INFINITE PROGRESSION

Harold Molter

In Christian Science we learn that God never loses sight of His perfect, eternal creation. He maintains it continually in a state of perpetual harmony. His law assures progressive activity and right associations for all of His ideas.

Such progressive activity is infinite. But it should be understood that the progressive activity of God's ideas does not mean improvement from imperfection to perfection or movement from one place to another. God's law of progressive activity is eternal and unchanging. It is the unfolding to and through man of the unlimited glories of infinite Mind.

In her book "Miscellaneous Writings" Mary Baker Eddy tells us (p. 82), "In obedience to this law, man is forever unfolding the endless beatitudes of Being; for he is the image and likeness of infinite Life, Truth, and Love." And she continues, "Infinite progression is concrete being, which finite mortals see and comprehend only as abstract glory."
