A SCIENTIFIC DISTINCTION

Helen Wood Bauman

Every natural science seeks the truth in its own field. Errors are then recognized and discarded. And so it is in Christian Science, which reveals the truth of being and rules out falsities concerning existence.

Before the discovery of this Science, the corporeal senses were quite generally accepted as part of man; but this fallacy leads to confusion and frustration. Christian Science makes a revolutionary and scientific distinction between true elements of human consciousness and false elements. Mary Baker Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 95), "Material sense does not unfold the facts of existence; but spiritual sense lifts human consciousness into eternal Truth."

Christian Science brings untold benefit to humanity by separating from true identity that which the carnal, or mortal, mind would attempt to add to each individual —corporeal sense. This Science relentlessly points out the falsity of corporeal sense; and it frees individuals from entanglement with the carnal senses by actual proofs of their unreality. Those who do not see the distinction between spiritual sense and material sense and who spend years in searching for life and happiness in the physical senses find this entanglement a serious problem. But those who awake to know the things of Spirit through spiritual sense are mercifully freed from the evils and limitations which mortal mind claims to impose.
