God's Law of Infinity

Helen Wood Bauman

Anyone can see that everything material and mortal is finite and is the expression of a finite mind. According to this so-called mind, no mortal concept, be it physically outlined, gaseously pervasive, or materially powerful, can break out of its limitations into the infinity that manifests Spirit, or God. Whatever is material must remain in the realm of the finite. Infinity has its own glorious realm.

When one sees how all that is evil is developed from a basis of finiteness—finite good, finite life, finite supply—he is not surprised when he reads this statement by Mary Baker Eddy in her book "Retrospection and Introspection" (p. 67): "The first iniquitous manifestation of sin was a finity. The finite was self-arrayed against the infinite, the mortal against immortality, and a sinner was the antipode of God."

What is needed is a change of realms, a change from the material consciousness of finite beliefs to the spiritual consciousness of infinite ideas, from earth to heaven.
