Timeless, Ageless Being—Now!

LEE MacMAHON ADAMS

Just how real and how resistless is the pressure of time? The revelation of Christian Science completely negates the notion that time is a force external to thought over which we have no control. The spiritual fact is that man, the image and likeness of God, is not consigned to death by time restriction but is eternal, ever developing. And this fact, understood and demonstrated, acts as a law of liberation to the human mind and body.

Christ Jesus, the master Metaphysician, overcame the belief in time as an inexorable force which, from the very moment of birth, blights and finally blots out human life. His resurrection after the crucifixion proved the time barrier to be nothing but a cruel and senseless myth, finding its sole support in general acceptance.

Mrs. Eddy refers to this momentous spiritual breakthrough on behalf of all mankind in these words: "His three days' work in the sepulchre set the seal of eternity on time."^{Science and Health, p. 44;} Again she states: "Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time is no part of eternity. One ceases in proportion as the other is recognized. Time is finite; eternity is forever infinite."^{pp. 468, 469;}
