Man Is Not "an isolated, solitary idea"

HANNI DENNISON

The belief that one can be alone, separated from God, good, seems to haunt many mortals. If not protected spiritually by the truth of man's relation with God, anyone may be assailed at any time by loneliness and similar distressing thoughts.

Mrs. Eddy gives us these inspiring thoughts with which we can meet and master suggestions of aloneness, incompleteness, and the like. She states in Science and Health, "Man is not absorbed in Deity, and man cannot lose his individuality, for he reflects eternal Life; nor is he an isolated, solitary idea, for he represents infinite Mind, the sum of all substance." Science and Health, p. 259;

Here we come to comprehend man as fully and permanently integrated into the universal family of spiritual ideas with whom he lives in joyous, holy relationship.
