Spiritual Multiplication

Helen Wood Bauman

In the first chapter of Genesis, which records the revelation of the true, spiritual creation, God commands all living things to multiply. Not only man, but the grass, the herb, and the fruit tree are commanded to yield fruit after their kind. All living creatures are to bring forth abundantly. Every true concept, or idea, expresses the living, omniactive Mind, God—its source. Every spiritual concept multiplies.

Christian Science shows that matter is not mentioned in this great revelation of God's creation, for matter is temporal, destructible—the very opposite of Mind, Spirit, the one creator. And because matter does not enter into the real creation, multiplication must be understood in its metaphysical meaning as taking place in the realm of Spirit and through the reflecting of Spirit.
