The Tangibility of Spiritual Identity

Alan A. Aylwin

This is an era when many are challenging the value of spiritual concepts. Their preoccupation with material objects, events, and goals is making it difficult for them to accept the practicality, the actual tangibility, of spiritual reality. Also, the unproven assertions of scholastic theology have caused a revulsion from religion in general, from what the educated mind calls mere speculation or superstition.

Is there, then, a scientific method of perceiving the tangibility of man's spiritual identity? Is there a sure and certain way to see beyond what the material senses call reality and prove the actuality of God's omnipresence and His perfectly governed universe of spiritual ideas?

Christian Science affirms there is. It is proving this assertion today, and has been proving it for over a century through thousands of cases of spiritual healing. Any open-minded individual can study and utilize its teachings and thus convince himself that the spiritual tangibility demonstrated by Christ Jesus and other Biblical characters is here and operative in the twentieth century. Mrs. Eddy assures us: "The individuality of man is no less tangible because it is spiritual and because his life is not at the mercy of matter. The understanding of his spiritual individuality makes man more real, more formidable in truth, and enables him to conquer sin, disease, and death."^{Science and Health, p. 317;}
