"The lens of Science"

Alan A. Aylwin

What a happy, healthful, satisfying panorama comes into view when we look at human experience through the lens of spiritual perception! Instead of weakness and disease we behold the radiant strength and well-being of spiritual man as the reflection of omnipotent Spirit. Instead of poverty and want the reality of divine Love's all-satisfying affluence comes sharply into focus. In other words, we learn to look right through the mirage of material persons, objects, and circumstances and behold something of the normal harmony inherent in the universe of Spirit. Mary Baker Eddy says, "The lens of Science magnifies the divine power to human sight; and we then see the supremacy of Spirit and the nothingness of matter." Miscellaneous Writings, p. 194;

The mission of Christian Science is to reveal the truth of being. It is here to unfold to human consciousness the true nature of God and His universe, and the wonderful freedom and harmony this understanding brings to mankind. Through the study of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and the other writings of Mrs. Eddy, one may actually feel and know the reality of spiritual substance and apply this priceless perception in every practical way.

To "see" God means to perceive spiritually a reality unknown to material sense. No human eye can penetrate the mist of matter and behold divine reality. Yet multitudes of earnest students of Christian Science are demonstrating a sure knowledge of this unseen presence by healing the sick, the sinner, and the heavy of heart.
