Man's Eternal Now

HARRY R. CHAMBERLAIN

No spiritual idea ever has a beginning or ending; every idea coexists with God, divine Mind, or Principle. Mrs. Eddy writes, "Principle and its idea is one, and this one is God, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent Being, and His reflection is man and the universe." Science and Health, pp. 465, 466; The illusions of time called past and future can be no part of the eternal now that is expressed as creation, including man. Every idea of Truth is a present fact. We may temporarily believe that we are involved in the illusion of materiality and its dream of imperfection, sickness, lack, but this only seems so to the physical senses because of our present limited understanding of God. And the physical senses do not cognize God or anything He creates.

We are humanly what we at present think we are. As our concept of man changes, so will our experience change. When the multitudes sought Christ Jesus, our Way-shower, individuals were released from many false concepts and evidenced Truth's power to correct error. Jesus proved his source to be God, divine Mind, and that nothing really exists outside Mind, or Life.

We express life because God is our Life and we reflect Him. We cannot be deprived of our eternal, living selfhood. Mrs. Eddy proved that these facts are as true now as in the time of Jesus. Her earnest followers have proved them in various degrees, and today, although most of the world does not understand how, Truth, Life, and Love are demonstrable and are the salvation of mankind.
