Spiritual Sense—The Pathway to God

Alan A. Aylwin

God is definite and knowable, and Christian Science shows us how to find Him. It shows us how to penetrate the opacity of matter by utilizing spiritual sense, a God-given intuitive faculty brought to light by a purification of thought and act.

Mrs. Eddy writes, "Spiritual sense, contradicting the material senses, involves intuition, hope, faith, understanding, fruition, reality." And further on she adds, "Spiritual ideas lead up to their divine origin, God, and to the spiritual sense of being." Science and Health, p. 298;

When seeking the knowledge of God, we should not visualize a manlike being, or superhuman. This concept may fit the limited sense of a tribal deity such as the early Hebrews entertained, but the God of Christ Jesus and the New Testament is universal in scope. He has no human connotations, but is personal in a non-anthropomorphic sense—infinite Spirit, divine Love, irrepressible Life, the real Mind, or Ego, of man and the universe.
