Practicing Perfection
Perfect Principle is ever operating, so harmony is always available to all mankind. Principle, God, is the creator of the spiritual universe filled with perfect ideas. And as we claim the fact of perfection and endeavor to prove it in daily thinking and living, we are proving our unity, or oneness, with God and in that degree are harmonizing existence.
Christian Science teaches us how to put off the limitations of self-centered thinking and thereby progressively demonstrate perfection in daily life.
Few of us are completely satisfied. Total perfection can never be found in the mortal realm, because God is the only Life there really is. The really good life is gaining the understanding of what God is and of what man is as His reflection. It is learning how—from the basis of this understanding—to express Him in our everyday affairs. And this Science shows us that the goal of perfection demands developing and expressing wholesome qualities.
