A superterrestrial experience

ERIC BOLE

A recent science fiction film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, portrayed what one capsule movie review described as "mankind's first contact with a vastly greater extraterrestrial intelligence."^{ The Christian Science Monitor, January 13, 1978;}

Human thought has always reached expectantly upward, outward, and beyond itself in the hope of finding a greater intelligence and power that can transform life. Christian Science provides a spiritual basis, a scientific explanation, that justifies such hope. What is more, Science reveals that this transforming power is present here and now, that it is the intelligence of God, infinite Mind, which is forever revealing the ever-presence of the supernal realm of Mind.

As Christian Science is understood, it fulfills our hope. It brings the light by which we discover the reign of peace and dominion eternally within. Our hope cannot be fulfilled by matter, achieved within the scope of the physical senses. Harmony is found in true consciousness bestowed on us by the power and intelligence of omnipresent divine Mind. It is the Christly consciousness of which Christ Jesus spoke when he said, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."^{ Luke 17:20,21;}
