Spirit precludes opposites

If Spirit exists at all, it must be infinite, for we cannot conceive of Spirit being confined within boundaries of any kind. Mind, Love, Truth, Life—all these terms are synonyms for God, and Christian Science shows us that God is everywhere expressed.

Mrs. Eddy states, "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." Science and Health, p. 468. Since there can be no real opposite to infinite Mind, nor any real absence of Mind and its pure ideas, what appears to the material senses (which are always ignorant of reality) is not an entity but an illusion, a counterfeit of the true something.

Christian Science, through spiritual education, inspiration, and illumination, enables us to replace material illusions with divine fact. When we intelligently acknowledge God's allness, consciousness becomes illuminated with the Christ, Truth, which dispels darkness—or mortal thought. The Christ reveals to us what is really there all the time: the perfection that God, Mind, is expressing everywhere.
