Right where you are, God is All

MARIE ANTOINETTE COWING

There is just one God—no other creator, cause, or force. "I am the Lord, and there is none else," Isa. 45:5. the Bible asserts.

Doesn't this statement also imply that God is infinite and fills all space, that there is no place for anything but God and His expression to be? Since God is Spirit and All, the universe, together with everything in it, is actually spiritual. Mortal mind, the supposed consciousness of life in matter, projects its own picture of creation, and so man, the outcome of God, seems to be a mortal in a material world. But Mrs. Eddy affirms in Science and Health, "Divine Science rolls back the clouds of error with the light of Truth, and lifts the curtain on man as never born and as never dying, but as coexistent with his creator." Science and Health, p. 557.

If the real man was never born into matter and cannot pass out of matter, where is he now? He is living in divine Mind, hidden from human vision by the curtain of false belief that would mislead us into thinking there is a now and a hereafter, a here and a there, a material creation and a far-off spiritual millennium.
