Harmony—a divine connectedness

BEULAH M. ROEGGE

Harmony is a spiritually scientific fact and not merely a pleasant material arrangement of notes, colors, forms, people, movement ... whatever. It represents the unity, the essential oneness, of the divine universe. "God is harmony's selfhood," Unity of Good, p. 13. Mrs. Eddy writes. In this true harmony there is no friction, nor can there be vacuums or lapses, for spiritual harmony is a divine connectedness.

The human heart fears estrangement or meaningless, dishonest involvements, but may feel that these are the only alternatives to discordant relationships. However, even a glimpse of the spiritual fact that God's universe is one unified whole reveals ways to resolve discord into harmony, to heal, and to draw us closer to one another.

Christian Science teaches that in reality there is one Mind which is reflected in the true consciousness of each one of us. There is one body—one infinite individuality—expressed by each. Reflecting the divine individuality, we, in a sense, include each other—but that's a subject for another editorial. There is nothing external to man's knowing, for there is nothing outside God, the divine Mind that man reflects. To the degree that we understand this, we find immunity from the discords of diseases and personality conflicts, and escape the isolation of unrelated lives.
