Are you trying to get along with others?

CAROLYN B. SWAN

Getting along in our job, home, family, church, and community relationships is the natural outcome of realizing man's coexistence with and likeness to God. Inharmony among people often results from trying to get along with inharmonious people. A false sense of man can be reconciled neither with God, who is immortal Spirit, nor with itself, since it is discord. But Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, "Outside the material sense of things, all is harmony."^{ Science and Health, p. 489.}

We break through the illusion of the material senses as we challenge the reports of these senses with the truth of Christian Science, and express our true individuality. Expressing the true spiritual individuality of man, created in the likeness of the one God, brings genuine harmony.

Mrs. Eddy writes of the only infallible Ego, "God is harmony's selfhood."^{ Unity of Good, p. 13.} We can each express our Godlike selfhood, bring out divine harmony in human living, and proportionably help to free mankind from the enmity and egotism that attend the mistaken belief that God and man are divided.
