Christian Science: Pure Metaphysics
Originally published in the 1917 pamphlet titled Christian Science: Pure Metaphysics
THE term metaphysics, derived from two Greek words, meta, meaning over, above, or beyond, and physicus, meaning physical, signifies over, beyond, or above the physical. In true metaphysics, or absolute Christian Science, all is Mind ; there is nothing physical or material, there is no matter. The so-called science of physics has no part with true Science or metaphysics. Beginning with matter, all is matter; there is no mind. Beginning with Mind, all is Mind; there is no matter.
There is nothing real that Mind does not evolve, govern, and control; Mind is Spirit, and everything that Spirit creates is like itself, spiritual and not material. To Spirit there is no matter, all is Spirit. The finite, limited, or material sense would have all things material, would have life, substance, and intelligence in objects; but the spiritual or unlimited sense, the scientific understanding, reveals the spiritual to be the real and the material the unreal. The so-called material universe is not the true idea.
Wipe out or eliminate all that can be called a material universe or a material man, and the true man, the true expression of God, still remains, and will forever remain, no more subject to change or annihilation than is God, the infinite Principle, in whom man lives, upon whom he depends, and whom he represents. To find man, the true man, is not to study the physical man so called, but to study the reflection of God. By so doing we grow into the consciousness or realization of our relation to God and attain the divine atonement or at-one-ment with the Father; and this means having no other Life, no other intelligence, but God, the divine Principle.
