Question: How can one find immortality, health, and happyness ? PP, Crewe, England.

Answer: All reasoning as to immortality, and the health and happiness it in­cludes, must begin with God. What and where is God? God is not an enlarged human person living at some unknown address. God is the one everywhere-present intelligence or Mind, of which our true selfhood is the expression. Can God be seen? Yes, but not with the physical eye. The physical eye sees physical per­sons and things. It has no capacity to see what is metaphysical - that is, above the physical - and cannot see Mind, intelligence. Mind is seen, or perceived, only by Mind-sense, spiritual sense, and it is seen where it is manifested. Christ Jesus mani­fested God, true Mind, more than others, and could say, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father," meaning that he who perceived the activity and qualities of God which he manifested had seen something of the character of God. Man as idea is really the identified activity of God, or, in the words of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, page 475, he is "the conscious identity of being as found in Science, in which man is the reflection of God, or Mind. . . ." This is something to ponder: man is that by which Being, Mind, is identified.

It is time to stop clinging to physique and a temporary material organism as man and gratefully recognize that the Bible writer knew what he was talking about when he said man is the image of God. That is the man God makes, and that is the one real man now. What everlasting Mind originates it perpetuates.

Logic Shows Man Is Godlike

For centuries mortals have been thinking with complete absence of logic concerning man. They have started with an intelligent, perfect God and ended with an imperfect, ungodlike man. How the imperfec­tion of man arises while God re­mains intelligent and perfect, they have never rationally explained. As a mathematical error never orig­inates with the principle of mathe­matics, so an imperfect concept of man never originates with the intel­ligent Life-principle, God.

The trouble has arisen here. It has been easy for mortals to accept the premise that God is perfect, intelligent, and good, but when it comes to man they find the ag­gressive testimony of matter and the material senses confronting them. These senses say man is far from being Godlike and perfect. They testify that he is little more than flesh, blood, and bones. Be­cause mortals have not been suffi­ciently imbued with the spiritual idea of Life to see the unreliability of the testimony of material sense, they have accepted its illogical, ma­terial misconception of man, and temporarily lost the logical and true idea of man as the reflection of the perfect and eternal Mind which is God. Logic and understanding have been lost in the wilderness of the testimony of material sense.

Through Christian Science the in­dividual learns how mentally to stick to the logical conclusion that an eternal God, or intelligence, consti­tutes only an intelligent and eternal man; that a good God constitutes only a good man; that a healthful God constitutes only a healthy man. Like produces like, asserts Christian Science, and the Christian Scientist refuses to be moved from this sim­ple scientific base by any, or all, of the testimony of matter and mate­rial sense. Mrs. Eddy says in Sci­ence and Health, on page 70, "The testimony of the corporeal senses cannot inform us what is real and what is delusive." By the corporeal, material senses is meant material seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching. They cognize only what is temporary and material, never God, His man, or the things that are eternal.
