CHRISTMAS 2022 – Part F

CHRISTMAS 2022 – Part F
Once the little book open is OPENED UP – then the BIBLE can be opened up! The following is from W. Gordon Brown’s book FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION. [My comments will be in these types of brackets.]
BIBLE Matrices
This is the end of what Brown provides for us at the end of his book in matrix form. The following, as a reminder, is the SCIENCE AND HEALTH MATRIX (Its sixteen chapters epitomized in the sixteen sections of “The Apocalypse”)
CHRIST AND CHRISTMAS MATRICES – according to Ingeborg
THE HIDDEN MEASURES OF MEAL
The following excerpts are from Mary Baker Eddy’s First Edition – Part II. Helen M. Wright published this three part series. Her main topic on page 4 is WHAT THE GREAT RED DRAGON SIGNIFIES.
“Before we start with [the second chapter of the first edition of SCIENCE AND HEALTH,] “Imposition and Demonstration” does anyone have a question concerning the ground we covered in Chapter I, “Natural Science”?
“Elsie: Yes. In those sessions we talked about Mrs. Eddy’s ‘hiding’ her teaching in fulfillment of Jesus’ parable of the ‘leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.’ I am still not clear what it was that she hid. Could it be stated directly, I mean bluntly, exactly what she hid?”[1]
Now, while I agree with what they said was hidden, I think Mary Baker Eddy also had to hide the matrix system and her place in Bible prophecy as the Second Coming of Christ, the angel of Revelation 10, the second witness, the woman God-crowned, and the bride city, and she hid it in “The Apocalypse” chapter. So, going along with the chapter “Science, Theology, Medicine” (three measures of mill) could we say that Science is the Matrix System, Theology is the Truth about Mary Baker Eddy (who she is), and material medicine becomes unnecessary once we wake up to the fact that men and women do not need to have sexual intercourse, because, man is whole and complete as generic man?
In response to Elsie’s question:
“Moderator: Yes, indeed, it can be! It is really the vital question—the tenaciously held belief in human birth. It has long been avoided because it is still extremely unpopular; but sincere seekers of truth cannot avoid facing it. What we have to avoid is stating the truth too bluntly. All is lost if the truth so shocks our listener that he runs for cover.
:”Who would like to expand upon the answer to Elsie’s question?
“Abraham: Mrs. Eddy said: ‘Mankind is face to face with the last enemy, human birth, and knows it not.’
“Elsie: Does this mean Mrs. Eddy’s writings are all directed toward the overcoming of this ‘last enemy, human birth,’ but that her teaching had to be hidden?”[2]
Now, some people today, think they are WOKE, some politicians and some “Green planet savors” are trying to get people to stop having children. But their reasons for doing so are wrong. Their reasons are all based upon material reasons instead of spiritual Truth of what should be accomplished naturally – no force is necessary. Also, they do not mind you having sex and getting pregnant, just so long as you abort that child. This too is wrong and not God’s WAY. Also, what happens to go against God’s WAY are mortal minded men creating a virus, then a vaccine to so-called virus, forcing people to take the vaccine, and then this vaccine causes sterilization in men and women. It is wrong and it has the name of malpractice.
“CORPOREAL SENSE OF CREATION ‘CAST OUT’
“Abraham: Yes. We know in St. John’s vision of the Apocalypse {Revelation} the great dragon (animal magnetism) was cast out of heaven, as Revelation 12:9 tells us:
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent {from the Garden of Eden}, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world.
“Now, Elsie, if you will read p. 56:11 of our present SCIENCE AND HEALTH, you will notice that what is ‘cast out’ is ‘the corporeal sense of creation.’ In other words, Jesus prophesied to St. John that human birth, ‘the last enemy’ alias ‘the great dragon…called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world,’ was to be ‘cast out.’ Here ‘the corporeal sense of creation’ or human birth is equated with the ‘great dragon’ and is cast out. Could it be plainer?
“This Dragon stands for the sum total of human belief, called Animal Magnetism, — belief that organic animal life produces sin, sickness, and death. [This dragon is mortal mind and ‘one theory about this mortal mind is that its sensations can reproduce man, can form blood, flesh, and bones’ (1910 ed. 372:6)].
“The Revelator lifts the veil from this embodiment of all evil, and beholds its character. He sees a great red Dragon at the couch of the ideal deliverer of this present age, causing her sore travail. {Who else is this “ideal deliverer” but Mary Baker Eddy?} The Revelator sees that old Serpent whose name is Devil, or Evil, holding untiring watch, that he may bite the heel of truth, and devour the offspring of the spiritual Woman, who is prolific in health, holiness, and immortality. (S&H 16th to 40th ed., p. 515).”[3]
“Also, Elsie, if you will turn to page 265:21 (1910 ed.), you will notice it says: ‘the error is unreal and obsolete.’ Then to find out what ‘the error’ is, we look at the marginal heading which reads: ‘Mortal birth and death.’ It is mortal birth and death that is unreal and obsolete. To repeat, ‘the corporeal sense of creation’ is ‘unreal and obsolete,’ and is equated with ‘the great dragon,’ which must be ‘cast out.’
“Understanding and comfort will come to the seeker after Truth by turning to page 68:30 (ibid.) which begins:
“‘Proportionately as human generation ceases, the unbroken links of eternal, harmonious being will be spiritually discerned…’
“Actually, once we take seriously the fundamental platform in Science—that God makes and governs man, that man is therefore not a product of the union of the sexes—there is no longer a mystery concerning what Mrs. Eddy hid. We then see logical evidence of it on every page, especially as our grasp of the system grows stronger and we accept her teaching that we are divine Principle, Mind, which can only create spiritually, never materially.”[4]
My question to you, the reader, do you accept what you are reading as being correct? Are you willing to give up sex (lust)?
“JESUS’ STATEMENTS ON BIRTH AND MARRIAGE
“Florence: In our last session we were reminded that Mrs. Eddy told a class it was Jesus’ teaching on this very point of human birth that made the high priests determine: ‘it is expedient for us that one man should die…[so] that the whole nation perish not’ (John 11:50).
“Elsie: Could someone give a few references to indicate what Jesus had been teaching that caused the high priests to fear him?
“Danny: Matthew 22:30 records him saying: ‘In the resurrection [in the awakening from the Adam dream] they neither marry, nor are given in marriage…’
“Matthew 19:14: Jesus, speaking of little children (who have no knowledge of sex), said: ‘of such is the kingdom of heaven.’”[5]
Today the communist Left (politicians, media, education, law system) around the world are brainwashing and doing everything they can to teach the children SEX, SEX, SEX (six, six, six – the devil’s number). They are bringing cross dressers into the libraries and class rooms, and other places, they are teaching little children that it is okay for them to go out onto the play ground and masturbate in front of their friends; places like gyms and YMCA are allowing trans-sexual men (who only claim to be trans-sexual) to enter into female showers and locker areas, they try to convince little children that they are mixed up and only think they are a boy (if a boy) and a girl (if a girl) that they really are the opposite sex, that they need to change their pronoun and their name, and even worse, change their sex organs – and all the other children are forced to say this new pronoun and new name or they can get in trouble (expelled for sexual harassment). These things may sound absurd, however, they have happened. Oh, and the child who is told that they need to transform their bodies (perhaps has even been given drugs to do so) are told to keep this from their parents (its a secret). All of this is being done in order to keep “the children” from being of “the kingdom of heaven” and from being allowed to “come unto the Christ”. “Suffer [permit] the children to come unto Me [Christ],” Jesus told his disciples.
Think about how harmonious these children actually would be if they were told God’s Truth about who they are! We need to be teaching the children that they are complete and whole because they have never been separated from God! The children are complete and whole because they manifest and express both masculine and feminine qualities and traits, so there is no need to change the material organs (the point is moot). To believe in sex is all a part of mortal minded beliefs, it is all a lie, it is all the lie that you – as a child of God – were born via sexual copulation of two opposites and that you were born into a material body!
“Matthew 23:9: ‘Call no man your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, which is in heaven.’”[6] We can say also, “Call no woman your mother upon the earth; for one is your Mother, which is in heaven.” Mary Baker Eddy gave up the title of mother in 1910.
“Moving on to Mark 12:25: Jesus said: ‘For when they shall rise from the dead [from the Adam-dream of life in matter] they neither marry nor are given in marriage.’
“Mark 13:17: ‘Woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck…’ See also Mark 10:14, 15.
“Then we come to Luke 17:27: ‘They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark and the flood came, and destroyed them all.’”[7]
“Ark: Safety; the idea, or reflection, of Truth, proved to be as immortal as its Principle; the understanding of Spirit, destroying belief in matter.
“God and man coexistent and eternal; Science showing that the spiritual realities of all things are created by Him and exist forever. The ark indicates temptation overcome and followed by exaltation.” (S&H 581:8-14; emphasis added)
God creates All things. Material men and women via sex are not the creators of people!
“Luke 20:34, 35: ‘…they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain…the resurrection from the death [from the belief of life and sensation in matter] neither marry nor are given in marriage.’
“Luke 23:29: ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bare…’”[8]
Most everybody knows the myth about Pandora’s box. People actually think that the box is a box, but it really is a reference to Pandora’s womb. Even the old myth is telling us that nothing good comes from the birth of a material person.
“Lastly, in John, 8:43-45: Jesus speaks plainly about human birth. He tells them they can’t understand him because:
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning [believing there is life and sensation in matter is the murderer]…When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
“Moderator: Thank you, Danny. Would anyone like to add?
“Grace: Among notes preserved of Mrs. Eddy’s teaching, the following is found:
“In a booklet entitled Fragment of a Lost Gospel, published by Oxford University Press, giving account of sayings of Jesus that are regarded as authentic by scholars, we find the following: ‘When Salome asked when those things about which she questioned should be made known, the Lord said, “When ye trample upon the garment of shame, when the two become one and the male with the female, neither male nor female.”’ The meaning being that Christ’s kingdom on earth would not manifest itself until man had returned to the state of innocence in which sexual ideas and relations had no place. ‘When Salome asked how long death would prevail, the Lord said, “So long as ye women bear children, for I have come to destroy the works of the female.”’ Logia of Jesus, Christian Science Journal, Vol. 25, ‘Jesus was asked, “How long shall the dominion of death continue?” Jesus saith, “As long as (material) birth continues for I am come to destroy the works of birth.”’ See Matt. 5:17 and S&H 59. (DCC p. 14).”[9]
Do you see that the Marxist atheists, who are in charge of today’s children in the public school system, are out to destroy “the state of innocence in which sexual ideas and relations” have “no place”? They believe that if you destroy the child’s innocence by introducing them to lust (sex) then you destroy God’s spiritual ideal! But they do not understand that God IS ALL, and that lust is impotent against Mind, Spirit and Truth! All the children need to be armed with, in order to fight sex (the devil), is the Scientific Statement of Being – especially the first line – “There IS NO life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter”!
“Jesus said, ‘I am a man who has told you the truth.’ In the Old Testament there are many statements that Jesus must have brought to his listeners’ attention. For instance, Jeremiah (20:14, 15) cursed the day of his birth. Job 3:1-3: ‘Job…cursed his day…and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born…’ In Job 14:1, he reiterates: ‘Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.’
MARY BAKER “EDDY’S SIMILAR STATEMENTS
“Moderator: In our discussion of her chapter I, “Natural Science”, we reviewed the teaching that Jesus was put to death because of his outspoken and uncompromising stand on human procreation. Very few are ready for this teaching even today. Had Mrs. Eddy not hidden her teaching on this subject her mission would have been aborted.
“Now let’s tie this in with what Mrs. Eddy has written in Chapter I of the first edition. What does she emphasize there?
“Anna: What seems to stand out are her plainly-worded statements, such as:
“‘We are Spirit, and Spirit is God.’
“‘We are Soul,’ and ‘to admit oneself Soul sets us free.’
“‘We shall be found Love, Life, and Truth when we understand them.’
“Remember this is MRS. EDDY’S teaching. There are dozens of such forthright, open, profound and unmistakable statements of Truth in the first and other early editions (which are also in the final edition but in veiled form). She makes it clear that ‘Jesus regarded himself Principle,’ and unless we understand that we are Principle, we have nothing to work with or from. ‘All consciousness is Mind,’ Principle.
“On page 10:25 of the first edition she says: ‘Opinions and beliefs are the foundation of all error.’
“Elsie: Just what is the error?
“Anna: It is the false belief that makes us think we are man, ‘the reflex shadow of God,’ when the truth is, ‘we are Spirit, and Spirit is God,’ as clearly stated in the first edition.”[10]
In regards to The Fifth Element, we could restate the last sentence as, “It is the false belief that makes us think we are corporeal creations, a Mr. Shadow planet, when the truth is, we are the Fifth Element, God (Principled-Love), as clearly stated in the first edition of the little book open (Revelation 10).”
Mary Baker Eddy “tells us the mistake of thinking we are man instead of knowing we are Spirit and that Spirit is God, adversely affects the harmony of man far more than the Ptolemaic blunder relating to the sun and earth, in that it ‘reverses the order of Science, and assigns to matter the power and prerogative of Spirit, so that man becomes the most absolutely weak and inharmonious creature in the universe.’ As has been repeatedly emphasized, this blunder robs us of knowing that we ‘have sovereign power to think and act rightly’ (Pulpit and Press, p. 3:7); and of knowing that we are always ‘alone with [our] own being and with the reality of things’ (Message of 1901, p.20:8).
“Bill: The belief that man is born of a woman is strongest in the most material natures. The physical body is an unfoldment of mortal mind out into expression. Mortals say: ‘I have gotten a man from the Lord.’ But this ‘was a falsehood from the beginning; for this man was a foul murderer, and Truth and Love never produced…the Adam and his progeny; that which is not God, or His idea, is not only evil and mortal, but unreal, yeah, illusion’ (first ed. p. 258). What Mrs. Eddy had to hide were those open forthright statements that we are God. The mortal, misinterpreting these, assumes he is God, and that he, through a process of sexual union, can create other mortals after his own kind. Her denunciation of ‘marriage synonymous with legalized lust’ and of corporeal creation as that which is ‘cast out’ of heaven, alias the great red dragon—all one and the same error—caused her to be crucified, as it did Jesus when he put forth this same truth.
“Elsie: Now I am beginning to see! Could it be stated in one simple sentence?
“Bill: Yes. She hid the truth that human birth is the murderer—that ‘there is nothing jubilant attached to the birth of a mortal that suffers and pays the penalty of his parents’ misconception of man and God’s creation’ as she explained in her Christmas message to the Christian Science Board of Directors. In this message she added: ‘But there is joy unutterable in knowing that Christ [our true selfhood] had no birth, no death, and that we may find in Christ, in the true sense of being, life apart from birth, sorrow, sin and death. O may your eyes not be holden, but may you discern spiritually what is our Redeemer’ (DCC p. 128).”[11]
I am not sure to which Board of Directors she gave this message to, however, the board of 1910 heeded not this message. If they had, then they would have given up their despotic control over all Branch Churches – the opposite happened! They disobeyed the estoppel clauses in the Church Manual.
“Notice how the next bit of evidence links her mission with that of Jesus who said, ‘I am come to destroy the works of birth.’ (As we read this account of Mrs. Eddy’s teaching, remember, she said her mission was “to complete the works of Christ Jesus.”) The following incident was recorded by Lydia Hall who served in Mrs. Eddy’s home:
“Mrs. Eddy received a letter at Pleasant View from Christian Scientists in Concord asking her to congratulate them over the birth of a Christian Science baby. She read it aloud; then with apparent indignation uttered: ‘A Christian Science baby! A crime! Just as much a crime as a murder would be! She paused…then raised her hand and shaking her finger declared with great emphasis: ‘No loyal Christian Scientist will ever marry’ (DCC p. 255-256).”[12]
Do today’s Christian Scientists think their children are Christian Science babies?
“THE GENIUS OF A DIVINE REVELATION
“We can see why she had to hide the pivotal point of her teaching from the worldly material thought that would again crucify this truth. The ability to hide the mystery of Godliness until it becomes self-revelatory to a receptive consciousness, is part of the genius of a divine revelator. Nevertheless, the clergy saw she was proving her teaching, and that she meant business—that it was not just empty rhetoric.
“Francy:…The clergy, the medical, the press, and their sympathizers saw that Mrs. Eddy meant business; hence the terrible persecution she encountered and the inescapable necessity to hide this teaching or it would be lost—ridiculed out of existence. ‘The disciples and prophets thrust disputed points on minds unprepared for them. This cost them their lives, and the world’s temporary esteem’ (Mis. 84:7).”[13]
Mary Baker Eddy told us: “The Science of being reveals…this ‘I’ not body, nor in body, but Soul outside of matter…Spirit and not person, and through this reckoning, man gains eternal identity.” (1st edition of S&H, p. 65:28) And on the same page, line 15, she states, “When we are Spirit we shall have gained the high import of this Scripture, ‘I and my Father are one.’”
If we are Spirit and Spirit is God, which we are, then the only “I” or “US” is the all-conscious Mind. But this is speaking in the realm of Truth, the reality of our true being, this is the spiritual realm and not the realm of illusions that we believe we were born into via sex. And this explains who the creator is in Genesis 1:26 – “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” as being the “Us,” the “Love, Life, and Truth”, when we understand them—it would have to be Spirit, Soul, divine Principle, which Mary Baker Eddy told us we are.
The offspring of this “Us” – or Life, Truth, Love – would be “a wholly mental, a divinely mental and spiritual creation, since like produces like.
“Moses: If this were understood spiritually and acted upon, what would happen to the human birth process resulting from a union of the sexes? and for that matter to the entire ‘marriage synonymous with legalized lust [syndrome]’? (My. 5:4).
“Elsie: I suppose, as Mrs. Eddy said, ‘the whole ghastly farce would cease.’
“Moses: Now do you see why she had to hide it? Was the world ready for this high-caliber spiritual thinking?”[14]
No, the world was not ready then. Is it ready now? I have to wonder. Many people that work at FOX News seem to be Roman Catholic. I do not dislike Roman Catholics, but they certainly do not exactly see real Truth. They may see truth (the truth that mortal mind puts forth, which is not God’s Truth) but they do not see or understand Christian Science, neither do Protestants. And I really think most Christian Scientists do not get it either, which is a sad statement of affairs!
“Mrs. Eddy wrote, there would be no more feeling in the body than in ‘the trunk of a tree which you gash, or the electric wire which you stretch, were it not for mortal mind.’ She taught that ‘matter has no sensation,’ but as Abraham quoted, ‘one theory about this mortal mind is, that its sensations can reproduce man, can form blood, flesh, and bones’ (1910 ed. 372:6). What would the humanly-logical men of the cloth, doctors, and other materially ‘intelligent’ folks deduce from these statements?
“They saw the inevitable consequence of such teaching, and as was said with the First Coming of Christ, so it was now said concerning the Second: This woman performs many miracles. If we don’t stop her, all people will soon believe her, and there will be no more fleshly offspring; then what will happen to our professions, our pocketbooks? She must be stopped!”[15]
Was this the mentality of her male Board of Directors in 1910? I am thinking, “T’is so!”
“The same elements in society that considered Jesus a criminal for ‘spiritualizing materialistic beliefs’ (Ibid. 316:25) persisted forty long years in their persecution of her whom God had appointed to complete the work of Christ Jesus—of her whose writing constituted the Second Coming of the Christ. But no weapon formed against her prospered. In spite of harassment and the fixedness of human illusions—she gloriously fulfilled her mission, leaving us the greatest, the richest, of all inheritances through the understanding of omnipresent Love.”[16]
And yet, she would have stayed here with us, she even said so, if her followers had been obedient to her. The men of the world persecuted her, but what finally made her leave were the men of her church, as they schemed behind her back to try and put her away and steal the estate from her (rape her – like Dinah was raped).
Mary Baker Eddy “doesn’t say openly what sin is. But when Laura Sargent asked her, ‘Mother, what do you mean by sin, sin, sin?’ She answered, ‘I mean the connubial relation’ (early Collectanea).
“God made them male and female from the beginning, but His creation was not physical. He made qualities and formations of character, which shall ever remain thus as the reflection of God [divine Love]…
“Is the connubial relation sin? Yes, Can you be a Christian Scientist and maintain it now, for honesty is the Christian Scientist’s first law? Can you uphold the old marriage relation, which is only legalized lust, and be a Christian Scientist?
“Failure to hold on to the Truth means fear of letting go of the error. Unwillingness to give up sin implies fear of not getting something satisfactory in place of it. (EOF p. 79-80).
“And in the final edition she writes: ‘False and self-assertive theories have given sinners the notion that they can create what God cannot, — namely, sinful mortals…’ (1910 ed. 204:23).”[17]
MARY BAKER “EDDY’S DEEP MEANING OF ANIMAL MAGNETISM
“Danny: The realization of this truth can raise the dying. The following healing illustrates the point;
“The care of an elderly parent involved several members of a family in sleepless nights of watching by her sickbed. One of the daughters, a Christian Science practitioner, offered to relieve the others so they could get some sleep.
“Alone with the unconscious form on the bed, she stood over it, and shaking her finger, said firmly, ‘You think you are a creator. You think you made all of us. You are nothing! Absolutely nothing!’ With that the woman awoke and she was healed.”[18]
This healing account made me think of the first version of Illustration 6 in Christ and Christmas.
“Moderator: Thank you, Danny. It took courage on the part of that daughter to utter truth, and bring out the fact that Spirit dominates all matter. As we rise spiritually we lose all sense of an ‘I’ in matter and we gain our true selfhood in Spirit. This realization raised the woman from her deathbed and restored health. Divine health is never dependent upon body but upon Truth, Principle, where it is forever the same.
“When Mrs. Eddy was pressed concerning what she meant by the term, ‘animal magnetism,’ her generic term for error, she said it was ‘sin,’ indicating the same meaning of sin she had given Laura Sargent.
“Speaking of ‘the Pandora box [the womb], from which all ills have gone forth, especially despair,’ Mrs. Eddy writes:”[19]
“The description of man as purely physical, or as both material and spiritual, — but in either case dependent upon his physical organization, — is the Pandora box, from which all ills have gone forth, especially despair. Matter, which takes divine power into its own hands and claims to be a creator, is a fiction, in which paganism and lust are so sanctioned by society that mankind has caught their moral contagion.” (1910 ed. S&H 170:28-171:3)
“Moses: It is mortal birth that pulls the wool over our eyes, causing the deep sleep which fell upon Adam, in which cause and effect are mere illusions. It is the false belief in mortal birth that seems to rob us of our true identity as Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love, until, through Science, we awaken out of false beliefs and illusions.
“Mrs. Eddy taught those in her home: ‘Every sexual emotion is a conspiracy against Science,’ and ‘the treatment, Love is All, will make the person treated mentally strong and confident, and without fear. Love is All, will destroy lust or sex desires, as sex is lack of mental confidence.’ (DCC pp. 79 and 285)
“‘Having a baby,’ she said, ‘is no more real than having a tumor.’
“‘God, the Mind of man’ (1910 ed. 470:17; 319:20) is the only creator, and does all the creating that is done. It is general mortal thought that first said man came from the dust of the ground, Adam; then from a rib, Eve; and now from ‘a circumscribed and non-intelligent egg’ (ibid. 550:1) But Science has come to teach us the present isness of Life. ‘Man is not shall be perfect and eternal’ (ibid. 428:23). And the time is at hand to accept ‘the spiritual origin of man which ushered Jesus into human presence’ (ibid. 325:27).”[20]
The first birth, of Adam, is of earthly elements and primordial soup (evolution via DNA); the second birth, of the woman, is a cloning technique that may or may not have ever really taken place, as there is no record in the BIBLE of Adam ever waking up from his dream (self-hypnosis) – so this second birth would only be a belief that man has been separated from his divinity (his womanhood); and the third birth, of Cain as an egg fertilized by poisonous sperm is the present mode of belief for creation/birth taking place (where man creates man via sexual copulation). Are not these three types of material birth counterfeits to “Science, Theology, Medicine”?
“A lie is never true. This departure from Truth came with the words sex, sexuality, sensuousness, matter; and these are the objective state of what is called mind separated from God, the one Mind. (EOF p. 45). [The solution is to see that man never was separated, never did fall away from oneness with God. However, one born of the flesh cannot avoid the struggle {Nephtali: wrestling} that ensues in the laying down of the mortal concept {Esau with red hair or the red Adamah clay}.]
“Mother {Mary Baker Eddy} explained the difference between a material sense of love and a spiritual sense. A material sense of love dishonors the one it professes to love through lust, as in marriage the man dishonors the woman he claims to love by taking away her virginity, thereby exposing the falsity of such a sense by showing it is not love, but lust, i.e. hate…This is the Lamb…slain from the foundation of a material sense of sexuality. (DCC p. 101).”[21]
“Bill: The root evil is respect for ecclesiastical authority {Simeon and Levi}, for tradition; the crowd is ignorant, they follow the herd instinct; they won’t think for themselves, but think what the ‘authorities’ tell them to think. Until instructed in Science we are all victims of the ‘crowd’ mentality.”[22]
In January 2023 world globalist men, and some women, got together in Davos, Switzerland (as they do on an annual basis) to scheme and come up with ways to make the “sheep” obey the new rules that they come up with. They tell us flat out what their goals are, they probably do not think many people are paying attention, and they are correct. But there are some who are awake to their plots and schemes. These globalists understand how to manipulate the “sheep”.
“During the terrible ordeal of the Next Friend’s suit, which involved her son’s complicity {and other relatives, along with her adopted son}, Mrs. Eddy said, ‘I am now being punished for the fruits of my first marriage’ (DCC p. 32). ‘A Christian Science Statute’ (Mis. 298) states: ‘These words of St. Matthew have special application to Christian Scientists, namely, “It is not good to marry!” But if one assumes a marriage contract one is held in faithful allegiance to it. Jesus assumed no such human obligations as marriage and church, but Mrs. Eddy contracted both so she was forced to find the scientific solution for them. This, of necessity, made her the bride.”[23]
I do not want to gloss over the fact that Mary Baker Eddy contracted for “marriage and church”. In fact, she was married three times! Yet, no truer Christian Scientist has ever come down the pike! Her first marriage was because she felt love for George Glover. Her second marriage took place because Daniel Patterson made promises to her, that he would help her take care of her son, but he reneged. Her third marriage was to Dr. Asa Gilbert Eddy. She married him after receiving a vision from God that Eddy would help her with the Cause of Christian Science. Are these three marriages similar to three churches? The first church was in Boston, and it had to do with Jesus, Mary’s real true Love. “To organize a church designed to commemorate the word and works of our Master, which should reinstate primitive Christianity and its lost element of healing.” (Manual, p. 2:10-13)
The second church was THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST, in Boston. It was “deigned to be built on the Rock, Christ; even the understanding and demonstration of divine Truth, Life, and Love, healing and saving the world from sin and death; thus to reflect in some degree the Church Universal and Triumphant.” (Manual, p. 19:2)
Was not this church built in order to protect her Son – Christian Science?
The third church was the Concord Branch in New Hampshire. It was her gift to the Field (and I will use this word “Field” – no wokesters have control over me!). It represents the city foursquare of divine Science – the Eddy that moves counterclockwise to mortal minded thinkers.
And so, marriage and church are “suffer [permit] it to be so now” surrendering so that we can begin to understand the Fifth Element…
“THE REAL MAN-WOMAN ONENESS
“Abraham: I think we all understand what has just been said was in no way meant to disparage the wonderful relationship that can exist between a man and a woman; it can be the nearest thing to heaven known on earth. We must remember that in Principle, in the great forever, man and woman are one. They were one in the beginning; the delusion that manhood is separated from womanhood originated with the Adam-dream {self-hypnotic deep sleep}. Regarding this Mrs. Eddy fully assented to the proposition that:
“The tendency of the desire for the sweet companionship of the opposite sex is divinely natural. Remember primarily the individual was equal and wholly satisfied. He was God’s image and reflection, reflection of Father-Mother. Learn not to condemn this longing, because it is about the only thing in a human being that seen for what it is indicates his divine entity. In the beginning man and woman were one, and mortal mind made the separation. Therefore the constant longing for completion. We show our love for God by loving His reflection. Divine Love will eventually cause each one of us to turn and find in Him what we have ever vainly looked for in each other…
“[Because of the persecution her teaching had met with she counseled wisdom and patience:]
“‘The wise man saith, “When I was a child I thought as a child, etc.”’ The wisdom of this and of every period is temperance, to wait on the divine energy’s development of moral strength and human possibilities. To push a fact to its ultimate sometimes so injures the predicate as to lose instead of to gain time in the unfolding of God’s plan. The absolute in divine Science is an infinite fact approachable in time by degrees; its ultimate is eternity, its footsteps are time. Marriage and offspring are mortal conditions which take their origin in the human, and not in the divine Mind. It is a great and solemn question how far to press the divine facts of being, and their manifestation, into present human experience and practice. (EOF p. 80).”[24]
So what is the solution for the human race, the solution to marriage and church? It must be Science itself – or the Three Great Categories of the seven synonymous terms, the four living creatures (divine infinite calculus), and the four levels of Science. In No and Yes, page 24:8, Mary Baker Eddy states: “My system of metaphysics rests on God as One and All, and denies the actual existence of matter and evil.” In the Message for 1900 (p. 2:7) she says, “the song of Christian Science is ‘Work—work—work—watch and pray’.” It takes work, work, and more work, on our part, to understand the three great categories. You can belong to any religion and you don’t have to do any work, it is only in Science that one needs to work. Here we are concerned with education, study, and learning. Christian Science is something that must be learned! God used Mary Baker Eddy as her recording angel because of the purity of her thought. “She wrote down what God dictated concerning those three all-revealing categories through which the infinite unknown, namely, divine Love (God), AS A WHOLE, could be reduced to simplicity. Even a child can now learn these categories, and so become one with God.
“The system of fundamental categories gives us the tools we need for all work in Christian Science.
“Moses: The first great category consists of the seven-fold nature of God which the first edition unequivocally states we are, though it remained for later editions to state this category in its present exact form as” Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.
“The second category is the divine infinite calculus, in which the seven-fold nature of God operates as the four orders of the Word, Christ, Christianity, and Science.
“The third category consists of the planes, levels, or dimensions of Science, namely, (1) Science itself, (2) divine Science, (3) absolute Christian Science, and (4) Christian Science.
“We start with the first great category, the seven synonymous terms for God. In the final edition Mrs. Eddy has approximately 800 references to Mind, 600 to Spirit, 161 to Soul, 300 to Principle, 370 to Life, over 700 to Truth, and 366 to Love.
“Careful study of the seven deific synonyms reveals their distinct character through the ideas associated with them. We ponder each of these references, not so much to find out and become familiar with our true identity, but rather to understand God, the Principle of being. Of course, as we study we become familiar with our true identity. Then as that understanding becomes concrete, tangible, real, to us, it becomes subjective and we don’t hesitate to acknowledge: I am Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love.
“Rookie: I can see that a higher motive is involved if we search the textbook because of the love of divine Truth than if we do the study only to find out our true identity. As she told the New York church, we must ‘rise above the often repeated inquire, What am I? to the scientific response: I am able to impart truth, health, and happiness…’”[25] The New York Branch church was Augusta Stetson’s church.
“THE OPERATIONS OF BIRTH OUT OF MATTER
“Who can add a little to the second overall category?
“Tommy: The second category is learning how these seven elements which constitute our divinity, our true identity, operate in a fourfold calculus of Word (seeking); Christ (finding); Christianity (using); and Science (being). The Word reveals our God-being to us. The Christ translates it. Christianity demonstrates it. And Science interprets it. Here, again, the right motive for study is the love of Truth, of God, infinite good—the love of reality. To arrive at ‘the atmosphere of God,’ which permeates the first edition, our motive must be completely selfless.
“The whole purpose of the system is this intermediary purpose to give birth to the understanding of God. This birth out of matter into Spirit is a daily and hourly growth. ‘It is forever getting nearer Love that is Love; universal divine presence and power’ (DCC, p. 72).”[26] Does not this whole paragraph give us a great description of the Fifth Element? “If the system doesn’t move us ever closer to the Love-Principle that expresses itself in love for one’s fellowman, we are on a divergent path.
“In working with the system Mrs. Eddy ‘denominated Christian Science’ we must watch that personal sense does not pervert it or subvert it into a false intellectual exercise. ‘Conscious worth satisfies the hungry heart, and nothing else can’ (Message of ’02, 17:24). But if personal sense is trying to arrive at ‘conscious worth’ it will never arrive.
“Moderator: Yes, we must not let the system become restrictive rather than expansive, and so lead us off the real path of love for God and man.
“Abraham: Apropos of that Mrs. Eddy admonished:
“The letter alone without a due proportion of the spirit of Christian Science, almost inhumanizes a mortal; it chastises his material mode of love, of feeling, or being either kind or true, and if he has not gained the spiritual sense of those, there is nothing left to him but the knowledge of a false sense of goodness which he must either loathe and lose the false sense of goodness, or else, having it, be consciously false to himself, and of necessity false to others. (EOF, p. 57).
“A great sacrifice of materiality has to precede this advanced spiritual understanding. We have to give all our love to Principle without first asking: What am I going to get in return for it?
“UNDERSTANDING LEVELS OBVIATES ‘CONTRADICTIONS’
“Margie: The third great category consists of the four levels on which these seven synonyms, which constitute our being, operate, namely, the level of Science itself, divine Science, absolute Christian Science, and Christian Science. A student who understands the levels on which Mrs. Eddy wrote finds no contradictory statements in her writings; he becomes aware that ‘the divine Science of man is woven into one web of consistency without seam or rent’ because:
“From the infinite One in Christian Science comes one Principle [the only “I” or Ego (1910 ed. 588:9)] and its infinite idea, and with this infinitude come spiritual rules, laws, and their demonstration (ibid, 112:16). Man has perpetual individuality; and God’s laws, and their intelligent and harmonious action, constitute his individuality in the Science of Soul. (No and Yes, 11:5).
“The outcome of a spiritual understanding of the scientific system in our textbook is the establishment of ‘the supremacy of Spirit which obliterates the human sense of the divine, takes away all sense of matter, and reveals the final fact that the idea, Christ, is not a materialized or finite man or woman, but is the infinite concept of infinite Mind.’ (EOF, p. 48).”[27]
This ends their “review of the divine system with which we must identify ourselves—but with which, in reality, we are already at one”[28] with.
