CHRISTMAS 2022 – Part A

            Mary Baker Eddy wrote a poem, had it illustrated, and titled it Christ and Christmas.  It was released on December 2, 1893. 

A SYMBOL BEHIND A KEYHOLE

            On a recent episode (December 5, 2020) of Ancient Aliens on the HISTORY Channel, the topic was the keyhole.  They mentioned that the keyhole symbol has been used throughout history and they showed examples of buildings, little islands, wells, that have the shape of a keyhole.  Well, even the cul-de-sac street that I live on has the shape of a keyhole and I am sure nothing symbolic was meant by it.  One shape they showed was that of a pyramid with a circle on top of it.  I feel that this could be symbolic of a person.  However, they explained that it was the sun (circle) representing heaven and a pyramid (triangle) representing earth, and the two being connected was heaven and earth as one.  But why not go even further with their analogy and say that the circle represents the head while the triangle represents the body – or – divine Mind (God and Christ) of the circle and the triangle (man) are united as One Being.  We also have mentioned in the BIBLE, by Paul, that the body is the wife and the head is the husband. 

            Not all keyhole shapes have a pyramid shape, but a rectangular shape to it (see the diagram below).

THE SIXTH DAY OF TRUTH – Part I

            Gordon W. Brown wrote a book called CIVILIZATION LIETH FOURSQUARE (copyright 1987).  What I want to present to you is CHAPTER III “Christian Science:  Discovery and Founding”.  Mr. Brown presents a seven-day process that Mary Baker Eddy went through during her God-crowned mission.  I do not always agree with Mr. Brown on certain topics (or points), but I do think that he presents a pretty good matrix structure for the whole of human history in accordance with the seven days of Genesis 1-2:3.  He explains that these seven days are not really about the creation of the material world, but rather a period of 7,000 years that begin around 5,000 b.c.  He does not deny that life existed before this time period, but that this is when the time for the BIBLE actually begins.  I tend to agree with him on this point.  We could even say that the BIBLE presents the story of one particular race of people – the Israelites.  The Israelites become the bases for the United States of America where Judaeo Christian faiths are reunited as one people.  When this takes place then the BIBLE story continues on with its Bride – SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY TO THE SCRIPTURES, by Mary Baker Eddy.
            Brown’s book deals with the seven-day unfoldment of human history for the BIBLE.  Of course, the BIBLE only takes us up to the Fifth Day of Life.  The Sixth Day of Truth begins, to my estimation, in June 0996 and ends on June 5, 1996.  At this point, like in Genesis, there is a mental cut off, for the Six Days of Creation are found in the first chapter of Genesis only while the Sabbath Day (7^th Day) is found at the very beginning of chapter 2 in Genesis.  Likewise, on June 6, 1996 the Seventh Day of Love begins.  But it is the Sabbath Day of Rest not really a day of creation like the other six days.  Yet people still refer to these seven days as the seven days of creation.
            In Brown’s third chapter he explains how Mary Baker Eddy’s mission follows this seven-day process because Truth has the seven tones within it; while the Seventh Day of Love has only two tones – Love as Truth and Love as Love.  These seven tones are the seven synonymous terms for God in Mary Baker Eddy’s fourteenth chapter “Recapitulation” in SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY TO THE SCRIPTURE.  They are part of her answer to the question “What is God?”  It was Mary Baker Eddy’s God-crowned mission to provide us with these seven names of God in order that the Holy City would descend from heaven and be found on earth within man’s conscious thought (The Kingdom of God is within not without).
            {During this four part series my interpolations will be in this type of bracket when I am quoting from Brown’s book.}  I also make some corrections in italics (for titles of books, etc.) and may make some spelling corrections, even though I often leave the English style spelling instead of changing it to the American style spelling.
