Today, as I was praying, some very strong thoughts came, and I wanted to share them.
Our Leader defines “Holy Ghost” as Divine Science in the glossary of Science & Health.
She equates divine Science with the Holy Comforter. (331 – 31)
A further reference to Divine Science: ” In the words of St. John: “He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.”
This Comforter I understand to be Divine Science.” (p. 55:27)
So, it came to me that This Comforter, Divine Science, is permanent, because The Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is forever part of “the triune Person called God”. (331: 26 – 27)
And, to experience the longevity of Christian Science, we simply need to witness it through healing to see it in its true light – “Science as applied to humanity.” (SH 127: 15-16)
This application is the “other half” of Mrs. Eddy’s discovery. (And, lately, I am feeling how our Leader expected all of us students to “discover” it for ourselves, through our own seeking. The true teacher that Mrs Eddy is, she lays her ideas out clearly, but does not “spoon feed” us.) :
“ The term CHRISTIAN SCIENCE was introduced by the author to designate the scientific system of divine healing.
The revelation consists of two parts:
1. The discovery …
2. The proof, by present demonstration, …”
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 123:16–20 (to discovery), 24 (only, to 2nd ,))
