Join Christ's Cadence
Join Christ's Cadence
"When we touch Truth's healing garment and behold Life's purity, when we find in Love the refuge that is man's security, when we turn from earth to Spirit, and from self have won release, then we see the risen Saviour; then we know his promised peace." (Hymn/poem by F. T. Hill)
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." (KJ, Phil. 2:5)
Our inner, transcendent being belongs to and is part of Christ. When we join Christ's universal, harmony-multiplying cadence then we benefit from its imperial and efficacious goodness. Our bodies, relationships and undertakings enjoy outstanding results.

Eddy: “Through the magnitude of his human life, he demonstrated the divine Life. Out of the amplitude of his pure affection, he defined Love.”

Our Inward Voice
Our Inward Voice
Moses objected, “They won’t trust me. They won’t listen to a word I say. They’re going to say, ‘GOD? Appear to him? Hardly!’” So GOD said, “What’s that in your hand?” “A staff.” “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it. It became a snake; Moses jumped back—fast! GOD said to Moses, “Reach out and grab it by the tail.” He reached out and grabbed it—and he was holding his staff again. “That’s so they will trust that GOD appeared to you, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” GOD then said, “Put your hand inside your shirt.” He slipped his hand under his shirt, then took it out. His hand had turned leprous, like snow. He said, “Put your hand back under your shirt.” He did it, then took it back out—as healthy as before. (AB, Ex. 4:1-8)
"While His truth we are applying, and upon His love relying, God is every need supplying, All, all is well." (Poem/Hymn by M. Peters)
Eddy: “God had lessened Moses’ fear by this proof in divine Science, and the inward voice became to him the voice of God …. And so it was in the coming centuries, when the Science of being was demonstrated by Jesus, who showed his students the power of Mind by changing water into wine, and taught them how to handle serpents unharmed, to heal the sick and to cast out evils in proof of the supremacy of Mind.”
MIND-TRUTH is communicating to us wisdom, power and courage. This is the "inward voice" of TRUTH which reveals that material problems -- illness, terror, conflicts, limitations and insecurity -- are impotent, substance-less, carnal illusions. All troubles are eradicated by the “inward voice” of MIND which we all possess.

So Ananias set out; and as soon as he came into the house he laid his hands upon him, and said, Brother Saul, I have been sent by that Lord Jesus who appeared to thee on thy way as thou camest here; thou art to recover thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. And with that, a kind of film fell away from his eyes, and his sight was recovered. He rose up, and was baptized; (Knox, Acts 9:17-18)

We will experience gushing flows of health, spiritual vision and rich opportunities.

“LOVE is holding me tenderly within its unbounded
wholeness. I am enjoying the cycles of LOVE’s illimitable health, life
and joy. The mistaken and feeble images of flesh-trapped thinking cannot
affect my spiritual integrity and peace. LOVE is caressing my entire
being with boundless health. I can feel the gentleness of its mighty
presence in me. I am free in SOUL. Illness and suffering are
delusions of mortal sense that never interrupt my unity with SPIRIT. The
Christ-influence is illuminating my consciousness with inviolate
perfection. My thought is rising higher to know and feel my healthy and
vigorous substance. The glory of Truth/Love encompasses and determines
all of me. And these divine facts flow out into the world to comfort and
redeem all who need it. For all these holy reasons I rest and am
satisfied in the preponderance of Love.”

PRINCIPLE's Order
Meanwhile the boat, already far from land, was being tossed by the waves, for the wind was against it. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were frightened and said, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out in fear. 27 But right away Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take courage, it is I! Do not be afraid. "28 And Peter answered him, saying, "Lord, if it is you, tell me to come to you on the water." 29 And he said, "Come!" So Peter got out of the boat, stepped out on the water and headed toward Jesus. 30 But when he realized that the wind was blustery, he became afraid; and starting to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" 31 And immediately Jesus reached out his hand, took hold of him, and said to him, "0 you of little faith, why did you doubt?" 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind died down. (MOUNCE, Matt. 14: 24-32)
Eddy: "Jesus walked on the water, fed the multitude, healed the sick, and raised the dead in direct opposition to material laws. His acts were the demonstration of Science, overcoming the false claims of material sense or law." And, "Spirit imparts the understanding which uplifts consciousness and leads into all truth."
When destruction and terror surround us we can assert our SPIRIT-imparted authority and restore peace, certainty, health and safety. As our spiritual comprehension of PRINCIPLE's imperial and ever-at-hand order develops we can do more to subjugate chaos, illness, fear, turmoil, pain and discord.

"Spirit of truth and love, Life-giving, holy, dove, speed forth thy flight; move on the waters' face, bearing the lamp of grace, and in earth's darkest place let there be light." (Poem/hymn by John Marriott)
Eddy: "The inaudible voice of Truth is, to the human mind, 'as when a lion roareth.' It is heard in the desert and in dark places of fear." And, "The divine Mind that made man maintains His own image and likeness."
Despair, terror, dead-ends, conflicts, decrepitude and affliction are terminated by MIND. The all-powerful detonations of MIND are effective everywhere where matter-distortions claim a hold, yet they are gentle and healing to us. We are enlightened by TRUTH, beautified by LOVE, invigorated by LIFE, and provisioned by SOUL.

Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip when they heard him and saw the signs that he did. For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who had them, and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed. So there was much joy in that city. (ESV, Acts. 8:5-8)
Eddy: “Look away from the body into Truth and Love, the Principle of all happiness, harmony, and immortality.” Also, “Neither organic inaction nor overaction is beyond God’s control; and man will be found normal and natural to changed mortal thought, and therefore more harmonious in his manifestations than he was in the prior states which human belief created and sanctioned.”
The Christ-grace in us recognizes, proclaims and enforces the sovereignty and preponderance of SOUL-LIFE-HEALTH. Our Christ-sense knows that MIND has made us replete with august abilities, exempt from matter-sin-disease, and fructiferous in evincing GOOD-GOD. This is why noxious, ailing and harmful habits/conditions are expelled and we unite in celebrating the superbness of SOUL and its creation.

The EGO-LOVE shapes us
Joining, then, Lord, in thy whole creation’s praise, let thy faithful servants bless thee; let them publish the glory of thy kingdom, and discourse of thy power, making that power known to the race of men, the glory, the splendour of that kingdom! No age shall dawn but shall see thee reigning still; generations pass, and thy rule shall endure. O how true the Lord is to all his promises, how gracious in all his dealings! Prostrate though men may fall, the Lord will lift them up, will revive their crushed spirits. (Knox, Ps. 144:10-14)
"When we touch Truth's healing garment and behold Life's purity, when we find in Love the refuge that is man's security, when we turn from earth to Spirit, and from self have won release, then we see the risen Saviour; then we know his promised peace." (Poem/hymn by Frances T Hill)
The solipsism of matter-intoxicated thinking blinds it to SPIRIT and man's spiritual excellence. The eminence of SPIRIT and man's reflected resplendence is discernible to our spiritual sensibility. Our Christ-sense knows that the EGO-LOVE shapes and interprets us. That our immortal animus and intent is to express SPIRIT-LOVE. And that we are graced by SOUL with its supra health, intelligence and riches. This understanding banishes illness, deterioration, failure, guilt and death. It heals us and restores our divine crown.

"I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." Then he said to the paralyzed man, 'Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home.' So the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe and praised God for giving such authority to humans." (GW, Matt. 9:6-8)
Eddy: "In proportion to his purity is man perfect; and perfection is the order of celestial being which demonstrates life in Christ, Life’s spiritual ideal.” Also, “Spiritual, not corporeal, consciousness is needed. Man delivered from sin, disease, and death presents the true likeness or spiritual idea."
MIND's imperial authority over all and man's immaculate, spiritual composition are eternal facts which we can reify as integrity of mind, character and body. A Christ-enlightened consciousness expunges character weaknesses, downfalls and physical malignancies. It makes tangible our SPIRIT-triggered wholeness and plentiful means.

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. If we are his children, we are also God's heirs. If we share in Christ's suffering in order to share his glory, we are heirs together with him. (GW, Rom. 8:16-17)
Eddy: "In Science man is the offspring of Spirit. The beautiful, good, and pure constitute his ancestry. ... Spirit is his primitive and ultimate source of being; God is his Father, and Life is the law of his being."
Our divine constitution mirrors the super excellence of PRINCIPLE-LOVE. Being SPIRIT''s masterpiece we represent its magnificence and permanence. The acceptance of this matter-transcending reality rectifies our minds, bodies and relationships. This Christly understanding supplants material corruption and pain with superabundant goodness and satisfaction. Christ is our victory and crown.

This woman had heard about Jesus and

she was cured of her trouble. …
But he said to her, “Daughter, it is your
faith that has healed you. Go home in peace, and be free from your trouble.” (Phillips, Mark 5:27-30, 34)
Eddy: “Every
function of the real man is governed by the divine Mind.” And, “The divine Mind that made man maintains
His own image and likeness.”
When, with love,
receptivity and purity, we "touch" TRUTH, then we "feel"
its transmuting power throughout our bodies, relationships and activities. The
Christ-sense proclaims "Beloved, you are whole and at peace." It
convinces us of our impeccable and munificent SPIRIT-drawn essence. Longstanding
and obdurate afflictions, addictions and foibles vanish spontaneously in the
luminosity of TRUTH. We can actualize our divine inheritance -- our excellent
health and wellness.

Eddy: "As mortals gain more correct views of God and man, multitudinous objects of creation, which before were invisible, will become visible. When we realize that Life is Spirit, never in nor of matter, this understanding will expand into self-completeness, finding all in God, good, and
needing no other consciousness."
The EGO-SOUL is always expressing its infinity. The effects of this unstoppable, indefatigable and supernal process are immaterial, man and universe. Also, MIND impregnates our pure, welcoming and expectant mental states with its own fecundity. We become fertile with MIND's fulgent, ingenious, perdurable and fructiferous concepts. We actualize these MIND-concepts as matter-eliding, Christ-in-action manifestations of bountiful and beautiful life, health, affection, generosity, inventiveness, talents, means and achievements.

"Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his" (KJ, Dan. 2:20) And, "the Lord give thee understanding in all things.' (KJ, II Tim. 2:7)
Eddy; “The maximum of good is the infinite God and His idea, the All-in-all. Evil is a suppositional lie.” And, “Mystery, miracle, sin and death will disappear when it becomes fairly understood that the divine Mind controls man and man has no Mind but God.”
The Christ-idea makes obvious that we are a spiritual composition, and that we are the product of the unparalleled magnificence of MIND-GOOD. The all-inclusive and beneficent mandate of MIND enforces superlative goodness -- intelligence, health, pulchritude, affection and joy. This Christ-sapience elides evil’s deceptions. It bans material distresses and enforces LOVE’s irrepressible blessings.

"I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts:" (Heb. 8:10)
Eddy: "Love is our refuge; only with mine eye can I behold the snare, the pit, the fall: His habitation high is here, and nigh, His arm encircles me, and mine, and all."
LOVE-SOUL is the inclusive ALL. LOVE cherishes, shelters and franchises everyone. To our MIND-induced understanding we are immaterial, ageless, deathless, and thriving Christ-beings. SOUL has conferred on us the spiritual perspicacity and mandate to disable and eject the pernicious inveiglements of evil. Matter-ensnared thinking imagines and experiences suffering, sin and death, but these vanish in Christ. Wondrous goodness fills our lives when Christ-cognizance takes over our mental processes.

SOUL's Effulgence
SOUL's Effulgence
For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light. For the fruit of the Light consists in every form of kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and trueness of life. (Eph. 5: 8-9)
TRUTH's luminance is over all. It is in everything real and coruscates through spiritual manhood/womanhood. TRUTH-ignited sapience empowers us. It vanquishes matter-enfeebled thinking and terminates fear, sickness, failure, pain, calamity and persecution. The blaze of the Holy Spirit quashes personal sense (pride, insecurity, guilt, self-condemnation, inhibitions) and catalyzes us to express our multitudinous, SOUL-nourished competencies. Man emits the splendor of SOUL-TRUTH.

Our Christ-like Might
Our Christ-like Might
It happened soon afterward that Jesus went to a
town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. 12 As Jesus approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being
carried out—the only son of his mother (she was a widow). A large crowd from
the town was with her.13 Seeing her, the Lord had
compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 He went up and touched the coffin, and those who carried it stopped. And
he said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”15 The dead
man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. (MOUNCE,
Luke 7:11-15)
Eddy: “Through the magnitude of his human life,
he demonstrated the divine Life. Out of the amplitude of his pure
affection, he defined Love.” And, “In infinite Life and Love there is no
sickness, sin, nor death, and the Scripture declare that we live, move, and
have our being in the infinite God.
LOVE-PRINCIPLE magnifies our spiritual sapience,
and this induces greater health, power, affection and achievements.
LIFE-TRUTH vivifies us and abrogates illness, downfalls, fault and death.
Through the magnitude of our Christly
understanding of our harmonious substance we demonstrate the healing authority
of divine LIFE. Out of the amplitude of
our Christly caring we can reject material lies and fear, and enjoy the transformative
effects of LOVE. In us and our loved
ones there is no material error for Christ is revealing that we live, move and
have our being in infinite SPIRIT.

Satisfied in LOVE
"Love looseth thee, and lifteth me, Ayont hate's thrall: There Life is light, and wisdom might, And God is All." (verse from "Satisfied," poem by M. B. Eddy)
LOVE liberates us from the hatefulness and corruptness of matter-enslaved thought-patterns and their concomitant phantasms -- fright, pain, deterioration, debilities and despair. LIFE inundates us with divine light and wisdom, making clear that we are blossoming in the ALL of SPIRIT, and sparkling with SPIRIT-generated health, affection, talents and ingenuity.

Living SOUL’s Divine Choreography
By
Julio C. Rivas, CS
I will think about the glorious honor of your
majesty and the miraculous things you have
done. … The Lord is good to everyone and has compassion for everything
that he has made. (GW, Ps. 145: 5, 9)
Eddy: “God fashions all things, after His own
likeness. … Man and woman as coexistent
and eternal with God forever reflect, in glorified quality, the infinite
Father-Mother God.” And, “All of God’s
creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, and
indestructible.”
SOUL’s immeasurable, matter-excluding excellence
upholds, feeds and characterizes us and everything in its infinite universe. We are SPIRIT’s magnificent opus, endowed
with MIND’s wonderful attributes, and we move in LIFE’s immortal and vibrant choreography. We are integrated into the ALL of TRUTH. To be certain of this supernal reality
banishes material tribulations into their oblivion of emptiness.
