As 1995 draws to an end 1996 brings into focus the anniversary of a 175 year period of spiritual development that began with the birth of Mary Baker in 1921 and brought a new light into the world at its 45th anniversary in 1866 with the discovery of Christian Science. The year 1996 marks the 130th anniversary of this discovery.
In celebration of the 130th anniversary of the discovery of Christian Science, and the 175th anniversary of the birth of its founder.
This work is dedicated in celebration of the above anniversaries. It is dedicated to honor Mary Baker Eddy and her achievements for the advance of mankind. The sheer volume of cases of individual healing that have resulted for the efforts of Mary Baker Eddy, is uncountable, as the majority of the cases that have unfolded quietly in the background haven never been recorded. This tide of healing, however, pails in comparison to the scope of healing that is still required at this age, in which the tallest contribution of Mary Baker Eddy to mankind, her scientific development structure that may be named the Key of David, has the potential to aid significantly. It is fitting, therefore, that this work designed to bring to development structure to light in the world was completed at the Christmas season of 1995, celebrating the end of an era of development unfolding in the background over more than a decade of intense work.
The 175th anniversaries of the birth of Mary Baker and the discovery of Christian Science at the 45th anniversary of it, 130 years ago, are significant not because of any force of time-inherent numerology, but for the human aspect of mankind which tends to reflect back at such occasions, coupled with a rededication to the significant principles that the historic anniversaries represent. Here is where the value lies of such anniversaries. It appears to be in part the anniversary driven periodic rededication of humanity to fundamental principles that causes history to appear cyclical in nature. This tendency, which none-the-less has powerful effects, indicates somewhat the potential for progress that does exist if mankind's dedication to fundamental principles becomes continuous and universal, rather than cyclical.
In very real terms, the whole of human development has been a continuous process of advancing discoveries of the power of Mind. Mary Baker Eddy's birth and discovery of the Science of Christianity were but aspects of this still ongoing much larger cycle of advancing discoveries of Mind and the infinite potential of its manifest. The beginning of Christian Science may be traced back to its real birth more than two years ago in the lower Paleolithic era, when the first human being shaped tools out of stone to improve his living. The birth-day of man coincides with the first discovery of the power of the mind that raised the physical platform of his living above the platform of the material universe, to a platform of ideas with which to create resources for living. Except this was but the first faint step in a chain of infinite development. The Christian Bible, in the first book of Genesis, presents a chain of seven major aspects of unfolding discovery. In the textbook chapter, Recapitulation, Mary Baker Eddy presents seven aspects with which she answers the question "What is God?" This chain begins with Mind. The other terms are "Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, and Love." Each one of these aspects are areas of progressive discovery. None can be left out. Every one is vital for raising the physical platform of human living to higher levels of freedom above the limits of the material universe to where ideas and discoveries uncover realities that prove the matter-based theories of man as invalid, and matter itself as an erroneous concept. Mankind's very existence at the present population density proves that matter is not a factor of life, but intelligence is. Even the nuclear physicist doesn't see matter as matter, per see, but as energy, order, organization, the manifest of fundamental principles.
