The infinity factor, a vital component for freedom.The above sentence may be grammatically incorrect, "a component for freedom?" It is correct, however, from a scientific standpoint. While infinity is a fundamental factor of reality by which man is free, this factor needs to be focused on consciously in the realm of daily living and public policy, in order for mankind to experience freedom. This requirement causes one to explore the domain of Christian Science which deals with human faults, such as disease, hate, murder, war, deprivation, etc. which are divinely unnaturally, and unknowable to infinite Mind that embraces all Truth. In its operation for healing, Christian Science brings together the absolute parameters of Truth, with the failing systems of the human scene, thereby creating a platform to counter human error. Except, by which procedural path does the transformation take place, that takes us from sickness to health, and how does divine Love furnish the needed flow as was pointed out earlier, that "divine Love meets every human need?" In Volume 3 the eight major synonyms for God had been explored (see Appendix D) that Mary Baker Eddy had specified. Four of these term appear in the Glossary, and four were omitted. The four which appear in the Glossary are all absolute or infinite concepts. They are: Life, Mind, Principle, Spirit. These, evidently pertain to the highest row of the matrix. But, Love, Soul, Truth, and Being, cannot be understood in an absolute sense, still, they are aligned to infinity. Love, has no meaning, when all is love, but it has meaning as a tool for dealing with finity and limitation, through which we begin to face up to infinity and illimitability. The term, love, has a definite meaning on the human scene, such as in the parable of the good Samaritan, where love for God and man inspires certain actions towards healing the wounds of an injured man. Mary Baker Eddy recognized this as a fundamental principle in every healing process. She wrote, "If the Scientist reaches his patient through divine Love, the healing work will be accomplished at one visit, and the disease will vanish into its native nothingness like dew before the morning sunshine."*(Science and Health 365:15) In the parable of the 'good Samaritan' the actions were simple. The Samaritan poured "oil" and "wine" into the wounds, which Mary Baker Eddy defined in part as "consecration" to good, and "inspiration." These qualities, consecration and inspiration, are related to the Christ, which is also the cardinal point that defines the characteristic of the second row of the matrix, a characteristic that becomes the boundary between finity and infinity, which is somewhat shown in Appendix E. What is significant about Appendix E, at this point, is the fact that the entirety of both the upper and lower environments that we were dealing with in Appendix A14, which include the dimension of the Renaissance, are located within the domain that Mary Baker Eddy has defined as "the translation of mortal mind" which does not include the dimension of infinity. This is the fundamental reason why the development forces of the Renaissance where unable to effectively deal with oligarchism, so that the Italian Renaissance failed, beginning in 16th century, and American Renaissance, beginning in the 19th century. The failure in both cases can be traced to the fact that the foundation for oligarchism, which is finity and limitation, had not been dealt with at this point as the Science for doing so, had not been understood. The Renaissance had achieved much, but not everything. This is why the challenge exists today to step beyond what the Renaissances had achieved. Appendix E shows that the cardinal point, the Christ, coincides with the highest level of Mary Baker Eddy's translation of "mortal mind," where she says that "mortal mind disappears, and man as God's image appears." This statement characterizes the elements on the third row as being upwards transitional to the first row. In appendix A14, the first row stood isolated, except as a possible resource for inspiration flowing into the columns. However, when the unifying mechanism is recognized that brings the upper two rows together so that mankind deals with the deeply seductive concept of finity and limitation, and overcomes them and embraces infinity as the reality of man's being, a higher point of reference comes to light that is solidly centered on the first row. The scientific transition from the second row to the first row, activates the first row in consciousness, which totally changes the dynamics of the matrix. This activation is accomplished by what Mary Baker Eddy terms, divine Science. Appendix A16, shows the transformation that is taking place. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
