In defense of God.No, this sub-heading is not a joke. Naturally, reality does not need to be defended, but one's reflection of the nature of reality needs to be carefully scrutinized. Mary Baker Eddy presented seven synonyms for God, which are "Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Truth, Life, and Love." As is shown in Appendix A24, if anyone of these aspects becomes lost to society so that it is no longer reflected in the actions and motives of mankind, the society is doomed. In a very real way, these synonyms stand as checkpoints that must all be met, for society to be safe. In the early stages of working with the Glossary terms in relationship to the matrix, a number of definitions of terms created a problem. One such was the definition for the term, BURIAL: "Corporeality and physical sense put out of sight and hearing; annihilation. Submergence in Spirit; immortality brought to light." The term has two definitions associated with it, presented in two separate sentences, which would normally define two separate aspects. Except in this case, the separation of the definition would totally alter the meaning of either aspect of it. In other words, the separate definitions came to light as checkpoints that must both be met for the concept of burial to be correctly manifested. If one of the two checkpoints is not reflected in daily living, then, evidently, one does not deal with burial at all but with some mythological concept. The same must also be said about the seven synonyms for God. If a single one of the aspects shown in Appendix A24 has the potential for tearing mankind to the ground, globally, all by itself, no matter which one it is because a corresponding divine quality is ignored in the activities of men, it must be said that a structure of checkpoints exists which are defined by the seven synonyms for God, of which not a single one may be lost, or be allowed to drop to the ground, or be ignored as unimportant. If you take away one and the 'house' is in danger, Goya would say: All must be present in the heart of man. They constitute reason. Take away one, and... "All mankind will fall; and there is nothing that can be done about it!" The sad fact is, that not a single one of these aspects of God that fundamentally define the quality of man, is actually in the forefront of public consciousness, today. This fact tells us something about the severity of the crisis that mankind is facing. That this crisis is real, is indicated by the near total decline in Christian Science healing, today. These divine aspects were high on the agenda around the time of the American Revolution and the development period of republican patriotism that followed, on which platform the science and technology of Christian Science healing could be perceived and implemented, and was. Though the exact words might not have been spoken in that period of great humanist development that built a great nation, the essence of the qualities that the divine aspects involved was strongly interwoven into the fabric of individual living as it was interwoven into the Constitution and the policy structures of the society. Some obvious questions emerge from the above: Into whose court do all the currently existing threats against humanity belong? Or are they isolated threats? And if they are not isolated threats, what does their orchestrated comprehensive denial of the nature of God indicate about the central force behind these threats? Does it indicate, that the central force is actively fighting against God, and God's reflection which is naturally manifest in progressive productive activity, unfolding life and security? || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
