Actually, it is already coming to light through this book, and its essence is already being applied from an entirely different direction than the one she worked from.  This, too, in itself, represents a process that can be recognized as a function of Church.  Mary Baker Eddy defines, Church, in part as follows: "The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick."  The work of today's most advanced scientists in the field of political economy, and physical economy, like the work of Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. and the work of his associates and related organizations, may be characterized with this definition for CHURCH by Mary Baker Eddy, by virtue of their deeply scientific efforts for creating among mankind a new period of renaissance through scientific, moral, and spiritual understanding.

The lower definition of the term, church, in the Glossary says nothing about buildings, or about directors, or memberships, nor does it mention Christian Science at all, it speaks of institution, and of rousing understanding, and applying Science.  Webster defines "institution" as an "Act or process of instituting."  And under to "institute" Webster writes: "To set up; originate and establish."*(Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary - 1959)  Only at the deeper and more specialized levels of that definition, does Webster link the term, institute, to organizational institutions.  In its fundamental sense the word refers to a process of setting up, of bringing about what is already founded in reality.  So, Mary Baker Eddy's definition of Church as a structure for instituting reality, does apply to the larger process that this book is a part of, and whatever other efforts are made by organizations or individuals to establish the truth about man in advanced forms of perception and reflected in advanced levels of civilization.

The operation of a 'church' organization, like all human organizations, may benefit from the structure for the Key of David, when the subject is dealt with and applied to the government of motives and acts.  Presently, every church organization in the world is operating essentially as a unidimensional structure, with the Christian Science church offering no exception.  It is run by a powerful board at its center which controls virtually everything that is even remotely connected with Christian Science.  In the background of this unidimensional church, stands the Church Manual which is already established on all the essential aspects of the three dimensional structure.   That the By-Laws in this manual cannot be implemented until its foundation is recognized to exist and is acknowledged as valid, is plain to see.  Nor is the fundamental relationship of the Manual to the matrix the only link that ties the two together.  More direct ties exist, which also should have caused some mental movements to occur.

The Manual presents a range of specific terms that define specific actions according to the specific domains to which these actions apply.  For instance, the Manual states that the business of the Mother Church shall be TRANSACTED by the Christian Science Board of Directors.*(Manual p.27)  Note, the board is required to TRANSACT (not conduct) the business.  There is a vital difference indicated.  The prefix "trans-" has a root meaning of a lateral movement, of crossing a gap, space, or obstacle.  It speaks of underlying law that is carried across from the understood and unmanifest into practical deeds that reflect spiritual law put into action.  There is no room for personal volition in this process of transacting.

The trustees of the Christian Science Publishing Society, on the other hand are required under the Manual provision to CONDUCT the business of the Publishing Society.*(Manual p.79)  The basic definition for the term "conduct" according to Webster, is "To lead; guide; escort."  The leader of an orchestra conducts.
