Study the Platform XVIII of XXXII

&;

Hi, this is Marsha from Loveheals.us
Come study the platform with me from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy in the chapter called Science of Being, page 330. We’ll take one part of the platform each day for the next 32 days. We’ll read the words Mrs. Eddy has given us. Then, I’ll share with you some ideas that have come to me and then you get to share your ideas in the blog online in the comment area below.
If you know anyone who might like to participate in this exercise, please forward this to them to have them subscribe to my website.
If you miss some, you can catch up by going to the menu at the top
called “Study the Platform“.

XVIII. (The only substance) Spirit, God, has created all in and of Himself. Spirit never created matter. There is nothing in Spirit out of which matter could be made, for, as the Bible declares, without the Logos, the Aeon or Word of God, “was not anything made that was made.” Spirit is the only substance, the invisible and indivisible infinite God. Things spiritual and eternal are substantial. Things material and temporal are insubstantial.  S&H 335: 7

 Marsha: “Spirit is the only substance, the invisible and indivisible infinite God.  Things spiritual and eternal are substantial.  Things material and temporal are insubstantial.”  This specific thought is also one of the building blocks in the Scientific Statement of Being – “Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal.”

The entire Scientific Statement of Being reads,

“There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter.
All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all.
Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error.
Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal.
Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness.
Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.” S&H 468: 9

  1. It should not be so difficult to choose spiritual being as the fact about God and man over material and chaotic existence. In the words of Nike, “Just do it!”

    Physically planks are built over a strong Platform
    Spiritually they build our understanding of who we really are and we can “cling to them for support “
