AN ENDURING MENTAL ENVIRONMENT HERE TO BE DISCERNED

Good morning,

I've extracted immeasurable good by culturing a completely
different concept of "environment" than I had ever previously
realized, for, quite frankly, I didn't think about the
environment that much! It just WAS, and that was that!
However, what has opened for me to modestly glimpse are
facts of such irrefutable clarity and potency that they
simply cannot be allowed to be tossed aside or swept under
the rug.

Our bodies are the "environment" Mind which is occupying
when appearing within the manifest visible realm. Our
home is our self-executed design and structure that we've
brought forth from out of the infinite invisible Unknown by
building it within the finite, visible known! Our cars are
the "environment" that give rise to freedom of mobility
that, in turn, enables us to remain active servants of the
Spirit as we dedicate our energies to working in His Vineyard!
The absolute, "sum total" of that identified in the scientific
statement of being, (S&H: 468:8), as " . .. and its infinite
manifestation," points toward and exclusively identifies
"environment" -- the complete and total visibly manifest
realm of "effect!"

Scripturally, only the first four words of Genesis depict
Infinite Cause -- that which we call God. "In the beginning
God . . . ." Everything else within those sacred sixty-six
Books is a chronicle that depicts the finite, or effectual,
visible realm. The opposite is true of our sacred Textbook.
Its every word points directly to Cause, as that's the starting
point from which all true spiritual development begins!
Thus, we realize the imperative mandate, in Science, to
reason from Cause to effect; never from effect to Cause!
Spiritual sense leads consciousness to an infinite understanding
of the finite; whereas material sense discloses a mere finite
sense of the infinite!

So called, "Christendom" engages in shenanigans of this kind
all the time by substituting the man, Jesus [a finite sense of
the infinite] at the ever so costly price, or expense, of
missing entirely the "infinite sense of the finite" . . .
or, the Christ!

When manifested within its First Advent to humanity,
the Christ employed the man, Jesus, as its 'user friendly'
"environment in which to make itself insuppressibly known
to the "benighted understanding" of the race deemed "human."
In its Second Advent, now underway within the realm regarded
'human,' "The divine manifestation of God," has, indeed,
"come to the flesh to destroy incarnate error." (S&H 583:10)
However, although the Truth that manifested in the First Advent,
and the Truth now manifesting in the Second Advent, is one and
the same Truth, today, in its Second Advent to humanity,
the Christ, Truth is revealed as being identical in nature,
essence and wholeness to the Truth that first appeared over
two thousand years ago! What has changed, however, is the
"environment" into which the sacred and divine white Christ
of God is now appearing Self-manifesting within this day and
age! The eternal Christ of God has chosen to manifest as the
"manifesto" of heaven now made visible upon earth and freely
available to all humanity simply by accessing a copy of the
Christian Science textbook! A bound book is the body occupied by
Christ Science as it undertakes the work of unbinding all humanity
from self-imposed and inflicted ignorance of God!

Untouched by human hatred; unweakened by blood-loss occasioned by a
crucifixion; reviled and persecuted by the totality of earth's
assumptive egos; the Christ of God, just by BEING, and without any
invested thought processes involving mental gymnastics, effortlessly
heals every whip stitch of venomous hatred and vile contempt that the
world can muster in an attempt to maim, humiliate, ostracize and
demean! Amazingly, the Christ in its Second Advent continues to go
about its designated business with such spiritual skill that attests
to it being 'scientific'; transforming and translating every atom of
belief in that which God is not -- and doing so with sublime artistic
executions and demonstrations. For the Christ, although unseen by
the mind that 'feels' its presence, . . . goes peacefully amid the
storm, unscathed and untouched by the world's putrid protestations
and rancorous contempt.

It required thirty-three years of being submerged under the belief of
'earth-time' for the Christ to heal Jesus of the belief that he was
Jesus! And the eternal Christ accomplishes this identical wonder
NOW, everywhere there is a 'where' occupied by self-conscious
awareness! Knowing no time, space, distance, season or
dispensational periods of time, the eternal Christ of God experiences
none of these evasive, illusive and baneful belief-hoaxes under which
humanity currently believe do, indeed, actually exist, and therefore,
does humanity mistakenly believe that these belief-hoaxes constitute
reality!

This archetypal mental domination of humanity is the only adversary
man has ever encountered or experienced! It defies being analyzed,
as that would render it one third of the way along on its translation
back into Mind. To uncover its mythical maze of so-called educated
beliefs would instantaneously strip this global hoax of another third
of its fabulously fantastic complexion! The remaining third calls
for error's annihilation, and this is where real 'work' begins! If
executed by way of spiritual translation, as revealed in Science, the
end is near, for the work of 'spiritual translation' invariably leads
error to its own annihilation and permanent extinction.

Interestingly, the uncovering, analyzing and annihilation of that
which already "isn't," takes place, exclusively, within that
"environment" now manifest and known to all as 'earth.'! The
"environment" Science has designed and structured for ItSelf to
occupy, when entering within and manifesting upon the finite, human
domain, is none other than the sacred, individuality of each and all
of Mind's differentiated extensions of Itself! Each individual,
when manifest into visibility upon earth, exists exclusively to serve
as the Temple of the Living God! And wherever God's Temple is, there
too is heaven! "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the
Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all
generations." Psalms 100:4-5.

NOTE BENE: Mental environment

"It is needless for the thought or for the person holding the
transferred picture to be individually and consciously present.
Though individuals have passed away, their mental environment
remains to be discerned, described, and transmitted. Though bodies
are leagues apart and their associations forgotten, their
associations float in the general atmosphere of human mind."
Mary Baker Eddy, (See: S&H 87:5.)

"Holding a quickened sense of false environment, and suffering from
mentality in opposition to Truth, are significant of that state of
mind which the actual understanding of Christian Science first
eliminates and then destroys." Un. 56:9.

Very little equals in import and urgency of current global beliefs
about the "environment." From every source on all sides can be heard
earth's "struggling hearts" yearning for improvement of one kind or
another that involves their "environment." Science reveals man as
the "environment" Mind brought forth for Mind's Self-satisfaction
and Self-completeness! Complete satisfaction, although experienced
subjectively by Mind, matriculates and manifests into finite
visibility as that is the realm wherein the Infinite experiences
itself being finite! -- perfectly finite -- eternally finite!
Hence the absolute reciprocal necessity between and betwixt Cause
and effect.

Science is God's gracious means that enables all beset with conscious
entrapment within and by that believed "finite," to access 'point-
perfect' understanding that reveals to the man believed entrapped,
the true and actual infinitude of ALL BEING which is immediately and
universally available, in Science! Being a liberated being, in
Science, is realized by consciously ratifying and acknowledging that
which Mind already knows, has always known, and will, throughout the
timelessness of being, forever know!

If only mankind could realize that its only need is to assimilate
that Mind which, in this day and Age, is made manifest as Mary Baker
Eddy!

She may appear to have passed on, however, "Though individuals have
passed away, their mental environment remains to be discerned,
described, and transmitted." The pressing needs of this and every
hour yet to come is destined to continue to the end! Approaching
their end, the needs intensify and accelerate! However, there is
no excuse for not accessing that association with the Leader, which
"floats in the general atmosphere of human mind." It is her very
presence, here upon earth today, that is responsible for the utter
destruction of that which she laid to rest upon her departure from
the "atmosphere of human mind." Those who tarry within a dead
church corpse; are themselves, those of whom Jesus spoke when
saying, "Let the dead bury their dead."

How is it conceivably possible to bury the Leader, if she
unquestioningly is destined by Mind to continue to lead the Cause?
