To live so as to keep human consciousness in constant relation with the divine, the spiritual, and the eternal, is to individualize infinite power; and this is Christian Science. Mary Baker Eddy

About This Site
Christian Scientists Online is all
about Christ Jesus' statement
"Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every
creature" (Mark 16:15).
Go ye into all the world. . . .
The world is a big place, and it's
not standing still—not by
any means. Every day brings
new advances, new issues, new
problems, new ways of living and
working, all affecting people in
countless ways.
. . .and preach the gospel
to every creature. Christian
Scientists (defined as those who
practice Christian Science) can't
stand still either. Christian
Scientists don't want to become
more worldly, but they do want
to be engaged with the world so
they can benefit people. They
want to improve people's lives,
yes, but they want to improve
them in ways that prove that
the Christ, so fully exemplified
by Christ Jesus, is here, now,
and that it is just as fully
engaged with the world as Jesus
was. Jesus was actively involved
with the issues of his day.
Sometimes the issues came to
him and sometimes he went to
them, but he always dealt with
them in ways that healed—ways
that healed not through matter
but through Spirit, God. He
preached the gospel in word and
deed. People were benefited.
So Christian Scientists Online
goes into the world to preach
the gospel—not in any
stereotypically preachy way but
by looking into the vast array
the world presents and offering a
Christly perspective that can
lead to greater understanding,
more effective healing and
problem-solving, and enriched,
progressive lives.
Christian Scientists Online
illustrates various ways Christian
Science relates to and can be
applied to what's happening in
the world today. It's intended to
help Christian Scientists be living
examples of Christian Science in
the way Mary Baker Eddy
describes in the quotation that
appears above: "To live so as to
keep human consciousness in
constant relation with the divine,
the spiritual, and the eternal, is
to individualize infinite power;
and this is Christian Science"
(The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, and Miscellany,
p. 160). By living Christian
Science and by making sure
that the perspectives Christian
Science offers are part of the
mix as mankind develops,
Christian Scientists can benefit
their communities, other people,
and themselves.
Each post on the site will
fall into one of three categories:
News
The news posts are meant to
give a Christian Science
perspective on current events
in virtually any arena (world
and national issues, culture,
science, technology, medicine,
economics, etc.). They show
how Christian Science is
involved with and has a role to
play in everything mankind is
dealing with in the 21st century.
They show ways Christian
Science healing can be brought
to bear on a wide range of
issues. They also highlight
opportunities for Christian
Scientists to provide that healing.

Got a Godometer?
The Los Angeles Times reports (April 7, 2008) that 400 drivers in Denver are having gizmos called accelerometers installed in their cars. Why? It's a test program to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The accelerometers will track driving habits and point out ones that waste gas and lead to greater pollution. The hope is that drivers will change any bad habits when those habits and their effects are exposed.
Great idea. But here's a greater one: having a Godometer.
A Godometer?
Yep. An accelerometer flags bad driving habits, but a Godmeter flags any thoughts we have that aren't Godlike—thoughts that could have some pretty nasty effects if we indulge them. It checks everything that flows through our consciousness and lets us know if it's Godlike or not.
It's an important distinction. As Mary Baker Eddy says in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 462), "Are thoughts divine or human? That is the important question." And it's what the Godometer lets us know. How does it do it? By determining the origin of each thought. Mrs. Eddy puts it this way: "How are veritable ideas to be distinguished from illusions? By learning the origin of each" (Science and Health, p. 88). She then continues, "Ideas are emanations from the divine Mind. Thoughts, proceeding from the brain or from matter, are offshoots of mortal mind; they are mortal material beliefs. Ideas are spiritual, harmonious, and eternal. Beliefs proceed from the so-called material senses . . . ."
Now here's the really good news: Each one of us has a Godometer installed at the factory. It's standard equipment for everyone; no one has to pay extra. As Paul puts it in the Bible, ". . . we have the mind of Christ" (I Cor. 1:16). The Christ—"the true idea voicing good, the divine message from God to men speaking to the human consciousness," as Mrs. Eddy defines it at one point in Science and Health (p. 332)—is always present in our consciousness, letting us know what's right, letting us know whether something is divine or based on erroneous material thinking. The Godometer is there. All we have to do is pay attention to it.
Oh, yeah—paying attention to it. That appears to be the hard part. Paul didn't pay attention to it for quite a while; in fact, he hunted down and persecuted those who did. But the time came when even he couldn't ignore the Godometer. Afterwards, he did his best to listen to it for the rest of his days. He accomplished some remarkable stuff as a result.
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus," Paul went on to write (Phil. 2:5). It's ours, after all, so we might as well use it. And if Paul with his checkered past could, any of us can. "Know, then, that you possess sovereign power to think and act rightly, and that nothing can dispossess you of this heritage and trespass on Love," Mrs. Eddy writes (Pulpit and Press, p. 3), adding, "If you maintain this position, who or what can cause you to sin or suffer?" Absolutely nothing. What it takes is the humility to stick with "whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Paul again [Phil 4:8]). Then, with the mind of Christ as our Godometer, we can accomplish some remarkable stuff too.

Better Experience, Cheaper Price
The drama critic for The Wall Street Journal was skeptical about the live opera telecasts the Metropolitan Opera is beaming to movie theaters around the world—until he went to one. He says they provide the audience with a much better experience than going to the Met itself; the video director's decisions resulted in a show far more involving than the one the critic saw of the same opera on opening night at the opera house.
The critic calls the telecast "overwhelming—one of the most memorable experiences I've had in a lifetime of opera-going." Another audience member he talked with said the telecast performance "got me right in the throat."
And the icing on the cake? Good seats for a performance at the Met go for $295, even $320 apiece. Seats for the telecasts cost $22.
A better experience for a cheaper price. Who wouldn't sing its praises?
And that brings us to Christian Science treatment for disease. Countless people have found it more effective and quicker than standard medical treatment. Many would echo the critic's comment about the opera telecast: a Christian Science healing is one of the most memorable experiences of life. And Christian Science treatment generally costs far less than conventional medical care.
What makes a Christian Science healing memorable isn't just the physical cure, although people certainly notice that. What's really striking, though, is the effect it often has, the feeling it creates. It's as if you (and everything else) have been washed clean, and you see things in a different light. You understand more about God and reality. There's no other feeling like it. At the same time that it bestows an almost otherworldly peace and calm, it invigorates you like nothing else.
No wonder people who witnessed Christ Jesus' healing work said things like "We never saw it on this fashion" (Mark 2:12). Such healing grabs you by the throat—figuratively speaking, of course—and changes you. You're not likely to be the same again.
"Thought imbued with purity, Truth, and Love, instructed in the Science of metaphysical healing, is the most potent and desirable remedial agent on the earth," Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science, writes (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 3). Those who have experienced such healing generally agree wholeheartedly.
It has to be said that Christian Scientists, like conventional medical practitioners, don't have a perfect record of healing, and great compassion and help is due all those who aren't cured, whatever the method. But it also has to be said that Christian Science has cured many people whose cases have been given up by doctors.
A better experience, maybe even a life-altering one, for a cheaper price. What's not to like?

Understanding Our Makeup
At a conference The New Yorker magazine is sponsoring in May, participants will hear from the founders of a company dedicated to helping people understand their own genetic information. No doubt the aim is to help people understand themselves, or at least their makeup, better. The focus will probably be on how our genes make us what we are and also on how they play a significant role in what happens to us—to our health, our behavior, our prospects.
But there's a different way to find out about ourselves and about our health, behavior, and prospects. And it has nothing to do with DNA. It looks in an entirely different direction. As the Bible puts it, "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" (Isa. 2:22).
Where are we supposed to look to find out about ourselves if we don't look at our genes, our biology and chemistry? We can turn to the Bible for that answer too: "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace" (Ps. 37:37). If you're looking for perfection, you don't want to look at matter and mortality. Instead, you want to look at Spirit, God, and spirituality. That's where we find the perfect man, created in God's own image and likeness (see Gen. 1:26, 27). That's what each one of us actually is right now. And that verse from Psalms shows what we can expect when we understand our spiritual heritage and makeup: peace—peace in our health and in every aspect of life.
This way of seeing ourselves and others is the basis of the religion and way of life that Christ Jesus established and demonstrated. Instead of paying attention to matter and its conditions, he paid attention to God, the Father of us all, and to the spiritual nature we all have as God's expression. This enabled him to cure illnesses, reform behavior, and solve all sorts of problems. As Mary Baker Eddy explains in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (pp. 476–477), "Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is intact, universal, and that man is pure and holy. Man is not a material habitation for Soul; he is himself spiritual."
Each one of us is spiritual, not material. This is what Jesus taught and proved. We don't delve into matter to find out about this; we delve into God. To understand ourselves, we have to understand God, since we're actually His expression, nothing else. It doesn't look that way if we focus on "man, whose breath is in his nostrils"—if we focus on genes and other material elements. But we can instead focus on "the perfect man," "God's own likeness." This has results, as Jesus repeatedly proved and as people are proving today as well.
Looking to find out more about this? You can study on the Bible and Science and Health on your own and find out about the divine Science that operates everywhere. Or, rather than spend a couple days at the New Yorker conference, you can contact an authorized teacher of Christian Science and spend a couple weeks in a class that focuses on Christian Science—on God and His laws and on man (each one of us, male or female) as His expression who can express only good. That two-week class costs a lot less than the New Yorker conference too—$100 vs. $2000. And it will continue to pay huge dividends in the years ahead.
Want to understand your makeup? Forget genetics. Remember your spiritual heritage and dive into it. It can make a huge difference in your life—and in other people's lives too.

Retiring Retirement
In January, the first of the baby boomers reached age 62 and became eligible for Social Security. And every day, on average, about 8,000 people in the US turn 60. So it's little wonder that lots of folks are trying to change retirement.
What are they doing? Some are working on ways for older people to live independently longer. Others are working to change the way people live when they can't be independent. And some are trying to make sure your money lasts as long as you do.
They're all worthwhile efforts. But maybe the best way to change retirement is to retire the whole concept of retirement. The notions that people may not have as much to contribute anymore, that they're not as needed, and that they're likely to decline gradually (or not so gradually) are, at base, bogus.
"God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis," Mary Baker Eddy writes in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 258). There's no retirement in that. Each one of us actually is God's idea, and we can naturally just keep on developing and developing, expressing and experiencing good in more and more ways. Mrs. Eddy also writes (Science and Health, p. 246),Chronological data are no part of the vast forever. Time-tables of birth and death are so many conspiracies against manhood and womanhood. Except for the error of measuring and limiting all that is good and beautiful, man would enjoy more than threescore years and ten and still maintain his vigor, freshness, and promise. Man, governed by immortal Mind, is always beautiful and grand. Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty, and holiness.
Life is eternal. We should find this out, and begin the demonstration thereof. Life and goodness are immortal. Let us then shape our views of existence into loveliness, freshness, and continuity, rather than into age and blight. And she adds a couple of pages later, "Men and women of riper years and larger lessons ought to ripen into health and immortality, instead of lapsing into darkness or gloom" (Science and Health, p. 248).
What's the basis for all this? Consider Christ Jesus' startling statement "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58). From a chronological perspective, Abraham had lived centuries before Jesus, but Jesus knew he had a spiritual life that was eternal, timeless, dateless. His spiritual nature had always existed. Each one of us has this eternal spiritual nature too. As the Bible puts it, "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. . . . Then I was by him, as one brought up with him . . ." (Prov. 8:22, 23, 30). We all have the same source, God—whom Jesus referred to not just as his Father but as "Our Father" (Matt. 6:9). God is Life itself, and each one of us reflects or expresses that Life that is God. God, Life, doesn't decline or get less useful, so we don't either. We don't need to give in to the notion that we can have a good life for only so many years. As Jesus also said, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). We all have abundant life, eternal life, and we can experience the benefits of that right here and now.
None of this, of course, is meant to suggest that material, biologically based life is the be-all and end-all of existence. It's not. In fact, it's not existence at all. As we have the humility to let God be expressed through us, we'll see more and more that material life isn't the reality it appears to be. We'll better grasp that matter and diminishment have no real hold on us. We'll find "wisdom, beauty, and holiness" and "health and immortality" rather than "age and blight" or "darkness or gloom." We'll find the life that is an expression of Life.
The best way to change retirement? Get rid of it and keep developing from a boundless basis.

Violence? Only a Suggestion.
Kenya . . . Pakistan . . . Darfur . . . Iraq . . . Israel and the Gaza Strip . . . Afghanistan . . . the list of places reports of violence are coming from is long enough that anyone can be excused for wondering how the mayhem can ever be stopped. But there is a way—a Christian, scientific way.
Anthology of Classic Articles, a book recently published by The Christian Science Publishing Society (buy the book; it's not the Bible or Science and Health, but it's really good), contains an article called "'As birds flying'" that includes this astounding statement:The sixth chapter of II Kings describes the manner in which Elisha the prophet handled the mesmeric suggestion of warfare which the king of Syria was trying to wage against the king of Israel. Did you catch that? ". . . Elisha the prophet handled the mesmeric suggestion of warfare . . . ." There's a war raging around him, yet to Elisha it's not real; it's only a suggestion! And it's a suggestion he chooses not to accept, not because he's an idiot blind to the reality around him but because he's a very intelligent guy very much aware of the spiritual reality which is actually all around and that has very definite effects on humanity. And it has effects in this instance, as another paragraph from the article explains:This is a clear example of the fact that the enemy is aggressive animal magnetism, or mesmerism, and not persons. Elisha did not hold it against the persons who were instruments of animal magnetism, nor did he try to make a treaty or carry on a truce with the error. He proved the power of God, Mind, and His ideas to be victorious over the arguments of the material senses and their mesmeric suggestions. The outcome of the whole situation was that "the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel." Elisha's scientific handling of error's claims made it impossible for them ever to return. Period. No more war. No more violence. Everybody home and happy and taking care of business. No prospect of violence returning. And all because somebody had the audacity to think that violence was only a suggestion rather than a reality and the spiritual and moral courage and conviction to declare God's perfect goodness.
This is the way Christian Science works. You don't—can't—scientifically heal disease by considering the disease real and then applying spiritual truths to counteract it. You have to realize that disease is unreal, simply a suggestion that no one has to accept. Then the spiritual truth—health—is seen in our lives.
But widespread violence, involving huge numbers of people and with effects paraded across our television screens and maybe outside our windows? Can that too possibly be only a suggestion? Can we grasp that all of it, in its totality, is entirely unreal?
Sound too tough for you? Figure you can't possibly get there? Well, you're right: it is too tough for you. But it's not too tough for God, and He's the one who does the work. Christ Jesus pointed this out repeatedly, saying things like "I can of mine own self do nothing" (John 5:30) and "the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works" (John 14:10). Jesus didn't have to make good true and evil (disease, violence, whatever) only a suggestion. God had already made good true and all, which precluded the possibility of evil, so all Jesus had to do was love God, his fellow man, and this truth enough to get human sense and its arguments out of the way and so see only what God sees: perfect goodness. It's what Moses had discovered earlier. If he viewed himself as a mortal, he was wholly inadequate to lead his people out of mental slavery, but when he realized that God is the I AM (see Ex. 3:14), that he didn't have to view himself as a mortal but actually could see his identity as based in God, could see himself as God's expression . . . well, that opened up all sorts of possibilities.
Those possibilities are open to all of us today too. Like Elisha, each one of us can completely defuse violence by realizing that it's only a suggestion and by letting our consciousness be what it in fact can only be: an expression of God, the divine Mind, Principle. As Mary Baker Eddy writes in Science and Health (p. 415), "Mind in every case is the eternal God, good." (That statement is quoted in "Healing the 'incurable,'" another fantastic article in Anthology of Classic Articles. Did I mention you should get that book?)
Have I proved all this entirely? Nope. But I try to honestly say more and more, and with more and more clarity, "Into thine hand I commit my spirit" (Ps. 31:5); that is, I try to get a presumed human self out of the way and be only God's expression, to express only God's goodness, intelligence, and love and to let nothing else into consciousness. As we summon the humility to give this our best shot, earnestly striving to do better and better, we won't get caught up in suggestive material circumstances or make a truce with them, but the day will come when "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Rev. 21:4).

Church Launches New Web Site
For the past 8 months or so, I've been involved in creating a new Web site for The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist. The site, christianscience.com, launched this past Wednesday. It replaces a placeholder site that had been online for about a year.
The site was established to provide a single entry point for all to use to find content relating to Christian Science, to provide readily accessible and accurate information about Christian Science online, and to put a human face on Christian Science by allowing visitors to see and hear the people who use Christian Science in their lives.
Among other features such as selected articles from the Christian Science periodicals and answers to frequently asked questions about Christian Science, the site also includes discussion forums. While they won't be used to discuss church issues, to proselytize, or to debate, the entire Christian Science community is invited to use them to help the general public get a better idea of what Christian Science is all about and the ways it helps people.
Further site development is being discussed and may include blog posts such as you're accustomed to reading on this site. There's a discussion forum for user feedback, so feel free to let us know what content you think would be helpful.
Enjoy the site.

Information at Our Fingertips
Global positioning systems (GPS) are getting more and more sophisticated. Once they offered only a route to a destination. Then they added the ability to store and play music and to display photographs. But now they're moving into information-overload territory, with some devices providing traffic updates and fuel prices and advertisements relevant to the area being traversed. Information about speed limits and road surfaces can be available too, and some units will even allow you to track someone else's whereabouts.
That can all be useful information (just don't lose the signal from the satellite), and few will argue against using it. Still, it's worth pointing out that we all have a direct connection to an information source that can provide all the guidance we need: God, the divine Mind. We can always turn to God to get whatever information we need—although the information we get may sometimes not be what we expected.
The Bible is full of accounts of people getting reliable information from God. Moses was on the road with the children of Israel when he came to the Red Sea. What would a GPS have provided? The phone number of the nearest bridge-building company? But Moses turned to God and discovered that he and his people could go right through the water—and they did, following a route no mapmaker could have provided. Later, still traveling, he turned to God to find water and food for the Hebrews where there appeared to be none.
Before all this Moses had discovered that God was the very source of his being—the I AM, as God put it (Ex. 3:14). He was inseparable from God as the expression of God. As an idea of God, the divine Mind, he had full access to that Mind and could never be cut off from it. Sure, a worldly view of things presented a much different picture, but Moses learned that he didn't have to be limited by worldly views. He could stick with one God, and he encouraged his whole nation to do this. And sticking with God, Mind, he had all the information he needed when he needed it. Would he have expected to walk through the Red Sea? Probably not. But once he got that directive from God, he knew it was reliable; he knew it was the way to go. And by following that route, the children of Israel escaped slavery in Egypt—escaped the mental slavery to material ways of doing things.
It might sound farfetched, but we can rely on God for all our information just as Moses did. God is the source of our being, the source of our identity and life, just as He was for Moses. Like Moses, each one of us is actually God's spiritual idea, fully expressing His intelligence. As we do our best to steadfastly understand our identity as God's expression, we'll find, as Moses and others have, that we have the information we need when we need it to do what has to be done. This requires great humility, of course; a material view of things screams that we're separate entities from God, that we have minds of our own and have to figure things out for ourselves, generally without much or even any help. But we can reject this material sense of things and instead see ourselves not as mortals fending for ourselves and just maybe getting things right but as immortals, expressing all of God's intelligence here and now. And this will have effects, just as it did for Moses.
In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy defines I AM as "God; incorporeal and eternal Mind; divine Principle; the only Ego" (p. 588), and she defines Mind as "The only I, or Us; . . . the one God . . . of whom man is the full and perfect expression; Deity, which outlines but is not outlined" (p. 591). Like Moses, other prophets, and most notably Christ Jesus, we can prove that this is the case—that our identity and life are at one with God, the supreme intelligence. Proceeding from this basis, we'll progressively understand that we always have all the information we need right at our fingertips because it's the substance we're made of. And we'll see this expressed humanly in ways that benefit all mankind.
