In Science and Health, the author Mary Baker Eddy writes, “Life is eternal. We should find this out and begin the demonstration thereof. Life and goodness are immortal.” (p. 246)
Mary Baker Eddy was a spiritual metaphysician who taught and healed others through her system Christian Science. She explains this Science and how to heal in her main book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
The question I ask myself today is how do I begin the demonstration of “Life eternal”?
Considering that life is eternal – never dying or declining – has brought healing to me now. It has destroyed a fear of degradation and a decrease in activity and life.
There are many amazing stories of men and women who have peaked mountains, run marathons and other activities in their 80’s and 90’s.
The Monitor had an issue last year on “Centenarians” and all they were actively doing today and the mentality they attributed to their longevity.
It really proved, to me, to be a mental state that kept them healthy and active, fulfilled and satisfied in their “old age”. They didn’t accept the symptoms or label of “old age” as having power to control their experience.
Here is how the American baseball player, Satchel Paige, responded when people asked how he continued to successfully play when supposedly past his athletic prime: “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?”
The point is it’s never too soon to expect unchanging good – to expect to experience longevity and all faculties of the mind in perfect working order.
And it’s never to late to get up, rise up in consciousness and activity to embrace infinite good. All the good, vitality and energy you need are present right here, right now.
There are many people proving this is true and if it’s true for one, it’s true for all!
