In today's two
pages, Mary Baker Eddy discusses how spirits, ghosts don't prove immortality
while that seems to be what spirit-communications is tried to do.
I underlined two
things:
"Life,
Love, Truth, is the only proof of immortality."
"In
Science, man's immortality depends upon that of God, good, and follows as a
necessary consequence of the immortality of good."
Popular Christian
religions have this idea that you must behave in this life in order to get to
heaven. This always seemed like the carrot in front of the horse. It didn't
feel right nor did it seem particularly effective at making people behave.
The eastern
religions focus on the now and skip the idea of later.
Christian Science
says, in some ways, now and later are the same thing.
Today's goal: look
for immortality of good.
Results from
yesterday: In the morning sometime, just when things were falling apart with
the kids' behavior, I tried to remember what I was supposed to work on. I
realized if I couldn't remember it, I couldn't work on it in thought. It was
nice that I had that direct correlation so I could bring my own thought back to
where I wanted it. It took me a few minutes to remember and the by then the
situation had resolved. That wasn't a coincidence but an expected result.
