Today’s readings continue the idea of a currently unknowable infinity:
Human language can repeat only an infinitesimal part of what exists.
The numerals of infinity, called seven days, can never be reckoned according to the calendar of time. These days will appear as mortality disappears, and they will reveal eternity, newness of Life, in which all sense of error forever disappears and thought accepts the divine infinite calculus.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea that there is so much to God and spirituality, that I won’t grasp it all. In so many ways, that’s not what organized religion is about: explaining Life. To tell the reader there is just too much for you to get at this time (that’s what I fell Mary Baker Eddy is saying), is realistic and pragmatic. It also puts the wonder back in the moment of reading Genesis.
