Day 254: Rarefaction

509:9-511:6

I had to look up rarefaction, first word I’ve looked up in a while for this journal. I wonder is it was in common use in Mary Baker Eddy’s day or just one of her words.

I found this interesting:

The periods of spiritual ascension are the days and seasons of Mind's creation, in which beauty, sublimity, purity, and holiness --yea, the divine nature--appear in man and the universe never to disappear.

I wondered if MBE was saying that our spiritual progress is found in days, seasons, – in our actual experience. She’s said something like this in different ways but the above quote was almost too beautiful and vague for me.
