God, who made all that was made and could not create an atom or an element the opposite of Himself
Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded

Day 290: Glossary Gems
Thursday, August 4, 2011
Day 216: Ignorance of God
Man's individual being can no more die nor disappear in unconsciousness than can Soul, for both are immortal. If man believes in death now, he must disbelieve in it when learning that there is no reality in death, since the truth of being is deathless. The belief that existence is contingent on matter must be met and mastered by Science, before Life can be understood and harmony obtained.
The great difficulty lies in ignorance of what God is. God, Life, Truth, and Love make man undying. Immortal Mind, governing all, must be acknowledged as supreme in the physical realm, so-called, as well as in the spiritual.

Day 183: Advancement
Spiritual ideas unfold as we advance. A human perception of divine Science, however limited, must be correct in order to be Science and subject to demonstration.

Day 179: Personal Devil
We cannot bring out the practical proof of Christianity, which Jesus required, while error seems as potent and real to us as Truth, and while we make a personal devil and an anthropomorphic God our starting-points,--especially if we consider Satan as a being coequal in power with Deity, if not superior to Him. Because such starting-points are neither spiritual nor scientific, they cannot work out the Spirit-rule of Christian healing, which proves the nothingness of error, discord, by demonstrating the all-inclusiveness of harmonious Truth.

Day 178: Faith Healing (Faith + Healing)
When we lose faith in God's power to heal, we distrust the divine Principle which demonstrates Christian Science, and then we cannot heal the sick. Neither can we heal through the help of Spirit, if we plant ourselves on a material basis.

Day 177: Not Power but God
I desire to have no faith in evil or in any power but God, good.
Two essential points of Christian Science are, that neither Life nor man dies, and that God is not the author of sickness.

Day 169: Interesting Words
The use of shadow and self-existence in the quotes below grabbed me and started working out thought images.
God is divine Life, and Life is no more confined to the forms which reflect it than substance is in its shadow.
He is divine Principle, Love, the universal cause, the only creator, and there is no other self-existence.

Day 163: God is Love
we can by special and proper capitalization speak of the love of Love, meaning by that what the beloved disciple meant in one of his epistles, when he said, "God is love."

Day 161: Jesus & the Jews
[the Jews’] material views were the parents of their wicked deeds
He knew of but one Mind and laid no claim to any other. He knew that the Ego was Mind instead of body and that matter, sin, and evil were not Mind;

Day 160: God is not in a pill
A personal sense of God and of man's capabilities necessarily limits faith and hinders spiritual understanding. It divides faith and understanding between matter and Spirit, the finite and the infinite, and so turns away from the intelligent and divine healing Principle to the inanimate drug.

Day 158: Going Astray
If these children should go astray, and forget that Life is God, good, and that good is not in elements which are not spiritual,--thus losing the divine power which heals the sick and sinning,--they were to be brought back through great tribulation, to be renamed in Christian Science and led to deny material sense, or mind in matter, even as the gospel teaches.

Day 157: Man’s province
man cannot be separated for an instant from God, if man reflects God.
Evil still affirms itself to be mind, and declares that there is more than one intelligence or God.
Man was not created from a material basis, nor bidden to obey material laws which Spirit never made; his province is in spiritual statutes, in the higher law of Mind.

Day 155: Definition of Man, cont’d
Continuing our definition of man, let us remember that harmonious and immortal man has existed forever, and is always beyond and above the mortal illusion of any life, substance, and intelligence as existent in matter. This statement is based on fact, not fable. The Science of being reveals man as perfect, even as the Father is perfect, because the Soul, or Mind, of the spiritual man is God, the divine Principle of all being, and because this real man is governed by Soul instead of sense, by the law of Spirit, not by the so-called laws of matter.
Spiritual man is the image or idea of God, an idea which cannot be lost nor separated from its divine Principle.

Day 154: God is Seen
The universe reflects and expresses the divine substance or Mind; therefore God is seen only in the spiritual universe and spiritual man, as the sun is seen in the ray of light which goes out from it. God is revealed only in that which reflects Life, Truth, Love,-- yea, which manifests God's attributes and power, even as the human likeness thrown upon the mirror, repeats the color, form, and action of the person in front of the mirror.

Day 142: Foundation of Fellowship
When the divine precepts are understood, they unfold the foundation of fellowship, in which one mind is not at war with another, but all have one Spirit, God, one intelligent source, in accordance with the Scriptural command: "Let this Mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
The realization that all inharmony is unreal brings objects and thoughts into human view in their true light, and presents them as beautiful and immortal

Day 141: Begin with God
The starting-point of divine Science is that God, Spirit, is All-in-all, and that there is no other might nor Mind,--that God is Love, and therefore He is divine Principle.
All substance, intelligence, wisdom, being, immortality, cause, and effect belong to God. These are His attributes, the eternal manifestations of the infinite divine Principle, Love. No wisdom is wise but His wisdom; no truth is true, no love is lovely, no life is Life but the divine; no good is, but the good God bestows.

Day 134: To begin rightly is to end rightly
Divine Mind is the only cause or Principle of existence.
Detach sense from the body, or matter, which is only a form of human belief, and you may learn the meaning of God, or good, and the nature of the immutable and immortal. Breaking away from the mutations of time and sense, you will neither lose the solid objects and ends of life nor your own identity. Fixing your gaze on the realities supernal, you will rise to the spiritual consciousness of being
[Man] will then drop the false estimate of life and happiness, of joy and sorrow, and attain the bliss of loving unselfishly, working patiently, and conquering all that is unlike God.

Day 132: God & Man
Mind creates His own likeness in ideas, and the substance of an idea is very far from being the supposed substance of non-intelligent matter.
God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis.
The infinite Principle is reflected by the infinite idea and spiritual individuality
Man is not absorbed in Deity, and man cannot lose his individuality, for he reflects eternal Life; nor is he an isolated, solitary idea, for he represents infinite Mind, the sum of all substance.

Day 94: Government & Belief
When man is governed by God, the ever-present Mind who understands all things, man knows that with God all things are possible.
Matter, which can neither suffer nor enjoy, has no partnership with pain and pleasure, but mortal belief has such a partnership.
