Soul FullnessMary Baker Eddy defines the word "in" this way: "IN. A term obsolete in Science if used with reference to Spirit, or Deity.' (SH588:22) There is no Soul in or Soul and. Soul is ever-presence, all-substance, the only existence. All I can be is Soul's expression, reflection, image, and likeness. Soul is all. Soul and man are cause and effect; and there is no other effect. I cannot see anything except Soul expressed
because I am Soul expressed -- God and man, face to face. To
see Soul is to see myself. There is no "other" seeing,
no Soul and matter. So-called material forms merely present external
visual outlines of our internal beliefs and convictions. We cannot
adopt our human parents' views of us -- inherited traits, passions,
and terminal fears -- because Soul made me perfect, infinite,
complete, understanding before the world was. I am not limited
to three dimensions, not confined by space and time. I cannot
be replicated or duplicated. I am original, ever-created including
all right ideas. There is no transition from sense to Soul, no
future to anticipate, no better place or condition. There is
no lesser than, no mistake, no lower form of man, and no babe.
These are only illusions, and illusions are impossible. I am
not part Soul. I am all Soul. |
