SECTION 6: Excerpt from “Pecking Open our shells”
Section from “Pecking Open our Shells”(Jack Geis – a Christian Scientist)
Few people today realize how much Albert Einstein studied S&H with Key to the Scriptures, supported its conclusions and admired its author, Mary Baker Eddy. Dr. Einstein was known to visit Christian Science churches and Reading Rooms in the New York and New Jersey areas.
His high regard for Science & Health was reflected in the following two statements.
'Science and Health is beyond this generation's understanding. It is the pure science. And, to think that a woman knew this over eighty years ago!'"
'If everyone realized what is in that book (meaning Science and Health), you would not have enough room anywhere to accommodate the people who would be clamoring for it.'" (Reminiscences of Elizabeth Earl Jones, from The Healer: The Healing Work of Mary Baker Eddy, p.189. )
Einstein glimpsed the absolute infinity of divine Mind and man’s relationship to this Mind outside the shell of materiality.
Mrs. Eddy also makes this profound statement,
258:11 Man reflects infinity, and this reflection is the true idea of God.
Is this statement true for you right this moment and for all eternity? Are you reflecting infinity in your daily life? Or does there seem to be an arc to your life where you think you have reached your pinnacle or summit, and are now on the downward slide?
Mrs. Eddy also writes
258:13-15
God expresses in man the infinite idea forever developing itself, broadening and rising higher and higher from a boundless basis.
Forever means without interruption; eternally. If God is expressing in you the infinite idea, forever developing itself, what does this mean for you? Is there ever a moment when could be in decline?
Is it ever too late for us? Do you ever feel like life has passed you by? Remember Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 when they bore Isaac, and Moses did not even begin his main career until he was 80 years old. For the last 40 years of his life, he led the Children of Israel out of bondage. We put limits on ourselves when we say or think that ‘we are too old to do anything.’
Infinity has a wonderful definition and we need to affirm and acknowledge in our daily work that we do reflect infinity every day, every moment. Infinity means limitless, no bounds, inexhaustible, unending, immense, astronomical, without limit or number. We can put the word infinite and its definitions in front of anything we think might be needful in our experience. Infinite ability and capacity, inexhaustible energy and supply, unlimited health, uninterrupted Love.
On pages 256-258, Mrs. Eddy uses the word infinity 17 times, and it is used overall in her writings over 500 times, which gives us an inkling of how important this concept it to our spiritual growth
