Quote from MBE on seven synonyms:
Synonyms: “Mrs. Eddy told one of her classes in 1888, referring to the synonyms upon these terms for God rests the basis of the Science, in fact, they are the science.” Then she went on to say, “When the magnitude of the infinite began to dawn upon her she could not see how God could know Himself. She said, she would have to wait and could not go on further, then one of the terms for God would come to her and she could go on, and so she knew that every term was given through inspiration.” (Mrs. Bogue’s memoirs)
