Importance of Self-Knowledge

3/11/2020

“Any life, however long and complicated it may be, actually consists of a single moment; the moment when a person knows forever more who they are.”
----Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), Argentine author 


"The new birth is not the work of a moment. It begins with moments, and goes on with years; moments of surrender to God, of childlike trust and joyful adoption of good; moments of self-abnegation, self-consecration, heaven-born hope, and spiritual love. 

Time may commence, but it cannot complete, the new birth: eternity does this; for progress is the law of infinity."

-Mary Baker Eddy
(Mis. 15:13–20)


"Anatomy, when conceived of spiritually, is mental self-knowledge, and consists in the dissection of thoughts to discover their quality, quantity, and origin. Are thoughts divine or human? That is the important question."
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy
(SH 462:20–24)

"He who gains self-knowledge, self-control, and the kingdom of heaven within himself, within his own consciousness, is saved through Christ, Truth."
-Mary Baker Eddy
(My. 161:14–16)

"And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel."

(Luke 1:76–80)

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Eph 5:1-2
Eph 5:8

The good shepherd.

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:7-11

I love this beautiful prose by Mary Baker Eddy, in her textbook Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures.

I saw before me the awful conflict, the Red Sea and the wilderness; but I pressed on through faith in God, trusting Truth, the strong deliverer, to guide me into the land of Christian Science, where fetters fall and the rights of man are fully known and acknowledged.SH 226:29

We must look deep into realism instead of accepting only the outward sense of things.

Autumn
by Mary Baker Eddy

Written in childhood, in a maple grove

Quickly earth’s jewels disappear;
The turf, whereon I tread,
Ere autumn blanch another year,
May rest above my head.
The wild winds mutter, howl, and moan,
To scare my woodland walk,

And frightened fancy flees, to roam
Where ghosts and goblins stalk.
My heart unbidden joins rehearse;
I hope it’s better made,
When mingling with the universe,
Beneath the maple’s shade.

Christ My Refuge
O’er waiting harpstrings of the mind
There sweeps a strain,
Low, sad, and sweet, whose measures bind
The power of pain,

And wake a white-winged angel throng
Of thoughts, illumed
By faith, and breathed in raptured song,
With love perfumed.

Then His unveiled, sweet mercies show
Life’s burdens light.

Mis. 395:14-397:20

SH 45:16
Glory be to God, and peace to the struggling hearts! Christ hath rolled away the stone from the door of human hope and faith, and through the revelation and demonstration of life in God, hath elevated them to possible at-one-ment with the spiritual idea of man and his divine Principle, Love.

    Daily Bread is a small bite of inspiration for today.  

    Give us this day our daily bread;
    Give us grace for today; feed the famished affections;


    “To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings.”
    - Mary Baker Eddy
