“…. Therefore, man is not material, he is spiritual.” So concludes Mary Baker Eddy’s scientific statement of being. And to me this explains the paradigm shift going on today.
There seems to be a shift going on in science (example: notes on quantum physics), in theology (example: see Phyllis Tickle’s book The Great Emergence) and in medicine (example: see Dr. Larry Dossey’s work). The number of books and studies that point to this shift can be mind-boggling. I would LOVE to hear of other books and articles that you are all reading and if you are finding this transformational shift going on as well.
Recently, I went to a professional conference on Christian Science healing ( aka Christian Science Association) which renewed and deepened my understanding of Mary Baker Eddy’s discovery of Christian Science as a “revolutionary science”.
Revolutionary science was explained in the context of yet another book on my list of must reads – Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (also see an outline and study guide for your own personal use).
A revolutionary science is a bold replacement of an old paradigm of thought with a new one – providing a new way that challenges long held assumptions. It totally changes the way a person sees the world. Is this not Christian Science?
The nature of spirit and matter, mankind’s inherent search for meaning and sustainable health and well-being are shifting to a more practical and primitive spiritual basis. And we are right in the middle of it! What a ride.

Another approach to revolution is "The gentle art of blessing." I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list. What's revolutionary is that blessing everyone without preconditions, is considered contrary to human nature.
btw, your white background is friendly to the eyes.
