SUBSTANCE

supply:

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

--The Bible, I Corinthians 2:12—

“… under the deific law … supply invariably meets demand …”

--Mary Baker Eddy,

Miscellaneous Writings, Question and Answers, p. 45-- 

One way to see it -- supply is there always, and that’s why we have a need for it.

With our spiritual moving forward our horizon is constantly expanding as we advance.  --Eva-Maria--

“Particularly in this era … wealth consists not of things but of thoughts.  The entrepreneur does not find values in a new product or a pool of oil or computer design.  He brings value to what was previously seen as worthless.  And this value springs from his own value: his courage, integrity, diligence, and faith … More than ever before in history, wealth is metaphysical rather than material … the world opens its portals, slough of limits and boundaries … with ever-widening spirals of possibilities.”

--George Gilders, The Soul of Silicon--

“The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, 

but to reveal to him his own.” 

--Benjamin Disraeli--

“Foolish is the mind of man to make bogeys for itself and to live in terror of fear for things which lack the substance of truth.

I must think, and then speak.  I must consider what is to be done and then choose my time to do it.  Think.  Watch. Think again.   And then one step at a time to put things right.  As a mason puts one block at a time.  To build solid and good.  

So with thought.  Think.  Build one thought at a time.  Think solid.  Then act.”

--By Richard Llewellyn, How Green Was My Valley,

pages 117 & 120—

“Try to care for what is best in thought and action – something that is good apart from the accident of your own lot.

“Is there any single occupation of mind that you care about with passionate delight or even independent interest?

“What sort of earth or heaven would hold

any spiritual wealth in it for souls pauperized by inaction?

“… but for us who have to struggle for our wisdom, the higher life must be a region in which the affections are clad with knowledge. …Nothing is feebler than the indolent rebellion of complaint; and to be roused into self-judgment is comparative activity.”

--George Eliot, passages from Daniel Deronda, pages 395, 399, 400--

“Mortals suppose that they can live without goodness, when God is good and the only real Life.” 

--Science and Health, chapter Science of Being, p. 328--

“Man is not God, and God is not man.

“Man is idea, the image of Love; … He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas; the generic term for all that reflects God’s image and likeness; the conscious identity of being as found in Science, in which man is the reflection of God, or Mind … .” (See the Bible, Gen. 1:26.)

--Science and Health, p. 480 & 475--

"The following are some of the equivalents of the term man in different languages.  In the Saxon, mankind, a woman, any one; in the Welsh, that which rises up,--the primary sense being image, form; in the Hebrew, image, similitude; in the Icelandic, mind.  The following translation is from the Icelandic:-- And God said, Let us make man after our mind and our likeness; and God shaped man after his mind; after God's mind shaped He him; and He shaped them male and female.

In the Gospel of John, it is declared that all things were made through the Word of God, 'and within Him [the logos, or word] was not anything made that was made.'  Everything good or worthy, God made."

--Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health, p. 525--
