KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

In I Kings 8:27 we find this question "will God indeed dwell on the earth?" Christian Science teaches us that Soul does not dwell in sense, Mind in brain, or Life in matter. The verse continues with this answer "behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee;" This heaven referred to as the heaven of heavens is rebuking the material universe as a habitation for infinite Mind, God. All that the eye can see and the brain can imagine, as material existence cannot encapsulate infinity.

Compare that to the heaven that Jesus referred to in Luke 17:21 "The kingdom of God is within you." As thinking that limits us to a dependency on a material body or brain as the manifestation of Life and Mind melts away, we glimpse the reality that man is wholly spiritual, and abides in Soul instead of in matter.
