Where did it begin this idea called you? In Genesis 1, Or Genesis 2? – Poem The Dreamer (Genesis 1 or Genesis 2) by J. Woodruff Smith. Come join us for Church this morning to hear our Sunday lesson titled Adam and Fallen man.

November 10th, 2024

Adam and Fallen Man Lesson for this Sunday is printed below

The Dreamer

Where did it begin
This idea called you?
In Genesis 1,
Or Genesis 2?

Which one of these concepts
Will prove to be true?
If you know what is what,
Do you know who is who?
In Genesis 1 in the 26th verse
There’s a man with never a taint of a curse.
But in Genesis 2 in verse number seven
There’s a dust man conceived…
He’ll never see heaven.

So it really comes down
To which one you will claim,
What thou see’st thou be’st…
So what is your name?

There they both stand.
Which one is you?
Is it immortal man one,
Or mortal man two?
If you’re immortal man
You know what you’re worth.
For according to law
You’ll inherit the earth.
But if you’re just a mortal
And made out of dust…
Is there anything to you
That’s worthy of trust?
No, the thing they call man
In Genesis 2
Is the dream of the dreamer.
It never was you.
So know what you are.
Take your place in the sun,
You’re the immortal man
Of Genesis 1.

Adam and Fallen Man

GOLDEN TEXT

Psalms 37:37

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

RESPONSIVE READING

Isaiah 43:1 now, 6, 7, 10, 21; Psalms 100:1–5; 67:5

Isa. 43:1 . . . now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

6 I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and

understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

21 This people have I formed for my‐ self; they shall shew forth my praise.

Ps. 100:1 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we our‐ selves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiv‐ ing, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is ev‐ erlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

67:5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over ev‐ ery creeping thing that creepeth upon theearth. 27SoGodcreatedmaninhis own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

1 | 339:8–9
God, Spirit, alone created all, and

called it good.

2 | 356:24–25, 30 (only, to .)

Does God create a material man out of Himself, Spirit? Does evil proceed from good?

Does subsequent follow its an‐ tecedent? It does.

3 | 306:30
God’s man, spiritually created, is not

material and mortal.

4 | 475:7
The Scriptures inform

Fleshly factors unreal

us that man is made in the
image and likeness of God. Matter is not that likeness. The likeness of Spirit cannot be so unlike Spirit. Man is spiritual and perfect; and because he is spiritual and perfect, he must be so understood in Christian Science. Man is idea, the image, of Love; he is not physique. 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, and therefore is eternal; that which has no separate mind from God; that which has not a single quality underived from Deity; that which possesses no life, intelligence, nor creative power of his own, but reflects spiritually all that be‐ longs to his Maker.

SECTION 2 The Bible

3 | Genesis 2:1, 6–8, 21, 22

1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7AndtheLordGodformedman of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the fleshinsteadthereof; 22Andtherib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

5 | 519:7–16
Genesis ii. 1. Thus the heavens and the earth

were finished, and all the host of them.

Thus the ideas of God in Infinity universal being are complete measureless and forever expressed, for Science reveals infinity and the fatherhood and mother‐ hood of Love. Human capacity is slow to discern and to grasp God’s creation and the divine power and presence which go with it, demonstrating its spiritual origin. Mortals can never know the infinite, until they throw off the old man and reach the spiritual image and likeness.

6 | 523:14

It may be worth while
here to remark that, according
to the best scholars, there are clear evi‐ dences of two distinct documents in the early part of the book of Genesis. One is called the Elohistic, because the Supreme

Being is therein called Elohim. The other document is called the Jehovistic, be‐ cause Deity therein is always called Jeho‐ vah, — or Lord God, as our common ver‐ sion translates it.

of error

Distinct documents

the divine creation have been
presented in the verses already consid‐ ered, and now the opposite error, a mate‐ rial view of creation, is to be set forth. The second chapter of Genesis contains a statement of this material view of God and the universe, a statement which is the exact opposite of scientific truth as before recorded.

8 | 522:3

The Science of the first
record proves the falsity of
the second. If one is true, the other is false, for they are antagonistic. The first record assigns all might and government to God, and endows man out of God’s perfection and power. The second record chronicles man as mutable and mortal, — as having broken away from Deity and as revolving in an orbit of his own. Existence, separate from divinity, Science explains as impossible.

The two records

November 4–10, 2024

Adam and Fallen Man

9 | 556:17–20 (to 1st .)

Did the origin and the enlightenment of the race come from the deep sleep which fell upon Adam? Sleep is darkness, but God’s creative mandate was, “Let there be light.”

10 | 249:5 (only)
Let the “male and female” of God’s

creating appear.

SECTION 3 The Bible

4 | Genesis 3:1–6, 13, 17

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eatofeverytreeofthegarden? 2Andthe woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lestyedie. 4Andtheserpentsaidunto thewoman,Yeshallnotsurelydie: 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good andevil. 6Andwhenthewomansaw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of

the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent be‐ guiled me, and I did eat.

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

5 | Jeremiah 17:7, 8

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

treasures of Truth and Love are enlarged. Mortals must gravitate Godward, their af‐ fections and aims grow spiritual, — they must near the broader interpretations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infinite, — in order that sin and mortality may be put off.

This scientific sense of being, forsaking matter for Spirit, by no means suggests man’s absorption into Deity and the loss of his identity, but confers upon man en‐ larged individuality, a wider sphere of thought and action, a more expansive love, a higher and more permanent peace.

SECTION 4 The Bible

Whence comes a talking,
lying serpent to tempt the
children of divine Love? The serpent en‐ ters into the metaphor only as evil. We have nothing in the animal kingdom which represents the species described, — a talking serpent, — and should rejoice that evil, by whatever figure presented, contradicts itself and has neither origin nor support in Truth and good.

12 | 216:18

The great mistake of mortals is to sup‐ pose that man, God’s image and likeness, is both matter and Spirit, both good and evil.

13 | 285:7

and dies? It is not man, the image and likeness of God, but man’s counterfeit, the inverted likeness, the unlikeness called sin, sickness, and death. The unre‐ ality of the claim that a mortal is the true image of God is illustrated by the oppo‐ site natures of Spirit and matter, Mind and body, for one is intelligence while the other is non-intelligence.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child oftheHolyGhost. 19ThenJosephher husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was mind‐ edtoputherawayprivily. 20Butwhilehe thought on these things, behold, the an‐ gel of the Lord appeared unto him in
a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is oftheHolyGhost. 21Andsheshallbring

Dear reader, which
mind-picture or externalized
thought shall be real to you, — the materi‐ al or the spiritual? Both you cannot have. You are bringing out your own ideal. This ideal is either temporal or eternal. Either Spirit or matter is your model. If you try to have two models, then you practically have none. Like a pendulum in a clock, you will be thrown back and forth, striking the ribs of matter and swinging between the real and the unreal.

17 | 259:6

In divine Science, man is the true im‐ age of God. The divine nature was best expressed in Christ Jesus, who threw upon mortals the truer reflection of God and lifted their lives higher than their poor thought-models would allow, — thoughts which presented man as fallen, sick, sinning, and dying. The Christlike un‐ derstanding of scientific being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea, — perfect God and perfect man, — as the basis of thought and demonstra‐ tion.

Christian era, the Christ, as the spiritual idea, — the reflection of God, — has come with some measure of power and grace to all prepared to receive Christ, Truth.

SECTION 5 The Bible

12 | Acts 10:38 God

38 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

13 | Luke 13:11–17

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could innowiseliftupherself. 12AndwhenJe‐ sus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thineinfirmity. 13Andhelaidhishands on her: and immediately she was made straight,andglorifiedGod. 14Andthe ruler of the synagogue answered with in‐ dignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath

day. 15TheLordthenansweredhim,and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 16Andoughtnotthiswoman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Sa‐ tan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? 17Andwhenhehadsaidthese things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glo‐ rious things that were done by him.

Science and Health

19 | 482:19–23

Jesus was the highest human concept of the perfect man. He was inseparable from Christ, the Messiah, — the divine idea of God outside the flesh. This en‐ abled Jesus to demonstrate his control over matter.

20 | 476:32–5

Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God’s own likeness, and this correct view of man healed the sick. Thus Jesus taught that the kingdom of God is intact, universal, and that man is pure and holy.

SECTION 6 The Bible

14 | Psalms 4:6 Lord
6 Lord, lift thou up the light of thy

countenance upon us.

15 | Psalms 17:6 (to :), 15

6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:

15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

16 | I Corinthians 15:22, 48, 49
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in

Christ shall all be made alive.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also

that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

17| IJohn3:2,3

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall seehimasheis. 3Andeverymanthat hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Science and Health

22 | 90:24–25

The admission to one’s self that man is God’s own likeness sets man free to mas‐ ter the infinite idea.

23 | 476:17–22

Mortality is finally swallowed up in im‐ mortality. Sin, sickness, and death must disappear to give place to the facts which belong to immortal man.

Learn this, O mortal, and earnestly seek the spiritual status of man, which is outside of all material selfhood.

24 | 407:24

The Trust Factor: From America to the Middle East – Take some time to watch all or just a part of this Monitor presentation. It is important more now than ever that we learn to trust each other.

November 7th, 2024

Successful businesses and nations have a high trust factor of each other. Something we are rapidly loosing in this country. We can gain it back if we are willing to look differently at each other and it can start very simply with the smile of a little boy. Here is a recount from a distraught mom after election day.

You know.. I was having a really hard time this morning. But then I took Max out to run some errands. His friendly manner made probably 7 different people smile this morning. People that didn’t seem like they had much to smile about. I then had friendly exchanges with all those folks too.
I realize it’s more important now than ever for us to pull together. Help each other maintain the light and the joy that is this human experience.
I’m nervous for sure. But we all have jobs to do. I was reminded of mine this morning. I hope you all find solace in yourselves, your capacity to show up for others and in your community today.
I love you all dearly and I am remaining ever hopeful for a brighter future.

The motto of the Christian Science Monitor is: “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind

On June 27, The Christian Science Monitor’s editor, Mark Sappenfield, sat down with the former editor of the Monitor, Marshall Ingwerson, Monitor West Coast bureau chief, Francine Kiefer, and Monitor Middle East correspondent, Taylor Luck, for an in-person event called, “The Trust Factor: From America to the Middle East” in Newport Beach, California.

The panel of Monitor editors and reporters discussed topics including, what role trust plays in the media and politics and how the Monitor builds trust with its readers.

This event was sponsored by Christian Science Reading Room, 2436 West Coast Hwy, Ste. 105, Newport Beach.

Over the Christian Science Monitor’s 110-year history, we’ve built a legacy of high-quality, distinctive journalism because we recognize that news is more than facts. It’s the story of how we are each trying to make our homes, communities, and nations better. What matters are the values and ideals that drive us, not just the who, what, when, and where of the news. Visit us online at: http://www.csmonitor.com/daily

You are also invited to join us for our Sunday church service at the Reading Room in person or on zoom Sunday morning at 10 am PT. To let us know you are coming, please email us at christiansciencenote@gmail.com and we can send a link to our meeting. After church we have an open discussion about the week’s Bible lesson and/or testimonies of healing and comments and questions about Christian Science. *Please note: we do not have church during the Street Fair, but we do have the Mother Church service playing on the computer in our quiet study room.

We will have a treasure hunt called “The God’s name game” in our Garden where the kids search for the seven synonyms for God. In our textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy she defines God in the glossary as:

God. The great I AM; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence.

So we place the names: Principle; Mind; Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love around the garden to be found by the seekers. Come by and join the fun and win a prize .

Click below to download a PDF of the game.

Gods Name Game

This game is based on ideas taught in a Christian Science Sunday school. For more information about a Sunday School click Here .

Be a part of this exciting event by sponsoring the kids. Our goal is to collect enough donations to give out a shirt to every youth who participates.

At these Street Fairs we have had over 600 people come through our garden and into our Reading Room made up of children and adults chaperoning the children and individuals without children and many with dogs. After the children fill out the God’s Name Game card with the synonyms for God they turn it into the Reading Room to win a prize. If they take the T shirt challenge and can memorize all seven synonyms, they will get the free T-shirt as a prize. So please support this great CS Sunday school activity and outreach to our community with the “power of Truth” and the “worthiness of Love”.

Please email or call if you can help with any time to give and/or if you would like to do a sponsorship Click here.

you are invited to “The Garden of the Great Spirit” on Oct 31st

October 25th, 2024

Please join us this year at the Christian Science Society of Encinitas Reading Room on Halloween night for a walk through the “Garden of the great Spirit”

You are welcome to volunteer, also.

October the 31st can conjure up many images and emotions, but we take this opportunity to reach out to the community and to bless all who attend. Each year this event has had a very large attendance. Both new and repeat guests are delighted to be greeted by friendly faces and big smiles as they make their way through the decorated garden. There are inspirational signs about Spirit that are shared by costumed greeters. One such visitor approached to say,

“I really feel the Spirt here. I realize I don’t have to be afraid.” For many, it may be their first introduction to know God as Spirit, and for others it may just be a peaceful respite from what can be a frightening evening, but everyone that comes through expresses gratitude either by word or smile. Some stop to ask questions about Christian Science, some take literature, but most of all we share messages of spiritual understanding and also a little fun and a sweet treat. Come and experience it for yourself this Halloween, as our Reading Room lifts everyone to a higher view as we welcome all to the Garden of the Great Spirit once again.

Please come and join us and be a part of blessing this great community.

Don’t forget your costume.🎃

Also, put Sunday, November 24th on your calendar this year to come to the Reading Room to volunteer, participate, or just take in the vibe of the day at your local community Christian Science Reading Room as it opens up for the day during the Encinitas Street fair. When you come, you will find that we are not just passive observers of the event, but instead an active focal point where we interact with the fair goers as they flood through our gate and into the garden to play the God’s name game.
Over the years we have become one of the fair’s most popular events with hundreds of kids and their parents in tow entering the Reading Room garden to play this game and have a day of Christian Science Sunday school learning the 7 synonyms of God as expressed in the Christian Science text book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

Please come and be a part of this community event. If for some reason you can not attend but would like to support our event, you may do so by sponsoring 10 kids with their T-shirt prize that they receive after completing the game. The cost for a sponsorship is $100 for 10 kid’s, or however more or less you want to sponsor as the Spirit moves you. To donate please click here.

Spread the word and please let us know anyone who would like to help out. You are always invited to join us for our Sunday church service at the Reading Room in person or on zoom Sunday morning at 10 am PT. To let us know you are coming, please email us at christiansciencenote@gmail.com and we can help you find the link to our meeting. After church we have an open discussion about the week’s Bible lesson and/or testimonies of healing and comments and questions about Christian Science. *Please note: we do not have church during the Street Fair, but we do have the Mother Church service playing on the computer in our quiet study room.

Health and wellness expo lecture with Melanie Wahlberg, CS. held at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center

March 12th, 2024

On Saturday, February 10, we participated in the Encinitas Health and Wellness Expo held at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center.

Several groups of healing artists shared their ideas and learned about one another through booths set up around the venue! Even though we had a booth set in

the back corner

of the large hall, most participants still stopped to visit, learned more about Christian Science, watched a powerpoint presentation (in two

locations of the building) and could receive a coupon to attend a talk by our lecturer, Melanie Wahlberg, CS.

The lecture was held at two different times of the day. More

than 40 participants enjoyed Melanie’s talk followed by a question and answer period. They also received a free Science and Health and enjoyed a light lunch.

Many of our group participated and truly worked together for the success of this event. We received lots of positive feedback and some very deep conversations with event participants.

It was really a great day!

Melanie Wahlberg, CS – Q and A with a Practitioner of Christian Science “how spiritual ideas work in us” Presenting at the Health and Wellness Expo between 10 and 2 February 10, 2024 at the Encinitas community center

February 3rd, 2024

Simple ideas, about God’s nature and about our nature as expressions of God, stir something new in our consciousness. They work in us in ways that change our lives and our health for the better. But how do we find these healing ideas consistently? We’ll look at the teachings of Christ Jesus, our best and most practical example. And I’ll share how this approach has transformed lives, including a mother and her infant daughter who each experienced healing. With ideas from God working on our behalf this way, we discover that we’re never truly alone.

Presentation Times: 11:30 and Again at 1:00 2/10/2024

Location: Health and Wellness Expo at the Encinitas Community center.

Address: 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr, Encinitas, CA 92024. Direction

About Melanie Wahlberg, CS

Two influences that Melanie will never forget were the Christian Science Sunday School and a mom who turned to prayer and encouraged her to do the same. These influences showed her something of the reliability of God and spiritual inspiration, and trusting this helped her find her way growing up. Significant healing experiences with relationship and food issues, and violence in the community, were also unforgettable. From this, Melanie got an idea of the many ways that Christian Science can transform lives.

After finishing a doctorate in mathematics, Melanie became a college professor and truly enjoyed teaching. She found that teaching was less about telling students something than facilitating the students’ discoveries of new concepts. There was nothing better than witnessing a reluctant student realize that a previously mystifying concept was actually within reach to anyone.

But the higher promise of Christian Science beckoned her to help people redeem and uplift their lives in a fuller way. When students came to her office for help with calculus, Melanie and her students often found themselves talking about the joy and excitement of growing spirituality. After just two years at the college, Melanie resigned from her position and began accepting calls as a Christian Science practitioner. She wrote articles for the Christian Science periodicals, was a frequent guest on Sentinel radio, and began advertising her practice in The Christian Science Journal in 2004. She and her husband also started a family.

Melanie loves working from her home office in the Los Angeles area. She likes to see lives transformed by the healing ideas of Christian Science, where we ourselves are helped and, at the same time, find we can help others. Her life as a mom has a lot of the same focus. And whether the spiritual ideas apply to health issues, school, social lives, or sports, her three kids push her to “keep it real.”

The Dreamer

Where did it begin This idea called you? In Genesis 1, Or Genesis 2?

Which one of these concepts Will prove to be true? If you know what is what, Do you know who is who? In Genesis 1 in the 26th verse There’s a man with never a taint of a curse. But in Genesis 2 in verse number seven There’s a dust man conceived… He’ll never see heaven.

So it really comes down To which one you will claim, What thou see’st thou be’st… So what is your name?

This idea called you?
In Genesis 1,
Or Genesis 2?

Which one of these concepts
Will prove to be true?
If you know what is what,
Do you know who is who?
In Genesis 1 in the 26th verse
There’s a man with never a taint of a curse.
But in Genesis 2 in verse number seven
There’s a dust man conceived…
He’ll never see heaven.

So it really comes down
To which one you will claim,
What thou see’st thou be’st…
So what is your name?
