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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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;

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Come and join the Fun!

Screenshot 2024 11 05 At 11.48.22 am

We need volunteers, Sunday school teachers, and or just come and be a part of the scene!

The Reading Room will be open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM  on today, Sunday, November 24, 2024, during the Encinitas Holiday Street Fair.  Parking is tight so it might be a good time to take the train!  Come by and say hi if you can.

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”.

October 25th, 2024

Screen Shot 2022 11 09 At 12.35.19 PmPlease 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.

 Tempimageecxstn 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 Tempimagex2vpe1goers 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.

Tempimageujws4zPlease 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.

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 .

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”.
