The type of perception that Christian Science is designed to combat is characterized by empiricist and 'enlightenment' thinking. Empiricism is the source of many errors, and is erroneous itself. It assumes the present experience to be the limit of reality, beyond which nothing is deemed real. Thus, it closes the door to advanced discovery and creativity, and intensifies the focus on the tragically limited, which is deemed to be real.
By the empiricist definition a society's wealth is limited. It is deemed that a person's wealth can only be increased by stealing it from others. Empiricism, therefore, leads to theft, to conservatism that deprives society, to outright exploitation, to looting, and finally to bestiality, genocide, anarchy, and a new dark age that threatens to be darker than any in history.
"Enlightenment" is the name of an ideology that is built on an extension of empiricism. It involves the belief that empirical experiences can be enhanced by force, as it were. It is a type of mysticism that creates the belief that fundamental principles can be overruled, like, for instance, that society can enrich its existence by stealing from each other. This mysticism is widely accepted in the modern world. The entire world-financial system is build on it. It involves a type of stealing that impoverishes entire nations. The mythical belief is that this self-evidently impossible game can be made to work, somehow.
The outcome of "enlightenment" thinking is a terrible perversion of thought that glorifies conservatism and poverty and aims to make the finite appear as infinite. It steps beyond exploitation, and demands depopulation as a gateway to infinity. This downward oriented gateway to the domain of the tragically erroneous has in previous volumes been identified as the driver for economic disintegration and social injustice.
What leads upwards in the matrix and away from the empiricist and 'enlightenment' trap, is reality oriented thinking, which is infinity oriented thinking. This type of thinking leads towards Love, and the recognition of man as the reflected image of God. In this realm of reality man unfolds from an infinite base. This upwards oriented gateway involves all types of healing by mobilizing man's acknowledged resources, creativity, and scientific capability. Its hallmark is infinite perception.
What is recognized as Truth in the higher level domain has previously been identified as the foundation for infinite economy (see Volume 1a), and true justice, (see Volume 1b). In other words, if economic disintegration and injustice are to be dealt with, mankind must end its focus on empiricism and "enlightenment" ideologies, and focus on the domain labeled, Christ, the domain that deal with infinity.
The central theme in this higher domain is divine Love. Neither justice nor a functioning economy can be established without moral and spiritual development, unfolding from scientific discoveries of truth that reflect the nature of infinite divine Love. Most of what is called love, involves human emotions centered on empirical limits rather than infinite perception. And this process of "loving" fails as it is built on "enlightenment" based axioms by which the infinite is sought in total denial of the principles of reality. Scientific Christian healing unfolds from the opposite this process. Its foundation is infinite divine Love, and the discovery and demonstration thereof.
In other words, before any Christ healing can occur, mankind must deal with the credibility gap that defines all spiritual and moral aspects as beyond reality, because they are related to infinity. The credibility gap, therefore, is nothing more than the outcome of empiricist limits being mistakenly accepted as reality. Christ Jesus illustrated and demonstrated these limits as unreal, to be the product of erroneous perception.
