References to the scientific work of Lyndon LaRouche and associates are included in various places in this book, in order to present today's leading edge in the discovery and promotion of fundamental principles in the realm of economy and statecraft which coincide in their basic aspects with the principles documented by Mary Baker Eddy more than a hundred years ago. By this inclusion, both aspects of the relevancy of divine Truth to human living are set up to be explored, which is necessary because of their deep interconnection. After all, we of mankind, live in one common world and are subject to one single reality that unites every sphere related to human living and the science of it.
The book presented here, is dedicated to all scientists exploring the Science of Being. It is intended as a research tool for the advance of science, not a specific religion. All opposite pages in this book are left blank, which should provide convenient space for the researcher to take notes on, of the unfolding thoughts as the research continues. The pursuit of Science is one of the great hallmarks of human civilization that has contributed much to mankind's dominion over its world and the advance of its freedom and its status of living. Without a continuously strong dedication by humanity to its tradition of creative scientific discoveries, civilization is destined to suffer a collapse into chaos and death, even while having the means at hand of extending its reach to the stars and beyond. Thus, the link between the scientific and the political sphere is an essential one.
It is appropriate to close this introduction now with the Scriptural text that Mary Baker Eddy had used twice in succession as a means of pointing to the most fundamental part of the outline of the instrument of Science that she has provided to extend man's dominion towards ever greater increments of freedom. But in considering the text, it seems useful to also consider its relevance to the sphere of public policy for world wide economic and scientific development. "These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it."*(Science and Health p.499/p.579)
This open door is the advancing realization of scientific discovery and creative understanding that drives human development on the whole front, individually, socially, and civilly, which development is the key to the future of civilization. This development can be realized in the individual realm in metaphysical healing, and in individual development for a fuller, richer, and more productive and satisfying life. This development in turn reflects itself in the moral, scientific and technological development of mankind, laying the foundation for a world without starvation, without hunger, without poverty, without war, and without disease. All these are totally achievable through scientific and technological development and are inherently practical as a goal. Christian metaphysical healing has the potential to uplift the whole of the human experience, and not merely to just lift a person out of the grasp of disease.
1996, a year of two significant anniversaries.
The end 1995 marks the closing of a 650 year cycle of history that began with the total disintegration of the Venetian driven world-financial system in 1345. Today, we face the repeat disintegration of the world-financial system that has been structured on fundamentally the same Venetian model, and the same ideological background of feudalism that the Venetian model represents.
The year 1995 also marks the closing of a 550 year cycle of repression of the unfolding spirit of renaissance among mankind. The Renaissance that unfolded out of the spiritual developments of the 1440s, that generated the strongest period of progress in mankind's history, that gave us the nation-state, has stood in opposition to the oligarchic forces of feudalism that have brutally suppressed its appearance at every new stage of unfoldment. Still, though being suppressed, it continues to unfold. In contrast to this natural dynamism, the powers of repression face an impending disintegration, as the structures that have been supporting the repressive force have become bankrupted by their own destructive force, in all respects, financially, physically, and morally. Mankind faces the greatest opportunity in its history to break with feudalism, and to accept the responsibility for its freedom from mental, financial, and physical oppression.
