One of the leading points of Christian Science is that matter is not the reality it appears to be. “All is Mind and Mind’s idea,” Mary Baker Eddy wrote.

I loved the below analogy Jules Cern used in a Christian Science lecture he gave decades ago titled, “The Truth that heals,” to illustrate the illusory nature of matter.

About 19 paragraphs into the text it states,

“At a recent musical show all of the
action took place in front of a plain, solid screen. While everyone could hear the music very plainly, never­theless the orchestra was nowhere in sight. The stage had been extended to cover the orchestra pit, and the music obviously was not coming from under­neath. At the opening of the second act some lights went on behind what had appeared to be the solid screen. Then the orchestra could be seen through the screen as plainly as if the screen were not even there. This particular type of screen is called a scrim. A scrim hides what is going on behind it, except when light is brought to bear on what it is hiding. When the light is applied, the scrim no longer conceals what is going on.

Light of Truth reveals reality
In like manner, the thought that matter exists is nothing more than a mental scrim. It seems to hide the true view of existence until the light of Truth is applied to our thought. Then we are able to see through the mental scrim of material thought….”

What are some everyday scrims we need to see through in order to catch the right spiritual idea?

A few examples:

Money vs. supply
House vs. home
Sex vs. love
Food vs. inspiration
Medicine vs. truth

Can you think of any others?
