Time is not a factor in your life – READING LISTDave Hohle, CSB [email protected] Christian Science Board of Lectureship -- 2016

BIBLEJohn 4:3535 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Rev. 12:10 (to :)10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:

II Cor. 6:2 1st I2 I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

John 8: 56-5856 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

Isa. 46:9,10 (to 4th ,)9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand,

II Pet. 3:88 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

I Cor. 15: 51, 5251 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Heb. 4: 1212 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Matt. 13: 35 1st I35 I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

II Tim. 3: 1717 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY TO THE SCRIPTURES By Mary Baker EddySH 595:17-21

1


TIME. Mortal measurements; limits, in which are summed up all human acts, thoughts, beliefs, opinions, knowledge; matter; error; that which begins before, and continues after, what is termed death, until the mortal disappears and spiritual perfection appears.

SH 39:18-22"Now," cried the apostle, "is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation," — meaning, not that now men must prepare for a future-world salvation, or safety, but that now is the time in which to experience that salvation in spirit and in life.

SH 246:11-13The radiant sun of virtue and truth coexists with being. Manhood is its eternal noon, undimmed by a declining sun.

SH 468:28-469:1Eternity, not time, expresses the thought of Life, and time is no part of eternity. One ceases in proportion as the other is recognized. Time is finite; eternity is forever infinite.

SH 44:5-10The lonely precincts of the tomb gave Jesus a refuge from his foes, a place in which to solve the great problem of being. His three days' work in the sepulchre set the seal of eternity on time. He proved Life to be deathless and Love to be the master of hate.

SH 598:19-599:2YEAR. A solar measurement of time; mortality; space for repentance. "One day is with the Lord as a thousand years." (II Peter iii. 8.) One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual understanding of Life and Love, is a foretaste of eternity. This exalted view, obtained and retained when the Science of being is understood, would bridge over with life discerned spiritually the interval of death, and man would be in the full consciousness of his immortality and eternal harmony, where sin, sickness, and death are un- known. Time is a mortal thought, the divisor of which is the solar year. Eternity is God's measurement of Soul-filled years.

SH 55:22-26The time for the reappearing of the divine healing is throughout all time; and whosoever layeth his earthly all on the altar of divine Science, drinketh of Christ's cup now, and is endued with the spirit and power of Christian healing.

SH 92:32-93:9Do you say the time has not yet come in which to recognize Soul as substantial and able to control the body? Remember Jesus, who nearly nineteen centuries ago demonstrated the power of Spirit and said, "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also," and who also said, "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth." "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation," said Paul.

SH 125:21-30The seasons will come and go with changes of time and tide, cold and heat, latitude and longitude. The agriculturist will find that these changes cannot affect his crops. "As a vesture shalt Thou change them and they shall be changed." The mariner will have dominion over the

2


atmosphere and the great deep, over the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air. The astronomer will no longer look up to the stars, — he will look out from them upon the universe; and the florist will find his flower before its seed.

SH 245:5-12Disappointed in love in her early years, she became insane and lost all account of time. Believing that she was still living in the same hour which parted her from her lover, taking no note of years, she stood daily before the window watching for her lover's coming. In this mental state she remained young. Having no consciousness of time, she literally grew no older.

SH 245:27-31Impossibilities never occur. One instance like the foregoing proves it possible to be young at seventy-four; and the primary of that illustration makes it plain that decrepitude is not according to law, nor is it a necessity of nature, but an illusion.

SH 249:18-20 (to 1st .)Life is, like Christ, "the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever." Organization and time have nothing to do with Life.

SH 246:17-31Never record ages. Chronological data are no part of the vast forever. Time-tables of birth and death are so many conspiracies against manhood and womanhood. Except for the error of measuring and limiting all that is good and beautiful, man would enjoy more than threescore years and ten and still maintain his vigor, freshness, and promise. Man, governed by immortal Mind, is always beautiful and grand. Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty, and holiness. Life is eternal. We should find this out, and begin the demonstration thereof. Life and goodness are immortal. Let us then shape our views of existence into loveliness, freshness, and continuity, rather than into age and blight.

SH 509:20-28So-called mineral, vegetable, and animal substances are no more contingent now on time or material structure than they were when "the morning stars sang together." Mind made the "plant of the field before it was in the earth." The periods of spiritual ascension are the days and seasons of Mind's creation, in which beauty, sublimity, purity, and holiness — yea, the divine nature — appear in man and the universe never to disappear.

SH 261:24-30Breaking away from the mutations of time and sense, you will neither lose the solid objects and ends of life nor your own identity. Fixing your gaze on the realities supernal, you will rise to the spiritual consciousness of being, even as the bird which has burst from the egg and preens its wings for a skyward flight.

SH 266:29-32Man is deathless, spiritual. He is above sin or frailty. He does not cross the barriers of time into the vast forever of Life, but he coexists with God and the universe.

SH 504:16-20

3


The successive appearing of God's ideas is represented as taking place on so many evenings and mornings, — words which indicate, in the absence of solar time, spiritually clearer views of Him, views which are not implied by material darkness and dawn.

SH 520:10-15The numerals of infinity, called seven days, can never be reckoned according to the calendar of time. These days will appear as mortality disappears, and they will reveal eternity, newness of Life, in which all sense of error forever disappears and thought accepts the divine infinite calculus.

SH 584:3-8"And the evening and the morning were the first day." (Genesis i. 5.) The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded. This unfolding is God's day, and "there shall be no night there."

SH 332:9-15IX. Jesus was born of Mary. Christ is the true idea voicing good, the divine message from God to men speaking to the human consciousness. The Christ is incorporeal, spiritual, — yea, the divine image and likeness, dispelling the illusions of the senses; the Way, the Truth, and the Life, healing the sick and casting out evils, destroying sin, disease, and death.

SH 263:28-31A sensual thought, like an atom of dust thrown into the face of spiritual immensity, is dense blindness instead of a scientific eternal consciousness of creation.

SH 247:28-30The embellishments of the person are poor substitutes for the charms of being, shining resplendent and eternal over age and decay.

SH 129:22-24We must look deep into realism instead of accepting only the outward sense of things.

SH 504:23-26The rays of infinite Truth, when gathered into the focus of ideas, bring light instantaneously, whereas a thousand years of human doctrines, hypotheses, and vague conjectures emit no such effulgence.

MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS By Mary Baker EddyMis. 15:13-20The new birth is not the work of a moment. It begins with moments, and goes on with years; moments of surrender to God, of childlike trust and joyful adoption of good; moments of self-abnegation, self-consecration, heaven-born hope, and spiritual love. Time may commence, but it cannot complete, the new birth: eternity does this; for progress is the law of infinity.

Mis. 230:1-25Improve Your Time

4


Success in life depends upon persistent effort, upon the improvement of moments more than upon any other one thing. A great amount of time is consumed in talking nothing, doing nothing, and indecision as to what one should do. If one would be successful in the future, let him make the most of the present. Three ways of wasting time, one of which is contemptible, are gossiping mischief, making lingering calls, and mere motion when at work, thinking of nothing or planning for some amusement, — travel of limb more than mind. Rushing around smartly is no proof of accomplishing much. All successful individuals have become such by hard work; by improving moments before they pass into hours, and hours that other people may occupy in the pursuit of pleasure. They spend no time in sheer idleness, in talking when they have nothing to say, in building aircastles or floating off on the wings of sense: all of which drop human life into the ditch of nonsense, and worse than waste its years. "Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait."

Mis. ix:15-18To preserve a long course of years still and uniform, amid the uniform darkness of storm and cloud and tempest, requires strength from above, — deep draughts from the fount of divine Love.

Mis. 307:1-5God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies. Never ask for tomorrow: it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment.

UNITY OF GOOD By Mary Baker EddyUnity of Good 11:24-27 “Jesus required neither cycles of time nor thought in order to mature fitness for perfection and its possibilities. He said that the kingdom of heaven is here, and is included in Mind;”

FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST AND MISCELLANY By Mary Baker EddyMy. 149:31-150:2Remember, thou canst be brought into no condition, be it ever so severe, where Love has not been before thee and where its tender lesson is not awaiting thee.

My. 12:20-28We own no past, no future, we possess only now. If the reliable now is carelessly lost in speaking or in acting, it comes not back again. Whatever needs to be done which cannot be done now, God prepares the way for doing; while that which can be done now, but is not, increases our indebtedness to God. Faith in divine Love supplies the ever-present help and now, and gives the power to "act in the living present."

SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINEWhat Does “Happy New Year” Even Really Mean? By Sean M. Carroll January 2015 issue

QUOTESAlbert Einstein“For us who are convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.”

Arnaud Sait-Paul"Freedom is in the Now.”

Becca LevyYale University Social and Behavioral Sciences “The challenge we had in this study was to enable participants to overcome the negative age stereotypes which they acquire from society, as in everyday conversations and from television.”

CalebJosh 14:10,11“…I am this day fourscore and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.”

Carl J. Welz“Progress toward spiritual perfection demands full and efficient use of the moment we call "now."”

DeWitt John “Learning from Science that man is not a mortal confined in matter but the spiritual image and likeness of God, we begin to discover that man’s life is not bracketed within a framework of time.”

“‘I haven’t time,’ or ‘I’m too busy,’ typifies a universal belief compounded of fear, ignorance, limitation, and materiality, all of which are mortal concepts of existence.”

“…when human thinking truly yields to divine Truth and Love, light dawns instantaneously. Into this spiritualization of thought, the element of time does not enter.”

“…Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity demolished the idea of time as a universal constant. One consequence is that the past, present, and future are not absolutes.”

Eckhart TolleThe Power of Now “Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed.”

Evan Mehlenbacher“God is Spirit, so whatever has always been true in Spirit, is true now. And whatever will be true in Spirit, is true now.”

“…never wait on time for improvement in one’s life, but accept the presence of health, abundance and harmony now.”

Frank E. Morgan III“The prospect of a never-ending sequence of hours, stretching on and on, without climax or conclusion, droning through eternity, terrified me.Yet eternity is the opposite of time, not its extension.”

Geoffrey BarrattChristian Science Sentinel“Waiting is a mortal concept, really, because everything good or real is here and now…”

“…time is a calculation, or measurement, of the human mind. So it's illusory, and not absolute. ”

“…you exist as an eternal, spiritual idea—complete, forever vibrant and whole. No one lives in a timeframe.”

George Harrison Musician, songwriter“It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now.”

George Shaw Cook“A prevalent limiting belief associated with time is that time is a factor in the healing of disease. But this is not true. Students of the Gospels will recall that in a number of instances the word "immediately" is used in connection with the healing works of Christ Jesus.”

Graham Greene Writer, playwright

“Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time…”

Helen Wood Bauman“The hurrying will cease, the tensions will break, as we pay attention to the distinction between time and eternity and choose to devote ourselves to spiritual tasks. We shall accomplish what needs to be accomplished…”

“Jesus perceived the distinction between time and eternity and between material beliefs and spiritual facts; his perception made it possible for him to do in three years what may take centuries for people who cling to the temporal and neglect the eternal. ”

Isaiah"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,”

Janet Clements“The Christ is instantaneous…revealing the fact of the ‘nowness’ of our perfection. It doesn’t need time to make itself known. The Christ is always present, always now.”

JesusJohn 4:35“Say not ye, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”

John 8:57,58“…thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”

Jim CareyActor, Comedian“You can spend your whole life worrying about the pathway to the future, but all there will ever be is what’s happening here, and the decisions we make in this moment…”

John F. Kennedy “The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshall replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon.’”

Kobe Bryant“People get caught up in, ‘I’ll do it tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow.’ You’ve got to do it now. You’ve got to work now.”

Louise S. Darcy“Measured by mortals into old and new, The year is limited to certain days.Above, beyond this transient, earth-bound view, Eternity awaits the inspired gaze.”

Laurence Doyle “…there has never been a connective force discovered between the orbit of the earth around the sun and the aging of the human body. There's no reason why that should occur—it's just something people believe.”

“Time is an illusion. Ideas don’t take any time to be true. Two plus two doesn’t take any time to be four because it’s always true.”

“Time is the basis of all limitation in matter. It’s the basis of the concept of mortality which is based on a limited amount of time.”

Lao Tzu Philosopher and poet“Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to.'”

Mahatma Gandhi Statesman

“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”

Manya Kazeroff-Smith"A spiritual fact is that there is no delay between demand and supply, because God supplies all good. …supply, in whatever form needed, is omnipresent because God is omnipresent.”

Margaret Morrison“Life passes not with the passing of time. On the contrary, the illuminating glory of eternity reveals Life as the ever-present, indestructible fact of existence.”

Mario BenedettiJournalist, novelist“Five minutes are enough to dream a whole life, that is how relative time is.”

Mark SwinneyYour daily lift“Time and space — neither of these is integrated into God. And therefore God does not integrate time or space into you and me, His spiritual creation.”

Mark Unger“I've learned that time doesn't really heal anything. However, by turning to God in prayer, even something emotionally devastating can be healed.”

Martin Luther“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree today.”

Mary Baker Eddy“The understanding that Life is God, Spirit, lengthens our days by strengthening our trust in the deathless reality of Life, its almightiness and immortality.”

“When the destination is desirable, expectation speeds our progress.”

“Whatever needs to be done which cannot be done now, God prepares the way for doing;”

“The disobedient make their moves before God makes His, or make them too late to follow Him. Be sure that God directs your way; then, hasten to follow under every circumstance.”

Max LangThe Christian Science Journal“We do not pray and work for a distant goal but for the present—for the eternal now—by discovering the kingdom of heaven within us. ”

Michelle Nanouche Christian Science Sentinel“The healing didn’t occur over time. It occurred out of time, or rather, when I took myself off the mortal, limited timeline of humanhood…”

“The divine law of punctuality is that divine good is ever-present and eternally engaged. It’s never a second too early or a moment too late.”

Mitch AlbomAuthor, journalist, screenwriter“When you are measuring life, you are not living it.”

Nathan Talbot“Bad habits are a product of time. That is, they are essentially a sequence of mortal events—a repetition of material thoughts and acts set within the framework of time.

“God is now. This is a powerful, spiritual concept that defines reality. Because if God is now, perfection is now; infinite goodness is now; God’s love and care are now.”

PaulII Cor. 6:2“…behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

I Cor 15:51,52“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,”

Peter“But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

Robert Ellis Key“The countless ways in which time claims to affect us must be overcome by the understanding of eternity.”

“Man, the image and likeness of God, has spiritual maturity. He lives in eternity, not in time. Manhood and womanhood are not hedged about by mortal measurements. “
