Overview of C-1 Series:
For over 60 years, Max Kappeler presented the structure of the Christian Science textbook through books, lectures, and classes, showing the divinely structured layout of each chapter. Kappeler's premise is that Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, is a revealed text and contains the whole of Christian Science. Read atomistically (sentences read out of context), the divinely inspired structure is missed. Our challenge is to understand Mrs. Eddy's revelation in its Science, something that can only be achieved through understanding the Textbook's spiritual system and structure. Once John W. Doorly pointed out the fundamental categories of the scientific system of Christian Science, it became possible for Kappeler to interpret the entire Textbook as a divinely structured, coherent story. This story leads the student through an evolution of understanding and consciousness in an uninterrupted, ordered way, from the first page to the last. This spiritual story is our ordered way of life and our teacher.
SYNOPSIS of C-1B I&II: In Chapter X, we are confronted with the warfare between idea and illusion, reality and unreality. Part I shows how ideas dissolve false beliefs (the dissolving of latent error). Part II shows how the belief that man is mortal yields to the divine fact that man is immortal (the dissolving of concrete error, the Adam-dream).
CONTENTS:
Place value of Chapter X: Christianity/Christ, ideas have a Christ
Overall view of the chapter
PART I
Part I shows how an idea saves from the beliefs of ignorance
- The Spirit, Life, Truth tones in the chapter
- The Science tone—nature of idea given in the 7X7 matrix of Mind—Love
- Text must be read synchronically
Is there both a spiritual and material evolution?
- Dimensional logic
- World views on evolution and the history of thinking vs. ideas of Science
Science precipitates itself and generates itself through those with a structured consciousness, and open to revelation
Metaphysical system underlies technology. From holistic viewpoint, inventors are only translators
Overall view of Part I
- Law of Part I
Mind: in metaphysics, a material basis yields to the allness of Mind as the one and only basis
Spirit: the spiritual alone is substantial and thus robs matter of its suppositional substance
Soul: the infinitude of the spiritual renders any belief in finiteness impossibility
Principle: the spiritual alone is founded in divine Principle, and so proves the material, the human and personal to have no divine Principle
Life: spiritual immortal life brings about the end of a material, mortal sense of life
Truth: before an immortal consciousness, which constitutes immortal man, mortal consciousness constituting mortal man yields
Love: the fact of man's coexistence with God dissolves the belief of man's separation from God
Summary: Scientific structural text interpretation yields:
(1) order
(2) supporting melody: subtones inter-twining
(3) laws
PART II
Part I shows the "isness" of being; Part II shows the developing sequence and proof of the idea, making human error yield. It has underlying theme of Truth, Life, and Spirit.
Mind: the Adam-man originates in the belief that there is intelligence in matter, whereas man's origin is in the divine mind
Spirit: mortals must strive to overcome mortal error with the understanding of Spirit
Soul: man is not a mortal but an immortal
Principle: God must be to man an infinite, impersonal Principle and not a personal unknown Deity
Life: man as the only true idea of Life is only spiritually perceptible
Truth: the Christ-man demonstrates the facts of being
Love: divine Science will be universally understood and infallibly demonstrated
