Overcoming death through spiritual birth
Wedding the letter to the spirit. A dominant question that students of Christian Science ask is: How can I progress most rapidly in the understanding of Christian Science? Mary Baker Eddy's first, but not her whole answer is: "Study thoroughly the letter and imbibe the spirit" (S&H 495:27). In a spiritual subject, the exact and absolute letter is important, yet not sufficient. If the letter is not wedded to the spirit, something essential is lacking. Spiritual reality cannot be fathomed with the intellect of the human mind; the Mind of Christ alone can reveal it to our thoughts. Through the Mind of Christ the absolute letter blends with the spirit of the letter, so that the letter becomes the living letter. Therefore, in order to imbibe the spirit we must first investigate the method of how the letter can blend with the spirit. This method is found in the birth of Spirit, through which the spiritual meaning of the letter is gained … The question therefore is: How does spiritual birth take place? Let us first consider how Jesus explained it and afterwards how the textbook of Christian Science presents it in its spiritually ordered method.
