The science of nuclear physics tells us that there exists not a single speck of basic matter in the entire universe, so that all that exists is the construct of energy and forces, intelligently arranged into a vast array of expressions of Principle with a harmonizing Spirit of such perfection that it may be termed Love. If a single aspect of universal Principle was missing or counteracting, the universe would be an empty void. It would simply not exist. Intelligence and its Principle are one, and this one is God, reflected in the universe and man. Without the all-pervading Intelligence and its Spirit that is Love, the universe would exist. The cosmos would be a deep black emptiness symbolically represented by the black cross. And so would be our human world without Love and its light. Let's not bare this cross. Let's not live in a world without Love. Healing is the process of recovering what has been carelessly put out of sight, that which is precious, is divine, and is so easily obscured by mistaken perceptions. Healing is a process of putting ourselves into the light of universal divine Love where we find the dimensions of our humanity and its divinity. The central cross represents the moral domain where we begin to explore the spiritual dimension towards an awareness and understanding of Truth. The pathway to Truth is Science. The crown represents divine Science. Its dimension (9x16) coincides with the pedagogical structure outlined by Mary Baker Eddy that is coincident with the biblical city foursquare from Revelation 21. Christian Science healing is a scientific process of bringing one face to face with the Truth that IS. Christian Science healing does not create health, but brings us home to the reality of our being where health is the immutable reflection of God's manifest in man. Divine Truth, Love, Soul, are at the source of the light above the crown and above the frame of the painting above. There "Principle and its idea is one" and this one is God. This One is our Light, and is ours to take hold of in thought that it may enrich us with a brighter sense of the reality of our being. even as it surrounds us without end.
Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of the science of "Christian Science," wrote in her textbook of it:
