Unfoldment

"Christian Science presents unfoldment, not accretion; it manifests no material growth from molecule to mind, but an impartation of the divine Mind to man and the universe."

ACCRE''TION
1. A growing to; an increase by natural growth;
UNFOLD
To open folds; to expand; to spread out
To open any thing covered or close; to lay open to view or contemplation; to disclose; to reveal;
To declare; to tell; to disclose.
To display
To display; as, to unfold the works of creation.

As I was reading this, it struck me that I have often tried to "grow" by accretion. This statement hammers home that it is unfoldment and God and cannot be forced. As Mrs. Eddy says, "I will listen for Thy voice."

Re: Unfoldment

reflection is a moment by moment state - a humble attitude that I cannot accomplish anything unless God is at the head of the procession and I am merely his servant and witness to His works.

The other is human progress. It states "I have arrived". Arriving at a destination, one stops.

If I feel compelled to stop or find some activity is distracting me, it is a sign to wake up and and regain my dominion.
