However, he forgets that spirit is a finer state of existence and full of bliss, and the strata in which exists the real consciousness of the living entity.
In this way, if a living being can come to his senses about the true purpose of this universe and material life, then by the Lord's mercy he may attain to the spiritual process of devotional service, which is the natural inclination of the soul.
It means freedom from the attachment to the material conception of life and temporary possessions that keep you bound to that consciousness.

The hotly debated book, The Destiny of the Mother Church, was written by Bliss Knapp, and as early as the late 1930s the church was considering publishing it.
At the center of the debate over Knapp's book is its comparison of Eddy to Jesus Christ as an "incarnation of truth," despite evidence that she had forbidden such comparisons to be made.
In an announcement of the negotiated settlement, the church referred to the Knapp book as a biography of Eddy and said, "Biography can be informative and useful, but it does not necessarily carry the assurance or responsibility of being an accurate primary source regarding the teachings of Christian Science.

The geek fans repulse her, and when one devoted nut named Jason (Nipper Knapp) asks her to read a script he has written, she flips out and reduces him to a quivering mass of jelly.
Her character is allowed to waver somewhat clumsily between poor put-upon heroine and over-the-top bitch at times, but this is more a criticism of the direction than the performance, and Lavoie maintains nicely through some of the inconsistencies.
The rest of the cast is decent, particularly Nipper Knapp (Nipper Knapp??) as the aspiring filmmaker and romantic interest, although his transformation from super geek in the early scenes to believable romantic interest in the later ones seems a bit of a stretch.

The Destiny of the Mother Church, by Bliss Knapp, claims that the faith's 19th century originator, Mary Baker Eddy, was virtually a second Christ.
