This post is for those that consider themselves creators, or those struggling with barrenness of any kind, or those trying to overcome infertility.

I have learned that God, the divine Mind, is the only Creator. Spiritual creation undergirds everything, and without starting there, you have nothing.

Lately, I’ve been seeing this theme crop up in my Bible study, and I thought it might be helpful to corral some of those ideas in one place, if you need to study them and see how they can help you. Here are some relevant quotes from the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy:

“Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly;”
(Psalms 107:13, 38 (to ;)

“There is but one primal cause. Therefore there can be no effect from any other cause, and there can be no reality in aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause.”
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 207:20–23)

“Creation is ever appearing, and must ever continue to appear from the nature of its inexhaustible source.”
(Ibid p. 507:28–29)

Abram and Sarah laughed that she should get pregnant at 90, but she did, because God said so. (see Genesis chapters 17 and 18)

Hannah was infertile and begged a child from God, promising to give him to God, and God answered her prayer (see I Samuel chapters 1 and 2)

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:”
(Romans 8:16)

“…reproduction by Spirit’s individual ideas is but the reflection of the creative power of the divine Principle of those ideas. The reflection, through mental manifestation, of the multitudinous forms of Mind which people the realm of the real is controlled by Mind, the Principle governing the reflection. Multiplication of God’s children comes from no power of propagation in matter, it is the reflection of Spirit.”
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 302:31)

“…man is the offspring of Spirit. The beautiful, good, and pure constitute his ancestry. His origin is not, like that of mortals, in brute instinct, nor does he pass through material conditions prior to reaching intelligence. Spirit is his primitive and ultimate source of being; God is his Father, and Life is the law of his being.”
(Ibid, p. 63:5)

“God is individual, incorporeal. He is divine Principle, Love, the universal cause, the only creator, and there is no other self-existence. He is all-inclusive, and is reflected by all that is real and eternal and by nothing else. He fills all space, and it is impossible to conceive of such omnipresence and individuality except as infinite Spirit or Mind. Hence all is Spirit and spiritual.”
(Ibid, p. 331:18)

“Mind is the grand creator, and there can be no power except that which is derived from Mind. If Mind was first chronologically, is first potentially, and must be first eternally, then give to Mind the glory, honor, dominion, and power everlastingly due its holy name.”
(Ibid p. 143:26–31)

God, divine Mind, is the one and only creator. We, the creation, reflect that, and by reflection we can be God-like. That’s why it seems we are creative. But when this become difficult, or you are at an impasse, it is my experience that we’ve got too much of our own personal little minds involved, obscuring the situation. I recommend realigning with the Mind of God, and getting out of the way, as the supreme Creator leads. Then fruition will happen and feel effortless.
