From Fannie Pierce’s Reminiscences and what she heard from Mrs. Eddy: “If we hold to the knowledge that God is All and All-in-all, we cannot see the false claim, because being within the radius of Mind, we cannot see the inverted image, or false testimony of the senses.The one thought to be held before all others is that God is All.  To hold it, and to know it, and to see no other claim as real – this will bring instantaneous healing.”

“Face to Face” biblically means the relationship of ‘original’ to ‘image.’

Perfect God, perfect man. 

Original = God, “I AM”

Image = man, “I am

Articles to read on this subject: (Both articles are very inspiring. I’ve just given you a bit from each).

“Face to Face” by Gladys A. M. O’Connor, CSJ, October 1931

“It is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew that after Jesus had gone up into a high mountain—an exalted state of spiritual thinking—he was transfigured before three of his disciples whom he had taken with him. They, too, then saw the spiritual identity as a son of God, whose face shone as the sun with his exalted understanding of Life and Love, and whose purity was as a white raiment about him.

This spotless purity, into which no shadow of animality had ever entered, enabled Jesus to come into radiant communion with his Father. He was so conscious of divine Love's omnipotence, perfection, and nearness that he, as it were, saw God "face to face," and reflected in his countenance the matchless holiness, purity, and love which dwell forever in the divine Mind, and which had always been his as a son of God.”

“Face to face with God,” Mary Bretz Reed, CSJ, March 1987

"I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." 1 What a wonderful experience Jacob must have had to so glimpse what God is in His perfection, goodness, and omnipresence that he could see something of the unreality of the error he was struggling with—"a mortal sense," Mrs. Eddy explains, "of life, substance, and intelligence as existent in matter with its false pleasures and pains . . . ." 2 He was so spiritually uplifted that he called the place "Peniel" or "Face of God."
