What do you do if you come to a point in your life when you feel unfulfilled, without purpose or direction, burdened by disappointment? In essence you may feel as if you're experiencing what the world calls a "midlife crisis.” Rather than following the world's remedy of buying a new car or leaving your marriage, there's a more practical and permanent solution: discovering the unchanging goodness and completeness that are already and always a part of you as an idea of God. Understanding your spiritual identity could very well lead to a radical lifestyle makeover that is joyful and satisfying.

Mary Baker Eddy wrote a book called Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures that shows us how to free ourselves from midlife maladies and other labels associated with age and aging. In this book she writes, “Each successive stage of experience unfolds new views of divine goodness and love” (p. 66).

Join Christian Science practitioner Norm Bleichman in a live question-and-answer chat as he explores the spiritual, eternal—ageless—nature of men and women and answers questions about how we can recognize that nature in our own lives.
