GOOD ALONE IS REAL

From the October 1961 issue of The Christian Science Journal


CHRISTIAN SCIENCE removes suffering and completely heals disease. Often it enables the one healed to see that God did not make disease for anyone, that an erroneous mental state has falsely been called a material state, and that immortal Mind, God, has created only good. This Science reveals the comforting truth that since all is perfect Mind and its harmonious ideas, nothing but good has existence or can come into being.

There are not two creations. What appears as material is but an imperfect view of the one spiritual creation—God's. Although it is termed physical, there is not an actual physical realm in which evil is real. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, emphatically declares in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 427), "Immortal Mind, governing all, must be acknowledged as supreme in the physical realm, so-called, as well as in the spiritual."

Again, the possibilities for demonstration open wide as we comprehend that man is not both a spiritual and a material being. There are not two of each of us; there is only one. Moreover, we are actually spiritual beings, even when mortal mind suggests its erring concept of us and says that we are material and discordant. The materiality or discord is not really in us. It seems to exist only because of our ignorance of our true, spiritual selfhood, which includes only good.
