In "Miscellaneous Writings" (pp. 306, 307), in an article entitled "Angels," our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, gives us the method of deliverance from every belief in lack or limitation. In the first place, she defines the touch of God's angels as "a spiritual idea that lights your path." Then she quotes from the Psalmist, "He shall give His angels charge over thee;" and she goes on to say, "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies." Here, then, is the way to become conscious of all good,—to understand and demonstrate that "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies."
Immediately the questions present themselves: What are spiritual ideas? and, How do they give us supplies? In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 88) Mrs. Eddy tells us, "Ideas are emanations from the divine Mind." The divine thoughts, therefore, which come to us from divine Mind, Spirit, are spiritual ideas, which in turn give us daily supplies. Christian Science unfolds, simply and clearly, the way in which these ideas meet our need when it tells us over and over again that we are to cling to good thoughts, using— reflecting—them at all times and under all circumstances. How easy, then, to see that these God-given ideas will produce naturally all right effects!
Take, for instance, the divine idea of truth. If one entertains this gift of God, this idea of divine Mind with its resultant honesty, and allows it to reflect its activity in his own thinking, what wonders will be produced! This idea will bring forth strength of character along a thousand lines; will be rewarded with the confidence of all who come in contact with it; will inspire faith wherever it is met. One governed by this idea will be trusted in every undertaking and great blessing will accrue to others as well as to himself as a consequence.
