The voice of God came to mankind through the prophet Isaiah, saying, "I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right."
What a comfort it is to know that to seek God aright is to find Him; that He lovingly and unfailingly reveals Himself to His own creation; that He does not dwell apart in hidden places! Christian Science is teaching men that God is omnipresent, and is perceived by the illumined consciousness. It is teaching them to emerge from the dark places of fear and ignorance, where God is not seen.
Truly there is no mysticism about God. That the first great cause is Mind is a simple fact. That Mind is manifested by its own creation of right ideas is also a simple fact. When a hypothesis has been carried through to a proof, it is removed from the domain of mysticism. Through both reason and revelation Mrs. Eddy proclaimed the truth of Christian Science, and proved its teachings in the healing of sin, disease, and death. The truths of Christian Science and their proofs of healing wait for acceptance at the door of human consciousness at all times. Sometimes, it is when one has seen enough of mortal experiences to be convinced of the futility of material ways and methods, that one is ready for the acceptance of these truths.
