If it were necessary to state in a few words the nature of the educational enlightenment Christian Science is affording one,it might be phrased as follows: To think out from Truth, divine Mind, instead of trying to look at existence through a personal, human mind.
By defying the suggested substantiality and would-be reality of this human mind, Mary Baker Eddy, with her penetrating spiritual understanding, undertook the search of the nature of the universe from its primal source. Almost nineteen hundred years earlier, the Founder of Christianity had referred to this basic knowledge as "the Spirit of truth," of which he spoke as proceeding from the Father, in other words, from Truth itself (see John 15:26).
That truth can only proceed from Truth, and not from its opposite, is axiomatic logic. However, the pride of human intellectuality and the mesmerism of its self-assumed importance have inadvertently hidden this great fact. Thus this intellectuality continues its efforts to find truth within its own narrow, egotistical, and imaginary precincts. Hence its failure.
