The divine Mind—and there is no other real Mind—expresses itself in ideas which are at once comprehensible to the Mind conceiving them. These ideas are complete, so that no imperfection exists in the spiritual creation because of omission, deficiency, or oversight. Nothing can be done to pervert their purpose, identity, or effect because absolute intelligence is their source and substance. Since Mind, Truth, is infinite, its ideas reflect the infinite and constitute the only real consciousness.
The true idea of eloquence lies in the expression of God's infinite ideas. On page 475 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy defines "man." The definition reads, in part, "He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas." Thus the real man represents God, eternal Principle. He is eloquent in praising Soul, in giving expression to the intelligence, beauty, order, symmetry, power, and substance of Spirit. He knows what to say at all times, for the word in his mouth is the instant manifestation of omniactive Truth. He knows what to do and how to do it, because he is the reflection of the omniscience of Life and Love. He knows no opposition to his being or expression, for he is forever aware that God, good, is All-in-all. He knows no hesitation in the expression of himself, for he has no self to express except that which is wholly like omnipresent Love. His entire being is the reflection of God, and is spiritual and perfect. Nothing can stop, alter, impede, or in any way interfere with divine reflection. Hence, the perfection and completeness of man, and his constant consciousness of his spiritual wholeness.
Have these spiritual facts any bearing upon what is humanly called "expressing oneself" or eloquence? Indeed they have! When one discerns the Science of being, he apprehends that hesitation, confusion, inability, and misjudgment are suggestions of mortal mind, false claims to life and intelligence apart from God. Thus these illusions are seen to be lies, without actual influence or effect. By denying that the suggestions of mortal mind have any might in one's experience and affirming the truth of creation as Christian Science presents it, one finds that the ability to express himself through speech increases:
