Today, plans of every kind are being made for the present and the future, for victory in war and peace, for health, for security and happiness, for democracy and freedom. And to this universal planning for a new world Christian Science offers an invaluable contribution.
Few people would disagree with the fact that every plan is primarily mental; yet, however clearly this may be seen, it is only a necessary first step to bring about an improvement of the plan. It must be followed by a sincere desire to improve the primary mental cause. It is at this point that Christian Science takes up the problem from the basis of its fundamental teaching, namely, that God is Mind, that He is the only Mind; therefore the one and only spiritual basis of thought.
When this truth first dawns on an individual through the light of Christian Science, it brings about a great awakening, for he begins to appreciate two great facts about himself: first, that he has not a mind of his own which can be limited, as he had previously thought, for the limitations he has been inclined to accept as his own, without even questioning or challenging them in any way, do not belong to him. Secondly, he perceives that he has been misled to accept as true that which is not true. The spiritual fact reveals to him that he, equally with others, has a legitimate claim to the infinite capacities of the one Mind, for God, Mind, "is no respecter of persons."
