THE MASTERY OF INTELLIGENCE

From the September 1947 issue of The Christian Science Journal


One of humanity's chief needs is to realize the infinite source and scope of intelligence, and Christian Science is meeting this need. Countless individuals have been and are being freed from the meshes of inadequacy, iniquity, and insanity, through the spiritual understanding of the perfection of God and His perfect man—perfect divine Mind and its perfect divine idea.

So-called mental breakdown is largely due to the material theory that brain is the seat of intelligence with nerves as its medium of expression. This analysis of intelligence is mythical and fleeting. In the one real intelligence there is no congenital defect, no mental collapse, no verdict of deterioration.

Christian Science reveals the naturalness and availability of intelligence and its provable mastery in the face of fear, superstition, and other phases of mortal pretense. This Science of Christianity, based on the inspired Word of the Bible, quickens individual spiritual expectancy of good, and of good only. Step by step, it eradicates the ignorant mortal beliefs, which have not an iota of power to condemn the man of God's creating, whose intelligence, health, and integrity are spiritual and unassailable.
