Frequently harassed mortals are heard to exclaim: "I don't know which way to turn. There's no way out!" There are few who have not at one time or another found themselves groping in the darkness of such perplexity. Because of the unselfed lifework of Mary Baker Eddy, glorious awakening and relief await such sufferers. To the many who are struggling with all forms of human dilemmas and distress, Christian Science declares unequivocally that there is a solution to every human problem and reveals the way to find it.
Christian Science teaches that God, good, is All; that He is infinite, perfect Spirit, the only creator; and that man is His spiritual and perfect image and likeness. It is impossible that God could have created anything unlike Himself. Since there cannot be more than one creator who has created all, it follows logically that that which is not good is without a creator and therefore does not exist. Thus disease, lack, loneliness, and all other forms of adversity, being unlike God, are conditions which have no actual existence. They are but a mistaken sense of existence entertained by mortal mind, the carnal mind, which Paul tells us "is enmity against God" (Rom. 8:7), and which is nothing but a counterfeit of the one Mind, God.
When this carnal mind declares that an unsolvable problem is present, it is only describing its own false sense of existence. Because it cannot see the way, it announces, "There is no way out." Mrs. Eddy states in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 54), "The carnal mind cannot discern spiritual things." Actually, the way out is present at all times and always may be found if one turns confidently and understandingly to God.
