If all the longings of the human race could be summed up in one word, surely that word would be "freedom." Mankind longs for release from the whole range of mortal laws which have claimed through the centuries to govern every aspect of human existence. Yet slowly but surely one by one individuals find the road of escape by turning away from the blind alley of external searching to the unobstructed way of spiritual discernment.
The changing views of physical research regarding matter include necessarily a changing concept of law. As the dawn, with its irresistible appearing, dispels first a shadow here and then a shadow there, so Truth is unfolding its omnipotence in individual experience.
Christian Science teaches that there is one infinite entity, one divine intelligence or Mind, one God who is the only lawgiver, power, and presence. Because divine consciousness is the Mind and Life of all, the innate nature of freedom will inevitably unfold at some time as the conscious knowing of everyone. There remain, then, for all the weary wanderers who seek asylum from the slavery of material sense the releasing presence and power of spiritual thought.
