"CERTAIN SELF-PROVED PROPOSITIONS"

From the August 1958 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Only God can prove the reality and actuality of His infinite divine creation, since He alone is Mind. There is no other Mind to take upon itself the burden of proof regarding what God is and does.

Christ Jesus said (John 14:10), "The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." Mankind seem, of themselves, to be provers of the facts of spiritual being; but spiritual facts originate in divine Mind and evidence the self-proving action of divine intelligence.

All that men can do is to accept what is already true by becoming convinced of its truth. This, of course, entails radical reliance on the truth, despite what may appear to material sense as contrary testimony.
