In Isaiah, we read the divine promise (65:25), "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord."
Is that holy mountain a particular locality? Several years ago, a Christian Scientist delivered a baccalaureate sermon at a great university. It was printed in The Christian Science Monitor. In it he said: "Recognition of the inviolability of your own mentality . . . is what shows your true consciousness to be unimpaired by external poison or deceptive influence, the consciousness to which, because of its integrity, defeat is a myth, the consciousness which is the holy high place of God, and to which the Scriptures refer when they declare (Isaiah 11: 9): 'They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.' . . . May I give you again my sense of the holy mountain of the Lord? I believe it to be the true individual consciousness which is unpersuaded contrarily to itself."
Our great Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, says in "Unity of Good" (p. 24): "All consciousness is Mind; and Mind is God,— an infinite, and not a finite consciousness. This consciousness is reflected in individual consciousness, or man, whose source is infinite Mind."
