"THE DIVINE ENERGY OF SPIRIT"

From the May 1959 issue of The Christian Science Journal


THE allness and oneness of God predicate His omnipotence, for since He is All-in-all, there is nothing to dispute His authority. Yet this all-power is manifested only in unfolding good, for God's omnipresence implies the existence only of good —God and His infinite ideas—and His power is solely for the control and development of His ideas.

Speaking in absolute terms, one may say that the divine power is not designed for the overcoming of something opposed to God, but for the harmonious unfoldment of His infinite being. The all-knowing intelligence of Mind, God, includes the inherent ability and power to unfold His ideas, and this power is spiritual energy.

From the standpoint of humanity there seems to be much that is opposed to good. Evil appears to be real and man to be a helpless victim of materiality. This appearance, however, is not the truth of being, but the evidence of the false material senses.
