Through the sheer might of unfolding good, Mind asserts its presence, its government, its law, its allness—eternally and universally. Patriarchs and prophets heard the voice of God, and the Scriptures record His glorious statements. "Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward" (Gen. 15). These are words that may well be heeded in any age. Their message is timeless.
Divine Mind is God, the I AM self-revealed to Moses, the Father ever communing with Christ Jesus, the Principle self-defined through Christian Science. Mary Baker Eddy heard the self-proclaiming voice of Truth, responded to its eternal demand for scientific expression, and wrote down in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," what she heard.
In individual consciousness, or spiritual man, Mind unfolds its thoughts and purposes. One glimpses this real man whenever one's consciousness is imbued with enough meekness and purity to recognize Mind's unseen presence, to hear the divine voice coming as one's own thought, and then to conform to Mind's mandate for good. Mrs. Eddy says in her Message to The Mother Church for 1900 (p. 10), "All that worketh good is some manifestation of God asserting and developing good."
