The recognition of Mind's control brings harmony. The yielding to Mind's control makes us healthier, happier, and holier. Maintained recognition and continued yielding to the only Mind, which is God, solve all problems, personal or universal.
Many examples of the effectiveness of recognizing and yielding to the control of God, Mind, are found in the Bible. For instance, Joseph, in submitting to God's control and guidance, protected Egypt from famine. Moses, faithfully yielding to God's power, saw the Red Sea part before his people. Daniel, who recognized the supreme authority of God, found safety in the lions' den; whereas Jesus, constantly aware of the ever-present government of God, encountered no situation beyond His control.
Through God's revelation, Mrs. Eddy found in the Bible her inspiration for Science and Health. In it she writes, "Mind's control over the universe, including man, is no longer an open question, but is demonstrable Science" (p.171). And in "The People's Idea of God" she states, "Mind, that governs the universe, governs every action of the body as directly as it moves a planet and controls the muscles of the arm" (p. 8).
