The Science of being furnishes the interpretation of God, divine Principle, to mankind. All the understanding we have of infinity, eternity, reality, comes to us through Christian Science. This Science is divine. The command in Psalms (46: 10) "Be still, and know that I am God," is indeed scientific. It implies the importance of a knowledge or understanding that God is All-in-all. Many students of Christian Science can vouch for the healing efficacy of a conscious, spiritual response to these words.
The stillness of spiritual reality tells of health, wholeness, perfection. Mental confusion, inharmony, sickness, discord of every nature, are the very opposite of heavenly stillness. They have no place in spiritual reality and must be repudiated by a conscious spiritual sense of being, that is, by a knowledge of God. A disturbed consciousness, whether of the individual or of mankind, is not and cannot be the reflection of God, the one and only Mind.
Spiritual stillness and knowledge of God go hand in hand. Spiritual stillness enables one to conquer error. It helps to quiet fear and anxiety. Christian Science places one on the side of spiritual stillness. The mission of this Science is to heal sickness, sin, and sorrow of every description. Healing is not done by one's encouraging another either to get excited about error or to shut his eyes to error, but by causing him to open his eyes to the unreality, the utter nothingness, of error and to the reality of good.
