"Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord." So we read in Isaiah (1:18). Systematic, logical thinking is a human capability, always readily available to us. Its purpose is to weigh evidence pro and con, with a view to arriving at the truth.
From time immemorial, mortals have found existence to be puzzling and inexplicable. Basing their beliefs on the false foundation of materiality, allowing material things and processes to influence and shape their thoughts, they have arrived at wrong and unsatisfying conclusions, and these beliefs have come to be accepted as the truth, so that, generally, material existence has been regarded as the reality of being.
But by sound reasoning, we can remedy the baneful effects of blind material beliefs. Mrs. Eddy writes on page 494 of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health, "Reason, rightly directed, serves to correct the errors of corporeal sense." Christian Science is a thinker's religion.
