THE TOTALITY OF GOOD

From the June 1963 issue of The Christian Science Journal


MANY people know the marvel of living in a time of expanding concepts and scientific wonders. Material barriers are being surmounted, but this broad knowledge is not without its limitations. It is well known that physical scientists have recognized for some time that the framework of substantial matter is crumbling away. New theories and vast stores of information point to new concepts, but the significance of these cannot always be fully comprehended. Parts that should fit together contradict each other or shoot off in opposite directions. Coherent relationships often seem unexplainable in the context of a single total concept.

Philosophers and scientists wonder where this will lead. To mortal sense the question arises, Will mankind ever perceive a complete picture or must they learn to live with fragmentary patterns and a continuing sense of disorder?

Christian Science gives a logical and conclusive answer to this question that has no satisfying answer in the broad context of modern thinking. All-inclusive Mind is God. The revelation of spiritual completeness is not a blind, mystical assertion of a totality beyond the understanding of mankind. On the contrary, it enables men to know the infinite.
