Have you ever been troubled by indecision, lack of accomplishment, inertia? Is there a tendency toward indefiniteness in your life, the absence of color or individuality? Do you leave things unfinished or shun responsibility?
There is a type of philosophy that supports these false influences and could be the source of such suggestions handling one's consciousness. It would lead one to muse on the theoretical and mystical; it advocates hypnotic meditation and the loss of one's individuality. It is the type of thought that would escape responsibility by yielding up one's right of decision, by merging with the mass or with the infinite (Nirvana). Christianity denies such errors, and Christian Science shows one specifically how to demonstrate freedom from them.
Christian Science thoroughly supports individuality and individual responsibility. It teaches that God is divine Mind, or Principle. His universe and man express His intelligent, loving, and precise purpose. God's ideas are distinct, definite, and forever individual. They never lose their identity. They reflect the all-knowing Mind and are exact in their expression. They are definite in purpose and activity. When one understands something of this scientific relationship between God and man and lives in accord with it, he can expect to experience intelligent direction; he can know what to do and how to do it. His life can take form, and he can know a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.
