Modern technological developments have telling social effects. Quick communication is turning the world into one village in which nearly everyone knows what nearly everyone else is doing and thinking, even while this is happening. The good of one is being found more and more to be the good of all, and this is an important lesson to learn. It must lead eventually to an understanding that, in reality, there is only one Mind, one Principle of all being— divine Love—and that consequently there are no divided interests.
It is logical under these true circumstances, which Christian Science is communicating, that there should appear a tendency toward unity of action in the world and a lessening of divisions and prejudices. When honest attempts are made to unify peoples, the intense resistance that this stirs up is caused by the carnal mind, the suppositional, inherently divisive consciousness that is "enmity against God."
Rom. 8:7; The divine Mind influences humanity in exactly the opposite way. This influence tends to unite the interests of all in one universal good.
To people who are ignorant of the existence of the one divine Principle, this uniting may seem to be merely human expediency. But to one who is conscious of Principle, any unity based upon goodwill shows the presence of Love, which embraces every living being. Step by step humanity must work out what has always existed in God's kingdom: a unified sense of life.
