Recession Is Unnecessary

From the December 1970 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Even in the midst of unprecedented economic expansion, many fear that reversal is inevitable. But Christian Science teaches men to look beyond matter to Spirit and find that in the divine economy there is no recession of good.

God, who is infinite good, all-inclusively plans and perpetually imparts boundless blessings. Infinite good is not subject to inflation or deflation. Unchanging Mind, God, never increases, decreases, withholds, or withdraws the ineffable love with which He sustains His universe of spiritual ideas. Mrs. Eddy writes: "All real being represents God, and is in Him. In this Science of being, man can no more relapse or collapse from perfection, than his divine Principle, or Father, can fall out of Himself into something below infinitude." No and Yes, p. 26

Only good is inevitable. In fact, infinite good is the eternal reality. Unstable or endangered economy is a mistaken and mortal sense of the economy. We can pray to understand the divine economy. Then we can prove that no claim of selfhood or system separable from God has ever replaced or can ever exclude the creative, unfolding activity of spiritual substance. Nor can evil disturb or destroy the even balance of supply and demand, which indicates the one all-controlling divine source.
