The Mind of Man

From the December 1970 issue of The Christian Science Journal


As long as we believe we are human beings, it is vital to the harmony of our experience and to our spiritual progress that we understand we have a God-bestowed heritage of divine ideas. To be saved from harmful thinking, the human consciousness, through the study of Christian Science, must be taught to acknowledge the supremacy, yes, the allness, of the one, divine Mind. It requires a sincere search for truth and a mighty struggle with material sense evidence to gain the realization that there is only one Mind, just as certainly as there is only one God.

God is creator, Spirit, the only Mind; therefore it is logical to conclude that all ideas originate in God and are divine. God's knowledge of His own infinitude precludes the possibility of anything unlike Himself. He makes and includes all ideas, ideas that declare and express His nature.

Thoughts that are personal, mortal, material, must be ruled out of human consciousness, and ideas that we can identify as God's expression of Himself must be accepted. While thoughts that are personal, mortal, material, would limit and destroy mankind, ideas that declare and express God sustain and save mankind.
