In reality, God, Mind, has absolute control here and everywhere, this very moment, over everything. Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Mind is supreme." She adds, "Mind, that governs the universe, governs every action of the body as directly as it moves a planet and controls the muscles of the arm.''
The People's Idea of God, p. 8
Nothing large or small is excluded from divine Mind's mandate of harmonious action. If we are believing ourselves to be under the domination of sickness or impairment, we can awake to the fact of Mind's supremacy over every movement and function of our bodies.
The authority of Mind, Spirit, is indeed total, for in the eternal order of spiritual reality there is no separation between governor and governed. Mind controls by constituting all its manifestations directly out of its own substance, and every perfect, divine quality is faithfully expressed in creation. The creator, who is Spirit, good, excludes matter and evil from creation, thereby exempting every real expression of His being from mortality and harm.
