Someone once asked a friend who was a Christian Scientist how he could be expected to maintain a spiritual sense of existence while living in a big city that had a reputation for materialism. The quick and succinct response was "Frequent station identification." A terse reminder to identify oneself with one's true origin, Spirit.
Because God is the one creator—and because all that really exists gives proof of the universality, the presence and power, the nature and knowing, of God —in truth we must be identified with His allness. Our identity must have its source in God. Mrs. Eddy explains it: "If God is All, and God is good, it follows that all must be good; and no other power, law, or intelligence can exist. On this proof rest premise and conclusion in Science, and the facts that disprove the evidence of the senses."Miscellaneous Writings, p. 101.
Accepting the authority of the divine Principle to which we relate enables us authoritatively to identify ourselves and all reality as spiritually good and thus nullify "the evidence of the senses." This false evidence would either deny that God is good or would have us believe He is absent. But this is impossible for omnipresent good.
