Thinking right and "thinking otherwise"

From the March 1992 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Strong demonstrations of Christian Science healing are still being made—you know, the kind where it becomes clear that matter couldn't possibly be the substantiality it seems to be. And this kind of healing is destined to increase as we recognize our right to spiritual consciousness that isn't infiltrated or clouded by the insistent materialism of the times.

It isn't a question of how much spiritual truth we think we can think. In fact, it's just the opposite. What makes healing possible is that divine Mind gives a new consciousness, as we steadily, obediently work at following Christ, the true idea of God, and choose that Mind "which was also in Christ Jesus." Phil. 2:5. In Christian Science we are learning that there really is only one God, one Mind, one omnipresent consciousness. There is no other genuine intelligence. To think otherwise is really not being humble but egotistic. It is attempting to take over for oneself something that belongs entirely to God.

We're helped to go forward much more consistently with this insight as we're willing to consider more directly and honestly what Christian Science teaches about intelligence and life not being in matter.
