The Right to Mental Freedom

From the September 2008 issue of The Christian Science Journal


EACH OF US HAS A RIGHT TO BE FREE IN EVERY WAY, including from negative mental influences. If anyone feels trapped or limited by such influences, Christian Science can help by showing how to think rightly about ourselves and those around us.

The starting point of right thinking is God, who is divine Mind, the one intelligence of the universe. This one Mind, pure and good, creates only good. The infinite Mind maintains each individual as its spiritual reflection, already including moral perfection and wholeness. This means that each of us actually embodies divine Mind's perfection.

If we're accepting a limited view of someone as a flawed mortal, then we're giving reality to a false sense of manhood or womanhood.
