Health, the Consciousness of Harmony

Duncan Sinclair

In teaching that God, divine Mind, is infinite good, and that man is the image or reflection of Mind and therefore expresses unlimited good, Christian Science is doing more for the health of mankind than any other agency in the world to-day. For what does it mean, this great truth of God's infinite goodness? That harmony is real, and inharmony unreal! In other words, that all that is good and harmonious is real, but that sin, sorrow, suffering, disease, lack—evil in every form—is unreal.

From what has just been said it is evident that man, the real man, who is God's image and likeness, must be in the perpetual enjoyment of perfect harmony. There can be no getting away from this great spiritual fact. The material senses may argue persistently to the contrary, but the truth remains that man, the perfect reflection of perfect Mind, can know naught but harmony or health. Being God's reflection, he cannot express aught but the divine qualities, in which there is not a trace of anything imperfect or inharmonious.

It were well that the beginner in the study of Christian Science who may be in search of health, should remember these truths. Indeed, by doing so he will be greatly aided in his endeavor. And he will note in his study that in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy is constantly taking the thought of the student back to God, all the time striving to show that He is omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient, and that His creation, always at-one with Him, ever reflects His power and intelligence. Her effort is so to instruct human consciousness in divine Truth that the errors of material sense will be destroyed, and harmony or health manifested.
