Mind's Control of the Body

NICHOLAS J. KOLIOPOULOS

Christian Science brings to humanity a beneficent and correct understanding of the Holy Scriptures. It reveals God, Truth, His allness and omnipresence, and teaches that He is Mind, Principle, omnipotent Love; and when its teaching is understood and properly applied, it produces harmonious results. The divine Principle of Christian Science is demonstrable and unerring. Its rules are applicable to any and every human problem; but a clear and correct understanding of the Science of Mind, Christian Science, is required in order, for instance, to heal the sick.

The inspired pages of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, show that since God is infinite Love, omnipotent and omnipresent Mind, the only creator, His creation is spiritual and perfect, and is governed by ever present divine law. God, Spirit, the only intelligence and creator, never created matter. Mrs. Eddy says on page 469 of Science and Health, "What is termed matter is unknown to Spirit."

In undertaking to learn the lessons of Christian Science, the seeker after Truth finds that real individuality is an emanation of divine Spirit, inseparable from Him, and therefore forever sustained and supported by omnipotent Mind. Likewise, he learns that material personality is not real; that the corporeal body is but a seeming manifestation of supposititious mortal mind, and that so-called mortal man is the antipode of the real, spiritual man, whom Spirit, God, has created after His own likeness.
