SPIRITUALIZATION OF THOUGHT

HERBERT E. FROST

A Very explicit and important statement relating to our human experiences is made by Mary Baker Eddy in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 261): "Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts."

What we are thinking constitutes our mental residence. In selecting our family home we are particular as to the environment it will have. So the environment of our mental home is important. We want our surroundings as well as our habitation to include "the enduring, the good, and the true," for these qualities comprise harmony, health, joy, peace, abundance, and love, all of which are spiritual. We want none of their opposites, such as discord, sickness, sorrow; certainly we would not deliberately choose them for our environment or for our habitation.

When we are told that we can live in a desirable state of consciousness instead of in its opposite, we may wonder how this can be done. Many thousands are finding the answer in the teachings of Christian Science, which emphasize the necessity of spiritualizing thought.
