DEMONSTRATING THE CHRIST-CONSCIOUSNESS

RONALD GRAY WALKER

We read in Proverbs that as one "thinketh in his heart, so is he" (23:7). Christian Science reveals the deep significance of this fact. It teaches that since existence is primarily mental, our whole experience reflects the nature of our thinking. How important it is, then, for us constantly and diligently to watch our thoughts, to evaluate them truly, and to correct them if necessary. Christ Jesus clearly emphasized the importance of mental watchfulness. He said (Mark 13:37), "What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."

How can thoughts be correctly evaluated? In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, writes (p. 462): "Are thoughts divine or human? That is the important question." Do our thoughts emanate from the unreal mortal mind or from the infinitely real and only Mind, which is God?

Christian Science teaches that the thought processes of the carnal mind are derived entirely from the finite, localized, and limited concepts of the material senses. And these false senses claim to represent man. Under the influence of this illusion, mankind has accepted the belief in a personal, finite, human mentality.
