ALL-INCLUSIVE MIND

ELIZABETH GLASS BARLOW

Christian Science reveals the indivisible and all-inclusive nature of God as Mind. This Mind is seen to be the one divine Being from which emanates all creation. The recognition of God as Mind, Spirit, makes it possible for one to see that creation is spiritual, the manifestation or expression of the infinite cause we call God. Because Mind is infinite, its creation is not exterior to itself but is forever lovingly embraced in Mind.

In writing on this subject, Mary Baker Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (pp. 502, 503): "There is but one creator and one creation. This creation consists of the unfolding of spiritual ideas and their identities, which are embraced in the infinite Mind and forever reflected."

To acknowledge God as the all-inclusive Mind, tenderly embracing its infinite creation, is to see that one's abundance, one's health, one's joy, exists as an idea, independent of person or place. Science teaches that man, the climax of creation, includes as the reflection of Mind every right idea and lacks nothing.
