MIND, THE SOURCE OF THOUGHTS

Helen Wood Bauman

Obviously , we live in a world of thoughts. Less obviously, all that we cognize or experience is constituted of thoughts, and a change of thinking brings about a change in health and environment. For nearly a century Christian Science has been healing sick bodies and unpleasant environments by changing the thinking of individuals from the basis of matter to that of Spirit.

In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, we find enlightening passages on the subject, such as the following (p. 267): "When examined in the light of divine Science, mortals present more than is detected upon the surface, since inverted thoughts and erroneous beliefs must be counterfeits of Truth. Thought is borrowed from a higher source than matter, and by reversal, errors serve as way-marks to the one Mind, in which all error disappears in celestial Truth."

Through Science we find that God, divine Mind, is the source of true thoughts and that an understanding insistence upon this fact stops the surge of wrong, materialistic thoughts in one's consciousness and replaces these destructive mental forces with good, health-giving thoughts, which originate in Mind, or Truth.
