All or Nothing
Each of us seems to experience a continuing war between material sense and spiritual sense. We know that there is a God who is good. We know that this God is Spirit. He is Love. And, to a certain degree, we are confident that He is All. But at the same time we seem to be faced with material forces, material elements, material laws.
The physical senses tell us constantly that we depend on matter for happiness and for health. When we catch a glimpse of ourselves as children of God, we are inspired. But often this sense of inspiration is followed by mental conflict as we observe ourselves again through the physical senses.
Through Christian Science we learn that the physical senses are not self-existent. They are representatives of mortal mind, which is the supposition of a mind other than God. In its claim to existence, this false mind appears to attack anyone who identifies himself as an idea of the one Mind. Mortal mind lashes out at whatever exposes its nothingness. But Science explains further that this attack cannot reach the child of God, for mortal mind can in no way know the real man. Only when we identify ourselves with material sense do we find ourselves defenseless against the attacks of error.
