The Oneness of Mind

ELLEN C. LESSITER

One who has to make a decision sometimes says, "I cannot make up my mind" or "I am in two minds about it."

Through the study of Christian Science the student soon learns that in turning to God, divine Mind, in full confidence of His loving care and of His guidance through spiritual ideas, he finds the way made plain. It is necessary to wait on God in quietness of heart in order to listen and to receive an inner clear conviction and corresponding peace of mind, thus allowing the dictates of infinite intelligence to govern and direct. In this way the individual willingly yields up all merely human outlining and anxious planning in exchange for the divine direction, and so finds that all concerned are likewise blessed.

In the teachings of Christian Science Mind is one of the seven synonyms given for our heavenly Father. And because there is but one God, there is, in reality, but one Mind, which is unerring in wisdom and impartial in justice and loving-kindness toward all its children. Man made in the image and likeness of his perfect creator, Mind, is therefore the very expression of divine intelligence, and he is conscious only of lucid thoughts and wise acts. As humanity understands and applies these truths of divine Science, limitations of all kinds, together with fear of failure to achieve daily goals, cease to disturb thought, and proofs of the ever-presence of divine Love, God, follow.
