Conflict Can Be Overcome

LARNED L. TUTTLE

The human being appears to be under constant pressure from numerous conflicting elements that exist within his own thinking, in his activities, and in the world around him. This conflict often leads to tension, resentment, bitterness, and strife, which keep him in turmoil and constitute a major threat to his health and well-being.

Does this scene of opposition and unrest really present a true picture of man and his experience? Christian Science reveals that it does not.

Conflict is the result of the universal material belief that there are many individual mortal minds with varying opinions, desires, and wills. Christian Science, on the other hand, teaches that Mind is God and that, as there is but one God, there can be but one infinite Mind, one source of thought and motive. In reality, then, man must exist in a state of perfect peace and harmony without a single element of friction or conflict. This is the spiritually true basis of man's existence, true right where the illusion of discord appears to exist.
