There's Always a Way

HUGH CRICHTON ROBERTS

In Christian Science there's no such thing as a hopeless situation. There's a right solution to every problem when an individual changes his thinking from material beliefs to the spiritual ideas of Truth and Love.

The real man, the spiritual reflection of God, has never been in trouble. He cannot know evil, for he is the expression, the idea, of infinite Mind. He does not live in a world of objectified evil or danger; that is an illusion, a mortal misunderstanding of the facts of being. Man lives in the world of God's creating, in the exhilarating atmosphere of divine Mind, where are only the thoughts of God. Spiritual man is the true selfhood of everyone. Mrs. Eddy writes, "If Mind, God, is all-power and all-presence, man is not met by another power and presence, that—obstructing his intelligence—pains, fetters, and befools him."^{Miscellaneous Writings, p. 173;}

From a human standpoint, the student of Christian Science learns, as anyone may learn, that he lives in consciousness; and where he stands today represents the quality of his prayers, his present understanding of Truth and Love. Right now, he is literally where his thinking has brought him; and he will rise to new levels of happiness and success or sink into the depths according to the thoughts he entertains, for individual thought determines individual experience.
