Repelling mental invasion

Geoffrey J. Barratt

Should we ever feel that our mental domain is being invaded—even overrun—by woes and worries, we can do something about it. We can do everything about it. We can affirm and prove that in the allness of good there are no invasions of evil.

The finite and the infinite are two concepts of tremendous significance in Christian Science. In Science, good is infinite because God is. Substance is infinite because Spirit is. And only what is characterized by infiniteness is real. On the other hand, we see that evil, the opposite of Spirit, is finite, illusive, unreal, nonexistent. And this can be shown to be true in healing and the correction of all discords.

To know what is infinite and what finite is vital when it comes to repelling evil or expelling it from our thought. The scientific truth is that there is nothing to invade the divine infinite. But, we might say, the infinite "invades" and dissolves whatever would oppose it. Understanding this can make a difference to every moment of our lives.
