The successful business

GEOFFREY J. BARRATT

The flourishing industry—whether manufacturing or service—is usually the one acting on useful, needed, innovative ideas.

Christian Science shows the business person that the ideas that are of the best help—the ideas that are real—are not mortal thought's notions, assumptions, projects, goals. What helps? Spiritual ideas, which have their roots in God, not in mortal consciousness.

The Science of Christ teaches us how to accept as our Mind the same Mind—God—that Christ Jesus accepted as his Mind. As we begin doing this we reason out from what is real, rather than from what the senses see. Whatever our occupation, we can all be in this right-reasoning business. Our understanding and admitting that God is Mind inevitably give us a unique sense of consciousness and intelligence. When we grasp that true ideas are from Mind, instead of defining them as merely the concepts of mortal thought, we are in the ideas business.
