An economy of ideas

So much uncertainty seems to burden the world during this turbulent political and economic time, challenging business and government leaders to search for expedient solutions. But these solutions can backfire. For effective, enduring solutions to these challenges, inspired ideas based on a spiritual perspective are needed. Nothing else can strengthen and stabilize the global economy. Where do these creative inspirations come from—inspirations that help propel mankind forward to enlightened resolutions? Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, says, “Ideas are emanations from the divine Mind” (p. 88).

Ideas that bless mankind come from God, the divine Mind, and they come to us through Christ, revealing God’s loving presence and power to human consciousness. These transformative and healing ideas unfold naturally, bringing clarity that acknowledges that infinite possibilities are right at hand. 

When we turn our thought to God, Mind, intelligent, inspired ideas begin to flow and give us useful and relevant direction, whether individual or global. These constructive ideas can then be implemented, resulting in better service to others and increased economic abundance for our communities. So, in our own spiritual practice, we can deal confidently in prayer with challenges that would impede healthy economic activity that blesses humanity.
