Influence

How reassuring it is to realize that Mind is the only influence.
Why is Mind the only influence?

This is what we must know in practice, since one of the common claims of man­kind is that they believe themselves to be under the influ­ence of something other than the divine Mind—under the influence of the stars, the weather, the boss, the family, some relationship, the husband, their race, their religion, the times, the government, etc.

Think of the power and the mastery we gain when we realize there is only one influence, the influence emanat­ing from Mind, and that we are constantly under that influence.

What does it mean to be under
 the influence of Mind?

We feel the power of Mind. The action of Mind alone influences us.

Ideas

That which emanates from Mind is ideas.
If only ideas flow from Mind then the true in­fluence is always ideas.

Idea, An Image in Mind

A short definition for idea, found in Science and Health on page 115:17-18, describes idea as “An im­age in Mind; the immediate object of understanding.”

Image

The ideas which the divine Mind has are images— images in Mind.

Thoughts

Mind doesn’t have thoughts; it doesn’t think; Mind knows; it is the all-knowing.
