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.
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.”
The ideas which the divine Mind has are images— images in Mind.
Mind doesn’t have thoughts; it doesn’t think; Mind knows; it is the all-knowing.
