Matter Sense-Impr sssion.
Everything that We know or see or
eieve, all our thoughts, acts, or ex-
eriences go to make up our universe.
IL sense of existence, our conscious
ess.
As we gain our concept of existence
fgely through the physical senses Il
Very important that we be able to
eigh and slit their testimony. We
y know how deceptive these senses
re. The distant house is not actually
mall because it seems TO be so. neith-
i does the sun move because it an
ears to move. So also hearing, taste,
ouch and sHel are all fallible IN
act the impressions received by Tie
enses and recorded mentally require
Xplanation ard rectilicaton to make
hem coherent and Ineligible.
These senses bring to our conscious
ess only Impressions, from which We
orm concept of things. If therefore
| he testimony of the physical senses is
| o unreliable and unsatisfactory il is
| nparent that the consciousness gained
| trough these senses cannot be true
nd reliable
| What is the true nature of sub
| tance, or what is back of these APP
earances, material sense does not and
annot determine. Only a sense that
an perceive truth and reality can de-
lare this.
Ii we can see existence as mental in
tead of physical, we have taken a
reat step onward. The next step is
lesrn what is true and real and thus
orrect our impressions and obtain a
| ruer consciousness of existence
What is Mind?
The ordinary human concept of nina
5 that which thinks, feels or wills, the
| Intellect, or the activity of the gray
natter called brain Christian Science
eveals the fact that Mind is divine
'rinciple, the infinite Life, Truth, Love,
| iihiloCeitl, OsliulScleHt, oHlnlpreSeni,
| he al-inclusive, ternal, unchanging.
| ll-wise being, the only cause and ere
| tor.
This is a very different Mind from
nat which is supposed to result from
he action of the gray matter
Christian Science makes it clear tina,
| material existence not the manifest
tion OF this divine Mind, but the phe-
ionenon of the counterfeit, called NOR
al mind
1t is this false concept of existence
hat does all the wrong thinking; that
\ ,eiieves in sin, disease and death; that
laims there is life and intelligence in
| natter.
Since God is Mind this Mind is good,
md its effects must always be good,
.aeyer evil. AS real thinking is the ac-
vity of the divine Mind, the only real
| thoughts or ideas are good Therefore
very thing that is evil, pertains to evil
II results in evil is not Mind nor in
iuded in Mind, hence is not real HUI
alan thought, will power, hyprotisnl,
| mental suggestion or magnetism are
VI capable of evil, and hence are not
Mind OF the activity of Mind, are NOT
If God, and so are not good but essen
ally and entirely evil.
Healing Methods.
The difference between the method
ii healing through mental suggestion
~ hypotism, and that of the divine
Mind, the Christ healing, must be
|ciearly seen.
| When the effort is made to heal by
suggestion, the, operator endea gors by
means of mental manipulation to maze
he patent believe that he is not sick
lie attempts to change the belief, but
h. cause of disease remains and n
inc manifests itself even in worse
forms. The patient is no better off
ne has rot risen in the scale of being,
he has no more manhood, or nlol al
courage. and does not know any more
about cod and His Christ than before.
The rue Christian Scientist reflects
the divine Mind, stands on the basis of
God man and the universe as Spirit
and spiritual. as Love and its mani
festation, as Mind and its ideas per
feet and Harmonious. Hence he I'M
derstands the unreality Of matter and
evil ard knows that man is not sick
but that the patient is simply suffering
from d false mcsmeric belief. From,
that standpoint he proceeds to correct
the errors of beli. f W ith the Truth oi
being and thus establishes harmony
Oh q spiritual, scientific basis.
Tfis is cardinal point in Chris an
Science healing, that 1t is God divine
Mind, that does the healing ani no,
iluman -hought. In Christian Science
