in Christian Science healing Their,
| is no thought transference, for morta
mind is not factor in the healing
The divine mind being omnipresent
the human knowing of the truth re
garding a sick man at a distanc,
brings truth to bear on the case the
same as if he were near by. In Spiri
there is no space, no time, and no sicl
man. All Is infinite Mind and its per
feet ever-present ideas.
at is important to see that Christian
Science healing includes denial of er
ror as we'll as the affirmation of truth
the reason for this being that the BELIEF
in matter, sin and disease is so fixed
in the human consciousness that 8
specific denial helps to weaken and
destroy that belief This denial can be
made only from the basis of spiritual
truth, 1t is but the reverse side of the
declaration of truth, and it is truth
alone not the denial which heals. In
deed the keynote of Christian Science
healing is the knowing of the allness
Of Spirit, and the nothingness of mat
ter.
Summary.
ITO epitomize, in Christian Science
healing we first must know the nature
and character of the divine reality,
then see that what is termed material
existence is wholly mental and that
sin, disease, and death are not of God,
but are manifestations of erroneous
cto Of brrp cpin,cnaoc and
therefore neither true nor authorita-
tive. We thus perceive that we do not
have to be sick, for God did not make
us so. When spiritual knowing domi-
mates consciousness, the error-banish-
ing influence of divine truth and love
establishes harmony.
CAS- with the healing of sickness, so
is it with the healing of sin, the over
coming of evil. We must see that it is
not God, divine mind; that it is there
fore unreal and powerless and no part
of man. This correction of thought
with divine truth destroys the error,
the impulse to do wrong. Sin causes
suffering so long as it is believed and
INDUCED in, but when sin is mastered
and the evil thought destroyed, man is
set free from this bondage and beoins
to experience the promised liberty of
the sons of God.
Christian Science is thus seen to be
reformatory and regenerative. 1t up
lifts consciousness, brings man nearer
to God, and makes him better ac-
puainted with his own true selfhood.
1t improves him morally and physical
ly, which improvement continues as
his spiritual development progresses.
ITO the Ephesians St. Paul writes:
This l say therefore, and testify in
the Lord, that we henceforth walk not
as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of
their mind,
"'Having the understanding darken-
ed, being alienated from the life of
God through the ignorance that is in
them, because of the blindness of their
heart:
THAT We put off concerning the
former conversation the old man (the
material consciousness) which is cor
rupt according to the deceitful lusts;
"'And be renewed in the spirit of
your mind;
land that We put on the new man
(the spiritual consciousness), which
after God is created in righteousness
and true holiness.
Wherefore putting away lying.
speak every man truth with his neigh
Dor: for we are members one of an
other (Eph. AIT, 18, 22-25).
