Healing through Christian Science
In the discussion so far We have APP
reached the answer to the second
phase of Il subject, namely. How
does Christian Science heal In other
words. just what Is the method en-
ployed by Christian Scientists In heal
ing all manner of discord, lack and
disease? A complete answer to this
question cannot be given in a shor
lecture. In replying to a very similar
question, Mrs. Eddy declares tScience
and Health. p. 493), "A full answer to
the above question involves teaching
which enables the healer to demon
strate and prove for himseli
the Principle and rule of Christian
Science or metaphysical healing
Thorough, consistent study Of Science
and Health and Mrs. Eddy's Other
writings not only teaches us how
Christian Science heals, but it viii
enable any sincere student to hea
himself and others.
The first requirement in the healing
activity is to learn the true nature o
God. We have agreed together tina
God is supreme intelligence or Mind
the only possible creative power O
cause. In the Glossary Of Science ant
Health (p. $50 We find this definl
ton: God. The great | am; the all
knowing, %all-seeing, all-acting, all
wise. ALLOWING, and eternal: Prir
ciple; Mind: Soul; Spirit: Life
Truth; Love; all substance: INTEL
%ence.' On page 465 Of our textbool
, Mrs. Eddy tells lis that the seven sync
nyms for God which she uses in tn
, definition just quoted are "intende
to express the nature, essence. an
Wilderness OF Deity" Christian Sciel
lists find inspiration, Joy. and healin
through learning more OF Gods whole
ness or completeness, as they prayei
fully consider these synonymou
r terms.
From a background OF a constant
expanding appreciation OF Gods eve
present omnipotence and infinite low
we learn to heal through Christia
Science. We learn to heal as we rea
ize that the spiritual man of God
q creating must be as perfect as h
q creator.
The True Nature Of Man
Let us consider together the fir
sentence in Mrs. Eddy's definition
~ man, to be found on page ATS Of o.
m textbook: Man Is not matter; he
!, not made up Of brain, blood, bone
!. and other material elements" He
completely this statement denies
!. the evidence Of the material sense
No thinking person could read such
:, revolutionary d eclaration witho
wishing to learn on what authority
could be made. The next sentence
81 the definition gives the answer: 1T
Scriptures inform us that man Is ma
in the image and likeness Of Coz
- Mrs. Eddy is referring tc the III
-. chapter Of Genesis, where We recel
~ this information. And God said,
us make man in our image, after {
likeness So God created man In
a. own image. in the image Of G
I" created he him, male and fem
created he them And God s
!. everything that he had made, a
behold, It was very good" Spirit
an man, the exact likeness Of infin
100 Spirit, must express the goodness,
perfection, Of his creative Principle
Father.
