Some people yield slowly to the touch of Truth. Few without a struggle, and many are reluctant to acknowledge that they have yielded; but unless this admission is made, evil will boast itself above good.
The Christian Scientist has enlisted to lessen evil, disease, and death; and he (she) will overcome them by understanding their NOTHINGNESS and the ALLNESS of God, or good. Sickness to him (her) is no less a temptation than is sin, and he (she) heals them both by understanding God's power over them. The Christian Scientist knows that they are errors of belief, which Truth can and will destroy.

It is the prerogative of the ever-present, divine Mind, and of thought which is in rapport with this Mind, to know the past, the present, and the future.
Acquaintance with the Science of being enables us to commune more largely with the divine Mind, to foresee and foretell events which concern the universal wellfare, to be divinely inspired-yea, to reach the range of fetterless Mind.
To understand that Mind is infinite, not bounded by corporeality, not dependent upon the ear and eye for sound or sight nor upon muscles and bones for locomotion, is a step toward the Mind-science by which we discern man's nature and existence. This true conception of being destroys the belief of spiritualism at its very inceptiom, for without the concession of material personalities called spirits, spiritualism has no basis upon which to build.
All we correctly know of Spirit comes from God, divine Principle, and is learned thru Christ and Christian Science. If this Science has been thoroughly learned and properly digested, we can know the truth more accurately than the astronomer can read the stars or calculate an eclipse.
THIS Mind-reading is the opposite of clairvoyance. It is the illumination of the spiritual understanding which demonstrates the capacity of Soul, not of matterial sense. This Soul-sense comes to human mind when the latter yields to the divine Mind.
Such intuitions reveal whatever constitutes and perpetuates HARMONY, enabling one to do good, but not evil.
You will reach the perfect Science of healimng when you are able to read the human mind after this manner and discern the error you would destroy.
(((I was totally amazed this past weekend when I read to u a few paragraphs out of this book and immediately u spoke out the point of them in a few concise words! It took me several times to read and reread those same words to come to those conclusions that u grasped and spoke back. to me immediately. :-). U r all that God has shown me u r and a whole lot MORE!!! :-) )))
