Science and Health
Christian Science destroys material beliefs thru the understanding of Spirit, and the thoroughness of this work determined health.
Erring human mind-forces can work only evil under whatever name or pretence they r employed; for Spirit and matter, good and evil, light and darkness, cannot mingle.
Evil is a negation, because it is the absence of truth.
It is NOTHING, because it is the absence of something. It is UNreal, because it presupposes the absence of God, the omnipotent and omnipresent. Every mortal must learn that there is neither power nor reality in evil.
Evil is self-assertive. It says: I am a real entity, overmastering good. This falsehood should strip evil of all pretentions. The ONLY power of EVIL is to DESTROY ITSELF. Every attempt of evil to destroy good is a failure, and only aids in preemptorily punishing the evil-doer.
Mortal mind is ignorant of self, or it could never be self-deceived. If mortal mind knew how to be better, it would be better. Since it must believe in something besides itself; it enthrones matter as diety.
The human mind has been an idolater from the beginning, having other gods and believing in more than one Mind.
As mortals do not comprehend even mortal existence, how ignorant must that be of the all-knowing Mind and His creations.
Here u may see how so-called material sense creates its own form of thought, gives them material names, and then worships and FEARS them. With pagan blindness, it attributes to some material god or medicine an ability beyond itself. The beliefs of the human mind rob and enslave it, and then impute this result to another illusive personification, named satan.
What is termed disease does not exist. It is neither mind nor matter. The belief in sin, which has grown terrible in strength and influence, is an unconscious error in the beginning-an embryonic thought without motive; but afterwards it governs the so-called man.
Passion, depraved appetites, dishonesty, envy, hatred, revenge ripen into action, only to pass from shame and woe to their final punishment.
Sickness is a growth of error, springing from mortal ignorance or FEAR. Error rehearses error. What causes disease cannot cure it. The soil of disease is mortal mind, and u have an abundant or scanty crop of disease, according to the seedlings of FEAR. Sin and FEAR (false evidence appearing real-fear) of disease must be uprooted and cast out.
In like manner mortals should no more deny the power of Christian Science to establish harmony and to explain the effect of mortal mind on the body, tho the cause be unseen, than they should deny the existence of the sunlight when the orb of day disappears, or doubt that the sun will reappear.
The sins of others should not make good men suffer.
The human mortal mind, by an inevitable perversion, makes all things start from the lowest instead of from the highest mortal thought.
The reverse is the case with all the formations of the immortal divine Mind. They proceed from the divine source; and so, in tracing them, we constantly ascend in infinite being!
Tonight Ez is helping u! He took those stone cold fears of urs and is turning them to dust with his hammer. I'm fixin' to sweep them off my front porch...and out of ur life!
Dust to dust only applies to fear!
We are immortal! We don't die! Fear dies! We don't!
