Dear Brother: I have been frequently asked, How do you diagnosticate a case? and I have been berated severely for my wrong diagnosis. My reply is this: Jesus of Nazareth did not teach diagnosis, and Science does not teach diagnosis; so I do not diagnosticate my cases. No matter how it is done, it is wrong.
When people ask, Do you not focus the mind? I answer, Science And Health does not teach focussing the mind.
If asked, Do you not pray by invocation? I answer, No; Jesus and Christian Science do not teach us to pray by invocation, but to pray by declaration, affirmation, realization, understanding.
