The mortal mind which says, "I am sick," has no legitimate authority to use the word "I." Because of this, we may exercise our God-given prerogative to deny mortal mind its claim to being or having ego. We may then speak truthfully of ourselves,' saying, "I am well," and demonstrate that well-being is an actual fact.
The real man reflects the divine Ego, which is God. This Ego is not centered in a physical locality; it is everywhere present. It is divine Principle, Love; it is Life; it is Truth; it is Soul. It exists everywhere; it radiates love everywhere; it manifests aliveness everywhere; it presents perfection everywhere; it shines forth in harmony and beauty everywhere. Because of the limitless nature of the Ego, recognition of its omnipresence can heal a particular case of disease whether the patient is in the same room or miles away from the one who recognizes the truth. Jesus proved this in healing the centurion's servant (see Matt. 8:5—13). Christian Science proves this today, healing diseases even though the patient is not in the immediate presence of the practitioner.
The divine Ego is not identified with any particular point in time. It is ever present. "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Ps. 90:2). The Ego does not need to go back through time to correct a mistake. Jesus demonstrated this in healing the man who had been blind from birth. Christian Science demonstrates this today with healings of inharmonious conditions arising from accidents or errors of the past.
