We all aim to be better healers and problem-solvers. We can be. What inhibits our success sometimes is that we let ourselves be deflected from the real issues.
Suppose we're short of money. A surface analysis might suggest that the conflict is between our financial lack on the one hand and the demands of our creditors on the other. If we stop short at that point, we may conclude superficially that we have somehow to use Christian Science to get more money into our bank account so we can pay our bills. But the conflict is not our lack versus the financial demands being made on us. Always the conflict is between divine Spirit and matter. And, Spirit being All, the conflict is supposititious.
Seeing this, we've made a fundamental spiritual analysis of the situation and are equipped to demonstrate the basic spiritual solution. The common factor in all problems is our acceptance of the reality of a matter world in which there appears to be not enough of anything good and too much of what is not good. The matter world and all the items that comprise it is finite. But in divine Spirit's realm substance and good are never lacking, never in the wrong place or inaccessible. The basic issue here is not financial—not the shortage of money and the demand of someone else to have what we've got—but is our belief in matter holding up our wholehearted admission of boundless Spirit.
