If we are seeking healing, a good question to ask ourselves is, "Am I looking for healing to appear in the body or in consciousness?"
Is the aim of Christian Science treatment to heal matter or to heal thought? This Science explains that a discordant or diseased condition is always the manifestation of erroneous or fearful thinking, a false concept of life. Scientific healing cannot, then, result from treating the physical discord. Our need is to deal with the mental error. Whether we succeed in demonstrating health or not depends basically on where we are looking for healing to appear.
We have the promise of the Master, Christ Jesus: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32; And we have Mrs. Eddy's reminder: "We must recollect that Truth is demonstrable when understood, and that good is not understood until demonstrated." Science and Health, p. 323; How important, then, to gain not only spiritual understanding but also a correct appreciation of what demonstration really means.
