The moral demand of metaphysical healing

From the May 1984 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A primary demand of metaphysical healing is to acknowledge that discord is always in the realm of belief, never a reality. Human ills are mentally entrenched beliefs outwardly manifested. When we begin to understand more of the nature of God, Spirit, as the Bible and Christian Science reveal Him, and gain more spiritual views of His universe, including His man, these beliefs are exposed as false, erroneous concepts that need to be rejected and replaced with the truth of being.

If we are willing to apply prayerfully the absolute truth we are learning to the problems at hand, our consciousness is increasingly purified, spiritualized, through the action of Christ, Truth, and our human experience becomes more harmonious. This, very briefly, is the metaphysical method of Christian Science healing.

Integral to the divine metaphysics of healing is the moral demand to see the total unreality of error or evil. By denouncing with our very heart and soul every error that confronts us, no matter how fixed it may appear, and attributing all power and glory to God, we fulfill the first commandment. This brings evidence of Truth's inevitable victory over error.
