What is required to heal in Christian Science? Understanding God's love for His creation? Seeing man as a perfect spiritual idea rather than as a mortal entity?
What does it take to heal a difficult case, one that has seemed to resist treatment for some time? Steadfastness in the truth? A refusal to become discouraged? A realization that the trouble was never true, that it has no history and is only a present belief about the past?
And what about national and world problems that can seem so intractable? Do we need a more thorough acceptance that there is only one universe and that it is totally spiritual and good? An understanding that God governs His creation in perfect harmony through immutable divine law?
