We can learn to erase from thought images of disease or injury. This is an important ability, for it heals. Essentially, when the image is gone, the trouble is gone.
Disease is composed of its outline and conditions imaged and entertained in mortal consciousness. But images of disease, we can prove, are false pictures. They have no built-in capacity, no ability, to lay groundwork for their emergence on the body. They have no actual, God-established existence. From a scientific point of view, the physical body itself exists only as a deceptive outline in a bogus consciousness, a supposed mortal consciousness.
In aiding others to overcome illness through Christian Science, healers have this practical direction in Science and Health: "Give them divine and wholesome understanding, with which to combat their erroneous sense, and so efface the images of sickness from mortal mind." Science and Health, p. 396.
