The ability to detect error in human thought and bring about correction is fundamental to Christian healing. The Christian Science text-book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, says, "Acquaintance with the Science of being enables us to commune more largely with the divine Mind, to foresee and foretell events which concern the universal welfare, to be divinely inspired,—yea, to reach the range of fetterless Mind." Science and Health, p.84.
This kind of perspicacity doesn't involve clairvoyance, and it isn't mind reading in the usual meaning of this term. As the textbook says: "There is mortal mind-reading and immortal Mind-reading. The latter is a revelation of divine purpose through spiritual understanding, by which man gains the divine Principle and explanation of all things." Ibid., p. 83.
Here's an illustration. A large law firm had major trouble with its computers over a long period of time. They tried everything they could think of to determine the cause and to remedy the problem. They went so far as to purchase new computers at great expense, install new software, and hire the best technicians in the industry, but the troubles continued. It was as if their system were "haunted."
