It teaches that healing is always mental and that it occurs in the degree that we let go of the belief in a mind or power apart from God and acknowledge that divine Mind, or Principle, is unopposed, is indeed All-in-all.

DYNAMIC HUMILITY

In the Beatitudes, Jesus stressed the necessity for meekness. He blessed the poor in spirit, the meek, and those "which do hunger and thirst after righteousness" and promised them that they should possess the kingdom of heaven, inherit the earth, be filled.

EVIL IS NOT ENTRENCHED

" Hearken unto me, ye that know A righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. For.
