Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

EXCHANGING FALSE CONCEPTS FOR TRUE IDEAS

ON page 531 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mrs. Eddy makes the following statement: "The human mind will sometime rise above all material and physical sense, exchanging it for spiritual perception, and exchanging human concepts for the divine consciousness.

TRUE WISDOM

SUCCESS is often supposed to mean the amassing of money, the increasing of profits, the piling up of the things which can be seen with the eyes or touched by the hands. The desire for, or love of, material possessions carries with it the wish to have one's wealth seen and admired by others.

"CONFIRMING THE WORD"

CHRIST JESUS promised his disciples that every form of error could be healed by spiritual means. This was his command: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

NO HALFWAY POSITION

WE do not find it recorded in the New Testament that our Wayshower, Christ Jesus, ever employed a material remedy in the cure of the sick or sinning. He never divided his allegiance between Spirit and matter, good and evil.

THE ATMOSPHERE OF SOUL

A VISION of a snow-capped mountain once brought to a student of Christian Science a wonderful sense of the value of uplifted thought. The term "mountain" is used in Scripture to typify an exalted state of consciousness wherein spiritual vision is gained.

EFFECTUAL PRAYER

" THE effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much," says the Apostle James. To be effective, then, prayer must depend upon what may be termed its standpoint and quality.

THE CHEMISTRY OF SPIRIT

WHAT may be termed "spiritual chemistry" is radical, going to the basis of thought. While material chemistry deals with elemental material substances, their combinations and their action on one another, spiritual chemistry has to do entirely with Truth acting on human thought through the Science of divine Mind.
