The Christian Science healing method

HELEN McKEE SENGEBUSH

How do you view yourself? The answer to this question determines the method you use to heal any afflictive physical conditions you may face. If you are a Christian Scientist or are looking into this religion, you are at least beginning to think of yourself as a creation of God and resisting the temptation to think of yourself as a mortal. You are discovering your innocency as God's idea. This innocency, lived, heals physical discord.

Do you find it hard to think of yourself as a spiritual idea and perhaps even harder to think of others this way? The body you get out of bed in the morning, dress, feed, and take to work doesn't resemble a spiritual idea at all.

All good activity can be reduced to thought—to an expression of right purpose, intelligence, order, and love. These are God-derived qualities. As an individual, you express these qualities of your creator in a unique way. By crediting God with them and cherishing them, you find that ungodlike thoughts and tendencies begin to fall away. Knowing yourself as God's idea and casting out as unreal these evil elements with their attendant bodily discords is the Christian Science method of healing. It is the proper way to remove physical affliction.
