Telepathy is defined in the Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia...

Telepathy is defined in the Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia as "the direct communication of one mind with another otherwise than in ordinary and recognized ways; the supposed action of one mind on another at a distance without the use of words, looks, gestures, or other material signs; also, the resulting mental state or affection." Reference to "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the text-book on Christian Science, written by Mrs. Eddy, reveals the fact that Christian Science teaches the existence of but one Mind—the divine creative intelligence, the fount of all knowledge, the source and author of all mental activities and their resultant manifestations. The Bible teaches that God, Mind, is infinite good, and that He created man in the image and likeness of good. Christian Science teaches logically that man, created in God's likeness, is subject to the influence of divine intelligence alone, and that this intelligence radiates only that which is good, pure, elevating. The carnal mind, which the apostle Paul taught is "enmity against God," and "not subject to the law of God," should not be regarded as a safe guide, whose influence would elevate and purify. Telepathy is the logical opposite of Christian Science, since the latter acknowledges no power or influence other than that of divine Mind, God.

Dwelling in the consciousness of infinite good as his primal source and ultimate inheritance, man cannot become the arena for the parade and display of the forces of evil. When Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," he gave to mankind a definite rule by which they might escape the evil influences of the carnal mind, and abide ever under the protecting and saving influence of that Mind in whose image and likeness man was created.
