"A strong defence"
Christian Scientists are assured by their Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (pp. 234, 235), that "evil thoughts, lusts, and malicious purposes cannot go forth, like wandering pollen, from one human mind to another, finding unsuspected lodgment, if virtue and truth build a strong defence."
How may one build "a strong defence" against "evil thoughts, lusts, and malicious purposes"?
God is Mind, and all true thinking is the expression of Mind. Evil thoughts, therefore, are not real, because they are not the product of infinite and eternal Mind. They have no place, power, influence, or activity. The real man is spiritual, perfect complete, whole, and harmonious. He cannot receive or harbor evil thoughts, for there is no place for them in man, the full and perfect expression of God, infinite Mind.
