IMPORTANCE OF THE COUNTERFACT

RICHARD H. CHASE

Since time began, mortals have believed in the reality of disease and discord; and so have considered them part of existence. Since the advent of Christian Science, people have been learning that man is the son of God, created in the image of divine Spirit. Hence, man is not material, but spiritual; and because his true embodiment is composed of spiritual substance, flawless and harmonious, he cannot experience disease. Thus individuals are being awakened to the deception of material existence and are discovering that inharmony of all kinds is an illusion of the physical senses, to be destroyed by a realization of true being.

What is the result of this awakening to the real nature of man? Simply this: that individuals have been encouraged to challenge the claims of matter and human thinking, and to question their reality, reliability, and authority. And to what result? The attainment of harmony in every direction; because, as Mary Baker Eddy states in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 346 ), "Disbelief in error destroys error, and leads to the discernment of Truth."
