Beholding and Visualizing

Healing occurs in Christian Science when we spiritually behold what actually exists. Merely visualizing what we want to be true does not accomplish anything.

God, not man, made all, and He made it good. The healing process is one of spiritually beholding what God has made. Evil, which He did not make, then disappears. The reason it disappears is that its existence, so called, is only as a thought image, and this thought image is in a mind which is not God. We call this mind "mortal mind."

Mortal mind visualizes its own images, and they are false. These images include all that God did not make—all illusions—and they have names. Sin, sickness, discord, lack, limitation, fear, uncertainty, chance, obstruction, confusion, death, are some of these names. These are the objects of mortal mind's visualizing. We can destroy any one of these objects, or illusions, scientifically by recognizing it for what it is and by beholding the truth in its place.
