Man's Dominion

MYRTLE NORDSTROM RUSSELL

Whatever is not of God, whatever is not of Truth, is an unreality, a false belief, untrue; and one has dominion over the suggestions that evil is necessary to one's well-being and can control one against one's will. One has Scriptural authority for this dominion, for the Bible states plainly that God created man in His likeness, or image, and that He gave him dominion.

Evil, whether it calls itself an illness, a difficulty, sin, or sorrow, is a lie, a belief in a power, mind, and life apart from God, Spirit. But evil is never a person, a place, or a thing; it is an impersonal nonentity. Separated from an individual, evil is rendered helpless, harmless, inoperative. And always evil is falsely mental, a supposition, but always an illusion, a base deception.

Healing in Christian Science is the demonstration of man's dominion. Healing is spiritually mental, always a change from material finite thinking to some degree of spiritual understanding of the perfection of God and of man plus a life consistent with such realization.
