Health Is Wholeness

DOROTHY M. ROGERS

Health is wholeness—a whole body, a whole mind. Pondering the subject of health, one finds that a healthy outlook brings human experience into proportion. In daily affairs a healthy situation has no area that is weak, neglected, or missing. Healthy family living expresses fullness, harmony, and unified completeness, a manifestation of sound thinking and acting.

It is important, however, to understand spiritually why and how we are whole. "Christian Science destroys material beliefs through the understanding of Spirit, and the thoroughness of this work determines health." So writes Mrs. Eddy on page 186 of the textbook, Science and Health. The real man includes all good because he is the infinite idea of infinite, divine Principle, Love. Wholeness is the state of his being. Health is a spiritual quality of man that is his by reflection. Man is always complete.

When we intelligently acknowledge God as Mind, we find that there is no power able to interfere with our ability to discern clearly our divine source. We can express God actively and joyously because God is our Life. Our spiritual heritage is eternal.
