Healing July 8, 1972 Issue

[Ability to demonstrate Christian Science comes with study and practice of the truth taught by Christ Jesus and revealed in Science and Health. This series touches upon some ways in which this truth can be applied.]

Healing through listening to Mind

God, the divine Mind, is the healer in every case. He is the only Mind, the perfect, harmonious consciousness of every identity that He creates.

Acknowledge this great fact by humbly listening for His thoughts. Mind's silent impartations reach the gentle and the meek of heart, and they bring health and harmony. Know that no mind exists to cause thoughts of fear and discord. Mrs. Eddy writes, "The basis of all health, sinlessness, and immortality is the great fact that God is the only Mind; and this Mind must be not merely believed, but it must be understood."^{ Science and Health, p. 339;}

If disease seems aggressive, recognize clearly that pain and weakness are hypnotic in origin. They are lying suggestions of the mortal, or carnal, mind—a mind that has no space to occupy or law to sustain it. Refuse to be fooled by this falsehood. In expectant, humble prayer listen for the healing ideas that divine Love, the only real Mind, is constantly imparting to man.
