Scientific Conviction Brings Healing

BURTON ROBERT LESTER

A question has long concerned me: How do we know when we are healed in Christian Science? We can't look to matter to see if it is improving or changing, because what is unreal to start with can't testify truthfully to its own unreality. Consequently, examining matter would tend to perpetuate the false belief in material conditions and so delay the healing.

But we can look upon human consciousness as a kind of barometer of our spiritual understanding.
