Unclasp the Hold of False Belief

ELIZABETH E. SWEDER

As false beliefs, illusions, rather than immovable realities—this is how Christian Science treats sin and disease. Establishing clearly in consciousness the allness of God, good, and the nothingness of matter, the Christian Scientist corrects such beliefs, and healing is the result.

Discord is always false belief. But if discord doesn't yield readily to scientific prayer, we may need to see more clearly that false belief is not a thing to be rooted out of consciousness; it is just a mistaken concept with no power to attach itself to us.

It is helpful to remember that any evil belief is unknown to God and therefore unknown to man, who reflects the infinite divine Mind. Such beliefs have no authority or power, even if generally accepted to be true.
