Growth in the understanding and demonstration of Christian Science is dependent upon the extent of one's obedience to God, the creative, governing divine Principle of all existence.
Until people understand the distinction made by Christian Science between the material sense of existence and the spiritual sense of it, the sense which is native to God's man, His image, their efforts to heal spiritually are certain to be ineffective.
One of the essential steps in effective prayer is to silence corporeal sense in order that one may hear the evidence of Spirit and feel the healing energy of divine Love.
