Day 231: Mental Quackery

457:7-458:31

This reading is about dividing yourself between the material solution and the spiritual solution. Yesterday’s quote about guilt and self-condemnation come to mind in this light. Also the idea that my direction in spirituality must progress.

A couple of ideas I obviously need to work on:

It is anything but scientifically Christian to think of aiding the divine Principle of healing or of trying to sustain the human body until the divine Mind is ready to take the case. Divinity is always ready.

The Christianly scientific man reflects the divine law, thus becoming a law unto himself. He does violence to no man. Neither is he a false accuser. The Christian Scientist wisely shapes his course, and is honest and consistent in following the leadings of divine Mind. He must prove, through living as well as healing and teaching, that Christ’s way is the only one by which mortals are radically saved from sin and sickness.
