Day 294: Error

Day 213: Startle Mortal Mind
Tell the sick that they can meet disease fearlessly, if they only realize that divine Love gives them all power over every physical action and condition.
Tell him that he suffers only as the insane suffer, from false beliefs.
Insist vehemently on the great fact which covers the whole ground, that God, Spirit, is all, and that there is none beside Him. There is no disease.

Day 196: Pseudo-mental Testimony
This pseudo-mental testimony can be destroyed only by the better results of Mind's opposite evidence.

Day 195: Mentally Overworked?
Because mortal mind is kept active, must it pay the penalty in a softened brain? Who dares to say that actual Mind can be overworked? When we reach our limits of mental endurance, we conclude that intellectual labor has been carried sufficiently far; but when we realize that immortal Mind is ever active, and that spiritual energies can neither wear out nor can so-called material law trespass upon God-given powers and resources, we are able to rest in Truth, refreshed by the assurances of immortality, opposed to mortality.

Day 161: Jesus & the Jews
[the Jews’] material views were the parents of their wicked deeds
He knew of but one Mind and laid no claim to any other. He knew that the Ego was Mind instead of body and that matter, sin, and evil were not Mind;

Day 152: Death of Material Sense
The death of a false material sense and of sin, not the death of organic matter, is what reveals man and Life, harmonious, real, and eternal.
An improved belief is one step out of error, and aids in taking the next step and in understanding the situation in Christian Science.
Until belief becomes faith, and faith becomes spiritual understanding, human thought has little relation to the actual or divine.

Day 150: Material Sense
The five physical senses are the avenues and instruments of human error, and they correspond with error. These senses indicate the common human belief, that life, substance, and intelligence are a unison of matter with Spirit. This is pantheism, and carries within itself the seeds of all error. If man is both mind and matter, the loss of one finger would take away some quality and quantity of the man, for matter and man would be one.

Day 148: Postulates of Christian Science
To suppose that sin, lust, hatred, envy, hypocrisy, revenge, have life abiding in them, is a terrible mistake. Life and Life's idea, Truth and Truth's idea, never make men sick, sinful, or mortal.
The spiritual fact and the material belief of things are contradictions; but the spiritual is true, and therefore the material must be untrue.
The chief stones in the temple of Christian Science are to be found in the following postulates: that Life is God, good, and not evil; that Soul is sinless, not be found in the body; that Spirit is not, and cannot be, materialized; that Life is not subject to death; that the spiritual real man has no birth, no material life, and no death.
