Chapter VIII - Footsteps Of Truth
219:1
pain, weakness, weariness, sorrow, sin, death, will be
pain, weakness, weariness, sorrow, sin, death, will be
unknown, and the mortal dream will forever cease. My
method of treating fatigue applies to all bodily ailments,
since Mind should be, and is, supreme, absolute, and
final.
Affirmation and result
219:6
In mathematics, we do not multiply when we should
In mathematics, we do not multiply when we should
subtract, and then say the product is correct. No more
can we say in Science that muscles give strength,
that nerves give pain or pleasure, or that matter
governs, and then expect that the result will be harmony.
Not muscles, nerves, nor bones, but mortal mind makes
the whole body "sick, and the whole heart faint;" whereas
divine Mind heals.
219:14
When this is understood, we shall never affirm concern-
When this is understood, we shall never affirm concern-
ing the body what we do not wish to have manifested. We
shall not call the body weak, if we would have it strong;
for the belief in feebleness must obtain in the human
mind before it can be made manifest on the body, and
the destruction of the belief will be the removal of its
effects. Science includes no rule of discord, but governs
harmoniously. "The wish," says the poet, "is ever father
to the thought."
Scientific beginning
219:23
We may hear a sweet melody, and yet misunderstand
We may hear a sweet melody, and yet misunderstand
the science that governs it. Those who are healed
through metaphysical Science, not compre-
hending the Principle of the cure, may misun-
derstand it, and impute their recovery to change of air or
diet, not rendering to God the honor due to Him alone.
Entire immunity from the belief in sin, suffering, and
death may not be reached at this period, but we may look
for an abatement of these evils; and this scientific begin-
ning is in the right direction.
