Thought's Images

Nothing can be imaged forth in form unless it exists in consciousness. What?? I know, I know. You may say you had never heard of such and such disease until you got it. Well, collective consciousness counts, too. Yikes! So how do we keep from contracting every disease and imaging forth all the horrors of the world? This is exactly what Gary Renard tells us in "The Disappearance of the Universe" and what Mary Baker Eddy means by "there is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter". When we put more faith in matter than Spirit, then, yes, we are subject to every little quirk of the universe. On the other hand, the realization of our true Being puts us under no government but that of divine Mind. It may seem impossible to come out from under the tent of materiality in favor of Spirit. I've had enough glimpses to know it is, indeed, very possible, but it takes work. When you listen to detailed stories of disease, it becomes embedded in consciousness. I'm never surprised when something jumps out of that vast forever and gets lodged within my brain, but I do negate it in thought -- to the best of my ability. And practice does make perfect, so I won't give up!

“Disease is always induced by a false sense mentally entertained, not destroyed. Disease is an image of thought externalized. The  mental state is called a material state. Whatever is cherished in mortal mind as the physical condition is imaged forth on the body." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 411:21
