No matter what "ills" appear to be in our lives, there is no law which says we are condemned to suffer. It's a mistaken belief that we are victims of heredity, or subject to communicable disease, or any of the myriad problems which seem so real in our collective and individual thought. It can be very difficult to take ourselves out of the perpetual loop of dis-ease. It often seems impossible to realize Truth in our life, while living amongst the constant flow of erroneous thoughts. Every instance of turning away from material illusion, and seeing with the spiritual sense we're developing, is a cause for celebration! Each revelation is a step toward salvation from the trap of victimhood. The knowledge of what is Truth and what is illusion lifts us past the thoughts which hold us trapped in sickness and inharmony. It's not by trying to rid ourselves of illusions that we are freed; it's by knowing what Truth is. With Truth as the only reality in our thought, error has no room to take hold, and it disappears into the nothingness which is its only reality. Now that's something to celebrate!
“The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus' time, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation. Now, as then, these mighty works are not supernatural, but supremely natural."
Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page xi:9-15
“There is no place where holiness is not, and nowhere sin and sickness can abide.
This is the thought that cures. It does not make distinctions among unrealities. Nor does it seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the need for healing is. This is no magic. It is merely an appeal to truth, which cannot fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a thought that judges an illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form it takes. It merely focuses on what it is, and knows that no illusion can be real.”
