The Science of mental practice is susceptible of no 410:24 misuse. Selfishness does not appear in the practice of Truth or Christian Science. If mental prac- tice is abused or is used in any way except to 410:27 promote right thinking and doing, the power to heal mentally will diminish, until the practitioner's healing ability is wholly lost. Christian scientific practice be- 410:30 gins with Christ's keynote of harmony, "Be not afraid!" 411:1 Said Job: "The thing which I greatly feared is come upon me." Naming diseases 411:3 My first discovery in the student's practice was this: If the student silently called the disease by name, when he argued against it, as a general rule the body 411:6 would respond more quickly, - just as a per- son replies more readily when his name is spoken; but this was because the student was not perfectly attuned to 411:9 divine Science, and needed the arguments of truth for reminders. If Spirit or the power of divine Love bear witness to the truth, this is the ultimatum, the scientific 411:12 way, and the healing is instantaneous. Evils cast out It is recorded that once Jesus asked the name of a dis- ease, - a disease which moderns would call /dementia/. 411:15 The demon, or evil, replied that his name was Legion. Thereupon Jesus cast out the evil, and the insane man was changed and straightway be- 411:18 came whole. The Scripture seems to import that Jesus caused the evil to be self-seen and so destroyed. Fear as the foundation The procuring cause and foundation of all sickness is 411:21 fear, ignorance, or sin. Disease is always induced by a false sense mentally entertained, not destroyed. Disease is an image of thought externalized. 411:24 The mental state is called a material state. Whatever is cherished in mortal mind as the physical condition is imaged forth on the body.
