Science of Mind's Technique
The Science of Mind provides us with a definite technique for
the use of this Law and teaches how each one can use It in freeing himself
and demonstrating to his complete satisfaction that right ideas, correctly
used, can and must produce right conditions.
So far, neither science, revelation, nor philosophy has arrived at any
conclusion which could disturb this proposition, and every day the physical
sciences are more completely proving that the physical universe in which we
live is more like a gigantic thought than anything else. Now if the physical
universe, or the cosmos as a whole, is more like a gigantic thought than anything
else, it follows that our immediate world is a part of this thought.
How amazed we all should be if we awoke some fine morning, not only with
the absolute conviction that this is so, but also with the inner insight which
would enable us to see exactly what it means. Then we too should be able to
say to the paralyzed man, "stretch forth thine hand!" But before
we can do this we must see the principle of freedom instead of the belief
in a paralysis of this principle.
The Science of Mind is a reinterpretation of the universe by a process
of thought which Jesus used. We learn that there is one body, the body of
right ideas. Jesus sensed this Body of God, which includes man's body, as
a perfect, harmonious unit, and he realized that the evil which binds man
is not a principle within itself nor a thing of itself, and most certainly
not a person, but merely a false system of thought. He understood that his
knowledge of good annihilated that which denied good. This fundamental fact
he clearly brought out in his teaching; the Truth known is followed by the
Truth demonstrated.
The Science of Mind does not necessarily create a new religion or sect,
for it may be added to any spiritual system of thought since it is a complement
to all. The person who already has the greatest spiritual faith will make
the most active demonstrator of Truth. The person who naturally has a spiritual
insight or who has already trained himself to have spiritual insight, will
more quickly sense the truths which the Science of Mind portrays. He will
more quickly lay hold of its technique and more perfectly demonstrate for
himself and others that the invisible is the cause of the visible.
