Opposing mentality
Under divine Providence there can be no accidents,
since there is no room for imperfection in perfection.
In medical practice objections would be raised if one
doctor should administer a drug to counteract the work-
ing of a remedy prescribed by another doctor.
It is equally important in metaphysical prac-
tice that the minds which surround your patient should
not act against your influence by continually expressing
such opinions as may alarm or discourage, - either by
giving antagonistic advice or through unspoken thoughts
resting on your patient. While it is certain that the
divine Mind can remove any obstacle, still you need the
ear of your auditor. It is not more difficult to make your-
self heard mentally while others are thinking about your
patients or conversing with them, if you understand
Christian Science - the oneness and the allness of divine
Love; but it is well to be alone with God and the sick
when treating disease.
