How to Defeat it with Spiritual Purpose & Monitoring?

How to defeat Evil ~ Treatment ~ 57 m MP3

What is your Life's Purpose? 
One's life should be based on at least one important purpose. It should include blessing other people with good thought, speech & action. Money is the most deceitful, self destructive purpose anyone could conceive of. It's beyond conception. It's beyond understanding. What one may think of as being able to be a solution to everything is self destructive, and therefore is a solution to nothing. And in fact, it even aggravates applying to the people or activities that was originally intended. Qualities satisfy but money does not.Instead of bringing fulfillment, it blinds one. It conceals and deceives one of the purpose. Monitoring is probably the second most important term to think of in terms of fulfilling the purpose. Mathematics is truth but deceitful purposes use figures to deceive. Focus on the activity, not any personalities...

3. Tenets of Christian Science

Tenets of Christian Science PDF

Question. — Have Christian Scientists any religious creed? 
Answer. — They have not, if by that term is meant doctrinal beliefs.
The following is a brief exposition of the important points, or religious tenets, of Christian Science: 
1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life. 
2. We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God. We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in God's image and likeness.
3.  We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts.
4. We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death.
5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter.
6. And we solemnly promise to watch, and pray for that Mind to be in us which was also in Christ Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure.Show all

4. Platform
Analysis of Titles & Sequence ~ SH 330-340

Platform ~ Treatment ~ 66 m MP3

Divine metaphysics is now reduced to a system, 
to a form comprehensible by and adapted to the thought of the age in which we live. This system enables the learner to demonstrate the divine Principle, upon which Jesus’ healing was based, and the sacred rules for its present application to the cure of disease. [SH 146:31-5]

Platform Understanding & Application determines Success 
When the following platform is understood and the letter and the spirit bear witness, the infallibility of divine metaphysics will be demonstrated. [SH 330:8]

One infinite God, good, unifies men and nations; constitutes  the brotherhood of man; ends wars; fulfils the Scripture, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself;' annihilates pagan and Christian idolatry, — whatever is wrong in social, civil, criminal, political, and religious codes; equalizes the sexes; annuls the curse on man, and leaves nothing that can sin, suffer, be punished or destroyed. [SH 340:23]

5. Platform Science of Being ~ SH 330-340

Science of Being ~ 45 m MP3

Platform ~ Science of Being 
This is a long chapter full of beautiful details of how the divine comes with Christ power to illuminate, and to transform, and to redeem all the details of our human sense of being. It finishes with thirty-two numbered sections, called 'the platform.' Mrs Eddy introduces this by saying, 'When the following platform is understood and the letter and the spirit bear witness, the infallibility of divine metaphysics will be demonstrated' (330:8). The word platform is derived from two words, plat and form, and plat is an interweaving. So the platform offers us interwoven spiritual precepts about the nature of God, the nature of Christ, the nature of the human, and the resolving of the problem of evil. This therefore must be something on which we can safely stand.

Alpha Index of 1,315 Treatments View

Question. — What is the scientific statement of being?
Answer. — There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual. [SH 468]

God made Men

Genesis 1 ~ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.[Gen 1:26-28]

Everything God made is Perfect
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [Gen 1:31]

Fleshly factors unreal
Question. — What is man?
Answer. — Man is not matter; he is not made up of brain, blood, bones, and other material elements. The Scriptures inform us that man is made in the image and likeness of God. Matter is not that likeness. The likeness of Spirit cannot be so unlike Spirit. Man is spiritual and perfect; and because he is spiritual and perfect, he must be so understood in Christian Science. Man is idea, the image, of Love; lie is not physique. He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas; the generic term for all that reflects God's image and likeness; the conscious identity of being as found in Science, in which man is the reflection of God, or Mind, and therefore is eternal; that which has no separate mind from God; that which has not a single quality underived from Deity; that which possesses no life, intelligence, nor creative power of his own, but reflects spiritually all that belongs to his Maker. [SH 475:5-22]

Individual Idea of God ~ Treatment ~ 68m MP3 Alpha Index of 1,315 Treatments View

7 Terms for God relating to each other
This treatment covers all of the 7 terms for God and how they work together as one grand network. It is recommended to locate any particular problem that you are facing from the alpha index of 1,315 treatments above, top right. The basics of the 68 min treatment, also at the top right, can be applied to the treatment of any problem, for children or adults.

Receptive Thought Required ~ Not Cast Pearls Before Swine
Jesus' parable of 'the sower' shows the care our Master took not to impart to dull ears and gross hearts the spiritual teachings which dulness and grossness could not accept. Reading the thoughts of the people, he said:
'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine.'

Unspiritual contrasts
It is the spiritualization of thought and Christianization of daily life, in contrast with the results of the ghastly farce of material existence; it is chastity and purity, in contrast with the downward tendencies and earthward gravitation of sensualism and impurity, which really attest the divine origin and operation of Christian Science.
The triumphs of Christian Science are recorded in the destruction of error and evil, from which are propagated the dismal beliefs of sin, sickness, and death. [S&H 272:13-27]

The One Real Power
Moral and spiritual might belong to Spirit, who holds the 'wind in His fists;' and this teaching accords with Science and harmony. In Science, you can have no power opposed to God, and the physical senses must give up their false testimony. Your influence for good depends upon the weight you throw into the right scale. The good you do and embody gives you the only power obtainable. Evil is not power. It is a mockery of strength, which erelong betrays its weakness and falls, never to rise. We walk in the footsteps of Truth and Love by following the example of our Master in the understanding of divine metaphysics. Christianity is the basis of true healing. Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power. [S&H 192:17-31]
