Criticism is the worst thing that you can get into your thoughts     It never did any good & never will do any good.

Francis J. Fluno

Criticism is fault-finding. It shuts you out of heaven. It will darken all your skies. It will keep you from demonstrating for yourself and others. It will bar you from progress. It leads you into all trouble. It leads you into all discord, into all unkindness, impatience, hard heartedness, unfriendliness—and finally into all evil, hatefulness envy. Just as long as that spirit of criticism remains in your thought, and you leave it there, just so long will not progress, just so long will you not be able to demonstrate, just so long will you not be able to find your way in Truth, because you will be looking for faults constantly. You are fault finding on a mortal, material plane. CLICK for Complete Article View

The human, mortal mind so called is not a healer, but causes the belief in disease. ~ Nothing but Truth or Divine Mind can Heal

3. Receptive thought to change needed ~ Exhausted by Trials & Tribulations of Human life-experiences required

Mission of Christian Science This apodeictical Principle points to the revelation of Immanuel, "God with us," — the sovereign ever-presence, delivering the children of men from every ill "that flesh is heir to." Through Christian Science, religion and medicine are inspired with a diviner nature and essence; fresh pinions are given to faith and understanding, and thoughts acquaint themselves intelligently with God. Discontent with life Feeling so perpetually the false consciousness that life inheres in the body, yet remembering that in reality God is our Life, we may well tremble in the prospect of those days in which we must say, "I have no pleasure in them." Whence came to me this heavenly conviction, — a conviction antagonistic to the testimony of the physical senses? According to St. Paul, it was "the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of His power." It was the divine law of Life and Love, unfolding to me the demonstrable fact that matter possesses neither sensation nor life; that human experiences show the falsity of all material things; and that immortal cravings, "the price of learning love," establish the truism that the only sufferer is mortal mind, for the divine Mind cannot suffer. Demonstrable evidence My conclusions were reached by allowing the evidence of this revelation to multiply with mathematical certainty and the lesser demonstration to prove the greater, as the product of three multiplied by three, equaling nine, proves conclusively that three times three duodecillions must be nine duodecillions, — not a fraction more, not a unit less. Light shining in darkness When apparently near the confines of mortal existence, standing already within the shadow of the death-valley, I learned these truths in divine Science: that all real being is in God, the divine Mind, and that Life, Truth, and Love are all-powerful and ever-present; that the opposite of Truth, — called error, sin, sickness, disease, death, — is the false testimony of false material sense, of mind in matter; that this false sense evolves, in belief, a subjective state of mortal mind which this same so-called mind names matter thereby shutting out the true sense of Spirit.

5. How Jesus Healed?

  Christ Jesus Healings Index View

Christ Jesus

Most Scientific Man
Jesus of Nazareth was the most scientific man that ever trod the globe.       
  Science & Health ~ Pg 313

Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Mathew 6-31

Beheld Perfect Man
Jesus beheld in Science the perfect man, who appeared to him where sinning mortal man appears to mortals.             Science & Health ~ Pgs 476-477
False Beliefs
Jesus cast out evil spirits, or false beliefs. The Apostle Paul bade men have the Mind that was in the Christ. Jesus did his own work by the one Spirit. He said: "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." He never described disease, so far as can be learned from the Gospels, but he healed disease.      
           Science & Health ~ Chpt 4 ~ Pg 79:17-22

Lord's Prayer by Christ Jesus with Spiritual Sense by Mary Baker Eddy Only as we rise above all material sensuousness and sin, can we reach the heaven-born aspiration and spiritual consciousness, which is indicated in the Lord's Prayer and instantaneously heals the sick. Here let me give what I understand to be the spiritual sense of the Lord's Prayer: Our Father which art in heaven, Our Father-Mother God, all-harmonious, Hallowed be Thy name. Adorable One. Thy kingdom come. Thy kingdom is come; Thou art ever-present. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Enable us to know, — as in heaven, so on earth, — God is omnipotent, supreme. Give us this day our daily bread; Give us grace for to-day; feed the famished affections; And forgive us our debts, as And Love is reflected in love; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; And God leadeth us not into temptation, but delivereth us from sin, disease, and death. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. For God is infinite, all-power, all Life, Truth, Love, over all, and All. Science & Health ~ Chpt 01 ~ Pgs 16:20-17:15

6. How Mary Baker Eddy Healed?

Speedy Healing
If the Scientist reaches his patient through divine Love, the healing work will be accomplished at one visit, and the disease will vanish into its native nothingness like dew before the morning sunshine. If the Scientist has enough Christly affection to win his own pardon, and such commendation as the Magdalen gained from Jesus, then he is Christian enough to practice scientifically and deal with his patients compassionately; and the result will correspond with the spiritual intent.      
                 Science & Health ~ Pg 365:15-24
Thought regarding Death
The act of describing disease — its symptoms, locality, and fatality — is not scientific. Warning people against death is an error that tends to frighten into death those who are ignorant of Life 
as God. Thousands of instances could be cited of health restored by changing the patient's thoughts regarding death.   
                 Science & Health ~ Chpt 4 ~ Pg 79:1-6
Diapason of Heaven
Diapason of Heaven
The Metaphysical college was conducted between the years of 1881 to 1898 in Boston by Mary Baker Eddy. These students were selected by Mary Baker Eddy after a screening process. The ones in the final class of 1898 were given the designation of CSD meaning Doctor of Christian Science. These are class notes from some of her students for those years and very valuable information. The Diapason of Heaven is for each of the 7 synonyms. These are very short treatments that Mary Baker Eddy recommends for treatment. They should be repeated often.

Divine revelation, Reason, & Demonstration

a. Solitary Research For three years after my discovery, I sought the solution of this problem of Mind-healing, searched the Scriptures and read little else, kept aloof from society, and devoted time and energies to discovering a positive rule. The search was sweet, calm, and buoyant with hope, not selfish nor depressing. I knew the Principle of all harmonious Mind-action to be God, and that cures were produced in primitive Christian healing by holy, uplifting faith; but I must know the Science of this healing, and I won my way to absolute conclusions through divine revelation, reason, and demonstration. The revelation of Truth in the understanding came to me gradually and apparently through divine power. When a new spiritual idea is borne to earth, the prophetic Scripture of Isaiah is renewedly fulfilled: "Unto us a child is born, . . . and his name shall be called Wonderful."

Mary B. Eddy

b. Pray 3x/day for all humanity Zion's Herald ~ March 18,1885 Three times a day, I retire to seek the divine blessing on the sick and sorrowing, with my face toward the Jerusalem of Love and Truth, in silent prayer to the Father which "seeth in secret," and with childlike confidence that He will reward "openly." In the midst of depressing care and labor I turn constantly to divine Love for guidance, and find rest. It affords me great joy to be able to attest to the truth of Jesus' words. Love makes all burdens light, it giveth a peace that passeth understanding, and with "signs following." As to the peace, it is unutterable; as to "signs," behold the sick who are healed, the sorrowful who are made hopeful, and the sinful and ignorant who have become "wise unto salvation"!

c. The Secret ~ Mary Baker Eddy I have learned a great secret. I have learned how to demonstrate, I have learned how to make Science a thing of life, not of words. I am going to tell you what the secret is, and it is wonderful. It is this: Not to see or hear or repeat any kind of imperfection. It is seeing and hearing and repeating good only, at all times and under all circumstances, and in spite of everything that appears to the contrary. I make this resolve every morning, when I first open my eyes, I renew it every hour of the day. I see perfection in myself in my friends, in my so-called enemy, in my affairs and in world affairs. I take my radical stand for the perfection of God and everything and for everything and everybody He has created. I look upon the world with God's eyes and see it just as He sees it, and I refuse to see it in any other way. d. Stop Dozen X/day and renew the resolve I stop a dozen times a day, and renew the resolve, and make sure that I am not repeating error or giving way to criticism. I watch my thoughts about people, the lame, the old, the unloved to sense that I pass in the street, stray animals, I except nothing. I have taken my radical stand for perfection and I will not, absolutely will not, relax this perfect standard. The result has been simply marvelous. Try it and you will find that you forget your glasses; they will become unnecessary. You will be seeing with God's eyes, His perfect sight, and you will behold a perfect universe, the outward condition of your inward thinking. To change the picture you must change the sight that produced the picture. MBE Article ~ The Secret View/Dnld

e. Religious Tenets of Christian Science 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.

Theology and physics teach that both Spirit and matter are real and good, whereas the fact is that Spirit is good and real, and matter is Spirit’s opposite. The question, What is Truth, is answered by demonstration, — by healing both disease and sin; and this demonstration shows that Christian healing confers the most health and makes the best men… Continued on Mary Baker Eddy Healings page

7. Divine Science Reduced to a System

Divine Metaphysics is now reduced to a System ~ Mary Baker Eddy     ~     MBEI Treatments Teach the System     View

Mary B Eddy

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.

8. Fruitage Follows Spiritual Understanding
Focus must be on understanding God & Not Thinking about the Problem
  Chapter 18 ~ Fruitage Index

1. Genesis 1 provides 7 days of development. Before God does anything each day is preceded by a requirement for each one of us to open our doors of consciousness in order for us to benefit from God's work. 2. When people try to solve a problem answer often comes when thought is complete off of the problem. 3. Science & Health ~ Chpt 18 Fruitage a. They were engrossed in the learnings about God and did not think about the problem . b. Many additional problems were healed that they were not even thinking about. 4. Frederick L Rawson a. One of the greater healers alongside Mary Baker Eddy. b. Won a Sport Shooting Contest by looking away from the target, eyes closed, thinking solely about his oneness with God. c. Instant healing of accident resulting a man covered with rocks. d. Took one hundred men into war came back without a single man being injured. e. Discovered Retroactive Healing ~ Taking a fact before the patient ask him for help. f. Wrote a book on How to heal about the 1,315 problems.

9. Frederick L Rawson Proved the Science of Healing

F.L. Rawson

Perfect Success in Christian Science Healing Mr. Rawson was hired by a London newspaper to research Christian Science as he also had a vivid interest in religious matters. He was hired to research whether or not the claims of healing were true, and if they were, what scientific basis there was for them. As a result of his findings that they were indeed true, he took up the study seriously and became one of the most successful Christian Science practitioners. Frederick L Rawson Index View

10. What Christian Science is Not?

Erroneous Postulates Certain erroneous postulates should be here considered in order that the spiritual facts may be better apprehended. 1. The first erroneous postulate of belief is, that substance, life, and intelligence are something apart from God. 2. The second erroneous postulate is, that man is both mental and material. 3. The third erroneous postulate is, that mind is both evil and good; whereas the real Mind cannot be evil nor the medium of evil, for Mind is God. 4. The fourth erroneous postulate is, that matter is intelligent, and that man has a material body which is part of himself. 5. The fifth erroneous postulate is, that matter holds in itself the issues of life and death, — that matter is not only capable of experiencing pleasure and pain, but also capable of imparting these sensations. From the illusion implied in this last postulate arises the decomposition of mortal bodies in what is termed death. Mind is not an entity within the cranium with the power of sinning now and forever.
