In your book, Science and Health,¹ page 181, you say: "Every sin is the author of itself, and every invalid the cause of his own sufferings." On page 182 you say: "Sickness is a growth of illusion, springing from a seed of thought, — either your own thought or another's." Will you please explain this seeming contradiction?

This chapter #3 is comprised of 90 questions and answers.
  	    In your book, Science and Health,¹ page 181, you
 6	say: "Every sin is the author of itself, and every
  	invalid the cause of his own sufferings." On page
  	182 you say: "Sickness is a growth of illusion, spring-
 9	ing from a seed of thought, — either your own thought
  	or another's." Will you please explain this seeming
  	contradiction? 

12	    No person can accept another's belief, except it be
  	with the consent of his own belief. If the error which
  	knocks at the door of your own thought originated in
15	another's mind, you are a free moral agent to reject or
  	to accept this error; hence, you are the arbiter of your
  	own fate, and sin is the author of sin. In the words
18	of our Master, you are "a liar, and the father of it
  	[the lie]."
