SOME KEY POINTS 

1. If we prove a belief to be fact, then it is no longer a false belief & is termed Truth, a fact, something that is fixed, not variable.

2. If we understand what God is & what man is & the relationship between God & man, then we very definitely have something that is fixed & is able to be relied on to set us free from anything that is un-like-God.

3. Mary Baker Eddy uses the term evil as a very broad term to mean anything that is un-like-God, no matter what the form it takes.   


4. On the one side we have something that is a representation of the incorporeal, divine, supreme & infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth & Love, & this all refers to reality.

5. Everything that is not reality is a misunderstanding & is not really a fact at all, can never be proven to be a fact, and must be accepted as only a belief that is a false view. So that is termed as false belief, opposed to a true fact. 

6. If one wants to obtain a healing, then the goal is to separate fact from fiction, truth from fantasy, perfection from anything that is less than perfect.

7. Perfection is flawless. There is no mixture with perfection. It is a fixed fact.

8. Anything at all that is in visible form must be translated to its true spiritual nature as long as it is real. For example, a beautiful rose must be recognized & ackn...owledged as the beauty of God being expressed, the fragrance, the aroma or smell, is the spiritual sense being expressed.


9. The way the petals unfold from a tight bud into a full bloom is the action of divine Mind revealing itself. All of these qualities are the substance of Spirit, which is flawless.

10. If something appears to be visible that is evil, such as a storm, then it must be recognized as not being a part of the reality of the universe of God, but an attempt to distract consciousness & implant into consciousness that reality includes evil. We must claim Truth to be the only reality & the only action that can exist is good action, the action of God, the action of perfect, all intelligent Mind.

11. EVIL ~ Our duty is to refuse to believe that evil is real ~ & specifically state that it is unreal & not from God ~ it is a fiction & has absolutely no power ~ because the only power is the power of divine Mind which is defined as good. 

12. God is of purer eyes than to behold evil. If God is all seeing, God cannot behold evil. That means evil is not real. [Habakkuk]
