Consciousness constructs a better body when faith in matter has been conquered.

~ Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy, p. 425

So, if one is hoping for a “better body,” it’s wise to ask, “Where is my faith?  Is it in matter or in divine Mind?”

Faith in matter leads to despair, discouragement, and feelings of helplessness, for matter simply can’t deliver what comes only from divine Mind.

Divine Mind is the source and producer of all intelligent action.  Divine Mind only knows how to produce conditions and qualities of health, harmony, and peace.

When thought reflects the harmony and peace of divine Mind, the peace it feels within translates into peace felt throughout the body.  The same rule applies to health, which originates in Mind too.

As faith moves from matter to Mind, it feels more of Mind’s uplifting healing influence.  Doubt yields to confidence.  Fear yields to Love.  Error yields to Truth.  Disease yields to health.

For the best results, let divine Mind alone shape and form your thought.  Let Truth and Love form your outlook, determine how you feel, and mold and shape your point of view with spiritual ideals.  As thought feels in sync with God, the body falls into line for it is an obedient servant to the mind that governs it.

Let divine Mind, not mortal mind, govern thought and body.  You’ll be happy with the results.
