“Not muscles, nerves, nor bones, but mortal mind makes the whole body ‘sick, and the whole heart faint;’ whereas divine Mind heals.
When this is understood, we shall never affirm concerning the body what we do not wish to have manifested.”
~ Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 219
If you want to stay healthy, spend less time watching the body and more time watching your thought. Keep out of thought beliefs and conditions you do not wish to have manifested on the body.
Keep thought filled with ideals of Truth and Love. Know perfect God and perfect man. The mental images these realities produce keep you healthy and well.
Thanks Evan – especially valid at Christmas time when attention should be on all aspects of the Christ.
Absolutely!!!! thanks Richard!!!

A recipe for health!
Thanks, Evan, for a very timely message. I am currently working with the idea that animal magnetism, even if not malicious, or aggressive mental suggestions expressed by a loved one though motivated by caring, can have no effect whatsoever on me. God is absolutely the only Cause and Creator as stated in Genesis 1.
yes yes yes
thank you
Miracles happen in
the atmosphere of
Grace and Gratitude
As Grace said “A recipe for health! Lori, I work on the same thing – mine involving adult children. I know they are expressing love in their way.
Thanks, Evan. I’m trying to see this, not just for myself, but for everyone I meet—whether in the so-called world or in my thought—to see all individuals as the perfect, pure, loving ideas of God. Sometimes it’s a challenge! 🙂 It is fun, though! And it’s a “healthy” activity.
Daphne, I’m doing the same thing, especially when I had a night dream and a person wasn’t acting very nice – and I knew that was all in MY thought. So I’m really practising in the day dream too. I notice how much easier it is to blame others than to change our own thinking – but I know the rewards are greater for the good work – as I do only want to admit to thought what I want to manifest. (Just realised I better start thinking it is easy to change our own thinking and not blame others!)
Love your poem today, Maximo…so true. The atmosphere of grace of gratitude is where God’s children love to be!
I love all the wonderful ideas and helpful insights expressed on this site. Thanks to Evan and to all who visit/post.
