| Yes, it is stupid, even dangerous to pretend you are not sick when you are. But the correct practice of Christian Science is far from pretending! It is the holding to an unchanging principle, just as the mathematician holds to what he knows to be true, until the problem is solved. A mathematician is not afraid of admitting he has not yet solved the problem., nor should a Christian Scientist be afraid to “tell the truth about the lie”, so to speak. Mrs. Eddy did say, “If you say your are sick, you plead guilty.” But she was referring to the mental battleground with thought within oneself, not the practical application in a world of observers perhaps unaware of how Christian Science works. Denying that something is wrong to some loving soul who is concerned about your welfare aggravates fear, and is not Science because it is not love! |
