In Christian Science it is important to not only learn the rules, the divine laws but apply them mentally because you are a spiritual being. Every thing is mental. These rules can be found in the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scripture by Mary Baker Eddy and her other writings. This is the bread and butter of learning to heal that you learn to listen to God and play by his rules not mortal mind rules. As one practitioner asked me when I was whining to her my whole list of needs, "Did God tell you that?" Listen to what God is telling you!
The rules include:
What we must do.
What we must know.
What we must be.
Everything starts with the Scientific Statement of Being explaining who you are as a spiritual being. The Scientific Statement of Being can be found page 468. You can apply these rules to this statement and to yourself. Everything is mental and you must understand yourself to be spiritual. Luke (1:37) tells us in the Bible, "...for with God nothing shall be impossible."
Apply these rules in studying the Christian Science Lesson Sermon that can be obtained on line from JSH.com or drop by your local Reading Room to pick up a hard copy. Apply these rules when you are reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures in you daily life.
In reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures you can make each page with what you must know, do and be mentally applying these rules to yourself. Apply these rules is spiritualizing your thought because you are one with the divine Mind, God.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (S&H) by Mary Baker Eddy
"The Christlike understanding of being and divine healing includes a perfect Principle and idea, — perfect God and perfect man, — as the basis of thought and demonstration." (S&H 259:11)
