The author explains how to handle the belief of evil or aggressive mental suggestion, how to understand the problems that become long-term demonstrations, how essential it is to be aware of the emotions that cause problems that seem to be chronic.

How Should We Pray?

Business and employment are a very important part of life. So often we will work metaphysically to heal physical claims or other problems, but fail to treat specifically our concept of business and employment. Perhaps we neglect this work because there seem to be so many outside factors to be handled. It appears to be such a complex problem that we become resigned to circumstances. But we find the more we spiritualize our concept of business and employment, the greater our success, supply, and satisfaction in our work. This special collection is filled with excellent ideas on overcoming lack and limitation through prayer in Christian Science.

As we progress ever deeper into a mental age, the abuse of mental power needs to be carefully considered in Christian Science. The world is increasingly aware of the power of hypnotism, subliminal suggestion, mind-control, and aggressive mental suggestion. These forms of malpractice are committed daily against the undefended mind. Christian Science provides a sure means of defending the mind from all forms of hypnosis.

The general concept of malpractice is that of one person mentally attacking another — a conscious and deliberate act to harm or control him often through secret hypnosis. But there are many other subtle forms of malpractice which we encounter daily, and unless we are aware of them, we unconsciously accept into consciousness these false suggestions and suffer from them.

This book includes a brief history of mesmerism to show how it is the work of depraved will-power, and how the present use of hypnosis is a growing threat to individual health and freedom. It explains many forms of malpractice, and alerts us to the many harmful effects that malpractice can have on our health and lives. But most important, it explains how Christian Science enables one to become immune to malpractice, to recognize mental attacks and successfully defend the mind against them through scientific prayer.
