This series of five talks discusses the prayer unique to Christian Science – the prayer of affirmation and denial, or the Christian Science treatment. It outlines the six footsteps of treatment and explains the three main footsteps in detail. It gives a scientific explanation as to why prayer heals, and tells of the great blessings that come to you as you learn to pray scientifically. This series, like the first series, includes original ideas that will help you do better healing work. Study and prayer are the foundation to healing work. You know how to study, but do you know how to give a healing treatment? This series is to introduce you to the form of prayer that gives great power to your prayerful works.

This on-going series of talks are intended to give you a new perspective of the role of Christian Science in this century. This first series presents Christian Science as a scientific discovery of the first magnitude and relates Christian Science to the recent discovery of a supreme intelligence in the universe. Recorded by Ann Beals, these talks will focus on the advanced teachings that made the early students in the movement so successful in their healing work. The talks will take this revelation to a new level. They will explain the subjective nature of being, the scientific form of prayer essential to healing, the need to handle animal magnetism and malicious malpractice. They will show how Mrs. Eddy’s revelation combines religion and science into a spiritual vision that is the foundation to the coming age. Each series will be permanently listed on the website for your listening any time, anywhere in the world. For those who want them as recordings, they will also be available on CD as each series is completed.

In Christian Science, evil is shown to be hypnotic illusion, a belief in a power apart from God, good. It is a specific term used to define evil in its many forms. The study of Christian Science uncovers, analyzes, and destroys evil. All mesmeric control can be overcome through an understanding of God. This booklet explains what evil is, how it operates, and how to handle it through the prayer of affirmation and denial. It also shows why we must handle evil in order to overcome it.

The essence of this booklet is summed up in the following paragraph: “The realization of truth destroys the fear of evil. This loss of fear enables the metaphysician to argue with total conviction against the seeming reality of animal magnetism. When fear is overcome and we can stand absolutely unintimidated by any of evil’s suggestions, we can no longer be influenced by it. It is the destruction of the fear of evil that enables us to handle it most successfully. The loss of fear usually comes gradually as we are faithful to the daily work of study and prayer.”

To anyone understanding this form of prayer, evil is no longer a threat. It is an illusion to be destroyed through the prayerful work that gives one dominion over it. Thus prayer is no longer one of supplication, asking that God deliver us from evil, but one in which we exercise our God-given power over the aggressive suggestions of animal magnetism. As evil becomes more aggressive and subtle, we need this form of prayer in order to detect its aggressive hypnotic suggestions and escape its harmful influence.
