Science is a knowledge of facts that are provable. Science is not opinion but knowledge; a demonstrable truth of which there may be a practical application. Science reveals universal truths and gives them to the world as practical values and usable facts.

Science of Mind does not scoff at the words or works of medical science, for instance. They both work to help and heal humanity. Science of Mind is a complement to medical science and when so understood and practiced will help heal the world of its physical infirmities. The world of knowledge needs to be knit together and not pulled apart. We have no objection to any form of healing. What we insist on is that there can be no permanent healing of the body without a correspondingly permanent poise in the mental and emotional life. Psychosomatic medicine has shown that mental disturbances, conscious or subjective, produce physical reactions in the body. If the body is to be permanently well one's mental life must be creative, peaceful, and happy. This is the purpose of any mental healing, whether it be approached from the psychological or the metaphysical angle. Psychology and metaphysics are but two ends of the same thing; they must meet somewhere in consciousness and merge into a perfect unit.

Science of Mind teaches that there is a favorable physical reaction, an effect, which follows a pattern of thought incorporating ideas of health, for the Law of Cause and Effect governs everything. Similarly, it is held that right thinking will result in a greater experience of success and abundance. A successful man thinks success and the Law of Mind that reacts has no other choice than to produce an effect corresponding to the causative idea.
