Watching Point 273

273 — WATCH that you understand what Mrs. Eddy meant when she said (Mis. 210),
“. . . error, when found out, is two-thirds destroyed, and the remaining third kills itself.”

Once Mrs. Eddy said, “Could you, my dear ones, but see the grandeur of your outlook, the sublimity of your hope, and the infinite capacity of your being, you would do what? Let error kill itself. It comes to you for life and you give it the only life it has — in belief.”

The deduction is that error is uncovered or found out, only when you see that you have given it all the life it has in belief. When you see this, at once you withdraw such support, and thus the error is two-thirds destroyed. Then the remaining third, which is the manifestation, having no support, kills itself.
