A few days ago a woman emailed me saying she had happened onto my blog and found it helpful. Her problem seemed to be an inability to get healing results from her efforts to know the Truth as given in Christian Science. As she left no way to get in touch with her, perhaps the following thoughts might be of benefit.
Many times as I've been re-reading the testimonies of healing at the back of Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures I've been struck by this awareness: since disease is not real, and there is actually no such thing, what all those people who were healed simply by reading and pondering the textbook were experiencing was a false belief. Laid on them by family or in most cases, by doctors who told them they had this or that disease. They were impressed by a mortal mind name and description which as Truth dawned on their thought, replaced their fears and misconceptions with divine facts of being--the divine facts which Jesus taught and demonstrated for mankind and which Christian Science makes available to us.
And, a post my husband among last month's entries on July 5th, might also prove helpful to readers -- "Absolute Faith".
