True
Consciousness ".
. . The realization of
the one Mind has brought
healing to many who were
under sentence of
impending death,
according to medical
opinion, when like a
flash of light they saw
that God is Mind and
also Life, and then they
were glad to respond to
the high demand of
Science to 'give to Mind
the glory, honor,
dominion, and power
everlastingly due its
holy name' (Science and
Health, p.
143)."
Self-Abnegation "There
is nothing that the
Christian Scientist
desires more earnestly
to attain than real
self-abnegation."
Truth
the Basis of True
Knowledge "It
is clear to Christian
Scientists that evil
never develops into
good; nor does matter
merge into Spirit. This
Jesus showed by the
parable of the tares and
wheat."
"There
is help for
you"
"For years I suffered
from poor eyesight, and
was almost constantly
under the care of a
doctor, steadily growing
worse, until finally he
told me he could do
nothing more for
me."

"Words cannot express my
gratitude for Christian
Science, and for the
many ministrations which
I have received through
it. My first experience,
which I am about to
relate, stands out as
wonderful."
"Christian
Unity"
From Christ and
Christmas
by Mary Baker Eddy
.
"That
man is the idea of
infinite Mind, always
perfect in God, in
Truth, Life, and Love,
is something not easily
accepted, weighed down
as is mortal thought
with material beliefs.
That which never
existed, can seem solid
substance to this
thought. It is much
easier for people to
believe that the body
affects the mind, than
that the mind affects
the body."

The
teaching of
"divinity
embracing
humanity" is
essential to
our salvation,
our
transfiguration,
in the endtime.
A
misunderstanding
of Mary Baker
Eddy's teaching
on this subject
impedes and
retards
individual and
collective
spiritual
growth. It
would prevent
Christian
Scientists from
understanding
and
demonstrating
the human and
divine
coincidence
which is the
way of escape
from the
material sense
of things.
In
Volume 4 we
read,
"How do drugs
and hygiene and
animal
magnetism heal?
They don't
heal. It is
only the faith
in them which
brings about a
result
which
they call healing. In
reality they only
exchange a belief in
disease for another
belief called health.
Materia medica
classifies health as the
absence of disease from
the body. Mrs. Eddy
tells us that 'Health is
the consciousness of the
unreality of pain and
disease; or, rather, the
absolute consciousness
of harmony and of
nothing else.' (Rud.
11:13-15)"
"In
this age the
earth will help
the woman; the
spiritual idea
will be
understood."

The
very real, but
unrecognized questions
agitating the world in
this endtime are not
those issues and events
reported in the press.
Rather, they are those
questions relating to
the second coming of
Christ and the place of
Mrs. Eddy in Scriptural
prophecy.
"Health
is not a condition of
matter, but of Mind; nor
can the material senses
bear reliable testimony
on the subject of
health. The Science of
Mind-healing shows it to
be impossible for aught
but Mind to testify
truly or to exhibit the
real status of man.
Therefore the divine
Principle of Science,
reversing the testimony
of the physical senses,
reveals man as
harmoniously existent in
Truth, which is the only
basis of health; and
thus Science denies all
disease, heals the sick,
overthrows false
evidence, and refutes
materialistic
logic."
— Mary Baker
Eddy
"Whatever
may be the prevailing
opinion as to the tenets
of her faith and its
lasting benefit to the
great cause of
religion,
none
can deny that Mrs. Eddy was a
remarkable personality, one of
the great characters which stand
out in bold relief in the history
of the nineteenth century in
spiritual affairs."
