I had prayed earnestly to know who I am, what I am, and where I am; and one night, while I was trying to see the perfect man for someone for whom I was doing Science work, it dawned on me that that which I called "myself" was not "I" at all, nor any part of my real selfhood. The whole physical picture called man was a very poor counterfeit of the perfect idea—man, as God's image and likeness. When I separated from my thinking the concept of man as material, and beheld the real man as spiritual, perfect, and pure, as Jesus did when healing Peter's wife's mother, then I knew that my work for my friend was complete.
Our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, tells us in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 355), "Learn what in thine own mentality is unlike 'the anointed,' and cast it out; then thou wilt discern" the error in thy patient's mind that makes his body sick, and remove it, and rest like rhe dove from the deluge."
Christian Science came to me many years ago and has never failed me. I have had many healings, physical, mental, and financial. I was healed of constipation, resulting in ulcers and hemorrhoids, from which I suffered for many years. Christian Science healed me completely. I was also healed of catarrh, neuralgia, colds, grippe, fevers, sorrow, discouragement, resentment, and worry. Only God knows how grateful I am for all these healings. But my greatest joy is that Christian Science makes no mistakes, but is an antidote for every ill.
