What is life? Much thought, time, and effort have been devoted to trying to find out about life.
One should turn to the Bible to gain the understanding of life. There one learns that God is all-harmonious Life, the Ego, the knower and doer, the "I AM THAT I AM" (Ex. 3:14), self-existent, eternal.
By reading the Bible, Mrs. Eddy was healed of the effect of what threatened to be a fatal accident. Concerning this she says in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 24): "As I read, the healing Truth dawned upon my sense; and the result was that I rose, dressed myself, and ever after was in better health than I had before enjoyed. That short experience included a glimpse of the great fact that I have since tried to make plain to others, namely, Life in and of Spirit; this Life being the sole reality of existence." And Mrs. Eddy brings out in her writings that anyone who seems to be sick, unhappy, or discordant in any way can be healed, as she was, by realizing that Life is all-harmonious Spirit.
