A young woman confided to me that shortly after marrying she learned her husband had a severe sexual identity problem. She was newly oriented in Christian Science but prayed earnestly to know what she should do. In her anguish she kept crying, "Oh Lord, why me? why me?" Finally, she said, the answer came back quite clearly, "Who else?"
My friend interpreted this thought as a command to put into practice the teachings of Christian Science. If she didn't do it now, faced with this problem, when would she do it?
She began to see that the divine Mind holds the identity of each of its individual ideas in perfect innocence, completeness, and integrity, and that the spiritual consciousness of flawless, real being was the only condition she could be brought to. What she was responsible for changing, she saw, was not someone else's personality but her own definition of reality. Reality, she decided, had to be acknowledged as what the divine Mind is cognizant of—itself and its own ideas, or expressions, not material, mortal mind and conflicting, confused mortals.
