"Error, urged to its final limits, is self-destroyed," Mrs. Eddy writes (Science and Health, p. 476). And she continues, "Error will cease to claim that soul is in body, that life and intelligence are in matter, and that this matter is man."
I was able to prove this years ago when I was suffering from hemorrhoids. In addition, a growth had formed which a doctor wanted to operate on. I did not consent to surgery but relied on medication instead. However, when there was no improvement I turned to a Christian Science practitioner and was healed; I felt like a new person.
A long time elapsed, then the thought came to me, "You will have this condition again." Although I denied this I was not alert to exclude the suggestion completely from my thought. Later the symptoms of the illness reappeared. Since it wasn't too serious I did not speak of it to anyone. But then the discomfort became so severe that while at work I was hardly able to walk. At home I just sat most of the time.
