Mary Baker Eddy's complete discovery of Christian Science reveals the law of God that heals and transforms human experience. It also involves unmasking animal magnetism—thoughts of doubt, confusion, and fear, which are all based on the false belief that man is mortal. When Christian Science counteracts these evil suggestions, there is peace, a clear knowledge of the truth, revelation, and healing. I am grateful to be able to testify to this fact.
About two years ago when I was six months pregnant, I was kept awake one night by an intense internal pain that made it impossible to get comfortable in any position. When I left the bedroom to leave my husband in peace, I became quite ill. Very concerned, I wondered if the baby and I were in danger. This fear alerted me to begin the needed prayer to lift my thought above a material sense of life to the truth of God's creation as found in the Bible. God is the one divine Principle of being, and man reflects Principle's perfection and wholeness.
This pregnancy had been harmonious and healthy all along. Here was an opportunity to prove that harmony and health come from God, not from physicality or a combination of material factors (certain foods, physical activity, plenty of rest, etc.). As a student of Christian Science I knew that God's perfect work is dependent not on matter, but on Spirit alone, and therefore is never subject to becoming "undone."
