Imagine, if you will, a world in which there are no airplanes, no telephones, no Internet websites. A world where international communication is slow and uncertain, where international friendships are difficult to develop. A world in which spiritual healing is thought to be the product of superstition instead of a provable Science.
That today's world is so different from this imaginary world stems largely from the willingness of inventors and thinkers to go beyond what "is" and to explore ways to achieve that which "is not."
A pioneering thinker herself, Mary Eddy was much aware of the value of inventions that would make life easier and lift humanity to a higher plane. In her revolutionary book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, she wrote, "Observation, invention, study, and original thought are expansive and should promote the growth of mortal mind out of itself, out of all that is mortal." Science and Health, p. 195.
