A friend once gave me an analogy of lifting thought and consciousness spirit-ward – as when someone goes into a room and turns on the heat (pray). All of the folks in the room are benefited.

In this situation with the basketball game, I clearly felt how it is to be able to turn on the heat (pray) and immediately know that those around me are…

Allegra,

Something I work with is that there is no history. You can only live right here in this moment because all that is behind you is good and all that is ahead of you is good. Something you did 5 minutes ago has already been prepared for by God. She knows where you’re heading and where everyone else in the world is heading. If the…[Read more]

Well you are definitly not un-curable and from what i’ve read you dont’ seem to be a nut case so i wouldn’t worry to much about those two. Sometimes I think of mortal mind or error as a steriotypical spoiled small child, always wanting its way and to be the center of attention. The more focus you put on God and Love, the less attention it gets. …[Read more]

Great Question/comment! And Anna thanks for bringing this back to light!

I think reaching out is a huge deal! I know my church got a huge jolt of a wake-up call when a visitor actually wrote to us and said how disapointed they had been when they attended two services and not a person spoke to them besides the general greeting of the usher! …[Read more]

I just wanted to share a quick expirence from a friend of mine. She has been married twice, once in her mid 20s and once in her mid 30s. The first marriage was to a CS guy. She told me that going in she figured it would be easy because they were both CS. Clearly it wasn’t and the marriage didn’t last much more than a year.

Years later she…[Read more]

I have a myspace account and as Melo said, i use it to keep in touch with friends who are flung across the country. I also found it a wonderful resorce for CS conversations before I knew about this forum. There are 2 great CS groups and a few others that are growing slowly but they are out there. I know a lot of people who are supposidly…[Read more]

I don’t know that this really belongs in the catigory of debt but Peter mentioned Mrs. Eddy’s quote “Giving does not impoverish us in the service of our Maker, neither does withholding enrich us” (S&H p79) and I wanted to share an expirece I had useing that quote recently. Giveing, grace, and charity are three thigns i’ve been working on in my…[Read more]

Bell,

A graditude journal is a wonderful wonderful thing. I kept one for a long time in school and after reading everyone’s comments recently i am inspired to start one again. My Sunday School teacher who got me started on graditude journals required that we follow Mrs’s Eddy’s words on turning things into thoughts. I don’t have the exact…[Read more]

Kystrel,

I recently delt with a similar situation only it was a back injury. Being that my job requires me to lift heavy lights regularly, a back injury was the last thing i needed! Also we had reccently lost one of our crew members to a back injury and i knew he was still suffereing the affects months later. I called a practitioner for help…[Read more]

As we talk about sexuality and homosexuality we tend to toss around the word gender a lot, as it is the basis for the theory of heterosexuality and homosexuality. Mrs. Eddy has an interesting statement on gender in S&H which to me eliminates even the issues of homosexuality vs heterosexuality. She says that “Gender also is a quality, not of…[Read more]

Lately I’ve been having trouble getting to sleep at night. I’ve tried to pray about this but it seems to hard to do because sometimes I read that in Christian Science people do not need sleep. God gives them all the rest they will ever need. I go to lie down and within 5 mins I get anxious because I haven’t fallen asleep(I used to fall asleep…

Dear Greenlilly,

I love what everyone has said and i agree with them wholeheartedly. As another sister who has been there, i went through a very difficult period in high school and into college where I’m sure my younger brother would have said what you said and worse about me. I was terrible! Looking back i know that i pushed my family and…[Read more]

I’ve always loved the quote “Clad in the panoply of Love, human hatred cannot reach you.” ( S&H 571:18) I always though of that like a giant bubble and the human hatred or human beliefe of any disease, discomfort or anyting else will just bounch off. You are perfect and Pure and nothing can enter your bubble, not even through the air!

Living in a rather quite area this might seam easier, but is it really?
Thus it is indeed very important to be able to say “be quite an know that I am God” (as stated in the Bible, the english might be different as I translate it from the french, which I usually read).
Animal Magnetism will then try to prevent us from listening. This is…

I might jump in and out of conversations if you guys go forward…. it’s just that I’m in Revelation after pretty much reading the Bible chronologically this past year. I totally recommend it to anyone – and especially chronologically!! I love the Bible so much more now. Not that I didn’t before, but oooooh, it’s sooo much clearer and deeper…

Thanks for this great question! I have struggled with this issue for a long time and just when i thought I had it licked, it reapeared. When i was working on this at one point i came across the word sensuality and decided to look it up and get an ‘official’ definition of it. Much to my surprise the American Heritage Dictionary came up with…[Read more]
