Gratitude Leave a comment
These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and are on the topic of Gratitude.
.
To keep the commandments of our Master and follow his example, is our proper debt to him and the only worthy evidence of our gratitude for all that he has done. Outward worship is not of itself sufficient to express loyal and heartfelt gratitude, since he has said: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p4:5)

Mortal mind sees what it believes as certainly as it believes what it sees.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p86: 29)
A material body only expresses a material and mortal mind. A mortal man possesses this body, and he makes it harmonious or discordant according to the images of thought impressed upon it. You embrace your body in your thought, and you should delineate upon it thoughts of health, not of sickness. You should banish all thoughts of disease and sin and of other beliefs included in matter.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p208: 25)
A Spiritual Perspective on Time and Ageing 2 comments
These readings are from the Bible (KJV) and the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

… beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
(The Bible – II Peter 3: 8)
Never record ages. Chronological data are no part of the vast forever. Time-tables of birth and death are so many conspiracies against manhood and womanhood. Except for the error of measuring and limiting all that is good and beautiful, man would enjoy more than threescore years and ten and still maintain his vigor, freshness, and promise. Man, governed by immortal Mind, is always beautiful and grand. Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty, and holiness.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p246:17)

An interview with John Biggs. Click here to listen.
In this podcast John talks about how a new hobby of his – learning magic card tricks – gave him an insight into how spiritual healing happens. He explains that he leaned that in card tricks the audience believes they see something that wasn’t there or didn’t happen because they become distracted from the truth of what is happening by the performance. Healing in Christian Science is not magic but when we are distracted by an inharmonious situation we are blinded to the truth of what is really happening. Being alert to the distraction and focussing on the spiritual truth allows us to experience the true harmony of any situation. In this interview John explains this fully and gives examples of his own healings.
A Life of Peace 1 comment
To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
(The Bible KJV – Romans 8: 6)
Spiritual living and blessedness are the only evidences, by which we can recognize true existence and feel the unspeakable peace which comes from an all-absorbing spiritual love.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p264: 24)

The Mortal Dream Leave a comment
These readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures relate to seeing through the mortal dream.
.
The dream has no reality, no intelligence, no mind; therefore the dreamer and dream are one, for neither is true nor real.
(Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy p530: 26-29)
