Eddy, Mary Baker, 1821-1910

"Retrospection and Introspection"


The divine hand led me into a new world of light and Life, a fresh
universe--old to God, but new to His "little one." It became evident that
the divine Mind alone must answer, and be found as the Life, or Principle,
of all being; and that one must acquaint himself with God, if he would be
at peace. He must be ours practically, guiding our every thought and
action; else we cannot understand the omnipresence of good sufficiently to
demonstrate, even in part, the Science of the perfect Mind and divine
healing.
I had learned that thought must be spiritualized, in order to apprehend
Spirit. It must become honest, unselfish, and pure, in order to have the
least understanding of God in divine Science. The first must become last.
Our reliance upon material things must be transferred to a perception of
and dependence on spiritual things. For Spirit to be supreme in
demonstration, it must be supreme in our affections, and we must be clad
with divine power. Purity, self-renunciation, faith, and understanding must
reduce all things real to their own mental denomination, Mind, which
divides, subdivides, increases, diminishes, constitutes, and sustains,
according to the law of God.
I had learned that Mind reconstructed the body, and that nothing else
could. How it was done, the spiritual Science of Mind must reveal. It was a
mystery to me then, but I have since understood it.
