Science and Christian Healing.

Scientific Christian healing takes this process still further, however, towards the infinite dominion of infinite Mind. This type of healing is a process of divine metaphysics that upgrades the physical environment of the body by intelligent mental processes centered on the divine reality of absolute Truth. These higher and purer processes of metaphysics differ dramatically from processes of medical intervention. Divine metaphysics involves processes that are understood to be associated with the fundamental nature of man as a spiritual entity that has demonstrated throughout its history virtually unlimited mental capacities.
The modern period of the reappearance of divine metaphysics, according to Christ Jesus' promise began in the mid to late 1800s in North America, which region had likewise experienced a period of strong cultural and spiritual renaissance in the wake of the American Revolution for independence. Rather than being a process of ancient mysticism, the modern phenomenon of divine metaphysics comes to light more as a process that evolves on top of the tallest mental development and cannot exist without the strong mental underpinning that support the advanced capabilities. The sharp decline of Christian metaphysical healing over the last century reflects a universal decline in mankind's interest in spiritual aspects which coincides with the unfolding of a century of wars, moral decay, economic disintegration, and political and financial insanities.
The root for divine metaphysics lies deep within the human soul in its reflection of a fundamental divine reality. Scientific spiritual healing is fundamentally a process of divine metaphysics, based on the recognition of that higher power, called God, that has been summarized as Truth, Life, Love, Principle, Soul, Spirit, and Mind, and are reflected in man as divine image and likeness.
A similar, though less comprehensive recognition, was the platform on which the Golden Renaissance unfolded that gave mankind the greatest scientific, cultural, and technological increases in history. This means that the term metaphysics, as used in this book, defines all phenomena that have a definite basis in reality and a definite science associated with it, but have their motivating principle not founded in actions of Newtonian physics or biological materialism, but in spiritual factors such as intelligence, in the power of the human intellect, in the action of the human mind at discovering fundamental principles relating to life and the demonstration thereof. Here, healing begins.
Mary Baker Eddy writes about her own healing work: "...I healed consumption in its last stages, a case which the M.D.'s, by verdict of the stethoscope and the schools, declared incurable because the lungs were mostly consumed. I healed malignant diphtheria and carious bones that could be dented by the finger, saving the limbs when the surgeon's instruments were lying on the table ready for their amputation. I have healed at one visit a cancer that had eaten the flesh of the neck and exposed the jugular vein so that it stood out like a chord. I have physically restored sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, speech to the dumb, and have made the lame walk."*(Miscellany 105:7)
There exist no journals of her work by her own hand. There exist reports, however, by others who were healed. There exist also countless volumes of testimonials by people who healed themselves or were aided in the process by professional practitioners. She herself was engaged in the healing and teaching work for over twenty-two years. At the end of this period another new phase shift was launched that far superseded all personal healing. It was at this time that her outlined structure for scientific development first appeared in print. It was also from this time forward, for another twenty years, that the greater developments unfolded of her career, that changed the face of humanity to some degree. And still it must be noted that the greatest potential impact of her work on humanity, has not even begun. The outline of her structure for scientific development continues to remain largely hidden from the world except for this series, titled: Discovering Infinity.
