Several years ago a lump began...

Eugene S. Sandberg

Several years ago a lump began to form on my neck. It did not bother me until much later when it became irritated. The irritation continued until I became conscious of the fact that I must do something about it. I began to consider the problem in the light of Christian Science, with which all the other problems that had confronted me and my family had been successfully solved.

On page 217 of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy we read: "You say, 'Toil fatigues me.' But what is this me? Is it muscle or mind? Which is tired and so speaks? Without mind, could the muscles be tired? Do the muscles talk, or do you talk for them? Matter is non-intelligent. Mortal mind does the false talking, and that which affirms weariness, made that weariness." And on page 219 we read, "My method of treating fatigue applies to all bodily ailments, since Mind should be, and is, supreme, absolute, and final."

With these statements in thought, I realized that the disturbance was not in matter but in a false mortal consciousness. It was merely a false belief objectified; so since it was not real, it could be no part of man the image and likeness of God, who comprises all reality.
