Maintaining Your Innocence
As the result of a Christian Science healing, I learned a helpful lesson in how to stay innocent of belief in the reality of disease.
I had casually watched a television commercial in which the piano-playing actress was showing how she could continue playing through the use of drugs, despite a painful condition in her hands. Apparently I unintentionally took in the picture of suffering. Certainly I didn't make any mental effort to refuse it at the time but unconsciously consented to its influence.
Shortly thereafter I began to experience the same symptoms as the pianist in the advertisement said she had suffered.
