About two years ago I awakened at six in the morning and found I was unable to move off the bed. I was very rigid and the thought came: "Pray as you have learned to do in Christian Science." Immediately I identified myself as a spiritual idea of God, already complete and perfect, in spite of the physical evidence. The material picture was merely a counterfeit suggestion, trying to make me acknowledge I was made of flesh, blood, bones, and so forth, and that these were subject to change and deterioration.

I counteracted this by declaring that as God's image and likeness I could not be inactive, as God would first have to be at a standstill. As I knew God to be omniactive Mind, the source of all right activity, I therefore was at the point of all right activity and was agile, resilient, and could move naturally.
