While I was growing up, I had early and regular contact with pornographic material. Although I was raised in a home of Christian Scientists, at the time I saw no harm in such activity.
During college I began to realize the inconsistency of reading and viewing pornography and also studying Christian Science. I made a concerted effort to rid myself of the habit and felt I had been successful. After my graduation, however, the tendency resurfaced in a more intense form. At that time I realized that this was more than just a habit; it had become a mode of thought. I knew that what was needed to counteract it was regeneration and purification of consciousness.
