Last summer, shortly after I started my alternative service required of a conscientious objector* (working in a Christian Science House, caring for the elderly), one of my fingers became badly swollen and very painful. Despite the fact that the condition worsened, I felt it was my duty to stay with the job. So I continued with my work, although most of the time I could use only my right arm because of the pain and swelling that had now spread to my left arm.
I also earnestly began to pray. I knew for sure that real healing could be brought about only through divine Love. Every inharmonious condition arises from a false concept of God, or Love. Thus when inharmony appears, the most effective remedy is to turn again and grow closer to God.
Despite this metaphysical work, I became very fearful of possible dangerous consequences of the inflammation. Soon symptoms of blood poisoning were evident.
