How can one adequately put into words the gratitude felt for the Christ, Truth, which awakens and redeems us and shows us man's purpose—to express God!

I have waited to testify to this particular healing until I felt certain that the problem had been no more real than a nightmare one has in sleep. I share my testimony in the hope that it may encourage someone who is struggling with a false sense of having lost identity and dominion.

I was raised as a Christian Scientist by my mother and I loved Science from childhood. I have always striven to use it, to be good, and to do good. But as I look back on my life up to the healing I am about to relate, I see that so much of my thinking was based on accepting a mortal sense of self. Self-righteousness, self-depreciation, self-condemnation, self-pity, righteous indignation—these false characteristics appeared very much mixed in with the more spiritual elements of consciousness.
