Some time ago I spent considerable time in prayer over the following statement by Mary Baker Eddy: "To live so as to keep human consciousness in constant relation with the divine, the spiritual, and the eternal, is to individualize infinite power; and this is Christian Science" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 160). This work led to a healing that has affected my life profoundly.

Prior to this study, it was often a struggle for me "to keep human consciousness in constant relation with the divine, the spiritual, and the eternal." A quick survey of my past indicated that sometimes the struggle had been severe; remembering incidents over which I had seemed to have no control frequently cast dark shadows over my thought and life. During those years there were times, off and on, when I felt estranged from God's love.

However, through my study of that particular statement, I began to see that first I must consistently recognize, lay claim to, my spiritual individuality, which was entirely apart from mortal, material, evil influences. Second, I must understand the infinite power that accompanies such right identification. Then I would become more and more conscious of my permanent link with divine Life, spiritual Truth, eternal Love. I began to identify myself properly this way consistently.
