Approximately three years ago, I was healed of what appeared to be pneumonia or a similar inflammation of the lungs. Although I continued with my usual work, it was several weeks before there was a radical change. The turning point occurred when I realized that this healing wasn't happening as quickly as I would naturally expect.

At that time, there was an individual who had been making unsuccessful attempts to get a reaction from me by insulting what I love the most, Christian Science. It came to me, as I continued to pray about the illness, to handle the thought of malpractice from an impersonal standpoint—that of general public belief and medical thought concerning this particular malady. It was important that I not accept this belief into my own thinking. I needed to guard my thought more specifically against that particular belief while praying.

Within three days from that moment the problem was resolved. The first day, I handled in my thought the belief that malpractice could possibly touch my experience. I knew there is only one Mind, God, and that there is no individual with a separate mind, a mind that could believe in disease or that would ever want to do me or anyone harm. I and all reflect the one divine Mind. This was the day the healing really began.
