Effects of a scorpion sting quickly healed

At the end of last summer, I was relaxing in the country for a few days. I was lying back on a couch when suddenly I felt a sharp pain in the foot I was resting on the ground. I didn't know what had caused this sudden, intense pain, but my immediate response was to say out loud "the scientific statement of being," found in Science and Health.

This statement begins: "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for Godis All-in-all" (p. 468). I did this in order to gain inspiration to pray, and after a few moments my condition, which had seemed critical, became more bearable.

Now calmer, I realized that something was creeping up my body. I stood up quickly and stepped on something that was crawling away on the floor. It was a large scorpion. I started to remember frightening stories about these creatures and, almost immediately, began to feel as if part of my body was swelling and becoming paralyzed.
