I HAD TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HEALS
I became interested in Christian Science, and took Primary class instruction because I had an uncontrolled appetite to find out what heals. At the time, I was not seeking any healing for myself, or a loved one. I was not a member of any Christian Science church, and I had no family or friends who were members either. In fact, I was a doctoral student studying to be a licensed psychotherapist.
As I began to study the wonders of the human mind in my doctoral program, and its effects on physical and mental health, I learned that the human mind can do socalled miracles, defy theories of medicine and physical science, and so I directed my scholarly pursuits to discover how the mind heals. However, in order to do this, I knew I had to look outside the proverbial box. Orthodox neurosciences and modern medical models were too physically deterministic.
