My journey to “the promised land”

I sat open-mouthed as people shared heartfelt gratitude for healings of all kinds of problems.

A long time ago I arrived in Mumbai (then called Bombay), joining my husband, who was working there, for what I felt would be an experience of a lifetime. Little did I know it would be life-changing, taking me on a spiritual journey beyond my wildest dreams. 

As a result of my experience and ambitions as a singer, I was introduced to a superb pianist, a resident of Mumbai who had received her training in London. My rapport with this spiritually minded lady was immediate. I found her to have a most loving manner and a calm presence that intrigued me, and her integrity and honesty were readily apparent. She always insisted we leave at once after Saturday evening events because of church the next morning.

Prior to leaving the United Kingdom, I had dabbled in meditation and special diets, searching for something that would bring me the satisfaction I longed for. One evening I asked my friend, “What is this church that you go to?” Her response that she attended Christian Science services surprised me. Golly. I knew nothing of Christian Science other than a few disparaging opinions that I had heard from others. “Aren’t they the people who don’t believe in doctors?” I asked. My friend laughed.
