Freed from pain and fascination with cybercrime
While listening to a radio program, I became fascinated by what I was hearing. The program discussed the increase in cybercrime and explained how cybercriminals were finding new ways to avoid detection.
The following morning, I woke up with severe pain in one of my legs. I managed to get into a chair and picked up a copy of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, that I regularly read from cover to cover. In my current read-through, I had recently left off at a paragraph starting with the word nerves, and I immediately saw the word electricity that I’d written above that passage some time ago. I’m not sure why, but it had come to thought as an inspiration at the time. In hindsight, I must have written the word electricity above the word nerves because I intuitively felt there was a connection between the two that needed to be refuted.
On this morning when I was experiencing that intense pain in my leg, I started reading that same paragraph. It begins, “Nerves are an element of the belief that there is sensation in matter, whereas matter is devoid of sensation” (p. 480). Instantly, the pain disappeared.
