Focus on reality

April 17, 2026 | 1 comment

Jesus Christ was a master healer.  He knew how to heal people through prayer and left his example for us to follow.

Mary Baker Eddy, a devoted follower of Jesus, figured out how to heal spiritually like Jesus taught, and shared what she learned in her book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.  

In this book she explains that Jesus had a different point of view than observers around him.  He mentally lived in the realm of Spirit, whereas people around him were, for the most part, believing they lived in matter.  

Mrs. Eddy writes, “To Jesus, not materiality, but spirituality, was the reality of man’s existence, while to the rabbis the spiritual was the intangible and uncertain, if not the unreal” (Science and Health, p. 352).

To heal like Jesus healed, we too, need to see spirituality as reality, rather than materiality.  We need to be living the realm of Spirit, not in the fiction of matter, to see what Jesus saw and experience what Jesus promised we would experience if we practiced his teachings faithfully.

We can do that!  It’s a choice we make.  

We can choose to think out from Spirit, live in Spirit, and experience the blessings of being spiritual here and now.  We don’t have to wither away in the dreamland of mortal mind suffering from the temporal illusions of matter.  We can live in the reality of Spirit and find health and peace.  It’s a much more enjoyable way to live.

  1. When Spirit becomes substance to us it changes our world view and our own identity. We become other centered rather than self centered.. And the good thing is that everything turns out better.
