God the All-seeing, All hearing.

[KarenM]

“And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.” Mark 7:32-35

On page 170 in Miscellaneous Writings, referring to another healing of a blind man by Jesus Mrs. Eddy says “The method of Jesus was purely metaphysical; and no other method is Christian Science. In the passage recording Jesus’ proceedings with the blind man (Mark viii.) he is said to have spat upon the dust. Spitting was the Hebrew method of expressing the utmost contempt. So Jesus is recorded as having expressed contempt for the belief of material eyes as having any power to see. Having eyes, ye see not; and ears, ye hear not, he had just told them. The putting on of hands mentioned, she (Mrs. Eddy) explained as the putting forth of power. “Hand,” in the Bible usage, often means spiritual power.

Am I seeing or hearing as matter or Mind? It must be Mind therefore eternal, immutable, intact, spiritual, and perfect now.
