Law Unto Yourself

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    “You say that you have not slept well or have overeaten. You are a law unto yourself. Saying this and believing it, you will suffer in proportion to your belief and fear.” by Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health p. 385

    “Law: that which is laid, set or fixed,” and “Believe: to be persuaded of the truth of something.” (Websters 1828)

    “Saying this and believing it” stuck out to me today. We are continually instructed to watch thought and to not to tolerate anything ungodlike or allow it to linger in consciousness. These practical teachings are helping me understand how to be a “law unto yourself.” Instead of thinking the wrong thought repeatedly almost undetected I can do as one member put so well, “…drown it (thoughts that suggest absence of God) out in flood-tides of spiritual thoughts: Christ-centered, Christ-elevating thoughts, thoughts of gratitude, of appreciation, mighty passages of scripture, psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, angelic thoughts of divine empowerment.” by Parthens, from the November 2014 Love is The Liberator p.23

    I love what Mrs. Eddy says makes us a law unto ourselves. She makes this thorough list:

    Nothing can come to me except that which comes from God, and that is always good.

    I am a law unto myself. There is no ignorant, malicious, willful,superstitious, sympathetic, intentionally directed malpractice from theosophy, palmistry, phrenology, occultism, witchcraft, necromancy, black or white magic, spiritualism, animal magnetism, hypnotism, mental science, free love, malpractitioners, trustees,directors, laymen, occultists, materia medica, or from Roman Catholicism, neighbors, friends, enemies, acquaintances or relatives,that can mesmerize me or influence me or confuse my spiritual continuity, or interfere with my spiritual work, or cloud my vision (mental), or darken my consciousness; neither can it impede my progress in my true understanding of God. The Blue Book pg. 266.

    Thank you Mrs. Eddy for this marvelous complete list!
