Day 215: Accidents & Heredity

424:5-426:4

Mary Baker Eddy’s discussion of accidents is a great argument against chance, luck, or fate:

Accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind, and we must leave the mortal basis of belief and unite with the one Mind, in order to change the notion of change to the proper sense of God’s unerring direction and thus bring out harmony.

Heredity is a tricky one. Somehow the illness seems more personal, hidden, and inevitable. Mary Baker Eddy says:

If you have sound and capacious lungs and want them to remain so, be always ready with the mental protest against the opposite belief in heredity.

I think the point for me is to understand that God’s law is inevitable and always working, instead of heredity.
