Day 100: Human will and opinion

192:4-194:5

This chapter’s title is Physiology, but I always just think of it as the body. The chapter flows from the body –> materiality –> human thought –> human will\opinion.

In Science, you can have no power opposed to God, and the physical senses must give up their false testimony.

Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power.

Day 174: Objections

341-343:5

This is the first few pages of Chapter 11, Some Objections Answered.

I'm going to read this as though I am one of those with objections in order to see if I have lingering doubts or lack of understanding. I underlined:

In Christian Science mere opinion is valueless.

I might go one step farther and say it can be harmful to someone's progress to throw my own opinion on top of their work, or the other way around. But Mary Baker Eddy's point was works, not words. So in that spirit, I will continue to listen.
