Day 108: Soul?
Soul has always been one of the tricky synonyms of God to me. So much so that when Mary Baker Eddy uses the word, it sticks out to me.

Day 107: Turning a corner
In my opinion, the book has turned a corner from introductory material to the meat of the theology. If you have made it this far, put your thinking cap on and pay close attention to what Mary Baker Eddy says. She has some real gems hidden in the text.
I pulled some ideas from the reading.
We must learn that evil is the awful deception and unreality of existence.
The original wording for this next one is:
The spiritual reality is the scientific fact in all things.
But I rewrote it. Does it make it clearer or change its meaning?
The scientific fact is the spiritual reality in all things.
Grabbed the core idea and removed the other words:
Error of belief = embracing sin, sickness, and death
I don’t really think most people embrace sin, sickness, and death but they embrace the road that took them there.
It is the mortal belief which makes the body discordant and diseased in proportion as ignorance, fear, or human will governs mortals.
Of those three, ignorance, fear, and human will, the last is most often the culprit.

Day 106: Specific Guidance
Day 95’s reading is about treatment (or thought that make up a healing treatment). Today’s reading is about specific guidance for our own actions, thoughts, and lives.
I’ve copied the text of these two pages and keep them on my mobile phone with me at all times.
I would love to know what pages have you marked as ***important and why?
