Fallbrook, CA – The law of harmony and Christian Science healing
Date
Saturday, March 3, 2018
This event starts at 11:00 AM.

Josh Niles, Speaker

Niles didn’t know how he was going to make it another day, let alone another seven weeks. He had just finished his first week of Army Ranger School – an intense combat leadership course which has been called “the most physically and mentally demanding leadership school the Army has to offer.” He was exhausted and had no idea how he could continue.

But then, during a non-denominational Christian church service, something happened. As they sang hymns together, Niles felt the presence of Love. He’d learned from reading the Bible that God is Love, and what he felt during that service was definitely divine. It was the all-embracing presence of God, and it reminded him that he wasn’t on his own having to muscle his way forward. God, Love itself, was actually leading and supporting him. This new understanding enabled him to complete Ranger School successfully.

What Niles felt that day wasn’t just something special for him, but a divine law or rule that governs all our lives, just like the principles of math unfailingly govern the relationships between numbers. It was God’s law of harmony. Find out more in this lecture. Niles is a practitioner and teacher of Christian Science healing.

Consider what the new superhero film “Black Panther” does for black identity as well as women’s identity – and even for the cool factor of science and engineering. Mothers and fathers across the racial spectrum report children excited to put their 3-D glasses on and feel the Dolby percussion as they’re transported to the good-versus-evil battles over the make-believe, high-tech (and ahead-of-the-world) nation of Wakanda…….to read more click here

Listen to how this individual overcame a physical pain she was experiencing in her leg.

One day, after a wonderful day of Christian Science nursing training, I was walking back with one of my classmates when I felt my left leg hurting a bit. I wasn’t able to move it as freely as I normally could. I didn’t think too much of it at first and carried on with some activities as I got back home.

After praying for a while and feeling mentally clear, rightly standing up mentally for what was true of God and God’s creation, I went to eat dinner with friends. After dinner, I did some work and was still praying all the while—calmly acknowledging harmony as a law and spiritual existence as the only existence.

However, suggestions such as “This could get worse,” or “Maybe you won’t be able to perform in class tomorrow,” started coming to my thought…………Click here to read more or to listen

This woman shares how she was led to see that all – including our seeming “enemies” – have an innate ability to live up to their true nature as divine Love’s reflection.

One morning I had the flu and was feeling miserable, so I stayed home from work. I’ve always found it helpful to start my day with prayer, so that’s what I did. Then I opened the Bible at random. That’s when my eyes fell on a command to pray for our enemies.

There was only one person I considered an enemy. That was a man who had attacked my sister, my very best friend, and I definitely didn’t want to pray for him. He was convicted of being a serial rapist and is now serving a 120-year prison sentence, and I had been in the courtroom during the trial when woman after woman testified against him.

So here I was years later, with my Bible open to a passage commanding me to pray for my enemies. I knew it held a message for me about this experience. But I felt I just couldn’t pray for him. The same thing happened the next day, too – I opened to a passage instructing us to pray for our enemies, but couldn’t bring myself to do it.

The third day – still feeling sick – I again prayed, opened my Bible, and my eyes fell on yet another verse commanding us to pray for our enemies.

I closed my Bible, but this time with a slightly more humble heart. I was tired of feeling sick, and I had a hunch that this message was going to continue coming my way until I learned whatever I needed to learn from it.

So I gave this idea of praying for my enemy some thought. I had no idea how to even begin to pray honestly for this individual. Then I remembered a phrase by Monitor founder Mary Baker Eddy: “Desire is prayer” (“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” p. 1). I asked myself what I honestly desired for this man and realized I truly wanted him to find reformation of character, and knew that was possible even while serving a prison term. So I wholeheartedly prayed that he experience progress in his life. My prayers acknowledged that this is possible for everyone.

This may seem naive or even far-fetched when someone has committed atrocious crimes. But through studying and practicing Christian Science I’d increasingly come to understand that everyone’s true identity is spiritual, therefore good and loving, the very reflection of God, or divine Love. That’s not to say that our every thought or act is consistent with this spiritual reality. Clearly this man’s hadn’t been. But we all have the innate ability to understand and live in line with our true nature, to let God’s redeeming love lead us out of darkness into more upright thoughts and actions. Acknowledging this doesn’t mean excusing or tolerating wrongdoing, but rather opens the door for spiritual growth and reformation, which benefits all whose lives we touch, as well as ourselves. In this experience I felt reformed as I learned to pray for someone who I considered to be an enemy, even before I finally felt forgiveness for him.

Like what you see?

( Or, learn more about the Monitor Daily. )
Do I have more to learn about forgiveness? Oh yes! But I trust that my prayer blessed this man in some small way as it certainly blessed me. I was immediately healed of the flu.

By Laurie M. Scott

Dear reader:

Someone once told me that the Monitor’s reputation for unbiased journalism was all wrong.

He wasn’t criticizing The Christian Science Monitor or saying that it was – or should be – partisan about any policy, party, or person. He was saying that there were things on which the Monitor clearly did take sides: justice, compassion, dignity, or responsibility, just to name a few.

Former Monitor Editor Marshall Ingwerson summed it up this way: “The Monitor has a bias for progress.”

Christa Case Bryant’s recent cover story is a beautiful example of how that Monitor bias works.

In the aftermath of the 2014 killing of Michael Brown by a policeman in Ferguson, Mo., the discussion of “Black Lives Matter” and “Blue Lives Matter” often seemed in conflict with one another. The deep emotions on both sides – so often undergirded by very legitimate concerns – can often tempt us to choose teams.

But in Christa’s story, Elyssa Sullivan and Sgt. Charles Lowe did something interesting. In some ways, they chose the “other” team. Ms. Sullivan, a white suburbanite, joined Black Lives Matter protests. Sergeant Lowe, who is black, chose to join a police department that, many critics say, still struggles with racism, and which, according to data, is disproportionately white.

We usually think about segregation in physical terms when people of different races don’t live among each other. But recent elections brought to the surface a different kind of segregation – mental segregation.

You could say that Sullivan and Lowe are rebels against that trend. And you could say the Monitor is biased in support of them.

Time and again, Monitor reporters have found that when people have the courage to break out of narrow assumptions about those on the “other” side – no matter who that “other” is – and engage them with a genuine sense of goodwill, barriers fall.

That can be the residents of an Atlanta neighborhood learning to trust the cop next door. Or a dyed-in-the-wool Second Amendment supporter reaching out to gun-control advocates to address the suicide rate. Or residents of Greek islands embracing the refugees in their midst.

These stories are not about telling readers what to think. Rather, they begin to break down the idea that opposing views are irreconcilable.

Is the Monitor biased toward a sense of unity, that amid all the diversities of opinions and races and nations, we can find a common humanity that more strongly binds us? Yes.

The Monitor’s mission is “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind.” That can’t leave anyone out.

We hope you’ll help share the Monitor Daily.
