Synopsis

Christian Science axiom dictates that it is faith in God that will heal all physical and mental ills. In The Christ Within, first published in 1925, Lillian De Waters provides a poetic and persuasive argument for the thesis that the power to heal oneself lies within the individual and is a matter sometimes of mental effort and sometimes of spiritual effort. And while "health" generally connotes physical soundness, De Waters addresses a more holistic view, arguing that the way to peace of mind, body, and soul lies through the glorious embrace of Christ. American spiritual thinker LILLIAN DE WATERS (b. 1883) was one of the first students of Christian Science, eventually breaking off on her own to stress the inseparability of Jesus Christ and the primary divine force, thereby falling between Christian Science and Orthodox Christianity. She is also the author of The Hidden Truth and The Great Answer (the Message of Ontology).

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Christ Within book is a treasure for anyone who is seeking to discover a new way of living that is free from past conditioning and who is now open to accept the great good that is available to all here and now—there is a major commitment required; however, the rewards will be immense. The author discovered from experience that studying and understanding the deeper meanings of Scriptures is the quickest and most direct way for many people to experience greater light or illumination. She also recognized that the Scriptures often require interpretation, because they can be very much like Zen koans, sometimes requiring an enlightened teacher, such as the author, to share insights and help students raise their vision. This book guides the reader to experience a divine journey filled with many epiphanies as the hidden meanings of Scripture are revealed. With each new understanding comes the opportunity for greater illumination. It is this greater illumination that allows an individual to “rest” in and begin to experience a life that was intended from the beginning of time and to let go of all the struggles and effort. Through an increasing illumination of the reader, the “Christ” within will become more apparent as the true Self, and there will be a joyous realization of the Presence—it is a life where Grace begins to reveal itself in daily activities.
