Here are some thoughts I had on that subject: “What is implied in the title? There is no mind in matter, and atoms are the supposed smallest complete forms of various kinds of matter. Atomic force, then, is mindless, unintelligent, and so manifests unpurposed, unintelligent combinations of these tiny particles. So it would involve accident, chance, and so manifest both possible good and possible evil effects.” Now these researchers are finding evidence of intelligence and purposeful intelligent thinking, not accidental good results. Is it matter that is producing these results, or is it intelligence? Is it atoms, or Mind? Interesting.

This message is really an eye opener. To me it shows us that many people in our world today are really seeking a better understanding of how the body and mind work. And more and more they are realizing that the mind-body connection isn’t what it appears to be. For me it is a God connection that really helps and heals mankind.

When asked years ago by one of my girl scouts what I would do if God didn’t heal me (she knew I was a practicing Christian Scientist) I simply said, “I don’t know because He has always healed me.” But for those individuals who have not had that kind of experience I can understand their seeking an answer through matter because that is what seems so real. It is what we see with our eyes and because of that very fact they have a difficult time seeing past the material to the spiritual idea of man.

But I am so grateful for the progress that is geing made in that direction and for the thinkers in our world who are seeking a better understanding of health and where it actually comes from. Thanks Don, for this great and informative Blog.

I liked the statement “…the mind has great power to maximize health.” As the authors continue, this takes the “mind-body connections to another level.”

For my own health needs, I’ve found that the highest level of understanding is recognizing God as the one Mind. When I see myself as a child of His creation, then I reflect His Mind, and this brings my thinking to a much higher and more spiritual level. I’ve had many healings using this thought process. Mary Baker Eddy’s book “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” offers the best explanation of this method of healing.

Faith in the study of matter is a fascinating subject to many and certainly can reveal some important discoveries. But it will always come up short in the universe created by God, the one Mind.

Thank you for this “food for thought” blog.

It shows that the element of chance is actually not a factor in our well-being.

This is a keeper to share. Sure lets one know that Mary Baker Eddy was divinely inspired to write SCIENCE AND HEALTH as a textbook for study of he Bible and a textbook for living—and to write it when she did. As a Christian Scientists, it makes me even more grateful for the Truths found in this textbook. I am grateful to have it part of my life and to watch thinking people acknowledge the truths in this book. Ann Botts, Banning, Ca

Thank you for alerting us to these other thinkers and to their educated findings. There is definitely room for alternative care for our bodies…and the world is coming to this conclusion.
