| Summary |
"Rudimental Divine Science" by Mary Baker Eddy is a foundational text on Christian Science, written in the late 19th century. This book serves as a scientific publication, exploring the principles and fundamentals of Eddy's philosophy which emphasizes spiritual understanding over material reality. The likely topic revolves around the concept of mind-healing and the nature of God according to Christian Science, focusing on the relationship between spirituality and health. In the book, Mary Baker Eddy outlines her views on the nature of God as the infinite Mind and the basis of all existence, positing that true healing comes from understanding divine principles rather than physical treatment. She discusses the non-existence of matter, suggesting that all physical ailments are ultimately rooted in a deceitful perception of reality that can be corrected through spiritual insight. Eddy stresses that the practitioner's thoughts must be filled with truth and love for effective healing to occur, reinforcing the idea that the only true sense of self and existence comes from understanding one's identity as a reflection of God. Throughout the text, she emphasizes the moral dimension of her practice, arguing that true Christian Science is rooted in love, selflessness, and humility, leading to a higher consciousness of well-being.
