- 7/13/2012This mini Lecture certainly gives the boot to any and all aggressive mental suggestions that one isn't "good enough" or "doesn't know enough" to do and share this healing work. Thank you!! (and, me too, I wish it were longer!)

- 7/13/2012A video of Mr. Benson's entire lecture -- ninety minutes of non-stop helpful and inspiring ideas -- used to be available at www.prayerthatheals.org, a web site sponsored by Christian Science churches in Southern California.
I noticed that Mr. Benson is giving the lecture in Long Beach, California on July 21, 2012, so hopefully either the sponsoring church(es) will film it again and make the video available online, or www.prayerthatheals.org will re-post the earlier video.

- 7/13/2012Wow - YES to this message - it woke me up - finished so quickly, though. Great that we can hear this message over and over.... Thank you.
Marie
- 7/13/2012A perfect encapsulation of an important point - that we are never let off the hook because we think we are not good enough. That doesn't cut it with our heavenly Father, who can and will work with us right where we are in our level of spiritual understanding.
I love the clarity of the sound and visual, and the delicious taster it provides to dig deeper. A great little video. Thank you to the producers, and of course to Jon.

Elena Shideler, California (San Diego)
- 7/15/2012Today we study and admired, Moses, King David, Peter, Paul and many of the Bible characters that, although they committed huge mistakes, they learned from them.
Jesus, well, even he wasn't so perfect while growing up, according to the books that didn't make it into the Bible, he too had to "fight his inner devils", as the world would say today.
However, each one of them grew spiritually to the point of "metanoia", a repentance so radical, so complete, that reached the heart of God.
Mrs. Eddy explains it this way: "Christian Science presents unfoldment, not accretion; it manifests no material growth from molecule to mind, but an impartation of the divine Mind to man and the universe." S&H 68:27
I guess we are not off the hook.

nela
- 7/17/2012Thanks, Jon. This mini-lecture is great. Talking about Christian healing and not being "the type" and so writing "ourselves off,” reminds me of when I was in high school riding home on the bus. A popular song back then was, "Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me" and I was singing it my head. :-) Then I thought, "Oh, no! If peace on earth would begin with me, we're doomed…but what if?” I imagined a lone “super hero” saving the earth. Then came the thought of the angels heralding the birth of Jesus with, "…on earth peace, good will toward men" (Luke 2:14). I’ve known it ever since as the “Christmas Mandate.” I considered it as a mathematical equation: Peace on earth = Good will toward men. I realized I had to do something, at least, like show “good will” to all. Sadly, I recognized that not even one day went by for as long as I could remember when I was totally at peace. Was that even possible? It must be. God doesn’t mandate something we can’t fulfill. I had to change. I had to learn how to establish inner peace and share it with the world – to do my part. Not a false peace; but for real. I knew God would help me and God did. It took about two weeks of “prayer and fasting.” I was changed and realized that if I could do it – anyone can!!! I’m so grateful for Christian Science, which teaches us to expect healing through applying God’s laws of Love to the human condition. It changes expectation from wishful thinking to practical healing.

- 10/20/2012So, now the call is to get at it and let the Holy Spirit get its message through to us who've heard this great short message.
And Nela, thanks for your sharing. What a message to get on a school bus.
