         On the list of Smithsonian Magazine’s “100 Most Significant Americans of All Time,”  is one woman, who had faced nervous collapse to such an extent that often she had to be carried about from one boarding house to another.           

          Tragedies had stricken her. She lost her newlywed husband just when she had first become pregnant. And this was only the first blow of many that would lay her low. And in those days, laying low meant lying in bed where she spent most of her miserable days in states of hysteria and psycho-genetic paralysis. Her daughter had to be brought up by someone else.

        Before I tell you her name, I ask you: How could anyone go from feeling totally lost to finding she could be a  highly productive, immensely influential, and tremendously powerful human being? 

         Her success story began like this.

         At the age of 41, she was “conveyed” by her second husband to the office of Phineas Quimby, a clock maker turned healer in Maine.  Quimby, who had gained a reputation for using the power of mind to help patients recover, greeted Mary who was by then an invalid. Yet soon in his presence, something sparked a remarkable change in  her.

        What he seems to have done, is to intuit the vigorous woman that she was in Truth. Then he was able to convey to her the sensation of who her True Self was. Swiftly, the false beliefs about herself ---that she was a hopeless loser, began to evaporate.

          She was able to get up from her chair, to walk from his office outside, to break into laughter, to rejoice in all the newness . Soon, she began to write about her recovery, expressing her insights and beliefs about how the power of soul and mind could transform anybody’s troubled life.                 

          For the next fifteen years, despite some relapses and mishaps and a painful divorce from her second husband ,that first manuscript-in-work was with her wherever she boarded.

         Even after she self-published it in 1875 and it sold 1,000 copies, it was in the satchel she carried among the other manuscripts she was now working on. Passionate about new-found purpose, she was always revising; then using her updated writings as lesson plans. For her empowered personality attracted students, ardent followers, and apprentices until she had hundreds of devotees.

        Her major book, first titled Science and Health, which she revised 50 times and subtitled With Key to the Scriptures was described by the Women's National Book Association in 1992 as one of the “75 Books by Women Whose Words Have Changed the World" .

          Her “words”  became the foundation of the Christian Science church that she founded, as well as the College that she established and the monthly magazines and weekly periodicals that she started to publish.

         At the age of 87, she established a newspaper which to this day is a prestigious periodical enjoying a large circulation.

         No matter what kind of eccentric personality Mary Baker Eddy had, we can only wish we were as prolific as her. That into our very late 80’s, we might also be actively manifesting our purpose in life!

          How could a woman who had been a confused and befuddled loser half of her life, have revealed her purpose at all? 

          She was made aware, at first through the help of Quimby, that it was her mistaken beliefs and her false ideas about herself that hid her inner power. They kept her from her Truth strengths.
