Music of the Spheres Brings Comfort

I would like to share an experience that occurred a few years ago, after our holy practitioner here in Australia passed on. In spite of being rebuked about it often, I had very often allowed myself to be carried off in my own musings about various wrongdoings in the world and wrongs done to me and I had forgotten to truly thank God every day for the beautiful good that He is always doing and I was sorry – very deeply sorry for forgetting and neglecting my duty to God, as written by Mary Baker Eddy.

A few weeks of this deep soul searching and feeling undeserving of the Holy prayer and teaching I had been freely given by our Australian practitioner for over twenty years, led to one afternoon. I felt the greatest feeling of sadness that took me almost beyond help. I fell down onto the bed and sobbed to our dearest Father-Mother God that I was very very sorry for being neglectful, that Christian Science could not go out of the world – that I am so very grateful for God’s Love! I asked, “Please God will you show me what I can do for the great and holy cause of Christian Science.” At this very low point I heard a sound in my ears – like a deep harp or a choir of harps – a warm tinkling hum in my ears. I couldn’t tell any words from it, but this sound conveyed to me the most loving, Divine, Sublime, tenderest care and comfort – I felt a brush of a touch – a comforting angel from God. And dear Mrs Eddy’s words came to thought: “the music of the spheres.” This truly was of God – beyond what I can; even now, understand. Such strong Love within and all around. At this point my dear husband came into the room and he touched my hand. He then went on to say “Your job now is to know these two books like the back of your hand – that is your job!” and he thrust into my hands Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and the Holy Bible. We sang together hymn 123:

“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand”

I finally put down my complaining – replaying wrongs that had never really happened to the real me anyhow! Not long after this God brought me to Plainfield Independent online – where I found our pure Holy practitioners whose teaching was exactly what I so needed. And here we are over five years later … throughout this time I have been healed of a life-long malady, healed of depression, healed of headaches, backaches, migraines, a breathing issue, a digestive disorder, financial and employment problems … and most importantly I am learning how to do my work for God in the way that I should always have done it! To repay my debt of Love to God and all the blessed and Holy good he has done in my life!
