Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910) was the founder of the Christian Science Church. She had been embodied as Mary of Bethany, sister of Lazarus and Martha. In fulfilling her mission, she persevered in overcoming poor health in her early life as well as in meeting later legal and media attacks and opposition from organized religion.
Commissioned by Jesus the Christ, the ascended master Hilarion, and Mother Mary, Mary Baker Eddy was given certain revelations which she set forth in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. She taught the science of the immaculate concept, of holding the perfect image, the perfect blueprint for every part of life, knowing that when we see the vision of perfection, all energy must coalesce to outpicture that perfection.
Mary Baker Eddy was an instrument of the Lord’s healing, but her attempts to define the religion of Christ fell short of the powerful mantle of healing that was upon her. The healing that flowed through her far exceeded the limited matrix of the teaching she delivered.
Mrs. Eddy was beset in the early years by a series of court cases which stirred public controversy and raised questions concerning her doctrine, organization, and followers. Some of the litigation was vengefully initiated by former associates who had defected from the movement, and some by Mrs. Eddy herself in defense of her teachings. Although she was vilified in the press, for the most part she emerged victorious from each case. As she wrote in her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, “Trials are proofs of God’s care.”
Mary Baker Eddy made her ascension in the 20th century. Mary Baker Eddy is now the ascended lady master Theosophia, Goddess of Wisdom.
