Holding fast to what I was seeing spiritually

About a year ago, I had a healing of impaired vision. One morning I found I couldn’t see much at all out of one eye. I didn’t call anyone for help, but decided to pray for myself with the idea that spiritual discernment is the true basis of seeing.

That day, as many times before, I was reassured by the definition of eyes in the Glossary of Science and Health: “EYES. Spiritual discernment, — not material but mental” (p. 586:3). I felt convinced that the time we’re living in is really God’s time of giving more goodness to us, not a time of being endangered or estranged from Him. I also remembered a mid-twentieth century testimony of a woman who’d been healed of several years of blindness by holding to the fact that eyes are spiritual discernment and that meant she could see, because she knew she had spiritual discernment.

I didn’t talk about my problem and I stayed quiet that day and the next – holding fast to what I was seeing spiritually. By the third or fourth day, I could see perfectly normally with both eyes.
