Never Alone: How Spiritual Ideas Work in Us

Public Talk:  "Never Alone ~ How Spiritual Ideas Work in Us

Speaker:  Melanie Wahlberg from Lake Forest, CA
                 Practitioner and in the full time healing ministry of
                 Christian Science

Quote from speaker:
 “In the middle of difficult circumstances, it would be so reassuring to feel supported in our efforts for progress, instead of feeling alone. In this talk, I discuss what I’ve found helpful in my practice of Christian Science healing: that God loves us deeply, is an active presence of good in our lives and provides fresh ideas about our spiritual nature that wipe away fear and reveal inspired solutions.
 
By turning to God for help, we open up to divine ideas and feel the presence of God in tangible ways, ways that change our lives and our health for the better.  I call this healing.
 
During the lecture, I explore God as Spirit, Life, and Mind, rather than as a man-like figure making arbitrary decisions about our lives.  This divine Mind is the one source of all good and true ideas.  So God’s thoughts remind us of our spiritual identity, guide us to express more love, and show us our divine intelligence.
 
I talk about Christ Jesus’ teachings in the Bible as being the best example of how to heal by listening to these ideas.  And I delve into Mary Baker Eddy's book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, as the explanation of Christian Science healing based on Christ Jesus’ life.  I give examples of how this healing approach has transformed lives, including a mother and her infant daughter who experienced physical healing.  The mother said, “It felt like the ideas themselves did the work”.
