First Sentence

"Foreword This book is based on the teachings of CS as given by Mary Baker Eddy in her textbook "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (1910). John W. Doorly, a teacher of CS, elucidated for the first time (especially between 1936 - 1950) the scientific system underlying the Science of CS and already drew attention to the various levels of spiritual consciousness from which being can be contemplated. So many contradictions arise in the study of the Science of being because it is not always realized that there exist various levels of spiritual consciousness that are scientifically identifiable. The CS textbook qualifies in specific ways the use of the term "Science", using e.g. Science alone, d. Science, absolute CS and CS according to the context and the level of consciousness from which a subject is viewed. An understanding of being must naturally include all these levels of Science. A new subject demands not only a new terminology but also a new style. It further asks the reader to take the time to ponder quietly the statements made rather than merely read them through. Then he will find his spiritual sense responding quite naturally to the vast panorama of the Science of Being, impelling him to accept his own being as comprehensive spiritual consciousness - living, dynamic, whole.
