This stage, actually is not far off. All the essential elements are already in place. The Hitler's are all lined up to take their throne. The only thing that is hindering the final step is the failure of the war in the former Yugoslavia to achieve the required threshold of destruction from within. However, if one considers the ease with which this war against humanity has been escalated, one must conclude that the threshold may soon be reached that allows the next step in the destruction of humanity to unfold.
One can hardly overestimate, therefore, the importance of Mary Baker Eddy's demand, to watch one's motives and acts in order not to allow one's consciousness to be manipulated, or for that matter, to manipulate another. She has made this scientific imperative a By-Law, and placed it into the Manual of the Mother Church, and has formally required this By-Law to be read aloud once a month as part of the Christian Science church service, lest the people forget their duty to themselves, to God, and to mankind.
This is the scientific demand that she required to be read: "A Rule for Motives and Acts. - The members of this Church should daily watch and pray to be delivered from all evil, from prophesying, judging, condemning, counseling, influencing or being influenced erroneously."*(Manual 40:4)
This By-Law is important for all metaphysical healing. It causes one to stay attuned to reality and to avoid subtle errors and the resulting tragedies.
Christ Jesus presented a similar note of caution. He urged the people to be aware of the "leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."*(See Matthew 16) He didn't tell the people to beware of the Pharisees and Sadducees themselves, but of their doctrine, of their manipulations of consciousness, their attitude destroying activities. Apparently the disciples understood what he meant by the 'leaven' of Pharisees and Sadducees, that the metaphor referred to their destructive (oligarchic) doctrine. This caution is still required today. The Pharisees and Sadducees may have different faces in this modern world, but their operation is still the same, and so is the nature of their doctrine.
Mankind's future will be decided by the seriousness with which this requirement of divine Science is being recognized and adhered to. The success will determine if mankind will continue to recognize itself with appreciation for what man represents, manifest as love, and to translate this love into scientific, technological, and economic development - the development of the human potential. Failing this, however, a point of no return may some day be reached when love becomes extinguished, and the truth about the global attack on love remains hidden behind the supposedly benign facade of the oligarchic controlled U.N..
Without the truth becoming known and being understood, there is little chance for a return to a moral standard and for the reestablishment of love. Fortunately, the truth tends to have a power of its own to make its demands on humanity. Christ Jesus' words were evidently not lightly spoken when he said to the people of the world as it were, "If ye continue in my word, than are ye my disciples in deed, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."*(John 8:32)
In order that the incredible demand of the truth could be understood, Christ Jesus promoted the truth's power to heal in cases of bodily ailments and diseases of all sorts. This may also be the avenue by which the nature of the truth may be most fully appreciated in today's world. It may be that the scientific Christian healing of disease, which Mary Baker Eddy pioneered a century ago, and which scientific model she has provided for mankind for all ages to come, may be the only weapon mankind has available in its defense and in defending its ability to love - that is, in appreciating its nature as divine image, the image of God. Without this defense, the atrocities that are committed against mankind will be overwhelming at one point, and will be destructive to such a great extend than anything mankind has experienced to date will pale in comparison.
