Mary Baker Eddy's life-work is actually made up of four major accomplishments.  Only two were mentioned earlier.  Each one of these is complete in itself and provides the foundation for the next.  They are:
01
.1.  The discovery of Christian Science in the year 1866.  This stage unfolded out of a 45-year development in personal understanding.  It culminated a period of searching while struggling with ill health, formulating fundamental recognitions that eventually came to fruition in the moments when she faced near certain death from of a severe spinal injury.  It was in these critical moments that the spark was born that she determined would not go out, by which she would later lay the foundation for a new Science.

.2.  The founding of the new science of Christ-like metaphysical healing was her second major accomplishment.  This includes the publishing of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.  It also includes the demonstration of the practicality of her newly discovered science.  This took place over a 22 years period, filled with healing and teaching others to heal.

.3.  Her third major accomplishment was the establishment of the structure for scientific development, which she had kept hidden in full public view.  This structure was largely complete by 1889-90.  This puts it some 450 years past the beginning of mankind's second great period of Renaissance, which unfolded in Italy in 1439-40 (primarily by the work of the Counsel of Florence).  This new period of renaissance was born on the renewed Christ-like recognition that man is made in the image of God.  This recognition became the foundation for the nation-state.  What the fruits of Mary Baker Eddy's recognition will ultimately be, remains yet to be determined.

This third accomplishment of Mary Baker Eddy also includes the establishment of her church, its government, its buildings, its institutions, its publishing society, and several support structures, all of which were structured directly on the basis of the scientific development model that she had created and then obscured within the body of her work.

.4.  Her fourth major accomplishment was the establishment of the Christian Science Monitor.  It was evidently no small feat to establishing an international daily newspaper as a woman, especially one at the age of 87.  But this is not where the accomplishment lies, for its fruition is yet to be realized by which the accomplishment comes to light.  The papers stands in metaphor for the dimension of applying the Science of metaphysics to public policies, in individual motives, and in governmental objectives, including oligarchic impositions and the various modes of operation they involve, principles they do or should reflect, or are an violation of.

The forth part of Mary Baker Eddy's work is probably the least understood.  It has apparently little direct connection to the processes of Christ healing that she had become famous for.  This connection is yet to be set up.  It is drawn into focus in this book.  This does not mean that the Christian Science Monitor, itself, is being explored here.  Far from it.  It is the idea behind the Christian Science Monitor that is presented here, and this is done by bringing together Mary Baker Eddy's development structure with the realm of public policies in order that scientific discovery may establish a platform for economic, political, social, and moral freedom manifest in a new measure of security on this planet.

In fundamental terms this platform does already exist.  Mankind is complete.  By its very nature man is fundamentally free and secure.  This is a scientific fact.  This fact, however, need yet to be learned, be understood, and be acknowledged and utilized.
