There was no need to add another paper to a glut of papers that already existed in the world at this time, especially since the paper wasn't designed to be an organ of her church. It was evidently of far greater importance than any of those lower aspects. She may have been aware in those years of the conspiracies that were unfolding in Europe, the diplomacy of King Edward VII who had maneuvered the major European nations into a potentially explosive adversarial position against each other which had already, some years before, turned the greatest economic development plan in human history to ashes. No one knew, of course, that this conspiratorial development would in six years time ignite World War I. One can conjecture, however, that a sensitive person understood the 'tone' and may have hoped that an intensive scientific focus on the political needs of mankind might have sparked the type of research that could bring her scientific development structure to the foreground, and help defuse the awful tensions that were being stirred up in Europe for sinister purposes. As it was, no one responded. The mentality of the age was too shallow to meet the demands of the moment. The consequence of this lack of response eventually cost ten million human lives. The technologies and the infrastructures did all exist, that could have made it possible for humanity to prevent the catastrophe.
If it was her hope to prevent the catastrophe, this hope was not fulfilled. It can said, however, and this can be said with some certainty, that if her development structure had been recognized and utilized at this early period, an entire century of war might have been avoided, and hundreds of millions of lives that were lost in these wars and in the economic and political wars that followed, could have been saved. As it was, the age unfolded into a period that will forever be known by its brutal atrocities that have far superseded the worst of all times.
Even our modern period might have unfolded differently in every respect, had her most advanced work come to light. The basis for a grand future for mankind is but a dimension in thought, and is within reach to be established even now. Had her goal been reached, the current century would most likely have been one of the greatest periods in human development of all times, instead of the blackest. The potential existed. The generous moment in history that could have set a new course for humanity found the people of the world unresponsive. The books of Mary Baker Eddy's new science in which her structure for scientific development is contained were read and studied in every country of the world. Only one vital aspect had been missing, so that no one effectively intervened in the catastrophic political developments of the time. And this aspect was apathy. Because of this apathy towards scientific discovery and the truth, the hopes of many nations collapsed. by which the conspirators saved their power-base and existence.
Even if the breakthrough recognition of Mary Baker Eddy's development structure had occurred in time before Hitler came to power, the course of history might still have been totally altered. As it was, the needed breakthrough was not made until the early 1980s, and even, then, it took more than a decade to come to terms with the momentous nature of what has been discovered. Neither has the discovery, itself, become generally known.
Any work on scientific Christian healing that focuses on this scientific development structure, which stands at the center of Mary Baker Eddy's achievements, cannot be complete without exploring the necessary link between it and the broad world of national and international policy issues. These are the issues by means of which oligarchs of influence control the fate of nations. Mankind is in need of self-healing, and this more so today, than ever, for its self-protection. Man's scientific self-perception, as having been created in the image of God, and man's policies for dealing with one another and achieving freedoms in the civil domain, are inseparable.
