The Christ Within: A Study of the Absolute

Christian Science axiom dictates that it is faith in God that will heal all physical and mental ills. In The Christ Within, first published in 1925, Lillian De Waters provides a poetic and persuasive argument for the thesis that the power to heal oneself lies within the individual and is a matter sometimes of mental effort and sometimes of spiritual effort. And while "health" generally connotes physical soundness, De Waters addresses a more holistic view, arguing that the way to peace of mind, body, and soul lies through the glorious embrace of Christ. American spiritual thinker LILLIAN DE WATERS (b. 1883) was one of the first students of Christian Science, eventually breaking off on her own to stress the inseparability of Jesus Christ and the primary divine force, thereby falling between Christian Science and Orthodox Christianity. She is also the author of The Hidden Truth and The Great Answer (the Message of Ontology).

Lillian DeWaters, as a well-known teacher of The Absolute, was sought after as a spiritual healer throughout the world. She published over 30 books in 15 languages and these books are outstanding in the areas of Christian Mysticism and Spirituality. Serious students will immediately recognize and treasure the message of Truth in each book. She was, and through her writings, continues to be a wayshower for revealing the true Self to all those who are prepared and ready to accept their “Identity” as the “I Am Self.” She began a serious study of metaphysics and the Bible in her early teens and in 1924, she had an awakening experience where a veil was parted and Truth was revealed to her. From that point she began to receive numerous unfoldments which have been shared throughout her books.
