Notes on Metaphysical Work Done by Dr. Alfred E. Baker, M.D., C.S.D. While Associated With Mary Baker Eddy




Table of Contents






Preface

A thought of Mother’s — “Who doth but give me of his earthly wealth, gives to me that which cannot reach the heart and may but serve to stir my neighbor’s envy: while he who gives me just a simple thought of Life, or Truth, or Love, gives to me that which I may give again, yet have and keep and use throughout eternity.”

The lie of autosuggestion: Mental suggestion through transference, animal magnetism, mental malpractice. All error is one evil.

Frustration: Mother is of use. Mother is welcome. Mother does not want to run away. Mother is God’s idea. Mother is the at-one-ment.

Tuesday. Clothed in the panoply of Love, Mother cannot be reached by human hate. Mother is clothed in the panoply of Love. Mrs. S. and no one else can clothe Mother. Mother needs nothing; Mother is God-idea, complete. TRUTH IS.

There is no proper time for Mother’s understanding. God is the eternal NOW. The lie and the liar are not in God’s time. Mother is at peace, in Life, Truth and Love.

Anatomy is a lie. Only Truth is made manifest in the body. Mother is governed by God. Mother is God. Mother has all consciousness. Mother is all consciousness. Mother is the Christ-consciousness, in heaven and on earth; on earth as our Leader. Her followers can only partake of the reflection of this consciousness — light through Mother. It cannot be stolen.

M––– cannot delay, cannot interfere with the law of health, holiness and happiness. M––– is the mark of the beast.

All inharmonious action is without authority, power or permission to express itself through Mother’s mind or body. Mother’s mind and body is Principle — omniactive divine Love. Mother’s energy is spiritual, not nervous. The lie that Mother is neurotic is powerless.

Mother’s work cannot be perverted, reversed or contradicted by Mrs.–––’s evil mind or evil lies. Mrs.––– will pursue error in its course to its and her destruction.

Error is here in human form.

Divine intelligence creates and governs all things in perfect harmony.




Leadership

Malicious animal magnetism cannot express itself through the Directors that there is any Leader but Truth. There is but one Leader — God — Mother’s thought. They must know there is but one Leader, and that Leader is established forever in the eternal Love, which is eternal Life. To think otherwise is now and forever abnormal and impossible. This is the absolute law governing church, followers and Directors. Mother said, “They must realize that I AM.”

The lie and the liar are one; which is the only reversal.




Home

Mother’s home is God, Love. Mother’s furnishings are God’s ideas. Mother’s house is the earth and the fullness thereof, Love.




Household

Mother’s household will be chastened by Love. They will not fear or hate our humble and lowly Mother in her beautiful and holy Christ-way. They will love, honor and respect Mother, and owe Mother endless homage. This law is inviolate. Malpractice cannot break through this law. Love has no reversal. God has no aliens in His household. Mother’s students cannot label or talk about her as a person. No one can know, or see, or move Mother’s mind but God.




Special Work For Mother Before She Spoke To Scientists

There shall be no mental confusion. There is no claim of mental malpractice, no claim of mental or moral idiocy. This error will destroy itself for Mr.––.




Daily Test

Always test as to whether a belief of a law of malicious animal magnetism or the law of Love is working, by seeing if the thoughts and actions would unify or divide the workers in the field — ourselves and others.

A man-made theory makes a theory-made man, and a theory-made man makes a man-made theory; and neither makes anything. It is a lie. There are no theories concerning Mother. Mother is unlabored, unlabeled, untrammeled, free and fearless, one with God.




Special Work

Mother is health, purity, strength, beauty and perfection — manifest. Mother is perfect. Mother expresses harmony.

Mother is Christ-Mary.

Declaration is demonstration. This is God’s law, not a human assertion.

What is true of the claim is not the Truth.

To utter the absolute is to demonstrate the absolute. Mother said today, I am the only one who can speak the absolute to her with understanding.

So-called loyal students who read or study Oriental witchcraft cannot cause an unknown chemicalization. Mother can recognize all error. Mother sees all that Mind sees. Mother sees all.




The Claim

On the stroke of the hour death will come.




Treatment For Malicious Claim

There is no time but God’s. No death. No hour for death to strike. Every moment belongs to God, and is God.

Animal magnetism cannot separate Mother from her best and greatest good, nor limit her supply. Spirit is Mother’s unlimited source of supply. Mother is not dependent upon her personality for her needs. Animal magnetism cannot hide her work from her nor hide her judgment, nor make her feel failure nor lack. God gives to Mother abundantly all that she needs. No error hiding or lurking to strike at Mother.

Mother is not in bondage to anything or anyone. Mother is Principle, NOW and EVER.

Mother’s understanding is perfect. Mother reflects the sublime one intelligence, one Life, one perfection. Mother is the spiritual realization of all perfection.

Mother is spiritual consciousness. Mortal mind is a mesmeric lie — not Mind or any faculty of Mind. Mr.––– cannot argue, for error has no voice. Error cannot make itself seen, felt or heard.

Divine Principle is the root, the substance, therefore divine Principle cannot be impoverished. Every hair of Mother’s head is numbered, and as Principle cannot create an atom or element the opposite of itself, which reflects only growth, Mother’s hair cannot fall out or become impoverished. Color is a symbol of Principle.

Aggressive mental suggestion cannot harm Mother. Aggressive mental suggestion cannot affright or touch Mother. God’s grace is sufficient.

Mother is harmony. Mother’s body is harmonious — the manifestation of thought-force is perfect. Love is the eternal action. Mother’s name for muscle is thought-force. Mother’s thoughts and actions are not material, they are spiritual, overcoming death and material life. Mother is sustained by Love. Mother’s mind is instantaneous in its action, without friction and with ease.

The claim of insufficiency cannot be found in Truth.

Mother’s advisor is God alone. No person can advise Mother audibly or silently.

There is but one action — omniaction. No bowel action. (Note: this overcame such claim for Mother of six days duration.)




Arsenic Poison

There is no one to administer arsenic poison. It cannot be administered behind an unsuspected lie of co1d-taking, sewer gas, or any other lie to hide it. Arsenic cannot be concealed. Arsenic cannot kill. The law of divinity — declaration is demonstration — overcomes and destroys the laws of arsenical poisoning and its effects. There can be no fear of it. Arsenic poison cannot cause mental apathy.

Mind is action. No effects from narcotics or opiates, and no after-effects.

Mother is not here in the flesh. Mother cannot be reached by any claim or law concerning the flesh. Mother is understanding. God is All.

There is no worker working but Love. No mental malpractitioner working. Mrs.––– has no place, no location, no name. Error has no identity. Error has no identification. There is but one consciousness, Life, Truth and Love — Mother’s.

God is Mother’s strength. Love destroys hate. There is no mind to send a thought of arsenic or any other poison here, and no effect if they are sent. There is no hypnotism, and no glamour. This law cannot be reversed.

Mother’s mind is God. The pulpit and the press belong to God, Mother. They will be favorable to Christian Science and its Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. (Note: this treatment brought great growth to the Cause, attacks subsided, and favorable publicity appeared throughout the world.)

The courts belong to God, Mother. God is the only justice. The courts will be favorable to Christian Science and its Leader, Mary Baker Eddy. False assertions that the courts and press are not favorable to Mary Baker Eddy are powerless. This is God’s Word — law. No man or woman can break this law.

The claim of mental malpractice is not a law and will return to the person from which it originated and destroy itself. Mental malpractitioners must be stopped, and their work destroyed.

There is no animal, vegetable or mineral kingdom; there is no poisonous thought or mind. There can be no inflammation from fear, hate, lust or poison, through mental malpractice or mental malpractitioners. There is no mind to transfer or be transferred, telegraphed or transmitted, and no man or woman to operate those claims.

Mother’s life is God. The lie of a dust-man or a rib-woman, of iniquity, temptation, serpent, or myth, or mystery, R. C., is not Life.

There is no mortal mind to declare. Declaration and demonstration are one.

The students who profess loyalty to Mother cannot confuse loyalty with superstition or idolatry.

Mother cannot suffer for another’s sin or from any Christian Scientist’s beliefs.

Hypnotism, mesmerism and theosophy are mindless and powerless because Godless and Christless. God reigns.




Pain

Mother is God’s idea, spiritual, not material. Mother is free, without care, anxiety. Mother is not in danger. No one can deprive Mother of good. Mother knows no pain. Mother is Life, Truth and Love. Mother is hid with Christ in God. Mother is immortal.

Students shall not make laws for or concerning Mother. They must make demonstrations for themselves only. Mother is Christ-Mary. There is only one Christ-Mary.

Error is a question mark.

Error’s unreality is for the world.

Mother is good. Mother’s age is endless — the age of good — no beginning and no end — no youth, no maturity.




Family

Mother is Christ-Mary. Mother cannot be made to believe that she is a person of this world; her family cannot claim her as theirs. Mother has no family. Mother belongs to God. Mother is God, God’s idea, at-one-ment. Mother is not separate from God; God is not separate from Mother.




Attack of Error

Woman demanded of Dr. B. an audience with Mrs. Eddy. Refused. Woman raised arm and pointed finger at Dr. B. There was a noise like a pistol shot. Dr. B. forced woman to leave and warned her never to come to Concord again. When Dr. reported incident Mrs. Eddy was alarmed, and said, “Do thy work well, Alfred. That was the noise of the guns of war on the battlefield — error trying to make its voice heard, that error is here and that God is not here.”

Mrs. Eddy said, “The woman’s thought must be removed, and this attack of error be met by: You (that woman) are error; you are pursuing error to error’s destruction and to your destruction. GOD IS HERE.”

To instantaneously destroy claim of error know that error will pursue its course to its own destruction — error reversed upon itself.




Instantaneous Demonstration

The instantaneous plane achieved in healing and teaching is: Declaration is demonstration. “The words I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.” “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God.”




Notes

Mrs. Eddy knew that A. Stetson was using the audible treatment, “You are dead,” with success; making a law; the law to be made manifest. Mother refused to treat A. S. as error, which Dr. B. did not understand. Mrs. Eddy explained it as, “A. S.’s work is not finished in N. Y.” Mother’s treatment for A. was, “You are a lamb of God. You must lie down in Truth.” Dr. B. thought Mrs. E. should reprimand A. S. Dr. B. knew she was disgraceful. A. S. tried to ensnare Dr. B. with her physical charm with certain movements of her torso.

Mother told Dr., “The Christ-Mary is higher than Christ Jesus because Christ-Mary had to give birth to the Christ idea, and keep it perfect.”

Mother said to Dr., “Thee is the only one I can confide in; I fear my students.” Mother had to constantly meet error in her students, and to meet the error Mother would ask her students if she was not the Leader and if she was not perfect. Mother said, “My students give me all the trouble I have. It is difficult for me to cope with their error.” Mother wrote the Manual because she said, “If the success of the Church depended upon the Board of Directors, they would be taking up penny collections in the streets.” At one time Mother said, “Half the Directors are stuffed shirts, and the other half are trained monkeys.”




Mrs. Eddy’s Dream

Mrs. Eddy dreamt that she was dying and calling for help from her students. When she awoke she said, animal magnetism was trying to enter her thought and cause the thought that she would die. Then she reminded her household of her instruction in one of her classes where she asked what the students would do if they had a case that would not yield in spite of everything. She asked every member. No one knew the answer. Finally, with just a note of exasperation, but with marked emphasis and finality declared, “Handle animal magnetism.”




Treatment

“You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” The knowing is the thing that counts; not human reasoning, or diagnosis, which is an admission of hundreds of causes, but none of them God or in God or Mind. This knowing the Truth is silent or audible, and is silent or audible declaration.

Mother instructed me to make a law that my declaration is the only power, the only presence, the only law, the only action, the only thought in the case. “I know (declare) that Thou hearest me always.”

When I restored the baby who had died, Mother was greatly encouraged and rejoiced. She felt that we could make the supreme demonstration. It was a tremendous impetus to her to have this demonstration made in Concord.

Christ, declaring in the right way, raised Lazarus, declared Life as God, and admitted no death — the Truth — knowing that enables us to know there are no sick.

Without Mother’s instruction, without the Now and Here of the Christ-Mary’s declaration, Truth remains Truth, but is not available for practical use, and we miss the art, because we are not obeying the rule, the law, of making the thought and the letter bear witness of the Christ treatment.

Handle terminology. Devils will try to advance the claim that Mother’s laws are so much terminology. God, Mother, has nothing to do with terminology. Mother says some Scientists go about quoting her books endlessly, and fitting everything she ever wrote down to their finite pattern — the irony of God reduced to a term or terms, or terminology.

When Mother dissipated a thunder storm in my presence one day while I was in her study, I asked her how she did it. Mother replied, “I saw the face of my Father.” This is an illustration of the Christ. Literally, they are living words, the Word of Life, that is, Words proceeding out of the mouth of God, which is God. Nothing to do with terminology.

Truth-Words, Christ-Words, Mother’s Words, can never become word-drugs or formulæ. “God explains Himself in Christian Science.”

Drugs are formulæ.

Mother said God’s complete explanation of Himself at all times, and in all ways, is going on eternally, and nothing else ever was going on, and will go on, nothing will continue, and this continuity is God, or one Mind and man.

Mother said to arouse the students out or their mesmeric sleep. She said some of them would put Truth in a bottle and label it with a formula, or drag Truth down to the level of a false concept and use it as a mental or word-drug.

Upon returning from Boston and reporting to Mother, she said, “Dear Alfred, thee will find the most stones and clubs under the best tree.” I had been talked about.

The Special Work — 4 Weeks

Monday — Error cannot hide from Truth. Mother knows what error is doing. The absent mind can be read by Mind, Mother’s Mind.

Tuesday — Error cannot discover that the error is recognized. Error does not know Truth.

Wednesday — There is no clairvoyance.

Thursday — Error is powerless. I know this. Mother knows error is powerless.

Friday — Those who unwittingly or knowingly harbor error against Mother shall be rendered. This is God’s law. The Word.

Saturday — God governs all. All is Truth. Truth is a mantle.

Monday — Truth is supremacy.

Tuesday — God’s ways are hidden to the world.

Wednesday — God is justice. The sword of Truth will destroy error.

Thursday — Error has no voice. No one to hear it. Error will be silenced. Error will be silent.

Friday — All that is true is God’s. Error has no life.

Saturday — God is All.

Monday — God is Love. Love is All. Love is harmony.

Friday — God is All. Mother is God’s Idea. Mother is Life. Life is harmonious. Error disappears and Love is All.

Saturday — “My grace is sufficient for thee.”

Monday — Mr.–––, The Word of God has spoken to you. Error is nothing. All that is true is God’s and God’s ideas. The Word has spoken to you.

Tuesday — Mr.–––, Your voice belongs to God. Error has no voice. You cannot speak error’s claims.

Wednesday — God silences error. Error, be still. God is all.

Thursday — Mother is Christ-Mary. Mother is God’s idea, over all, and All. Error has gone. God is made manifest.

Friday — Praise God. God reigns supreme.

Saturday — Mother spoke to me today and said for the first time she felt that the error of Mr.–––– had been destroyed.

The foregoing case was of great concern to Mother as she knew that error was speaking through Mr.–––– and was causing her both mental and physical distress. Mother decided that the work should be done over a period of time so to annihilate every claim that was operating. Mother also said that she gave the work to me because she thought my thought was strong enough to withstand the error, and that she did not give the work to one of her household because she feared that the error might unite with that student in the house and become more potent against her.

This morning Mother asked me to support the Church with my thought as long as I lived. I gave Mother my solemn promise.




Results of Treatments

Experiments

The treatment, Love is All, will make the person treated mentally strong and confident, and without fear. Love is All, will destroy lust or sex desires, as sex is lack of mental confidence.

The treatment, God is All, will make the person forget all personal problems.

To treat a person or a person’s actions, as error, results in driving them to expose themselves to you, or others; thus exposing the error.

A malpractitioner who treats a person to create the belief of a particular disease and if the person has a fear of the particular disease, creates the thought of death. A treatment for a disease which the person is not afraid of, does not affect them.

To treat a person to be afraid of something creates in him a thought to be cautious. Mental work upon yourself by a mental malpractitioner is readily recognized if a feeling of abnormal tiredness comes upon you. It is a belief of thought-transference through vibrations causing mental pressure. A perfected plan by a malpractitioner to trick you mentally results in a tired feeling.

A mental assassin’s treatment of no, which is the thought of a person thinking no to every thought of you, results in a complete nullifying of what you are trying to do. The no treatment is a blanket and results in blankness and thoughtlessness.

Mother said, “The power of Mind fully understood is the ability to discern whether the thoughts you entertain are your own, or someone else’s.”

There was a pernicious belief operating from a group of mental assassins that if poison, preferably arsenic, was linked up with time, an onslaught of malicious animal magnetism resulting from this combination considered deadly by them, would result in a person dying, whom they specifically worked on. Thus a deliberate argument would be formulated that Jones would die of arsenic poison at six o’clock in the evening. All human conditions would be considered including the time when Jones is supposed to be thinking of his stomach.

Mother uncovered that the assassins hit upon the thought of time as mortality, and thus mortality’s hour seemed to be set for the poison to do its work.
