Mental Science

The rise into popularity of the teachings of the New Thought or Mental Science has familiarized many persons with the idea of thought-transference in some of its varied forms, until to-day we find that the majority of persons are prepared to admit that “there must be some fire where there is so much smoke.” Telepathy - Sidney A. Weltmer 1910

Lord of a thousand worlds am I,

And I reign since time began;

And night and day, in cyclic sway,

Shall pass while their deeds I scan.

Yet time shall cease ere I find release,

For I AM the soul of Man

Charles H. Orr

 “The fact is, most people pray to a god of their own making, a man-made god, a thing that does not exist, except in their own imagination, and then wonder why their prayers are not answered.” THE PASTOR'S SON by WILLIAM W. WALTER serves as an introduction to Christian Science, Science and Health and it explains the role of a Christian Science Practitioner.

It will be apparent at once to the reader that Walter Williams is merely a transposition of my own name.₁

 [SEQUEL TO THE PASTOR'S SON]:

My motive in writing this book is twofold. I wish if possible to make clear to some of my fellowmen the error and nonsense of the drugging system of healing, hoping thereby to free from the bondage of medication those who are the habitual slaves of the belief that a senseless drug can produce health and prolong life. Having spent seven years and much money in testing the various systems of medication and hygiene, thereby undergoing continually increasing agonies, I was at last driven to despair, and thus impelled to try Christian Science, with the result that in a few weeks, and for a few dollars, I was completely and permanently healed. Incidentally, I will also take occasion to express some ideas of truth which have come to me, and which I hope may be useful to others. I do this in view of the fact that, " Ceasing to give, we cease to have, such is the law of Love." 

₁William W. Walter (1869 - 1941 ) from 1903 until 1906 was ill with various claims among which was tuberculosis. As a last resort he had a Christian Science treatment and  he was soon well on the road to recovery, and all during that time he helped others to recover from their various ills, in which he was very successful. The healer told him that poverty was also a disease and taught him to overcome it.

He documented his time in the Christian Science Church in his book “Five Years in Christian Science,” where he relates many wonderful examples of his ability to heal.

He wrote many books in “story” format, including “The Pastor’s Son.” The sale of this book was a grand success and soon he wrote a sequel, “The Doctor’s Daughter.” After that he wrote many others as time permitted, for he was still in the healing field.

His success as a healer and author soon became widespread so that it became impossible for him to take one half of the cases presented to him for healing, so he developed the idea of teaching others his method, and thus his teaching grew and grew.

Mr. Walter was known throughout the world through his teaching, healing and writing. He had many students from Canada, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and most every state in the United States. Wishing to give to the world the benefit of his finding he wrote a book entitled “The Sickle,” which acted as a bridge between mind and matter and brought the readers’ thought up gradually. After a few years of study of this book, he wrote “The Sharp Sickle,” which became the text-book of Eschatology.

Eschatology is a Christian religious movement founded by American writer and practitioner William W. Walter after Walter left Mary Baker Eddy's Christian Science church in 1912. He named his organization "The Walter Method of Christian Science"; the term Eschatology as a trade mark for Walter's teaching was not used until the 1920s. Walter and the Eschatologists' view of God are much closer to New Thought and the New Age movement than to Christian Scientists. From the 1970s through the 21st century the movement has flourished in other countries, particularly in Mexico.
