I am not dependent upon any personality for my needs. Malicious animal magnetism cannot hide my work from me, nor make me feel failure or lack. I am born free, not in bondage to anyone or anything, for divine Principle leads me. There is no power in anger, ill-temper, scorn, or contempt. There is no power in prejudice, or superstition. There is no power in selfishness, envy, jealousy, pride, hate, malice, or revenge. I am a law against all that is false. I deny that the appearance that we call matter has any life, substance, or intelligence, because God is the only Life. Mary Baker Eddy (Carpenter, Gilbert, Essays On Christian Science, p.52)
