About The Ark of Truth- Mother’s Hood
Hello, and welcome to Mother’s Hood where I speak what I consider to be the Truth about Christian Science. I utilize symbolism in my writings to help explain Christian Science, the Bible, modern media (books, television shows, movies), and other things (one example is Tarot cards). I have studied Christian Science my whole life and found that words just were not enough for me to understand the Bible and the Christian Science Textbook. My understanding began to open up when I began to read “unauthorized”(by The First Church of Christ Scientist in Boston) books by John W. Doorly, Max Kappeler, W. Gordon Brown, and others. They used a matrix system to explain the scientific system of Christian Science. This is something that the Boston Center does not teach. I am also one of those Christian Scientists that accept Mary Baker Eddy’s place in Bible prophecy, and this is also what I write about. Later I began to look into symbolism and spent much time in this area. I feel like things really began to help me understand Christian Science even more, however, I also began to feel as if other Christian Scientists did not understand what I was even trying to achieve. I began to feel that I was on my own course, but I wanted to share everything with the world. I thought about publishing, but this did not work out. It has even taken me a long time to decide if I wanted to go on the Internet with my writings. But I feel compelled to do so, as June 6, 2012 is upon us next week, and it is most important that Mother Hood (that is me) speaks to you so that you too can transverse the sun with the Morning Star that Jesus promised to each of us!
What I write is unorthodox from the Church organization. I do not belong to any church organization, I am an independent worker. I do not expect anyone to agree with me one hundred percent, however, I wish for you to read what I have before you decide whether you believe it or not.

Mr. Smith,
I have become a recent convert to Christian Science in Louisiana. I had a peculiar series of events that led up to me seeking Christian Science.
A personal vision and then an immediate healing after initial contact with a practitioner, which I consulted following an “incurable” medical diagnosis.
I have proof that MBE is the dual Christ and would like to email you at the above address. Also I would like to find out how to obtain a copy of “Mrs. Eddy’s Place”. I am grateful that TMC has not hindered you from speaking out and letting your personality shine through the Christ. We are seekers and seekers seek liberization in all thought, and are fiercely opposed to mind control. Likewise if you ever want to talk- feel free to call 504-491-1257.

Hi Martha, I was wondering where you got all the alternative CS info and books that you’ve gotten? I’ve been into CS all my life also and never heard of the alternative stuff until just a few years ago while searching some CS stuff on the internet. I am amazed at all the info that has been repressed, hidden, buried, burned, taken out of Reading Rooms, etc..
I have some of the books that are published by the CS Publishing Society and a few alternative books in PDF from alternative sites. I would really love to get some of those other books that you mention, where did you get yours?
I really want to read some of that other info and discuss it with other Christian Scientists but don’t know of anyone that I can do that with, so I thought it would be great to talk to you, but I see that you don’t email personally, bummer. 😦 Oh well, maybe this way will be okay.
I recently read some of the healings of Mrs. Eddy’s that I never knew about before, it is so interesting.
I find your site and info, helpful and interesting.
Thanks!
Sue
Sue,
Thank you for your questions. One great source for books is the Bookmark in California run by Ann Beals. She is listed on the Internet. You may also be able to find some books at the Mary Baker Eddy Scientific Institute. They are also on line and have a lot of Helen Wright’s books. There is also Doris Grekel at The Independent Christian Scientist; Box 128, Ahwahnee, CA 93601. These are where I received many of my books. But one good book that you can get from your local Reading Room (you may have to pre-order it though) is Bliss Knapp’s book Destiny of The Mother Church.
Sincerely, Martha
I highly recommend starting with “Mary Baker Eddy: Her Spiritual Footsteps” by Gilbert C. Carpenter’s Senior and Junior. christianscience.org has a nice, inexpensive print copy of this invaluable book. You can also find it as a free pdf for ereaders.
It is vitally important to handle animal magnetism in regard to The Mother Church, et al, there is only One Mind, God. Only this will break the mesmerism deceiving many Christian Scientists. Do not fear it, neutralize it!
Blessings, Elisabeth
Dear Elizabeth,
Thanks for writing and for the advice. Carpenter’s book is a good one!
Good -Day and Bless You with Christ’s Truth,
Just found your blog and I am enthralled with its contents
As someone who, up till now, has had a casual interest in Christian Science, this blog is a revelation. The official website of the church seems to be promoting itself as a sort of “Starbucks” religion- have some “Science and Health, the Bible and have a nice day! Other practitioner’s websites were just as foggy; too airy-faerie.
It was only through independent sources like this that I was truly able to learn the astounding (at least to me) metaphysics of Mrs. Eddy’s revelations. Your opinions are certainly opening up my eyes.
i also want to thank you for your patriotism.
Thank you for your kind words. It is for this reason that I began this site. Sincerely, Martha
I thought this link would interest you.
https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2017/10/03/science-as-a-personal-journey/
It provides insight into the ongoing controversy over scientific discovery between Main stream academia’s theories vs independent individual challenges to those theories.
I have loads of Christian Science stuff on my site as audiobooks and literature at http://www.seosaidh.com
Martha, I hope this link opens and or blends with your pursuits of the higher Calculus Mrs. Eddy writes about. The study of Science is about discovering patterns and there relationships. I have forwarded information to you from this organization before, but I think this one touches on some of the specific patterns I have tried to communicate in the past with you.
Peace
Hi Mrs. Smith,
I’m new to Christian Science and had discovered the works of John Doorly et al only recently and am very much intrigued.
As with most people, I got into Christian Science for healing.
So I’d like to know if there is any concrete evidence that healing would improve by pursuing this more intellectual way of approaching Christian science. (I know, it says the ultimate goal is not healing, but healing IS the first step, and I’ve hardly reach this step yet).
And how do I apply this vast knowledge to healing (eg. shortsightedness ….which the last chapter in Science and Health shows many people being healed by reading the book, and yet many current Christian Scientists including practitioners and Readers wear glasses….)
Many thanks,
Anthony
Dear Anthony,
We do need to understand the tone quality of the seven synonymous terms for God because this is how we understand God. Doorly’s work helps us do this, and when you understand the tones of the seven and how they operate as the infinite divine calculus on the levels of Science, I know it helps us in our treatment work. This type of study also helps you find these tones in the BIBLE, and in SCIENCE AND HEALTH. However, I also have found that I turn to our Textbook and read straight from it when I have need of healing. One night when I was in severe pain I read from SCIENCE AND HEALTH, it helped me become calm and then I was able to cast out the lie of pain in matter; it helped me to cast out the belief that there is any sensation in matter. The pain left because it did not really exist in the first place. Casting out fear is also a big part of the healing process, and Truth reverses error (fear, lies, pain). What is it you accept as reality – sensation in matter or no sensation in matter?
Sincerely, Martha
Dear Martha,
I am amazed to find your dynamic site… so filled with information! Thank you for sharing your studies with us. I, too, am a Doorly/ Kappeler student. I am sharing the link for the Kappeler institute: https://www.kappelerinstitute.org/
Many students have begun having informal exchanges with the study partners program that the Kappeler Institute sponsors. Sue Bissonnette, a former teacher with the Kappeler Institute, has started providing Youtube videos about the Science of Christian Science :https://www.youtube.com/@foundationforthescienceofbeing/videos
I feel so blessed to be aware of the Science of Christian Science as it has shown that all that is before us is Love’s design and ongoing progress. This is the healing of fear as you shared. Your work is Love!
Gratefully,
Jenny
