Lillian DeWaters, was another student of Mary Baker Eddy who was eventually forced out of Christian Science. Thus her first books were published by Christian Science but later she formed her own publishing house in order to break out of the limits imposed upon her by Eddy.

DeWaters' teachings remain in alignment with Eddy's views especially in regards to mental healing versus spiritual healing which she feels to be two different things.

In The Christ Within she writes:

"Right here let the reader be fully familiar with the difference between mental healing and spiritual or divine healing. Mental healing uses the power in the individual mentality with which to heal, saying that the individual mentality is God. Mental healing is a process of thought, wherein the healer sends from his own mind thoughts of health, strength, power, peace to the mind of another who has called upon him for help, or, in the case of self-healing, wherein the individual would help himself.

These thoughts of the healer have birth or origin in his individual mentality, and, as the river can rise no higher than its source, so one's idea of what is right and true "treatment" can rise no higher than his own viewpoint.
