<P> Many critics of Eddy maintained that she basically stole all of her ideas from her longtime teacher, Phineas P. Quimby . It was he who had worked to develop the healing system that she adopted to be used as the base - doctrine in Christian Science . If she did not take all of his ideas, she, at the very least, based her system of healing on his basic treatises about mental healing . </P> <P> Eddy found that while at first hypnotism seemed to benefit the patient, it later created more problems than the original sickness . Ultimately she rejected any form of hypnotism or mesmerism, stating: "The hypnotizer employs one error to destroy another . If he heals sickness through a belief, and a belief originally caused the sickness, it is a case of the greater error overcoming the lesser . This greater error thereafter occupies the ground, leaving the case worse than before it was grasped by the stronger error ." </P> <P> In the 24th edition of Science and Health, up to the 33rd edition, Eddy admitted the harmony between Vedanta philosophy and Christian Science . She also quoted certain passages from an English translation of the Bhagavad Gita, but they were later removed . According to Gill, in the 1891 revision Eddy removed from her book all the references to Eastern religions which her editor, Reverend James Henry Wiggin, had introduced . On this issue Swami Abhedananda wrote: </P> <P> Mrs. Eddy quoted certain passages from the English edition of the Bhagavad - Gita, but unfortunately, for some reason, those passages of the Gita were omitted in the 34th edition of the book, Science and Health...if we closely study Mrs. Eddy's book, we find that Mrs. Eddy has incorporated in her book most of the salient features of Vedanta philosophy, but she denied the debt flatly . </P>
