Lillian DeWaters, student of Mary Baker Eddy spoke often of Ontology. Her first books were through the Christian Science organization, then she went out on her own, forming her own publishing house, and went beyond the limits of the "religious dogma" which sometimes inhabits organizations and inhibits the Teaching.

The main difference between her teaching and that of Christian Science and much of New Thought, is that she regards Jesus and Christ as inseparable - One and the same God, and in this sense her teaching is much more inline with that of orthodox Christianity.
