I don't know a lot about Christian Science, but going what I've read, Christian Science and ACIM have a lot in common.

Helen Schuchman (the lady who received the words of ACIM) and William Thetford (an associate of Helen who had an involvement with the course and worked with the CIA on mind control experiments) both had parents that had some involvement with Christian Science.

If you're interested, check out the book called "30 Years Amongst the Dead" by Carl Wickland (A free PDF file is available on the internet).  For more than 30 years Carl and his wife helped de-possess people by having the possessing spirit move from the possessed person to his wife. The spirit would then speak through Mrs. Wickland's body and Carl would speak to this spirit until it moved on towards the light.

Sometimes other spirits would speak through Mrs. Wickland. According to 30 Years Amongst the Dead, Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, was one of these people. There is a chapter in 30 Years Amongst the Dead called "Christian Science." In the first paragraph it says, "The domination of any one fixed opinion to the exclusion of further mental growth holds the spirit in a state of non-progression, as has been attested by intelligences who on earth had held strongly to the Christian Science teaching regarding the non-existence of matter, and who have told of the difficulties encountered in freeing themselves."

As a spirit, Mary Eddy spoke through Mrs. Wickland and said: "How do I wish I had taught obsession, which I knew was true but I did not. When I used to go into trances I wrote a great deal, and when I came to myself I would deny what I got.

I was obsessed by some spirit who  wanted me to do such work and I could not really help myself."
