THE SANCTUARY OF THE SILENT HEALING POWER
If your thoughts are not in harmony with the Infinite there is a condition
created known as disease and unhappiness. The physician may diagnose the
case by giving it a name, thus increasing the trouble instead of eliminating it. If
wisdom and love were substituted it would strengthen and nourish the soul,
then the body would soon recover as the inflow of the Divine energies is
re-established.
Jesus cured the sick and if people understood him they might do the
same again today. What we need is the understanding of the Master and not
theories or names of diseases. The Master was the oracle, Christ the Spirit of
God is the Bread of Life and when eaten, the Soul and body is renewed. When
this truth is revealed to man the scales fall from his eyes and he sees how he has
been deceived, generation after generation, by beliefs and theories of others.
Man made in the image and likeness of God lives in a material or visible
world in which he has been given dominion over all things. A world so constituted
that if he understands the Law and uses it intelligently he will be lifted up to
Spiritual heights yet unknown. He will expand his consciousness and practical
knowledge of his oneness with the Creator of all things by the conscious use of
the Creative Law within himself, and will represent to him a far greater power
than mere intrinsic value of material possessions which are the expression
and use of the Law of Creation.
The material world to him will not be mere “material” which is little
known or understood but will represent the intelligent use of the Law of Creation
situated within himself. He will see that the invisible and the visible are one and
the same thing, one is the cause and the other the effect and cannot be separated, one
is the expression of the other.
“God Himself has made it plain for ever since the world was created,
His invisible nature, His everlasting power and Divine Being has been quite
perceptible in what He has made.” We must be one-pointed in regard to the
Presence. We will see that this is the only Reality, all other things are relative
therefore have no power of their own, and are subject unto the Will of God
in man.
Freedom comes when we discern the cause within ourselves, not merely
denying it. This ignorant denying has been the cause of many abandoning the
very thing that would be of help to the individual sufferer. The only way is
to discover the cause within ourselves and deal with it fearlessly and without
struggle, then there is a clearing of the way for the Presence to operate in
and through us. “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.”
