IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS SICK WHY
TREAT THE BODY ALONE?*

“I come that they might have Life and that they might
have it more abundantly.” John 10: 10.

There are no conditions in the Divine creation of man. Conditions are

brought about by the human mind that has nothing to do with the Creation
of man. When we create conditions we begin to struggle with them, this is
where we fail to see our own creation, thereby intensifying the error.

You do not struggle when you are free, you only struggle when you
are imprisoned. The way to freedom is to discern the cause.
You struggle with thoughts that enter the mind when you wish to be

quiet. These thoughts you think are foreign to your nature so you try to banish
them, but instead of getting rid of them they worry you further because you
struggle with them.

It is necessary to become aware of the movements of the mind without
struggle, then they will dissolve away. If you are aggressive, quarrelsome
nagging all day long, if you are jealous, envious, selfish and egotistical etc.
etc., you will see that these are the false movements in which you are

caught-up, thus you imprison yourself.
If there are difficulties, it is no use trying to escape from them but to
face them with confidence for this is an opportunity to assert the Christ Life,

yet every sensation must be dealt with carefully and not ignorantly denied,
otherwise it will rise again in the nature.
Patience and understanding is the basis upon which we must act so
that the Christ can speak the word of power from within. When this is done

with understanding there will be an unfolding of the Real Self.
The body is for the purpose of your experiencing Life in the flesh but
the flesh has no say in the matter. When the true awakening comes through

understanding that which is false, the Real Self frees Itself from conditions
that surround It in the flesh.
We make our limitations by clinging to the form. Spirit is Life and

Life is formless and is the only Creative Power being complete whole. It is
the Christ that possesses the body of flesh, when this is understood there is
a renewal of the Christ Life in the body.
