Christian Healing
These are not simply lectures; they are, rather, lessons. They are not merely
to be read; they are to be studied and applied as one studies and applies
mathematical rules.
When the text suggests that the reader "hold a thought," or affirm or deny a
certain proposition, the student should stop reading, and both audibly and
mentally do as bidden. This will set up new thought currents in mind and body,
and will make way for the spiritual illumination that will follow in all who are
faithful to these instructions.
The statements following each lesson should be used for mental discipline.
Write these statements down and apply them daily while studying the lesson to
which they correspond. Anyone can do spiritual healing who will use the simple
rules of denial and affirmation here set forth. If you wish to heal another,
hold him in mind and mentally repeat the denials and affirmations; this will
raise your consciousness to spiritual reality, where all healing power
originates. If you wish to heal yourself, talk to your mind and body as you
would talk to a patient.
