-=== ON HEALING ===
-THE only inhibition to physical healing are mind’s beliefs. Every organ contains the possibility of re-creation and of readjustment through spiritual Power, directed by spiritual Intelligence.
-Build never a mental barrier; place never a mental obstacle. God and His Goodness and Perfection is in all parts of the body. That dispels all argument.
-This is strong teaching; it is the teaching of the future. Take it and USE it Now. Re-creation is not only possible, but it awaits our intelligent use.
-Re-creation is as possible as creation. Advanced teaching, advanced knowledge is for enlightened souls. The mind is the prison of the body—if it is an unbelieving mind.
-In seriousness believe, believe and be saved from self. The soul-controlled and directed activities of the mind provide release from all inharmonies that absorb power but deliver no value in return.
-The great business of life is to know God and His Will for you. Acquaint now yourself with Him.
-—J.
