p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }There are two types
of healing, whether it is physical healing or otherwise. One is
removal of cause, which is good. The other is removal of symptom,
which merely postpones the reckoning.
I pray for the
removal of cause instead of the removal of symptom. If only the
symptom is removed it will re-manifest or another symptom will
manifest. This is only postponing the problem.
When you start using
Healing Prayer, remember to pray for the removal of cause. A simple
prayer is, “May this life come into harmony with God’s will.”
It is very important
to concentrate only on the removal of cause, even though such
healings are not as spectacular as the removal of symptoms.
It has been written,
“Your faith has been made you whole.” Enough faith can remove
mountains or symptoms. But my prayer for you is that cause will be
removed so that your healing is permanent.
Spiritual science
believes in spiritual healing, which is removal of cause, rather
than psychic healing, which is removal of symptoms and only a
temporary thing. With God’s help you can solve the problem and any
other problem that life sets before you.
If you are able to
put your life completely into God’s hands, with a genuine
acceptance of God’s will, whatever it may be – physical healing
may come, and spiritual healing will certainly come.
Healing always does
not mean staying on this side of life. Sometimes God has other plans
for his children – and both sides of life are really one.
I never work with
sympathy on the removal of the headache or the removal of the pain
in the joint or whatever a symptom might be. I use only the prayer
that this life will come into harmony with God’s will.
I never hesitate to
put a person into a healing circumstance – that is, into an
uplifting, inspiring circumstance. That can hurt no one.
I do not hesitate to
work on the removal of certain things that I know are cause of
difficulties. For instance, I don’t hesitate to work on the
removal of the worry habit or the anger habit or the fear habit.
I would suggest to
people who are in need of healing: Beautiful uplifting music if they
relate to beautiful music; the reading of beautiful words it they
relate to beautiful words; and I would suggest the beauty of
flowers, the beauty of God’s nature.
