If sickness is real, it belongs to immortality; if true,
it is a part of Truth. Would you attempt with drugs,
or without, to destroy a quality or condition of Truth?
But if sickness and sin are illusions, the awakening from
this mortal dream, or illusion, will bring us into health,
holiness, and immortality. This awakening is the forever
coming of Christ, the advanced appearing of Truth,
which casts out error and heals the sick. This is the salvation
which comes through God, the divine Principle,
Love, as demonstrated by Jesus.
(God never inconsistent)
It would be contrary to our highest ideas of God to
suppose Him capable of first arranging law and causation
so as to bring about certain evil results, and
then punishing the helpless victims of His volition
for doing what they could not avoid doing. Good
is not, cannot be, the author of experimental sins. God,
good, can no more produce sickness than goodness can
cause evil and health occasion disease.
(Mental narcotics)
Does wisdom make blunders which must afterwards
be rectified by man? Does a law of God produce sickness,
and can man put that law under his feet
by healing sickness? According to Holy Writ,
the sick are never really healed by drugs, hygiene, or any
material method. These merely evade the question.
They are soothing syrups to put children to sleep, satisfy
mortal belief, and quiet fear.
(The true healing)
We think that we are healed when a disease disappears,
though it is liable to reappear; but we are never
thoroughly healed until the liability to be
ill is removed. So-called mortal mind or the
mind of mortals being the remote, predisposing, and
the exciting cause of all suffering, the cause of disease
