Faith
Healing - Spiritual Healing
We must
remember that faith healing comes from another dimension
in which the physical limitations of our way of life do
not exist.
Must I believe in faith healing &
spiritual healing to get benefit from it?
Must I have faith before I can get well?
These are the questions I am often asked. The answer is,
that you need not, and this is simply proved in a number
of ways:
If faith was
essential, then we should see only those people who have "faith" get well. I have found that small children
and even babies respond more readily than grown-ups. One
reason for this is that the very young have no inhibitions
or fears, and it may also be that their young and growing
bodies are easily receptive to the healing influences – but
they are too young to possess any "faith".
How often we are asked to direct spiritual healing to a
patient who is not a believer in it, and indeed may be opposed
to receiving this help from us on religious grounds! Yet
he responds to the healing without knowing anything about
it. A similar situation arises with those patients who are
too ill, and in too much pain to have faith, or maybe they
must not even be told the nature of their disease. Again
there are those who are healed who believe strongly in quite
different religions to our own, Hindus, Mohammedans, and
so on. Lastly, there are those fewer people who say they
are agnostics and have no faith at all in anything spiritual,
yet they respond just the same.
I recall the
case of a young man who, accompanied by a lady, was brought
to me for faith healing. He was in great pain and eaten-up
with arthritis. As the healing proceeded, so his pains left
him, and his joints began to loosen and become free. When
I had finished treating him, it was a real delight to see
how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his legs, feet,
arms and hands again... and then he told me: "When I came
here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only
to please my Aunt, who brought me."
While spiritual
healing is superior to what the patient may think, it is
obviously good and helpful if he or she has the faith that
they can be healed. Indeed, some doctors say that whereas
patients go to them for "treatment," they
go to the spiritual healer to "get well" – and there
is a lot of truth in this.
Generally speaking,
When the national press refer to us, we are called "Faith Healers," and while, naturally, we have
a great faith in the ability of spiritual forces to heal
the sick, We are not "faith healers" relying on a patient’s
faith to get well. Spiritual healing comes from Spirit – it
is an exact science, a planned effort, requiring intelligent
administration of healing forces to bring about a happy change
by removing the cause of the trouble. Religion plays no part
in spiritual healing. We have never asked any one of the
many scores of thousands of people we have been privileged
to help about their religious beliefs. The recognition of
our healing work is based upon success – the wide world
over. People of all colours, races and creeds respond to
healing equally – thus we come to the conclusion that
the personal opinion of the patient has no bearing on the
result. We hold that the source of spiritual healing comes
from God, Who is the Father of all mankind, whatever race
or religion it belongs to. We believe it is administered,
intelligently, by God’s ministers in Spirit within
the laws of creation. By this, I mean that spiritual healing
is not superior to the laws of life. If one has a limb cut
off, we do not expect that we can grow another one. Healing
cannot keep us indefinitely in the earthly life, though it
is able to sustain life, often when there is no medical hope
for it to continue.
While we give contact healing in The Sanctuary, the great
majority of those who seek our aid are helped by the means
of Absent (or distant) Healing, when we never see the patient
at all, especially with those who live abroad. I know this
is hard to believe on the surface but it is fact. It seems
to those who do not know, that it is fantastic to expect
a disease to be overcome simply by writing to us in the first
place for Absent Healing.
I will try to
explain just how this takes place. First of all, we must
remember that healing comes from another dimension in which
the physical limitations of our way of life do not exist.
For example, distance is no obstacle. Contact with another
person the other side of the world can be more quickly
made through a thought process than it takes a person to
walk over a bridge. It brings the distant person closer to
us than our next-door neighbour. Sometimes patients write
and tell me just where their house is, and in what room they
sleep, and on what floor it is. This is quite unnecessary.
In the past, when seeking absent healing for a sick one,
I have found myself in the room where the patient is. It
may only be for a few fleeting moments, but the picture of
the patient and her surroundings is indelibly printed on
my mind. Whenever I have written seeking confirmation of
what I have seen, it has been verified every time. When these
experiences occur I have no sense of travelling – I
am just there. I mention these experiences to show that if
a "part of me," probably my spirit self, can go so easily
to a person in a distant place in no time at all, then how
much more easily can the spirit doctors, who are God’s
ministers, single out someone who writes to us for healing
help.
To understand
the way of Absent Healing it needs to be recognised that
spiritual healers, like ourselves, have developed a condition
of attunement with the spirit people. This means that we
can communicate with them – as they are able
to communicate with us. The means of this communication is
by thought, thus, when we receive a letter from a person
seeking spiritual healing and (in a state of attunement)
we read the letter, so is the healing need made known to
the spirit people who are "listening-in." That is why we
like just the essential detail in the letter to give a "picture" of
the affliction, and reports afterwards to show what is taking
place. So is the spirit doctor made aware of the healing
request. He is able to contact the sufferer, as I have already
indicated – there are other considerations in connection
with this "linking-up" that are a little more involved,
and which I need not dwell upon here. When the spirit doctor
has contacted the patient and possessing the information
that is given to him, he makes his own diagnosis of the cause
of the trouble. We know that our spirit-selves are on the
same plane of life as the spirit doctors are, and therefore
they are able to make a true diagnosis, probably far more
correctly than our medical men can do. Then comes the spirit
task of firstly removing the cause of the trouble, and secondly
the taking away of the ill-effects or symptoms, giving strengthening
and vitalising power as well as soothing and calming the
nervous tensions. It may well be that when the physical ill-effects
are deep-rooted as with chronic arthritis, it will need a
little time to induce the progressively good changes.
Briefly, that
is how Absent Healing works. It may seem beyond our understanding,
but the proof of it is in the good results that we see
especially with those who are beyond further medical treatment.
The numbers of sufferers who have been helped back to good
health by this means are now uncountable – they
are legion. Of course, there are many factors that can either
help or retard a healing – an easy, contemplative,
contented outlook, carrying out ordinary laws of health is
a great help, whereas on the other hand, if the cause of
the trouble is persisted in, then this will hamper the recovery.
For example, if we are asked to help failing eyesight, and
the cause of this is in the daily employment that demands
very close eye-work with strain, then we cannot expect the
vision to be restored if the per- son continues to stress
and strain the eyes every day.
As many of our human ills are the direct product of mind
upset, worries, anxieties and frustrations which can be soothed
and calmed by spirit influencing and guidance, so we see
the causes of disease overcome, and the restoration of bodily
health is a simple follow on.
