All healing is spiritual and all healing begins with understanding the power of the mind. There is miraculous power in certain esoteric metaphysical teachings - power that leads to real healing.

I do not advocate avoiding doctors or refusing any specific medical treatments.  Yet, more and more doctors are recognizing the spiritual aspects of healing. This brief article will help you understand the role of the mind in the healing process. Miracles do happen.

Metaphysical Masterpiece

A spiritual document called A Course in Miracles was written by Dr. Helen Schucman and Dr. William Thetford in the 1970’s. Dr. Schucman dictated the book based on an inner voice, which she described as coming from a divine source, specifically Jesus Christ.

Unlike other explanations of healing and faith, the Course does not portray God as a judge of your faith in Him. Rather, the teaching describes the miraculous power that results from “joining” the mind with the Holy Spirit, who is really your own higher self. This joining releases the mind from every demand or judgment. The Disappearance of the Universe uses the term “forgiveness” to describe this release.

The following is a startling explanation of healing and faith quoted from A Course in Miracles. It is unlike any other spiritual teaching about mind, body and healing:

“The body cannot heal, because it cannot make itself sick. It needs no healing. Its health or sickness depends entirely on how the mind perceives it, and the purpose that the mind would use it for. It is obvious that a segment of the mind can see itself as separated from the Universal Purpose.” (p.398)

Healing consists of forgiving the segment of the mind that sees itself as separate and joining with the one Mind or “Universal Purpose.”

The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard inspired many of the ideas I write about. The teachings were given to author Gary Renard by two ascended masters. The book and the teachings both support and simplify A Course in Miracles. The Disappearance of the Universe devotes a chapter to spiritual healing. The chapter helps clarify the metaphysical ideas presented in the Course.
