Spiritual immunity

Freedom from disease is a present possibility. And there are steps we can take today to discover that freedom for ourselves.

Katherine Jane Hildreth

To have immunity is to be free, to be exempt from disease or other evils. It is to have protection and not be susceptible to discord.

Considering the broad scope of this definition, one might well question whether it's realistic even to hope for immunity from disease and other disasters in a world where any night's news is likely to include not only graphic accounts of personal illness but also reports of calamity on an epidemic scale. Can one be truly protected, free, exempt, in such a world?

If we look at existence solely from a material standpoint, hope for immunity is indeed unrealistic. In fact it's hard to avoid the persistent apprehension that one is somehow threatened on every side.
