To heal— blend thought with God

ALAN A. AYLWIN

Sometimes healing eludes us because we are so intent on changing the physical condition that we overlook the real need —the self-evangelization by which we blend with the love of God through the quality of our thought, and thus experience the spiritual harmony that produces health. We need to see that our well-being is really the product of our spirituality, of a calm, clear realization that God and man are coexistent and eternally perfect.

The more we live in spiritual reality, consciously apart from matter—that is, the more we feel and know ourselves to exist in God, in infinite divine Mind—the better for us. We outgrow our troubles by actively rising into a higher spiritual consciousness.

Jesus taught that we must get our priorities straight if we would demonstrate God's goodness. He said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt. 6:33; And he practiced what he preached, because it is recorded that on occasions he retired to a solitary place, where he could refresh and revivify his awareness of God's allness and man's unity with Him. As a preparation for his healing work he kept alight the spiritual glory of his inner vision, his perception of the kingdom of God within.
