HEALINGS THROUGH MENTAL SURGERY

WILLIAM D. ANSLEY

When I was about 24 years old, I was reading from one of the Christian Science periodicals and came across the term "mental surgery." I started to pray, trying to understand exactly what the term meant and how it was accomplished. Finally it came to me that mental surgery was the exact, razor-sharp delineation between the real and unreal, between the spiritual and mortal man, between Spirit and matter. I went to bed still thinking about the importance of always being alert to the dividing line between the allness of Spirit and the nothingness of matter.

The next morning when I awoke, I noticed that a splinter that had been lodged in my wrist since childhood and had periodically become inflamed, had come out naturally. When I reached to touch the splinter that was lying on my pillow, it literally turned to dust. There had been an opening in my wrist joint which healed quickly, and there has never been any more inflammation in that area.

More recently, on my way into our Sunday morning church service, I caught my foot on the curb and literally sailed through the air several feet before landing on my face, on one hand and arm.
