REPORT of Healing Meeting, Wednesday, March 24,1915________________________ Mr. Fillmore: Speaking of health, it is remarkable what a lame share of the Christian religion, as taught by jesus Cnrist, is given to the discussion and danc-nstration of health. You remember that he constantly healed. I think that cf the different so-called miracles, fifty-two in number, some thirty-nine were of healing, as given in the hew "estament. When the disciples of John sent to Jesus to know whether he was the Messiah, or not, he said, "Co and tell John these signs that ye their sight, and the healing of the sick see. The sick are healed, the blind receive deaf hear." He gave the healing as a sign; the was one of the signs of his Meseiahship; and in the -1- very last command he yave to his disciples, and all those that "believe, he said, "These signs shall follow them that believe. They shall heal the sick, preach the Gospel, cast out demons, raise the dead." That was especially emphasized, — These signs shall follow them that believe. ITow the fact i s, not coming into "better health one of the tests that you have if you are not being healed, if you are you are not believing, vrcause that is got hold of the real truth,—that you understand Chris tianity,--that you are being made whole. Is it not n astonishing thing that the orthodox church does not catch on to this proposition of health being a primal evidence of the truth of the religion of Jesus Christ? I never belonged to an orthodox c'lurch; hut I do not understand it. Every time I think of the many evidences in the Scripture of health as a result of the understanding of the truth, I think,--Why don't they teach it in the churches more? I cannot understand it at all. I do not see why they have cut that out, because it is so essential. The very foundation of the whole religion is that man shall have a harmonious mind; that your mind can be in perfect harmony, and that that will show out on your body. And that is true. Even fhakespeare said, "it is the mind that makes the body rich nearly every osophers and mony of mind Go back and back in history, and you will find that one of those who have thought deeply, the so-called phil-seers, always preached the relationship between the har-and the health of the body. That is a universal religion it is not only the Christian religion, hut ever; religion that was ever promulgated, takes as its foundation the right relation between the truth and the forces of the truth. The vine, and the branches and tne fruit, we are told that Jesus Christ gave that illustration. He said, "here is the Vine, the great parent source, and.you are the branches." What is the fruit? Why, the visible man. The branch is joined to the I AM, and the I AM mokes the manifest. That manifest is the fruit, and if that fruit is wormy, and has blemishes on it,—in other words, if that is the condition of the body , —you may know at once that there is something wr-.ng somewhere. And where is that wrong? You will all admit, and all of our philosophers, and our sociologists,— even the doctors are discovering that the whole thing really originates in some wrong mental pronositiers T . , x - _ si pion. x do not care if you do admit or take into your philosophy find that that poison, in T/e are told the so-called contagious diseases, you will its originating source, was some state of mind, that what is called grippe originated away hack over in Pussia, in a rebellious, revolutionary state of swept ever the country, and all the rebellious, revoluti in the world took grippe, and the more of that you have m01 e are yov. subject to grippe. Some people say that t mind, and onary people in you, the hey have it every their ject It is year, but just as soon as they begin to hearts, that grippy, fighty state gets my longer. That shows that it is not a state of consciousness, in other word get the love of God in out, and they are not sub-grippe, but it is the mind, s. The whole man is made up of states of consciousness, and these states of consciousness get r: into inharmonious relation, and then the poor- body has to suffer. If we would all understand, first, last and always, that our bodies are naturally healthy. jf your body was given to you now, direct from the Creator's hands, why, it would be perfectly healthy. That is the way we were all created in Divine Mind. We have a healthy body-idea. That never can be interfered with, that perfect health body-idea, because it exists in Divine Mind, and it is part of your subconsciousmess, If you could reach down to the subconscious issues of life in your organism, you would find there a perfect, pure stream of spiritual life running through you. That is the blood that is spiritually flowing. You would find there perfect assimilation, perfect digestion, perfect nerve action,--everything would be absolutely perfect in this type-body. Everyone has that type-body; that is the spiritual body and it -6- is absolutely perfect. Its perfection cannot be broken up. A good metaphysician catches on to that proposition, and he talks to that subconscious body. He does not spend his time working with the physical body He knows that is simply a picture of the mind, the physical mind, or the mind that is looking at outer things. But the mind that looks in spirit and in truth works upon this perfect body-idea, and he can ^ring forth perfection in any organ, or in any function of your organism by dwelling upon its innate perfection. In spirit and in truth, you have a healthy body, and the ill health that seems to be in the body, and the corruption, is the result of what is called the error mind. Jesus Christ referred to the body as the Lamb of nod. - 7- Lamb of cod. He was the He came as that perfect unseen body, and he, like the scapegoat, —he allowed all the sins in the world to be piled up on his head, and then he fled away with there into the wilderness. In other words, he took all the sins of all - family the human, enough of each to make a pure serum. Jesus Christ was A the first and greatest serum manufacturer. He made o serum, such that if one little drop of it enters into your mind,--but one idea,--you will find that it will course through your veins, and you will be perfectly healthy. A man told me the other day that down here at one of these hospitals, they were healing people through an operation which consisted in drawing out so much of the blood, taking it from somewhere in the back, I think it was. They punched a hole in a man, and -3- pumped cut some "blood, a,"bout a pint, I guess. The operation is a serious one, and a man can stand it only once in thirty days. They take this "blood cut, and put it through a purifying process, and then they squirt it "back again. (Laughter.) That is the truth. I am giving it to you in plain, everyday language. The doctors .voaid hove a let of Latin words that you could net understand, hut I am interpreting it for you. And in two years, don't you know, they have all of your "blood cooked over, and it would be perfectly pure. Every corpuscle. That, is, it would have been pure when they put it back in. But how about the changes that the man is making in this blood all the time? We are told that even at the end of thirty days, the circulatory system has gone through -9- a change. How, they certain vjuan t i ty of b t h i nk i ng, — well, it i all kinds of th> OUght ay have purified all the corpuscles in a od, but here is this mind up here, and it is thinking whiney thoughts, and sighing thoughts,— Uybet are they doing with them? Those, thoughts are putting it hack in the same condition it was. I do not think they ever healed anybody that way. 1 think it is an experiment. X C 811 Q Q i j C 'ii viewpoint of a metaphysician that man inhibits or pollutes hi.-, circulation through his thought. If you are on a low plane of thought, if you are whiney, cr if you are saying hard things about your neighbor, or about yourself or your friends, you are adding that condition,— you are putting it into your blood. ,'nd you will get that result, if you are negative, and whine and cry, and take on aboui It will every little thing, Timt will lower the circulation, lower the whole tenor of your mind, and you will get watery, and you will have a weak hack, and the whole man will he let down. You can see that it does not make any difference how much you purify, or how much medicine you take. You might take pills, or tonic 5r sarsaparilla, or any kind of spring medicine, and get yourself purified, so that your "blood would he just as pure as the purest water; hu t if you go on thinking th ese old error would pollute its gain. Yc that the cnly r smedy i s to place in the great Universal Mind, where t" he law o -C* + V _ 1 % i 10 is in vo gue, it is doing its ’perfec t wo rk ' . 1JA ■ .i ■ -L e ) C 0 S • Do not go down into negative thought # Do not allow yourself for a -11- single moment to come .tiler the adverse law. And then the devil cannot get hold, of you. That devil is simply negation. It is that that says,--There is not any tod. I cannot see Hod, ’ro t out your God, if you have got any. You have got to know that there is that innate Something in you which is health. If you should ash rne what health is, I should say,--then my digestion is all right, and my assimilation is ell right, and I feel right, and I am happy, — that is health. That is a description of health. I do net think of a condition of universal harmony between myself and God. But let me get sick, and then I begin to reason. I begin to aslc, why is tb is condition? But if I am wise, n 1 1 1 ask within, because as Jesus said, It is the Bather within that doeth the work. If I look to external thina-s, I am sure to go wroncr. The remedy for every inharrnony is a. state of that inn a in man, which will make him feel that he has found the the string. He must know himself . He is not go ing through any * app lication, but just through the ag of the mind to the Un iversal Mind, and then the usir.v harmony which fl ews to you through that Universal Mind with ever-thing that is discordant, everything that wo in any way with the perfect harmonious action of every every thought, and then every function will ve perfect function of the body is directly related to the state mind. Is not it wonderful that the doctors in here very recently, are proving this whole thing to us -Li- te Something right end of to get well plication o f tha t pe rf e c t .
