The Science of Psychic Healing2032
groups, nerve centres, ganglia, etc., respond to a strong thought impression
from outside, particularly when the thought is heavily charged with Prana.
The parts are thus reached directly, rather than through the Instinctive mind,
as is the case in Mental Healing, proper. When properly applied this form
of Healing produces a wonderfully quick and direct effect, and therefore
it is one of the simplest and best forms of general psychic treatment. The
student is advised to acquaint himself thoroughly with it.
The central theory of Thought-force healing is that the disease is a mental
trouble—not a trouble in the central mind, but in the “mind” in the parts.
The theory of the cure is that the Thought-force overcomes the rebellious
“mind” in the cells and parts, and forces it to resume normal action.
In Thought-force healing, get all ideas of “matter” out of your mind. You
are not using Mind against Matter, but Mind against Mind. The Will-Mind
against the cell-mind. Do not forget this, for it underlies the whole system
of treatment. The healer goes after the rebellious “mind” in the parts—
remember that. By producing, or rather re-establishing normal mental
conditions in the parts, the diseased condition vanishes.
The Healer directs his Thought-force to the “mind” in the part, and
addresses it positively, either by uttering the actual words or by speaking
them mentally. He thinks, or speaks, something like this: “Now, mind, you are
behaving badly—you are acting like a spoiled child—you know better, and
I expect you to do better. You must, and will do better, and act right. You
must bring about normal and healthy conditions. You have charge of these
organs, and I expect you to do the work that the Infinite Mind gave you to do
properly.” This and similar thoughts will give you the idea of the treatment.
Point out to the “mind” of the part, just what you expect it to do. And you
will be surprised (at first) at how readily the cell-mind obeys. The rebellious
mind of the parts acts like a child who is “pouty,” “cross,” or “out-of-sorts.” It
must be coaxed, scolded, led, or loved into right action, as the case seems to
require—the idea of Love, of course, being behind it all, just as in the case
of the child. The cell-mind is essentially an undeveloped, child-like mind,
