Chapter XVIII: Metaphysical Healing.
The term which is used as a title for this chapter is a much abused one,
and is employed by different people to describe nearly all the forms of
healing mentioned in this book.
Of course, everyone using any form of psychic healing has a certain right
to call his healing “Metaphysical,” for the word metaphysical means “beyond
the physical,” but the generally accepted sense of the term “Metaphysics”
means “The Science of Being.” And according to the strict interpretation
of the term metaphysical healing should be applied only to that form of
healing arising only from the actual realization on the part of the patient
of the reality behind appearances—of real being—of the real self of the
universe. To one who is able to unfold into an actual realization of thatwhich-is,
there is at his disposal a wonderful healing power, both for himself
and others, if he knows how to apply the same. But this knowledge is not
always evidenced by those who unfold into the higher consciousness, and,
in fact, there is a decided tendency on the part of some of these people to
neglect the physical altogether as unworthy of thought, the attention being
turned entirely upon the higher planes of being. This position is wrong,
for the physical plays a needed part in the unfoldment of the Ego, and to
neglect it is to run contrary to the law of life.
