Chapter XVIII: Metaphysical Healing.2075
in the fact that the different schools of metaphysical healing, so-called, work
cures, in about the same proportion in spite of their various theories and
creeds. Of course they all have a common ground of agreement in their
belief in the One Life and Spirit, but they vehemently oppose each others
claims, and call each other “victims of error,” and other pleasant names—
but still all go on making cures, and doing good healing work, nevertheless.
Christian Science, and Anti-Christian Science schools and cults, seem to do
equally good healing work. All this would seem to indicate that some one
healing force is used by all, and that no sect has any monopoly of it.
The Power of the One Life is Always There—always ready and willing
to be used by those who demand and use it, irrespective of the particular
beliefs and theories or creeds of those using it. Like the sunshine and the
rain it falls upon all alike, who expose themselves to its power, or who attract
it to them. It is All for All. The petty theories and differences of the cults
are most amusing when one considers the Infinite One. What children in
spiritual knowledge even the best of us are—each claiming that he has the
only truth, and the whole truth, and that all the others are in “error.” The
truth seems to be that all have the Truth, or portions of it fitting into their
understandings. And that none have all the Truth.
The Love and Power of the Infinite is equally the right of the individual
seeker after the Truth, as of the cult or sect that claims to be the mouthpiece
of the All. Creeds are born, rise, fall and die—cults and sects and schools
pursue the same Path. All is birth, growth and death—relatively, of course—
all obey the Law, which may be called Evolution. Ages, people, races, lands,
schools, cults, creeds, sects, leaders, may come and go—must come and go—
but the Law ever remains, unchangeable, unerring, unvarying, deathless,
endless. Over all the Law reigns—all do its bidding. None are its sole agents
and mouthpieces—and yet All are its agents and mouthpieces. It uses all—
and yet is used by All. When this mystery is understood, then there is peace.
It is useless to attempt to teach Metaphysical Healing to those who do not
at least partially understand the higher teaching. To those who wish to know
