HEAL THYSELF
An explanation of the
Real Cause and Cure of Disease
By Edward Back M.B.,
B.S., D.P.H.
…..”If we have in our nature
sufficient love of all things, then we can do no harm; because that love would stay
our hand at any action….. our mind at any thought which might hurt another. But
we have not yet reached that state of perfection; if we had, there would be no
need for our existence here… pag. 14.
… suffering is in itself beneficent,
in that it points out to us when we are taking wrong paths and hastens our
evolution to its glorious perfection.
The real primary diseases of man are
such defects as pride, cruelty, hate, self-love, ignorance, instability and
greed; and each of these, if considered, will be found to be adverse to Unity. Such
defects as there are the real diseases …. And it is a continuation and
persistence in such defects after we have reached that stage of development
when we know them to be wrong, which precipitates in the body the injurious
results which we know as illness.
PRIDE is due firstly, to lack of recognition of the smallness of
the personality and its utter dependence on the Soul, and that all the success
it may have Divinity within; secondly, the loss of the sense of proportion, of
the minuteness of one amidst the scheme of Creation. As Pride invariably
refuses to bend with humility and resignation to the Will of the Great Creator,
it commits actions contrary to that Will.
CRUELTY is a denial of the unity of all and a failure to understand
that any action adverse to another is in opposition to the whole, and hence an
action against Unity….pag.15
HATE is the opposite of Love, the reverse of the Law of Creation.
It is contrary to the whole Divine scheme and is a denial of the Creator; it
leads only to such actions and thoughts which are adverse to Unity and the
opposite of those which would be dictated by Love.
IGNORANCE is the failure to learn, the refusal to see many wrong acts
such as can only exist in darkness and are not possible when the light of Truth
and Knowledge is around us.
INESTABILITY, INDECISION AND WEAKNESS OF PURPOSE result when the personality refuses to be ruled by the
Higher Self, and lead us to betray others through our weakness. Such a
condition would not be possible had we within us the knowledge of the
Unconquerable Invincible Divinity which is in reality ourselves.
GREED leads to the desire for power. It is a denial of the freedom and
individuality of every soul…. The personality with greed desires to dictate,
mould and command, usurping the power of the Creator. Pag. 16….CONTINUE
