For Doctors, Nurses, Alternative Healers in The Infinite Way

THE ILLUSION OF HEALTH

The time has come for us to address the Error of health, our belief in health. Health is a divine state of being. The more divine we become through meditation and illumined consciousness, the more our true nature is revealed and outpictured in our human body.

If you are in the healing profession and would like help in using Infinite Way principles in your medical practice, we would be happy to help you.

The lessons for those in medicine and the healing arts are challenging. If you are having trouble working on the principles alone, please let us help.

Joel's Comments About Doctors and Using Medicine

November 27, 1963

Dear Friend:

Do you have a doctor? If so, follow his instructions.  Your husband is right if he gets the best medical help-and neither you nor he need to make any apologies or excuses to anyone else.  I have learned in my long years of study that it is wiser to let the best human help be God's instrument, when we are already hypnotized with something.

We can kid ourselves and say, "It is nothingness."  That is the tragedy of the metaphysical world.  We are all trying to evolve higher, but it is a matter of grace and states of consciousness, and no one can walk on the water before his time.  Therefore, I learned from inner resources that it would be wiser to take the best method right at the moment, get our peace of mind, and keep on pursuing.

You don't know how many times I have had to assure students that it would make no difference to God whether we go to a doctor or dentist.  We do not hesitate to see a dentist, but somehow most of us seem to fight body attention.  In this way, they are resisting evil to the extent that they deeply sublimate their fear of something physical within themselves and try to get spiritual help.  But in hanging on to the fear, the healing never comes.  I think that each one of us has to rely on inner intuition and make a move from that level.

There was a time when I had a physical problem, and inner intuition told me that I had better see a physician, because it was not yielding to spiritual treatment from one who does great healing work.  I had accepted a condition as being real to myself, so I took the steps of seeing a doctor and he stopped it for me in one day's time.  Now with the imminent fear taken care of, the prayers penetrated and brought about the healing.

I have seen too many people kidding themselves by hiding their fears under metaphysical treatment, and in this day of changing times, words and thoughts are not becoming effective.  The only power is Spirit, and it is better to get our peace and keep on pursuing the Light!

Aloha,

Joel

"More and more we are getting mail from doctors of the materia medica field asking questions about The Infinite Way and studying The Infinite Way.

"Why?  Not because The Infinite Way is competition for materia medica, it isn't and can't ever be.  It doesn't operate on the level of materia medica.  But because it brings to the medical thought the one thing that has always been needed in medicine and that is the healing influence of the presence of God. 

"What difference whether a doctor carries it into a sick room or a minister carries into a sick room, as long as the spirit of God is being carried. 

"Eventually it can do away with all of our medicines.  I don't even think the doctors would object to that."

Joel 357/2

In our endeavor to understand the fullness of God, each one of us has come up through some particular form of study.  Some have come through New Thought, some through Unity, and many of us have come through Christian Science.  Whatever religious organization it was, it acted as a steppingstone for us to go up higher in the understanding  of the teaching of the Master, and so we can have no judgment for any of these, but only love and honor for all of them.  The same is true of materia medica.  We must have only love and respect for it, too.  Doctors and nurses are devoting their lives to helping humanity as they see it, and on the path of the physical they are making progress, as we on the spiritual are making progress, and so we have only love and respect for them.
