The important decision

To reduce inflammation, dissolve a tumor, or cure or- ganic disease, I have found divine Truth more potent than

all lower remedies. And why not, since Mind, God, is the source and condition of all existence? Before decid- ing that the body, matter, is disordered, one should ask, "Who art thou that repliest to Spirit? Can matter speak for itself, or does it hold the issues of life?" Matter, which can neither suffer nor enjoy, has no partnership with pain and pleas- ure, but mortal belief has such a partnership.
