Knowledge is the greatest need of our benighted and purblind world. Knowledge of how to live; knowledge of the nature and purpose of disease; knowledge of the evils and futility of treatment; knowledge of the truth about life—this is the need of the whole world today.

“My children are killed for lack of knowledge” says the God of the Hebrew Scriptures.Millions die yearly because they lack true conceptions of life, of health, of disease, of cure. More people are killed every year by the causes of and the treatments for “disease” than by any other causes, only because their ignorance leads them to ignore causes and to rely upon “cures.”

Education must supplant treatment; faith in the processes and forces of life must take the place of faith in “cures”; confidence in the normal things of life must displace confidence in abnormal things; trust in the laws of life must crowd out trust in vicarious atonement’s. Only thus can the ages-long frenzied search for “cures” be ended. Only thus can the terrible waste of time, money, energy and mental effort in the search of “cures” cease and all this time, money, energy and effort be redirected into profitable channels.

The frenzied search for “cures” must cease. Mankind must learn that the so-called disease which they seek to cure is, itself, the process of cure. All efforts to cure the cure are vicious and destructive. Unfortunately, the “healing” professions and the public still have the troglodyte’s conception of disease. 

They still conceive of it as an attack upon the body by outside and unseen forces. The truth reaches them slowly.Healing—restoration of health, wholeness, integrity—is a normal, physiological or biological process. It results from the orderly operations of the ordinary and regular forces and processes of life, working with agents and substances that bear a normal relation to the living organism. 

Success of the body’s efforts at self-healing depends absolutely upon removal of the cause of its ills. This is to say, the body cures itself when cause is removed. There is no cure outside of correction of cause.”

Notes from Ron:

Personally I agree with the philosophy expressed here and in discussion with Nicholas Moss. It is also my experience that the same applies to our mental and emotional health as with our physical health. 

Just as we can become aware of how acid foods support dis-ease and relate to poor health, whereas alkaline foods promote health and well-being, the same applies to our thoughts.

If we harbor acid thoughts predominantly throughout our day, our mental and emotional well-being will decline, whereas if we harbor thoughts of love, peace and joy (alkaline thoughts) our lives will attract and be attracted to abundance and mental/emotional health.

For help in finding ways to turn your thoughts to alkaline thoughts the study of A Course in Miracles is an absolute gem!
