Study of Manual for Teachers 2/5/12

Day 36

2 The acceptance of sickness as a decision of the mind, for a purpose for which it would use the body, is the basis of healing. And this is so for healing in all forms. A patient decides that this is so, and he recovers. If he decides against recovery, he will not be healed. Who is the physician? Only the mind of the patient himself. The outcome is what he decides that it is. Special agents seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give form to his own choice. He chooses them in order to bring tangible form to his desires. And it is this they do, and nothing else. They are not actually needed at all. The patient could merely rise up without their aid and say, “I have no use for this.” There is no form of sickness that would not be cured at once.

Even when it seems that the medicine or the doctor is the healing agent in a sickness, it is really the decision of the patient for recovery that brings healing. When I decided I was ready to be free of allergies, the way to do this was made immediately available to me. I had tried going to an allergy specialist and had taken shots over a period of time, but it had not worked. I was not ready for healing.

Then one day I decided that I had been stuck in a lot of ego stuff for long enough and made a decision to choose differently. There were a number of things that changed for me, and it happened very quickly. It was clear that it was a change of mind that was the catalyst for all this change.

The allergy healing was among them. Shortly after the decision was made, a friend who had allergies worse than mine called me to say she found someone to help her. He was not a medical doctor, but was an alternative healer. I got his name and made an appointment. I don’t remember what the treatment was called, but it was very simple and didn’t involve medicine of any kind. I had so many allergies that he thought it would take several treatments to clear me, but I only had to return once, and have been free of allergies ever since.

Jesus tells me that my helper was not needed at all, that I could have just realized that I had no use for the allergies and they would have been gone, but that was not something I could have done at the time. So I chose special agents, the doctor and his process, to bring tangible form to my desires.

These several sudden changes that occurred at this time were so clearly the result of a decision for change that it impacted me in a permanent way. I never again completely believed in the world as the cause. It has taken several years for this learning to transfer completely, and it is still a work in progress, but, even incomplete, it has changed everything for me.
