Health and the Inner Life: An Analytical and Historical Study of Spiritual Healing Theories, With an Account of the Life and Teachings of P. P. Quimby (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Health and the Inner Life: An Analytical and Historical Study of Spiritual Healing Theories, With an Account of the Life and Teachings of P. P. Quimby
A simple illustration will show the difference be tween the man who is at home in his mental world and the one who is without inner resources. Let it be a typical case of the approach of sudden illness, or simply the presence of a slightly painful sensa tion with which the mind unwittingly associates the name of a dreaded disease, with all its terrors. The man who has no staying power, no knowledge of his inner self, is swept forward by the consciousness of sensation, a description of which he communi cates to a physician, who in turn is compelled to judge the case from the outside. By skilful ques tioning, many doctors are indeed able to work their way, as it were, well into the interior of a patient's life. Yet all this is relatively external. Even in cases of so-called mental disease the physician very naturally judges the mental states by their physio logical conditions. Important as this judgment may be, there is still another story to be told.
