"Spiritual
healing is the touch of the Spirit of God in man's Soul." |

Joel Goldsmith, The Art of Spiritual Healing, Part
3
Spiritual healing is sought by different people for different
reasons. Some seek it because of physical illness, or because of mental,
moral, or financial problems; others because of an internal unrest that
gives them no peace regardless of how much outer satisfaction and
success they may have found. But sooner or later the realization dawns
that until one establishes conscious contact with the Source of his
existence, there will be unhappiness, dissatisfaction, incompleteness,
regardless of how much health or wealth is his lot.
Spiritual healing is much more than a purely physical experience or
even a mental experience: Healing is finding an inner communion with
something greater, far greater, than anything in the world; it is
finding ourselves in God, finding ourselves in a spiritual peace, an
inner peace, an inner glow, all of which comes to us with the
realization of God with us, the presence and power of God felt. Resting
in that peace, the body resumes its normal functions, and those
functions are carried on by a power not our own. The body, then, begins
to show forth perfect, complete health, youth, vitality, and strength,
all the gift from the Lord.
Spiritual healing is the touch of the Spirit of God in man's Soul;
and when that touches him, it awakens him to a new dimension of life, a
spiritual dimension: "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty" -- not that the Spirit of the Lord acts as a medicine, not
that the Spirit of the Lord acts as an electrical application or as
surgery, but because the Spirit of the Lord lifts the seeker into a new
consciousness of life, the state of consciousness which the Master
described as "My kingdom" which is not of "this
world." When man attains that state of consciousness, he lives in a
dimension of life other than the three-dimensional one, and he has
experiences totally unknown on the human level of life. That is the goal
which the world is seeking, even though it does not realize quite what
that goal is or how to attain it.
