THE POWER of THOUGHT ~ Ernest Holmes
Spiritual Mind Healing
"It has taken humanity thousands of years to learn that it has the power to control its own destiny. From the Bible we have the assurance: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The old Greek philosophers understood something of the meaning of thought. What we expect, said Aristotle, that we find. What we wish, said Demosthenes, that we believe. And Shakespeare is accredited with saying: "there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so." It is one thing to know a principle, another to apply it.
The modern commercial world accepts the slogan: "He can who thinks he can." Throughout the ages many persons have realized that causation is from within. True, the thousands of unhappy beings would indicate that a comparatively small number have used this knowledge for their benefit; yet the day for incredulous skepticism or shallow criticism of the power of thought has passed. Unless we discredit all human testimony, we are forced to the conclusion that bodily healing of all manner of sickness by mental and spiritual means, is a fact. Physicians of highest repute are assiduously betaking themselves to a serious study of mental phenomena and mental processes. They are realizing the incredible possibilities of dominion resident in the dynamic forces of the mental realm. A belief in and an acceptance of mental healing has arrived in the most orthodox of medical circles, and is being increasingly approved as a legitimate and useful healing agent."
