Excerpt from Spiritual Healing
The question of Spiritual Healing is one which has reappeared in an acute form during the past twenty years, and been the subject of much discussion and of great perplexity. Though little agreement has been reached about the modus operandi of Spiritual Healing in general, or of the nature of Faith, and though apparently even men of eminence have not thought out what they mean by "suggestion," yet no doubt now remains that we are face to face with a mode of curing disease other than that which orthodox medicine had hitherto recognized as valid. The difficulty of appraising this intruder on the sacred domain held in trust by the British Medical Council lies in the greater difficulty which we find lying across the path of all Science, viz. that of expressing Life in terms of Thought and of applying it to our daily needs as our willing servant. Life as the indeterminate factor of experience is reluctant to be locked up in forms and limited by tradition. And the slowness of the acceptance by medicine of hypnotism is a case in point.
The statement of Spiritual Healing, its history and nature, as given here, is meant to be popular, not technical; general, though (it is hoped) not superficial.
