Health

· 2 min read

When man is harmonious and happy he is healthy! All sickness comes from sin or violation of Spiritual Law.

Jesus Christ said: “Be thou healed, your sins are forgiven.”

Resentment, ill-will, hate, fear, etc., etc., tear down the cells of the body and poison the blood.

When man sees himself as God sees him, he will become a radiant being, timeless, birthless and deathless, for “God made man in His likeness and in His image.”

(See The Game of Life and How to Play It, page 25.)

Accidents, old age and death itself, come from holding wrong mental pictures.

When man sees himself as God sees him, he will become a radiant being, timeless, birthless and deathless, for “God made man in His likeness and in His image.”

In brief

Health is the natural state of a harmonious and happy mind, and all sickness comes from sin, which is the violation of Spiritual Law. Read the summaryHide the summary

Health is the natural state of a harmonious and happy mind, and all sickness comes from sin, which is the violation of Spiritual Law. Shinn sets the healing words of Jesus Christ, "Be thou healed, your sins are forgiven," beside the plain fact that resentment, ill-will, hate and fear tear down the cells of the body and poison the blood. Accidents, old age and death itself grow from holding wrong mental pictures. When man sees himself as God sees him, made in His likeness and image, he becomes a radiant being, timeless, birthless and deathless. Shinn then gives a sequence of affirmations for daily use that deny fatigue, cancel time and space, declare oneness with The One, and give thanks for the Light of the Christ streaming through every cell.

Key ideas

  • Shinn teaches that harmony and happiness are health, and that sickness follows the violation of Spiritual Law.
  • Resentment, ill-will, hate and fear act on the body itself, tearing down its cells and poisoning the blood.
  • Accidents, old age and death come from wrong mental pictures, so the picture must be changed first.
  • Seeing yourself as God sees you, in His likeness and image, makes you a radiant being, timeless, birthless and deathless.
  • The chapter's affirmations deny fatigue, live in the wonderful now, and give thanks for radiant health as already present.
