THE IMPERSONAL SELF
Keys To Effective Spiritual Treatment

There are a couple of reasons for this. One, individuals experiencing the problem are often in such a state of belief and fear that telling us about it frees them of the fear. This is important because the more relaxed and open they become, the more effective and rapid their healing will be. We have to help them open their being to the presence of spirit because in a state of belief and fear they are closed tight. Even a great light cannot enter that which is closed tight. But as soon as individuals relax and open, the light of truth can enter and illumine, and the healing is then usually quick and complete.
    And for us, when another comes to us for help, it is sometimes helpful to know what the problem is; but we have to be very careful not to get caught up believing that the problem of its own self is real, or to believe it is happening to or in an individual.
