From a Self Realization Booklet, lecture given January 4, 1940 Los Angeles
Since Joel was a friend of Yogananda and they shared an awareness of the developments around the world in the area of spiritual healing, I thought this would be appropriate. It is a reading from a small booklet available from The Self Realization Center.
I think the lessons are well stated, especially the comments about the world being a dream. As for the advice to not be rigidly against any form of materia medica, I would have to agree. I think this is the proper outlook for beginners on the path. One may have a miraculous healing from a practitioner, but if medical care is needed or required, we do what is necessary and logical to help ourselves and family.
Spiritual healing requires a commitment and often a practitioner with a deep conviction of the power of God and non-power of matter. This is eventually what every sincere student seeks. However, we must respect the level of spiritual development of our friends and family.
