continually to the Divine Ideal of health, harmony and perfection.
But this is useless if there still remains a clashing of the personal
will with the Divine Will, or if there is any hate, malice, envy,
or fear in the heart. The will must be surrendered to the greater
Will (this, in reality, is our highest good, for the fulfilment of
the Divine Will is the happy destiny of man): the heart must forgive
and be filled with love; fear must be cast out, and replaced by
confidence and complete trust, before we can enter into that happy,
care-free, restful state which is necessary for healing. Health is
harmony--a delicate balance and adjustment between spirit, soul, mind
and body. This harmony is dependent entirely upon the greater harmony
between ourselves and God. So long as there is a conflict of will,
so long as there is hate or resentment, so long as there is
selfishness or while there is fear, this harmony cannot exist.
Therefore, the bed-rock cause of health is spiritual harmony, all
healing being a restoration of harmony between man and his Divine
Source. When this harmony is restored, man is no longer a kingdom
divided against itself, for he becomes established in _unity_: he
works with the Universe and the Divine Laws of his being, instead
of against them. The Divine Life and Power flow through him unimpeded,
promoting perfect sub-conscious functioning. His thoughts become
cleansed at their source ("Create in me a clean heart, O God, and
renew a right spirit within me," "Cleanse Thou me from _secret_
faults"). He becomes free from the hypnotic spell of the race mind:
his eyes, through the influence of the Divine Spirit, become opened
to the Truth; therefore he is no longer blinded by the Prince of this
world. In the Divine Union he becomes free. (In Christ all are made
alive).

The subject of grief and its effect upon health has purposely been
left to the last. No amount of right thinking will prevent
bereavements in this life. These form part of the necessary discipline
of life, and it depends entirely upon how we meet our trials whether
