Healing

The condition of fallen humanity has been likened to an infirmity and a disease of the soul. Our hearts are heavy with pain and suffering. Hence, salvation may be regarded as healing the soul of its infirmity and restoring it to health where it can realize its true potential. Religious teaching may be regarded as a sovereign remedy, and the founder who bears the truth likened to a master physician.

Yet there is also a causal, psychosomatic relationship between the health of the soul and health of the body. Physical health is thus a welcome by-product of spiritual health. Moreover, the power of God can cause miracles to happen: old women bear children, the blind see and the dead are brought back to life. Jesus performed miraculous healings and exorcisms; as did Buddha and the saints of all religions from ancient times to the present day.

Father Moon speaks realistically about the spiritual causes of disease and the way people may align themselves to mobilize God’s healing power. He also warns against the careless use of healing power, for miracles come with a price.
