Laws manifesting the truth.
The scientific approach to reality is simple. If a metaphysical healing of some physical ill has occurred once, this indicates to the scientist that some fundamental law exists that has allowed this type of healing to happen. If the underlying law becomes subsequently discovered and becomes fully understood, it can be developed into basis for applied healing on a commercial scale. This, indeed, has been the case at the beginning of the twentieth century. Thus, the whole process of scientific spiritual healing, through understanding the nature of Truth, has a definite basis in reality, and has a history of rigorous scientific investigation.
Unfortunately, today's mind-set that is burdened with spiritual and scientific devolution, is such, that all non-material processes are thought of as impossible. Even the moral domain is largely rejected as irrelevant. This rejection points to a type of ignorance that puts the spiritual domain far out of sight. Rather than being cast aside, the moral domain should be explored as to its roots and function as an infrastructure for spiritual development. If this were done, the wisdom of countless ages would be exploited more completely, rather than being cast aside.
In the scientific sense, morality represents a structure of wisdom that has been gleamed over the ages from keenly sensitive observation from which certain rules were formulated as guidelines designed to avert personal or social tragedies. These rules represent a type of primitive mental technology which may appear outdated in today's world, though they still represents the recognition of underlying principles that have proven their worth and should not be allowed to become lost, but should be employed to open the horizon for evermore advanced discoveries.
The exploration, in this book, of the technology of metaphysical healing brings to light a much deeper basis and a much more thorough research into the fundamental principles that support human existence and human health than is commonly associated with spiritual issues. It also requires a lot, such as a thorough research into the mental foundation on which moral structures rest, which acts as a stepping stone on the path into higher realms of Science. Divine Science is built on an exploration that necessarily draws together all the achievements of mankind in this line of endeavor, as this would be the case in all other areas of scientific investigation.
In order to advance the human thought beyond the rudiments of a tall mental technology, one needs to rediscover all that has been discovered by mankind to date, and start with this platform. That is, one needs to re-live, as it were, the moments of discovery of principles that had shaped the life of the great pioneers in metaphysical healing. This is a fundamental platform for all meaningful progress.
What this means, is that in respect to scientific Christian healing, all the numerous examples of such healing that have popped up through the ages are important to us, today, even in modern times when spiritual issues appear so irrelevant. What the pioneers have achieved throughout the ages for the advance of humanity must be considered as testaments of an underlying Truth. From this foundation the further advanced discovery of reality can proceed, of divine laws manifesting divine Principle. By such a process of discovery, leading to a fuller understanding of reality, mankind becomes able to demonstrate the principles of reality through the same application that the pioneers have pursued, and with greater efficacy. As we learn to apply again what the pioneers have understood, and become fit thereby to advance beyond the ancient standpoints, we become able to take the process of discovery and demonstration another step further towards the infinite. Nor exists there an apparent end in this chain of constantly ongoing development.
