Chapter 2 - Scientific Metaphysical Healing - A Quest for The Truth."And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Christ Jesus Science is the term that describes mankind's search for truth. But what is truth? The physical sciences explore matter and the universe in search for fundamental truths. The biological sciences explore living organism to discover the truth about the chemistry that operates in them, and the DNA that constructs them. The aeronautical sciences explore the dynamics of gases and the truths that underlie the physics of flight. The psychological sciences explore the operation of the human mind, to discover the truths about individuals' behavior. Jesus of Nazareth explored and demonstrated the Science of the Christ, the science to discover absolute Truth. What is the Science of absolute Truth? Christ Jesus explained to Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor before whom he stood accused after a marvellous career: "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." It was Pilate who raised the momentous question: "What is truth?" Little did Pontius Pilate realize that it would take another twenty centuries before mankind could begin to find answers to that question on a scientific platform. Certainly, Christ Jesus did bear witness to some momentous aspects of the truth. He healed the human body as no medical professional has been able to equal. He also healed the human mind as no psychiatrist has been able to come even close to. He spoke of the truth that few could hear. He wrapped his scientific understanding in metaphor, and illustrated the basics of his Christ Science through parables and healing that gave the world a glimpse of the nature of Truth. Few could understand his Science. Still, he was able to empower people to heal in the name of that truth that he understood and demonstrated. The age was not ready, however, for a full scientific understanding of it. He could only present it by way of example. There is a parallel to this found in mankind's quest for flight. For centuries mankind has observed the flight of birds which demonstrated the existence of certain truths to which the birds had become adapted. It took a considerable effort in searching before the laws that the birds utilized were discovered on a scientific basis, and could be applied to master flight and advance it beyond the level of application that the birds had been able to achieve. The same can be said about 'the truth' that Christ Jesus had understood and employed. There existed a time when it, too, had been understood on a scientific basis and was put into practice on a broader front than in the days of Jesus. Fundamentally, there exists only one reality. Therefore, there exists but one truth. All pursuits of science unite in this one aspect, no matter what their nature and diversity may be. The quest of the ages, is to discover aspects of what is truth. We behold phenomena, we are touched by experiences, we feel deep feelings, we achieve great accomplishments, but we wonder what they represent, and what caused them to come about. With these situations, the search begins. The search for truth has brought to light many useful inventions that have opened the door to capabilities without which modern life would be unthinkable. The search for truth has also opened the door to the spiritual realm and to metaphysical capabilities that open up a promise of freedoms yet barely imagined. In the spiritual realm we have come recognize the underlying and all-embracing force of existence under the term God, we recognize a God that is Truth. The great question, the answer to which has eluded mankind in regard to spiritual matters, is centered on Jesus' promise of a 'Comforter' who should come and remain forever, who would "lead us into all truth." Except, which corporeal person would be able to remain forever? Here Science intervenes and answers the puzzle. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
