Psych. 2- IV. 1 – 3. Jesus: “As all therapy is psychotherapy, so all illness is mental illness. It is a judgment on the Son of God, and judgment is a mental activity.
In its essence, judgment is a decision, made again and again, against Creation and its Creator! It is a decision to perceive the universe as the ego would have created it. It is a decision that ‘truth can lie’ and must be but lies. What, then, can illness be except an expression of the sorrow and guilt that must come from this decision? Who would weep, but for the loss of his innocence?
Once God’s Son is seen as guilty, illness becomes inevitable! It has been asked for and so it will be received. And all who have thus asked for illness have condemned themselves to seeking endlessly for remedies that cannot really help. This is because their faith has been misplaced, given to the root of illness and not to their salvation.
There can be nothing that a change of mind cannot effect, for each external thing or happening is but a shadow of a decision made and held within the mind. Once the decision is changed by simply ‘choosing once again,’ how can its shadow be unchanged?
Illness then, can be but the shadow of your guilt, grotesque and ugly since it mimics an imagined deformity of God’s Son. If the ‘deformity’ is seen as real, what could its worldly shadow be except deformed? Once the decision that guilt is real has been made, the descent into hell follows step by step in an inevitable downward spiral. Sickness and death and misery now stalk the earth in unrelenting waves, sometimes together and sometimes in grim succession.
Yet all these things, however real they seem, are but illusions in the mind! Who could have faith in them once this is realized? And who could not have faith in them until he realizes this? Healing is therapy or correction for these illusions, and we have said already and will say again, ‘all therapy is psychotherapy.’ To heal the sick is but to bring this realization to them.”
