Threefold Healing
[<- Go back to The Subconsciousness]
[Myrtle Fillmore's Healing Letters]
[Charles Fillmore's Works] [Unity on the Web Home Page]
Two of your statements prompt us to a little explanation,
before giving the outline for treatments: (1) "I am
wondering if you will send me, also my brother, some health
vibrations." (2) "We are asking you to relieve us through
the Silent Unity healing." We are not sure that you
understand that you are to cooperate with us, by studying
the Truth so that you may come into the understanding of
the divine laws of health and life and prosperity, and by
joining us daily in prayers.
We will not say that the work we do here has nothing to do
with the healing. But we do not promise results unless we
have the faith and the cooperation of those for whom we
pray and to whom we give instruction. After all it is not
the physical and mental relief that means most to the
persons receiving treatment, and we are not so much
concerned with the results as we are with the growth in
consciousness that will make the results abiding.
This health law is threefold: spiritual, keeping a person
assured of his God-given freedom from all anxiety, worry,
fear, and lack; mental, giving him the intelligence that
enables him to do that which promotes health and success;
physical, forming those habits which keep him making the
right use of his faculties, and powers, and the life energy
and substance.

There is a tendency to disregard the harmonious combination
of these three elements, one person being very careful to
observe the spiritual, another to accomplish results
through the physical. Our work is to unify these three and
to bring our students into the understanding application of
the Truth of being.
One who remembers and lives by the spiritual promises of
the law of health will not worry, or seek to manage other
people's affairs, or neglect to feed his or her soul with
that which is necessary to keep it unfolding Christward.
One who is aware of the mental side of his health seeks to
keep himself free from the limitations of the race mind,
the opinions and demands of others, the depressions and
hurried attitudes that keep the Christ ideas from finding
perfect expression through his thoughts and acts.
One who is determined that his physical life will show
forth the peace and order of spiritual reality and divine
intelligence is considerate of his body, and careful in his
demands upon it. He sees to it that he understands the
physical requirements and that he meets these every day.
So you see there is more to our Silent Unity ministry than
a formula of words to be said at intervals! We want to help
you to live the Christ life here and now, which means to
live a life of understanding trust in the good; of joyous
activity, mental and physical; of freedom from fear and
worry; of loving contact with your fellows, without anxiety
as to their apparent
Page 64
shortcomings or selfishness. So we ask you to consider
prayerfully the following explanation of your being, and to
seek to incorporate an understanding of it in your
consciousness, using it in your daily living.
Being threefold, spirit, soul, body, we find that our
expression is threefold, the harmonious and constructive
unfoldments are threefold, and the things that we term
undesirable and imperfect and destructive are threefold
also. For example, joyous radiant health is the result of
the right spiritual viewpoint, the daily purposeful effort
to unfold the faculties and soul qualities, and the daily
recognition of the body as the temple of God and the
structure that Spirit and soul are building, all these
prompting us to give careful attention to the needs of the
system. Weakness, or sickness, or inharmony, or
imperfection in the organism, is the result of failure to
identify oneself with God, the divine source, and
understanding how to lay hold of and express one's
inheritance of spiritual powers; some limitation in the
soul's development of its riches; some ignorance of the
body's requirements and disregard of the divine law of life
and health.
Study and training are required for righteous expression of
our threefold nature. The study and training should be more
thorough than are our first lessons in life, because we are
dealing with advanced stages of the same thing. Because of
lack of understanding much must be done over and changed.
So if we would have the full, free use of our senses and
our organs, we must get at the causes of inharmonies,
remove them, and
Page 65
establish a new and perfect pattern and plan of action. We
do this by remembering that we are God's children, that God
has created us perfect, and that there is a law established
within us that will keep us unfolding harmoniously if we
will but recognize it.
We who have begun it find this study of the Truth of being
and the science of living much more fascinating than any
school course.
To know how to hear with the mind, and to discern and
discriminate between the true and real and worthwhile and
that which is mere foolishness and the clatter of elements
not yet organized under law; and to realize that one may be
obedient and receptive without giving up one's right to
freedom of choice and action, is real accomplishment.
To know how to see with the mind, to discern and to
understand that which the nerves and cells of the sight
organs report without being disturbed by the masses of
manifest substance and the actions of those about one,
gives real joy and poise. And the eyes are kept strong and
steady and equal to the work for which they were formed.
To know how to detect that which is adverse and not for
one's good and to refuse to bother oneself about the
seeming errors, so that the mind may be free to think out
and to register only good, and the nose (the organ that the
mind has built to help it in its work of taking in that
which is required and of leading the body into pleasant
experiences only) may be kept clean and open and keen to
respond.

To realize that one has God-given capacity for judging
righteous judgment and to understand that this judgment can
and will keep one from bitter experiences and enable one to
discriminate in all things, is one of the greatest
blessings we have. The faculty of judgment has built the
sense of taste, and when we are giving the attention to
this faculty that we should, our taste helps mightily in
the care of our bodies.
There are the other senses, which are equally fascinating
and perhaps more subtle. But this is enough to show what we
mean by spiritual study, which re-educates us and enables
us to go on from where many of us have stopped.
Daily declare that your spiritual life and world, your
mental life and world, your physical life and world are
unified and that you are expressing harmoniously the ideas
of the Christ Mind on these three planes. Know that your
everyday physical life can and should be inspired and happy
and purposeful, yet not strained and tense, and that it is
never necessary to do that which is harmful or weakening to
any of the functions or organs in accomplishing what is
right and just and worthwhile and expedient. As you
practice mentally seeing God's plan and world in your life,
you will find that you are more poised, that you will do
just the right thing, and that your body will be healthy.
The realm of mind is even more fascinating than the
manifestation of its ideas. One who strikes a balance
Page 67
between the study of the mental side and the
manifestations, and in living in his threefold being is
truly blessed. He is free, and joyous, and can keep healthy
and prosperous. The past does not worry him, the future
does not entice him; he knows that a full measure of good
is his, here and now. He profits by the past, glories in
the now, and is fearlessly looking toward the future!
