Science and Christian Healing.

This chain of advance in efficiency of energy production, which gives us an increase by three or four orders of magnitude in energy flux density, is very much needed for interstellar space-flight. This is needed, for with the development of man, also expands its frontier. In very real terms, there is no limit to the physical resources that a highly developed application of intelligence can gain access to for human use, and the frontier where mankind finds its expression.
The same is obviously true about scientific Christian healing, as Christ Jesus had demonstrated to some degree. He spoke of his work as but a beginning. He predicted, if mankind were to continue in 'his word' far greater works than his, we would do. Indeed, much greater works are being done. It has become possible in this age, through scientific understanding, to recognize and demonstrate that man is free. The moral, cultural, scientific, and technological basis exists for this demonstration to be fully made in practical terms. No inherent limits exist that would prevent mankind from demonstrating this most profound underlying principle of man's being.
From what can be observed in practice, there exists apparently no limit to the advancing development of the intelligence that is reflected in man, and what it can achieve in practical terms. Effective spiritual healing through scientific understanding, requires however, a certain level of mental infrastructure development below which the capability cannot be realized. Christ Jesus worked thirty years on developing that infrastructure, and when he was done, the results that were achieved were miraculous. By the same token, the reported occurrence of spiritual healing in modern times, indicates that the requisite understanding can be achieved through a chain of scientific discoveries. In fact, it has bee demonstrated that the infrastructure for Christian healing can be achieved more readily than the fabled energy technologies of matter-antimatter reaction systems can be achieved which appear solidly on the horizon of the rationally practical. Thus, the subject of this book is not a pie in the sky utopian dream, but a practical subject that already has had a rich history.
As we explore mankind's rich history, it becomes apparent that it is always the underlying principle or fundamental law (the law based on Truth) that needs to be discovered, by which progress is achieved. Nothing ever happens by magic in the real world. Every step of progress requires dedicated work. Magic happens only in fairy tale stories which, sadly, are told to the world's children which confuse their budding minds. Sometimes people continue to believe in their fairy tale stories, even the more learned fairy tale stories that lead people to belief that black is white, that matter and the limits of the dust of the ground are supreme, and that nothing happens that cannot be understood materially and through earth based environmental reasoning.
Then the question arises, what about love, honesty, care, devotion, generosity, integrity, creativity, ingenuity? Do they have a totally material basis, or even a remotely material basis? Are they derived from the dust of the ground? No! But they are real, are they not? They support life and human existence more powerfully than we generally give them credit for.
Laws that have no material basis.
What, then, are these absolute laws? Who or what created them? Where do they come from? What are they telling us? What do they tell us about our innermost nature as human beings and about the prospects of human civilization in the near and long term? These are some of the questions that appear to be bound up into the immensely larger complex of divine metaphysics, which by application of its laws becomes manifest in metaphysical healing.
