Treatment Is Self-Treatment

Dehypnotism is a state of consciousness that sees that which actually is: it is the ability to see, hear, taste, touch, and smell Reality; it is the ability to see sin not as sin, and disease not as disease, but rather to be able to separate these from the person and realize that we are dealing with a false appearance produced by the belief in a selfhood apart from God, a universal belief so powerful that it operates as law in our consciousness until we detect and cast it out, that is, until we know the truth which makes us free.

The only way this can be accomplished is through spiritual consciousness. First of all, we must know this: we cannot cure a disease-there is none; we cannot overcome poverty-there is none; we cannot overcome death-there is none. The only thing we can do is to recognize that we are not dealing with those appearances or suggestions as such: we are dealing with hypnotism.
No one can ever be dehypnotized as long as he is judging by appearances because the human mind with which he is judging is a state of hypnotism. In other words, in looking out from our eyes, we are looking out from a state of hypnosis in which our eyes are always going to see babies being born and old people dying; our ears are always going to be hearing about sin, disease, death, lack, and limitation. Until we are able to shut off those five senses and develop an inner discernment, we are always going to see, hear, taste, touch, and smell error.
The only way to be dehypnotized is to quiet the physical senses, to be still inside, and then spiritual awareness reveals the truth of being that enables us to see that which is not visible, to hear that which is not audible, to know that which is not knowable with the human senses.
Meditate on this idea of hypnotism as the substance of every form of the mortal or material universe that is appearing to you. When you see sin, disease, lack, and limitation, remember it is hypnotism presenting itself to you as what is called evil form. But then when you see beauty all around, the mountains, ocean, and sunshine, remember that these, too, are forms of hypnotism, only this time appearing to you as good forms. This does not mean that we are not to enjoy the good of human existence, but rather that we are to enjoy it for what it is-not as something real, in and of itself, but because the reality, that which underlies all good, is spiritual, and must there- fore be spiritually discerned. We enjoy the forms of good, knowing them to be temporary forms, not something to be stored Up, not something to be put in bank vaults, but some- thing to be enjoyed, and then we go on each day letting the manna fall afresh.
When you have become accustomed to the idea of observing the harmonious human appearances and the inharmonious human appearances with the same degree of unconcern, you will know that you have arrived at a state of spiritual consciousness in which you see that which is invisible, hear that which is inaudible, and know that which is unknowable. This is Christ- consciousness.
Bits and bites from No and, Joel Goldsmith, Realization of Oneness
Treatment Is Self-Treatment

Whereas, heretofore, if a person telephoned and said, "I have a headache," or "I am sick," we sat down immediately to do some work to correct that, now, in this new consciousness in which we are functioning, we do not do that at all. Now, we merely sit down to feel the conscious presence of God, to commune with the Infinite, and then let the spiritual harmony come forth. So you see that in this new and modern method of treatment, actually, the practitioner gives the practitioner the treatment about the patient.
