Mind-cure.

“Those early religious movements – Christian Science, New Thought and the Emmanuel Movement – attracted many Americans who believed that mental health was, or should be, a function of religion.  This ideological kinship strengthened the image of Freud as a mental healer and thus favorably influenced the American reception of psychoanalysis.” So concludes “THE AMERICAN RECEPTION OF SIGMUND FREUD” _[1] by Ruth Pedersen Hunsberger

The sealed envelope test; a double blind experiment.

The sealed envelope test was applied to both Leonora Piper and W. Stainton Moses. Information was sealed in envelopes that neither had any knowledge of, nor access to, and they would then talk to the spirit world to obtain the messages

Persistence

Vernon Howard told us we may have to knock on the door of Truth ten thousand times before it will answer. But it will answer, and then all the effort will be rewarded a thousand fold.

Be faithful to me and I will be faithful to you - The Emmanuel Movement

The Emmanuel Movement was a psychologically-based approach to religious healing introduced in 1906 as an outreach of the Emmanuel Church in Boston, Massachusetts. In practice, the religious element was de-emphasized and the primary modalities were individual and group therapy. Episcopal priests Elwood Worcester [1] and Samuel McComb [2] established a clinic at the church which lasted 23 years and offered both medical and psychological services. The primary long-term influence of the movement, however, was on the treatment of alcoholism.

[1]  Elwood Worcester (1862–1940) was the originator of the Emmanuel movement philosophy. He was raised in an educated middle-class family which fell into poverty as a result of business reversals and the death of Worcester's father. After high school, Worcester went to work at a railway claim-department office. One day, while alone in the office, he had an experience of the room filling with light and heard the words, "Be faithful to me and I will be faithful to you." After discussing the experience with his priest, Algernon Crapsey, he became convinced that he was called to the ministry. At the time he was supporting his family, but he later entered Columbia University on scholarship and earned a bachelor's degree with highest honors. Worcester, Elwood (Emmanuel Movement)

Christmas is not a time; it is a state of mind.

Bits and bites

"God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed (or set) on Thee because he trusteth in Thee."

The statement means that God's peace is set in the Holy Spirit, because it is fixed on God. It is also fixed in you. You, then, ARE fixed in the peace of God.

_LOVE EXISTS_

"There is a reason why people, as you see them in the supermarket and on the street, are sad, desolate, blank-faced, irritable, gloomy, why they snap out rude remarks and why they have so many problems.
I'm going to tell you why people are that way. It's because that man or woman has no one to love and has no one to love him. That's it.
_Love exists_.
You don't know it,
but like a lighted lodge in a dark forest,
love exists."

 Sickness is but another name for sin.
Healing is but another name for God.
The miracle is thus a call to Him.

Akhetaton, Moses AND Monotheism

MOSES AND MONOTHEISM by SIGMUND FREUD

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN by KATHERINE JONES

1939

Without Akhetaton (Ikhnaton), would there have been a religion with one God? Would there have been an exodus or Moses? What was the relation of Moses to Akhetaton? Freud offered his theories in 1938 which if anything provides ample research references.

In the sixth year of Amenhotep's reign this enmity had grown to such an extent that the king changed his name, of which the now proscribed name of the god Amon was a part. Instead ofAmenhotep he called himself Ikhnaton. [I follow Breasted's (American) spelling in this name (the accepted English spelling is Akhenaten). The king's new name means approximately the same as his former one : God is satisfied. Compare our Godfrey and the German Gotthold.] But not only from his name did he eliminate that of the hated God, but also from all inscriptions and even where he found it in his father's name Amenhotep III. Soon after his change of name Ikhnaton left Thebes, which was under Amon's rule, and built a new capital lower down the river which he called
