Emma Curtis
Hopkins said there
are three ways that people could heal:
l) you would get the realization of the omnipresence of God, and it was
greater and more powerful than anything appearing,
2) to get to the cause; get
behind what was creating a negative condition,
3) anyone can heal who has a
desire to help, uplift, and to serve Mankind. So, you see, you do not always
need to follow a lot of intellectual teachings if the heart has the desire to
serve and to give.
She taught, "Heal
thyself and then teach others to heal". This was a healing movement,
delivering Man out of error, sickness, poverty, and death. Emma Curtis Hopkins and her followers healed all over everywhere. Some
were healed instantly, while for others it took a long time to bring forth the
perfection. She also told us that the people who were healed experienced three changes:
l) their health was totally restored,
2) they had new, awakened
intelligence,
3) they had purified motive.
Emma Curtis Hopkins: forgotten founder of new
thought By Gail M. Harley states:
Harley B. Jeffery [ see For fifty years
he had engaged in healing, counseling, and speaking.] of the Unity School of Christianity taught course based on Hopkin’s
work. Charles S.
Braden* stated that Jeffery wrote several books: “His Mysticism is strikingly like The Higher Mysticism of Mrs. Hopkins.” Hopkins spoke of Jeffery in a letter, dated October
27, 1916, to “My beloved Myrtle Fillmore.” In what appears to be a response from Mrs. Fillmore she wrote, “I
have always spoken in the highest terms of Mr. H.B. Jeffery … [H]e is one of the greatest healers in the
country. … [W]hoever has reported anything different has spoken a malicious
falsehood (motive unknown).” Charles
