A Call For Love

 

Phineas Parkhurst Quimby was the greatest healer America has ever known. He was clairvoyant, and he would read the contents of the mind of an individual, tell him the cause of his sickness. At least over 60 percent of the people who came to Quimby were sick because of false religious beliefs. He attributed this guilt, fear, and things of that nature engendered by the church.

Dr. David Seabury,

the noted psychologist whom I cited in the previous chapter, followed Quimby’s techniques. He told me about a wonderful woman who was with her husband one day, and her husband was shot in front of her eyes. She became paralyzed. Seabury said that her brain didn’t send messages to the spinal area. In other words, she was paralyzed mentally, so to speak, in her brain. She couldn’t walk. She was paralyzed from the waist down. She was place in a wheel chair. They thought she would never walk again.

Quimby avowed that wisdom healed his patients. He had a vivid contemplation of the ideal. He would contemplate harmony, beauty, love, peace, vitality, and wholeness. He would see the patient as the patient ought to be, and that would be communicated to the patient. And the patient would pick it up. It got remarkable, marvelous results.

Dr. Seabury talked to this woman and said, “Before the paralysis, you rode horseback, and you swam, you’re athletic. Now, this is what I want you to do. Even though you are in a wheel chair, and even though you are paralyzed, imagine you are on a horse. You are feeling the mane of the horse. You are touching the horse, the stirrups, and the whole thing is real. Contemplate the reality of it. Yes, make it vivid. Make it real. Actualize it. You are touching the horse, and feeling it, and you are jumping over a fence, and all that is real. You don’t just see yourself on a horse; you are on the horse. You feel the reality of it with all the sensory vividness at your command like an actor dramatizes a role. He lives the role. He doesn’t see himself on the screen. He doesn’t see himself doing something. He is doing it. He feels the reality of it.”

He said, “Do this several times a day. Also, imagine that you are swimming. You feel the chill of the water, the movement. It’s all real. Someone is congratulating you on crossing the lake, and so on.”

She kept this up three or four times a day for 15 pr 20 minutes, using her imagination, feeling the reality of it. He said, “The day will come when you will walk.” This went on for weeks ad months.

This woman suddenly got a high fever. The doctor came, gave her some antibiotic tablets or medicine, and told her to stay in bed because she had a high fever. She had only one child, a son who was in South Africa. Seabury arranged for her son to call her in the hospital and she was told to expect that call at a specific time. The nurses were told to stay away from her room at the time of the call. The telephone was put about 20 feet away.

Remember, she had been meditating for a long time. When the phone rang, it kept ringing, and ringing. All this was prearranged. She got up out of bed to answer the call – a call for love, she loved her son. And she heard his voice. Seabury said she walked after that and lived to be 90 years of age.
