The broadly accepted assumption that disease can be healed only when—and if— institutionalized medicine discovers the cause and cure severely limits mankind's freedom and health. It perpetuates a wrong concept of the laws that govern a man's health and well-being, laws that will—if properly interpreted—heal him. Blinded to the nature and operation of these laws by our unchallenged false assumptions, we may feel helpless and paralyzed before what is not an ultimate reality but an illusion.
The reality is that man—God's expression—is never alone, never unsupported for an instant by ever-present Principle, which is Love and Life.

Mortal blindness is the reason for the common reluctance to turn to God for help until all else fails and all hope in human invention expires.

The truth of his nakedness was disclosed not by prestigious members of the local intellectual fraternity but through the unclouded eye and unpolluted tongue of a child. Technological progress may tempt us to believe we are clothed in the security of our own (or someone else's) intellectual prowess, when in fact—as those suffering disease medically diagnosed as hopeless are often apt to notice—we are indeed naked. Since Adam, we have been concerned with our nakedness, our seeming defenselessness, and have spent a disproportionate amount of our energy covering ourselves and our social organizations with a wide range of human inventions. "And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?"Gen. 3:9-11;
