Each spiritual healing I've had gives me more confidence that God is the only healer, and that since I'm His spiritual "idea," I have control over disease or anything unlike God, who is good.
In 1990, I found a lump under one arm. When I became aware of the lump, I rejected the thought that it could affect me, and prayed to understand that I couldn't be harmed by anything, because God is All and is entirely good. In other words, I realized that it was no part of my spiritual identity as God's likeness. I was reassured by the idea that "nothing inharmonious can enter being, for Life is God" (Science and Health, p. 288). I thought deeply about this, as well as about ideas from the Bible and Science and Health. Whenever I became conscious of the growth, I denied that it had any real existence, and I affirmed the facts about my existence as I understood them. For example, that God created me to express Him—to be perfect and spiritual. He never made me mortal or created any aliment that could end my life. Shortly after I began praying this way, the growth disappeared. During this same time, a growth that had developed on my lower lip was also quickly healed.
A short time later, I was able to hear again.
