Is the Secret of Success Health & Harmony?

In order to discover the secret of success and regain health it is necessary to raise up continually to the Divine Ideal of health, harmony and perfection. But the secret to success will remain hidden if there still remains a clashing of the personal will with the Divine Will or if there is any hate, malice, envy or fear in the heart. The will must be surrendered to the greater Will (this, in reality, is our highest good, for the fulfillment of the Divine Will is the happy destiny of man): the heart must forgive and be filled with love; fear must be cast out, and replaced by confidence and complete trust, before we can enter into that happy care-free, restful state which is necessary for healing.

Health is harmony—a delicate balance and adjustment between spirit, soul, mind and body. This harmony is dependent entirely upon the greater harmony between ourselves and God. So long as there is a conflict of will, so long as there is hate and resentment, so long as there is selfishness or while there is fear, this harmony cannot exist. Therefore, the bed-rock cause for regaining the secret of success is spiritual harmony, all healing being a restoration of harmony between man and his Divine Source. When this harmony is restored, man is no longer a kingdom divided against itself, for he becomes established in unity; he works with the Universe and the Divine Laws of his being, instead of against them. The Divine Life and Power flow through him unimpeded, promoting perfect sub-conscious functioning. His thoughts become cleansed at their source (“Wash away all myiniquity and cleanse me from my sin.”). He becomes free from the hypnotic spell of the race mind: his eyes, through the influence of the Divine Spirit, become opened to the Truth; therefore he is no longer blinded by the Prince of this world. In the Divine Union he becomes free and the secret of success; health/harmony is his.

Ephesians 4:31-32 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

The subject of grief and its effect upon health has purposely been left to the last. No amount of right thinking will prevent bereavements in this life. These form part of the necessary discipline of life, and it depends entirely upon how we meet our trials whether they shall be hurtful or the greatest possible blessing. By rebelling against life’s discipline, griefs become hurtful, but the hurt is not in the bereavement itself, but in the attitude of the mind and heart. Until the soul is able to drink the cup of sorrow willingly, and say “Thy will be done,” bereavement is hurtful, destroying both, happiness and the secret of success; health. The cause of the hurt is, however, in the hardness of heart, and not in the bereavement itself.

There must, therefore, be submission and an acknowledgement that the discipline is necessary. This does not imply, however, a weak giving-in to grief and mourning. One who has been bereaved can never, it is true, be the same again, for he or she becomes more humble, more loving, more sympathetic, richer and more mellow in character. The loved one can never be forgotten, but that is no reason why the heart should be bowed down by grief and the life made desolate by sorrow. In such cases true religion, not religiousness, is the only thing that can satisfy the soul, harmonize the mind, and heal the body. To be established in Truth, knowing that all is well: that God makes no mistakes and that there is, in reality, no death but only change, is the only way by which bereavement can be made to be a blessing in disguise.
John 5:24 I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

When this stage is reached, grief is overcome, death being swallowed up in victory. The only remedy for all life’s troubles is conscious harmony with our Divine Source and the Divine Will and Purpose which desire to give us the secret of success.
