(Q) Would the conflict between spirit and flesh cause one to be affected physically, to become tired or even ill?

(A) Relatively so. As He gave, “For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk?” Or again when confronted by that which had become as a disease, as a temperament of the body, as the wantonness of the flesh, He said to the woman, “Where are those thine accusers?—No man, Lord—Neither do I accuse thee; but sin no more.” What took place then in the experience of those individuals spoken to by Life, Light and Immortality? These were concentrated and centralized upon the activity of what? What has ever been the builder, body, mind and spirit? As given, the expressions are in the physical, the motivative force is the spirit, the mind is the builder. What was builded? Those bodies had dwelt as individuals do (as may be illustrated in habit) with the interconsciousness of the necessity of the expression of something within self which brought dis-ease, the natural result of what? An at-variance to the divine law! Hence it may truly be said that to be at-variance may bring sickness, dis-ease, disruption, distress in a physical body. It is true then that the mind may heal entirely by the spoken word, by the laying on of hands, dependent upon the consciousness of the motivative forces in the individual body. Yet those requiring material expression to create a balance may necessitate drug, knife, water, heat, electricity, or any of those forces that are yet what? What is the spirit? The manifestation of God! The Creative Force working in, with and upon what? The awareness, the interconsciousness of the body, the mind, the spirit, as separated in individuals! O that all would gain just that! and not feel, “Yes, I understand—but my desires and my body and my weaknesses and this or that—and I didn’t do it.” Who else did?

This may be a hard statement for many, but you will eventually come to know it is true: No fault, no hurt comes to self save that thou hast created in thine consciousness, in thine inner self, the cause. For only those that ye love may hurt you.
