Do Religious Scientist believe that you can cure illness by thoughts alone?
“A treatment has as much Power as we put into the Word which we speak when we are giving it. It means simply knowing that what we say will be done unto us of a Power which can do anything that it is given to do. “Heaven and earth will pass away but my word will accomplish.” In calm confidence and perfect faith, speak and wait upon the perfect law. Get that mental attitude that never wavers. Be sure and it will be done.” – Ernest Holmes, Creative Mind
As Religious Scientists, we believe that there is one Mind (Infinite Intelligence and Creative Power of the Universe) which permeates all life. Some would call this “God.” Given this, the answer to this question is yes. Through directing our thought with clarity, maintaining the vision of perfect health, energy, vitality, vision, etc., we believe that anything can be healed. We believe that where we put our faith and what we focus upon is manifested in our lives. We utilize “treatment” which is a form of affirmative prayer developed by our founder, Ernest Holmes.
