Disease
is the Product of, and subject to, three influences. First, a man's past,
wherein he pays the price of ancient error. Second, his inheritance,
wherein he shares with all mankind those tainted streams of energy which
are of group origin. Thirdly, he shares with all the natural forms that
which the Lord of Life imposes on His body. These three influences are
called "The Ancient Law of Evil Sharing." This must give place
some day to that new Law of Ancient Dominating Good which lies behind
all that God made. This law must be brought into activity by the spiritual
will of man.
