Maude Smith's Correspondence with The Mother

29 November 1966

Mother,

Today after examining my neck the Doctor says that the real cause of my elbow pain is a degeneration of the bones because of age. He suggests some diathermy treatment and perhaps exercises. But this has to be three mornings a week for two or three weeks, and I don’t like to be away from the Book Stock so much.

Mother, surely all this is not necessary? If disease is caused by an imbalance in the different parts of the being, how can it be healed by diathermy? And if health depends on the ability to call the peace and to live in the peace of eternity, that is for you to teach me, not the Doctor. I should much prefer to depend on your Grace and Force for healing. I leave myself completely in your hands.

What you say is quite true. I fully approve and fully collaborate.

With love and blessings
