In The Christ Within she writes: "Right here let the reader be fully familiar with the difference between mental healing and spiritual or divine healing. Mental healing uses the power in the individual mentality with which to heal, saying that the individual mentality is God.

Mental healing is a process of thought, wherein the healer sends from his own mind thoughts of health, strength, power, peace to the mind of another who has called upon him for help, or, in the case of self-healing, wherein the individual would help himself. These thoughts of the healer have birth or origin in his individual mentality, and, as the river can rise no higher than its source, so one's idea of what is right and true "treatment" can rise no higher than his own viewpoint. Spiritual or divine healing is not based on the healer nor the patient nor the mentality of either nor is it based on any mental cause or mental effect of that cause.

Spiritual healing is based on CHRIST and REALITY. It lifts the vision from the mind, from the thoughts, from the self, to the great I AM, and it bases all its declarations on Truth, on Reality, and the finished perfection of God and man.

Spiritual healing is not based on any method or any system of any individual on earth, but it is founded on Jesus Christ, Himself, and His teaching. Any books, based on the Bible, that point away from the self to Christ, Truth, are based on the Rock against which the gates of hell cannot prevail. . . ."
