I have noticed in visiting with folks far and near that there were those who were "stuck" in old doctrines and traditions of teachings that denied basic understandings of the true nature and purposes of God as well as their own God-given power and ability. They were held under the influence of those who watered down the truth to fit the human condition rather than elevate the human condition to fit the truth. While others, perhaps more progressive in their knowledge of truth, suffered under the phenomena of knowing far more than their ability to apply it to daily living. They felt defeated, crushed and confused. In their quest for something real and true they often missed some very basic understandings and experiences along the way. I have come to call this "throwing the baby out with the bath water." This is throwing out the good and needful with the bad and confining. Both camps of spiritual thought needed foundational repairs and restructuring. A house cannot stand if parts of the foundation are missing. The desire to bring the best of both worlds together and preserve the truths each have, as well as the desire to see us all live and understand to our highest potential is what has motivated this book.

Contained within these pages is heaven's answer to all earthbound suffering. We discover here what is the single factor which causes us to see what is not. We find the single revelation which removes the clay from our eyes to behold heaven right here, as earth. And we discover what that clay really is that has held us forever in such confusion. When we behold heaven what will we see? The return to Eden must follow the path through the angel with the flaming sword. This sword has one objective and that is to burn away the present human acceptance of being unclothed, undone, unworthy and just "all wrong." The fiery sword never touches us but removes from us all false coverings. When we finally stand unaccused, guiltless, blameless and wholly innocent, we find ourselves in the eternal Glory and wordless wonder of Eden. All this comes with a true and clear understanding of Mercy ... the core, the heart, the source of God. Mercy is not compassion although man customarily uses the words interchangeably. Mercy is not forgiveness, although that also is erroneously often used as well. Forgiveness implies something to be cleansed from, an offense. But Mercy cannot see what it knows has never truly existed. It is capable of seeing only what is eternally true, consistent and perpetual ... the immutable Glory of God shining through each one of us ... as though there were only one of us. The seeing of that, the knowing of that, heals the nations; a commission given unto the sons of God. Without the knowledge and understanding of the core character-attribute of Mercy, we will never fulfill our calling as priests unto God.

We have all heard that the truth shall make us free. We have all longed for that freedom from suffering and tragedy. Many have actively pursued what "the truth" actually is and many have found the answers they sought. Yet, we often find ourselves confused as to how to apply the understandings we have achieved. "Now that I know, how do I use that knowledge to find lasting freedom? What are my responsibilities? Are they difficult? Can I hope to reach the goal of health, harmony and happiness?" I have found those answers to be as near as the heart that beats within us. And equally as simple to understand. This then is a path of healing. Whether it is yourself you seek to heal, or another for whom you pray. It is a path so simple we have missed it as we sought through the maze of religious traditions and man-made doctrines. Let the Spirit and Love of God take you by the hand as your read through these pages, and let Him lead you to freedom and safety. This is the third book in a series concerning healing. The first book, Of Monkeys and Dragons: Freedom from the Tyranny of Disease, is a chronicle of my earliest, tentative steps towards understanding principles necessary to achieve permanent healing of anything that afflicts mankind. The second, The God that We've Created: The Basic Cause of All Disease, outlines the truths that must be known to counter what we have been taught throughout the centuries, which has supported the pain and suffering of mankind. And now this third book????????????????????????a simple "how-to" for all who have followed this path.
