CURE Quote
Paracelsus is quoted as having said the following: “Man has a visible and an invisible work-shop. The visible one is his body, the invisible one is imagination (mind). . . . The imagination is sun in the soul of man. . . . The spirit is the master, imagination the tool, and the body the plastic material. . . . The power of the imagination is a great factor in medicine. It may produce diseases . . . and it may cure them. . . . Ills of the body may be cured by physical remedies or by the power of the spirit acting through the soul.”
