Please no more ...
Do you think you're the first person to have been hit by a car and not be seriously hurt? Do you think you're the first person to be stabbed and survive?
I'm keen to know how you are sure that you cured this person of her cancer.
Each of these events you mention are either explainable or delusional.
What do you think your constant, n ...[text shortened]... at this incontravertible evidence is.
Otherwise, please, for all of our sanity, shut up ...

Well
The Scriptures say, "In Him we live, and move, and
have our being." What then is this seeming power, in-
dependent of God, which causes disease and
cures it? What is it but an error of belief,--
a law of mortal mind, wrong in every sense,
embracing sin, sickness, and death? It is the very anti-
pode of immortal Mind, of Truth, and of spiritual law.
It is not in accordance with the goodness of God's char-
acter that He should make man sick, then leave man to
heal himself; it is absurd to suppose that matter can both
cause and cure disease, or that Spirit, God, produces
disease and leaves the remedy to matter.
John Young of Edinburgh writes: "God is the father
of mind, and of nothing else." Such an utterance is
"the voice of one crying in the wilderness" of human
beliefs and preparing the way of Science. Let us learn
of the real and eternal, and prepare for the reign of
Spirit, the kingdom of heaven,--the reign and rule of
universal harmony, which cannot be lost nor remain
forever unseen.
Mind, not matter, is causation. A material body
only expresses a material and mortal mind. A mortal
man possesses this body, and he makes it
harmonious or discordant according to the
images of thought impressed upon it. You embrace
your body in your thought, and you should delineate
upon it thoughts of health, not of sickness. You should
banish all thoughts of disease and sin and of other beliefs
included in matter. Man, being immortal, has a perfect
indestructible life. It is the mortal belief which makes
the body discordant and diseased in proportion as igno-
rance, fear, or human will governs mortals.
Mind, supreme over all its formations and governing
them all, is the central sun of its own systems of ideas,
the life and light of all its own vast creation;
and man is tributary to divine Mind. The
material and mortal body or mind is not the man.
The world would collapse without Mind, without the in-
telligence which holds the winds in its grasp. Neither
philosophy nor skepticism can hinder the march of the
Science which reveals the supremacy of Mind. The im-
manent sense of Mind-power enhances the glory of Mind.
Nearness, not distance, lends enchantment to this view.
The compounded minerals or aggregated substances
composing the earth, the relations which constituent
masses hold to each other, the magnitudes,
distances, and revolutions of the celestial
bodies, are of no real importance, when we remember
that they all must give place to the spiritual fact by the
translation of man and the universe back into Spirit. In
proportion as this is done, man and the universe will be
found harmonious and eternal.
Material substances or mundane formations, astro-
nomical calculations, and all the paraphernalia of specu-
lative theories, based on the hypothesis of material law
or life and intelligence resident in matter, will ulti-
mately vanish, swallowed up in the infinite calculus of
Spirit.
