ROSICRUCIAN METHOD OF HEALING 105day of His coming. May God bless our efforts and
strengthen our hands in the Good Work.
The Invisible Helpers
Our method of healing is not altogether a spiritual
matter. We use physical means wherever it is possible.
There are times even when we send our patients to a
doctor in order that they may obtain quick relief from
him by a certain treatment which we cannot give as
promptly by other methods. Also, the diet of patients
receives careful attention, for naturally, as the body is
built up of physical substances, we are giving medicine
by using the right food. But in addition, healing is
carried on by the Elder Brothers through a band of
Invisible Helpers whom they are instructing.
These Invisible Helpers are Probationers who
during the daytime live a worthy life of helpfulness
and thereby fit themselves or earn for themselves the
privilege of being helpful through the instrumentality
of the Elder Brothers at night. These Probationers are
gathered together in bands according to their
temperaments and ability. They are under instruction
of other Probationers who are doctors, and all of them
work under the guidance of the Elder Brothers, who
naturally are the moving Spirits in the whole work.
The system of forming and organizing a band of
Invisible Helpers is accomplished by the use of the
effluvia from their vital bodies. The first of this is
obtained at the time when the Probationer signs his
obligation and it is renewed every day when he makes
the record upon his report blank. So long as he is
faithful and lives the life of purity and service it forms
