Review by Kim Young Ju, Spring, 2002
This book discusses the
religious experiences of faith healing.
The author asserts that
faith healing is a human phenomenon that should be neither crassly dismissed nor
blindly accepted. He says that faith healing needs to be studied rationally and
scientifically, with carefully controlled and recorded documentation and
verification.
His belief is that the
wonderful force of faith healing exists as a biological reality within the brain
of each and every one of us.
The utilization of this
force is not a mystery. It is a challenge. The challenge is for all of us to use
the “human” part of our brain to its fullest capacity.
The most constructive
forces within the human brain, according to Shiloh, are the neocortex
(MacLean’s term), Superego (Freud’s term), and Adult. These forces can be
marshaled to help people react positively to life situations and thereby create
health and well-being.
