Faith without works does not exist. Faith ALWAYS works!
-Emma Curtis Hopkins
 
One of the most influential teachers on my journey of faith, spiritual healing and understanding (life understanding) is Emma Curtis Hopkins.  Her words strike a chord within me that sparks understanding like none other. She calls this activity the "keynote." It is a healing word of Truth (spoken silently or out loud) that brings immediate recognition of its import. In the presence of a healing word of Truth, a peace comes over you. All of you (mind, body and soul) rises to agreement.

The realization that comes from a healing word, is the inner healing that visibly out-pictures in tangible ways (e.g. physical health, relationship harmony, financial well-being, career success, the manifestation of unexpected good, etc.) She brings the life and words of Jesus into a practical use. She brings the life and works of Jesus into our everyday experience. Let us not forget that Jesus' ministry was a healing ministry. His disciples healed, with and without him present. He encouraged his disciples to know that "these and even greater works shall ye do." 
 
I am inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus. I am encouraged by the scientific way that Emma Curtis Hopkins and others outlined, as well as demonstrated his method of healing. I do believe that we are all vibrating at a certain note, some high, some low. The potential for healing - mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, financial and relationally is without bounds. Perhaps we can all strive for our individual best life, knowing that we are doing our part for the universal best of all. Perhaps we can open up to healing all of the nooks and crannies of our lives with joy and ease. You can rest assured that whatever you believe will manifest in your life. Why not believe in miracles? Why not believe in health, happiness, succes, loving relationships and satisfaction in all aspects of life?
 
It has been said the Emma Curtis Hopkins is the "teacher of teachers," a "mystic" and a healer. As a student of her works for several years, I certainly concur with this description of her. Her teachings have inspired worldwide ministries, healing practitioners nationwide and a multitude of metaphysical writings. Founders of the very popular Unity Church (Charles and Myrtle Fillmore) and Religious Science/Science of Mind (Ernest Holmes) were her students, as well as other metaphysical schools. Many of Emma's ideas are interwoven into the fabric of their teachings, and what is commonly called "New Thought" today. Emma taught about Jesus as a "master teacher" who served as a wayshower to humanity to experience unity with the Divine "Father" as well as to accomplish healing for self and others.
 
For inspiration, spiritual education and healing, I highly recommend a thorough study of the teachings of Emma Curtis Hopkins.
