444 — WATCH lest you treat the body directly, when you have a physical disease or claim. Paul tells us to be absent, or to retreat from the body, in order to be present with the Lord. One might coin a word and declare that, when one has a physical ill or pain, the demand is to “debody” his thought, — to retreat from the body, rather than to treat the body, — in order that he may work wholly in the realm of thought.
