Frederick Joseph Jones was the first English spiritual healer with a large clientele. He took up to healing after having visited a spiritual training group, where he heard a voice asking him to agree to being a healing medium. Subsequently, he started first attempts in a group of six patients in Wimbledon. When he had seen he was successful, he dedicated his full life to healing.
One day, a physician sent him 12 patients asking for diagnosis, an ability granted to him by spiritual assistance, 10 of his diagnoses were correct. The physician was disconcerted and, when he examined the two faulty diagnoses, he found out that it was him who made the fault.
During his best times, Jones treated up to 28 000 patients a year, most of them by contact. In 1933, he died at the age of 48 after eleven years of successful healing. Contemporaries say he died so young because he was so devoted and humble that he worked without consideration of his own constitution. Unlike Edwards and Parish, Jones was a trance medium and spent several hours a day in trance during healing. |
