oneness with the Infinite Spirit of Life, whence all life in individual
form has come and is continually coming, and in the degree that through
this realization you open yourself to its divine inflow, do you set
into operation forces that will sooner or later bring even the physical
body into a state of abounding health and strength. For to realize
that this Infinite Spirit of Life can from its very nature admit of no
disease, and to realize that this, then, is the life in you, by
realizing your oneness with it, you can so open yourself to its more
abundant entrance that the diseased bodily conditions--effects--will
respond to the influences of its all-perfect power, this either quickly
or more tardily, depending entirely upon yourself.
There have been those who have been able to open themselves so fully to
this realization that the healing has been instantaneous and permanent.
The degree of intensity always eliminates in like degree the element of
time. _It must, however, be a calm, quiet, and expectant intensity,
rather than an intensity that is fearing, disturbed, and
non-expectant_. Then there are others who have come to this
realization by degrees.
Many will receive great help, and many will be entirely healed by a
practice somewhat after the following nature: With a mind at peace, and
with a heart going out in love to all, go into the quiet of your own
interior self, holding the thought,--I am one with the Infinite Spirit
of Life, the life of my life. I then as spirit, I a spiritual being,
can in my own real nature admit of no disease. I now open my body, in
which disease has gotten a foothold, I open it fully to the inflowing
tide of this Infinite Life, and it now, even now, is pouring in and
coursing through my body, and the healing process is going on. Realize
this so fully that you begin to feel a quickening and a warming glow
imparted by the life forces to the body. Believe the healing process
is going on. Believe it, and hold continually to it. Many people
greatly desire a certain thing, but expect something else. They have
greater faith in the power of evil than in the power of good, and hence
remain ill.
If one will give himself to this meditation, realization, treatment, or
whatever term it may seem best to use, at stated times, as often as he
may choose, and then _continually hold himself in the same attitude of
mind_, thus allowing the force to work continually, he will be
surprised how
