The Law of Mind and Its Practical Application (Unabridged‪)‬

Demonstrating the spiritual principle of life is a process of convincing the mentality of an inner and ever-present good, reality is already perfect. God is always God and good is never evil. It is only as we turn, with our whole consciousness to the light that we receive light. It is impossible, while we keep ourselves covered with darkness, for the light to shine on us. Demonstration, which means bringing into our experience some happy thing which we have not heretofore enjoyed, is a conscious act of the mind specifically stating that the presence of the desired good is now felt, known and experienced. Treatment provides a spiritual nucleus in the creative mind and the law produces at the level of our spiritual receptivity to the idea. A treatment or prayer cannot produce beyond our ability to receive. Hence a treatment or a prayer contains, in a subtle way, its own answer. The answer is in a complete abandonment to the idea, the absolute acceptance of it in a spontaneous, normal, natural and happy way. God and the law knows nothing about struggle or unhappiness. God is a happy, a joyous, universal and eternal spirit of absolute perfection.
