Someone has said that courage contains genius and magic. Face a situation fearlessly, and there is no situation to face; it falls away of its own weight. The explanation is, that fear attracted the ladder on the woman's pathway, and fearlessness removed it. Thus the invisible forces are ever working for man who is always "pulling the strings" himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract. People, who continually speak of disease, invariably attract it.
After man knows the truth, he cannot be too careful of his words. For example: I have a friend who often
says on the 'phone, "Do come to see me and have an oldfashioned chat." This "oldfashioned chat"
means an hour of about five hundred to a thousand destructive words, the principal topics being loss, lack,
failure and sickness. I reply: "No, I thank you. I've had enough oldfashioned chats in my life, they are too
expensive, but I will be glad to have a newfashioned chat, and talk about what we want, not what we
don't want." There is an old saying that man only dares use his words for three purposes, to "heal, bless or
prosper." What man says of others will be said of him, and what he wishes for another, he is wishing for
himself.
"Curses, like chickens, come home to roost."
If a man wishes someone "bad luck," he is sure to attract bad luck himself. If he wishes to aid someone to
success, he is wishing and aiding himself to success. The body may be renewed and transformed through
the spoken word and clear vision, and disease be completely wiped out of the consciousness. The
metaphysician knows that all disease has a mental correspondence, and in order to heal the body one must
first "heal the soul." The soul is the subconscious mind, and it must be "saved" from wrong thinking. In
the twentythird psalm, we read: "He restoreth my soul." This means that the subconscious mind or soul
must be restored with the right ideas, and the "mystical marriage" is the marriage of the soul and the
spirit, or the subconscious and super conscious mind.
They must be one. When the subconscious is
flooded with the perfect ideas of the super conscious, God and man are one, "I and the Father are one."
That is, he is one with the realm of perfect ideas; he is the man made in God's likeness and image
(imagination) and is given power and dominion over all created things, his mind, body and affairs.
It is safe to say that all sickness and unhappiness come from the violation of the law of love. A new
commandment I give unto you, "Love one another," and in the Game of Life, love or goodwill takes
every trick.
For example: A woman I know, had, for years an appearance of a terrible skin disease. The doctors told
her it was incurable, and she was in despair. She was on the stage, and she feared she would soon have to
give up her profession, and she had no other means of support. She, however, procured a good
engagement, and on the opening night, made a great "hit." She received flattering notices from the critics,
and was joyful and elated. The next day she received a notice of dismissal. A man in the cast had been
jealous of her success and had caused her to be sent away. She felt hatred and resentment taking complete
possession of her, and she cried out, "Oh God doesn’t let me hate that man." That night she worked for
hours "in the silence." She said, "I soon came into a very deep silence. I seemed to be at peace with
myself, with the man, and with the whole world. I continued this for two following nights, and on the
third day I found I was healed completely of the skin disease!" In asking for love, or good will, she had
fulfilled the law, ("for love is the fulfilling of the law") and the disease (which came from subconscious
resentment) was wiped out.
