All of this learning is good, practical application is even better. Chapter IV is one of my favorite parts of the Science of Mind.
So Let’s see what Dr. Ernest Holmes has to say.
Pg. 57 The one who wishes scientifically to work out his problems, must daily take the time to meditate and mentally treat the condition, no matter what the apparent conditions may be.
Pg. 52 There is no doubt about . . . the availability of the Law. The Law is infinite. It is right where you happen to be at any instant. It occupies all space and fills every form. . . . It flows through everything, and since we exist, It must be in and through us. This is the crux of the whole matter. Infinite . . . as the law is – ever present and available as it must be. . . It must flow through us to manifest for us.
It must and will respond to everyone, because it is Law . . . We are surrounded by an intelligent force and substance from which all things are made.
It is around us in its original state, ready and willing to take form through the impulse of our creative belief. It works for us by flowing through us. This law we did not create; this law we cannot change. We can use it correctly only as we understand and use It according to Its nature.
Hence it follows that if we believe that It will not work, It really works by appearing to “not work.’ When we believe it cannot and will not, then according to the principle it DOES NOT. But when It does not, It still does – only it does according to our belief that It will not.
Let us apply this right now.
Pg. 56 I am a center is the Divine Mind – a point of God conscious life, truth and action. My affairs are divinely guided and guarded into right action. . . There is power in this word that I speak because it is of the truth and it is the truth. . . There is perfect and continuous right action in my affairs. I am compelled to do the right thing at the right time, to say the right thing at the right time, to follow the right course at all times.
All suggestions of age, poverty, limitation or unhappiness are uprooted from my mind and cannot gain entrance to my thoughts. I am happy well and filled with perfect life. I live in the Spirit of Truth and am conscious that the Spirit of Truth lives in me. . . . There is no unbelief, no doubt, no uncertainty. I know and I know that I know. Let every thought of doubt vanish from my mind that I may know the truth and the Truth may make me free.
And So It Is
