Illustrations.
You wish health. Affirm Health. Think Health. Hold the picture of yourself in health before your mind, just as the artist holds that of the statue he is carving from the marble. Hold it persistently and you will create health. Do you wish relief from poverty? Hold the idea of plenty to use, to enjoy, not to hoard, not to oppress, but to bless, and it will as surely come as rose from bud. This is the power of the Christian Scientist, the Divine Scientist, the Mental Scientist, the Soul Culturist, the Hypnotist, the Suggestionist; they all use the power of Suggestion and Affirmation, each more or less understandingly. It is the power of priest, politician, street fakir, auctioneer; of teacher, doctor, and reformer. All of these use it instinctively, for it is all the power man has---the power of Thought.
Affirmation.
The technical word in evidence here is AFFIRMATION. Affirm that which you
wish and it will manifest in your life. Learn a lesson
from the hypnotist. He says to the subject: "You cannot get up." He repeats it until the subject, because he
accepts it as truth, cannot get up. He says: "You have
a toothache," and repeats it until the painless jaw really
aches. So do we say to ourselves: "I am sick, poor,
old, unhappy, weak, penniless," until we make ourselves
so. Now turn about; "repent" and affirm the opposite.
Say, "I am rich, happy, healthy," until you find life
changing its aspects. It will change when you say this
from conviction. Realize that as Mind (or Spirit) you
are now potentially all you desire. It lies in you, waiting expression. For what one man is, all men are. If
one manifests as health, happiness and wealth, all men
can. Let that power which is life in you manifest your
desire. By Affirmation, direct the life-flow your way.
All is Good.
One affirmation contains all that is necessary for
Good. a perfect life. It is this: ALL IS GOOD. This is
faith in the Providence of the Universe, faith in
the intelligence and wisdom of that Almighty Power
