MIND AND MATTER
Question—Does the universal subjectivity contain matter in the same way that conscious mind contains idea?

ANSWER—AS Spirit is the potential source of all inspiration and all ideas that are ever to be expressed, so the universal subjectivity must be a potential of the forms which are ever to evolve. Of itself it is an immaterial, unthinking, indeterminate stuff, having no desire of its own, being nothing of itself, yet being ever ready to take form.

NEUTRALIZING CONDITIONS BY DENIAL
Question—Will a positive denial of an existing condition neutralize the thought that caused this condition?

ANSWER—It will if one believes in the truth of his denial; if the mind is able to convince itself that negati0n has no true law to support it, no government of reality behind it.

TECHNIQUE OF THE SILENCE
Question—"Going into the Silence" is something I do not quite understand. Will you kindly explain?

ANSWER—The procedure called "Going into the Silence" is as follows: Sit comfortably in a chair in an alert attitude of mind. You are going into prayer, for a very definite purpose. The purpose of this particular silence should now be contemplated. If you seek health, the contemplation should revolve about the spiritual truth that in Divine Mind, where you are known by your own name, there is no connection between you and ill health. This thought should be dwelt upon and amplified until you have convinced your mind that illness is no part of the Divine Plan for your experience. Then you should unify your mind with the Divine Plan for your perfect health (page 7) by gratefully determining to give up the habit of thinking illness, and resolve to think the truth about yourself.

Now say: "There is but the One Perfect Eternal Life and that life is my life. Perfect health is the law of my being, and from now on it shall be my conscious experience. I know the Law accepts my word and delivers to me the conscious manifestation of health, and I think the great Spirit of Life for this fulfillment."
As you thus meditate, you are directing Mind, and setting into motion the Divine Law. Your denomination will be in the same degree as your belief. "Be Still--and know." Know that you are answered before you call, just as surely as the light will shine in your face whenever you turn your face to the light.

This is an example of going into the Silence.
