LAW OF BELIEF
Question—How can one believe he has already received when all conditions contradict this belief?
ANSWER—He cannot unless he first realizes that he is dealing with a law which takes his belief and produces a corresponding result.
LAW AN IMPERSONAL FORCE Question—Is the Law of Mind an impersonal force?
ANSWER—In THE SCIENCE OF MIND, it is written: "Like all law, the Law of Mind is an Impersonal Force, and because of Its nature, is compelled to act."
The Law of Mind is impersonal yet everyone may consciously set It into activity to very definite and personal ends. One who realizes that his word is the mold which marks the form of his creation, who knows that the Law acts automatically upon this Word, will speak or think only such words or thoughts as he Would wish to see manifested. All mental and spiritual healers know how to use the Law of Mind to help themselves and others. They consciously direct their mental stream toward the desire they entertain, and know that it is a finished and perfect thing even as they think it. If they are speaking the healing word for some seeker after health, the realization of health which they hold for that person is acted out in the experience of the person by the Law of Mind. It has performed a very personal service, yet It is equally at the service and call of everyone.
SUBCONSCIOUS AND SUBJECTIVE
Question—What is the distinction between Subconscious and Subjective mind in metaphysical terminology?
ANSWER—There is no distinction. Each term means soul, or the receiving, automatic side of life. Subjective or subconscious (page 15) mind receives the idea from Spirit, or the impress of our own thought, as a mold, and gives back to us the created thing, condition or circumstance which was formed by the mold. Subjective Mind is without the power of choice—it knows only to obey. It is not self-knowing. It is the Universal Medium and the Law by which all creation is produced.
