SEPARATING BELIEF FROM BELIEVER
Question—How does one separate the belief from the believer?

ANSWER—He endeavors to understand what the belief is, either through his intuitive perception, through what the patient tells him, or through his observation of the physical circumstances surrounding his patient. Whatever is of a negative, destructive or unhappy nature he declares to be neither person, place, nor thing, therefore, it cannot operate in, around or through his patient. First he turns the condition into a thought, then he separates the thought from the one thinking it.

ARE PRIMITIVE PEOPLE SPIRITUAL?
Question—Is there a beneficent law for the primitive races whose spiritual faculties are not developed and who can only function in the material aura of physical life?

ANSWER—There is one law common to all people and all races, and each according to his light is consciously or unconsciously using this law. Evolution is the result of the unfoldment of consciousness, and the law is always reacting to us at the level of our recognition of life. There is a tendency or an (page 21) urge behind all things for expression. Through experience we learn to provide a larger outlet for this urge and thus both developed and undeveloped people continually progress with a limitless possibility ever before them. The law is always beneficent.
