INTUITIVE REALIZATION
Question—Is there such a thing as instantaneous intuitive realization?

ANSWER—Yes, there is. While most of our perceptions come gradually, there is such an experience as a quick flash of consciousness which realizes and accepts a universal truth without any process of reasoning. Many of our greatest truths have come to us in this manner.

EFFECT OF DOUBTS
Question—I am reading and studying and, I think, growing, but get fogged and panicky occasionally when I look at conditions. I know I should not do this. Do we all doubt and become worried sometimes when the good that we know is ours does not become manifested in our affairs? And do we then spoil all our work?

ANSWER—There is no one who does not become discouraged at times and at such moments the best thing to do is to divert the attention of the mind to some other interest. Believe these periods of discouragement are but temporary, that they have no real law to sustain them and you will find that they gradually disappear as the mind becomes more and more certain of its alliance with pure Spirit. While it is true that all thoughts have power to manifest, it is also true that light has the power to dispel the darkness and one true thought dispels innumerable untrue ones. Do not be afraid of the negative outcome of your thought but dwell more on the positive side. (page 42)
