You have
in a sense two minds--the mind of the
body and the mind of the spirit.
Spirit is
a force and a mystery. All we know or
may ever know of it is that it exists,
and is ever working and producing all
results in physical things seen of physical
sense and many more not so seen.
What is seen,
of any object, a tree, an animal, a stone,
a man is only a part of that tree, animal,
stone, or man. There is a force which
for a time binds such objects together
in the form you see them. That force is
always acting on them to greater or lesser
degree. It builds up the flower to its
fullest maturity. Its cessation to act
on the flower or tree causes what we call
decay. It is constantly changing the shape
of all forms of what are called organized
matter. An animal, a plant, a human being
are not in physical shape this month or
this year what they will be next month
or next year.
This ever-acting,
ever-varying force, which lies behind
and, in a sense, creates all forms of
matter we call Spirit.
To see, reason
and judge of life and things in the knowledge
of this force makes what is termed the
"Spiritual Mind."
We have through
knowledge the wonderful power of using
or directing this force, when we recognize
it, and know that it exists so as to bring
us health, happiness and eternal peace
of mind. Composed as we are of this force,
we are ever attracting more of it to us
and making it a part of our being.
With more
of this force must come more and more
knowledge. At first in our physical existances
we allow it to work blindly. Then we are
