PREFACE

These are not simply lectures, but lessons to be applied just as one applies mathematical rules—they are not meant to be merely read, but studied. When a suggestion is made to "hold a thought," or to affirm or deny a certain proposition original: "proposition"; here meaning a statement or spiritual principle, the student should stop reading and, both out loud and mentally, do as they are told. This will create new thought-currents in the mind and body, making way for the spiritual illumination original: "illumination"; refers to a state of sudden spiritual understanding or "enlightenment" which will follow for all who are faithful.

The statements following each lesson should be used for mental discipline. Write these statements down and apply them daily while studying the lesson to which they correspond. Anyone can perform mind healing original: "mind healing"; the practice of using focused thought and prayer to affect physical health if they use the simple rules of denials and affirmations set forth here.

If you wish to heal another person, keep them in your mind and mentally repeat the denials the act of stating that a negative condition has no ultimate power and affirmations the act of asserting a positive spiritual truth. This will raise your consciousness to Spiritual Reality, which is where all healing power begins. If you wish to heal yourself, speak to your own mind and body just as you would talk to a patient.
