The Greeks said: "Know Thyself. There are three departments of the mind, the subconscious, conscious and superconscious. The subconscious, is simply power, without direction. It is like steam or electricity, and it does what it is directed to do; it has no power of induction. Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutest detail. For example: a woman I know, when a child, always "made believe" she was a widow.

She "dressed up" in black clothes and wore a long black veil, and people thought she was very clever and amusing. She grew up and married a man with whom she was deeply in love. In a short time he died and she wore black and a sweeping veil for many years. The picture of herself as a widow was impressed upon the subconscious mind, and in due time worked itself out, regardless of the havoc created. It is the human mind and sees life as it appears to be.

It sees death, disaster, sickness, poverty and limitation of every kind, and it impresses the subconscious. The superconscious mind is the God Mind within each man, and is the realm of perfect ideas.

In it, is the " perfect pattern " spoken of by Plato, The Divine Design; for there is a Divine Design for each person. There is a perfect picture of this in the super-conscious mind. In reality it is man's true destiny or destination flashed to him from the Infinite Intelligence which is within himself. Many people, however, are in ignorance of their true destinies and are striving for things and situations which do not belong to them, and would only bring failure and dissatisfaction if attained.

For example: A woman came to me and asked me to "speak the word" that she would marry a certain man with whom she was very much in love. She called him A. The divine pattern means that you should always ask for the right circumstances in your life, and not something specific since what you have in mind might not be the right thing that will make you happy. Along these lines works the law of substitution as well.

Many of us are not aware of what really makes us happy and satisfied, and thus do not know our true desires. The law of karma means that whatever we emanate and give to the world, that is what we will receive. That is why this law is also called the law of cause and effect. So, make sure you radiate positive energy, and you will get positive results as a return.

The law of non-resistance complements the law of karma. You should not focus on negativity and should not let negative events affect you and your feelings. The power of words is immense. Be careful how you express yourself and avoid using negative words, since they have a huge manifesting power. The law of forgiveness is one of the higher laws than the one we talked so far.

Christianity , for example, is based on this law, instead of the law of karma, which means that people can redeem themselves, and save themselves from all unwanted conditions. The law of love is one of the most powerful laws that exist.

Everyone is created out of love and should live like that as well. She was about to make a call on some people whom she had never met and she did not wish to make her first appearance with a dilapidated umbrella. She could not throw it away, as it did not belong to her. So in desperation, she exclaimed: "Oh God, you take charge of this umbrella, I don't know what to do.

There stood an umbrella mender. S he replied, "Indeed, I do. So there is always an umbrella mender at hand, on man's pathway, when one puts the umbrealla or situation in God's Hands. O ne should always follow a denial with an affirmation.

F or example: I was called on the 'phone late one night to treat a man whom I had never seen. He was apparently very ill. I made the statement: "I deny this appearance of disease. It is unreal, therefore cannot register in his consciousness; this man is a perfect idea in Divine Mind, pure substance expressing perfection. I am asked so often the difference between visualizing and visioning. Visualizing is a mental process governed by the reasoning or conscious mind; visioning is a spiritual process, governed by intuition, or the superconscious mind.

The student should train his mind to receive these flashes of inspiration, and work out the "divine pictures," through definite leads. When a man can say, "I desire only that which God desires for me," his new set of blueprints is given him by the Master Architect, the God within. God's plan for each man transcends the limitation of the reasoning mind, and is always the square of life, containing health, wealth, love and perfect self-expression.

Many a man is building for himself in imagination a bungalow when he should be building a palace. I f a student tries to force a demonstration through the reasoning mind he brings it to a standstill. He should act only through intuition, or definite leads. Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass. For example: A student stated that it was necessary for her to have a hundred dollars for the following day.

It was a debt of vital importance which had to be met. I "spoke the word," declaring Spirit was "never too late" and that the supply was at hand. T hat evening she phoned me of the miracle.
