There
is a Thinking Substance from which all things are made, and which, in
its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the inter spaces of
the universe. It is the life of All. The thought of a form in this
substance causes the form; the thought of a motion produces the motion.
In relation to man, the thoughts of this Substance are always of
perfect functioning and perfect health.
Man
is a thinking center, capable of original thought; and his thought has
power over his own functioning. By thinking imperfect thoughts he has
caused imperfect and perverted functioning; and by performing the
voluntary functions of life in a perverted manner, he has assisted in
causing disease.
If
man will think only thoughts of perfect health, he can cause within
himself the functioning of perfect health; and the Power of Life will
be exerted to assist him. But this healthy functioning will not
continue unless man performs the external, or voluntary, functions of
living in a healthy manner.
Man's
first step must be to learn how to think perfect health; and his second
step to learn how to eat, drink, breathe, and sleep in a perfectly
healthy way. If man takes these two steps, he will certainly become
well, and remain so.
