Suppose you learned that your mother was sick in New
York City and you lived in Los Angeles. Your mother would not be physically present where you are, b
her. It is the Father within which doeth the work.
you could pray for
The creative law of mind (subconscious mind) serves you
and will do the work. Its response to you is automatic. Your
treatment is for the purpose of inducing an inner realization
of health and harmony in your mentality.
This inner realization, acting through the subconscious
mind, operates through your mother’s subconscious mind as
there is but one creative mind. Your thoughts of health, vitality,
and perfection operate through the one universal subjective
mind, and set a law in motion on the subjective side of life,
which manifests through her body as a healing,
In the mind principle there is no time or space. It is the
same mind that operates through your mother no matter where
be. In reality there is no absent treatment as opposed
she may
to present treatment for the universal mind is omnipresent.
You do not try to send out thoughts or hold a thought. Your
treatment is a conscious movement of thought, and as you
become conscious of the qualities of health, well-being, and
relaxation, these qualities will be resurrected in the experience
of your mother, and results will follow.
The following is a perfect example of what is called absent
treatment. Recently, a listener of our radio program in Los
Angeles prayed as follows for her mother in New York who
had a coronary thrombosis: “The healing presence is right
where my mother is. Her bodily condition is but a reflection
of her thought-life, like shadows cast on the screen. I know
that in order to change the images on the screen I must change
the projection reel. My mind is the projection reel, and I now
project in my own mind the image of wholeness, harmony, and
perfect health for my mother. The infinite healing presence,
which created my mother’s body and all her organs, is now saturating every atom of her being, and a river of
through every cell of her body. The doctors are
and directed, and whoever touches my mother is guided
the right thing. I know that disease has no ultimate reality; if
it had, no one could be healed, I now align myself with the
infinite principle of love and life, and I know and decree that
harmony, health, and peace are now being expressed in
mother’s body.”
She prayed in the above manner several times daily, and
her mother had a most remarkable recovery after a few days,
much to the amazement of her specialist. He complimented
her on her great faith in the power of God.
The conclusion, arrived at in the daughter’s mind, set the
creative law of mind in motion on the subjective side of life,
which manifested itself through her mother’s body as perfect
health and harmony. What the daughter felt as true about her
mother was simultaneously resurrected in the experience of
her mother.
