A young man, who came to my lectures on the healing
power of the subconscious mind, had severe eye trouble which
his doctor said necessitated an operation. He said to himself,
“My subconscious made my eyes, and it can heal me.” Each night, as he went to sleep, he entered into a drowsy,
doctor. He imagined meditative state, the condition akin to sleep. His attention was immobilized and focused on the
the doctor was in front of him, and he plainly heard, or
imagined he heard, the doctor saying to him, “A miracle has
happened!” He heard this over and over again every night
for perhaps five minutes or so before going to sleep. At the
end of three weeks he again went to the ophthalmologist
who had previously examined his eyes, and the physician
said to this man, “This is a miracle!” What happened? This
man impressed his subconscious mind using the doctor as an
instrument or a means of convincing it or conveying the idea.
Through repetition, faith, and expectancy he impregnated his
subconscious mind. His subconscious mind made his eye;
within it was the perfect pattern, and immediately it proceeded
to heal the eye. This is another example of how faith in the
whole.
