but since mind is all, since this material is
subject to the spiritual, since matter is subject to mind, I believe and
affirm that my health does not depend upon matter but upon the God
Spirit within me. It depends not upon the material but the spiritual,
upon the God mind within.
Just as wood when made into a violin and properly tuned, will give
forth harmony, so my body, though made in the material, when
properly tuned by mind will give forth harmonious living, perfect
health.
As the tree standing in the forest may be made into the violin music
box of harmony, so my body, the material in the forest of matter, may
be put in tune, become harmonious and be raised to perfection by the
Master Musician, God--His mind within me.
God is all health. No one could conceive of God as being sick. I can
visualize only the eternal spirit of the Infinite Father. Perfection
existing in everything and I being a child in Spirit, am well, whole and
complete in Spirit. My real "I am" is well.
Science now asserts that matter is composed of twelve octaves, just as
in music. My body is the composite of these twelve octaves. Science
also says that every cell atom, every electron in my body is intelligent.

This spirit of mine is housed in the Tabernacle of the body which is
composed of millions and millions of cells, all of which having
intelligence respond in my body according to the way I think. Every
word I entertain, every thought I hold, influences everyone of the
millions of cells making up this Tabernacle.
My body is made whole and complete physically. That is, all the cells
of my body are made over new every eleven months. The body I have
today is not the body I had eleven months ago. I get a new body every
eleven months and my body is today what my thinking was yesterday,
the day before that and the months before that. My body in the future
depends upon my thinking in the future. I am what I think I am.
When I affirm that I am well, whole and complete; that I am perfect,
harmonious and strong, I am suggesting to every atom in my body
perfection and every atom in turn begins to make my body over, new in
health and and in perfection.
I may or I may not have to wait for the element of time to make over
every cell. That may be done spontaneously and instantly. There is no
limitation to the power of God so I shall not set a time limit for my
healing, knowing that all things are possible with the Father. I affirm
that now I have that which I desire. I know that now the Spirit of divine
health is surging through me, touching and reaching every atom of my
body and that now the God Spirit within me is perfect and that Spirit
makes my body perfect.
"Man is a Spiritual Being. Man expresses himself mentally and
manifests himself physically. The One Life animates all that exists.
Harmony of existence depends upon the polarities of the three aspects
of life. The mind is at ease when open to the inflow of the Spirit. It is
discordant when it follows sensory impressions. The body is healthy
when responsive to the direction of the spiritualized mind. It becomes
diseased when it accepts the physical as its guide. One achieves mental
ease and physical health through his mental polarity. If open to the
physical and closed to the spiritual, discord will prevail. If open to the
spiritual and closed to the physical, he lives the One Life, in mental
ease and physical health. I open my mind to the inflow of the Spirit. I

place my body under the control of my spiritualized mind. I feel the
One Life animate my mind and my body. I AM a Spiritual Being. I AM
Perfect Health!"

Miscellaneous Silence[3]
THOUGHT TO HOLD IN THE SILENCE FOR ABUNDANCE
(See also Abundance, page 23)
"The Universal Abundant Spirit Supplies All My Needs."
There is no want or limitation in the law. If, perchance, there should
appear to be lack of, or need of, abundance in our lives, it is because of
wrong thinking--not because there is a lack of abundance. Therefore,
we should enter the Silence with the profound faith and conviction that
the world is filled with plenty, and that all our needs are most
bountifully supplied.
The mind should be saturated with the conviction that all life is filled
with abundance--all space is overflowing with abundance--all living
comes from an abundant source of supply.
In a Universe where this is true, there can be
