Q

Law of Correspondence

A

Works from the belief to the thing. The demonstration we make corresponds with our ability to provide a mental equivalent of our desire.

28
Q

Insanity

A

A temporary or permanent control of the conscious mind by the unconscious or subjective. We are all insane in such degree as we entertain wrong conclusions about life. Broader, a temporary or permanent loss of the objective faculties. The real mind cannot be deranged; a complete mental treatment for insanity is to know there is but One Mind, now functioning, perfectly.

29
Q

Intellect

A

Mental quality of analysis. That part of the mentality concerned with the acquisition and retention of knowledge as distinguished from the emotions and the will. When we combine thought with feeling, intellect with emotion, and add to this a recognition of the Father within, we have a power which is irresistible.

30
Q

Intuition

A

God in man, revealing to him the realities of Being.

31
Q

Demonstration

A

Spiritual demonstration is manifestation of Reality. We can demonstrate only at our ability to know. Treatment which leads to the demonstration is not for the purpose of making something happen, but is to provide an avenue, within ourselves, through which things may happen.

32
Q

Disease

A

An impersonal thought force operating through people which does not belong to them at all. While in every case disease is an effect and must first have a subjective cause, nine times out of ten it is not conscious in the thought of the person who has it. Man if [is?] fundamentally perfect. Our whole premise is Perfect God, Perfect Man, Perfect Being.

33
Q

Divine Ideal

A

Divine Ideas are the ideas of God. The Divine Ideal is the perfect image held forever in the Mind of God; the Perfect Body/Spiritual Body is the fulfillment of the Divine Ideal and the Real Man we hope to manifest. The pattern by which we try to bring out perfection in our lives.

34
Q

Ego

A

The I Am of the Bible, the Christ, the perfect idea of God. In metaphysical terms, the Real Consciousness of man. In psychology, an organization or system of mental states.

35
Q

Evil

A

That which seems destructive. An experience of the soul on its journey toward the realization of Reality. A problem as long as we believe in it. Of itself, it is neither person, place nor thing, and will disappear in exact proportion that we cease using destructive methods. Exactly as long as we make mistakes shall we be automatically “punished.”

36
Q

Evolution

A

Passing of Spirit into form. The logical result of the outpush of Life into self-expression. Coming forth of Spirit into manifestation. Unfoldment of First Cause. Since the idea is still in an unfolding state, it appears as though we live in an imperfect universe. The time and process through which an idea unfolds into a higher state of manifestation; will go on forever. Concept group: Involution, Evolution

37
Q

Involution

A

Invoking the Law, setting the Law in motion. Treatment.
Relationship: Involution precedes evolution, and evolution follows involution, with mathematical certainty. Involution is the creation of the concept. Evolution is the time or process it takes for the concept to become manifest. Involution is a conscious act. Evolution is purely mechanical.
Concept group: Involution, Evolution

38
Q

Judgment

A

“Judge not that ye be not judged, for with what judgment ye hudge, he shall be judged.” Merely the law of cause and effect operating. We are judged by our own acts. “Karma is the law that binds the ignorant and frees the wise.” – Annie Besant. Concept group: Judgment, Karma

39
Q

Karma

A

The subjective law of tendency set in motion by the individual. The mental law acting through him, the use man makes of his mentality. Both individual and collective. Not inevitable retribution. At any time we can change our thinking and set in motion new creative thoughts into the Law.

40
Q

Emotion

A

Mental energy set in motion through feeling. Consciousness attendant upon other forms of consciousness (as perception or ideation) to which it gives their feeling tone. Emotion uncontrolled produces chaos; unexpressed it produces confusion, conflict, and complexes, for energy will have an outlet.

41
Q

Form

A

Any definite outline in time and space, visible or invisible. The result of a definite idea. Real as form, but not self-conscious; subjective to the power that created it. Temporary. It is necessary that Spirit should manifest in some kind of form, in order that It may come into Self-expression through Self-realization. Unconscious Form, or Mirror of Matter, means that the material world reflects the forms of thought which the Soul holds before it. Form, or matter, has no volition and is not creative.

42
Q

Freedom

A

Man is created in the image of perfection and let alone and allowed to make the discovery for himself. Freedom of will means the ability to do, say and think as one wishes; to express life as one personally desires. The understanding of Truth—Infinite Principle—is the emancipator (ye shall know the truth). WE ARE BOUND BY OUR VERY FREEDOM; OUR FREE WILL BINDS US. THE UNIVERSE, BEING DEDUCTIVE ONLY, CANNOT REFUSE US ANYTHING.
Limitation is not a thing, not an entity, but a belief. Freedom is a Divine Reality.

43
Q

God

A

The First Cause, the Great I Am, the Unborn One, the Uncreated, the Absolute or Unconditioned, the One and Only, Spirit, Creative Energy, Love, Wisdom, Intelligence, Power, Substance, Mind, Great Actor. The Truth which is real, the Principle which is dependable.
Concept group: God – God Consciousness – I Am

44
Q

God consciousness

A

Man’s self-knowing mind is his Unity with the Whole, his perception of Reality. This Unity with God, on the conscious side of life, is the guarantee that man is a center of God-Consciousness, that he is some part of the Consciousness of God. Concept group: God – God Consciousness – I Am

45
Q

I Am

A

The “I Am” is both individual and universal. The individual “I” is part of the Universal “I Am.” The “I am consciousness” means that part of thought, both conscious and subjective, which not only affirms its unity with God, but which also understands the meaning of its affirmation. Concept group: God – God Consciousness – I Am

46
Q

Grace

A

Grace is the givingness of Spirit to Its Creation and is not a special law, but a specialized one. Grace is, but we need to recognize it. It is the logical result of the correct acceptance of life and of a correct relationships to the Spirit. We are saved by Grace to the extent that we believe in, accept, and work to embody, the Law of Good, for the Law of Good is ever a Law of Liberty.

47
Q

Memory

A

The subjective retention of ideas. Thoughts today dropped by our conscious mind into subjective mind, tomorrow become memory. The soul, or subjective mind, is the seat of memory, and retained within itself everything the individual has ever said, thought, seen, heard, felt, read, or been told, everything that has happened to him. Also contains race memory. Concept Group: Memory – Habit

48
Q

Habit

A

Any act which has become a part of the subconscious mentality. Formed by first consciously thinking, then unconsciously acting. What one thinks today will tomorrow be part of his memory; and since memory is active, what he thinks today as a conscious thought will tomorrow be a submerged but active thought – habit. Concept Group: Memory – Habit

49
Q

Healing

A

Mental healing means Mind healing. To make whole. To heal men’s mentalities, knowing that the bodies shall also be healed. Belief in duality has made man sick and the understanding of Unity will heal him. The substitution of Truth for sense-testimony, restoring man to a condition of wholeness.
MENTAL TREATMENT IS A DIRECT STATEMENT IN MIND OF WHAT WE WISH TO HAVE DONE AND A REALIZATION THAT IT IS DONE.
Concept Group: Healing, Treatment

50
Q

Treatment

A

The art, the act, and the science of consciously inducing thought within the Universal Subjectivity, for the purpose of demonstrating that we are surrounded by a Creative Medium which responds to us through a law of correspondence.
The time, process, and method necessary to the changing of our thought.
Clearing the thought of negation, of doubt and fear, and causing it to perceive the ever-presence of God.
Concept Group: Healing, Treatment

51
Q

Heaven

A

A state of happiness. Heaven is within; it revolves about us; the result of that atmosphere of conviction which our thought awakens within us. The Kingdom of Heaven is unformed, unlimited, unconditioned. It is eternal Reality. A good Place in which to live, if we abide in the Father and He in us.
Concept Group: Heaven, Hell, Kingdom

52
Q

Hell

A

A discordant state of being. A belief in duality. A sense of separation from God. A belief that our good is always TO BE, and never is.
Concept Group: Heaven, Hell, Kingdom

53
Q

Kingdom

A

Within our deepest thought.
The Reality of our individual awareness, the Reality of Universal Mind. Recognition of our Oneness with the Divine.
Concept Group: Heaven, Hell, Kingdom

54
Q

The Christ

A

The Word of God manifest in and through man. In a liberal sense, the Entire Manifestation of God, thus the Second Person of the Trinity. Christ is Universal Idea, and each one “puts on the Christ” to the degree that he surrenders a limited sense of Life to the Divine Realization of wholeness and unity with Good, Spirit, God.
Concept Group: The Christ – Christ Within – Holy Ghost

55
Q

Christ Within

A

The idea of Sonship, the Perfect Man as He must be held in the Mind of God.
Concept Group: The Christ – Christ Within – Holy Ghost

56
Q

Holy Ghost

A

The third Person of the Trinity. The Servant of the Spirit. Used in the sense of the World—Soul or Universal Subjectivity.
Concept Group: The Christ – Christ Within – Holy Ghost

57
Q

Idea

A

A mental concept. Any object of the mind existing in apprehension (?), conception, or thought. The Ideas of God are the Divine Realizations of His Own Being. The real Ideas are eternal. No two ideas are alike, so no two things/realizations are alike.
Concept Group: Idea – Image – Prototype

58
Q

Image

A

The mental likeness of anything. The soul or subjective mind contains all of our thoughts as mental images or pictures.
Concept Group: Idea – Image – Prototype

59
Q

Prototype

A

The original idea of any form.

Concept Group: Idea – Image – Prototype

60
Q

Imagination

A

Imagination is superior to will. Will is an assumption, pure and simple; we do not will to live, but live because we have life and cannot help living. We did not make Life and we cannot change It, but we can use It, and the use of Life is through the imagination. It carries feeling and conviction, i.e., life and action. Will power may be necessary as a directive agency, but as a creative agency it is non-existent. To feel that we have to will something to happen casts doubt into the face of Creation, and presupposes that Life is not Self-Existent and Self-Propelling.
Concept Group: Imagination – Will

61
Q

Will

A

Decision coming into executive. To determine by an act of choice. Volition, choice and will must be attributes of Spirit—they mean practically the same thing. Do not thing of them, though, in terms of human or limited thought. That which Spirit chooses, it simply announces. Spirit does not have to will to make things happen; things happen because it is the will of Spirit that they should be.
Concept Group: Imagination – Will

62
Q

Life

A

The animating Principle of Being . . . that Inner Something that makes everything live. Life and Power are necessary attributes of a Limitless Being, and go hand in hand to complete a Perfect Being. Life is That Which Lives, and Power is the Energy with which It operates. In the objective world, Life is the Power that binds everything together. It appears to manifest at different levels—mineral (unconscious), plant (without volition to move), animal (increasing power to move), man (Volition and Self-Will, Self-Consciousness). Unconscious State, Simple Consciousness, Self-Consciousness, and Cosmic Consciousness.

63
Q

Knowledge

A

That which will bear the test in the light of Truth. Conscious awareness of the indwelling Father, the certainty that God abides at the center of our being, as perfect health, complete joy, power, wisdom, and goodness. Metaphysically, we can only know that which is true. If we believe that which is false, it may seem to operate as truth, because it is done unto us as we believe. Concept Group:
Knowledge – Belief – Faith

64
Q

Belief

A

Conviction or feeling of the truth of a proposition or condition. It may go no farther than intellectual assent; faith embodies a trust and confidence.
Concept Group:
Knowledge – Belief – Faith

65
Q

Faith

A

Spiritual conviction. A mental attitude so inwardly embodied that the mind can no longer deny it. Complete when both conscious and subjective acceptance. May be consciously generated. A belief in the presence of a n invisible principle and law which directly and specifically responds to us.
Concept Group:
Knowledge – Belief – Faith

66
Q

Law

A

Mind in action. The Creative Medium of Spirit is the great Mental Law of the Universe, the Law of the Spirit. The Universal Law of Mind. The Laws of Mind and Spirit must be understood if they are to be consciously used for definite purposes. There is no limit to the Law, but there appears to be a limit to man’s understanding of it. The thing that makes us sick is the thing which heals us. We need not look for a law of sickness and a law of health. The Law is a blind force.

67
Q

Unconscious Mind

A

The law of conscious Mind acting, therefore subjective or subconscious.
Concept Group: Mind, Unconscious Mind, Thought, Unconscious Thought, One Mind, Our Mind, Conscious Mind, Creative Mind
