There is a thinking Stuff from which all things are made,
and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fillsthe interspaces of the universe.
A thought, in this Substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
You must lay aside all other concepts of the universethan this monistic one, and you must dwell upon this until it is fixed in your mind, and has become your ha-bitual thought. Read these creed statements over and over again; fix every word upon your memory, and meditateuponthem until you firmly believe what theysay. If a doubt comes to you, cast it aside as a sin. Do not listen to arguments against this idea; do not go to churches or lectures where a contrary concept of things is taught or preached. Do not read magazinesor books
