the source of all power. As long as used in line with its own inherent nature as body material, the body continues to operate with a marvelous beauty and precision. However, when any change of operation is demanded of the body beyond its simple routine of automatic or sub-conscious expression, a problem at once arises and the action of the mind must be called to the rescue or all might go to smash.

Mind is the more fluid (water) state of man’s being and therefore is much more flexible than the body. Through mental action (thought) man has developed all sorts of devices which nearly equal in cleverness those of the body itself. The mind, through the power of the imagination, has devised schemes whereby man may lift himself into the air, or he may float on the water (symbol of this state), and work many miracles in the realm of thought.

By thought, man has created his own world, some of which he likes and some of which he would like to change; but he cannot without the assistance of that other great realm of being, Spirit, which in power corresponds to the invisible yet dynamic steam. Let worry, fear, or ignorance work its havoc in the mind of man, and things again go to smash. In other words, each time that we discover ourselves blocked in one level of being, we must raise the consciousness to a higher level in order to solve the problem and continue in our expression of God.

In the realm of Spirit, where Faith, Love, Wisdom, and Power have their ultimate source, all things are possible, and by using one of these attributes of the Spirit—Faith, Jesus knew and proved that all things are possible. He also knew, however, that the degree of Faith necessary to accomplish healing in this instance could come only by prayer, or by raising the consciousness into a realm where Faith could operate. Let us not lose sight of the fact that once we have raised our consciousness to the realm of Spirit we are consciously at one with God, and therefore we are free to act upon any lower plane of existence and are in tune with the laws of the universe.

WE MAY meet seeming problems affecting the human mind on any plane of consciousness, but whatever the problem,
