A Treatment for Alcoholism or Other Drug Addiction

There is but one Universal Life, God or Spirit.  This Universal Life is a principle of perfect harmony and right action.  It is an omnipresent and self-knowing principle, whole and complete within Itself.  It is forever calm and peaceful.  It is, therefore, a principle of complete satisfaction which knows no unsatisfied desire.  The only appetite or desire of Infinite Mind is for the complete manifestation of Its own constructive contemplation. 

My life is a part of this Universal Life; Its peace, calm and satisfaction are manifesting in and through me now in absolute perfection.  My spirit, being one with Universal Spirit, has nothing to desire or long for - save the natural expression of peace, poise and complete satisfaction.  That subjective race-thought, which speaks to me as limitation or a desire for abnormal stimulation, has no answering or recognizing voice within me.  I turn from all such inharmonious thoughts toward the reality of my oneness with Universal Life (the Father) realizing here in the formless Realm of Reality, the complete satisfaction of knowingness, the senses of calm well-being, wisdom and understanding.  Here within the Realm of Reality (the Kingdom of God) I sense the truth of my complete mastery over all things.   My body is that concept of Universal Mind which is composed of the Creator's perfect ideas (God's body).  Within the form, which is commonly termed the human body, is nothing which can speak to me, demanding anything whatsoever.  I dwell within the Realm of the Universal and declare that the calm and complete satisfaction of the Self-Knowing God is expressing in and through me, unhindered and unopposed.

I go forth with a complete sense of mastery in the realm of form (my earth experience) unafraid, happy and joyous in my expression of all that is desirable and constructive; knowing that all destructive desires and inharmonious thoughts disappear and dissolve into the nothingness from which they came, having no power to perpetuate themselves, since they are neither person, place nor thing.

I Do Know the Truth and I Am Free
