June 8 ~ The Science of Mind in a Year

Depend Upon Principle ~ Ernest Holmes

"Principle is the Power that made everything.  It is Absolute, It will not and cannot be denied.  The only thing that can deny God is yourself.

Do not think of disease as an entity, but as in impersonal thought-force.  In healing, you are separating the false from the true.  The work is definite and dynamic, and is consciously done, always with a clear purpose in mind.

If your own thought is clear, and you are able to realize the Presence of Spirit in your patient, your work will be effective.  Through the proper use of this great Subjective Law, you can impress a definite idea upon it, and if you, yourself, do not withdraw that idea, or neutralize it by an opposite one, the Law will bring it into manifestation.

What we need, then, is to learn the Law governing this Principle.  When you give a treatment, you are definitely setting a Universal Law in motion, which must not only accept what you say but the way in which you say it.  If your treatment is given with a sense of struggle, it will manifest in that way.  If it is given with a sense of peace, then it will manifest in a peaceful manner.

Remember that you need to assume no personal responsibility for the recovery of your patient, but you do have a definite obligation, which is to give the treatment...properly, clearly, fully, and conscientiously...when you have agreed to.  Back of all appearance to the contrary, it is your business to mentally see the spiritual perfection of your patient.

When you have occasion to treat yourself, call your own name, and proceed with the treatment as though you were treating someone else.  Or you may say, "I am thus and so..."

Disease will be healed, provided you get at its cause and remove it - and by getting at its cause, we mean getting at the mental cause - and provided the one for whom you are working is willing to surrender that cause.  You cannot heal anyone of his trouble, if it is the result of some mental attitude which he will not surrender.  In this case, find out what the mental attitude is and remove it, by showing the patient the right mental attitude.  It is the practitioner's duty to uncover false ideas of life, and replace them with the truth.  If this can be done before disease destroys the physical body, a healing will always follow."
