PHYSICAL PERFECTION
By Ernest Holmes
Asthma and Hay Fever
"Many medical men believe that "nervous persons, and those whose work is largely mental, are most often attacked by hay fever, and that hay fever attacks only those who are predisposed to it." The general acceptance is that it is the result of an undue sensitiveness of the nostrils to the pollen of certain flowers or plants, or even the hairs of certain animals.
We should know that the claim of hay fever has no power over us, that we are inspired and directed by Infinite Mind, and that perfect discrimination and judgment are established in us. In treating oneself, declare that every day you are capable of expressing the greater possibilities which are your divine inheritance; that you are busy expressing good and have not time for any fear thoughts of asthma and hay fever.
Know that you alone are the door-keeper to the "Temple of the Holy Ghost," your body. You have the power to say what shall enter there. No false thing can enter there while you are recognizing your Oneness with Infinite Life. The pollen which you have thought irritated you is made from the very same Substance from which you are made. You are sending out only thoughts of peace, love and joy, and no irritating thought or thing can come back to annoy or obstruct the perfect functioning of every organ of your body. The passages of your mind are open only to the inflow and outflow of good. You are sensitive only to good, dwelling in the higher altitudes of consciousness, understanding Life in Its spiritual purpose, experiencing exhilaration, vitalization, and exaltation.
It is written that the breath of God animates creation, with the living presence of a pure divinity. What breath are we breathing other than this true breath, unrestricted, flowing through channels of pure receptivity, from the Infinite Intelligence and the perfect Life of God? Let your thought dwell, not on breath nor lack of breath, but on that which breathes. Sense the freedom of this God-Life, flowing in and through you. You did not create the Original Substance out of which your body was formed. God Himself made your body, to be used as His Self-Expression. This channel must be perfect. With good-natured flexibility, free your thought from any sense of anxiety or strain, or indecision, or deep-seated worry and concern, knowing that you have only to keep your thought steady and clear, fixed upon the potential perfection of the Universe in which we live. When you have lifted your consciousness in this manner, use this meditation:
"My entire body is now a receptive channel for the operation of God-Life. My thought is pure, relaxed and peaceful. My breathing is not obstructed (asthma) my thought is not sensitive to any discordant or disagreeable sentiment (hay fever), as Mind could not entertain a disagreeable sentiment. I breathe in the eternal Life Essence. By this breath I am purified and made strong. I am freed from the belief in anything unlike Perfection.""
