MEDITATIONS

By Ernest Holmes

I Accept the Fullness of My Own Divine Well-Being

Within myself is that which is perfect, that which is complete, that which is divine; that which was never born and cannot die; that which lives, which is God – the Eternal Reality.  Within myself is peace, poise, power, wholeness and happiness.  All the power that there is and all the presence that there is, and all the life that there is, is God – the Living Spirit Almighty – and this Divine and Living Spirit is within me.  It is Wholeness.  It is never weary.  It is never tired.  It is Life.  It is complete Peace.  It is never afraid; It is never confused.  It is always poised and peaceful.  It is always in a state of perfect equilibrium.

This is the truth about myself; there is no other self.  Every image of fear is erased from my mind, every sense of confusion leaves my thought.  My mind now entertains and reflects the Divine into everything which I do, say and think – into my body, into my affairs.  That divine within me is Wholeness, and my mind reflects this Wholeness into every organ, every function, every action, every reaction of my physical being, renewing it after the Perfect Pattern – the Christ within me.  Universal Substance reflects Itself, into my mind, into daily supply, so that everything I need each day is supplied.  Before the need, is the thing, and with the apparent need is met.  There is Something within me which goes before me and prepares the way wherever I go – making straight the way, making perfect the way, making immediate and instant, and permanent and harmonious, every situation.  Consequently, my mind reflects the fullness of that Divine Substance, which heals every sense of lack in my life.  Peace, poise, power, perfection, Living Spirit within me, is me, myself.

Repeating Treatments ~ Ernest Holmes

"A treatment is a specific thing.  When you are treating to neutralize any particular form of disease, your word should be spoken in such a way as to neutralize a belief in the necessity of the condition.  Each treatment must have in itself everything necessary to cover the case.  When you treat, resolve things into thought -- bodies, people, objects and all things - everything is a thing of thought.  Having resolved everything into thought, know that disease is neither person, place, nor thing.  It has no location, does not belong to anyone, cannot operate through anyone.  Know that it is a false image, with no power, and then you are ready to mentally dissolve it.

Always come to a complete conclusion when giving a treatment.  Always feel that it is done, complete and perfect and give thanks for the answer, as if it were already objectified.  In the interval between treatments, do not carry the thought of the patient around with you.  Tod do so is to doubt, and this mental attitude must be completely overcome.  Each treatment should be a complete statement of the Reality of Being.  The treatment should be repeated daily until a healing takes place.  If it takes five minutes, five hours, five days, or five years, the treatment must be kept up until a healing is accomplished.  This is the only method we know.  It is not enough to say that everything is all right.  This is true in Principle, but in fact and in human experience, it is only as true as we make it.  Treat until you get results.  A healing takes place when the patient is no longer sick, and until such time, mental work should be done."
