 THE APPLICATION OF POWER 
 
 A HEALING FORMULA. 
 ~ Sow ern — 
 
 When a man knows what he is he can never be de- 
 linquent to the trust. reposed in him. 
 
 He is the interpreter of God to the visible universe. 
 When he knows this he will have nothing to fear; he 
 will then express his most secret hope—proclaiming it 
 jubilantly, regardless of what scoffers say or think. 
 
 He will know that that which makes the scoffer is 
 ignorance of his own power; the not seeing within him- 
 self the great fact that he too is one with God; the 
 mind that translates or makes God visible and audible 
 in the universe of effects. 3

 ible Good, knows thi he hes neHnIng to fe

 For man is objective God, and God is subjective 
 man, and the two are one. 
 
 Just as God is the universal All, so nature—focus- 
 ing in man—is the universal expression of that All. 
 _. God is the soul of the universe, and man is the show- 
 ing forth of the Soul. And the two are one. | 
 
 Then what right has a man toshrink and cower and 
 call himself belittling names? What right has he to 
 grovel in the dust and beg mercy of that invisible part 
 of himself which in reality is his true self, and which, 
 being God—the everlasting Good—is incapable of sin 
 or decay? Roh 
 
 He has no right to do it, and would not but for his 
 ignorance of the true situation.. He might as well call 
 God sinful and diseased as to call himself so; for he and 
 God are one. They are the internal and the external of 
 the One Life; the impersonal and personal expression 
 “of it. | 
 
 There is but One Life; and a man is as much of 
 ‘this One Life-as he recognizes or believes in. 
 
 The more a man recognizes of this One Life, and 
 ‘the more he believes it, the more HE Is IT. 
 
 The more he recognizes and becomes it, the more 
 he ceases to believe those old falsities called sin, sickness 
 
 and death and the more closely he approaches that con- 
 dition foretold in scripture, wherein he should have

 onquered the last enemy and made himself master of 
 all things. | : 
 All conquest is through the understanding of truth. 
 There is nothing the matter with us, and never has 
 been, but our ignorance. Therefore we have nothing to 
 overcome BUT our ignorance, and we can only conquer 
 
 it by learning the truth with regard to ourselves and 
 
 our relation to the source of all life—God or Good. 
 
 There is but one absolute truth; and that truth is_ 
 this—All is God, or Good or Law. 
 
 And what is man? Man is the showing forth of 
 God as light is the showing forth of heat. 
 
 Is God diseased and sinful? Surely not. How then 
 
 - can man show forth disease and sin? 
 
 He cannot do so; he can show forth his own BELIEF 
 in disease and sin, but he cannot show forth REAL dis- 
 ease. and sin, because they do not exist. 3 
 
 “As a man believes, so is he.” His beliefs consti. 
 tute his personality ;.a man shows forth his beliefs; and 
 he may show forth mistaken beliefs as well as true ones, 
 and he does show forth his own mistakes whenever he 
 shows forth disease or sin. In believing himself dis- 
 
 - eased and sinful he does not show forth God—the 
 
 one Life; he conceals rather than ‘reveals Life; the 
 living fire within him shines as through a smoked 
 glass; its glorious warmth is shut out from. sight: 
 
4 ‘THE APPLICATION OF POWER. 
 
 but it burns there always, and always awaits his rec- 
 ognition. God (Life) is patient. 
 
 And indeed God could not be otherwise, being the 
 Eternal Life Principle; the same to-day, yesterday and 
 forever; the spirit in every manifestation of life, and 
 the real and true life of all lives. 
 
 This statement brings me from a contemplation 
 of man’s personality—that is made up of his beliefs, 
 most of which are mistakes—to the REAL man. By 
 the real man [ mean the spirit within his mistaken | 
 personality. This spirit is of God, it is God drawn to 
 organization and expressed in individuals. And it is 
 the REAL, the true, the vital man that no beliefs in sin, 
 sickness and death have ever touched or ever can 
 touch. | | 
 
 I will not stop here to tell how this spirit of man 
 has aggregated its force and strengthened its individu- 
 ality through many ages until now when it stands 
 forth as a factor of tremendous power; and yet a factor 
 whose power is comparatively unknown and therefore 
 unbelieved in. | 
 
 Now this spirit of God within us is God made visible 
 and audible through us. Think of this tremendous 
 fact and then try for a moment to get a comprehen- 
 sion of the power with which the statement invests 
 you. Should you obtain even the feeblest glimpse of 
 
THE APPLICATION OF POWER. 5 
 
 your own strength, through a partial realization of the 
 truth, you can never consent to be called a worm of the 
 dust again. | 
 
 Now let us try to find this spirit of God within our- 
 selves. Let us dive down within ourselves, below the 
 mistaken beliefs that constitute our external personal- 
 ities, and see what an hour of intense introspection 
 will bring us. 
 
 In turning my thoughts within | am met by an up- 
 rising force that seems like some form of will power. 
 
 The more I contemplate it the stronger it seems. [ 
 feel it to be the prompter and motive power of all my 
 actions. It seems to me to be altogether invincible 
 and unconquerable. It is perfectly fearless; it is re- 
 poseful; it gives me a feeling of high passivity; not the 
 passivity of unawakened innocence, but the noble qui- 
 escence of the conqueror. And present] y—as I still look 
 —this spirit of God or Good within me ceases to be 
 a visionary thing as it had been at first, and takes on 
 the character of substance. Gradually this substance 
 becomes so substantial, so intensely real, that all those 
 diseased beliefs which before had seemed realities, 
 fade like shadows and leave this dauntless and death- 
 less spirit a monument of splendid strength; and I 
 know that it is myself stripped of my mistaken ideas 
 concerning myself;and oh! the power that I feel! It is 
 
6 THE APPLICATION OF POWER. 
 
 indescribable; it is the declaration of the power of God 
 
 through the individual. But—more than this—it is 
 
 the INDIVIDUAL RECOGNITION of this mighty power with- 
 
 out which God’s declaration 3 it would have availed 
 nothing. — 
 
 we you not perceive from this how man is God's 
 necessity ? 
 
 Do you not still farther perceive how essential it is 
 that you should claim this Great Life as your own in 
 order to manifest it properly ? 
 
 Nay more; there is only one heresy possible to man: 
 it is the denial by the man of this infinite God or Good 
 IN HIS OWN PERSONALITY. 
 
 Being as God is Allin All it is impossible for man 
 to be anything else but God. The curse that rests upon 
 him is in his not knowing this. He is ignorant of his 
 
 great worth and power;$he has woven for himself a 
 
 FALSE personality out of his mistaken beliefs which con- 
 ceal him from sight, as foul rags in the fairy tale are 
 made to conceal the princess. 
 
 Weare all princes and princesses and do not know it; 
 children of the King; weakly and ignorantly denying 
 our divine parentage. | 
 
 And now I will tell you why the Mental Scientist 
 ean heal, and how he does it. 
 
 He has learned that the surface mau—the weak creat- 
 
THE APPLICATION OF POWER. 7 
 
 wre Man BELIEVES himself to be—is not the real man 
 at all; not the true God man that was said to have 
 been made in the image of his maker, but a poor mis- 
 taken substitute of this great creature supposed to have 
 fallen from his divine source and fountain head, and 
 to be divorced from its living influx, and taking the 
 consequence of this separation in sickness and death. 
 
 The Mental Scientist has found that it is impossible 
 for man to divorce himself from God, because God is 
 All in All, and man can find no place to take himself 
 outside of God. Therefore he only MAKES A MISTAKE 
 in believing himself divoreed from God; but his mis- 
 take is his belief, and he lives—so far as his external 
 personality goes—just exactly the belief he holds. “As 
 a man believes, so is he.” This was spoken of man’s 
 external personality, and not of his true individuality 
 which is God in expression. | 
 
 The great, positive spirit [ have found within my- 
 self, and that all people will find for themselves by 
 looking, is the God in man; the real, true man that 
 the healer sees. Yes, and he sees this true God man to 
 the entire exclusion of the man-made man; and the 
 power of the healer to see it does establish its presence 
 as a fact; does uncover it—as it were—from the mis- 
 taken beliefs in sickness and death that had previously 
 enveloped it. , Pg ot ee 
 
8 THE APPLICATION OF POWER, 
 
 And so it happens that all over the country and in 
 many parts of Europe, Mental Scientists are curing 
 disease and various kinds of deformities that the regu- 
 lar physicians pronounce incurable. 
 
 The great bulk of medical men are too opinionated 
 to look into this new therapeutic discovery with un- 
 prejudiced eyes. They say, “Oh, it is a sort of insanity 
 going rampant over the world, and it will run its 
 course like other manias and die out.” But the time 
 is rapidly approaching when they will either have to 
 investigate it or give up their profession entirely. Now 
 to investigate this science is to adopt it. I speak from 
 a perfectly unprejudiced position. I have never sought 
 patients, though patients are seeking me by the hun- 
 dred. J prefer teaching to healing, because teaching 
 is the most enduring form of healing, though I cannot 
 very well refuse to exercise my power to recognize the 
 healing truth for others in any way that seems best to 
 them. | 
 
 For it surely is the recognition of truth that heals. 
 
 What truth? 
 
 I have said that there is but one absolute truth ;and 
 that truth is that God (Good) exists, and fills all space 
 to the exclusion of evi]. As God is altogether good, 
 therefore the spirit of man—wuIcu Is THE REAL MAN— 
 waust be good also. And this spirit is the most power- 
 
THE APPLICATION OF POWER. Q 
 
 ful factor we can think of. It is God organized; God 
 in individualization. | 
 
 No man has any right to be afraid of the power 
 vested in him, since it is the power of God or Good, 
 Man has covered this power from his own sight by his 
 ignorant beliefs; as he lives in these beliefs externally 
 and fills this external life full of mistakes he has 
 learned to dread any unusual power that he suspects 
 himself of possessing. Therefore it will be difficult 
 for the purely external man to accept the truth con- 
 cerning his own real intrinsic worth and God-like 
 vower. If all men did accept it, there would be no 
 more of those appearances we call sin, sickness and 
 death in the world, and no more use for Mental Science 
 healers, 
 
 But we find the world covered up from a true sight 
 of its grand and glorious self by a mantle woven of its 
 ignorant beliefs; and we must—tor the present—be 
 satisfied to do such partial and palliative work in re- 
 lieving this condition as comes to us. And every one 
 who is even in a slight understanding of this mighty 
 truth can do something. Every one can stand firmly 
 by his belief in the inner man or woman that dwells 
 in each individual; every one can deny away the ex-: 
 ternal appearances of disease and deformity and HoLp

 spirit—the real and true God in man—that he can 
 gain a conception of. | 
 I believe there are hundreds of persons who can 
 treat patients with some success just by reading this 
 article. And believing this, I mean to give a short 
 formula. | | 
 Seat yourself behind and out of sight of the patient; 
 do not lay your hands upon him at all. The only 
 reason whv you should avoid personal contact is 
 that it has a tendency to externalize your thought. 
 I sve no objection to naming the disease he claims to 
 have. It may be that you are afraid of the disease he 
 claims to have; and if so, to name it will help you to 
 banish your fear. It is like facing something you are — 
 afraid of; like unmasking a false bugaboo that would 
 haye been a bugaboo always had you not unmasked 
 it. Perhaps it is cancer in its worst form. Then if | 
 you are not deeply in the understanding of the truth— 
 it is probable that thoughts like these will swarm 
 through your mind: “Why, here; this man is ina 
 fearful condition ; part of his cheek is eaten away, and 
 how can the flesh possibly grow again?” 
 Now, such thoughts come to you because you are in 
 "the external beliefs with him. You must lose sight of 
 the external and go deeper. 
 Say—‘‘All is Good; all is Good; there is no evil in 
 
THE APPLICATION OF POWER. 1{ 
 
 the universe.” Keep saying this untila deep realiza- 
 tion of its truth comes to you. When this realization 
 does come, you will have lost sight of all merely ex- 
 terna! beliefs. Then say—‘“If all is Good or God, then 
 evil cannot exist. No power can exist that conflicts 
 with the One Eternal Good. The Universe cannot be 
 a universe and a diverse too. If it is a universe then 
 it is altogether Good or God, and there is no room for 
 evil in it. Then what is this disease the patient claims 
 to have? First, let me see what the patient believes 
 concerning himself, and secondly, what he really and 
 truly is.’ I now address him mentally; I speak ne 
 word out loud to him except in answer to any ques- 
 tion he may ask. I say to him—‘I perceive your be- 
 lief in disease and I know its origin. It did not orig- 
 inate in the One Absolute Truth we call God. because 
 there is no evil in God, and if cancer were a reality it 
 would be a very great evil indeed. That you do be- 
 lieve in evil, as shown forth in the confession of your 
 belief called cancer, is because you do not know your 
 relation to God—do not know that you are of God, 
 and that God exists in you—the only power you have 
 and are. It is evident to me that you are living in 
 naking; beliefs that 
 are not in conformity with trv t Gody but that, DENY 
 truth or God. Now, 1 hjle_denidlsotdsygh. hod

 may manifest themselves through the creative power 
 of man’s thought, vet these manifestations are only 
 appearances of truth, and have no real basis of exist- 
 ence. They are the result of man’s privilege as a 
 growing individual to make mistakes in his upward 
 climb toward the knowledge of absolute truth or God. 
 This belief of yours is one of the many mistakes which 
 the race is now making; it is a belief based on false 
 premises, a belief based on the supposition that evil 
 does exist, and does in a measure contest supremacy 
 with God the One and Only. A belief grounded in a 
 misconception of truth cannot stand when exposed to 
 the full light of truth. Therefore, when I tell you that 
 there is not one particle of disease in the universe, 
 and that God (Good) reigns eternal, and that you are 
 a part of God, eternal as God, filled with divine power, 
 ever flowing inte and through you from the One 
 Source, you may see that your belief in cancer is a de- 
 lusion. You have no cancer. I boldly declare this, 
 knowing that even my slight recognition of the truth 
 will have a tendency to make the truth manifest; for 
 the simple reason that God and one are a majority, 
 and that no word of truth was ever spoken, no matter 
 by whom or in what weakness, that the Universal Life 
 has not flowed into and made manifest. I therefore 
 pronounce you a well man, resting in firm faith that

 the truth I have spoken so faintly and feebly will yet 
 be proclaimed in lines of health that will entirely 
 efface the false appearance in which you now believe.” 
 
 The foregoing formula may be changed to suit the 
 oceasion. There is only one thing essential in healing; 
 and that is forthe healer to always recognize as strongly 
 as possible that a man is all mind, and of the same sub- 
 stance and purity that God is; that mind is the only 
 REAL substance; that. the man is all mind—every par- 
 ticle of him—because there isonly one substance in the 
 universe and that substance is the One Mind we call 
 God. Let the healer treat herself until she reaches the 
 attitude where she can formulate a perfectly strong, 
 healthy, vigorous and joyous picture of the patient. 
 Let her formulate this picture in her own mind, and 
 hold to it with conviction of its reality in spite of ap- 
 pearances, and the real will surely manifest itself as a 
 result. Let her but stand in faithful and restful real- 
 ization of the true; undismayed, undisturbed by fear, 
 and all error Must fall before her. 
 
 Beliefs are transitory and unsubstantial. Nothing 
 is enduring and substantial but God, the One Mind, 
 and its expression or individualization in the disease- 
 less, deathless spirit of man. 
 
he Blossomef the Century 
 
 By HELEN WIiLMANS. This is a Mental Science book. It is all about the 
 possibilities of huiman power; the power vested in human development. ‘Ti is at 
 once a mighty revelation and a mightier prophecy. Such a book is imestimable in 
 its capacity to unfold native mental ability in the person who studies it, and to 
 establish him in uataltering self-trust. The absence of self-trust is self-defeat every 
 time. Its absence 1s the curse of the race. Itis neither poverty nor disease nor 
 oppression that curses us; it is the want of self-confidence that does it. The man 
 who has sel -trust goes up head; those v ho lack it take their places below him, and 
 stand, usually, where the self-trustful man places them. But here is what some 
 of the readers have said about the book: ‘ 
 
 S. McDonald, Terre Haute, Ind., says of it: 
 
 ** A wonderful book; a book that will stir the old world from center to circum- 
 ference; tne elements of destruction and of re-construction are in it—the destruc- 
 tion of solidified error; the re-construction of life on a higher basis than the 
 
 conceptions of the race have yet dreamed of. It is the one book of the century;. 
 
 indeed, it is the one book of the centuries.” 
 
 Charles Davis Hart, Chicago, Il., says: 
 
 ** | have never read ‘anything, and indeed there has never been mathe written, 
 so calculated to awaken the slumbering seeds of possibility in men, and to develop 
 their latent genius, as this wonderfnl book. I should have missed ‘the greater part 
 of myself not to have read it; for it has revealed this greater part to me. Tam
