affirmative prayer and spiritual mind treatment
Ernest Holmes on Prayer
"Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it."
"Each one of us is an outlet to God and an inlet to God."
"When prayer removes distrust and doubt and enters the field of mental certainty, it becomes faith; and the universe is built on faith."
"Through the art of affirmative prayer the limitless resources of the Spirit are at my command. The power of the Infinite is at my disposal."
"There is a Power around you that knows and that understands all things. This Power works like the soil; it receives the seed of your thought and at once begins to operate upon it. It will receive whatever you give to it and will create for you and throw back at you whatever you think into it. "
"Believe as though you are, and you will be. "
Spiritual Mind Treatment
Spiritual Mind Treatment is Affirmative Prayer grounded in the Principles of Science of Mind and recognized as a primary means of healing and improving our human condition.
Spiritual Mind Treatment is a process and method used to realign our thought with Truth.
As a mental treatment, it is designed to clear the thought of negation, doubt and fear, thus allowing it to perceive the Truth and access the presence of the Indwelling Spirit that is never separate from us.
THE FIVE STEPS OF SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
I. RECOGNITION (GOD IS) | Recognize God as the ultimate, limitless Presence and Power in the universe. God is all there is.
II. UNIFICATION (I AM) | After recognizing God as the ultimate Presence and Power in and through everything, you now accept that you and God are one. You know God acts through you, as you, in you, and in and through all life.
III. DECLARATION & REALIZATION (I ACCEPT; I AFFIRM) | Already knowing that you are in and of God, you realize without doubt or reservation that the good you desire to experience is now taking form through God’s Power.
IV. THANKSGIVING / ACCEPTANCE (I GIVE THANKS) | Having clearly stated and affirmed what you want to experience, you thankfully accept that the good you desire is yours right now.
V. RELEASE (I LET GO and LET GOD) After thankfully accepting your Good as already accomplished, you release your prayer to the activity of the Universal Law of Mind, thus completely freeing yourself of concern.
At the end of every Spiritual Mind Treatment, we say the words “And so it is.” These words let us release our treatment out of our hands with total conviction that we BELIEVE and KNOW that what we desire is already done through the Power of God.
