2 wonderful I AM manifests itself. The lesson today is the formative poier of thi mind, the imagination. WI are told that we vere created in the image and likeness of God; that the oriativo mind imaged us and gave us dominlon over all the lesser images, the birds of the alr, the fowls, the boasts of the fleld, the creeping things of the earth, and the fish of the sea. All these repreaint ideas which this oni criativi zind has oxprossed in mind. Man, the great suprem idea, has dominlon through his imaging power over all these ideas. Through the ideas, or the pattern,

3 r r 3 he makes the thing. Nov you can see that we are trying to handle. a process of forming, or molding, after a pattern. And the pattern li always the one fram the Inflnlti Mind. In other words, theri li an Infinite, Omni esint Mind, in which our mental images or (C,) patterns for everything that man makes visible. It li Ood's work to maki thesi patterns and man's work is to reflect them into manifistation. As Jesus said, "Th/ Father vorketh hitherto, and now I work." As we become acqualntid with ourselves and our bodies as mental projections, we see at once that we have within our keeping, the all-possibility of manifestation. We think - 7

4 4 that we are tothored to nature's law. What is nature's lawt It is something that we havi all and are carrying along in our minds. Psychologists till us that our bodies are in one constint procesi of change. Your skin i renewed every thirty days. On a day like this you can rub any part of your body and the skin will peel off. It is part of the skin coming to the surface and passing away. In Dhirty days you will got rid of the oamplote skin. The finger nalls, we are told. ar new every four months and we have an entirely new set of nalls. The hair takes about

5 - A 5 seven. And so on. If you are a married woman, you think : you married a certain _man, say oleven months ago. Where is that man today? Ho has been remado during thi time and you havo not got the same man you had. And the sami vay if you are a man. You do not have the same wife you married some timi ago. If the body is making thls constant change, is there any stability to us at I all? Yes. It le the mold in which the body 18 being constantly i-- ' formed. What is that mold? There is a picture-making man within I every oni of us. Psychologists have averaged up the persons they

6 6 have experimented with and thoy tell us these definite departments - of the body are renewed in certain linghts of time. Metaphysicians have found that they can incre s th beat of their hearts or any part of the body by concentrating their attintion. It is the mind that makes thi body. The author I have quoted previously says it is the mold of th mind that is the real. The body is something the mlnd is expirimenting with. He does not know what the ultimate of this exporiment may be. It might be that we could make any kind of a body or that we could continue to make it and keep it in

7 1 7 first class shape. Well, what is the reasont Because we change our minds. It is well 4 knownthat a man and woman.who are very harmonious and live together for a time grow to look alike. Whatever image you carry in your mind will be projected into your affairs. You build in your mind first the idea. We think that vi can form an idea of a certain thing and that idea will be just our own, but it becomes part of our very nature. That 18 why we inhibit through our thinking the ideas that we carry and they become * part of us. They seem to take on a certain character,

8 ,\ C 8 4 but they are part of us. That is why th imaging power of the mind la so powerful and why these patterns that ve carry through our own thinking, or the thinking that 18 imprissed upon us, havi a wonderful and vital effect upon the body. You have all heard of the power of suggestion. Like thi girl who vas under hipnotic control could reproduce, in her body any thought that was told her. If they put a pieco,of loe an her back and told her it was a rid hot poker, blisters would appear. It was in Austral, I think, that they passed a 11/ that they should not experiment with people.

9 a 9 Doctors have found that.they have what they call phenomenal diseases that are conjurid up in the minds of their patients. A man will read an advertisement or read in a medical book about a certain condition in the body and he will begin to think about it and pretty soon he will imagine he has lt. The doctor will examine him and ask him where he got that idea. H# will answer that he got it. 1 from a newspaper, book, Itc. It la found that it is only an idea in his mind. Is the organic disease any more real than the mental capacity of that individual? How far does the mind have effect

10 10 over the body. It ia the 1111 that keeps us alive. So we fina that thesi molds which we call the imaging pow r of the mind are hold in place by the will. Thi pictures we are making of ourselvesthese bodies are hold here by our own volltion. We have determined that certain ideas shall prevail. Some one will say that he looks like his mother did when she was twenty-seven years old. That would be all right if ho stuck to that. But your mother got old, didn' t she T If you would make up your mind to look 11ke your mother did when she was twenty-seven you c ould do it. Now we will take up

11 /./ 11 this idea in our metaphysical work. It 19 not necessary for us to in our body consciousness. It la not necessary for us to behold in our minds thise vasting diseases. Back up in. ' your mind they mold. That mold is picturing itself all the time in the cells of your body. If you have bien taught that at a certaln age your hair will grow gray, or that fear vill turn your hair gray, and you have that idea, it will be carried out. If you.change the pattern and put into your consciousness that highest concept of the man, Jesus Christ, you will make that manifest.

12 Paul taught that when he said, "Beholding as in a mirrir the glory 12 of the Lord, are transformed into the sam/,image from glory to glory, even as from the'lord the Splrlt." By what Splrity The Spirit that was in the Lord. There la a divine law of changi from lesser conditions to better. We should be progressivi in seeing ourselves in perfection. Through visions and dreams and mental plotures we are glvin inspiration and help along this line. But we will havo some passages of Scriptilro along this line read. Bible Reading. get
