Cause and Effect

Scientific PrayerThe Principle Underlying Scientific Prayer
In prayer for a change in condition, physical, mental, or financial, for yourself or another, bear in mind that the fundamental necessity for the answer to prayer is the understanding of the scientific statement:

Ask, believing you have already received, And you shall receive

This is not as difficult as it appears on the surface, once you realize that: Everything has, its origin in the mind, and that which you seek outwardly, you already possess.

No one can think a thought in the future.

Your thought of a thing constitutes its origin.

THEREFORE:
The Thought Form of the Thing is already Yours As soon as you think it.

Your steady recognition of this Thought Possession causes the thought to concentrate, to condense, to project itself, and to assume physical form.


If you plant an ACORN, you get an OAK.
If you sow a GRAIN OF CORN, you reap a stalk and MANY kernels of corn.

You always get the manifestation of that which you consciously or unconsciously AFFIRM and CLAIM, habitually declare and expect, or, in other words, “AS YOU SOW.”

Therefore, sow the seeds of—
I AM. . .I OUGHT TO DO. . .I CAN DO... I WILL DO.
Realize:
—that because you ARE you OUGHT to do;
—that because you OUGHT to, you CAN do;
—that because you CAN do, you DO do.

The manifestation of this Truth, even in a small degree, gives you the undisputable understanding that DOMINION IS YOUR CHARTER RIGHT.

You are an heir of First Cause, endowed with all the power He has.

God has given you everything. ALL is yours, and you know that all you have to do is to reach out your mental hand and take it.

This Formula may serve as a pattern to shape your own Prayer or Affirmation into God for the benefit of another or yourself.



Troward tells us that the great lesson he learned from the airplane and wireless telegraphy is the triumph of principle over precedent, the working out of an idea to its logical conclusion in spite of accumulated contrary testimony of all past experience.
Your Invisible Power
by GENEVIEVE BEHREND
1921


My mind is a center of Divine operation. The Divine operation is always for expansion and fuller expression, and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before, something entirely new, not included in the past experience, though proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence or growth. Therefore, since the Divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate in the same manner with me; consequently, in my own special world, of which I am the center, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before.
