Immutability of the Law

"There is a Power to which all things are possible. This Power or Law of Mind is right where we are and we use It with every thought we think. To come into the greater possibility of Good that is open to each of us we must use It constructively. This is what we do in giving a spiritual mind treatment, which we call the Science of Mind. Taking our inspiration from God’s Spirit dwelling within us, we cause the Law to operate for us at this level of consciousness.

When Jesus said that we should seek the kingdom of heaven first and everything else would be added, he was telling us that when our consciousness lifts itself above confusion and enters the peace of the Spirit, then our word spoken from this center is acted upon immutably, producing the desired effect. We are not making the prayer work or using spiritual mind treatment to force things to happen any more than we would be compelling a reflection of our likeness to be cast from a mirror when we stand in front of it. Such reflection is automatic; it is certain to look exactly like the image. In just such a manner our thought reflects into a creative medium that returns its image.

Believing in the immutable Law of Mind and knowing that I am not coercing, I do now completely abandon myself to the realization that I am one with the living Spirit, one with the eternal Good, one with the everlasting God. I am steadfast in my affirmation, letting nothing limit or obstruct its reflection in my experience. There is nothing in me that need compel my word to operate, nor is there anything in me that can hinder its operation. Standing still, operating from the Divine center of my own consciousness, I announce the Truth and the Truth makes me free."   Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. —PSALM 119:18
