“Give Thanks”

Ernest Holmes, Our Founder

We have no record of Jesus asking God to do anything, except in the Garden of Gethsemane, when He said: “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt.” Aside from this instance, Jesus’ method of approach, during His entire ministry, was to give thanks and then command the Law to work. This is the correct manner of approach to the Spirit and the Law. Yet have we any record of another man so apparently trying to follow the Divine Will? No! When Jesus healed people and told them to get up and walk, He did not pray that they might be able to get up and walk. He exercised an authority which seemed to be the result of His communion with the Spirit, and undoubtedly it was. Practice is a definite statement in mind, a positive affirmation. It is an active, conscious, aggressive mental movement and in such degree as it embodies an idea—and there is no longer anything in our minds which denies the idea—it will take form, because it now becomes a part of the law and order of the Universe in which we live.

The Law is subject to Spirit and is Its servant. Man is Spirit, but until he KNOWS this, he will be only half using the Law, for he will not have a clear understanding to fall back upon. Treatment removes doubt and fear, lets in the realization of the Presence of Spirit, and is necessary while we are confronted by obstructions or obstacles. Every problem is primarily mental, and the answers to our problems will be found in Spiritual Realizations.
