In the Divine Design there is no limitation, only health, wealth, love and perfect self-expression.

When man sees himself as God sees him, he will become a radiant being, timeless, birthless and deathless, for “God made man in His likeness and in His image.”

Man is made in God’s likeness and image (Imagination) and is given power and dominion over all created things. He has power to “rebuke the winds and the waves,” check floods or bring rain when it is needed.

Man’s word is his wand filled with magic and power!

For example, a woman at sea awoke in the morning hearing the fog-horns blowing. A dense fog had settled on the ocean with no apparent signs of clearing. She immediately spoke the word: “There are no fogs in Divine Mind, so let the fog be lifted! I give thanks for the sun!” Soon the sun came out, for man has dominion over “the elements — over all created things.” Every man has power to lift the fog in his life. It may be a fog of lack of money, love, happiness or health. Give thanks for the sun!

There is no competition on the Spiritual plane. What is rightfully mine is given me under grace.

My endless good now comes to me in endless ways.

I have a wonderful joy in a wonderful way, and my wonderful joy has come to stay.

I am at peace with myself and with the whole world. I love everyone and everyone loves me. The flood gates of my good now open.

There is for each person his “other half’ or divine selection.

These are the two “whom God has joined together and no man shall (or can) part asunder.”

I forgive everyone and everyone forgives me. The gates swing open for my good.

I call on the law of forgiveness. I am free from mistakes and the consequences of mistakes. I am under grace and not under karmic law.

The Kingdom of Heaven is the realm of perfect ideas.

What you do for others you are doing for yourself.

There is no power in evil. It is nothing, therefore can only come to nothing.

Hope looks forward, Faith knows it has already received and acts accordingly. In my classes I often emphasize the importance of digging ditches (or preparing for the thing asked for) which shows active faith and brings the demonstration to pass.

I live in the Kingdom of eternal joy and absorbing interests. My body is “the body electric,” timeless and tireless, birthless and deathless.

I am a Spiritual Being — my body is perfect, made in His likeness and image. The Light of the Christ now streams through every cell. I give thanks for my radiant health.
