Schopenhauer reduced this world to two factors Will and Idea. Will stands for the Eternal Energy and Idea for the form it assumes. I believe this to be true, and as the individual is the Microcosm, or epitome, or microscopic edition of the Macrocosm or Universe, I consider that the motive power of the individual is made up of Will and Idea. Thought is the form that Will resolves itself into; therefore Thought is a Force, and it is the Force with which we adjust and regulate the living tissues of the body.

If you mentally tell a sick person that he is well, no matter how sick he may apparently be, the affirmation falls into his Subconscious Mind, which takes the suggestion and acts upon it, for the Subconscious Mind is sensitive, vibrating mind substance and when it is touched by a living word it moves in accordance with that word.

Living words are words of health, words of success, words of good cheer, and the Subconscious Mind responds to them by setting up better circulation, steadier heart-beats, better muscular and nerve action, better sight, better hearing and better digestion.
