our knowledge, until later when we noted an improvement in health.

Patients sometimes stop treatment while all this wonderful recuperative activity is going on within imperceptibly, and when the treatment is thus stopped the outer result is never made manifest, and the patient mistakenly thinks the treatment has had no effect, whereas it has had an effect, but only interiorly.

The action of thought is imperceptible; hence it is hard for us to realize it to be a force. In the immense tract of the Subconscious there is always motion that is imperceptible. We do not see and feel THOUGHT when it goes forth to bring to us our own, or perform its mission of healing, and there are great powers working within us of which the Conscious Mind is unaware.

We stand upon an apparently quiet and stationary earth, and yet we are flying through space with incredible speed, turning somersaults the while, but this motion is to us imperceptible. Do you then find it difficult to believe that other motion may be equally imperceptible, and that the appearance of inaction may be as illusive as that of the earth appearing stationary?

When you are inclined to feel discouraged, remember that your conscious thought controls the imperceptible motion in your body. Depression and discouragement have a bad effect upon this motion, while hope and courage have a good effect and stimulate recuperation. I will repeat here for your encouragement something that I alluded to in a previous chapter.
