thought, or a negative (fearful) thought?'

Remember the old occult saying "As above, so below; as within, so without" - and in the same way your universe reflects you. Man in himself is a microcosmic being, and any law of Truth that applies to the Cosmos, applies to you.

We who have tried it, know that when we direct our thought consciously, we have the life we want. Certainly there is not one of us who is free of problems. But whatever the problem, it is a test. How long you will have it depends on you. You will have it until you change your thought about it.

Let us say, far the sake of illustration, that you have a definite problem, and you are going to use what you have read today in trying to solve it. The problem, whatever it may be is pressing.

The first thing you do is to get very still for a few minutes. Then realize that at some time or other you thought the problem into existence. Don't try to figure out when. Just dismiss the how or why, and reason that since you thought it into existence, you certainly can think it out of existence.

Now, when you are really quiet, you turn to the Presence of God within you. God is waiting for you to come to Him. Accept the Presence of God, even though at this point it is merely an intellectual idea. Reflect on such thoughts as 'God is perfect good, perfect freedom, perfect Truth, Life, Love and Law.' Realize that God is handling this through you and with you. Give thanks for the demonstration.

Dwell on these thoughts for a few minutes, and then forget about it. Forget about the treatment and forget about the problem. And then, after that you will find as we all do, that your mind comes back to the problem. When this happens, and every time it happens, say to yourself:

"It is in the hands of God, not in mine."

Your mind is like a radio. You can tune into a problem or to a positive thought, depending on which thought you
