 BASIC STATEMENTS AND HEALTH TREATMENT OF TRUTH 
 
PREFACE 
 
 The arrangement of this consecutive course of condensed les- 
 sons, under the heading of Basic Statements and Treat- 
 ment, is designed to be a simple, practical method which, when 
 understood and practiced will enable students to realize whole- 
 ness for themselves, and for others. Wholeness is comprised of 
 pure Being, perfect thought and result. It is the all of Life, Love, 
 Truth, Intelligence, Substance, Power, and Presence for which 
 we are seeking. It means Health, Satisfaction and Success.

 HEALTH TREATMENT 
 
 HEALING BY THE CHRIST METHOD 
 
 THE basis for the manifestation of power in the Christ 
 Method of Healing is knowledge of at-one-ment of 
 man and God. "I and my Father are one'' means one and 
 the same in nature, possibility, and power ; not two Beings, 
 Spirits or Minds. The Creator of an ever-present living 
 creation must necessarily be infinite and limitless from 
 eternity to eternity ; hence, there can be neither finite being 
 nor limitation. 
 
 Most people believe creation to be an event of the past, 
 and that creative action ceased with the accomplishment 
 of that event. Where this is believed, it is claimed that 
 creation belongs to time and place. This claim cannot be 
 true, for all that live, live within and unto God, and are, 
 therefore, living within the omnipresent Creator through- 
 
12 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 
 
 out eternity ; and must be, begin, end and be complete in 
 God now. If Being and the beginning of its ex- 
 pression were not eternal, existence would have no rela- 
 tionship with God at this time. "The way, the truth and 
 the life," must be the origin of all living things ; hence, 
 all things must in the end find their abiding place in Being 
 where they have origin, which makes them eternal. As 
 "I Am" is the Word which is the light of the world, and 
 of every man that comes into the world, everything lives 
 within Me and is illumined with My glory, even as the 
 burning bush was to Moses, aflame with the light of My 
 Holy presence. 
 
 Not until we conceive that all things are now alive unto 
 God's eternity and wholeness, and not unto time, shall we 
 "witness the beginning of creation." When we cease 
 thinking, speaking and acting, as if the body, or anything 
 pertaining to it, belongs unto time, and is dependent on 
 place, we shall have ceased talking about death, and plan- 
 ning for the grave. A full understanding of Divine Sci- 
 ence, the living truth of what we are, is a Knowledge of 
 God in creation, that creation is God expressed. 
 
 HEALING 
 
 There are various ways by which the attention of people 
 may be arrested and called to the Christ Method of Heal- 
 ing. Some are interested through hearing of the healing 
 of others and are thus caused to give it consideration. 
 Wanting healing, as they do, either for themselves or 
 
CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 13 
 
 friends, they are induced to try this method, and as it re- 
 sults in the health and satisfaction for which they have 
 long sought, they in turn are ready to interest others. 
 
 They who say, "If one can be healed, another can, 
 hence, healing is for me," speak wisely. They virtually 
 declare the vital truth for themselves — that "There is no 
 respect of persons with God." This decision is good, it 
 comprehends much, it is a receptive attitude which is ready 
 for successful results. Again, others are advised by 
 friends to try the Christ Method, and as they have done 
 all they knew to do — having exhausted every method that 
 has been presented for the salvation of man — they accept 
 the advice, and resolve to try the Truth, which to know 
 makes them free, and are made whole. 
 
 The ways by which people are led to investigate Divine 
 Science and practice it may vary ; but what all are seeking 
 to know is, when and how to begin. Nozu is always the 
 accepted time, the only time to begin. The moment you 
 want to be healed is the right time to commence the work. 
 It is understood by all that there can be no result without 
 a cause, and cause can bring forth no result without action, 
 so now is the time to act and produce results. No one can 
 enjoy health as a result of treatment until the treatment is 
 commenced. Hence, the beginning must necessarily pre- 
 cede the result. There is something for each one to do 
 who wants healing, though the nature of the work to be 
 done may differ from all previous attempts made to regain 
 health. Much has been said in the class-room, written and 
 published, explanatory of methods by which healing is 
 
14 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 
 
 done, which are considered helpful in their nature ; but in 
 the Christ Method, a knowledge of Being that which is 
 whole, is the one thing necessary as a basic Principle for 
 demonstration. 
 
 How can we heal others, see them w r hole, when there is 
 a beam in our own eye? The supposition that there is 
 something in our nature that is the opposite of God will see 
 motes and blemishes in others ; for that which sees and 
 describes false belief as real, is itself false belief. Knowl- 
 edge never believes error to be truth. When a child under- 
 stands the principle by which to solve his problem, he 
 neither believes that error is truth, nor that a mistake 
 stands for calculation. 
 
 The responsibility as to the result of treatment does not 
 rest exclusively with the person employed in giving treat- 
 ment. Christ, in the patient, who is "The Way, the 
 Truth and the Life," compels no. personified false beliefs to 
 accept Him, and think and believe that they are whole. 
 God creates all things, but does not create opinions con- 
 cerning them. It is a matter of choice, called free will, 
 whether we pronounce with God or otherwise. "Choose 
 ye this day whom ye will serve," whether it be the Truth 
 that the infinite whole is God, and is perfect, or whether 
 it be the false supposition that there is something else, that 
 is imperfect. Those wanting to be healed should do their 
 part and be willing to recognize and receive unto them- 
 selves the Truth that they are whole. The record of Life, 
 the truth of Being, says that we have eternal life with God. 
 This being true, we must necessarily have eternal health in 
 God, and be satisfied and happy. 
 
CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 15 
 
 The teaching of Jesus stands above all teachings pre- 
 ceding it, in that He taught that knowledge of the Truth, 
 applied, heals, or puts an end to sickness ; for there can be 
 no sickness in God or Good, hence can be none in Truth. 
 His practice proved the truth of His preaching, for He not 
 only healed the sick when called upon to do so, but his 
 command to the disciples was to go forth into all the world, 
 and preach the gospel unto every creature, and heal the 
 sick. It is not sufficient to enable us to demonstrate whole- 
 ness that we think the truth for a portion of creation, for 
 Truth must erase the false belief of the world's apostasy 
 from God; and thus proceed forth with the Holy Spirit 
 into all the w r orld, even unto the ends of the earth. 
 
 "Go show yourselves to the Priests," Jesus said unto 
 the ten lepers who called upon him to have mercy on them. 
 The appeal was made as he approached, which, spiritually 
 speaking, made the conjunction or at-one-ment in thought, 
 between them ; they went their way, which was according 
 to his direction or commandment ; hence, the result was 
 they realized that they were whole, and were clean. 
 
 The first requirement in this method of healing is that 
 of giving up the false supposition and unsatisfying belief 
 of a self-hood separate from God. This change of con- 
 ception is the spiritual act of baptizing unto repentance, 
 which precedes the taking on of at-one-ment — the baptism 
 of the Holy Spirit. At-one-ment is the yoke that is easy, — / / 
 the bond of union which makes every burden light. 
 
 Where two are agreed upon earth as touching any one 
 thing there is at-one-ment, and / am is in the midst of 
 
16 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 
 
 them with perfect demonstration. What is agreed upon 
 shall be granted unto them. No line is to be drawn be- 
 tween the one employed in giving treatment and the one 
 receiving it. The two should agree, and thus be one in 
 the Truth, of which they seek demonstration. If it be 
 health, the freedom and harmony of Truth, that is sought 
 to be realized, the first thing to do is to agree that health is, 
 and is for you; and if for you, it is present; what is not 
 present cannot be realized, enjoyed, or demonstrated. In 
 this you have the whole plan of success. You have now 
 determined to shape your thought, word, and deed, accord- 
 ing to the Truth of what is, and is for you, and is at hand. 
 So, there is no postponement, neither is there seeking for 
 something to come from afar ; what you ask for is come ; 
 is yours now. 
 
 "No" should never be taken for an answer, and in order 
 to prove that "No" is not an accepted answer you are to 
 cease making negative claims and doing that which is 
 contrary to Truth. God accepts no excuses, even as the 
 principle in mathematics admits no excuses in the solution 
 of a problem, but demands that the principle be adhered 
 to if demonstrated in the example. Make your claims ac- 
 cording to Truth. Claim to be Truth, and your words will 
 be words of Life — the pure, white "Yes" of God. Let man, 
 created in Christ Jesus, in righteousness and holiness of 
 Truth, use the pronoun / as meaning the unlimited nature 
 of the All Good. The Canaanitish woman was so deter- 
 mined to have her daughter healed that she refusel to rec- 
 ognize any obstacle to that result. All should be thus deter- 
 
CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 17 
 
 mined who ask for healing, and the result following- will be 
 the same as it was with her. 
 
 As the word that is. with God, and is God, made the 
 world, and is its light and life, one should stop discussing 
 the question as to whether it is God's will that we be 
 whole, — made to enjoy health. The will of an all-powerful 
 God to make whole must of necessity be one and the same 
 at all times. God must be without variation or shadow of 
 turning. His will must be for the absolute perfection and 
 goodness of each one in every respect. The habit of setting 
 up obstacles, claiming difficulties, and making excuses 
 should be given up. The infinite All, when accepted as 
 being all Good, God, proves to be health, success and har- 
 mony without limit. After having heard the Truth, noth- 
 ing but a willingness to continue in old lines of belief and 
 tradition can hinder any one from having a realization of 
 wholeness. Since it is God's will that all should feel well, 
 and right habit of thought based in Being will bring this 
 about, there is no reason why all should not enjoy health 
 in the knowledge of Truth. It is an easy matter to reject 
 the belief that there are difficulties to be overcome, obstacles 
 in the way, excuses to be made, and to accept the whole 
 Truth, and to know and enjoy freedom. Begin your work 
 at once by saying, What has been done, I can do. I can 
 realize myself to be whole. There is nothing in me, or of 
 me that is not harmonious. Speak these words in faith 
 and persist in acting in line with them ; actions speak 
 louder than words sometimes.

 BE SINCERE IN YOUR EFFORTS 
 
 If you have sought in many ways and spent a fortune 
 in your search for health, and have failed to find it, do not 
 hesitate to try the Divine Science method, it will heal you. 
 Your past experience has embraced methods of treatment 
 based in the erroneous claim of physical causation, accom- 
 panied with hope of getting well, which at best, can only 
 change one condition of belief for another. These changes 
 have been brought about by going from one locality to 
 another, change of scenery, or perhaps by a few little 
 pellets ; being made in belief only, and as to condition, 
 these changes do not touch the plane of eternal Life, or 
 Being ; hence, do not touch our unchanging health. "God 
 is the health of his people/' The Christ or Divine Science 
 method of healing proves that wholeness is to be enjoyed 
 in Truth and nowhere else. It demonstrates that health 
 is eternal ; that success is ever at hand. Your past ex- 
 perience has been based in a mere hope of getting well. 
 Now, try the only true method of knowledge and faith — 
 that of being well. "Be ye perfect, even as your Father 
 in heaven is perfect." Perfect being must necessarily pre- 
 cede perfect thinking ; perfect thinking must precede per- 
 fect results either in words, deeds, or sensations. This is 
 infallible law. Truth frees by proving that you are not 
 bound. 
 
 If physicians have said that your case is incurable, if 
 they have exhausted their skill upon you, and said there 
 is no help for you, remember, their skill consists in ad- 
 
CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 19 
 
 ministering' external remedies and in performing opera- 
 tions. "In vain shalt thou use many medicines, for thou 
 shalt not be cured." Their skill is not that of bearing 
 fruit of the Spirit of Truth, and creating anew, which is 
 the only true demonstration of health there is. Healing is , 
 producing results direct from Spirit, or Principle. Give no 
 place to what your friends have said about your case. 
 Let your determination to succeed be a matter wholly be- 
 tween you and God. God never pronounces against any 
 one, and does not say that your case is incurable or hope- 
 less. He has no method but the one of perfection. He 
 says : "Be whole, because I am whole" ; "Thy faith hath 
 made thee whole" ; "Thou art loosed from infirmities." 
 rt My freedom is thine." 
 
 Age is not an obstacle in the way of either knowing or 
 demonstrating the freedom of Truth. Why limit the body 
 by time, and the claim of age? It is eternal in idea and 
 substance. The notion that mental faculties must fail 
 with increasing years is a false one, and is as unreliable 
 as is the belief that mental faculties are born of the brain, 
 and that mind or spirit is evolved from the body. The 
 truth is that mental faculties, the brain, and entire body 
 are the manifestations of Mind or Spirit, and Mind can 
 never fail. /Hence, you are always just old enough to be 
 well, and to think right, and to know and remember all 
 there is in Truth. Now is just the right time to prove 
 that you have health, are happy and satisfied. Xow r is the 
 time to bring eternal Life and immortality to light, and 
 bear witness of the truth of what vou are. , 
 
20 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 
 
 Because you have spent large sums of money trying to 
 get well; do not hold that as an objection against trying 
 this method. When it is once settled in your conscious- 
 ness that you want and can realize freedom and whole- 
 ness, the only question that should arise is : Do I want to 
 realize it more than "anything else; how 7 much do I want 
 health ; what am I willing to do for it ? Be not divided 
 in your thought between money and what may be accom- 
 plished. Let neither money, time, nor anything, be as an 
 obstacle in your way. Your determination will not falter 
 if your purpose is one and undivided. Say, my birthright 
 is health, wholeness and satisfaction, and think and act 
 accordingly; do not barter it for any number of excuses. 
 If necessary, give up all former habits of belief, speaking 
 and acting, and conform all to the Principle of Truth. 
 
 Jesus never denies that he is the Truth — the at-one- 
 ment of God and man ; but says, in the hour of seeming 
 need : "To this end was I born, and for this cause came I 
 into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth." 
 Each one should say : I am here to bear witness of the 
 truth as much in the hour of seeming need as at any other 
 time, and this is my time. To this end was I born. My 
 existence bears witness of truth and life. I need no medi- 
 cine. I cannot serve God and Mammon. The taking of 
 medicine will not prove that I am eternal Life and Truth, 
 or free from the liability of disease. I therefore declare 
 I am health and wholeness. I and my Father are one, and 
 not two ; hence, I am complete in Him, and find nothing in 
 my existence to remedy. The I Am is sufficient unto all 
 things needful. 
 
CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 21 
 
 As you have proven that all the claims made for ex- 
 ternal remedies are powerless to give the unchanging 
 health and satisfaction for which you have sought, begin 
 your work on the plane of Being, by being in God, and 
 you will find what you have sought. If you have had no 
 opportunity of studying Divine Science in a class, or have 
 found no one to give you private instruction, who under- 
 stands the Truth, then be as faithful to Truth contained in 
 this little book as you have been in obeying the doctor's 
 directions. Put yourself entirely in the hands of Truth, 
 and do as it directs. Argue not within yourself or with 
 another about Divine Science. 
 
 Do not talk as if you were personally too good, or your 
 opinions too true, to have brought about the diseased con- 
 ditions from which you are seeking freedom, but that God 
 was not too good to have brought them upon you, and 
 that they must, therefore, be endured. Let the Christ 
 knowledge speak in you in all things. Declare that nothing 
 I have believed in the past can prevent the true idea of God 
 from being demonstrated in me. Do not criticise this 
 new and living method, Divine Science, nor condemn the 
 statements made in this book ; for surely, if you ask, and 
 ask not amiss, it will be necessary that you assume, men- 
 tally, the attitude of one receiving. See, therefore, that 
 you are willing to receive, by gladly acknowledging that 
 you do possess what you have asked for. The truth herein 
 recorded will be your teacher and healer, and will give you 
 the necessary instruction to bring forth your conscious un- 
 derstanding of Truth. 
 
22 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 
 
 Expect no one to devote their time to you without mak- 
 ing some return for it. The law of giving is also the law 
 of receiving ; the entire business of the world is transacted 
 through this law of exchange. Giving opens the channels 
 for receiving. It is both spiritually and literally true from 
 the individual standpoint that they who give, receive, and 
 they who receive, give. Equal exchange, in the business 
 world, is justice. The great desire, under general cultiva- 
 tion in the world, is that of getting, and giving as little as 
 possible in return. This desire prevents many from realiz- 
 ing their divine opulence, for it is just the opposite of the 
 Law of wholeness and success, which is, to render full 
 measure for that which is given. There is no real freedom 
 in this desire, nor is there any real possession in the desire 
 to get something without rendering a just equivalent. As 
 "the laborer is worthy of his hire/' one might as justly 
 demand another's money for nothing as to demand that 
 one should give his time and labor for nothing. To render 
 a just equivalent for all things, in our dealings w r ith each 
 other, is honorable, righteous and helpful. No teacher or 
 healer ever thinks of charging for the Truth ; hence, the 
 charge is for the time spent in behalf of the students' and 
 patients' welfare. 
 
 If healing is not instantly or quickly realized, be reason- 
 able, sincere and willing to persevere. Do not say : I have 
 given it a fair trial with a few treatments ; but say to 
 yourself : I am willing to believe that health is ; hence, I 
 am willing to say that I do not believe that I have any 
 disease. Be as faithful in claiming that you have health, 
 
CHRIST METHOD OF HEALING 23 
 
 and that you are in a state of perfect harmony, as false 
 belief has been in claiming to be diseased and inharmoni- 
 ous. Be as willing to persevere with Truth as yon have 
 been to take medicine and experiment with external reme- 
 dies ; and you will soon prove that Divine Science is all 
 you need to bring out the full realization that God is your 
 sufficiency. The instant your thought and belief is at-one 
 with the idea of God, you will realize freedom. Do not 
 postpone being well. Do not postpone for to-morrow what 
 ought to be done to-day. The belief that you will receive 
 by and by, keeps putting off, and prevents you from realiz- 
 ing in the sweet, happy now. You cannot speak the truth 
 of Infinite Spirit without saying : I am well now ; I am free 
 now ; I am health now ; I am satisfied now ; I succeed now. 
 You cannot say : I hope for these things some time, and 
 speak the word of God as he speaks it. Thus it is clear that 
 the Christ Alethod is the demonstration of Principle. This 
 is Life's 'new and living way." Speak as God would 
 speak, and your words will be living words, and your feel- 
 ings, environments and success, will be shaped accordingly. 
 Then will you be glad that you were told to say these 
 things. The Infinite's idea is kept before you in this 
 method. "Hold fast the form of sound words." 
 
 Avoid thinking, talking, or reading of sickness, or of 
 any kind of trouble. Do not describe symptoms or sensa- 
 tions to any one. If friends or members of your own family 
 ask after your feelings and symptoms, and you describe 
 them, it prevents you from yielding thoroughly to the 
 treatments ; for when these conditions are talked about, 
 
24 DIVINE SCIENCE STATEMENTS 
 
 they are still given form in memory ; hence, they have not 
 been given up. You can do much for yourself by avoiding" 
 everything that tends to keep in memory the condition 
 from which you wish to be free. To prove the Christ 
 Method, you are to be courageous, determined, and faith- 
 ful, and think and act the truth that you have being in God 
 now. Study Divine Science thoroughly, get an under- 
 standing of its law, and you will realize freedom and be 
 able to liberate others from false claims and conditions. Do 
 not attempt to mix or confuse Divine Science w T ith former 
 beliefs and opinions. As Good, or God, is no respecter of 
 persons, say to yourself : I can do all that has been done. 
 "He that believeth shall do the things that I do," is a 
 promise for all. Yet, of myself, apart from the one All, 
 I can do nothing. It is God in me who is doing the works. 
 The law to be demonstrated is the Christ method, and is 
 mathematically exact. When wholeness is fully compre- 
 hended it is realized ; and it is known that there is no 
 disease in Truth, Ease, peace and eternal rest are in the 
 truth of at-one-ment. One is the number of unity, 
 and not two. / 
 
PART II 
 INTRODUCTORY 
 
INTRODUCTORY 
 
 TO BE, is in the present. To act, is in the present. 
 The result of action is in the present. Action and 
 the result of action have no power over Being, nor do they 
 attempt to have. They are the power of Being expressing 
 itself and expressed. 
 
 The true idea of a future and continuous Life is to be 
 found in the eternity of the Life we now are. As the Life 
 or Being that now is is eternal, we are now what we shall 
 ever be. 
 
 As eternity is a continuation of the present — a never- 
 ending now, and Being is eternal, to Be at all is to Be wdiat 
 is real and eternal now. Postponement of the use and full 
 enjoyment of our divine inheritance is prophecy, but the 
 fulfillment of all prophecy is in the present. Any and all 
 action is in the present. It is not possible to begin the 
 accomplishment of any work either in the past or future, 
 hence xow is the beginning ; so, "When ye pray, believe 
 that ye receive, and ye shall have." There can be no result 
 in the present without acting in the present, and no present 
 action without Being. Xow is the time to Be, to Do, and 
 to have the result or fruit of our doing. "Now is the ac- 
 cepted time." It is to be understood that Divine Science 
 
28 DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT 
 
 treatment when given to any one, no matter what the so- 
 called disease is named, is to heal now. "To-day is the 
 day of salvation.'' To-day is ever-present salvation. 
 
 This book is designed to correct the false race belief of 
 separation of God and man, and the various theories of 
 dualism arising therefrom. It is intended to eliminate the 
 claim that man is ungodly, but can become godly through 
 a process of doing, and to establish him in the conscious- 
 ness that he is now altogether godly. False beliefs do not 
 constitute man, nor have they anything to do with his 
 existence ; to realize his divinity and eternity it is necessary 
 to refuse to entertain the false race beliefs about man. 
 
 DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION OF TREATMENT 
 
 God, the Good, being the Infinite Whole, the one All, 
 it is God who is whole, and of whose wholeness is ex- 
 pressed in man. To ask in the name of God is to declare 
 wholeness for ourselves ; to acknowledge that it is already 
 ours is true asking ; God neither expresses nor knows any 
 reality but wholeness, so to ask and ask not amiss is to 
 believe ourselves whole, without spot or blemish. This is 
 keeping the covenant of at-one-ment. 
 
 In the thoughts and words of God alone is to be enjoyed 
 the full realization of wholeness. It is therefore intended 
 that these treatments be used with the understanding that 
 they are God's spoken word, the Truth of all living. We 
 can only realize at-one-ment by being as God is, and 
 thinking the same thoughts and speaking the same words. 
 Do not hesitate to make statements for vourself , that are 
 
DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT 29 
 
 true of God — the infinite Whole. In Truth there is noth- 
 ing higher than wholeness and nothing lower. Realization 
 of the truth of what you claim will be according to the 
 faith you have in Truth. To believe that you are heirs of 
 God, and to realize that you have received and are in pos- 
 session of your inheritance, is to believe that you are every 
 whit whole, and that every member and atom of your body 
 is alive unto God now and ever will be. 
 
 To apply the following treatments, students should first 
 commit to memory the Statement of Being and make it 
 fully their own, then begin with treatment Number one 
 and devote one day to its study and application. Read it 
 over and over many times. The next day study and apply 
 treatment Number two in the same manner; continue the 
 same each succeeding day, with the treatment next in 
 order, unto the end. Then begin over and rehearse in the 
 same order. The Statement of Being should be read every 
 day in connection with the treatment of the day. This 
 practice will unfold to you the truth of Being and bring 
 forth health, mental peace and successful effort. These 
 lessons and treatments correct the erroneous belief of 
 separation from God or Life, which is the underlying mis- 
 take made in attempting to solve life's problem from a 
 false premise ; and thus erase the false belief of a fall, and 
 enable the student to understand and enjoy the truth that 
 the problem of Life is already solved and demonstrated in 
 his existence. Then is the truth of Principle seen to spring 
 forth speedily in health, satisfaction, and success ; which 
 may be likened to a well of pure water springing up within 
 you unto everlasting life. 
 
30 DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT 
 
 Each statement of Truth, spoken with knowledge and 
 Faith, believing that it is true, is sufficient in itself to heal. 
 These treatments are all inclusive ; they declare the Truth 
 of God and man. As Truth heals, they are designed to 
 heal every mental and bodily "disease."" They are great 
 freeing statements. 
 
 Before giving a treatment make the following state- 
 ments : God is Infinite ; and fully realize that it means, 
 Good is All ; and because the Good one is All, you are and 
 are what is ; then know that all true claims are true of God, 
 and what you claim that is true of God, you are, the same 
 is the Son. 
 
 Go forth each day to perform your work or duties 
 clothed with the affirmations of Truth contained in the 
 treatments, believing that you are whole, and are not sub- 
 ject to conditions, influences or environments; you will 
 find that by thus doing the will of God, the affirmations 
 will prove to be a shield against all adverse beliefs and 
 conditions ; for, against Truth there is no law. "Thv 
 righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Thy 
 law is Truth." "There is no power but of God."

 STATEMENT OF BEING 
 
 The Basis for Teaching and Demonstrating Truth Ap- 
 plicable in All Treatment 
 
 I. 
 
 THERE can be but one All. This all in all is God 
 and God manifest. 
 
 One is the number of unity. 
 
 Unity is forever the state or nature of One. 
 
 God being Infinite, there is no finite. He is all of Being, 
 creative action and creation. "I and my Father are one." 
 
 God is Spirit, all of Life, Love, Truth, Substance, Soul 
 and Intelligence, all of Knowledge, all of Power, all of 
 Presence. Like expresses like ; hence, man is Spirit, life, 
 love, truth, substance, soul, intelligence, knowledge, power 
 and presence, the exact image and likeness of God, co- 
 eternal and co-equal with him. 
 
 Nothing can be manifested that is not, before it is mani- 
 fested. As God alone is, it is God who is manifested in 
 an ever-present creation. 
 
32 BASIC STATEMENTS 
 
 That which is begotten of Spirit is spirit. I am before 
 I am manifested. Man is potential in God, and is ex- 
 pressor, co-worker and capable of doing His will, demon- 
 strating the nature of Spirit. 
 
 Man is Being and existence, created in the image of 
 God's eternity and wholeness. There is one Spirit and one 
 body. Individually, we are inseparable. 
 
 AT-ONE-MENT IS HARMONY 
 
 As God is the one all, all there is, is goodness. 
 
 "There is none good but One." The Truth for eternity 
 is, "I am God and there is none else, * * * none like 
 me;" hence, oneness is wholeness. The supposition that 
 there is separation from God, that there is something that 
 is not God, is false. It falls short of Truth, and in the 
 scriptures is denominated sin, serpent, the adversary. The 
 only seeming separation as adverse of God is false belief. 
 
 A good source cannot produce an evil result, nor can 
 the method or act, by which the result is produced, be less 
 perfect than the source ; neither can the result be less per- 
 fect than the source and method by which it is produced. 
 
 AT-ONE-MENT IS SALVATION 
 
 "Of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil thou 
 shalt not eat of it." The primary and spiritual meaning of 
 eating, in the allegory, is identifying self with. To par- 
 take of anything means to assimilate and be one with that 
 of which we partake. To believe that there is something 
 that is separate from and is not God is to believe that there 
 
HEALTH TREATMENT 33 
 
 is something that is separate from and is not Good ; to be- 
 lieve that there is anything that is separate from and that 
 is not God, or Good, is to believe that there is an evil power 
 capable of producing evil results. This, and all such beliefs 
 are sensed as conditions which are looked upon as evil, the 
 adverse alike of God and man. A supposition that creation 
 is separated from God — something that is not — is no part 
 of God or man, who though supposed to be twain are one 
 Spirit. A false conception is no conception at all, and 
 never comes to anything; out of nothing, nothing comes. 
 
 To ignore the Truth is to suspect that there is something 
 that is not. Ignorance, therefore, is merely unsuspectingly 
 taking things for what they are not. 
 
 "agree with thine adversary quickly " 
 
 A deviation from the Principle of at-one-ment — the 
 unity of God and creation — is the only adversary of Truth. 
 
 That which is is Truth. It is impossible for anything 
 to Be, and not be Truth. It is a knowledge of Truth only 
 that can agree with the adversary, by knowing that false- 
 hood is false, and that a false supposition is nothing. 
 It is a test of true consciousness to see the nothingness of 
 nothing. 
 
 Non-resistance is the way of Life. "I am the Way." 
 What I am is the way. I know that there is nothing the 
 adverse of Truth. To agree that falsehood is false, is to 
 agree with the adversary and let it be nothing. In Truth 
 there is nothing to resist. To agree with the adversary 
 quickly, is to agree that it is what it claims to be — the 
 adverse of Truth. A false claim does not represent the 
 
34 BASIC STATEMENTS 
 
 Truth of anything that is. There is in Truth no sin or 
 separation from God. There is no condemnation. "Neither 
 do I condemn thee," is a test of knowledge and not of 
 prejudice.

 OF WHOLENESS 
 
 "God is the health of his people." 
 
 God is the One All ; there is nothing to resist. God is 
 Love ; there is no one to fear, none to find fault with. 
 
 All that is is Truth. All that I am is Truth. I am one 
 perfect whole, harmonious throughout. I am the Spirit 
 of health and harmony. All that I manifest is complete 
 within me. My conception is immaculate. My faith 
 (substance) reveals my wholeness. I enjoy life, freedom 
 and happiness. My body is the perfect expression of the 
 perfection I am. It has no Source or origin but perfect 
 Being. Every member is a member of righteousness and 
 power. Every atom it comprises is Life. Every atom is 
 eternal. All that is, is Spirit. "That which is born of 
 Spirit is spirit/' Now is my body spirit. In me all things 
 are reconciled. There is no adverse belief, condition or 
 disease, either in Me, my creative action or my creation. 
 I am eternal Life, never failing health. I know that so- 
 called sin, sickness and death, are not real. All erroneous 
 beliefs are forgiven or given up. I know all that live are 
 free from error. The gift of God is Eternal Life. Beside 
 Truth there is no law.

 (C I HAVE OVERCOME " 
 
 To overcome is to come over from the theory of becom- 
 ing to Being, and know the Truth of the correct relation 
 of Cause and effect existing between the Creator and crea- 
 tion. Being Source and Cause, is being that which in- 
 cludes all creation ; this is dominion. It is true that I am 
 hid with Christ in God ; my possibility is the possibility of 
 God idea; my existence is this possibility or idea made 
 manifest; for beside God there is none other. It is God 
 who says : "Be ye holy, because I am holy/' As God's 
 knowledge is omniscience there can be no knowledge that 
 it is not. 
 
 Knowledge is free from suffering, failure, and dissatis- 
 faction. For this reason, from the standpoint of at-one- 
 ment alone can the false sense of them be erased. It is 
 God, the Infinite One, who says, that to know self is to 
 know all there is to know. We are neither fruitless nor 
 deceived in claiming God-knowledge, absolute conscious- 
 ness of truth ; we are blessed of the Lord. True knowledge ' 
 is certain perception of the Truth of at-one-ment, the unity 
 of God.

 God is not what he is through choice. Man is not what 
 he is through choice. There is no optional nature to either 
 God or man. 
 
 The allness of the all cannot choose between two or more 
 different things what it will he. The I that I am beside 
 whom there is none, has no choice as to the nature of Be- 
 ing. It is the nature of wholeness, Infinitude of Knowl- 
 edge, Power and Presence, to express itself. This is done 
 within itself and unto itself. 
 
 Man is what he is just as God is what he is. As God is 
 life, love, truth, substance, intelligence and power, so am 
 I, life, love, truth, substance, intelligence and power. 
 Illumination is One. I am it ; I am concentration ; I am 
 self-poised, self-centered and free. I am in no way subject 
 to the law of cause and effect. I am it. There is no law 
 over me, none to come against me. For there is none that 
 I am not.

 To claim to possess the

 seeking, prevents the realiza-

 Whosoever believes that he

 TRUTH FOR GENERAL BODILY HEALING 
 
 My life, substance, intelligence and power is God ; there 
 is nothing more, and nothing less. I am what I am, whole, 
 perfect, without sin, or any disease, because God and God 
 manifest is all there is. 
 
 I have not sinned ; I do not fall short of Truth ; I have 
 not missed the mark of my high calling in Christ Jesus ; 
 I am not burdened with environments ; I am not heavy 
 laden with surrounding conditions ; I am not weak with 
 hope deferred ; I am in my Father's kingdom, enjoying 
 the power and glory of it ; I am free, here and now.

 FOR PERFECT SIGHT 
 
 I regard the holy presence of God within me sufficient 
 for all demonstration of sight, health and prosperity. 
 His presence within me is Omniscience, the All-seeing. 
 I cannot see apart from Omniscience, for I am not sepa- 
 rated from its Omnipresence, and in It my sight has never 
 failed ; it is not dimmed ; sight cannot fail ; my eyes are the 
 eyes of the all-seeing One; I see perfectly at this time. 
 I have sought and found. No conditions of the past or of 
 the present have any power to limit or environ me, no 
 seeming condition can possibly reach or mar the sight that 
 I am. I am ever and ever all-sufficient in God.

 FOR HEALING OF ALL ACUTE DISEASE 
 
 Suggested from the allegoric Truth of the second chap- 
 ter of Genesis, and used successfully by the author in 
 pneumonia, chest troubles and different acute conditions. 
 A river of God flows out to water the garden now; 
 from thence it becomes into Four heads. Your blood is 
 the first head. This river flows perfectly in every organ 
 and atom of your body. Your blood is a river of God. 
 Its rise and flow is God. It is the blood of God, the blood 
 
HEALTH TREATMENT 53 
 
 of life, the blood of love, of intelligence and power. It is 
 the blood of Christ, free, unobstructed, strong, pure and 
 healthy. The obstructions that seem to be are not real. 
 There is perfect circulation, and you are equalized from 
 head to foot, free in every part. 
 
 The second head of this river of God is breathing. God 
 now breathes the breath of life into you. Your breath has 
 its rise and flow in God. There is no obstruction, no con- 
 gestion. Your breath is the breath of God, of life, of love, 
 of intelligence and power. It is the breath of Christ, un- 
 obstructed, strong, pure, healthy and free. You breathe 
 freely, fully, deeply. Nothing binds nor limits your breath- 
 ing ; its power is permanent and unlimited. 
 
 The third head of this river of God, whose rise and 
 flow is God, is your perfect digestion and Assimilation. 
 God blends perfectly in you, and God-perfection is ex- 
 pressed perfectly in you now. You are One with God 
 and One w 7 ith your food, and are receiving, all that you do 
 receive, perfectly, and are giving off or forth perfectly of 
 what you have and are. There is a fourth head to this 
 river of God, which is perfect generation. These all 
 water every organ and atom of your body with the 
 water of life. There is now direct generation from God 
 in you ; you are quickened anew from head to foot, and 
 are perfect, whole, complete, healthy, full of the activ- 
 ity of Omnipotent power. You are a living son, radiat- 
 ing intelligence and health. These words of Truth are 
 strength to your body, health to every part, sight to 
 your eyes, and hearing to your ears.

 FOR PERFECT DIGESTION 
 
 "All Thine are mine and All mine are Thine." 
 
 The Glorious liberty of my body is that of a child of 
 God; which is heir of God and joint heir with Christ. 
 
 Digestion is Unity of Substance. Its source is God. 
 The food I digest is one with Me. There is no conflict 
 between Me and my food. There is perfect agreement and 
 assimilation. Whether eating or drinking I do all to the 
 glory of God. "I am the bread of Life." "I am the living 
 bread which came down from heaven." The bread that I 
 will give for the life of the world is my flesh. By eating 
 my flesh and drinking my blood I identify them with my- 
 self, and express therein the life that I am. 
 
 By thus eating I dw T ell in Christ, and Christ dwells in 
 me. This being perfect oneness, I am the Christ ; so the 
 law is now fulfilled that I live as the Father lives. 
 
 Explanation — Every one who applies this treatment sees 
 that he lives as I live, and that we are entirely free from 
 trying to digest food spiritually or literally supposed to be 
 acquired from a source other than what we are, or what the 
 I am is.

 BRIEF SUMMARY 
 
 Being* is God, is self-existing, the Fullness of the All. 
 Being is not subject to power, life or law. It is all power, 
 life and law. It is not subject to, dominated nor environed 
 by anything. The All in All knows nothing beside, 
 nothing to dominate nor environ. 
 
 Being is Inseparable; this proves man to be self- 
 existing, eternal, forever and ever conscious of be- 
 ing in and of the inseparable whole. The insepar- 
 ableness of the One Whole proves man to be higher 
 than he has, or can ever be placed by human mis- 
 belief or mortal misconception. God-idea is with God, 
 and is God, without which nothing is expressed that is 
 expressed. It is the whole of man; it is "Spirit," which 
 is both Soul and Body. It is life, substance, intelligence 
 and power. 
 
 Divine Science reveals a higher, broader and deeper 
 nature to man, and to all things, than any previous teach- 
 ing except that of Christ. It is absolute freedom from the 
 belief of the world's apostacy from God either by a fall 
 a supposition of becoming, a carnal or mortal mind, or a 
 lower self. 
 
 There are no elements in matter, so called, of disease, 
 lack or death, and no qualities but what are indestructible, 
 hence eternal. This compels us to see that matter in its 
 essential nature is free from disease, lack or death, and is 
 therefore the direct expression of Spirit. This is the true 
 standard consciousness which knows no corruption ; in 
 L.crfU. 
 
56 BASIC STATEMENTS 
 
 which "death is swallowed up of life"; in which the Uni- 
 verse is Spirit substance — One body : "we are all members 
 of the body of Christ." 
 
 For sin, sickness, and death to be real or to be any 
 part of man — the unit of Spirit, soul and body — they 
 would have to be qualities of God or elements of in- 
 destructible matter; in either case they would be self- 
 existing and eternal. 
 
 To see man as Spirit, at one with God, it is essential to 
 see the nothingness of all false beliefs, the nothingness of 
 nothing. To do this one should analyze them perfectly, 
 as it were, and as he sees that no place can be found for 
 them in the self-existing nature of Being, nor in the in- 
 destructible nature of the elements of matter, know that 
 they must fade away into their native nothingness. 
 There is no inharmony in expression ; inharmony is hu- 
 man misbelief, the want of a knowledge of the perfect 
 expression that is. Misbelief is out of harmony with 
 knowledge. Truth makes free. It proves the One 
 Whole to be free. How shall we dispose of matter in 
 Divine Science? By seeing the truth of it. How shall 
 we find freedom for our bodies ? By knowing the truth 
 of them. The Truth of anything is the freedom of it. 
 If there were no truth in body, there would be no 
 freedom of body. But instead there are Truth bodies 
 and bodies free, and we have found them, so let it be.
