HOW TO GET A DEMONSTRATION.

HOW TO GET A DEMONSTRATION.

Here is one way of solving a problem by Scientific Prayer, or, as we say in metaphysics, of getting a demonstration.

Get by yourself and be quiet for a few moments, once a day for several days, drop all your worries for the time being-this is absolutely essential-relax the body, and begin to think about God.

Ask Him to come into your mind, then remind yourself of some of the things you know about Him-that He is present everywhere, that He has all Power, that He knows and love and cares for you, and so forth…
You can even read a paragraph from any spiritual book that helps you.
During this stage it is important not to think about the problem, but to give your attention to God.
In other words, do not try to solve the problem directly (which would be using will power) but rather become interested in thinking of the Nature of God.

Then, ask the Great Universal Power to endow you with whatever thing you are most needing; whether that be health, or Peace of mind, or guidance, or a job, or even money, or what not.
Claim the thing that you need, claim it quietly and confidently, as you would ask for something to which you are entitled.

On no account must you give instructions to that Power, because it will not take them; and if you try to compel it, nothing will happen.
Be receptive.
Be open-minded.
Be humble.
Be patient.

Then give thanks for the accomplished fact, as you would if somebody handed you a gift.
Do not discuss your treatment with anyone.
Do your best not to be tense or hurried.
Tension and hurry delay the demonstration.

In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.

And you will see what you will see.
Something remarkable will happen.

I have nothing to deal with but my own thoughts.
