When We Are Strong (John 5:19)

     “The Son can do nothing of himself.” We are strong only as we are in unity with good, which is God. But the Father showeth the Son, that is, it is revealed to us, through the innermost parts of our being, that there is a complete unity, a perfect wholeness. As this concept of unity takes place, it brings with it great authority. The Father quickens the Son, the Son quickens whom he will.
     Here is the lesson in the practical application of the Science of Mind. As the subjective state of thought becomes unified with goodness and love, it automatically reflects these in whatsoever direction the thought goes. The tendency of this inner thought sets the tendency of the outward life.
     Let us make this plan. IF ONE IS NOTY ATTRACTING GOOD INTO HIS LIFE, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS UNCONSCIOUS THINKING. The subjective state of his thought is wrong. As the subjective state of his thought constitutes the sum total of his belief, it is his habitual attitude toward life and living. This inner thought content is the sole medium between Absolute and relative, between causes and conditions.
     When this inner thought is clarified, that is, when it knows the truth, it will reinstate the outer man in peace, poise, health, and happiness. This inner y=thought becomes clarified as we unify with good; this is the inner quickening. Following this is the outer quickening – the outward sign of inner belief.
