Spiritual Mind Treatment
How Religious Scientists Pray?
Our idea of prayer is based on the fact that there
is a supreme Intelligence, God, Mind, or Consciousness
that is ultimate Reality, which is both the source of
and is all things. The physical world as we know it
is the word or thought of God made manifest. and the
manner in which the "word" becomes tangible
is through the orderly process of Law; another way of
saying God acts in an orderly and consistent fashion.
From this foundation, we have discovered that our own
minds are individual expressions of the One Mind, and
that, as a result of this, our words or thoughts are
similarly creative. God is ever going forth into new
expression; and every word we speak, every thought we
think is a further creative activity of God at the level
of our expression of God. Our form of effective prayer
is called Spiritual Mind Treatment and is based upon
a faith that is logical and scientific; an attitude
of mind and the fact that the Universe is a system of
Law and Order. The Law of Mind always responds according
to our thought and acts specifically on what we include
in our treatment, no more and no less. We believe all
prayers are answered, although not always in the way
we would like, but always according to the individual's
pattern of thinking and conviction at the time.
