there must come the important decision I Will! Now comes the tug of war, the point where so many fail. They will to do, and do not. Having willed, you must put that decision into the keeping of the Will, and know, that at that moment you possess the thing desired. The affirmation for this, be it a thing desired, is I have! Be it an action, the Affirmation is I do! Do you desire health? Follow the evolution of the thought thus:

I have power to heal myself because Infinite Life finds expression through me. Being infinite I can heal myself. Because I can, and desire it, I will! Because I have the power, desire and will, and have so decreed I am healed."

From the moment you make this decision let not that mental picture of health pass from your mind. The healing must begin at Cause, which is your mind, and the effect will show as health in your body.

This desire for expression is seen in children. They want to do something. Wise parents and teachers give them something to do. Soul demands expression. When it is denied to children in a channel we desire for them, they take the one that offers, and we call it mischief, if we do not brand it, evil. But remember the law of all force. It moves in the line of least resistance. Human desire is a manifestation of force. It will move in the easiest line if not directed. The same tendency to do, and to let, blind desire lead them is seen in grown people. What to do?" is their cry. And when there is not purpose, direction and self-control, they move in ways we deem unwise. Ills, evils and crimes are but the results of undirected desire. All desire will find expression. It says: --- "I'll find a way or make one!"
