it functions as two states of consciousness: one in the flesh, the other in the Spirit. But the mind of the Spirit is the source of all.

In daily worship it is well to impress upon the sensitive mind that it is unified with Divine Mind through Christ, through the same mind that was in Christ Jesus.

I separate myself in consciousness from the mind of the flesh, that I may enter into the mind that was in Christ Jesus.

First we disentangle our thoughts from the flesh and lift our consciousness up to Spirit. We hold them steady in spiritual consciousness until they begin to get hold of Spirit essence, Spirit power, Spirit love. Everything that we see in the manifest comes from this one Spirit-mind; so it is well to hold this affirmation until the most sacred ethers respond to our realization:

I separate myself in consciousness from the mind of the flesh, that I may enter into the mind that was in Christ Jesus.

When considering the value of prayer and realization we call to mind the case of Jacob and Esau receiving the blessing of their father Isaac.
