WE cross over the threshold into consciousness just to the degree of our belief in the spoken word. There is a narrow state of consciousness which refuses to venture until it sees results. It says: “I cannot step forward because I have never tried to do so. I have not faith because I have not proof. I have never healed by my spoken word, therefore I can not believe it possible for me."

However, there is another state of consciousness which dares to do. It induces a link by rushing forth into the unknown in conquest, supported by a faith that this urge is directing it somewhere to greater realization.

It is this state of consciousness that we are endeavoring to teach you the necessity of inducing.

You need not continue to express in the narrow orbit in which you have lived. You can swing out. You can learn to induct faith, not by waiting for it to appear within you, but by knowing you have a need and that the supply which called forth a search must exist. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." “According to thy faith be it unto thee.”

If there were a Fate sitting for one, his faith differing in degree from that of another, this teaching would be useless. But we know that the germs of possibility latent in every being are equal; that man's nature is divine; that out of God-stuff was created all that is.

In a drop is contained all of the nature of the ocean. So in man lie all of the potentialities of which God is the manifestation. God speaks and His word is Law. God thinks and His creation is formed. God knoweth and it is.

So it is with this urge in man accompanied by the consciousness which knows that his word is law, and that according to his faith will it be unto him.

One who knows harmony to be the law, speaks words of harmony, love, strength and heals by the spoken word, is living the law.

It is for every one to express the powers, to hold communion over all things.

If faith measures for us our all, is it not essential that we strive to comprehend the nature of faith and the power to induce and use it? Does it not behoove us to turn our attention to this fountain within us from whence springs unconquerable faith, apparently without reason?

A vibrant faith will lead us over stumbling blocks to heights we never could attain without it. If the present faith which we do not comprehend is so potent, should we not feel constrained to induce it in larger volume that it may transmute fear, doubt, ignorance, all limitation into sublime knowing?

We can induct wisdom, love and power. Nothing is more essential than a knowledge of the power of faith. Is it a reasoning process? No. It transcends reason, which could be conveyed through the cells of the brain. It transcends appearances. Faith encourages faith, induces faith, sustains faith and abides in consciousness of eternal reality.
