God-consciousness

God is the first and last movement, creation, action in only extension as Love. No beginning nor end, ever present, ever available in all the forms of space and time.

An understanding and practice of the the workbook lessons is one way of rising into the true atmosphere of prayer and God-consciousness.

Application means consciously knowing the truth and applying the principles of truth through the instrument of the mind, and the first step is to establish yourself in your true identity as I, that I which has dominion over mind and body. Until you do that, you cannot give or receive a correct treatment.

You were given both a mind and a body. The mind is not you, nor is the body: I am you, the I which is your true identity.

Your mind and your body are something that you possess. The mind is the instrument, which you use for thinking or reasoning purposes or for any purpose of awareness, and it is through your mind that you are able to judge and make decisions.


The body is also an instrument, a physical instrument, which takes it orders from you through the mind. You say to your hand, “Up,” and the mind communicates that to the hand; the hand obeys the mind, which in its turn obeys you, indicating that you must have control over both mind and body.
