Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Chapter eight of the Science of BeingWell by Wallace D. Waddles. This
LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Read by Daniel Sanchez. Summary of
the mental actions. Let me nowsummarize the mental actions and attitudes necessary to
the practice of the Science of BeingWell. First, you believe that there

(00:25):
is a thinking substance from which allthings are made, and which, in
its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
This substance is the life of all, and is seeking to express more
life in all. It is theprinciple of life of the universe and the
principle of health in man. Manis a form of this substance and draws

(00:50):
his vitality from it. He isa mind body of original substance, permeating
a physical body, and the thoughtsof his mind body control the functioning of
his physical body. If man thinksno thoughts save those of perfect health,
the functions of his physical body willbe performed in a manner of perfect health.

(01:12):
If you would consciously relate yourself tothe all health, your purpose must
be to live fully on every planeof your being. You must want all
there is in life for body mindand soul, and this will bring you
into harmony with all the life thereis. The person who is in conscious

(01:34):
and intelligent harmony with all will receivea continuous inflow of vital power from the
supreme life. And this inflow isprevented by angry, selfish, or antagonistic
mental attitudes. If you are againstany part, you have severed relations with
all. You will receive life,but only instinctively and automatically, not in

(01:59):
tell diligently and purposefully. You cansee that if you are mentally antagonistic to
any part, you cannot be incomplete harmony with the whole. Therefore,
as Jesus directed, be reconciled toeverybody and everything. Before you offer worship,
want for everybody all that you wantfor yourself. The reader is recommended

(02:23):
to read what we have said ina former work concerning the competitive mind and
the creative mind. It is verydoubtful whether one who has lost health can
completely regain it so long as heremains in the competitive mind. The science
of getting rich being on the creativeor good will plain in mind. The

(02:45):
next step is to form a conceptionof yourself as in perfect health, and
to hold no thoughts which are notin full harmony with this conception. Have
faith that if you think only thoughtsof health, you will establish in your
physical body the functioning of health.And use your will to determine that you

(03:05):
will think only thoughts of health.Never think of yourself as sick or as
likely to be sick. Never thinkof sickness in connection with yourself at all,
and as far as may be,shut out of your mind all thoughts
of sickness in connection with others.Surround yourself as much as possible with the
things which suggest the ideas of strengthand health. Have faith in health and

(03:30):
accept health as an actual, presentfact in your life. Claim health as
a blessing bestowed upon you by theSupreme Life, and be deeply grateful at
all times. Claim the blessing byfaith, know that it is yours,
and never admit a contrary thought toyour mind. Use your will power to

(03:52):
withhold your attention from every appearance ofdisease in yourself and others. Do not
study disease, think about it,nor speak of it. At all times.
When the thought of disease is thrustupon you, move forward into the
mental position of prayerful gratitude. Foryour perfect health. The mental actions necessary

(04:13):
to being well may now be summedup in a single sentence. Form a
conception of yourself in perfect health,and think only those thoughts which are in
harmony with that conception. That,with faith and gratitude and the purpose to
really live, covers all the requirements. It is not necessary to take mental

(04:34):
exercises of any kind, except asdescribed in chapter six, or to do
wearying stunts in the way of affirmationsand so on. It is not necessary
to concentrate the mind on the affectedparts. It is far better not to
think of any parts as affected.It is not necessary to treat yourself by

(04:55):
autosuggestion or to have others treat youin any way. Whatever. The power
that heals is the principle of healthwithin you, and to call this principle
into constructive action. It is onlynecessary, having harmonized yourself with the all
mind, to claim by faith theall health, and to hold that claim

(05:16):
until it is physically manifested in allthe functions of your body. In order
to hold this mental attitude of faith, gratitude, and health, however,
your external acts must be only thoseof health. You cannot long hold the
internal attitude of a well person.If you continue to perform the external acts

(05:39):
of a sick person, it isessential not only that your every thought should
be a thought of health, butthat your every act should be an act
of health, performed in a healthymanner. If you will make every thought
a thought of health, and everyconscious act an act of health, it
must infallibly follow that every an internaland unconscious function shall come to be healthy.

(06:03):
For all the power of life isbeing continually exerted toward health. We
shall next consider how you make everyact an act of health. End of Chapter eight
