Speaker 1 (00:01):
Chapter seventeen of the Science of Being Well by Wallace D. Wattles.
This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Read by
Daniel Sanchez, a summary of the science of Being well.
Health is perfectly natural, functioning, normal living. There is a
principle of life in the universe. It is the living

(00:24):
substance from which all things are made. This living substance permeates, penetrates,
and fills the interspaces of the universe. In its invisible state,
it is in and through all forms, and yet all
forms are made of it. To illustrate, suppose that a
very fine and highly diffusible aqueous vapor should permeate and

(00:47):
penetrate a block of ice. The ice is formed from
living water and is living water in form, while the
vapor is also living water, unformed permeating a made from itself.
This illustration will explain how living substance permeates all forms

(01:07):
made from it. All life comes from it. It is
all the life there is. This universal substance is a
thinking substance and takes the form of its thought. The
thought of a form held by it creates the form,
and the thought of a motion causes the motion. It

(01:28):
cannot help thinking, and so is forever creating, and it
must move on toward fuller and more complete expression of itself.
This means toward more complete life and more perfect functioning,
and that means toward perfect health. The power of the
living substance must always be exerted toward perfect health. It

(01:52):
is a force in all things making for perfect functioning.
All things are permeated by a power which makes for health.
Man can relate himself to this power and ally himself
with it. He can also separate himself from it in
his thoughts. Man is a form of this living substance

(02:13):
and has within him a principle of health. This principle
of health, when in full constructive activity, causes all the
involuntary functions of man's body to be perfectly performed. Man
is a thinking substance permeating a visible body, and the
processes of his body are controlled by his thought. When

(02:36):
man thinks only thoughts of perfect health, the internal processes
of his body will be those of perfect health. Man's
first step toward perfect health must be to form a
conception of himself as perfectly healthy, and as doing all
things in the way and manner of a perfectly healthy person.

(02:57):
Having formed this conception, he must relate himself to it
in all his thoughts and sever all thought relations with
disease and weakness. If he does this, and thinks his
thoughts of health with positive faith, man will cause the
principle of health within him to become constructively active and

(03:17):
to heal all his diseases. He can receive additional power
from the universal principle of life by faith, and he
can acquire faith by looking to this principle of life
with reverence gratitude for the health it gives him. If
man will consciously accept the health which is being continually
given to him by the living substance, and if he

(03:40):
will be duly grateful, therefore he will develop faith. Man
cannot think only thoughts of perfect health unless he performs
the voluntary functions of life in a perfectly healthy manner.
These voluntary functions are eating, drinking, breathing, and sleeping. If
man thinks only thoughts of health, has faith in health,

(04:03):
and eats, drinks, breathes and sleeps in a perfectly healthy way,
he must have perfect health. Health is the result of
thinking and acting in a certain way, and if a
sick man begins to think and act. In this way,
the principle of health within him will come into constructive
activity and heal all his diseases. This principle of health

(04:27):
is the same in all and is related to the
life principle of the universe. It is able to heal
every disease and will come into activity whenever man thinks
and acts in accordance with the Science of being Well.
Therefore every man can attain to perfect health. End of
