APPLYING MENTAL LAW TO YOUR LIFE

It would not be fair for anyone else to impose any beliefs upon you. Your personal beliefs are your own business.

It is a fact however, that some beliefs are more useful to you than others; and if you want peace, health, prosperity and joy in your life, then your beliefs can either bring you to that or can hinder you.

The Science of Mind® teaching proposes beliefs that are liberating instead of enslaving, that are based on you taking responsibility for your thinking instead of looking to others to tell you what to think.

It is an important thing for you to learn to choose and to change your belief, so that your beliefs can be examined by you, directed by you in useful ways, and translated by you into a happier, better life.

The same truths taught in Mental Science study can be found in the Bible, but we know that those truths can also be found elsewhere in the great literature and philosophy of the ages. Accordingly, it is good to learn to take the truth from wherever you find it.

There are aspects of Law that are hard for some to grasp. There are passages of the Bible and other literature that are hard to follow as well. One quote that I like from Ernest S. Holmes is this:

"If a thing is true, then there is a WAY in which it is true, and once we undertand the way, we will see the truth of it."

Learn to trust your own intelligence and understanding. Do not accept anything automatically without giving it some thought. I recommend Emerson's Essay on "Self-Reliance" as a model.
