The Will is of such primary importance that the student should be on his guard against any mistake as to the position which it holds in the mental economy. Many writers and teachers insist on will-power as though that were the creative faculty. No doubt intense will-power can evolve certain external results, but like all other methods of compulsion it lacks the permanency of natural growth. The appearances, forms, and conditions produced by mere intensity of will-power will only hang together so long as the compelling force continues; but let it be exhausted or withdrawn, and the elements thus forced into unnatural combination will at once fly back to their proper affinities; the form created by compulsion never had the germ of vitality in itself and is therefore dissipated as soon as the external energy which supported it is withdrawn. The mistake is in attributing the creative power to the will, or perhaps I should say in attributing the creative power to ourselves at all. The truth is that man never creates anything. His function is, not to create, but to combine and distribute that which is already in being, and what we call our creations are new combinations of already existing material, whether mental or corporeal.”
Judge Thomas Troward

Treatment
"God loves the positive person, for then all of Mind has a free outlet for Its Ideas. Knowing this, I become the person God loves, and all right action uses me as a center of distribution. To me comes the holy purpose, and from me flows the healing power. I heal myself and others. I think health, act as health, and speak health at all times. I am no longer sick, tired or worn out. God in me is positive life, health, and vitality. I radiate the positive. I rejoice in the power of right thinking. My whole experience is now changed into greater good, and my thinking expands it forevermore. I dedicate my mind to His, and I rejoice in positive results"
