Text of the meditation
All human accomplishments were first worked out in thought, and then made objective. When the thought-forces are directed in harmony with the overruling Law, they are upbuilding and preservative, but when subverted they become disintegrating and self-destructive.
To adjust all your thoughts to a perfect and unswerving faith in the omnipotence and supremacy of Good is to cooperate with that Good, and to realise within yourself the solution and destruction of all evil. Believe, and you will live. And here we have the true meaning of salvation: salvation from the darkness and negation of evil, by entering into and realising the living light of the Eternal Good.
It is the silent and conquering thought-forces that bring all things into manifestation.
