Holmes's Affirmation To Create Illness

Well-being Wholeness is our natural state, and wellness is the expression of wholeness. Illness refers to the suppression or lack of expression of that whole, healthy, state of being. We are always whole, perfect, complete beings. Illness is not a lack of wholeness. Illness is the lack of wellness. To be ill is to be unwell; not unwholesome or unholy. Illness should no longer be used as a description of our health, because the term carries forward the connotation of a morally lacking condition manifested as poor health. However, if we continue defining health in terms of wellness then illness and ills continue to be part of the conversation.

The Basic Ideas of Science of Mind, pg.
… The requirement is that you understand and obey the Law of infinite Mind. Whatever you believingly declare into Mind, and on which you act accordingly, is manifest in your affairs.”
The Basic Ideas of Science of Mind, pg. 83

Freedom is the ability to choose the principles by which one directs the conduct of their life. Freedom is not a matter of being in control of Life or one’s affairs. We do not have control; we have a choice. We do not choose our destination; we make choices that set our direction in life. We do not choose what we reap; we choose what to sow. We do not choose the consequences of our choices; nevertheless, every choice we make comes with unforeseen consequences, as well as those we have anticipated. We may think that when choosing a cause we are choosing an effect, but little do we know of the full effect of our choices. Unfortunately, ignorance of the effect will not excuse anyone from the consequences of their choices and their actions. Not knowing the future has never excused anyone from living with what each day brings. There is a Law involved, a principle of correspondence, which does not allow for control, but with which we may
