From The Infinite Way by Joel Goldsmith:

No more will you fear conditions or circumstances seemingly outside of you or beyond your control.  Now you know that all that can transpire in your experience is occurring within your consciousness and, therefore, is subject to its government and control.

It is not that Spirit produces or heals or corrects matter or the physical universe, but that we rise higher in consciousness to where there is less matter and, therefore, less discord, inharmony, disease, or lack.

It may at first appear difficult to achieve the state of consciousness wherein the laws of our inner being come into tangible expression.  We will achieve it, however, in proportion to our ability to relax mentally, to gain an inner calm and peace, and therein quietly contemplate the revelations which come to us from within.

As the realization of our dominion dawns in thought, more assurance, confidence, and certainty become evident.  We become a new being, and the world reflects back to us our own higher attitude toward it.

We can take possession of our affairs only as we consciously realize that they are the effect of our own consciousness, the image and likeness of our own being, the manifestation or expression of our divine Self.

That which we seem to be seeking is ever-present within us, and already manifested, and we need to know this truth.  All good already is, and is forever manifested.  The recognition of this truth is answered prayer.
