This Substance creates by thought, and its method is by taking the form
of that which it thinks about. The thought of a form held by this
substance causes it to assume that form; the thought of a motion causes
it to institute that motion. Forms are created by this substance in
moving itself into certain attitudes or positions. When Original
Substance wishes to create a given form, it thinks of the motions which
will produce that form. When it wishes to create a world, it thinks of
the motions, perhaps extending through ages, which will result in its
coming into the attitude and form of the world; and these motions are
made. When it wishes to create an oak tree, it thinks of the sequences
of movement, perhaps extending through ages, which will result in the
form of an oak tree; and these motions are made. The particular
sequences of motion by which differing forms should be produced were
established in the beginning; they are changeless. Certain motions
instituted in the Formless Substance will forever produce certain forms.
Man's body is formed from the Original Substance, and is the result of
certain motions, which first existed as thoughts of Original Substance.
The motions which produce, renew, and repair the body of man are called
functions, and these functions are of two classes: voluntary and
involuntary. The involuntary functions are under the control of the
Principle of Health in man, and are performed in a perfectly healthy
manner so long as man thinks in a certain way. The voluntary functions
of life are eating, drinking, breathing, and sleeping. These, entirely
or in part, are under the direction of man's conscious mind; and he can
perform them in a perfectly healthy way if he will. If he does not
perform them in a healthy way, he cannot long be well. So we see that if
man thinks in a certain way, and eats, drinks, breathes, and sleeps in a
corresponding way, he will be well.
The involuntary functions of man's life are under the direct control of
the Principle of Health, and so long as man thinks in a perfectly
healthy way, these functions are perfectly performed; for the action of
the Principle of Health is largely directed by man's conscious thought,
affecting his sub-conscious mind.
