Within your mind there is a power supply that is very resourceful; however, depending on which power supply line you tap into there are limitations which must be overcome. These limitations can be overcome through a realization of the Truth. When we say this it is taken for granted that every effort will be made on the physical plane. It is necessary to bathe, exercise and breathe fresh air in order to be well: it is equally necessary to work hard, and to give the best of which we are capable, in service, in exchange for that which we receive in the way of supply, if we are to be successful. If you keep a gardener, you must pay him. The money that you pay him is part of what you have earned by the sweat of your brain. Therefore you exchange the work of your brain for the labor of his hands, and you are mutually helped and helpful to one another, both giving and receiving, and each one serving life according to his ability. Taking all this for granted, we will pass on to the metaphysical side of our subject. This, by the way, is vastly the more important, but the outer, practical work is indispensable nevertheless.
In order to overcome limitations it is necessary to tap into the right power supply line and know the Truth and to live in the consciousness of It. For instance, if ill-health is our limitation, then, in order to become free it is necessary that we live in the consciousness of the Wholeness of God and His Divine Idea. If our limitation be restricted means, it is necessary that we live in the consciousness of the inexhaustible and unlimited nature of the Substance from which the Creator brings everything into manifestation. If our limitation is disharmony and unhappiness, then we must become attuned to the Divine harmony in such a way and to such an extent as to cause it to be reflected into the outward life. No matter what our limitation may be, we can find liberation and deliverance by looking to our Divine Source, realizing that in the Perfect Reality all our wants are supplied, and then living in the consciousness of the truth.
Ill-health is, apart from the physical cause, an outward sign of an inward warfare or disharmony, caused by tapping into the wrong power supply line and creating wrong thoughts, emotions, beliefs and attitude of mind and soul towards life and God. In other words, the life is lived in an "error" consciousness of disease and sickness. First, the inward life has to be adjusted in such a way as to harmonize with the laws of our own being and the Divine purpose of life. You must tap into the right power supply line and surrender inward to the love principle, after which the thoughts must be brought under control so that health-destroying emotions may no longer impair the health. If this course is preserved, a consciousness of health and wholeness becomes a permanent mental state, with the result the health becomes manifested in the life. The outward life is always a reflection or external manifestation of what we are within. Therefore everything depends upon which power supply line you are tapping into.
