 When a student is able to let go of his problem (cast his burden) he will have instantaneous manifestation.

For example: A woman was out during a very stormy day and her umbrella was blown inside-out. She was about to make a call on some people whom she had never met and she did not wish to make her first appearance with a dilapidated umbrella. She could not throw it away, as it did not belong to her. So in desperation, she exclaimed: “Oh, God, you take charge of this umbrella, I don’t know what to do.”

A moment later, a voice behind her said: “Lady, do you want your umbrella mended?” There stood an umbrella mender.

She replied, “Indeed, I do.”

The man mended the umbrella, while she went into the house to pay her call, and when she returned, she had a good umbrella. So there is always an umbrella mender at hand, on man’s pathway, when one puts the umbrella (or situation) in God’s Hands.

One should always follow a denial with an affirmation.

For example: I was called on the ’phone late one night to treat a man whom I had never seen. He was apparently very ill. I made the statement: “I deny this appearance of disease. It is unreal, therefore cannot register in his consciousness; this man is a perfect idea in Divine Mind, pure substance expressing perfection.”

There is no time or space, in Divine Mind, therefore the word reaches instantly its destination
