results, you are caught up in the mental struggle that is not filled with the
Presence.
The Presence is present in everyone and this is the source of your healing.
Therefore you have to realize the Presence in which there is no separation
and not the projection of thought to the individual with a background of sickness
in mind, for this is the tree that has its roots only in man’s mind and has no
real existence like the Tree of Life has, which is the Presence.
Thus you will readily see if you do not really understand that love, Life

will reveal the true meaning of the Presence.
Jesus was healing at the time when Jairus approached him and because
of the Father’s grief Jesus paused in his teaching and turned towards the house
where the little girl lay. One could imagine the throng of people that followed
him to see this, another miracle so everyone was jostling one another and pressing
closely around the Master.
The Master’s mind was made up. He was sure, purposeful, the realization of
the Presence was at its height. His whole being was charged with the Life
