In September Journal is the following question: "How can we destroy the habit of formulated treatments, and a growing habit of lengthy treatments?"
For a long time after I began to practise, the unreal was so much more realized than the real, that certain, careful steps in scientific argument (called formulated treatments) were necessary to bring me into that state of consciousness which recognizes that man is whole.
But, "material beliefs disappearing and spiritual facts appearing," has gradually lifted me above this necessity. Part of the time, when I have not succeeded in putting behind me the Satan, ever saying, "I am something," I am obliged to take those same careful steps. But more frequently the sum total of the argument, that God has no opposite in Creator or Creation; but that Being (God) and His highest expression (man) includes all— holds me in a peace and certainty, that I would necessarily deny were I to go back and argue up to what is a settled fact to my consciousness. In short, we cannot drop argument until we so live that error's clamor disturbs us not.
