AFFIRMATIONS

I deny any appearance of disorder. This dog is a perfect idea in Divine Mind and now expresses God’s perfect Idea of a perfect dog.

Infinite Intelligence illumines and directs this animal. It is a perfect idea in Divine Mind and is always in its right place.

In brief

Every creature is a perfect idea in Divine Mind, and the spoken word calls that idea into expression. Read the summaryHide the summary

Every creature is a perfect idea in Divine Mind, and the spoken word calls that idea into expression. Shinn gives two short affirmations for animals. The first denies any appearance of disorder in a dog and declares it the expression of God's perfect Idea of a perfect dog. The second places the animal under the illumination and direction of Infinite Intelligence, always in its right place. Like the rest of the book's formulas, they are meant to be spoken over the situation rather than argued about.

Key ideas

  • Shinn begins with denial: the appearance of disorder is refused before the truth is affirmed.
  • Each animal exists as a perfect idea in Divine Mind, and that idea is what the word calls forth.
  • Infinite Intelligence illumines and directs the creature, so it is always in its right place.
  • The same wand of the word that serves health and supply serves the household's animals.
