1. Mental sculpture 

The sculptor turns from the marble to his model in order to perfect his conception. We are all sculptors, working at various forms, molding and chiseling thought. What is the model before mortal mind? Is it imperfection, joy, sorrow, sin, suffering?
Have you accepted the mortal model? Are you reproducing it? Then you are haunted in your work by vicious sculptors and hideous forms. Do you not hear from all mankind of the imperfect model? The world is holding it before your gaze continually. The result is that you are liable to follow those lower patterns, limit your life- work, and adopt into your experience the angular outline and deformity of matter models. [SH 248]


2. Choose ye to-day

Dear reader, which mind-picture or externalized thought shall be real to you, — the material or the spiritual?
Both you cannot have. You are bringing out your own ideal.  This ideal is either temporal or eternal. Either Spirit or matter is your model. If you try to have two models, then you practically have none.
Like a pendulum in a clock, you will be thrown back and forth, striking the ribs of matter and swinging between the real and the unreal. [SH 360]

3. Immortal memory

If delusion says, "I have lost my memory," contradict it. No faculty of Mind is lost. In Science, all being is eternal, spiritual, perfect, harmonious in every action. Let the perfect model be present in your thoughts instead of its demoralized opposite. This spiritualiz...ation of thought lets in the light, and brings the divine Mind, Life not death, into your consciousness. [SH 407]
