If you feel weak in any sense, affirm “I am strong,” and if you persist in that assumption it will harden into fact. No one should ever take the name of the Lord in vain, for that name is I AM. The righteous man is already conscious of being the person he wants to be. He never sins, but runs into the name, for sinning is missing his desired state, and righteousness is hitting it. “I will set him on high because he knows my name.” Assume the consciousness of being the one you want to be and you will be saved from your present state. Your individual hunger can and will be satisfied when you run righteously into the state desired. This is done through the act of feeling. Feel happy and you are conscious of happiness. Feel married and you have consciously moved into the state of marriage. The thing desired must be felt before you are conscious of possessing it.
This teaching outlines the law of assumption: persistently affirming and feeling the desired state ('I AM strong,' 'I AM happy') causes it to 'harden into fact.' 'Sinning' is missing this desired state, while 'righteousness' is hitting it. The act of feeling is crucial for moving into and possessing the desired state in consciousness.
