The Elements
Man is made in God's likeness and image (
Imagination
) and is given power and dominion over all created things.
He has power to "
rebuke the winds and the waves,
" check floods or bring rain when it is needed.
There is a tribe of American Indians who live in the desert country and depend on the power of prayer only, to bring rain to water their crops.
They have a rain dance, which is a form of prayer, but no chief is allowed to take part who has any fear.
They give exhibitions of courage before they are admitted to the ceremonies.
A woman, who was an eye-witness, told me that out of a blue sky came "a deluge of rain; the sun still shining"
.
Fire
Affirmation
Fire is man's friend and is always in its right place doing its right work
.
Drought
Affirmation
There is no drought in Divine Mind. I give thanks for the right amount of rain to nourish these crops or garden.
I see clearly this gentle downpour and the manifestation is "now"
.
Storms
Affirmation
The Christ within now rebukes the winds and the waves and there comes a great calm.
I see clearly peace established on land and sea.
