| | | | want. |
| The universe is perfect the way it is. It is | | | | |
| the matrix from which all forms of life | | | | The mind commands the universe to create by |

| incorrect. The line filled paper with its | | | | not work, and it takes us away from the true |

| To say that "healing the universe is an | | | | it makes us feel good to say them and it |
