• Demonstration occurs when we have realized
  something in consciousness and then it manifests
  itself in the outer.
• Three steps in every demonstration
• Recognition of Truth.
• Holding an idea.
• Acknowledging fulfillment.

Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10B Consciousness
• Must raise consciousness to higher levels of
  understanding.
• Understanding comes through appropriation of
  divine ideas and the realization of Truth beyond
  intellectual concepts.
• As we raise consciousness, it becomes easier
  and easier to demonstrate.
• One aspect is awareness of beliefs and
  attitudes that hinder spiritual growth.

• Give thanks prior to prayers, prior to
  demonstration.
• Gratitude increases in our awareness.
• We put God first by being grateful that Spirit
  is always present and available.

Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10E Faith
• Scripture tells us, Now faith is the assurance
  of things hoped for, the conviction of things not
  seen (Heb. 111).
• Faith is the activating faculty that is the
  impetus of moving divine ideas from the unseen to
  the seen.
• We must have faith that what we want to
  demonstrate is already ours in consciousness and
  that we can manifest it in the relative realm.

7
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10F Divine Ideas
• Formless in the higher levels of being.
• Under law of mind action, ideas take on form.
• We experience a divine idea directly by
• 1) believing in the idea, and 2) becoming
  totally willing toward the idea and affirming it.
• Demonstration occurs as our minds appropriate
  divine ideas and we give them form and location
  in time and space.

8
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10G Love
• should permeate all human desires and efforts.
• is the harmonizing, unifying power that heals
  and transforms all situations.
• like peace, can only be established by
  individuals.
• As we become more loving, we fulfill our
  responsibility of individuality.

Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10H Harmony
• Harmonize yourself with the Christ Mind and be
  determined to see only harmony everywhere.
• Give no power to any seeming difference, and
  give up any attachments to divisions.
• Believe in harmony, and be totally willing
  toward harmony affirm it, and claim it.

10
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10I Joy/Cheerfulness
• Manifestations and evidence that our free and
  open minds are stayed on God.
• It dissolves uneasiness, fears, doubts, and
  discouraged states of mind.
• This puts us squarely in contact with divine
  ideas and substance.

• Divine Love, through me,
• blesses and multiplies
• all that I am,
• all that I give,
• and all that I receive.
• Thank you, Father-Mother God

12
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10J Fear and the Negative Side
• In addition to never considering the negative
  side, we also must not become fearful because of
  the negative side.
• Identifying with the negative or being fearful
  of it blocks demonstration.
• Being aware of our fears and the negative
  aspect of anything is our first step in
  overcoming them.
• Once identified, use denials and affirmations
  to raise consciousness from fear to love, from
  false to true.

13
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10K Nonresistance
• The adversary comes as opposition,
  difficulties, delays, or challenges.
• Resisting, resenting, and fighting the
  adversary only increase it in consciousness.
• Through nonresistance, we choose to learn from
  life and become aware of the inner presence and
  power of God.
• We are not to attack life but to learn and grow
  from it.
• This realization helps us meet challenges with
  inner peace and spiritual poise.

14
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10L Forgiveness and Repentance
• Any unforgivingness can block demonstration.
• What we hold against ourselves and others keeps
  us focused on the outer and not on the inner.
• Forgiveness and repentance mean changing our
  minds and resolving to think and act according to
  divine law.
• We put the realization of Truth in the place of
  error.

15
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10M The Law of Visualization/See the Good
• We are to affirm the presence of the Good at
  all times and under all circumstances.
• Even if one cannot see any trace of it, the
  potential for good is somehow, someway, there.
• Everyone, as the Christ, has the potential and
  power to bring forth and manifest good from any
  situation.
• Perceive it, affirm its presence, and give
  thanks in advance for its revelation, and we
  experience good.

16
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10N Praise and Blessing
• The resources of Spirit are beyond our highest
  flights of imagination.
• If we can keep this in mind, we will learn to
  trust Spirit more than ever.
• Rise above all doubt or mistrust and enter
  joyously into a consciousness of praise and
  thanksgiving.
• What we focus on and praise increases.

17
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 100 Meditation
• Daily meditation is imperative for spiritual
  growth.
• When we invest time in the silence, we know
  oneness.
• Meditation will keep us in a state of
  reciprocity to the divine ideas of Spirit.
• Meditation becomes more enjoyable and
  beneficial as we continue to practice it.
• Illumination, expanded viewpoints, and many
  other insights can be experienced in the minds of
  those who meditate.

18
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10P Prayer
• Prayer is a continual process of praise,
  thanksgiving, and claiming what is already true
  in God Mind.
• God is always more willing to give than we are
  willing to receive.
• When we get this, prayer becomes a joyous
  experience.
• Three ways to fulfill the law of the Word
  (prayer)
• 1) giving thanks in advance
• 2) asking
• 3) affirming

19
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10Q Concentration
• Do not to confuse true concentration with
  strained attention.
• True concentration is keeping an idea or a goal
  like prosperity or wholeness secure in mind.
• Erratic changes in mind can interfere with
  concentration. Intelligent changes of mind can
  actually be part of real concentration.
• True concentration can be quite relaxed

20
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10R Realization
• Invest time in meditation and prayer so that
  realization may occur.
• Whatever it we wish to demonstrate, we must
  first realize it and see it accomplished in
  consciousness.
• When we realize something in consciousness it
  is when we know that we know that it is done.

21
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10S The Creative Power of Thought
• Cannot be overestimated.
• Through our thoughts, we create the experience
  of our world.
• Power of our thought linked with the power of
  the word is a mighty tool to change our
  experience of the world and demonstrate what we
  want.

22
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10T The Word and the Spoken Word
• The words we use are linked to our thoughts.
• Choose words that are the seeds of what we want
  to manifest.
• Speak these words with power, authority, and
  dominion.

23
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10U Denials and Affirmations
• Denials and affirmations are specific practices
  to activate the power of our thoughts, the word,
  and the spoken word.
• We would deny that any negative appearance has
  power over us and affirm the Truth.
• We use denials to brush away obstacles and
  affirmations to claim that which is already ours
  in consciousness.

24
Chapter TenKeys to Demonstration

• 10V Patience and Trust
• Working things out into physicality can take
  time.
• Patience and trust help us remain focused on
  the truth that God is our Truth, Source, and
  Supply.
