Clients often say, "OK, I understand the Principles: Mind, Consciousness and Thought.  We create our own thinking and then see it as real via Consciousness because of the formless power of Mind.  But I still don't feel any better."  The Principles are words, metaphors that explain the logic of how human beings come to experience reality.  "Learning" that intellectually does not in any way change people's experience.  UNDERSTANDING the Principles at work arises from finding the deeply spiritual feelings of contentment and love.  Then we REALIZE the Principles at work, and see for ourselves the power of creating our realities.  That's why Sydney Banks always urges us to "listen for the feeling."
