A prayer is a movement of thought for a specific purpose in the mind of the one praying.  By mind, we mean consciousness.  There are two aspects to mind — objective and subjective.  The objective houses the conscious use of mind.  The subjective acts upon our thoughts and is a creative use of mind.  It is responsive to and set in  motion by the conscious mind. All thought is creative.  The Science of Mind  by Ernest Holmes

If all thought is creative, how does one explain a major disaster, or what appears to be evil or intentional harm to whole communities of people?  To whose thoughts might generational poverty, crime, or hunger be attributed?  Are these events the result of divine cause and effect? Sowing and reaping?  Karma?  Have the victims engaged in a conscious and collective use of “creative thought” to their own detriment?  Has their collective thought yielded a multi-generational effect upon their community culture?

If all thought is creative, how might the creative thought process be applied to a community that lacks conscious awareness of its creative power?
