enemies had nailed Him to the cross, had apparently crushed His fondest
ambition, had scorned and reviled the Kingdom of which He had spoken,
and had tortured Him as He hung on the cross, He uttered the immortal,
lovable, constructive words which have rung throughout the centuries,
and will continue to bless all mankind throughout eternity: "Father,
forgive them, for they know not what they do."

So those who would try to block my way, curb my progress or put thorns
in my crown are doing so "not knowing what they are doing." "Whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Instead of hurting me, they are
sowing weed seeds, which shall bring forth a harvest of weeds and tares
in their own lives, and not in mine.

I, therefore, do not wish them harm, nor think that they should feel
the reaction. I do not have to concern myself about the negative people
in the world--for the law takes care of them.

I shall always think constructive thoughts, harmonious thoughts and
loving thoughts. "My Subconscious Mind, I desire and command you to
have peace, harmony and justice reign, and know that all things are now
working together for the good of my would-be enemies and for myself."

I relax (here pause and wait), take time for meditation (here pause and
rest relaxed) and I become happy in the silence--holding my thought of
peace, harmony and justice reigning in the hearts of men
everywhere--and, as I relax and wait, I feel my vibrations rise. I am
resting at ease, in faith. (Pause.) I am perfectly calm and contented.
(Pause.) I am sending out love, peace and harmonious thoughts, and, as
they go, love, peace and harmony will come to me. These are now
returning. They enter my being and uplift my soul.
