Mind is the pattern by which the word creates, for before we speak into being the thing or condition which brings to us pleasure or pain, we have either consciously or unconsciously been fashioning that thing or condition in the mental workshop, have been impressing, as it were, this pattern on the creative substance within and all about us.
And it must come into sight, either in our acts or words, both of which express or objectify our thought children. In this way do our thoughts build themselves into our personalities, and so become what we appear to be.
Elinor S. Moody
