21. It is the combination of Thought and Love which forms the irresistible force, called the law of attraction. All natural laws are irresistible, the law of Gravitation, or Electricity, or any other law operates with mathematical exactitude. It is always the same, it is always perfect. If a bridge stays up, we attribute it to the correct observation of the law of gravitation. If a light comes on, we conclude that the laws governing electricity can be depended upon, and if the law of attraction is perfectly demonstrated by an experienced and informed person, we are to conclude that the greatest and most infallible law upon which the entire system of creation depends has been upheld. We conclude that an understanding of the law is required, for the same reason that a correct solution of a difficult problem in Mathematics that exists can always be obtained.
22. Things are created in the mental or spiritual world before they appear in the outward act or event. by the simple process of governing our thought forces today, we help create the events which will come into our lives in the future, perhaps even tomorrow. Educated desire is the most potent means of bringing into action the law of attraction.
23. People are so constituted that they must first create the tools, or implements by which they gain the power to think. The mind can comprehend an entirely new idea only when a corresponding vibratory brain cell has been prepared to receive it. This explains why it is possible for us to receive and appreciate an entirely new idea; we have a brain cell capable of receiving it; we are therefore credulous; we do believe it.
24. If, therefore, you have not been familiar with the Omnipotence of the law of attraction, and the scientific method by which it can be put into operation, or if you have not been familiar with the unlimited possibilities which it opens to those who are enabled to take advantage of the resources it offers, begin now and create the necessary brain cells which will enable you to comprehend the unlimited powers which may be yours by cooperating with Natural Law. This is done by concentration or attention.
