Part Eight - Introduction

In this Part you will find that you may freely choose what you think but the result of your thought is governed by an immutable law! Is not this a wonderful thought? Is it not wonderful to know that our lives are subject to truth and consistency? That they are governed by law. This stability is our opportunity, because by complying with the law we can secure the desired effect with constant precision. It is the Law which makes the Universe one grand paean of Harmony. It is because of law, the Universe is.

Here, then, is the secret of the origin of good, this is all the good there ever was or ever will be.

Let me illustrate. Thought results in action, if your thought is constructive and harmonious, the result will be good.

There is therefore but one law, one principle, one cause, one Source of Power, and good is simply a word which has been coined to indicate the result of our action, or our compliance with this law.

The importance of this is well illustrated in the life of Emerson. Emerson loved the good and his life was a symphony of peace and harmony.

Here we have one grand man, intent upon achieving an ideal, he makes use of constructive thought and is therefore in harmony with Natural Law.

It is evident therefore that we are to love only the good, because love is constructive, and we shall soon find that by entertaining constructive thought we are sowing the seed and in turn shall reap the harvest.
