Part Twenty-Three - Introduction

In the part which I have the honor to transmit herewith you will find that money weaves itself into the entire fabric of our very existence; that the law of success is service; that we get what we give, and for this reason we should consider it a great privilege to be able to give.

We have found that thought is the creative activity behind every constructive enterprise. We can therefore give nothing of more practical value than our thought.

Creative thought requires attention, and the power of attention is, as we have found, the power of the Super-human. Attention develops concentration, and concentration develops Spiritual Power, and Spiritual Power is the mightiest force in existence.

This is the science which embraces all sciences. It is the art which, above all arts, is relevant to human life. In the mastery of this science and this art there is opportunity for unending progression. Perfection in this is not acquired in six days, nor in six weeks, nor in six months. It is the labor of life. Go forward.

It is inevitable that the entertainment of positive, constructive and generous thoughts should have a far-reaching effect for good. Compensation is the key-note of the universe. Nature is constantly seeking to strike an equilibrium. Where something is sent out something must be received. By observance of this rule you will profit in such measure as to amply justify your effort along this line.

Part Twenty-Two - Page 6

  1. Then let the thought rest on the fact that recently science has been learning about creation of the Universe, one who created beings capable of only being good and then allowed them to be eternally rewarded for such goodness. Of course the necessary outcome of such extraordinary intelligence is to create love, and so, after years of this kind of truth, science will be busily engaged in reality.
  2. You will then more readily appreciate the ideal person, the person made in the Universal, and you will more readily appreciate the all originating Mind that forms, upholds, sustains, originates, and creates all there is. All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body nature is, and the Universal the soul. Opportunity follows perception, action follows inspiration, growth follows knowledge, eminence follows progress. Always the spiritual first, then the transformation into the always abundant possibilities of achievement.

Part Twenty-Two - Page 1

  1. Knowledge is of priceless value, because by applying knowledge we can make our future what we wish it to be. When we realize that our present character, our present environment, our present ability, our present physical condition are all the result of past methods of thinking, we shall begin to have some conception of the value of knowledge.
  2. If the state of our health is not all that could be desired, let us examine our method of thinking; let us remember that every thought produces an impression on the mind; every impression is a seed which will sink into the subconscious and form a tendency; the tendency will be to attract other similar thoughts and before we know it we shall have a crop which must be harvested.
  3. If these thoughts contain positive seeds, the harvest will be health, growth, strength, and success; the question is, what are we thinking, what are we creating, what is the harvest to be?
  4. If there is any physical condition which it is necessary to change, the law governing visualization will be found effective. Make a mental image of physical perfection, hold it in the mind until it is absorbed by the consciousness. Many have cured themselves in a few weeks by this method, and thousands have overcome and created all manner of physical health by this method in a few days,sometimes in a few minutes.
  5. It is through the law of vibration that the mind exercises this control over the body. We know that every mental action is a vibration, and we know that all form is simply a mode of motion, a rate of vibration. Therefore, any given vibration immediately modifies every atom in the body, every life cell is affected and an entire chemical change is made in every group of life cells.
  6. Everything in the Universe is what it is by virtue of its rate of vibration. Change the rate of vibration and you change the nature, quality and form. The vast panorama of nature, both visible and invisible, is being constantly changed by simply changing the rate of vibration, and as thought is a vibration we can also exercise this power. We can change the vibration and thus produce any condition which we desire to manifest in our bodies.

Part Twenty-One - Study Questions with Answers

  1. What is the real secret of power?
    The consciousness of power, because whatever we become conscious of, is invariably manifested in the objective world, is brought forth into tangible expression.
  2. What is the source of this power?
    The Universal Mind, from which all things proceed, and which is one and indivisible.
  3. How is this power being manifested?
    Through the individual, each individual is a channel whereby this energy is being differentiated in form.
  4. How may we connect with this Omnipotence?
    Our ability to think is our ability to act on this Universal Energy, and what we think is what is produced or created in the objective world.
  5. What is the result of this discovery?
    The result is marvelous, it opens unique and abundant opportunity.
  6. How, then, may we create perfect conditions?
    By becoming conscious of our Unity with the source of all power.
  7. What is one of the distinctive characteristics of the Master Mind?
    The Master Mind thinks big thoughts, the Master Mind holds ideas large enough that that is all that there is room for.
  8. How do experiences come to us?
    Through the law of attraction.
  9. How is this law brought into operation?
    By our predominant mental attitude.
  10. What is the issue between the old regime and the new?
    A question of conviction as to the nature of the Universe. The new regime recognizes the divinity of the individual, the democracy of humanity.

Part Twenty-One - Page 5

  1. In the last analysis there are but these two classes; all people will have to take their place on one side or the other; they can choose to go forward; we live in a world where all is motion; it is this attempt to move forward that gives sanction and force to deliberate and ever more equal codes of law.
  2. That we are in a period of stability is evidenced by the rest which is everywhere apparent. The praise of humanity is as a roll of a beautiful singing group, commencing with high and peaceful notes and decreasing until the sound is sent to the clear skies of earth.
  3. The free thinkers are calling joyously to each other. What of the day? The safety and security of the position they occupy and attempt to hold is becoming more apparent every hour. The dawn of a new era has begun.
  4. The issue between the old regime and the new, the crux of the social situation, is entirely a question of conviction in the minds of the people as to the nature of the Universe. When they realize that the transcendent force of spirit or mind of the Cosmos is within each individual, it will be possible to frame laws that shall consider the liberties and rights of all.
  5. As long as the people regard the Cosmic power as a power natural to humanity, so long will it be comparatively easy for a supposed lower class to rule by natural right. The real interest of democracy is therefore to exalt, emancipate and recognize the divinity of the human spirit. To recognize that all power is from within. That every human being has the same power as any other human being. Herein is the gist of the social gift of every form of common and personal equality, the freeing of the creative doctrine of natural election.
  6. The Divine Mind is the Universal Mind; it is the same always, it treats everyone equally; it acts through sheer truth; The Divine Mind makes favors every individual the same; but when the individual understands and realizes their Unity with the Universal principle they will appear to be favored because they will have found the source of all health, all wealth, and all power.

Part Twenty-One - Introduction

It is my privilege to enclose Part Twenty-One. In paragraph 7 you will find that one of the secrets of success, one of the methods of organizing victory, one of the accomplishments of the Master Mind is to think big thoughts.

In paragraph 8 you will find that everything which we hold in our consciousness for any length of time becomes impressed upon our subconsciousness and so becomes a pattern which the creative energy will weave into our life and environment. This is the secret of the wonderful power of prayer.

We know that the universe is governed by law; that for every effect there must be a cause, and that the same cause, under the same conditions, will invariably produce the same effect. Consequently, if prayer has ever been answered, it will always be answered, if the proper conditions are complied with. This must necessarily be true; the universe is a cosmos. The answer to prayer is therefore subject to law, and this law is definite, exact and scientific, just as are the laws governing gravitation and electricity.

Fortunately, there are a few persons who know how to pray. They understand that there are laws governing electricity, mathematics, and chemistry, and, it has occurred to them that there are also spiritual laws, and that these laws are also definite, scientific, exact, and operate with immutable precision.

Part Twenty - Page 4

  1. Inspiration is the art of receiving and makes for all that is best in life; your business in life is to understand and command these invisible forces. Power implies service; inspiration implies power; to understand and apply the method of inspiration is to become super human.
  2. We can live more abundantly every time we breathe, if we consciously breathe with that intention. The IF is a very important condition in this case, as the intention governs the attention, and with the attention you can secure the results which you desire. That is, a supply equal to the demand.
  3. In order to secure the larger supply your demand must be increased, and as you consciously increase the demand the supply will follow, you will find yourself coming into a larger and larger supply of life, energy and vitality.
  4. The reason for this is easy to understand, but it is another of the vital mysteries of life which does not seem to be generally appreciated. If you make it your own, you will find it one of the great realities of life.
  5. We are told that In the Universal we live and move and have our being, and we are told that the Universal is Spirit, and again that the Universal is Love, so that every time we breathe, we breathe this life, love, and spirit. This is Pranic Energy, or Pranic Ether, we could not exist a moment without it. It is the Cosmic Energy; it is the Life of the Solar Plexus.
  6. Every time we breathe we fill our lungs with air and at the same time vitalize our body with this Pranic Ether which is Life itself, so that we have the opportunity of making a conscious connection with All Life, All Intelligence and All Substance.
  7. A knowledge of your relation and oneness with this Principle that governs the Universe and the simple method whereby you can consciously identify yourself with it gives you a scientific understanding of a law whereby you may be healthy, abundant and free; in fact, it enables you to breathe the breath of life into your own nostrils.

Part Twenty - Introduction

For some years there has been a discussion as to the origin of good. Some people have ventured that the Universal is Love and is Omnipresent. If this be true, where then, is not good, not good beings and not good places? Let us see:

The Universal is Spirit.

Spirit is the Creative Principle of the Universe.

We are part of the Universal.

We are therefore spiritual beings.

The only activity which spirit possesses is the power to think.

Thinking is therefore a creative process.

All form is therefore the result of the thinking process.

The change of form must also be a result of the thinking process.

Invention, organization and constructive work of all kinds are the result of the creative power of thought, as in concentration.

When the creative power of thought is manifested for the benefit of humanity, we call the result good.

When the creative power of thought is manifested in a non constructive or non beneficial manner, we call the result not good.

This indicates the origin of both good and a single word for not good; they are simply words which have been coined in order to indicate the nature of the result of the thinking or creative process.

Thought necessarily precedes and predetermines action; action precedes and predetermines condition.

Part Twenty will throw more light upon this important subject.

Part Nineteen - Page 5

  1. The substance from which all things are created is infinite in quantity; we know that light travels at the rate of 186,000 miles per second, and we know that there are stars so remote that it takes light 2,000 years to reach us, and we know that such stars exist in all parts of the universe; we know, too, that this light comes in waves, so that if the space through which these waves travel was not continuous the light would fail to reach us; we can then only come to the conclusion that this substance, or space, or raw material, is universally present.
  2. How, then, does it manifest in form? In electrical science a battery is formed by connecting the opposite poles of zinc and copper, which causes a current to flow from one to the other and so provides energy. This same process is repeated in respect to every polarity, and as all form simply depends upon the rate of vibration and consequent relations of atoms to each other, if we wish to change the form of manifestation we must change the polarity. This is the principle of causation.
  3. For your exercise this week, concentrate, and when I use the word concentrate, I mean all that the word implies; become so absorbed in the object of your thought that you are conscious only of the object, and do this a few minutes every day. You take the necessary time to eat in order that the body may be nourished, take the time to assimilate your mental food.
  4. Let the thought rest on the fact that the truth can be found. The earth is round, it is moving; the sky is infinite, the earth moves around the sun, the stars are massive balls of energy, and matter is in a state of perpetual flux.
  5. Try to realize that the day is fast approaching -- its dawn is now at hand -- when modes of thought and action must be adjusted to rapidly increasing knowledge of the operation of eternal principles.
Silent thought, is, after all, the mightiest agent in human affairs. - Channing

Part Eighteen - Page 1

  1. There is a change in the thought of the world. This change is silently transpiring in our midst, and is more important than any which the world has undergone since the rise of science.
  2. The present revolution in the opinions of all classes, the highest and most cultured as well as those of the laboring class, stands unparalleled in the history of the world.
  3. Science has of late made such vast discoveries, has revealed such an infinity of resources, has unveiled such enormous possibilities and such unsuspected forces.
  4. A new civilization is being born; of vision, faith and service. Thought is being liberated and truth is rising full robed before an astonished multitude.
  5. The whole world is on the eve of a new consciousness, a new power, and a new realization within the self.
  6. Physical Science has resolved matter into molecules, molecules into atoms, atoms into energy, and it has remained for Mr. J. A. Fleming, in an address before the Royal Institution, to resolve this energy into mind. He says, In its ultimate essence, energy may be incomprehensible by us except as an exhibition of the direct operation of that which we call Mind or Will.
  7. And this mind is the indwelling and ultimate. It is imminent in matter as in spirit. It is the sustaining,energizing, all pervading Spirit of the universe.
  8. Every living thing must be sustained by this omnipotent Intelligence, and we find the difference in individual lives to be largely measured by the degree of this intelligence, which they manifest. It is greater intelligence that places the animal in a higher scale of being than the plant, the human highest of the animals, and we find that this increased intelligence is again indicated by the power of the individual to control modes of action and thus to consciously adjust themselves to their environment.

  1. All knowledge is the result of concentration of this kind; it is thus that the secrets of the universe have been wrested; it is thus that the mind becomes a magnet and the desire to know draws the knowledge, irresistibly attracts it, makes it your own.
  2. Desire is largely subconscious; conscious desire rarely realizes its object when the latter is out of immediate reach. Subconscious desire arouses the latent faculties of the mind, and situations seem to solve themselves.
  3. The subconscious mind may be aroused and brought into action in any direction and made to serve us for any purpose, by concentration. The practice of concentration requires the control of the physical, mental, and physical being; all modes of consciousness whether physical, or mental, must be under control. Spiritual Truth is therefore the controlling factor; it is this which will enable you to grow towards abundant attainment and reach a point where you will be able to translate modes of thought into character and consciousness.
  4. Concentration means the transmutation of thoughts into practical values; the exceptional person has a clear conception of the meaning of concentration. There is always the cry to be; they understand that to be is to have, that they must first find the "stillness" before they can have the things added. It is only with completely free self-confidence that the goal is reached.
  5. The mind may place the ideal at just the right height; it may attempt to soar on trained wings and fly above the earth.
  6. Strength is the key to mental attainment; attribute your strength to physical freedom and mental certainties and try again; ease and perfection are gained by repetition.
  7. The astronomer centers their mind on the stars and they give forth their secrets; the geologists centers their mind on the construction of the earth and we have geology; so with all things. People center their minds on the situations of life, and the result is apparent in the vast and complex social order of the day.

Part Seventeen - Page 1

  1. We are told that humanity has dominion over all things; this dominion is established through Mind. Thought is the activity which controls every principle beneath it. The highest principle by reason of its superior essence and qualities necessarily determines the circumstances, aspects and relation of everything with which it comes in contact.
  2. The vibrations of Mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence. To those who perceive the nature and transcendency of mental force, all physical power sinks into insignificance.
  3. We are accustomed to look upon the Universe with a lens of five senses, and from these experiences our anthropomorphic conceptions originate, but true conceptions are only secured by spiritual insight. This insight requires a quickening of the vibrations of the Mind, and is only secured when the mind is continuously concentrated in a given direction.
  4. Continuous concentration means an even, continuous flow of thought and is the result of a patient, persistent, persevering and well-regulated system.
  5. Great discoveries are the result of long-continued investigation. The science of mathematics requires years of concentrated effort to master it, and the greatest science -- that of the Mind -- is revealed only through concentrated effort.
  6. Concentration can be understood; it is necessary to be calm and still. The greatness of an actor lies in the fact that they forget themselves in the portrayal of their character, becoming so identified with it, that the audience is swayed by the realism of the performance. This will give you a good idea of true concentration; you should be so interested in your thought, so engrossed in your subject, as to be conscious of only it. Such concentration leads to intuitive perception and immediate insight into the nature of the object concentrated upon.

Part Ten - Study Questions with Answers

  1. What is Wealth?
    Wealth is the offspring of power.
  2. Of what value are possessions?
    Possessions are of value only as they confer power.
  3. Of what value is a knowledge of cause and effect?
    It enables people to plan courageously and execute confidently.
  4. How does life originate in the inorganic world?
    Only by the introduction of some living form.
  5. What is the connecting link between the finite and the Infinite?
    Thought is the connecting link.
  6. Why is that so?
    Because the Universal can manifest only through the individual.
  7. Upon what does causation depend?
    Upon polarity; a circuit must be formed; the Universal is the positive side of the battery of life, the individual is the negative, and thought forms the circuit.
  8. Why do some succeed to secure harmonious conditions?
    They understand the law; there is polarity; they have formed the circuit.
  9. What is the process?
    A conscious recognition of the law of attraction with the intention of bringing it into existence for a definite purpose.
  10. What will be the result?
    Thought will correlate with its object and bring it into manifestation, because thought is a product of the spiritual person, and spirit is the creative Principle of the Universe.
A vivid thought brings the power to paint it; and in proportion to the depth of its source is the force of its projection. - Emerson

Part Ten - Page 3

  1. Thought is the connecting link between the Infinite and the finite, between the Universal and the individual. We have seen that there is an impassable barrier between the organic and the inorganic, and that the only way that matter can unfold is to be impregnated with life; as a seed reaches down into the mineral world and begins to unfold and reach out, the dead matter begins to live, a thousand invisible fingers begin to weave a suitable environment for the new arrival, and as the law of growth begins to take effect, we see the process continue until the Lily finally appears, and it is glorious.
  2. Even so, a thought is dropped into the invisible substance of the Universal Mind, that substance from which all things are created, and as it takes root, the law of growth begins to take effect and we find that conditions and environment are but the objective form of our thought.
  3. The law is that Thought is an active vital form of dynamic energy which has the power to correlate with its object and bring it out of the invisible substance from which all things are created into the visible or objective world. This is the law by which, and through which all things come into manifestation; it is the Master Key by which you are admitted into the Secret Place of the Most High and are given dominion over all things. With an understanding of this law you may decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee.
  4. It can only be so; if the soul of the Universe as we know it is the Universal Spirit, then the Universe is simply the condition which the Universal Spirit has made for itself. We are simply individualized spirit and are creating the conditions for our growth in exactly the same way.
  5. This creative power depends upon our recognition of the potential power of spirit or mind. Creation is the calling into existence of that which currently only exists in the subjective world.

Thought means life, since only those who think live in a high and real sense. Thinking makes the person.

Part Eight - Page 3

  1. The next step is to place yourself in position to receive this power. As it is Omnipresent, it must be within you. We know that this is so because we know that all power is from within, but it must be developed, unfolded, cultivated; in order to do this we must be receptive, and this receptivity is acquired just as physical strength is gained, by exercise.
  2. The law of attraction will certainly and unerringly bring to you the conditions, environment, and experiences in life, corresponding with your habitual, characteristic, predominant mental attitude. What you think most of the time, your predominant mental attitude, is what counts.
  3. You can entertain strong, helpful, positive thoughts ten hours a day and expect to bring about beautiful, strong and harmonious conditions.
  4. Real power comes from within. All power that anybody can possibly use is within us, only waiting to be brought into visibility by our first recognizing it, and then affirming it as ours, working it into our consciousness until we become one with it.
  5. People say that they desire abundant life, and so they do. When people awaken to the truth, and affirm their oneness with all Life, they find that they take on the clear eye, the elastic step, the vigor of youth; they find that they have discovered the source of all power.
  6. All successes are but the successes of intelligence. Knowledge gaining and consequent power is what determines growth and evolution. The recognition and demonstration of knowledge is what constitutes power and this power is spiritual power, and this spiritual power is the power which lies at the heart of all things; it is the soul of the universe.
  7. This knowledge is the result of people's ability to think; thought is therefore the seed of people's conscious evolution. When people start to advance in their thoughts and ideals, their forces immediately begin to grow and their countenance gradually registers these changing conditions.

Part Eight - Page 1

  1. Thought contains a vital principle, because it is the creative principle of the Universe and by its nature will combine with other similar thoughts.
  2. As the one purpose of life is growth, all principles underlying existence must contribute to give it effect. Thought, therefore, takes form and the law of growth eventually brings it into manifestation.
  3. You may freely choose what you think, but the result of your thought is governed by an immutable law. Any line of thought persisted in will succeed in producing its result in the character, health and circumstances of the individual. Methods whereby we can institute habits of constructive thinking for those which we have found produce only desirable effects are therefore of primary importance.
  4. We all know that this can be done. Mental habits can be controlled, and the way to do it is to begin at once to only think constructive thoughts. Form the habit of analyzing every thought. If it is necessary, if its manifestation in the objective will be a benefit, to yourself, and to all whom it may affect in any way, keep it; treasure it; it is of value; it is in tune with the Infinite; it will grow and develop and produce fruit a hundred fold. Learn to keep the door open, keep in your mind, in your office, and in your world, every element that seeks admittance with a definite helpful end in view.
  5. If your thought has been favourable and constructive, and has resulted in any condition of accord or harmony in your environment, continue to cultivate a mental attitude which will be conducive to constructive thought.
  6. The imagination will be found to be a great assistance in this direction; the cultivation of the imagination leads to the development of the ideal out of which your future will emerge.
  7. The imagination gathers up the material by which the Mind weaves the fabric in which your future is to be clothed.
  8. Imagination is the light by which we can penetrate new worlds of thought and experience.

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.

Part Seven - Page 2

  1. Then comes the process of visualization. You must see the picture more and more complete, see the detail, and, as the details begin to unfold the ways and means for bringing it into manifestation will develop. One thing will lead to another. Thought will lead to action, action will develop methods, methods will develop friends, and friends will bring about circumstances, and, finally, the third step, Materialization, will have been accomplished.
  2. We all recognize the Universe must have been thought into shape before it ever could have become a material fact. And if we are willing to follow along the lines of the Great Architect of the Universe, we shall find our thoughts taking form, just as the universe took concrete form. It is the same mind operating through the individual. There are the same in kind and quality, the only difference is one of degree.
  3. The architect visualizes their building, they see it as they wish it to be. Their thought becomes a plastic mould from which the building will eventually emerge, a high one or a low one, a beautiful one or a plain one, their vision takes form on paper and eventually the necessary material is utilized and the building stands complete.
  4. The inventor visualizes their idea in exactly the same manner, for instance, Nikola Tesla, he with the giant intellect, one of the greatest inventors of all ages, the man who has brought forth the most amazing realities, always visualizes his inventions before attempting to work them out. Having first built up the idea in his imagination, he held it there as a mental picture, to be reconstructed and improved by his thought. This enabled him to rapidly develop and perfect a conception purely in thought. When he had gone so far as to embody in the invention every possible improvement he could think of, and see only perfection anywhere, he put into concrete, the product of his brain. Invariably his devise works as he conceived it should; in twenty years this was always the case.

Part Four - Page 2

  1. If you can do these things it is because you have thus far made the necessary effort. Now is the time to make the effort. The result will be exactly in proportion to the effort expended. One of the strongest affirmations which you can use for the purpose of strengthening the will and realizing your power to accomplish, is, I can be what I will to be.
  2. Every time you repeat it realize who and what this I is; try to come into a thorough understanding of the true nature of the I; if you do, you will become invincible; that is, provided that your objects and purposes are constructive and are therefore in harmony with the creative principle of the Universe.
  3. Make use of this affirmation, use it continuously, night and morning, and as often during the day as you think of it, and continue to do so until it becomes a part of you; form the habit.
  4. If you do this, you had better keep doing it, because modern psychology tells us that when we start something and complete it, or make a resolution and keep it, we are forming the habit of success; absolute, honorable success. Only if you do intend to do a thing, then start; if you do start, see it through no matter what; if you make up your mind to do something, do it; let everything and everyone, help you; the I in you has determined, the thing is settled; the die is cast, there is only agreement.
  5. If you carry out this idea, beginning with small things which you know you can control and gradually increase the effort, and always under all circumstances allowing your I to rule, you will find that you can eventually control yourself, and many people have found to their joy that it is easy to control themselves.
  6. When you have learned to control yourself you will have found the World Within which controls the world without; you will have become irresistible; people and things will respond to your every wish with only a small effort on your part.
