10. Remember, and this is one of the most wonderful statements to grasp.... remember that no matter what the situation is, no matter where it is, no matter who is affected, you have no patient but yourself; you have nothing to do but to convince yourself of the truth which you desire to see manifested.
11. This is an exact scientific statement in accordance with every system of Metaphysics in existence, and no permanent results are ever secured in any other way.
12. Every form of concentration, forming Mental Images, Argument, and Auto-Suggestion are all simply methods by which you are enabled to realize the Truth.
13. If you desire to help someone, to create some form of abundance, freedom or success, the correct method is to intend to help the person; the intention to help them is entirely sufficient, as this puts you in mental touch with the person. Then bring into your own mind any belief of abundance, freedom, health, well-being, success and whatever the need might be. As soon as you have succeeded in doing this the result will have been accomplished, and the person will be free.
14. But remember that thought is creative and consequently every time you allow your thought to rest on any harmonious condition, you must realize that such conditions are real, they have a reality, that spirit is the only reality and it is always perfect.
15. All thought is a form of energy, a rate of vibration, but a thought of the Truth is the highest rate of vibration known and consequently destroys every form of non truth in exactly the same way that light destroys darkness; no form of non truth can exist when the Truth appears, so that your entire mental work consists in coming into an understanding of the Truth. This will enable you to create every form of abundance, freedom and health of any kind.
16. We can get an understanding of the truth only from the world within; the world within is absolute; Truth is absolute. We must therefore find it in the world within.

Part Twenty-Four - Page 2

4. The whole range then of the theory and practice of any system of metaphysics consists in knowing the Truth concerning yourself and the world in which you live; in knowing that in order to express harmony, you must think harmony; in order to express health you must think health; and in order to express abundance you must think abundance; to do this you must analyse the evidence of the senses.
5. When you come to know that every form of health, well being, abundance and freedom is simply the result of right thinking, you will have come to know the Truth which shall make you free. You will see how mountains may be climbed. If these mountains consist only of certainty, love, trust or other forms of encouragement, they are none the less real, and they need only to be climbed.
6. Your real work consists in convincing yourself of the truth of these statements. When you have succeeded in doing this you will easily be able to think the truth, and as has been shown, the truth contains a vital principle and will manifest itself.
7. Those who heal by mental methods have come to know this truth, they demonstrate it in their lives and the lives of others daily. They know that life, health and abundance are Omnipresent, filling all space, and they know that those who allow health and abundance of any kind to manifest, have come into an understanding of this great law.
8. As all conditions are thought creations and therefore entirely mental, health or abundance are simply mental conditions in which the person perceives the truth; as soon as the truth is seen, the condition is manifested.
9. The method for seeing the Truth is to go into the Silence and know the Truth; as all mind is one mind, you can do this for yourself or anyone else. If you have learned to form mental images of the conditions desired, this will be the easiest and quickest way to secure results; if not, results can be accomplished by argument, by the process of convincing yourself absolutely of the truth of your statement.

23. This week concentrate on the fact that people are a spirit with a body, and that it is for this reason that their desires are capable of permanent satisfaction only in the spiritual realm. Money is therefore of no value except to bring about the conditions which we desire, and these conditions are necessarily harmonious. Harmonious conditions necessitate sufficient supply, so that if there appears to be any abundance, we have realized that the idea or soul of money is service, and as this thought takes form, channels of supply will be opened, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that spiritual methods are entirely practical.

We have discovered that premeditated, orderly thinking for a purpose matures that purpose into fixed form, so that we may be absolutely sure of the result of our dynamic experiment.
- Francis Larimer Warner

19. Does this sound spiritual? I hope so; I do mean it to be so. Take away the implication of Personality, or Magnified Human Nature, from the conception of the The Infinite, and you have left the conception of an Infinite Presence-Power, the Quintessence of which is Consciousness -- in fact, at the last, Spirit. As this man, also, at the last, must be considered as a manifestation of Spirit; he, being Spirit, should so harmonize himself with his Origin and Source that he would be able to manifest at least a minor degree of its Power. All of us do this, more or less, when we use our minds in the direction of Creative Thought. This man did more, he went about it in an intensely practical manner.
20. I have not consulted him about his method of procedure, though I intend doing so at the first opportunity, but, he not only drew upon the Infinite Supply for the ideas which he needed (and which formed the seed of his success), but that he also used the Creative Power of Thought in building up for himself an Idealistic Pattern of that which he hoped to manifest in material form, adding thereto, changing, improving its detail, from time to time -- proceeding from the general outline to the finished detail. I judge this to be the facts of the case, not alone from my recollection of the conversation a few years ago, but also because I have found the same thing to be true in the cases of other prominent people who have made similar manifestation of Creative Thought.
21. Those who may grab onto this idea of employing the Infinite Power to aid one in their work in the material world, should remember that it will only work if the Infinite approved such a procedure. The Infinite is quite able to take care of Itself.
22. Spirituality is quite practical, very practical, intensely practical. It teaches that Spirit is the Real Thing, the Whole Thing, and that Matter is but plastic stuff, which Spirit is able to create, mould, manipulate, and fashion to its will. Spirituality is the most practical thing in the world -- the only really and absolutely practical thing that there is!

Part Twenty-Two - Study Questions with Answers

211. How may health be maintained?
     By placing ourselves in harmony with Natural Law which is Omnipotent.
212. What is the process?
     A realization that you are a spiritual being and that this spirit must necessarily be perfect.
213. What is the result?
     A conscious recognition of this perfection - first intellectually, then emotionally - brings about a manifestation of this perfection.
214. Why is this so?
     Because thought is spiritual and therefore creative and correlates with its object and brings it into manifestation.
215. What Natural Law is brought into operation?
     The Law of Vibration.
216. Why does this govern?
     Because a higher rate of vibration governs, modifies, controls, changes, or destroys a lower rate of vibration.

     For the first time in the world's history everyone's highest reasoning faculty can be satisfied by a demonstrable truth which is now fast flooding the world.
219. Is this system applicable to other forms of supply?
     It will meet every human requirement or necessity.
220. Is this system scientific?
     Yes. Any system that, over time, evolves closer to the truth is scientific.

191. Upon what condition does power depend?
     Upon recognition and use.
192. What is recognition?
     Consciousness.
193. How do we become conscious of power?
     By thinking.
194. What then is the true business of life?
     Correct scientific thinking.
195. What is correct scientific thinking?
     The ability to adjust our thought processes to the will of the Universal. In other words, to cooperate with Natural laws.
196. How is this accomplished?
     By securing a perfect understanding of the principles, forces, methods and combinations of mind.
197. What is this Universal Mind?
     The basic fact of all existence.
198. What is the cause of all abundance, freedom, health and harmony?
     It is due to the operation of exactly the same law, the law operates relentlessly and is continually bringing about conditions in correspondence with the thought which originated or created them.
199. What is inspiration?
     The art of realizing the omnipresence of Omniscience.
200. Upon what does the conditions with which we meet depend?
     Upon the quality of our thought. Because what we do depends upon what we are and what we are depends upon what we think.

Part Twenty - Page 5

26. This breath of life is a superconscious reality. It is the essence of the I am. It is pure Being or Universal Substance, and our conscious unity with it enables us to localize it, and thus exercise the powers of this creative energy.
27. Thought is creative vibration and the quality of the conditions created will depend upon the quality of our thought, because we cannot express powers which we do not possess. We must be before we can do and we can do only to the extent to which we are, and so what we do will necessarily coincide with what we are and what we are depends upon what we think. Every time you think you start a train of causation which will create a condition in strict accordance with the quality of the thought which originated it. Thought which is in harmony with the Universal Mind will result in corresponding conditions. Thought which is constructive and harmonious will produce corresponding results. You may use thought constructively, but the immutable law will allow you to only plant a thought of one kind and reap the fruit of the same kind. You are free to use this marvelous creative power as you will, but you must take the consequences.
28. This is the benefit from what is called allowing. There are those who know that by allowing they can obey this law; that they can sow seed of one kind and by Allowing make it bear fruit of the same kind only, the fundamental principle of creative power is in the Universal, and therefore the idea of allowing a compliance with the Universal wishes by the power of the Universal is a correct conception which will succeed - because it embraces the very power which it is seeking to use.
29. It is the individual attempting to allow the Universal, the finite in harmony with the Infinite. Our permanent well being will be best conserved by a conscious cooperation with the continuous forward movement of the Great Whole.

Part Eighteen - Page 4

23. The expression of growth is met in a most beautiful manner through the instrumentality of this Universal Principle.
24. In order to grow we must obtain what is essential for our growth, but as we are at all times a complete thought entity, this completeness makes it possible for us to receive only as we give; growth is therefore conditioned on reciprocal action, and we find that on the mental plane like attracts like, that mental vibrations respond only to the extent of their vibratory harmony.
25. It is clear, therefore, that thoughts of abundance will respond only to similar thoughts; the wealth of the individual is seen to be what they inherently are. Affluence within is found to be the secret of attraction for affluence without. The ability to produce is found to be the real source of wealth of the individual. It is for this reason that those who have their heart in their work are certain to meet with success. They will give and continually give; and the more they give, the more they will receive.
26. What do the great financiers of Wall Street, the captains of industry, the states people, the great corporation attorneys, the inventors, the physicians, the authors -- what do each of these contribute to the sum of human happiness but the power of their thought?
27. Thought is the energy which the law of attraction has brought into operation, which eventually manifests in abundance.
28. The Universal Mind is static Mind or Substance in equilibrium. It is differentiated into form by our power to think. Thought is the dynamic phase of mind.
29. Power depends upon consciousness of power; when we use it, we keep it, and only when we are conscious of it, can we use it.
30. The use of this power depends upon attention; the degree of attention determines our capacity for the acquirement of knowledge which is another name for power.

Part Seventeen - Page 4

20. Vibration is the action of thought; it is vibration which reaches out and attracts the material necessary to construct and build. The the power of thought is natural; concentration simply implies that consciousness can be focalized to the point where it becomes identified with the object of its attention. As food absorbed is the essence of the body, so the mind absorbs the object of its attention, gives it life and being.
21. If you concentrate on some matter of importance, the intuitive power will be set in operation, and help will come in the nature of information which will lead to success.
22. Intuition arrives at conclusions beyond the aid of experience or memory. Intuition often solves problems that are beyond the grasp of the reasoning power. Intuition often comes with a suddenness that is startling; it reveals the truth for which we are searching, so directly that it seems to come from a higher power. Intuition can be cultivated and developed; in order to do this it must be recognized and appreciated; if the intuitive visitor is given a royal welcome when they come, they will come again; the more cordial the welcome the more frequent their visits will become, and if they are given attention and nourished they will make their visits many and close together.
23. Intuition usually comes in the Silence; great minds seek solitude frequently; it is here that all the larger situations of life are worked out. For this reason every business person who can afford it has a private office, where they will be alone and quiet; if you cannot afford a private office you can at least find somewhere, where you can be alone a few minutes each day, to train the thought along lines which will enable you to develop that invincible power which is necessary to achieve.
24. Remember that fundamentally the subconscious is omnipotent; anything can be done when it is given the power to act. Your degree of success is determined by the nature of your desire. If the nature of your desire is in harmony with Natural Law or the Universal Mind, it will gradually emancipate the mind and give you invincible courage.

Part Sixteen - Page 6

35. We must therefore construct only such mental images as are known to be scientifically true. Subject every idea to a searching analysis and accept only that which is scientifically exact. When you do this you will attempt nothing but what you know you can carry out and success will crown your efforts; this is what business people call farsightedness; it is much the same as insight, and is one of the great secrets of success in all important undertakings.
36. For your exercise this week, try to bring yourself to a realization of the important fact that harmony and happiness are states of consciousness and do depend upon the giving of things. That things are effects and come as a consequence of correct mental states. So that if we desire material possession of any kind our chief concern should be to acquire the mental attitude which will bring about the result desired. This mental attitude is brought about by a realization of our spiritual nature and our unity with the Universal Mind which is the substance of all things. This realization will bring about everything which is necessary for our complete enjoyment. This is scientific or correct thinking. When we succeed in bringing about this mental attitude it is comparatively easy to realize our desire as an already accomplished fact; when we can do this we shall have found the Truth which makes us abundant and free.

A person might frame and let loose a star, to roll in its orbit, and yet not have done so memorable a thing before the Infinite as one who lets a golden-orbed thought to roll through the generations of time.
- Inspired by H. W. Beecher

Part Sixteen - Page 4

22. If the thought is constructive, it will have within itself the seed of its own materialization; it will live, and in the process of living, it will bring health, vibrance, and every other form of harmony.
23. This we call good, and when we bring it upon ourselves, some of us are disposed to attribute our blessings to Mind in equilibrium.
24. It is not good, it simply is.
25. Our ability to differentiate it into form is our ability to manifest good.
26. Good therefore is simply a word which we use to indicate the result of our actions, and these actions are in turn predetermined by the character of our thought.
27. If our thought is constructive and harmonious we manifest good.
28. If you desire to visualize a different environment, the process is simply to hold the ideal in mind, until your vision has been made real; give thought only to the ideal; this is the only thing with a place in the absolute; the environment you desire will contain everything necessary; the right persons, and the right things will come at the right time and in the right place.
29. It is sometimes not plain how character, ability, attainment, achievement, environment and destiny can be controlled through the power of visualization, but this is an exact scientific fact.
30. You will readily see that what we think determines the quality of mind, and that the quality of mind in turn determines our ability and mental capacity, and you can readily understand that the improvement in our ability will naturally be followed by increase in attainment and a greater control of circumstances.

Part Fifteen - Study Questions with Answers

141. What determines the degree of harmony which we attain?
     Our ability to appropriate what we require for our growth from each experience.
142. What do easiness and bonuses indicate?
     That we have gained wisdom and spiritual growth.
143. How may easiness be achieved?
     By a conscious understanding of and cooperation with Natural laws.
144. What is the principle by which thought manifests itself in form?
     The Law of Attraction.
145. How is the necessary material secured by which the growth, development and maturity of the idea take form?
     The law of love, which is the creative principle of the Universe, imparts vitality to the thought, and the law of attraction brings the necessary substance by the law of growth.
146. How are desirable conditions secured?
     By only entertaining desirable thoughts.
147. How are desirable conditions brought about?
     By thinking, discussing and visualizing conditions of abundance, freedom, health, harmony and accord of every kind. This mental photography of correct conceptions is taken up by the subconscious and the law of attraction will inevitably crystallize it into objective form. That we reap what we sow is scientifically exact.
148. How can we achieve every kind of love, abundance, freedom, wealth and harmony?
     By instituting principle.
149. How may we recognize principle?
     By a conscious realization of the fact that Truth invariably conquers all. All that is necessary is to turn on the light. The same principle applies to every form of non positive thought.
150. What is the value of Insight?
     It enables us to understand the value of making application of the knowledge which we gain. Some think that knowledge needs application, which is by all means true.

To every person there openeth a way,

And the high soul climbs the high way,

To every person there openeth

A high way

And every person decideth

The way their soul shall go.

23. The beauty of the word consists in the beauty of the thought; the power of the word consists in the power of the thought, and the power of the thought consists in its vitality. How shall we identify a vital thought? What are its distinguishing characteristics? It must have principal. How shall we identify principle?
24. There is a principle of Mathematics; there is a principle of health; there is a principle of truth; there is a principle of light, and there is a principle of abundance.
25. How shall we know that this is true? Because if we apply the principle of Mathematics correctly we shall be certain of our results. Where there is health there is the application of the principle of health. If we know the Truth we have applied the principle of truth. If we let in light we have applied the principle of light, and where there is abundance there has been the application of the principle of abundance.
26. These are self-evident facts, but the all-important truth that a thought containing principle is vital and therefore contains life and consequently takes root, and eventually but surely and certainly there will be only positive thoughts, which by their very nature contain vitality, is one which is to take note of.
27. This is a fact which will enable you to create every manner of harmony, abundance and freedom.
28. It is certain that those who are wise enough to understand will readily recognize that the creative power of thought places an all powerful tool in their hands and makes them a master of destiny.

1. The laws under which we live are designed solely for our advantage. These laws are immutable and we must follow their operation.
2. All the great eternal forces act in solemn silence, but it is in our power to place ourselves in harmony with them and thus express a life of comparative peace and happiness.
3. Easiness, harmonies, and bonuses, indicate that we are giving out what we no longer need, and accepting what we require.
4. Growth is attained through an exchange of the old for the new, of the good for the better; it is a conditional or reciprocal action, for each of us is a complete thought entity and this completeness makes it possible for us to receive only as we give.
5. We can obtain what we want if we graciously give what we have. We are able to consciously control our conditions as we come to sense the purpose of what we attract, and are able to extract from each experience only what we require for our further growth. Our ability to do this determines the degree of harmony or happiness we attain.
6. The ability to appropriate what we require for our growth, continually increases as we reach higher planes and broader visions, and the greater our abilities to know what we require, the more certain we shall be to discern its presence, to attract it and to absorb it. Nothing may reach us except what is necessary for our growth.
7. All conditions and experiences that come to us do so for our benefit. Easiness and bonuses are common once we have absorbed the wisdom and gathered the essentials of further growth from past circumstances.
8. That we reap what we sow is mathematically exact. We gain permanent strength exactly to the extent of the effort required to achieve our goals.

32. For your exercise this week, concentrate on Harmony, and when I say concentrate, I mean all that the word implies; concentrate so deeply, so earnestly, that you will be conscious of only harmony. Remember, we learn by doing. It is in the practical application that the value consists.

Learn to only keep the door open for, keep in your mind and in your world, elements that seek admittance which have a definite helpful end in view. - Darren J. McLeod

Part Fourteen - Page 5

24. A scientific understanding of this principle will explain the wonderful results which are secured through the power of meditation. The results which are secured in this way are brought about by ordinary dispensations of providence, and they are the result of the operation of a perfectly natural law. It is, therefore, secular and open.
25. There are some who are ready to enter into the discipline necessary to think correctly, because it is evident that right thinking has brought success.
26. Thought is the only reality; conditions are but the outward manifestations; as the thought changes, all outward or material conditions must change in order to be in harmony with their creator, which is thought.
27. But the thought must be clear cut, steady, fixed, definite; you can only take one step at a time, you can spend twenty or thirty years of your life building up positive conditions as the result of positive thoughts, and your life will be wonderful.
28. If you enter into the discipline necessary to bring about a radical change in your life, you must do so deliberately, after giving the matter careful thought and full consideration, and then you must always stand by and uphold your decision.
29. This discipline, this change of thought, this mental attitude will bring you the material things which are necessary for your highest and best welfare, and will bring health and harmonious conditions generally.
30. If you wish harmonious conditions in your life, you must develop an harmonious mental attitude.
31. Your world without will be a reflection of your world within.

Part Thirteen - Page 4

15. It will be found that the creative power of thought will explain every possible condition or experience, whether physical, mental or spiritual.
16. Thought will bring about conditions in correspondence with the predominant mental attitude. Therefore, if we love success, as love is a powerful form of thought, success will be the certain result of our thinking. It is this form of thought which frequently maintains the result of many years of work and effort.
17. If we think of some form of spiritual wealth we may secure it. By concentrated thought the required conditions will be brought about, and the proper effort put forth, which will result in bringing about the circumstances necessary to realize our desires; we sometimes find that when we secure the things we thought we wanted, they do have the effect we expected. That is, the satisfaction is permanent, and is exactly what we expected.
18. What, then, is the proper method of procedure? What are we to think in order to secure what we really desire? What you and I desire, what we all desire, what everyone is seeking, is Happiness and Harmony. If we can be truly happy we shall have everything the world can give. If we are happy ourselves we can make others happy.
19. But we cannot be happy unless we have, health, strength, congenial friends, pleasant environment, sufficient supply, not only to take care of our necessities but to provide for those comforts and luxuries to which we are entitled.
20. Be satisfied and grateful with your portion whatever it is; but know that you are entitled to the best of everything, that the you are one with the Infinite and that the Infinite is the Universal Mind, the Creator, the Original Substance from which all things proceed.
21. Now admitting that this is all true in theory, and it has been taught for two thousand years, and is the essence of every system of Philosophy or Knowledge, how are we to make it practical in our lives? How are we to get the actual, tangible results here and now?

Part Twelve - Introduction

Part Twelve is enclosed herewith. In the fourth paragraph you will find the following statement: You must first have the knowledge of your power; second, the courage to dare; third, the faith to do.

If you concentrate upon the thoughts given, if you give them your entire attention, you will find a world of meaning in each sentence, and will attract to yourself other thoughts in harmony with them, and you will soon grasp the full significance of the vital knowledge upon which you are concentrating.

Knowledge does not apply itself; we as individuals must make the application, and the application consists in fertilizing the thought with a living purpose.

The time and thought which some people invest in focused effort accomplishes wonders because it is properly directed with some special object in view. In order to do this, it is necessary to center your mental force upon a specific thought and hold it there. If you have ever looked through the viewfinder on a camera, you found that when the proper focus was obtained the picture was clear and distinct. This illustrates the power of concentration. When you can concentrate only upon the object which you have in view, you will have a clear, passionate, definite, distinct and focused outline of your ideal and the results will be in accordance with your mental picture.

Part Ten - Page 5

19. If your thought is in harmony with the creative Principle of Nature, it is in tune with the Infinite Mind, and it will form the circuit, it will return to you in full; It is possible for you to think thoughts that are in tune with the Infinite, and when there is polarity, the circuit is formed. What, then, is the result? What is the result when a dynamo is generating electricity, the circuit is connected and there is an outlet? The dynamo continues operating.
20. It will be exactly the same with you, if you entertain thoughts which are in accordance with the Infinite and can therefore be polarized; there is a circuit, you are connected, the thoughts cling to you, inspire you, excite you, and finally bring about health and extended life; the physician may not diagnose the case exactly in this way, they may give it some fancy name which has been manufactured for the various cures which are the result of right thinking, but the cause is the same nevertheless.
21. Constructive thought must necessarily be creative, but creative thought must be harmonious, and this invites all constructive and peaceful thought. Wisdom, strength, courage and all harmonious conditions are the result of power and we have seen that all power is from within; likewise, every abundance, freedom and beneficial circumstance is the result of strength, and strength is simply presence of power; it comes from somewhere, it is something -- this is the result of developed power, and this is accomplished in exactly the same manner that all power is developed, by exercise.
22. This exercise consists in making an application of your knowledge. You must make the application. Abundance will not come to you out of the sky, neither will it drop into your lap, but a conscious realization of the law of attraction and the intention to bring it into operation for a certain, definite and specific purpose, and the will to carry out this purpose will bring about the materialization of your desire by a natural law of transference. If you are in business, it will increase and develop along regular channels, or possibly new and unusual channels of distribution will be opened and when the law becomes fully operative, you will find that the things you seek are seeking you.
