23. The conditions with which you meet in the world without are invariably the result of the conditions obtaining in the world within, therefore it follows with scientific accuracy that by holding the perfect ideal in mind you can bring about ideal conditions in your environment.
24. If you see only the complete, the perfect, the absolute, the free, these conditions will manifest in your life; and if you train your mind to see and realize the spiritual ego, the I which is forever perfect and complete, harmonious; wholesome, and healthful conditions only will be manifested.
25. As thought is creative, and the truth is the highest and most perfect thought which anyone can think, it is self-evident that to think the truth is to create that which is true and it is again evident that when truth comes into being that which is not true must cease to be.
26. The Universal Mind is the totality of all mind which is in existence. Spirit is Mind, because spirit is intelligent. The words are, therefore, synonymous.
27. Realize that mind is universal. It is omnipresent. It exists everywhere. In other words, there is no place where it is not. It is, therefore, Universal.
28. People are, now, generally using the word Universal to indicate this Universal, creative principle; and the word Universal does convey the right meaning. Most people understand this word to mean something inside of themselves; this is exactly the case. It is our very life. With it we are alive. We come to exist. The minute the spirit enters the body, we are as the Universal. Therefore, spirit is really, all there is of us.
29. Now, the only activity which the spirit possesses is the power to think. Therefore, thought must be creative, because spirit is creative. This creative power is impersonal and your ability to think is your ability to control it and make use of it for the benefit of yourself and others.

17. To train the mind to see Truth only is to express true conditions only, our ability to do this will be an indication as to the progress we are making.
18. The absolute truth is that the I is perfect and complete; the real I is spiritual and is therefore always perfect; it is always abundant, free, and healthy. The flash of genius does have origin in the spiritual; it is inspired by the ego, the spiritual I which is one with the Universal Mind, and it is our ability to recognize this Unity which is the cause of all inspiration, all genius. These results are far reaching and have effect upon generations yet to come; they are the pillars of fire which mark the path that millions follow.
19. Truth is not the result of logical training or of experimentation, or even of observation; it is the product of a developed consciousness. Truth within a Caesar, manifests in a Caesar's deportment, in Caesar's life and Caesar's action; Caesar's influence upon social forms and progress. Your life and your actions and your influence in the world will depend upon the degree of truth which you are enabled to perceive, for truth will manifest in conduct only.
20. Truth manifests in character, and the character of a person, should be the interpretation of what to them is truth, and this will in turn be evidenced in the character of their possession. If a person is grateful for the drift of their fortune they are just as just to themselves as if they should allow rational truth, when it stands patent and irrefutable.
21. Our environment and the innumerable circumstances and accidents of our lives already exist in the subconscious personality which attracts to itself the mental and physical material which is congenial to its nature. Thus our future being determined from our present, and if there should be justice in any feature or phase of our personal life, we must look within for the cause, try to discover the mental fact which is responsible for the outward manifestation.
22. It is this truth which makes you free and it is the conscious knowledge of this truth which will enable you to achieve every blessing.

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.

1. When the scientists first put the Sun in the center of the Solar System and sent the earth spinning around it, there was immense surprise and consternation. The whole idea was self-evidently false; nothing was more certain than the movement of the Sun across the sky, and anyone could see it descend behind the western hills and sink into the sea; scholars raged and scientists rejected the idea as absurd, yet the evidence has finally carried conviction in the minds of all.
2. We speak of a bell as a sounding body, yet we know that all the bell can do is to produce vibrations in the air. When these vibrations come at the rate of sixteen per second, they cause a sound to be heard in the mind. It is also possible for the mind to hear vibrations up to the rate of 38,000 vibrations per second. When the number increases beyond this, all is silence again; so that we know that the sound is not in the bell, it is in our own mind.
3. We speak and even think of the Sun as giving light. Yet we know it is simply giving forth energy which produces vibrations in space at the rate of four hundred trillion a second, causing what are termed light waves, so that we know that what we call light is simply a form of energy and that the only light there is, is the sensation caused in the mind by the motion of the waves. When the number increases, the light changes in color, each change in color being caused by shorter and more rapid vibrations; so that although we speak of the rose as being red, the grass as being green, or the sky as being blue, we know that the colors exist only in our minds, and are the sensations experienced by us as the result of the vibrations of light waves. When the vibrations are reduced below four hundred trillion a second, they no longer affect us as light, but we experience the sensation of heat. It is evident, therefore, that we need to look beyond our senses for our information concerning the realities of things; if we didn't we should believe that the sun moved around the earth instead of the earth moving around the sun, that the world was flat instead of round, that the stars were bits of light instead of vast suns.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts; to believe in the heroic makes heroes. - Disraeli

16. He said to me, in substance: I know that all things that 'work out' in business are the result of Thought; anyone knows that. Just now, I seem to not have any thoughts or good ideas. But, if this 'All-Mind' teaching is correct, it should be possible for the individual to attain a 'direct connection' with Infinite Mind; and in Infinite Mind there must be the possibility of all kinds of good ideas which a man of my courage and experience could put to practical use in the business world, and make a big success thereof. It looks good to me; and I am going to look into it.
17. This was several years ago. The other day I heard of this man again. Talking to a friend, I said: What has come of our old friend X? Has he ever gotten on his feet again? The friend looked at me in amazement. Why, said he, don't you know about X's great success? He is the Big Man in the '_________ Company' (naming a concern which has made a phenomenal success during the last eighteen months and is now well known, by reason of its advertisements, from one end of the country to another, and also abroad). He is the man who supplied the BIG IDEA for that concern. Why, he is about a half-million to the good and is moving rapidly toward the million mark; all in the space of eighteen months. I had not connected this man with the enterprise mentioned; although I knew of the wonderful success of the company in question. Investigation has shown that the story is true, and that the above stated facts are completely accurate.
18. Now, what do you think of that? To me, it means that this man actually made the direct connection with Infinite Mind -- Spirit -- and, having found it, he set it to work for him. He used it in his business.

10. The power of attention is called concentration; this power is directed by the will; for this reason we must concentrate or think of only the things we desire. Some are constantly concentrating upon happiness, abundance and harmony of every kind; as thought is creative it necessarily follows that this concentration inevitably leads to more abundance, more happiness and more harmony. It must be so. When we meet with success, abundance, or any other desirable condition, we naturally concentrate upon the effects of these things and thereby create more, and so it follows that much leads to more.
11. How an understanding of this principle can be utilized in the business world is well told by an associate of mine:
12. Spirit, whatever else it may or may not be, must be considered as the Essence of Consciousness, the Substance of Mind, the reality underlying Thought. And as all ideas are phases of the activity of Consciousness, Mind or Thought, it follows that in Spirit, and in it alone, is to be found the Ultimate Fact, the Real Thing, or Idea.
13. This being admitted, does it not seem reasonable to hold that a true understanding of Spirit, and its laws of manifestation, would be about the most practical thing that a practical person can hope to find? Does it not seem certain that if the practical people of the world could but realize this fact, they would fall all over themselves in getting to the place in which they might obtain such knowledge of spiritual things and laws? These people are smart; they need only to grasp this fundamental fact in order to move in the direction of that which is the essence of all achievement.
14. Let me give you a concrete example. I know a man in Chicago whom I had always considered to not be spiritual. He had made several successes in life; and also several not.
15. The last time I had a talk with him he was not even close to successful as compared with his former business condition. It looked as if he had indeed reached no more chances, for he was well advanced into the stage of middle-age, and new ideas came not as quickly, and as frequently to him than in former years.

1. The money consciousness is an attitude of mind; it is the open door to the arteries of commerce. It is the receptive attitude. Desire is the attractive force which sets the current in motion and love is the great pipe by which the current is opened and flows completely straight, towards us.
2. Love is just the same as money consciousness; it is wealth consciousness, and as the law is perfect we get exactly what we give; if we love we get what we loved. Money weaves itself into the entire fabric of our very existence; it engages the best thought of the best minds.
3. We make money by making friends, and we enlarge our circle of friends by making money for them, by helping them, by being of service to them. The first law of success then is service, and this in turn is built on integrity and justice. The person who at least is fair in their intention is simply intelligent; they have hit the fundamental law of all exchange; they are possible; they will win surely and certainly; they will know it; they will know they are winning, and they are destined to certain success. They can play fair with the Infinite. The law of compensation will demand of them a service for a service and a favor for a favor.
4. The forces of life are volatile; they are composed of our thoughts and ideals and these in turn are moulded into form; our task is to keep an open mind, to constantly reach out for the new, to recognize opportunity, to be interested in the race only, for the pleasure is in the pursuit only.
5. You can make a money magnet of yourself, but to do so you must first consider how you can make money for other people. If you have the necessary insight to perceive and utilize opportunities and favorable conditions and recognize values, you can put yourself in position to take advantage of them, but your greatest success will come as you are enabled to assist others. What benefits one must benefit all.

30. 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.
31. 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.

24. This influence or control over the body by mind is coming to be more and more generally understood, and many physicians are now giving the matter their earnest attention. Dr. Albert T. Shofield, who has written several important books on the subject, says, The subject of mental therapeutics is still ignored in medical works generally. In our physiologies no references is made to the central controlling power that rules the body for its good, and the power of the mind over the body is seldom spoken of.
25. No doubt many physicians treat nervous conditions of functional origin wisely and well, but what we contend is that the knowledge they display was taught at no school, was learned from no book, but it is intuitive and empirical.
26. This is not as it should be. The power of mental therapeutics should be the subject of careful, special and scientific teaching in every medical school.
27. There can be no doubt that some patients are aware how much they can do for themselves. What the patient can do for themselves, the forces they can set in motion are becoming known. We are inclined to believe that they are far greater than most imagine, and will undoubtedly be used more and more. Mental therapeutics may be directed by the patient themselves to calming the mind in excitement, by arousing feelings of joy, hope, faith, and love; by suggesting motives for exertion, by regular mental work, by diverting the thoughts.
28. For your exercise this week concentrate on the beautiful lines inspired by Tennyson, Speak to the Universal, thou, for the Universal hears, and spirit with spirit can meet, Closer is the Universal than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet. Then try to realize that when you do Speak to the Universal you are in touch with Omnipotence.
29. This realization and recognition of this Omnipresent power will quickly bring any and every form of health, joy, harmony and perfection.

15. Every cell in your body is intelligent and will respond to your direction. The cells are all creators and will create the exact pattern which you give them.
16. Therefore, when perfect images are placed before the subjective, the creative energies will build a perfect body.
17. Brain cells are constructed in the same way. The quality of the brain is governed by the state of mind, or mental attitude, so that if desirable mental attitudes are conveyed to the subjective they will in turn be transferred to the body; we can therefore readily see that if we wish the body to manifest health, strength and vitality this must be the predominant thought.
18. We know then that every element of the human body is the result of a rate of vibration.
19. We know that mental action is a rate of vibration.
20. We know that a higher rate of vibration governs, modifies, controls, changes, or destroys a lower rate of vibration.
21. We know that the rate of vibration is governed by the character of brain cells, and finally,
22. We know how to create these brain cells; therefore,
23. We know how to make any physical change in the body we desire, and having secured a working knowledge of the power of mind to this extent, we have come to know that we are practically totally free in our ability to place ourselves in harmony with natural law, which is omnipotent.

11. Let us see how the action of the subconscious mind over the body differs. Your skin may become not complete; thousands of cells begin the work of healing at once; in a few days or a few weeks the work is complete. You may even have a bone that has become not whole. No surgeon on earth can weld the parts together (I am not referring to the insertion of rods or other devices to strengthen or replace bones). They may set the bone for you, and the subjective mind will immediately begin the process of welding the parts together, and in a short time the bone is as solid as it ever was. You may swallow something that is really not good for your immediate health; the subjective mind will immediately discover the danger and make swift efforts to eliminate it. You may become infected with a non healthy bacteria; the subjective will at once commence to build a wall around the infected area and destroy the infection by absorbing it in the white blood corpuscles which it supplies for the purpose.
12. These processes of the subconscious mind usually proceed without our personal knowledge or direction, and so long as we leave them alone the result is perfect, and, as these millions of repair cells are all intelligent and respond to our thought, they are often freed and rendered potent by our thoughts of courage, certainty, and calmness. They are like a company of workers, ready to start an important piece of work, and every time they get started on the undertaking a flow is established, and plans stay consistent, they then get courageous and complete the work.
13. The way to health is founded on the law of vibration, which is the basis of all science, and this law is brought into operation by the mind, the world within. It is a matter of individual effort and practice. Our world of power is within; if we are wise we shall invest our time and effort in trying to deal with causes as we find them in the world within, which is an internal, the source.
14. We shall always find the cause in the world within; by changing the cause, we change the effect.

201. 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.
202. What is the source of this power?
     The Universal Mind, from which all things proceed, and which is one and indivisible.
203. How is this power being manifested?
     Through the individual, each individual is a channel whereby this energy is being differentiated in form.
204. 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.
205. What is the result of this discovery?
     The result is marvelous, it opens unique and abundant opportunity.
206. How, then, may we create perfect conditions?
     By becoming conscious of our Unity with the source of all power.
207. 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.
208. How do experiences come to us?
     Through the law of attraction.
209. How is this law brought into operation?
     By our predominant mental attitude.
210. 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.

21. 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.
22. 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.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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.

17. Aspire to the highest possible attainments in anything you may undertake, for the mind forces are ever ready to lend themselves to a purposeful will in the effort to crystallize its highest aspirations into acts, accomplishments, and events. An illustration of how these mind forces operate is suggested by the method in which all our habits are formed. We do a thing, then do it again, and again, and again, until it becomes easy and perhaps almost automatic; and the same rule applies in forming any and all good habits; we start doing a thing, and then seek it again, and again until we are entirely bound to it; and if we do succeed now and then, we should by all means gain hope, for the law is absolute and invincible and gives us credit for every effort and every success, even though our efforts and successes are perhaps not constant.
18. There is total freedom to what this law can do for you; dare to believe in your own idea; remember that Nature is plastic to the ideal; think of the ideal as an already accomplished fact.
19. The real field of life is one of ideas; it is being played out by all; on the one side is the constructive and creative thought, on the other side the non constructive and non positive thought; the creative thought is dominated by an ideal, the non active thought does not see the underlying truth of things. On both sides are people of science, people of letters, and people of affairs.
20. On the creative side are people who spend their time in laboratories, or over microscopes and telescopes, side by side with the people who dominate the commercial, political, and scientific world; on the positive side are people who spend their time investigating new and better ways, people who understand what knowledge is, states people who know and do what is right, and all the people who prefer to progress, who are eternally looking forward, who see the world without, and know the world within.

13. This mental attitude is our personality and is composed of the thoughts which we have been creating in our own mind; therefore, if we wish a change in conditions all that is necessary is to change our thought; this will in turn change our mental attitude, which will in turn change our personality, which will in turn change the persons, things and conditions, or, the experiences with which we meet in life.
14. It is, however, no easy matter to change the mental attitude, but by persistent effort it may be accomplished; the mental attitude is patterned after the mental pictures which have been photographed on the brain; if you do like the pictures, keep them; Otherwise create new positive pictures, this is the art of visualization.
15. As soon as you have done this you will begin to attract new things, and the new things will correspond to the new pictures. To do this: impress on the mind a perfect picture of the desire which you wish to have objectified and continue to hold the picture in mind until results are obtained.
16. If the desire is one which requires determination, ability, talent, courage, power or any other spiritual power, these are necessary essentials for your picture; build them in; they are the vital part of the picture; they are the feeling which combines with thought and creates the irresistible magnetic power which draws the things you require to you. They give your picture life, and life means growth, and as soon as it begins to grow, the result is practically assured.

6. Large ideas have a tendency to eliminate all smaller ideas so that it is well to hold ideas large enough to counteract and destroy all small or undesirable tendencies. This will clear your path. You also become conscious of a larger world of thought, thereby increasing your mental capacity as well as placing yourself in position to accomplish something of value.
7. This is one of the secrets of success, one of the methods of organizing victory, one of the accomplishments of the Master-mind. The Master-mind thinks big thoughts. The creative energies of mind find handling large situations just as easily as small ones. Mind is just as much present in the Infinitely large as in the Infinitely small.
8. When we realize these facts concerning mind we understand how we may bring ourselves any condition by creating the corresponding conditions in our consciousness, because everything which is held for any length of time in the consciousness, eventually becomes impressed upon the subconscious and thus becomes a pattern which the creative energy will weave into the life and environment of the individual.
9. In this way conditions are produced and we find that our lives are simply the reflection of our predominant thoughts, our mental attitude; we see then that the science of correct thinking is the one science, that includes all other sciences.
10. From this science we learn that every thought creates an impression on the brain, that these impressions create mental tendencies, and these tendencies create character, ability and purpose, and that the combined action of character, ability and purpose determines the experiences with which we shall meet in life.
11. These experiences come to us through the law of attraction; through the action of this law we meet in the world without the experiences which correspond to our world within.
12. The predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and the law is that like attracts like, consequently the mental attitude will invariably attract such conditions as correspond to its nature.

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.

1. The spirit of a thing is that thing; it is necessarily fixed, changeless and eternal. The spirit of you is -- you; without the spirit you would be nothing. It becomes active through your recognition of it and its possibilities.
2. You may have all the wealth in the world, but you must recognize it and make use of it, for it to have value; so with your spiritual wealth: you must recognize it and use it, for it to have value. The one and only condition of spiritual power is use and recognition.
3. All great things come through recognition; the scepter of power is consciousness, and thought is its messenger, and this messenger is constantly moulding the realities of the invisible world into the conditions and environments of your objective world.
4. Thinking is the true business of life, power is the result. You are at all times dealing with the magical power of thought and consciousness. What results can you expect so long as you remain aware of the power which has been placed within your control?
5. So long as you do this you free yourself to wonderful conditions, and make of yourself a valuable ally for those who think; those who recognize their power; those who know that when we are willing to think we shall have freedom, and the more we think the more freedom we shall have, and the more we shall get for our freedom.
6. The secret of power is a perfect understanding of the principles, forces, methods and combinations of Mind, and a perfect understanding of our relationship to the Universal Mind. It is well to remember that this principle is perfect and permanent; because this is so, it is reliable; all principles are perfect and permanent.
7. This stability is your opportunity; you are its active attribute, the channel for its activity; the Universal can act only through the individual.
