Part Fourteen - Page 1

  1. The Universal Energy in which all motion, light, heat, and color have their origin, is free of the many effects of which it is the cause, it is supreme over them all. This Universal Substance is the source of all Power, Wisdom and Intelligence.
  2. To recognize this Intelligence is to acquaint yourself with the knowing quality of Mind and through it to move upon the Universal Substance, and bring it into harmonious relations in your affairs.
  3. This is something that the most learned physical science teacher has not attempted -- a field of discovery upon which they have not yet launched; in fact, but few of the materialistic schools have ever caught the first ray of this light. It does not seem to have dawned upon them that wisdom is just as much present everywhere as are force and substance.
  4. Some will say, if these principles are true, why are we not demonstrating them? As the fundamental principle is obviously correct, why do we not get proper results? We do. We get results in exact accordance with our understanding of the law and our ability to make the proper application. We secured no results from the laws governing electricity until someone formulated the law and showed us how to apply it.
  5. This puts us in an entirely new relation to our environment, opening up possibilities previously undreamed of, and this by an orderly sequence of law which is naturally involved in our new mental attitude.
  6. Mind is creative and the principle upon which this law is based.
  7. It is sound and legitimate and is inherent in the nature of things; this creative power originates in the Universal, which is the source and fountain of all energy and substance, the individual is simply the channel for the distribution of this energy. The individual is the means by which the Universal produces the various combinations which result in the formation of phenomena.

  1. The intention governs the attention. Power comes through repose. It is by concentration that deep thoughts, wise speech, and all forces of high potentiality are accomplished.
  2. It is in the Silence that you get into touch with the Omnipotent power of the subconscious mind from which all power is evolved.
  3. Those who desire wisdom, power, or permanent success of any kind will find it only within; it is an unfoldment. The unthinking may conclude that the silence is very simple and easily attained, but it should be remembered that only in absolute silence may one come into contact with Divinity itself; may learn of the unchangeable law and open for themselves the channels by which persistent practice and concentration lead to perfection.
  4. This week go to the same room, take the same chair, the same position as previously; be sure to relax, let go, both mentally and physically; always do this; always do any mental work when calm and relaxed; see that there are relaxed muscles and nerves, that you are entirely comfortable. Now realize your unity with omnipotence; get into touch with this power, come into a deep and vital understanding, appreciation, and realization of the fact that your ability to think is your ability to act upon the Universal Mind, and bring it into manifestation, realize that it will meet any and every requirement; that you have exactly the same potential ability which any individual ever did have or ever will have, because each is but an expression or manifestation of the One, all are parts of the whole, they are the same in kind and quality, the only difference being one of degree.
Thought cannot conceive of anything that may not be brought to expression. He who first uttered it may be only the suggester, but the doer will appear. - Wilson.

Part Eleven - Page 6

  1. Thought reaches its loftiest activity when plunged into its own mysterious depth; when it breaks through the narrow compass of self and passes from truth to truth to the region of eternal light, where all which is, was or ever will be, melt into one grand harmony.
  2. From this process of self contemplation comes inspiration which is creative intelligence, and which is superior to every element, force or law of nature, because it can understand, modify, govern and apply them to its own ends and purposes and therefore possess them.
  3. Wisdom begins with the dawn of reason, and reason is but an understanding of the knowledge and principles whereby we may know the true meaning of things. Wisdom, then, is illuminated reason, and this wisdom leads to humility, for humility is a large part of Wisdom.
  4. We all know many who have achieved the seemingly impossible, who have realized life-long dreams, who have changed everything including themselves. We have sometimes marveled at the demonstration of an apparently irresistible power, which seemed to be ever available just when it was most needed, but it is all clear now. All that is required is an understanding of certain definite fundamental principles and their proper application.
  5. For your exercise this week, concentrate on this statement, Whatsoever things you desire, when you meditate, believe that you receive them and you shall have them; notice that there is complete freedom, Whatsoever things is very definite and implies that the only limitation which is placed upon us in our ability to think, to be equal to the occasion, to rise to the emergency, to remember that Faith is a substance, the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Death is but the natural process whereby all material forms are thrown into the crucible for reproduction in fresh diversity.

  1. Harmony in the world within results in optimism and affluence; affluence within results in affluence without.
  2. The world without reflects the circumstances and the conditions of the consciousness within.
  3. When we find wisdom in the world within, we shall have the understanding to discern the marvelous possibilities in this world within, and we shall be given the power to make these possibilities manifest in the world without.
  4. As we become conscious of the wisdom in the world within, we mentally take possession of this wisdom, and by taking mental possession we come into actual possession of the power and wisdom necessary to bring into manifestation the essentials necessary for our most complete and harmonious development.
  5. The world within is the practical world in which the people of power generate courage, hope, enthusiasm, confidence, trust and faith, by which they are given the fine intelligence to see the vision and the practical skill to make the vision real.
  6. Life is an unfoldment. What comes to us in the world without is what we already possess in the world within.
  7. All possession is based on consciousness. All gain is the result of an accumulative consciousness.
  8. Mental efficiency is contingent upon harmony - Charles F. Haanel picture of two flowers
  9. Mental efficiency is contingent upon harmony; accord means clarity; therefore, those who would acquire power must be in harmony with Natural Law.
  10. We are related to the world without by the objective mind. The brain is the organ of this mind and the cerebro-spinal system of nerves puts us in conscious communication with every part of the body. This system of nerves responds to every sensation of light, heat, odor, sound and taste.
  11. When this mind thinks correctly, when it understands the truth, when the thoughts sent through the cerebro-spinal nervous system to the body are constructive, these sensations are pleasant, harmonious.
