-
revealing to the human race the mysteries of being
there is nothing new under the sun
-
Truth is bringing to light only what has been known to the few in all generations
must know the truth
-
man may understand the great laws that govern his life.
He must learn to control his own destiny, to heal his own body and bring happiness to his own soul
-
He must learn to control his own destiny, to heal his own body and bring happiness to his own soul.
Ignorance must vanish and understanding must be ushered in
-
Man is no longer to be governed by anything outside himself
the realization of the individual
-
There is a power in and through all that is working this great transformation
all that is in line with the Truth must still prosper
-
we are in the age of the unifying of all people and all things into the Ever Present One
The temple not made with hands is now being silently built by the emancipated souls of this world
-
what each soul must discover for himself
he stands in the midst of an eternal creative power which presses itself around his own thought, and casts back to him glorified all that he thinks
-
it awakens within the consciousness of one single individual the realization that the mind of the Universe (which is the only mind that there is) is his own mind
the creative power of this mind is his also
-
the manifestation of this mind is his own individuality
the love and power and peace of this mind is within himself
-
In the beginning, God only, No manifest universe, nothing of form or life
God was the Spirit of All that was to be but He had not yet moved
-
Then this All-Being moved or began to create
what is the world, ourselves included, made out of and how did we and all else come into being
-
These questions correctly answered would solve the problem of being and set humanity free
The Spirit was all, there was nothing else but Itself, All-Inclusive, Everywhere, Infinite
-
This All-Spirit could not have had the impulse to move unless It were self conscious, therefore the Spirit is the Power that knows Itself
It is accordingly All Knowing as well as All Present. Being one, undivided, whatever It knows, It knows all over instantly
-
the Spirit operates through self knowing
It moves and that inner movement must be one of Infinite power moving upon Itself since It is all and with a definite purpose
-
The Spirit then, moves upon Itself and makes out of Itself all that is made
what we see comes from what we do not see, through some inner intelligence at work, which knows there is no power but Itself
-
The things that are seen are not made of the things that do appear
The only possible operation of intelligence is thought or The Word
-
So all things were made by the Word and Without the Word was not anything made that hath been made
The Spirit speaks and since there is nothing but the Spirit and it is All-Power, it has only to speak and it is done, the Word was with God and the Word was God
-
From the Word then, comes forth all that appears
Each life, human or divine, each manifestation is a different kind of word coming into expression
-
Spirit needs nothing to help It
It is self conscious and has all power and all ability to do whatever It wishes to accomplish, It operates simply by speaking
-
this great Ceaseless Cause
this something from which all things come
-
Being all-knowledge It must know Itself and must know everything It creates so It knows us and It knows everyone
Since It is All-Presence we can contact It anywhere and will never have to go to some particular spot to find It
-
As It is All Knowing and operates through the power of the Word, It knows everything we think
whatever this process of creation is, we find it is always an inner thought process
-
the Spirit makes all things out of Itself
Everything comes into being without effort and when we exert ourselves we are not in accord with the Creative Spirit in the way in which It works
-
The impulse of the Spirit to move must be
caused by a desire to express what It feels Itself to be, Beauty, Form, Color, Life, Love and Power
All things else we find in the manifest universe are attributes of the Spirit and are caused to spring into being through the Word, because the Spirit wants to enjoy Itself
-
We find then, that the Word which is the inner activity of thought comes first in the
creative series and all else comes from the effect of the Word operating upon a universal substance
the Word precedes all else, the Word is what we are looking for and when we get it we shall have what the world has sought
-
if we wish to prove the power of the Spirit in our lives, look not to outside things or effects but to the Word alone
The human eye sees and the human hand touches only that which is an effect
-
Unseen law controls everything but this Law also is an effect
Law did not make itself, the Law is not intelligence or causation
-
This Word or the activity of the Spirit is the cause of the law and the law in its place is the cause of the thing and the thing is always an effect, that is it did not make itself, it is a result
The Word always comes first in the creative series
-
When we realize that we are like God (and we could not be otherwise, being made out of God) we will realize that our word also has power
If there is but One Mind then it follows that our word, our thought is the activity of that One Mind in our consciousness
-
The power that holds the universe in their place is the same power that flows through each of us
We must place the Word where it belongs, whether it is the word of God in the Universe or the word of a person in the individual
-
the word is always first, before all else, in the beginning
The real sequence is this, Cause, Spirit, Intelligence, God, the Word, the activity of Intelligence, the effect or the visible thing, All things are made out of the same thing
-
What we need to do is to learn how to use the word so that all will come to see that they are creative centers within themselves
Knowing that Mind is, we have a principle that is absolute, it is exact, it is going to correspond to our thinking about it
-
The first great necessity is to believe this, without belief we can do nothing
It is done unto you even as you have believed
-
Always it is done unto people as they believe and there is something that does it which never fails
We must believe that our word is formed upon and around by this creative Mind
-
we wish to create activity in our business, we believe that our word is law about that thing and there is something that takes our thought and executes it for us
If we have accepted the fact that all is mind and that the thought is the thing, we shall see at once that our word is the power behind the thing and that it depends upon the word or thought that we are sending out
-
So plastic is mind, so receptive, that the slightest thought makes an impression upon it
People who think many kinds of thought must expect to receive a confused manifestation in their lives
-
If a gardener plants a thousand kinds of seeds, he will get a thousand kinds of plants, it is the same in mind
everything depends upon our mental concepts. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he, the creative power of thought
-
Jesus taught, the words which I speak unto you, they are Spirit and they are life
The Centurion coming to Jesus recognized the power of the word spoken He said, I also am one in authority but his authority was on the physical plane
-
he saw that Jesus had authority on a Spiritual plane, for he said, Speak the word only
the word is not afar off but in our own mouth, it is within every living soul
-
We must take the responsibility for our own lives. All must awake to the facts that they have absolute control over their lives and that nothing can happen by chance
Then they will have a broader concept of God, a greater tolerance for their neighbor and a greater realization of their own divine nature. What a relief from strenuous labor, no more struggle or strife
-
Be still and know that I am God and beside me there is none other
The Spirit being all there is, we cannot conceive of anything that can hinder its working
-
When the Spirit has spoken, the Word becomes Law, for before the Law is the Word, It precedes all else
First is Absolute Intelligence, All Power, All Presence, All Causation, then the movement upon itself through the power of the Word, then the Word becoming Law, the Law producing the thing and holding it in place
-
So long as the Word exists the thing will exist, for since the Word is All Power there is nothing beside It
I Am that I Am and beside me there is none other, This I Am is Spirit, God, All
-
There is no physical explanation for anything in the universe, all causation is Spirit and all effect spiritual
We are not living in a physical world but in a spiritual world inhabited with spiritual ideas, We are now living in Spirit
-
God or Spirit governs the universe through great mental laws that work out the divine will and purpose, always operating from Intelligence
This Intelligence is so vast, and the power so great that our human minds cannot even grasp it
-
learn something of the way in which it works and by harmonizing ourselves with it, to so align ourselves with Spirit that our lives may be controlled by the great harmony that obtains in all the higher laws of nature but has been very imperfectly manifested in us
We find in the physical universe that automatic laws govern everything
-
the tree cannot say I will not, because of the law that holds it in place. It grows without any volition of its own
when we come to the human we find a different manifestation of the Spirit, a being who can say, I choose, man is a individual, is free and wants
-
Man marks the earth with ruin, he has not found his true nature
The very thing that should free him and eventually will do so, now limits him
-
God could not make an individual without
making him able to think and he cannot think without bringing upon himself the results of his thought, good or bad
This does not mean using two powers but using the One from two standpoints. Nothing in itself is either good or bad. All things exist in mind as a potentiality
-
Mind is eternally acting upon thought, continually producing its own images from mind and casting them out into manifestation
Man must be the outcome of the desire of the Spirit to make something which expresses the same life that It feels
-
he must have his freedom and be let alone to discover his own nature to return love to his Creator only when he chooses to do so
At the doorway then, of the human mind this wonderful God has to wait, Behold, I stand at the door and knock, the opening must be on the part of the individual
-
Man lives in a mind that presses in upon him from all sides with infinite possibilities, with infinite creative power
The divine urge of infinite love crowds itself upon him and awaits his recognition
-
Being the image of this Power, his thought also must be the Word or cause in the life. At the center of his being is all the power that he will need on the path of his unfoldment
All the mind that man has is as much of this Infinite Mind as he allows to flow through him
-
we are coming to see that God and mankind are one and that One is simply awaiting man’s recognition, that he may spring into being and become to man all that he could wish or want
As the father has inherent life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life within himself, It could not be otherwise
-
We are all in Mind and Mind is always creating for us as we think and as we are thinking creatures, always thinking, our happiness depends upon our thought
