To improve our conditions we must first improve ourselves.
The vibrations of mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence.
Premature wealth or position cannot be retained because it has not been earned; we get only what we give, and those who try to get without giving always find that the law of compensation is relentlessly bringing about an exact equilibrium.
Truth contains a vital principle and will manifest itself.
All power that anyone can possibly use is within, waiting to be made visible, first by recognizing it, then affirming it as ours.
Individuality is a real power inherent in all and the development and consequent expression of this power enables one to assume the responsibility of directing his own footsteps rather than stampeding after some self-assertive bell-wether.
It is thus that you may lead a charmed life and be forever protected from all harm; it is thus you may become a positive force whereby conditions of opulence and harmony may be attracted to you.
The time and thought which most persons waste in aimless effort would accomplish wonders if 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, to the exclusion of all other thoughts.
The absolute truth is that the ‘I’ is perfect and complete; the real ‘I’ is spiritual and can therefor never be less than perfect; it can never have any lack, limitation, or disease.
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, or Materialization, will have been accomplished.
All growth is from within. This is evident in all nature. Every plant, every animal, every human is a living testimony to this great law, and the error of the ages is in looking for strength or power from without.
I can be whatever I will to be.
Our future is entirely within our own control. It is not at the mercy of any capricious or uncertain external power.
Eliminate, therefore, any possible tendency to complain of conditions as they have been or as they are, because it rests with you to change them and make them what you would like them to be.
The last centuries saw the most magnificent material progress in history, and the present century is set to produce the greatest progress in mental and spiritual power.
Walker says, “Mind in itself is believed to be a subtle form of static energy, from which arises the activities called ‘thought,’ which is the dynamic phase of mind. Mind is static energy, thought is dynamic energy – the two phases of the same thing.” Thought is therefore the vibratory force formed by converting static mind into dynamic mind.
FAITH is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!
Every thought therefore is a cause and every condition an effect; for this reason it is absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions.
Learn to keep the door shut, keep out of your mind, out of your office, and out of your world, every element that seeks admittance with no definite helpful end in view.
The positive thought will destroy the negative as certainly as light destroys darkness, and the results will be just as effectual.
