| Power of the Mind1 |
| Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life-think of it, dream of it,live on that idea. Let the brain,muscles,nerves,every part of your body,be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to SUCCESS........... If we really want to be BLESSED, and make others BLESSED,we must go DEEPER. |
| No force can be created; it can only be DIRECTED. Therefore, we must learn to control the grand powers that are already in our hands, and by WILL POWER make them SPIRITUAL, instead of merely animal. Thus it is clearly seen that CHASTITY is the cornerstone of all Morality and all Religion. |
| Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the Universe. As vibration continues, so thought remains in the form of thought until translated into action. For example, force is latent in the mans arm until he strikes a blow, when he translates it into activity. If we make ourselves PURE and the INSTRUMENTS of good thoughts, these will enter us. The GOOD SOUL will not be receptive to evil thoughts. |
| All the great Prophets, Saints, and Seers of the World- what did they do?In one span of life, they lived the whole life of humanity, traversed the whole length of time that it takes ordinary humanity to come to perfection.In one life, they PERFECT themselves, they have no thought for anything else,never live a moment for any other idea, and thus the way is shortened for them .This is what is meant by CONCENTRATION, intensifying the power of assimilation thus shortening the time. |
| Ninety percent of thought force is wasted by the ordinary human being, and therefore he is constantly committing blunders; the TRAINED MAN or MIND never makes a mistake. |
