Jesus Brooded Upon The Divine Imminence Until At Last He Could Declare, 'i And My Father Are One.'

Happiness Is Mental Harmony; Unhappiness Is Mental Inharmony.

If You Would Perfect Your Body, Guard Your Mind.

The Dreamers Are The Saviors Of The World. As The Visible World Is Sustained By The Invisible, So Men, Through All Their Trials And Sins And Sordid Vocations, Are Nourished By The Beautiful Visions Of Their Solitary Dreamers.

A Man Is Literally What He Thinks, His Character Being The Complete Sum Of All His Thoughts.

A Man's Mind May Be Likened To A Garden, Which May Be Intelligently Cultivated Or Allowed To Run Wild; But Whether Cultivated Or Neglected, It Must, And Will, Bring Forth. If No Useful Seeds Are Put Into It, Then An Abundance Of Useless Weed Seeds Will Fall Therein, And Will Continue To Produce Their Kind.

Our Life Is What Our Thoughts Make It. A Man Will Find That As He Alters His Thoughts Toward Things And Other People, Things And Other People Will Alter Towards Him.

The Circumstances Which A Man Encounters With Suffering Are The Result Of His Own Mental Inharmony.

When Mental Energy Is Allowed To Follow The Line Of Least Resistance And To Fall Into Easy Channels, It Is Called Weakness.

As He Thinks, So He Is; As He Continues To Think, So He Remains.

A Man Only Begins To Be A Man When He Ceases To Whine And Revile, And Commences To Search For The Hidden Justice Which Regulates His Life. And He Adapts His Mind To That Regulating Factor, He Ceases To Accuse Others As The Cause Of His Condition, And Builds Himself Up In Strong And Noble Thoughts; Ceases To Kick Against Circumstances, But Begins To Use Them As Aids To His More Rapid Progress, And As A Means Of The Hidden Powers And Possibilities Within Himself.

Every Action And Feeling Is Preceded By A Thought.

Positive Thinking

A Particular Train Of Thought Persisted In, Be It Good Or Bad, Cannot Fail To Produce Its Results On The Character And Circumstances. A Man Cannot Directly Choose His Circumstances, But He Can Choose His Thoughts, And So Indirectly, Yet Surely, Shape His Circumstances.

The Man Who Cannot Endure To Have His Errors And Shortcomings Brought To The Surface And Made Known, But Tries To Hide Them, Is Unfit To Walk The Highway Of Truth.

A Man Remains Ignorant Because He Loves Ignorance, And Chooses Ignorant Thoughts; A Man Becomes Wise Because He Loves Wisdom And Chooses Wise Thoughts.

Cease To Be A Disobedient Child In The School Of Experience, And Begin To Learn, With Humility And Patience, The Lessons That Are Set For Your Ultimate Perfection.

A Man Becomes Calm In The Measure That He Understands Himself As A Thought-evolved Being. For Such Knowledge Necessitates The Understanding Of Others As The Result Of Thought, And As He Develops A Right Understanding, And Sees Ever More Clearly The Internal Relations Of Things By The Action Of Cause And Effect, He Ceases To Fuss, Fume, Worry, And Grieve. He Remains Poised, Steadfast, Serene.

Spiritual Meditation Is The Pathway To Divinity. It Is A Mystic Ladder Which Reaches From Earth To Heaven, From Error To Truth, From Pain To Peace.

A Man Can Only Rise, Conquer, And Achieve By Lifting Up His Thoughts.

Law Of Attraction

To Desire Is To Obtain; To Aspire Is To Achieve.

The Outer Conditions Of A Person's Life Will Always Be Found To Be Harmoniously Related To His Inner State...men Do Not Attract That Which They Want, But That Which They Are.

There Can Be No Progress, No Achievement Without Sacrifice.

Circumstance Does Not Make The Man; It Reveals Him To Himself.

The More Intense The Nature Of A Man, The More Readily Will He Find Meditation, And The More Successfully Will He Practice It.

Congratulations

Meditation Practice

Harmony Is One Phase Of The Law Whose Spiritual Expression Is Love.

As The Physically Weak Man Can Make Himself Strong By Careful And Patient Training, So The Man Of Weak Thoughts Can Make Them Strong By Exercising Himself In Right Thinking.

It Is A Process Of Diverting One's Scattered Forces Into One Powerful Channel.

Focus And Concentration

Good Thoughts Bear Good Fruit, Bad Thoughts Bear Bad Fruit.

Positive Thinking

The Vision That You Glorify In Your Mind, The Ideal That You Enthrone In Your Heart - This You Will Build Your Life By, This You Will Become.

A Man Is Not Rightly Conditioned Until He Is A Happy, Healthy, And Prosperous Being; And Happiness, Health, And Prosperity Are The Result Of A Harmonious Adjustment Of The Inner With The Outer Of The Man With His Surroundings.

The Outer Conditions Of A Person's Life Will Always Be Found To Reflect Their Inner Beliefs.

The Will To Do Springs From The Knowledge That We Can Do.

He Who Cherishes A Beautiful Vision, A Lofty Ideal In His Heart, Will One Day Realize It.

Men Are Anxious To Improve Their Circumstances, But Are Unwilling To Improve Themselves; They Therefore Remain Bound.

There Can Be No Progress Nor Achievement Without Sacrifice, And A Man's Worldly Success Will Be By The Measure That He Sacrifices His Confused Animal Thoughts, And Fixes His Mind On The Development Of His Plans, And The Strengthening Of His Resolution And Self-reliance.

No Man Is Hindered By Another; He Is Only Hindered By Himself. No Man Suffers Because Of Another; He Suffers Only Because Of Himself.

Self-control Is Strength. Right Thought Is Mastery. Calmness Is Power.

As A Man Thinketh In His Heart, So Shall He Be

A Man Sooner Or Later Discovers That He Is The Master-gardener Of His Soul, The Director Of His Life.

He Who Would Accomplish Little Must Sacrifice Little; He Who Would Achieve Much Must Sacrifice Much; He Who Would Attain Highly Must Sacrifice Greatly.

Act Is The Blossom Of Thought; And Joy And Suffering Are Its Fruits; Thus Does A Man Garner In The Sweet And Biter Fruitage Of His Own Husbandry

He Thinks In Secret, And It Comes To Pass: Environment Is But His Looking Glass.

They Who Have Conquered Doubt And Fear Have Conquered Failure.

The Greatest Achievement Was At First And For A Time A Dream. The Oak Sleeps In The Acorn, The Bird Waits In The Egg, And In The Highest Vision Of The Soul A Waking Angel Stirs. Dreams Are The Seedlings Of Realities.

As In The Rankest Soil The Most Beautiful Flowers Are Grown, So In The Dark Soil Of Poverty The Choicest Flowers Of Humanity Have Developed And Bloomed.

The Key To Happiness Is Having Dreams; The Key To Success Is Making Them Come True.

Men Do Not Attract That Which They Want, But That Which They Are.

The Body Is The Servant Of The Mind. It Obeys The Operations Of The Mind, Whether They Be Deliberately Chosen Or Automatically Expressed.

In All Human Affairs There Are Efforts, And There Are Results, And The Strength Of The Effort Is The Measure Of The Result.

Service Culture

They Who Have No Central Purpose In Their Life Fall An Easy Prey To Petty Worries, Fears, Troubles, And Self-pitying, All Of Which Are Indications Of Weakness, Which Lead, Just As Surely As Deliberately Planned Sins (though By A Different Route), To Failure, Unhappiness, And Loss, For Weakness Cannot Persist In A Power Evolving Universe.

Circumstances Do Not Make The Man, They Reveal Him.

He Who Would Be Useful, Strong, And Happy Must Cease To Be A Passive Receptacle For The Negative, Beggarly, And Impure Streams Of Thought.

No Temptation Can Gravitate To A Man Unless There Is That Is His Heart Which Is Capable Of Responding To It.

Think Lovingly, Speak Lovingly, Act Lovingly, And Every Need Shall Be Supplied.

A Noble And God-like Character Is Not A Thing Of Favor Or Chance, But Is The Natural Result Of Continued Effort In Right Thinking, The Effect Of Long-cherished Association With God-like Thoughts.

All That You Accomplish Or Fail To Accomplish With Your Life Is The Direct Result Of Your Thoughts.

As There Are Silent Depths In The Ocean Which The Fiercest Storm Cannot Reach, So There Are Silent, Holy Depths Of The Hearts Of People Which The Storm Of Sin And Sorrow Can Never Disturb. To Reach This Silence And To Live Consciously In It Is Peace.

The Within Is Ceaselessly Becoming The Without. From The State Of A Man's Heart Doth Proceed The Conditions Of His Life; His Thoughts Blossom Into Deeds, And His Deeds Bear The Fruitage Of Character And Destiny.

Men Are Anxious To Improve Their Circumstances, But Are Unwilling To Improve Themselves; They Therefore Remain Bound. The Man Who Does Not Shrink From Self-crucifixion Can Never Fail To Accomplish The Object Upon Which His Heart Is Set. This Is True Of Earthly As Of Heavenly Things. Even The Man Whose Object Is To Acquire Wealth Must Be Prepared To Make Great Personal Sacrifices Before He Can Accomplish His Object; And How Much More So He Who Would Realize A Strong And Well-poised Life.

Work Joyfully And Peacefully, Knowing That Right Thoughts And Right Efforts Inevitably Bring About Right Results.

Rely Upon Your Own Judgment; Be True To Your Own Conscience; Follow The Light That Is Within You; All Outward Lights Are So Many Will-o'-the-wisps. There Will Be Those Who Tell You That You Are Foolish; That Your Judgment Is Faulty; That Your Conscience Is All Awry, And That The Light Within You Is Darkness; But Heed Them Not. If What They Say Is True, The Sooner You, As A Searcher Of Wisdom, Find It Out The Better, And You Can Only Make That Discovery By Bringing Your Powers To The Test. Therefore, Pursue Your Course Bravely.

For True Success Ask Yourself These Four Questions: Why? Why Not? Why Not Me? Why Not Now?

Fixedness Of Purpose Is The Root Of All Successful Efforts.

The Soul Attracts That Which It Secretly Harbors; That Which It Loves, And Also That Which It Fears.

Law Of Attraction

Man Is Buffeted By Circumstances So Long As He Believes Himself To Be The Creature Of Outside Conditions, But When He Realizes That He Is A Creative Power, And That He May Command The Hidden Soil And Seeds Of His Being Out Of Which Circumstances Grow, He Then Becomes The Rightful Master Of Himself.

Suffering Is Always The Effect Of Wrong Thought In Some Direction. It Is An Indication That The Individual Is Out Of Harmony With Himself, With The Law Of His Being.

Man Is Made Or Unmade By Himself. In The Armory Of Thought He Forges The Weapons By Which He Destroys Himself. He Also Fashions The Tools With Which He Builds For Himself Heavenly Mansions Of Joy And Strength And Peace.

Let There Be Nothing Within Thee That Is Not Very Beautiful And Very Gentle, And There Will Be Nothing Without Thee That Is Not Beautiful And Softened By The Spell Of Thy Presence.

You Will Become As Small As Your Controlling Desire; As Great As You Dominant Aspiration.

The Soul Attracts That Which It Secretly Harbors; That Which It Loves, And Also That Which It Fears. It Reaches The Height Of Its Cherished Aspirations. It Falls To The Level Of Its Unchastened Desires - And Circumstances Are The Means By Which The Soul Receives Its Own.

Mind Is The Master Weaver, Both Of The Inner Garment Of Character And The Outer Garment Of Circumstance.

Positive Thinking

Man's Mind May Be Likened To A Garden, Which May Be Intelligently Cultivated Or Allowed To Run Wild.

If You Real Desire Is To Be Good, There Is No Need To Wait For The Money Before You Do It; You Can Do It Now, This Very Moment, And Just Where You Are.

And I May Stand Where Health, Success, And Power Await My Coming, If, Each Fleeting Hour I Cling To Love And Patience; And Abide With Stainlessness; And Never Step Aside From High Integrity; So Shall I See At Last The Land Of Immortality.

The More Tranquil A Man Becomes, The Greater Is His Success, His Influence, His Power For Good. Calmness Of Mind Is One Of The Beautiful Jewels Of Wisdom.

The Law Of Harvest Is To Reap More Than You Sow. Sow An Act, And You Reap A Habit. Sow A Habit And You Reap A Character. Sow A Character And You Reap A Destiny.

Calmness Of Mind Is One Of The Beautiful Jewels Of Wisdom. It Is The Result Of Long And Patient Effort In Self-control. Its Presence Is An Indication Of Ripened Experience, And Of A More Than Ordinary Knowledge Of The Laws And Operations Of Thought.

A Person Is Limited Only By The Thoughts That He Chooses.

Law Of Attraction

Thus Meditating You Will No Longer Strive To Build Yourself Up In Your Prejudices, But, Forgetting Self, You Will Remember Only That You Are Seeking The Truth.

As The Plant Springs From, And Could Not Be Without, The Seed, So Every Act Of Man Springs From The Hidden Seeds Of Thought, And Could Not Have Appeared Without Them.

A Man Has To Learn That He Cannot Command Things, But That He Can Command Himself; That He Cannot Coerce The Wills Of Others, But That He Can Mold And Master His Own Will: And Things Serve Him Who Serves Truth; People Seek Guidance Of Him Who Is Master Of Himself.

Good Thoughts And Actions Can Never Produce Bad Results; Bad Thoughts And Actions Can Never Produce Good Results … We Understand This Law In The Natural World, And Work With It; But Few Understand It In The Mental And Moral World—although Its Operation There Is Just As Simple And Undeviating— And They, Therefore, Do Not Cooperate With It.

Man, As A Spiritual Being, Cannot Be Maintained In Strength, Uprightness, And Peace Except If He Periodically Withdraw Himself From The Outer World Of Perishable Things And Reach Inwardly Towards The Abiding And Imperishable Realities.

Thought Is The Fountain Of Action, Life And Manifestation; Make The Fountain Pure, And All Will Be Pure.

The Man Who Thinks Hateful Thoughts Brings Hatred Upon Himself. The Man Who Thinks Loving Thoughts Is Loved.

Man Is Made Or Unmade By Himself. By The Right Choice He Ascends. As A Being Of Power, Intelligence, And Love, And The Lord Of His Own Thoughts, He Holds The Key To Every Situation.

Nature Gives All, Without Reservation, And Loses Nothing; Man Or Woman, Grasping All, Loses Everything.

A Strong Man Cannot Help A Weaker Unless The Weaker Is Willing To Be Helped, And Even Then The Weak Man Must Become Strong Of Himself; He Must, By His Own Efforts, Develop The Strength Which He Admires In Another. None But Himself Can Alter His Condition.

The Man Who Sows Wrong Thoughts And Deeds And Prays That God Will Bless Him Is In The Position Of A Farmer Who, Having Sown Tares, Asks God To Bring Forth For Him A Harvest Of Wheat.

The Very Fact That You Are A Complainer, Shows That You Deserve Your Lot.

The Dreamers Are The Saviors Of The World.

Cherish Your Visions. Cherish Your Ideals. Cherish The Music That Stirs In Your Heart, The Beauty That Forms In Your Mind, The Loveliness That Drapes Your Purest Thoughts. For Out Of Them Will Grow All Delightful Conditions, All Heavenly Environment, Of These, If You But Remain True To Them, Your World Will At Last Be Built.

As The Smallest Drop Of Water Detached From The Ocean Contains All The Qualities Of The Ocean, So Man, Detached In Consciousness From The Infinite, Contains Within Him Its Likeness; And As The Drop Of Water Must, By The Law Of Its Nature, Ultimately Find Its Way Back To The Ocean And Lose Itself In Its Silent Depths, So Must Man, By The Unfailing Law Of His Nature, At Last Return To His Source, And Lose Himself In The Great Ocean Of The Infinite.

Your Circumstances May Be Uncongenial, But They Shall Not Long Remain So If You But Perceive An Ideal And Strive To Reach It.

Above All Be Of Single Aim; Have A Legitimate And Useful Purpose, And Devote Yourself Unreservedly To It.

Do Not Dwell Upon The Sins And Mistakes Of Yesterday So Exclusively As To Have No Energy And Mind Left For Living Rightly Today, And Do Not Think That The Sins Of Yesterday Can Prevent You From Living Purely Today.

No Duty Is More Urgent Than That Of Returning Thanks.
