Changing Reality With Your Mind

waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'Here it is' or 'There it is'. Rather, the K

tonished, and he will rule over all things." - Jesus (from the gnostic Gospel of Thomas)

The first phase of Man's Evolution has been to

do with creating free thinking beings capable
of controlling their surroundings by purely
physical means.
The next great step in Man's Evolution is
concerned with enabling these free thinking
beings to control their surroundings and
experiences by mental methods as well as
physical.
This website is devoted to teaching the True
Art of Living, and is for the interested but non-
scientific.

Science global outreach and are interested in

The Conditions

The Substance
WHAT do we mean by the Spirit of a thing?
One frequently hears the expression "He
enters into the spirit of a thing" and it will be
of value to us to examine the phrase carefully
and try to arrive at its exact meaning. The
simplest way to achieve our object is to take a
hypothetical case.
Let us suppose that some man realises that
there is an immense need for supplying the
unemployed with free meals, and proceeds to
organise a movement to achieve this object.
Unable to do the whole job single handed, he
enlists the aid of other people and asks them
"to enter into the spirit" of the thing. In actual
fact, he asks them to share his attitude of
mind towards the object he has in view. In
other words he endeavours to reproduce in
them that quality of life which inspired him to
bring his movement and organization into
existence.
That is precisely the object in introducing to
you very briefly the whole fascinating subject
of Mental Science. It is intended that you
should share the creative attitude of mind,
which originated the Universe and its
inhabitants.
There are certain Universal Laws in constant
and evident operation all around us, and, by
attaining some grasp of their principles, we
may use the power inherent in them to help
ourselves through our daily troubles and
perplexities. We can, metaphorically speaking,
bring our water wheel into appropriate contact
with the main stream and cause it to turn our
particular mill.
If then, we examine the course of the world
around us, we find that continuous Progress or
Movement is being manifested, and we must
try to trace to its source that Power which
causes the evolution that is so obviously
inherent in everything.
Scientists have made it very clear to us that it
is no use to look for that Power in the physical
world, for they have reduced all material
things to nothing more or less than "changed
space."
And here, I expect, you pull up with a jerk and
say "I don't quite understand that last
sentence," Right, let us re-state it.
Scientists have proved to us that there must
have been, at the beginning of all creation, a
Universal Substance which, by the action of
some Outside Force (the identity of which we
will examine later), set in motion a process of
change. This process consisted of the gradual
building up of the universe and its inhabitants
by successive stages of evolution. In other
words, the universe and its beings are nothing
more than Universal Substance which has
undergone transformation. There, therefore,
remains that essential basic factor to be
remembered that, quite literally, "Ye are all
One."
So much for the Physical and Material
Substance.

The Spirit
IN the last section we were brought face to
face with the realisation that there was a
Motive Power which acted on the Universal
Substance to produce the chain of change
which is known to us as Evolution.
Let us examine this Power or Life Principle in
action on our own bodies and in the natural
world around us.
So long as a flower is animated by the Life
Force, or, as we say, as long as it is alive,
there is growth and increase. As soon as the
Life Force commences a self-withdrawal, then
disintegration sets in and the flower decays
and dies. Our own bodies are reducible to a
chemical formula and, without the Life Force,
they also proceed with change and decay. In
fact, we find that all "things" are in a process
of disintegration unless the Life Force is
present. The Life Force therefore can be
summed up as a Power which
organises matter and arrests the natural
process of matter which is Disorganization and
Disintegration.
But Life is an Organizing Force sufficiently
selective and discriminating in its action to
originate and maintain a recognizable Cosmic
Plan. In other words it is a Spirit-Intelligence of
limitless capacity.
The object of our study must therefore be to
realise that we ourselves and all things around
us are merely the expressions or
manifestations on the material plane of the All
Originating Spirit. Or to put it more simply, we
are all formed from the same original
Universal Substance by the action of the Same
Intelligence upon that Substance.
We can at once decide that the characteristic
of Spirit-Intelligence is Thought, so let us see,
by means of a simple illustration, where we
are now heading.
I am typing these words at a desk on which
there is a bowl of flowers. In examining these
flowers I find that my knowledge of them is
limited, entirely, to my own physical capacity
for perception. I know their form only through
my eyesight. I know their colour by the same
means. I know their scent by my sense of
smell, and therefore I am entirely dependent
on my physical fitness and completeness for
my appreciation of their Beauty. But if I am to
find the everlasting all-Beautiful, all-Perfect,
and all-Good, it is to the infinite capacity of my
Mind and Thought that I am compelled to turn.
Exactly the same principle is found in the work
of any creative artist. If we examine the case
of a painter of a picture, we find that his
finished work may fall far short of its original
mental image which he first conceived in his
imagination. But if that picture stirs up in the
beholder a realisation of that primal mental
picture, then it has reproduced in him the
spirit that was the essence of causation of the
picture.
Take the instance of our own bodies. If there is
the perfect Body on the psychic plane whilst
the physical Body is diseased, the reason for
that disease lies in the mind which is the only
conceivable channel between the psychic and
the physical planes. On this fact the whole
principle of mental healing is built up and the
complete success in dealing with widely
diversified diseases of many spiritual and
mental healers is a fully adequate proof of the
correctness of the principle.
Here is a rough summary of the facts at which
we have arrived at so far, and which, if you
wish, you may accept without worrying
yourself unduly in an effort to completely
understand all that I have found it necessary
to say to arrive at them.
The Universe and its inhabitants can be
treated as a single entity made from the same
special ether by a Process of Change as the
result of a definite Cosmic Law of Evolution.
The physical world as we know it is not the
Ultimate Reality, but is a materialisation of
what first exists on the psychic plane, i.e. in
the immaterial realm of thought.
Nothing can exist on the physical plane that is
not first conceived on the psychic plane.
Evolution and change is controlled by Spirit
which is all-Pervading.

Spirit acts through individualised man and

through all life forms by the Principle or Law of
Attraction which will explained in detail further
on.

The Machine

The Mind
EVERYONE has heard of the conscious mind
and the subconscious mind, and there is a
tendency to regard them as two completely
separate units. This is an entirely misleading
view. They are no more separate than two
different parts of the same room. In fact, that
is an analogy which we can pursue rather
further, and liken the mind to a huge room
with a light in only one end of it, so that only a
small portion is illuminated with any degree of
brightness, and beyond its immediate rays
there is a space of shadows and twilight, and
further still we find absolute darkness.
We may imagine a steady progression of
people into the brightly-lighted area. Some
come from the dark shadows of the room,
whilst others come in from outside, but they
all go the same way in the end—into the
shadows and into the darkness.
Here is the key to the analogy. The brightly-
lighted area is the conscious mind and
contains those thoughts (people) which we are
at this moment thinking. They may be new
thoughts and impressions which have come in
from outside or they may be old thoughts
which have been stored up in the darkness but
which we have recalled to the light.
Where the light is not good, but vision is still
possible, we find those thoughts which are
within immediate recall, i.e., memory; or
thoughts in some way related to those in full
light.
What is in the darkness or subconscious mind
we will deal with in a moment.
Let me, with another illustration, try to make
the matter clearer to you.
Supposing you were in a hall listening to a
lecture. The speaker and his matter would be
in your conscious mind. Just beyond its range
you would find other matters of which you
might be partially conscious. For instance, that
the seats were hard or that the hall was too
cold. And a little further still from the centre of
complete consciousness, we would find those
thoughts which might, at an instant, be called
to the centre by some remark of the speaker's
which, momentarily, made you think of
something else. For instance, the mention of
food might conceivably bring to the centre of
consciousness the thought that you were
going to be late for your dinner.
Finally, we find the complete darkness or
subconscious mind with which this section is
primarily designed to deal.
A man lives in accordance with his beliefs, and
his beliefs are the result of the credit or debit
balance of the contents of his subconscious
mind.
As it is so much simpler to drive home a point
by means of an illustration, let us continue the
analogy of the dark part of the room and its
inhabitants.
If we penetrate the darkness we find that the
room is large enough to accommodate every
person (thought) that comes in. There is
ample space for all and not a single one gets
suffocated. But on closer examination we find
that they are not pushed in anyhow, but are
carefully grouped according to the interest
they may have in common, and are labelled
with the name of that interest, and even if
their views on their common interest are
totally opposed to each other, they
nevertheless join the group.
Now let us take a hypothetical case and see
the subconscious mind at work.
Suppose you, reader, have never in your life
seen a dog. Then in your subconscious mind
there will be a label with the word "Dog" on it
but with, so far, no group of thoughts to which
to attach it. Then one day you hear a noise
and someone says that it is a dog barking.
Immediately the thought that a dog is
something that barks goes down and takes its
place under the label "Dog." And so on as your
information about dogs grows, so the group of
thoughts under that label gradually increases.
Then perhaps someone says that a dog has
five legs. Down goes that thought and takes
its place in the group even though you may
have seen a dog and so know that the though
is a false one.
No thought or impression entering the mind is
ever lost. Every thought or impression you
have ever received, even from pre-natal
existence, right through your life, is stored
under its appropriate label in your
subconscious mind until your death—and
after.
In the first section above, we decided that the
Psychic Life-Giving Urge is an organising force
when brought into association with matter,
and, as scientists have shown us, we find
therein the greatest proof of survival after
death, because it is surely common sense to
state that that Force which organises and
controls the indestructible, is itself Eternal.
When Death takes place, therefore, the mind
shakes itself free of all that is physical and
limited, and the Real You, which is the sum
total, on balance, of your subconscious mind,
emerges, untrammelled any longer by a
consciousness of physical conditions and
surroundings, to complete freedom of action
for further experience on other less material
planes.
To return to our illustration of the "Dog-Group"
of thoughts as given above. If you are asked
whether a dog has four legs or five, your
answer is the result of a balance of the
thoughts contained in that group. So are your
actions all through your life. So the health of
your subconscious mind is of primary
importance to you and is certainly worthy of
still further consideration.
A great truth lies in the analogy of the mind as
a room of Darkness and Light, for the
subconscious mind works completely "in the
dark," whilst the conscious mind works
completely "in the light."
The conscious mind, because it works in the
light, is able to check up or reason about any
information given to it, and need not react to
that information, but the subconscious mind
accepts as literal and complete truth every
statement made to it and immediately sets to
work to act upon it.
For instance, if a man is seated in a chair and
hypnotised—by which we mean that his
conscious mind is temporarily put to sleep—
and then he is told that he is swimming in a
rough sea, the subconscious mind will proceed
to make the man go through all the motions of
swimming or even of exhaustion. But an un-
hypnotised man, in full possession of his
conscious faculties, will immediately reject the
suggestion that he is in the sea—he knows
that he is safely in a chair and that is all there
is to it as far as he is concerned.
The habitual liar does actually begin to believe
his or her own lies, because he or she has told
them so often and lived them so consistently
that on balance in their subconscious
mind they are the Realities.
To cure him or her and straighten them out,
therefore, there must be given them an
adequate number of truth-thoughts to ensure
the balance working out on the right side.
What else does the subconscious mind do
beside contain our beliefs?
It also directly controls all those actions of the
body which we regard as automatic whether
they be glandular, muscular or nervous. All
our functional activities are guided by the
subconscious mind.

Creative Power
This section is of great importance and I ask
you to realise it to the full, as it is on these
foundations that the whole structure of the
Practice of Mental Science is built.
We have seen that the only conceivable
Primary Source of the Creation lies in Thought
and that everything created is therefore a
manifestation of the Originating Thought. Now
we go a step further, in linking ourselves to
the Powers that Be, when we realise that our
own mind is therefore the manifestation of the
originating Thought. In other words, our mind
is a distributing centre for the entire Power-in-
Action of the originating Thought.
But we have the God-given Liberty of Volition,
and we can therefore sum up our discovery by
saying that, through our mind, we have at our
disposal all the Power and Resource of the
originating Spirit, which created all things
seen and unseen.
Herein, students of the Bible will find the real
meaning of the statement that we are created
in the image and likeness of God.
Immediately following the appreciation of the
foregoing sentences it becomes reasonable to
ask "why then, with all this Power at our
disposal, do we remain hindered and
repressed by antagonistic environment? Or
why, indeed, does antagonistic environment
exist?"
To answer these questions effectively we must
consider carefully what is known as
"suggestion."

In dealing with the subconscious mind we saw

that the habitual liar comes to believe in their
own lies. We decided that this was so because
he or she had told the lie so often that it
became a reality to them. This is what is
meant by suggestion. A "suggestion" is a
statement so repeated and enforced that it
becomes for the subconscious mind a truth.
Now we can see the vicious circle in which we
are. We look at the adverse conditions around
us and give our subconscious mind a strong
suggestion of limitation. People around us are
suffering from poverty and disease and our
subconscious mind assimilates the suggestion
that such conditions constitute reality, and
proceeds to evolve those conditions for us,
unless we are strong enough to counter the
negative suggestion with a sufficiently strong
affirmative suggestion.
By adequate affirmative suggestion, we can
alter our surroundings and a realisation of this
fact is summed up in the phrase ''Nothing
succeeds like success.'' This simply means
that the first small success acted as an
affirmative suggestion which led to the next
and perhaps slightly larger success. And so
on, ad infinitum.
Having read all that has gone before we
should be in possession of all those facts
which will provide the means to an effective
practice of Mental Science on our own lives.

An Interpolation
MANY books on Psychology are written in
terms that savour of religion. The phraseology
is ecclesiastical in tone and the words "God"
"Christ," "Heaven," appear regularly and as an
integral part of the teaching expounded.
Those are the books that are right.
So far, on this website, I have purposely
avoided all direct reference to the Deity, but it
could not be completed satisfactorily on those
lines. The greatest handbook on Mental
Science is the Bible and the Grand Master of
Mental Science is Jesus Christ.
Any books that are written on Psychology or
Mental Science are, of necessity, plagiarisms.
The whole Principle and Practice is given in
detail right throughout the Bible and it
remains the only sufficient guide to the Art of
Living. When this fact is internationally
recognized, evolution will speed to Perfection
and the New Heaven and the New Earth will
come.
Man is a Unity with three modes of life—
Spiritual, Psychic and Corporeal. The quality
and efficacy of all our actions is the result of
the interaction of Body, Soul and Spirit, and
we must get very clearly set in front of us that
all three modes of being are necessary. Over-
emphasis on any one or two of these is sin.
This is very easily seen if we adequately
consider the matter.
To live only in the Physical aspect of our being
is to become materialistic. We become limited
to what can be realised by our physical senses
alone. We should then be concentrating
exclusively on that which is but a
correspondence of the Perfect instead of on
the Perfect itself.
An illustration such as we have used before
will clarify the matter. Let us think of an artist
who, in his imagination, conceives a perfect
picture, but whose completed work falls far
short of what he intended. He decides to make
alterations. To do so successfully he must not
simply regard the picture and say "what can I
do to it?" He must recreate in his imagination
the original intention and then compare. No
constructive evolution, can be accomplished
through materialism alone.
Secondly, let us suppose that, after studying
Mental Science, you come to a genuine
understanding of the Cosmic Universal Laws
by obedience to which you can accomplish all
things, and you ignore the Spiritual and
Christian intention behind them. What is your
position?
You are a magician and no more. You are a
man of infinite power but finite wisdom.
Thirdly, concentration on the Spiritual aspect
does, at first, look harmless enough, but its
end is idolatry. Worship without Service is but
vain idolatry.
In the practice of Mental Science as given
below, keep before you the three modes of
being and see to it that all three combine in all
your thoughts and actions.
Within you is infinite Power and infinite
Resource. Space or time or limitation need not
exist for you. Use these gifts. You are intended
to do so and are playing your part in the vast
scheme of evolution by doing so, but use them
for the highest good of humanity and for your
own most perfect development.

How to Drive The Machine

Mental Attitude
FROM now onwards I am writing for two
distinct classes of reader. For those who have
carefully read and pondered upon all that has
gone before, and, secondly, for those who
have skipped through the above and
commenced reading here, and who do not
intend to concern themselves with what has
preceded it.
Therefore, there will, inevitably, be a certain
amount of repetition of what has already been
argued out and adopted. But this may not be a
bad thing, as the reiteration will help to
impress the facts clearly on the mind.
From now onwards, I am endeavouring to
make all statements in a positive and definite
fashion, so that there may be no ambiguity
whatsoever.
It has been decided, in previous sections, that
each and every human being on this earth has
at their immediate disposal Unlimited Power
capable of achieving any and every desire,
provided certain clearly stated rules are
implicitly obeyed.
Please realise what Infinite Power means.
Infinite Power created the stars and maintains
them in their courses. Does that give you
some conception of Infinite Power? Think it
well over, and try to realise it.
Having realised it, you will realise also that it
must, of necessity, be more than adequate to
deal with your petty troubles and obstacles. If
you are honest with yourself, you must
recognise that a power that can control
millions of planets will not be baffled, let alone
beaten, by such conditions as surround you.
So the first thing to do is to get a clear
conception of the absolute fact that there is an
Infinity of Power available.
Now try, for the sake of practicability, to
endow that Infinite Power with a Personality.
What is the result? You will at once agree that,
if you are going to make use of the Power of
this Great Person, you must ask It to do those
things which It is disposed to do. In other
words, what you ask It to do must coincide
with Its own plans.
It would obviously be useless to ask It to do
something directly contrary or harmful to Its
own work. So the lesson to be learned is
summed up in "Thy will, not mine."
Or if you prefer it another way "My Will in so
far as it coincides with Thy will."
Now that statement, you may say, has limited
the Power. Not a bit of it. As far as you are
concerned, the Power desires nothing but your
Complete and Unending Happiness. Well,
surely your desires do not exceed that
Statement. You are not such a fool as to desire
unhappiness for yourself. So anything that is
for your own development and contentment is
available.
To proceed to the next point: Get out of your
mind once and for all that you are embarking
on a lazy life, in which you sit back and
everything is brought to you with no effort on
your part. Far from it, you have got to work
hard and incessantly. Even, when you rest
your physical body, devote yourself to that
one object. In other words, work at the job of
recreation.
Someone may ask "Why must I work? If this
Power is Infinite, surely it can do its job
without me?" You are quite right. It can do its
job without you. But it has certain definite
channels for its operations and you are one of
them. You cannot expect the Power to
do for you what can only be done through you.
In previous sections we have shown that your
mind is a part of the great Universal Mind or
Power, and as far as you and your world are
concerned, you and your personality are the
headquarters and distributing centre of the
Power.
Do you understand that? If you are not
prepared to co-operate, the Power will turn to
those who will. But the Power is so infinite that
there is amply enough for us all to make full
use of it by co-operation—that, in fact, is what
the Power itself desires. It wants to recognize
itself at work in and through everyone.
So you must be the agent for the Power in
your particular sphere.

An Efficient Agent
How can you be an efficient agent? That is the
next question.
It is simply answered in three words. Correct
Mental Attitude. And it is to this subject that
we must most seriously address ourselves
from now until the end of this final and main
section of the web page.
Your thoughts must all be Constructive.
Now think that out carefully and try to realise
its full meaning. On reflection you will find that
to have consistently constructive thoughts
means cutting out completely all evil
thoughts. Envy, hatred and fear are
immediately ruled out, and these are but three
destructive thoughts on which to commence
war.
Guard against Envy.
Whatever anyone else has, you can have, if it
really is for your ultimate happiness. The world
is full to overflowing with good things. There is
plenty for everyone, if you go the right way
about it. So, you see, Envy is mere foolishness
and small-mindedness. Broaden your mind,
and raise your ideals, and other peoples'
possessions will cease to trouble you. If you
live a full and healthy mental life, your wants
will be supplied and you will be happy and
contented.
Guard against Hatred.
It is a valueless thing. If you hate a person, are
you made happier by that hate? Of course not.
Then why on earth waste valuable time and
energy on such fruitless effort?
Guard against Fear.
What are you afraid of?
What is your fear? To be afraid is to be
mentally and emotionally disturbed in
advance of an incident. What is the result of
this state of mind? From a study of Mental
Science above we have learned that to fear a
thing is definitely to assist its coming to pass,
which you must admit is an action of amazing
stupidity. Another result of this state of mind is
that you have decidedly reduced your powers
of resistance.
If I am to have a tough fight tomorrow
morning, shall I sit up all night in fear and
trembling and greet my adversary with hollow
eyes and a wobbly fist? Or shall I sleep
soundly and well, and arise in the pink of
condition and ready to take on anything ? The
reply is obvious.
So, apply to your thoughts this test. Is my
thought on this subject constructive or
destructive? If it is constructive, take heart
and go forward with renewed vigour, knowing
positively that Almighty Power is with you. If it
is destructive, take yourself in hand severely
and change your thoughts. It will be difficult at
first and you will be clumsy at it, but
eventually constructive thought will become,
in an everyday phrase, second nature to you.
Now, when a problem is presented to you,
bring your imagination into play at once. In
your imagination see the job completed and
the problem solved. That is the first thing to
do. Why? Because by doing so you present to
your subconscious mind a complete and
detailed picture of what is wanted, and
Universal Mind, the all-Powerful, will know
exactly what is required and what must be
done to bring that mental picture to
materialisation.
Having arrived at your complete, imagined
picture, concentrate on it. Do not lose sight of
it. Keep on recalling it before your mind's eye.
What is your will for, but to help you do that?
Keep saying mentally: "This perfect thing is
the job finished, and I am on my way to it."
Allow no doubt or hesitation to creep into your
mental attitude. Why should it, when you have
Infinite Power at your disposal? Do not be
afraid of adopting a direct tone towards your
subconscious mind. Avoid mere spineless
"wishing," and vague day-dreaming. The
Power is there to serve you and loves to do it
because, in serving you, It is hastening on to
Its own objective.

And what is Its objective? Nothing less than

complete and unending happiness for yourself
and the entire human family. And what is Its
motivation? Love. For this all-pervading Spirit
of Life is Love Itself.
Have you ever sat down to a job and found
your mind wandering? Of course you have, but
you need be like that no longer if you deal
with the tendency promptly and efficiently. Do
not sit back wearily and say "I have no powers
of concentration." Of course you have powers
of concentration if you control them. When
you see your job before you, prompt your
subconscious mind with the mental statement
"This one job I do," knowing at the same time
that Infinite Power is at your disposal and your
mental picture is already complete and the job
will be done. Outside events and
circumstances will come to your aid in a way
that will at first amaze and then delight you.
For some reason, as I am writing these lines I
can almost hear someone say "I have much to
worry me, and I do worry." I sympathise. Let us
see what can be done.
It is little use me saying "Don't worry" because
that is not a constructive, positive statement.
But I Can say "Have faith. There is an infinite
Power at your disposal which can and will deal
with your trouble for you whether it be
through you or through someone else," Have
faith.
If you ring up on the telephone for a taxi to
come to your door in an hour's time to take
you to the station, you would not spend that
hour in an agony of worry and suspense,
wondering if the taxi will come. If you were
doubtful about it, you would start to walk. But
it is inconceivably stupid to rely on your own
legs and powers of endurance when the taxi is
coming. Ring up and the taxi will come. That
has been very definitely put once and for all.
"Ask and you shall receive." Can any promise
be clearer or less ambiguous?
By "ask" it means define your needs. Spend
some little time doing that. Select a time in
the morning and just before you go to sleep at
night for this definite purpose. During that
period call up, in perfect imagery, before your
mind's eye, the ideal that is yours. See it
actually accomplished. See it perfect. See it
complete in every detail. Having secured the
vision and dwelt on it, say over to yourself "By
the Power which is in me, this thing is actually
brought to pass." Realise the full meaning of
the sentence and all that it implies. Appreciate
that, as soon as a thing is complete on the
mental plane, Infinite Power is instantly at
work bringing it about on the physical plane.

Service and Generalisation

THERE are two other aspects of Mental
Attitude either of which requires a small book
devoted entirely to it, but we will endeavour to
give them in rough here.
The first is summed up in the word "Service."
We have already regarded each one of us as
an agent for the Infinite Power of Supply, and,
if we continue that view of the position, we will
realise that the successful agent is the one
who concentrates all their energies on
"passing on" the goods for which they are
agent. He or she does not waste their time
endeavouring to store up the goods but tries
to keep them moving as fast and as freely as
they can.
If you are a garage proprietor, and have been
appointed district agent for a leading make of
motor car, you would naturally do everything
in your power to ensure a big outlet for the
models as they come through to you from the
supplier. If you simply stored them in your
garage, and made no effort of any kind to pass
them on to others, all your available space
would be very soon filled, and your supplier
would seek another and more progressive
agent.
The same thing exactly applies in your mental
attitude towards your own supplies as they
come from the Infinite Supplier.
Presumably you are going to use Mental
Science to ensure for you an adequate supply
of happiness, service, peace and love.
Therefore you must act as agent for these
things and pass them on freely to any and
everyone with whom you come into contact,
otherwise the stream will be dammed and the
flow of Infinite supply will ceaseas far as you
are concerned and will find other and freer
channels through which to progress. Get it into
your head that to have fresh supplies you
must make room by passing on what you
already have.
The other aspect is summed up in the word
"Generalisation." In your asking for supply,
concentrate on the end, not on the means to
the end. Let me illustrate that statement as
clearly as I can. Suppose you want money with
which to purchase a home of your own for
your wife and children. Do not concentrate
your mental powers on the money but upon
the happiness, peace, and contentment which
such a home will bring.
The reason for this becomes obvious if you
reflect for a moment. Peace, Happiness and
Contentment are your aims, but there may be
quite one hundred ways by which they may
come to you. All of them are known to the All-
Seeing Wisdom of the Infinite Power, and for
you to particularise one special way is
automatically to close the other 99—any one
of which may be, and probably is, much better
and more suitable than your way.
Your way has only been chosen according to
your very limited powers of perception.
Concentrate on the end you desire to achieve,
and have complete faith that a means to that
end will be chosen which will be the best
possible for you.
How can I make this next proviso sufficiently
clear to you?
Realise throughout your whole being that your
physical and material self is helpless without
the Power. You, as you are; the you that is
finite and earthly is completely inadequate
and incapable without the aid of the Power.
The Power is yours, but you are not the Power.
Realise the humility inherent in that sentence.
Without the Power you are nothing. With the
Power you are all-powerful.
Do not lose your sense of perspective. Keep
your place in the scheme of things. You are the
agent for the Force, not the Force itself.
I cannot urge you too strongly to read over
that last paragraph again and again. Therein is
the fatal pitfall clearly placed before you. Be
warned, and avoid it.
When you secure this sense of humility, you
can maintain it by continually giving thanks
mentally for the gifts that come to you.

Regard your thoughts as boomerangs. If you
think an evil thought of any person or
anything, you will be the loser. It is your
mental attitude that is disturbed and there is
no one but yourself to blame. All thoughts are
boomerangs. They come back to the thinker.
Whatever you think, will happen to you.
Therefore think well. Think good. Think Order,
Harmony and Peace. Then shall these things
be added unto you.
One final matter must be dealt with. This
study would not be complete without it. I want
to deal with Failure.
So far I have not admitted the possibility of
failure and I do not do so now. If you fail, you
have not obeyed the rules which I have
endeavoured to put before you. And so, here
is your mental attitude towards failure. If
something that you wanted has not come to
pass, the fault is yours.
The Power is there. The Power wants you to
have your desire. If you have not received it,
do not blame the Power, blame yourself.
If there is failure, and you examine the Mental
Attitude you held prior to the event, you will
inevitably find one of these things.
1. Your desire was not constructive.
2. You doubted the Power's ability to give you
your desire.
3. You have particularised or, in other words,
you have wanted things exactly your way
instead of the way of Infinite Wisdom.

Epilogue
The world around us is visibly in a bad way.
There is poverty, neglect and unhappiness.
There are wars and rumours of war. This
condition of things has been brought about by
collective wrong thinking throughout the
centuries, and nothing can change it but
collective right thinking.
Service and Love must reign, if Evolution is to
proceed swiftly and surely. Pacts and Treaties
alone will not do it. Tariffs or Free Trade alone
will not do it. Hope lies only in the practical
expression of the Brotherhood of Man and the
Fatherhood of God. The Bible is the only
practical text book of economics, and Christ
the only perfect example by Whose Teaching
the nations may come to live in Peace and
Security.
Those of mankind whose mentalities are in a
sufficient state of enlightenment can learn
consciously the principles of Mental Science.
All must live out the Grand Creed of
Christianity.

The crying need of the world today is for

leaders of faith and vision, leaders who realise
that Christ is the Perfect Statesman.

War and Depression came to teach us the

lessons which we must all learn. Have the
nations of Europe and America learned the
lessons? At one time it appeared that they
had, but now it is difficult to tell. If the lessons
have not been learned, greater troubles still
are to come.—Some prophets say they are
coming now—within the lifetime of most of us.
A terrible thought, which in itself should speed
the learning of the lessons.

Do not try to thrust Christian principles down

other peoples throats, they are not digested
that way. Practise them yourself, and so
supply leadership.

Do not fear. The Lessons will be learned. There

have been four kingdoms already. The Mineral
Kingdom, the Vegetable Kingdom, the Animal
Kingdom and the Kingdom of Man. Only one
more Kingdom remains un-demonstrated THE
KINGDOM OF THE SPIRIT in which all things
shall be made perfect.
(Ephesians 2:19-22) So then you are no
longer strangers and aliens, but you are
citizens with the saints and also members of
the household of God, built upon the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, with
Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him
the whole structure is joined together and
grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom
you also are built together spiritually into a
dwelling place for God.
(The 21st [Century] Revelation 1-7) Then I saw
a new heaven and a new earth, for the first
heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and there was no longer any divide. I saw the
Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down
out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride
beautifully dressed for her husband. And I
heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he
will live with them. They will be his people,
and God himself will be with them and be their
God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning or
crying or pain, for the old order of things has
passed away." He who was seated on the
throne said, "I am making everything
new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for
these words are trustworthy and true." He said
to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him
who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost
from the spring of the water of life. He who
overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his
God and he will be my son."
(The 2nd Genesis 1-3) Thus the heavens
and the earth were completed in all their vast
array. By the seventh day God had finished the
work he had been doing; so on the seventh
day he ceased from all his work. And God
blessed the seventh day and made it holy,
because on it he rested from all the work of
creating that he had done.
