Mind Power

Source of Help

If we are quiet within, we can receive inspirational thoughts that can and will help us to go on and see the way a little better.  

 

Help often comes from unexpected sources. We look for help with our problems to God, the Father of all Life. If we are quiet within, we can receive inspirational thoughts that can and will help us to go on and see the way a little better.   

All have problems to solve whether it is with the self within that needs to feel more courage, more aware of its own power or whether we need to cleanse ourselves of resentment, envy or some form of negation. Perhaps the problem lies with one of the family in health, or strife or lack of some kind.  

No matter what the problem, help can and will be given if we do our part in making the contact with the God-power and quiet ourselves within so that the channel may be clear to receive.

Our answer may not always please us. We may feel that we need a greater lift, a greater help, but no matter, we receive what we need even though we may not be aware that this is so. 

Peace, courage, love, strength, all the positive vibrations of life, can come through to us if we keep the channel free of the debris of fear and its kindred.

Try to do this, and a way will be shown to you to find the light of positive living.

Hidden Talents

We cannot all be great artists but all can and do have talents, many that they could hardly realize because they are not brought out or exploited enough. 

 

Everyone has some talent, some gift which they can develop and perfect once they discover what that talent may be. Too there are many whose talents are numerous, but we speak now of those whose talents remain submerged, undiscovered, and they are legion. Often it is due to inherent fears, insecurity and other negative traits that are in the person’s makeup that keep the talents undiscovered.  

The persons involved may greatly admire some whose talents have been developed and yet he or she cannot realize that their potential may be even greater had they developed the talent they already possess.  

How is this brought about, you ask? How discovered? By simply casting aside all fears and doubts and going ahead with the strong desire uppermost in your mind and then you would find great pleasure and exultation in the quest and its result.

We cannot all be great artists but all can and do have talents, many that they could hardly realize because they are not brought out or exploited enough.  

“Seek and ye will find.  Ask and it will be added unto you.” [These are] admonitions to be heeded by all.

Self Belief

Believe, have faith in the self within for you are adequate to all that comes into your life ...

 

The strength, the power, the health-giving thoughts of life are possible for all to have, for all to receive if we but tune in to these positive vibrations. We must first aspire, then we are inspired and life is revealed to us as it never before has been presented. We find our senses are intensified and we respond to outside influences as never before possible.  

Our minds, if so attuned, can act as spiritual antennas attracting to us all the good that we need and desire. Why then do we hold back from such conditions? Only because doubt and fear creep in and possess us when we should and could shut them out of our lives.  

We use what we habitually think, so always remember this truth and act and think according to your best interests and those of others who are in your environment. We shape our own destines daily by our very thoughts and habits of life.

Believe, have faith in the self within for you are adequate to all that comes into your life, and with constructive habits only the good can come.

Mountains to Climb

The mountain seems unbelievably difficult to ascend at times. 

 

We all have mountains to climb and in order to gain the peak and raise the flag of conquest we must meet with many setbacks, many disheartening events, many worries and fears to be overcome before this can become a reality.

The mountain seems unbelievably difficult to ascend at times. We are often tempted to give up and to go back and perhaps continue to live in the valley where there are no difficulties to overcome. But this easy way out is not for us, for the fires of desire to overcome are strong within us, and so we push on.  

Slowly, oh so slowly at times, surrounded by darkness, by fear of a wrong step that could plunge us off into unknown dangers (and often does just that to the unwary traveler) we plod on carefully. 

Finally from afar, perhaps when a cloud is lifted, we can see our goal. We realize it is worth all the effort, all the strength we can muster to push on and reach the peak of our mountain where we can plant the flag of success and look back to see where we gradually worked up the steep slopes, ignoring the crevasses and the slippery ways and, in spite of all, going on and never giving up.  

Then we can stand proudly erect and feel the great exalted love and peace that only comes to those who seek it and eventually, through great struggle, find the top of the mountain and plant the flag of successful achievement in a life of love and peace.

Maintain Calm

At some time in life, all face situations that are frightening and since there is a reason for all things, we must be still within and seek the remedy ...

 

Always, under all circumstances, endeavor to maintain a calm attitude of mind for in this way, and only in this way is it possible to let ideas and inspiration come into the mind.  

If we become excitable or hysterical during some event, it is not conducive to constructive thought; in fact, thoughts, except of terror and fear, are practically an impossibility. Of course, much depends on the nature of the personality. By nature some are more excitable than others, and in these persons it is harder to control the emotions in times of stress and danger. 

At some time in life, all face situations that are frightening and since there is a reason for all things, we must be still within and seek the remedy after we have done all that is possible to do at the time the event occurs. This is just a lesson of control of our fear really and a more mature outlook on happenings that come into the life of all people.

We must always be prepared, be ready for any eventuality, but by being ready I do not at all mean we should look for disaster or events that cause trouble of any sort. No, not at all, for our outlook should be cheery and happy. In this way we can and do change the vibratory forces and affect our lives for the better by a more constructive and helpful outlook.  

Seek only the good and see only the good and only the good will come to be manifest in your life.

All is Change

  

All is change in life whether we recognize it as a fact or not.

 

If progress is to come to us we must welcome change in our life and its varied facets, for it is vital to life itself. All is change in life whether we recognize it as a fact or not. If it were not so we would be at a standstill and that is never good. We must go on and accept each and every change in life.  

It is natural to want security in life, but in actual fact we are always secure if we but believe we are for security is but a state of mind.  

Nothing is permanent and though we may feel we are secure in our position in business or in the home, something always can come in to cause change. Oftentimes, though it is unrecognized, it is of great benefit to the people involved. We cannot see always the outcome of what change will bring about in the life, but we sometimes fight that which is for our benefit because of fear -- fear of the unknown, fear of lack in some form, fear of change, and so it goes.  

People do not realize that all life consists of change, and that changes will bring changes and [then] life is viewed from a larger standpoint because we have broadened the view and stepped out of a shell in which, inadvertently, we had been keeping ourselves. 

The horizon is brighter than we had imagined and we find that we like change and have a feeling that it is for our ultimate good, but we ourselves must determine this and constantly overcome errors of thought that have previously held us captive.

Destiny

 

... the destiny of each one of us is in our own hands ...

 

Destiny is a word fraught with meaning.  Does it, as many think, mean a preordained future, one that is entirely irrevocable? 

No, not in reality, for are we not spoken of as “masters of our fate?”  If this were not so, and we could not ourselves change this, fear would be rampant, and righteously so, for we would be but slaves of fate. No, destiny means much more than that.   

Often the important steps in our life are preordained by us before we are reincarnated here, for we have lessons to learn and rewards or punishments to help us on our way. 

We do not, of course, wish punishment, but justice always prevails and the law of cause and effect is never deterred. So if it becomes necessary to the evolvement of the entity, even punishment is preordained. Overcoming obstacles that are placed in one’s path could be the form of punishment, and in this way we learn and overcome and go on into a higher light (or consciousness).   

This law of progression is ever with us and we can only learn through lessons that are needed by the soul whether they be pleasant experiences or the reverse. However, the destiny of each one of us is in our own hands, and as always we are at the helm and can make or break our ship.

Clear Thoughts

We are now manifesting exactly what we are, what we have become as the sum total of our thought life. 

 

Are we functioning perfectly in every department of being as God has intended us to? If not, then we must try to put ourselves in the right state of mind, the correct thought not only about ourselves but about those near us.   

Often it is because perhaps we cling to thoughts of resentment, envy, jealousy, fear, insecurity or other thoughts of a negative nature that prevent us from manifesting more perfectly. 

We are now manifesting exactly what we are, what we have become as the sum total of our thought life. 

If lack is shown in the life, we have in some way neglected to have the thought of plenty and have shown fear and insecurity instead of courage and expectant good.

If love is lacking in the life, we have neglected to show love ourselves; we have been selfish, niggardly in regard to others, and so we are constantly manifesting that which we are and have become through our own efforts. 

No one can think for us, no one can help us if we refuse to help ourselves. Often we are our own worst enemies though we put the blame wholly on others, never once suspecting the true source of our troubles. 

Think, feel and act as though you were king and queen of all the material universe, which indeed you are. Think and it is so.

Hope

 

 We hope, we aspire, we love and all help to keep our life worthwhile.

 

“Hope springs eternal,” an often used quotation, and one that is imbued with truth for without hope people could not go on in this life.  

This stage of life is filled with stress and storms and many trials which are necessary to our growth, and if we lost hope that these things could not be changed, could not be eradicated we would indeed be forlorn.  

Hope, next to love, is all important. Fortunately it is like a fountain within that even though utilized to the fullest extent still springs up even in the midst of flood, fire, famine and all the trials that life can bring to us as needed. 

Even the lifelong prisoner is not without hope, or a person perhaps drowning still hopes, though possibly he may suddenly feel he can no longer be rescued. When hope is gone, all is lost. Then, even though rescue comes, it is too late.   

One must hold on to hope even in the face of seeming disaster, chaos or whatever comes. It is truly imperishable and gives to us our reason often times to continue in life. We hope, we aspire, we love and all help to keep our life worthwhile.

Replace Fear

 

Feeling is all. Words are nothing. If we fear a thing, it becomes fearful to us. Saying it is not so does not at all change the picture.

 

Merely to say “I can” and to have no real feeling behind it is an empty gesture that means nothing. 

In order to accomplish what our desires tell us we should, we must have the feeling, a strong feeling that it is possible and that, given time, it will be done unto us.  

Feeling is all. Words are nothing. If we fear a thing, it becomes fearful to us. Saying it is not so does not at all change the picture. However, if we acquire a new feeling, [a] new thought about it and overcome our former fear, that is quite another thing. 

Change in that direction must occur or we still have the feeling of fear, of unrest, insecurity or whatever may be troublesome to us. We must root it out of our consciousness entirely if we are to succeed.  

This is really hard when we have held onto an idea tenaciously so that it has become reality to us. Whether or not it is a true idea or has truth in it, it remains true for us until we are able, by change of thought and consequent action, to remove it from our ken.  

Replace all the old fear thoughts, the insecure, not self-reliant ideas that somehow do come into our minds. It is a constant battle of overcoming, but we will win if we persist.
