Mind Power

Wisdom is Within

 

 It [Wisdom] is the God-power within that through our efforts becomes unfolded and expressed in the life.

 

Knowledge is something man acquires from his experiences here on the earth plane, while wisdom is inherent. It is the God-power within that through our efforts becomes unfolded and expressed in the life. It is of the ages past and is within, never can it be acquired from without for that is the province of knowledge.

When we become quiet within, the voice of wisdom speaks to us and tells us what to do, solves our problems easily, if we but let it, and gives us a peace of mind that mere knowledge never could.  

The wisdom of Solomon is the inner light of truth that has become unveiled and plain to him. It will become so to us if we learn to listen and to heed the voice within.

There is no earthly substitute for wisdom and it cannot be purchased. It is already ours if we can only realize what it can do for us. 

It is intuition, knowledge, experience, thought, inspiration, all in one great attribute known to us as wisdom, acquired in past ages by us, and with the God-power we are able to utilize it if we will. 

Easter

 Nature, or God, is at this season manifesting in every way the renewal of life in the material and thereby showing to thoughtful souls that this law also is carried out in the spiritual life.

 

This is the season when all life is being renewed.

New beginnings, the pulsating life throbs of Mother Nature, are felt all over the land and the very air is charged with a new vibration; the vibration of eternal life.

We feel the urge to get out in the open, to do things and to truly life in every sense of the word; to recharge our thought life and change outwardly to conform to this conception of renewal.

Like batteries that have needed recharging, our lives respond to the vital feel of growth, of change of a spiritual and material rebirth.

Do not try to carry along old thoughts that you should have discarded years ago; thoughts of defeat, of disillusionment, of despair, all negative vibrations.

Renew with the joyous Easter, the eternal spring and stand with positive, peaceful faith in all good, in the God-power within.

Easter is so misinterpreted in the Christian world. People do not go deeply enough into the spiritual significance of the Easter season.

Nature, or God, is at this season manifesting in every way the renewal of life in the material and thereby showing to thoughtful souls that this law also is carried out in the spiritual life.

Jesus’ life on earth exemplified all this and he went forth fearless, full of faith in the all good and by his perfect life made an example for all mankind to live by -- our elder brother in the spiritual life.

Easter is expressed throughout all the kingdoms, the animal, the vegetable, yes, even the material; for all is life, and all is God, in whom we live, move and have our being.

How can we fail when we realize with the fullness of spiritual thought the true meaning of Easter? That life always is.

There is only change and progress, another name for the evolution of the life forces through the material to the spiritual, a never ending upward spiral, a road to God and perfect life.

Master Plan

 

 

 There are no accidental successes or failures in life. It is all as we ourselves decree and must be worked out by the self within.

 

There is a master plan for each and every one of us and we are even now unfolding and working for this plan and towards a wonderful goal.  

We are, of course, masters of our own destiny and receive from the laws of being our rewards and our punishments through this law of cause and effect. Many do not see that this is so and feel that justice is not done, but in every case it is, although it may not be detected by us on the earth plane of existence.

We are constantly receiving and constantly causing others to receive through our efforts. In many cases, of course, the reverse is true. Many are losing out in the battle of life simply because of past injustice that they have meted out to others.  

You see it is all taken care of and we cannot really judge another because we do not see the whole picture. Therefore we cannot know all the causes of his or her seeming failures or difficulties in the life. 

Many suffer because of the injustice of others, but eventually their good will come to them if they are deserving of it. Many, you know, will only learn through their troubles. In good times they feel it is only their just due and fail to give gratitude for their worldly goods and their gifts of talent or whatever they have developed. They themselves are responsible for both their troubles and their good although it is often very hard to see that this is so. 

There are no accidental successes or failures in life. It is all as we ourselves decree and must be worked out by the self within.

There are also times when seemingly all we do is right and brings to us all we could desire in life. This is because we have earned this or it would not be. 

Everything works well for those who work in the light and keep themselves in the light of God and prepare to work out their lives with this as their goal in life.

Mind Power

The mind power of most people remains untapped, like a mine containing diamonds in a vein yet unreached. 

 

The mind power of most people remains untapped, like a mine containing diamonds in a vein yet unreached. We do not reach these treasures easily for they must be earned, must be worked for because in no other way can they be attained.  

Once we have even a glimpse of the wealth of power they can bring to us, we will not rest until they are obtained, and yet we cannot struggle too hard for them. We must become truly quiet within in order to get to the depth of the mine of the mind. 

Then when we suddenly, or following a long period of quiet times, finally arrive where we can tap this rich vein of the spirit, we know we have arrived. There is then no doubt, no fears, for all becomes clear, lucid and we can read the thoughts of others and see and diagnose their ills. 

Indeed there are no secrets, no thing that will not yield itself to this hidden God-power so much desired, so much sought for by those who are truly wise. “Seek and ye shall find. Ask and it will be opened unto you.” Admonitions, yes, and we seldom take them to heart and truly believe them as we should.

Deep quiet pools of thought yield rich treasure.

Kindness

 

 [Kindness] comes because of a greater understanding, a larger sympathy with life ...

 

Kindness comes with evolvement, with growth. It comes because of a greater understanding, a larger sympathy with life and all the peoples involved in the stress and strain of living.  

Whenever we find people who show kindness, gentleness to one another, we know we are with one who has arrived at this state of evolvement, that he or she has more light, or wisdom, as it also can be called. He sees himself in the problems involving others and realizes his kinship with those with whom he feels this sympathetic vibration, which is a form of love. 

Love is life, love is God, and all who in some way show these attributes have arrived.

Realizing our Power

 

We may at times feel limited in our scope of power, but in truth it is so only in our thought.

 

Life is grand and noble in all its circumstances, for life is God and all-power.  We may at times feel limited in our scope of power, but, in truth, it is so only in our thought.

 Very few indeed are the souls who truly know and realize what life is and what life means. It seems to mean different things to people, but that is true only because of their limited vision.

What our true desires are, you will find, is a good indicator of what the person is in his present state of evolvement. All states are necessary to the growth and happiness of the individual and all eventually progress up the ladder of life to God-power.

Peace Within

 What is ardently desired is possible to achieve, but one must first have peace within himself ...

 

Peace is within the grasp of all people and all truly want peace whether or not the realization of this is there. What is ardently desired is possible to achieve, but one must first have peace within himself before it can be expressed outwardly. This truth is always evident in all departments of being.

In other words, what we believe we are exists for us and becomes manifest to us in our world, our environment. If we are within at peace, in perfect harmony of mind and body, expressing health, plenty and, paramount of all, love, we are then peace. Heaven, the kingdom of God, is within and we outwardly express the conditions of our within (our minds) at all times. 

If we desire to express greater happiness, love, peace, or whatever we need at the time, we must believe, must know we can change conditions that now may exist into greater potentials for our life by thought. 

Thoughts are things, and have power, great power, so we must only let in those thoughts that have the powers we need and want to better express our life upon this earth plane.

We must work at it constantly until it becomes habit and then we are the expression in life we have believed and desired. Act as if you have it now, believe it and make it so and it will be manifested unto you.

Please the Inner Man

 To do that which we know is right and to self-approve all we do is to be really successful.

 

We all should listen to the still small voice within that in the quiet can and does give counsel to us when it is needed, if we but heed and listen. This is the voice of conscience and of God, one and the same.

We must not think of God in some far away place for that is not so, he is within each one of us. To know this and to give heed to this is to have success in all we may undertake to do.   

To others it may appear that we have anything but success, but that is because they do not know and cannot realize that every step along the way is a success of sorts. We may never win the fickle plaudits of the world at large, but if we please the world and please not the self within, that is not success.

We must please in every way the inner man, the God-power within us. We must have perfect faith that this is possible and we can do it. We must banish all fear, all negation. Dare and do for this, and this alone, means success in life. To do that which we know is right and to self-approve all we do is to be really successful.   

Act only for the good, knowing you have the approval of the conscience within. Fear not the consequences, but know this. From this stems happiness and self-esteem.

Unfoldment

Life is what we make it and decree for ourselves.

 

All unfoldment comes from within. A developed intuition -- hunches, inspiration, ideas, imagination or whatever it is called, is all a matter of soul growth.  

Everyone is capable of it, true, but all are on different rungs of the ladder, so to speak, as all are not vibrating on a high plane of thought. Unless one is vibrating on a high plane of thought, one is not receiving the highest and best from Spirit through his own forces, and not necessarily able to receive them unless receptive.  

 Many receive because their thoughts are on a good vibratory force, but do not realize that they are tuned in to Spirit when they are in a thoughtful meditative period. They simply know that their minds function best this way, not realizing their own great potential.

On the other hand, the higher Spiritual forces cannot penetrate the lower, more material and heavy vibrations of negative thought and consequent errors, therefore the persons so minded are completely unaware of the higher forces of life and cannot unfold until they themselves raise their vibrations by ridding themselves of these low forces of life.

Life is what we make it and decree for ourselves. God is not mocked, justice is always being meted out, and we grow and unfold or continue to dwell in error until we finally, in desperation perhaps, desire to be rid of the low conditions of life.

True Feelings

We are the sum and substance of, not exactly our thoughts but, our true feelings. 

 

We are the sum and substance of, not exactly our thoughts but, our true feelings. Of course, thoughts are important and those we hold constantly do become convictions and then we feel differently, if they are thoughts that differ from those we have hitherto held. Changing these thoughts into feelings or, I should say, consciously trying to do this requires steady conscientious work with a capital W.   

All success in every venture depends on work in a given direction and changing our insecure, self-conscious, immature feelings into those with more power, more personality of a positive nature requires patience and real perseverance.  

There will be stumbling blocks on the road, there will be times of self-doubt, but if you will keep the end result in view and know that everything is possible to God and therefore through this power of God to man, you will win and become that which you so earnestly desire.  

You must make a start at some point so why not now? Give it all you have and know with God’s help you will succeed. The road may not be as long or as hard as anticipated. Often this is so. Our fears are often founded on thin air and when worked over are dissipated like so much fog. 

Act and then feeling will follow. Believe and it is so.
