Mind Power

Resurrection

We are constant weavers of destiny and there is no escape for us from the destiny we have chosen for ourselves. 

 

“I am the Resurrection and the Life.” What is the inner meaning of this profound statement? 

To resurrect is to once again bring into eternal life from a mortal life; to shed the material body for the spiritual body, to lift out of oneself into a higher state of being. All this, self-done through the laws of the Father God, ever present, ever powerful, ever loving.

The life is eternal and is eternal now, but is always changing, evolving from the inner man. His thoughts resolve into actions and so the law works and we grow outwardly and inwardly. Change being the order of the day with life and growth from what we are now to what we constantly hold in the mind as our controlling thought which gradually evolves into manifestation, and so it continues. 

We are constant weavers of destiny and there is no escape for us from the destiny we have chosen for ourselves. We are, of course, influenced by our circumstances and those of others about us, but, by and large, our circumstances conform to our thought and expectations of good or ill that we entertain.

Keep control of the thought life and keep happy, positive thoughts in your mind.

Seeking the Light

 

...when each day sees a little gain a bit more harmony and peace, greater love and courage, then we know we are on the right track expanding and growing in the light of God’s love.

 

Every day we are in the process of growth. We are all striving in one way or another to grow toward the light as we see it. Later on the light may become brighter; we may become enabled better to see the way because we become more spiritally unfolded, but each day shows a little growth if we work in the right.

There are those, of course, who are content to stay more or less at a standstill and stagnate, but at some time in their lives they will again reach for and seek the light and go forth and grow.

A few, tragically, seem to grow in the darknes and feel they are downtrodden and then, instead of reaching for the light of understanding of their plight, they become bitter. Their lives turn inward in themselves and become twisted, dwarfed and, in many cases, ugly baecause then crimes flourish and only tragedy can come forth until they too once again seek the light. 

The road back is long, hard and fraught with much misery and they then need a helping hand from those whose light is bright enough to overcome the dangers and see ony the good that can be brought forth.

So when each day sees a little gain, a bit more harmony and peace, greater love and courage, then we know we are on the right track expanding and growing in the light of God’s love.

Watch your Words

Always remember improvement can only come in a constructive manner, not in fault finding, criticism or tongue lashings. 

 

Watch your words each day that sometimes, when things seem particularly vexing, we do not say things that later could be regretted. All have some inharmony in life to overcome. That is all a part of life so, no matter what the situation or the person involved, try to hold your tongue and develop patience, a very necessary quality to all persons who want to grow in a spiritual way.

We must remember that sometimes the very faults we so condemn in others we may also have in a perhaps lesser degree, therefore they are more noticeable and more objectionable to us. We also must remember that we must judge not by mere appearances, but look over and above them realizing that there is a reason for everything and an answer to every problem.

Sometimes we are thrown into contact with a person whose every act and every vibration seems to bring us annoyance. Remember this is part of life, and the reason this is so is that this particular person needs changing and you also need changing and, in order to grow out of errors of thought, we must constantly overcome and reach out for the love, the peace, the inner strength to combat these errors in the life. 

Perhaps this person needs the very things in life that only you can bring out and maybe you too can only overcome weaknesses by being in contact with a person of such differing thoughts and vibrations. In any event, try to overlook and to hold your tongue unless some constructive or positive thought is put forth. It will be trying, yes, for it is far easier to explode and give vent to pent up feelings, but it is soul strengthening to follow The Golden Rule.  

Always remember improvement can only come in a constructive manner, not in fault finding, criticism or tongue lashings. Give out love and peace and greater things will come into your life as your reward.

Evolving

We have the power, we have the solution to all our problems in our grasp if we but believe we can and will go forth and do and overcome.

 

The seeds of life grow in the dark, and later, when the roots are started, begin growing toward the light. The light is within but must first be awakened after the roots of growth are thrust forth into the earth life.  

Our childhood is the root system of life on the earth plane and in later years we may perhaps become aware of a greater life of the Spirit, an inner life that can help us to become a more spiritualized being.  

We are often awakened to this by some experience of life that shatters us to the core, or rudely disturbs our thoughts and throws our illusions to the winds. If this is so, it is well and we needed that experience to bring us into a greater light, a greater awareness of the purpose of life.   

We could not, even if we so desired, stand still. We must have varied experiences to bring us greater life. We may not always enjoy these experiences for many bring grief and inharmony to us, but if that is so, then it is needed to bring home to us some truth which in no other way would we see. 

We often need an abrupt change in our way of thinking about ourselves and others in order that our lives should be benefited thereby. We ourselves can often bring about a desired change simply by changing our thought about it and though not easy to accomplish, it is possible and if done will bring us what we seek in life.  

Peace, love, friendship, joy -- all should and can be ours if we will them to be and our need is great enough to cause us to change our ways to ways of truth and light.

If we desire strongly to attain a material thing or a spiritual attribute, either one can be ours by sincere application and by faith that it is so and will be so always. We have the power, we have the solution to all our problems in our grasp if we but believe we can and will go forth and do and overcome.

Conquer Your True Self

 

Be true to the true self within and look within for the Kingdom of God for that is where it will be found.

 

“Seek the Kingdom of God that is within, then all else will be added unto you.”  These prophetic words are as true today as they were when first they were spoken.

Nothing outside ourselves really matters. It is our attitudes, our feelings and emotions that really make of the outward manifestations what they become to us.

We must conquer self and subjugate it so that we rule and not our feelings and emotions. We must always be at the helm. We cannot for a moment let our ship of life founder else we could easily be in distress and even founder on the rocks and reefs of life’s treacherous shoals.  

If we can keep an even keel when all else is stormy about us. If we can see through the mists and the fogs of doubt and uncertainty and steer for the quiet harbor of trust, faith and love, we will always be safe, and, what is more, always happy for with perfect faith, a cheerful countenance and love in our hearts we will win and reach our goal in life whatever it may be.  

Be true to the true self within and look within for the Kingdom of God for that is where it will be found.

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.

Experiences

Every experience should be looked upon as good for each is needed for the growth of the soul.

 

Each one on the earth plane, and everywhere in fact, is different one from the other, even so-called identical twins. 

No one has the same needs, nor the same outlook in life nor the same experiences because the requirements of all differ widely, and it is well that this is so. 

Many, of course, do have similar experiences, but the reaction to the experience would differ with each because of the difference in background, thought and feeling. So life is made up of very different lives that come together for a time and then oftentimes are separated by distance or by death (we should say transition). 

Changes come to all as they are needed. Every experience should be looked upon as good for each is needed for the growth of the soul. In time, all will see that this is so. 

We may long for greater closeness of family ties but this too must change and of necessity must expand and grow, and the place for its growth is not always where we would most desire it to be. However, we can change our thought and our feeling about it, creating greater harmony in life by keeping our outlook cheerful. In time, we may find other and more welcome changes that will bring about our fondest dreams. 

We only grow by change and we must adjust our thoughts to it.

Conquer Self

Our thought life, if at all negative, must be recharged with positive thoughts that give us a more vital and vibrant attitude ...

 

When we conquer self, we conquer the world for it is only through ourselves that this is actually possible. We must be strong within to bear the strife and burdens of life. We must have love within for all creation and know that though we may not understand all life’s problems and purposes, still we have love for all creatures and tolerance for others that they too may see the light and solve their special problems as we are striving to solve ours.

Patience too is a very necessary attribute to acquire. In fact, it is a necessity if we are truly to master the self within. Our thought life, if at all negative, must be recharged with positive thoughts that give us a more vital and vibrant attitude and keep us on the crest of the wave rather than allowing us to become inundated by the negative attitudes.

This current of life that flows through all can be so charged that we become more keenly aware of all life that is around and about us. It will give us a great deal of enjoyment and happiness when we follow this path. It is not easy, nothing really worthwhile ever is, but once attained and we hold to it, we are the master. Our way is lightened and our burdens as nothing compared to the old way.

All is not gained at once, but when we plod steadily on in this vein we will win through and the rewards are many.

Material World

Love is the all-powerful thought and faith is its handmaiden and consort.

 

We live, move and have our being in a so-called material world. How material is it actually? Is it not all really spiritual when you come to analyze it? 

All material substances can be found to be of a greatly condensed substance that is held together by vibratory force. In essence the material is anything but solid, but is formed from substances in cohesion one with another. 

We ourselves, however solid we may seem, are evolved from the same sort of substances we find around and about us, differing, of course, because of divine mind, which we all have and which actually is in all nature as well.  

We have the wonderful attribute of thought, which in turn brings about action, and our very environment and all conditions about and around us are caused by the all-powerful thought process ever going on. We are, in truth, what we think, and the knowledge of our true divinity is invaluable to us to bring to us success in all we endeavor to achieve.

Love is the all-powerful thought and faith is its handmaiden and consort. Both we must have within us in order to gain the Kingdom of Heaven that lies within, the keys of which are in your own hands.

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.
