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. 

Thoughts are Things

... we all need to weed out and constantly keep guard over our minds and, like a garden, allow only the most beautiful flowers to grow there ...

 

Thoughts are things. This fact we cannot change, cannot alter no matter what. Our most constant state of mind colors our thought life and finally brings into manifestation exactly what we have held in mind, whether or not it is desired.   

Suppose for instance that we have allowed for a long period of time thoughts of resentment, envy, jealousy and even hatred. Given time and continuing to flourish, they will manifest in the human body as various illnesses bringing forth their own kind for the law of attraction is always at work and no one can escape its effects.

It behooves all of us to keep strong all the kind, happy, good thoughts in our atmosphere so that they will bring forth their own kind, multiplying the goodness and health and peace of mind of the individual who holds these positive conditions in his mind.  

In actuality, we all need to weed out and constantly keep guard over our minds and, like a garden, allow only the most beautiful flowers to grow there, killing off the choking weeds of evil thoughts and all negative thoughts of mind as fast as they try to enter. It is a constant struggle to eradicate them, but such a rewarding one that we must all try harder to improve.

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.

Striving for Harmony

 

... it is only in the overcoming of the possessiveness of material gain and the realization of kinship with all life and the growth of love that peace or harmony in life will come.

 

We are all striving for harmony in life, for peace and the wisdom that makes harmony possible. Many do not realize just what it is they are after in life. Some think it is for material gain, material possessions, et cetera and that, achieving this, they will automatically have peace, love, and harmony in life. In other words, the Kingdom of God that is within will have been quickened, but this is not so.   

This inner peace is not found in this way at all. In fact it is only in the overcoming of the possessiveness of material gain and the realization of kinship with all life and the growth of love that peace or harmony in life will come.  

We all tend to worship false gods and to see through a glass darkly rather than to see the light that always is there for us to see when we arrive at the proper state of mind. We must aspire before we can become inspired, and then too it is a long, hard road with many a downfall before we see the truth.

How simple life would be if only the selfish, negative thoughts could be kept out. We must constantly police our thoughts and know that in so doing we are on the right road. That is indeed a big step in the right direction, for to seek is to find, and to knock [means] it will be opened unto you and to all who so do.

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.

Peace for Mankind

People do not ... grasp the fact that they alone are responsible for their fate, that they are the only ones who can bring about a just and lasting peace ...  instead of the profits of war.

 

Peace is one of the most important elements in the world today and one that all mankind should seek and truly are seeking. The reason it is not in evidence many places in the world is also quite apparent. It is due to the greed, selfishness, self-centeredness and kindred emotions held by the people of the world; yes, held onto in spite of all the knowledge that it is the salvation of the world.

People do not and will not grasp the fact that they alone are responsible for their fate, that they are the only ones who can bring about a just and lasting peace if they truly and unselfishly desire it instead of the profits of war. 

It is a deplorable fact that men can and do profit from the agony of others who become involved in war because of the greed and power desired by the men who are empowered to run some of the countries of the world.

Peace commences first in the minds and hearts of all mankind, and we must become more tolerant, more kindly towards those who have less of the world’s goods, who are perhaps also of another race or creed and who do not think or act as we do for their backgrounds differ tremendously.  

Can we not then overcome these negative conditions and through our better selves learn and negotiate with those who so desperately need assistance?  All must do so eventually, but suffering will come unless they [the greedy, the selfish] change their ways.

The Light of Wisdom

If man were imbued with more love of fellow travelers on the road of life, regardless of race, color or creed and freed from the slavery of self-enrichment, this world would be rid of war and all threats of war.

 

Many on this earth plane of life need the light of wisdom desperately and know it not. Some in high places in the government and in the influential places of life need it even more than the so-called masses. 

If man were imbued with more love of fellow travelers on the road of life, regardless of race, color or creed and freed from the slavery of self-enrichment, this world would be rid of war and all threats of war. It is only where darkness exists in the mind of man that allows these terrible ideas to be a threat to mankind.  

We are all children of God, all on varied rungs of the ladder of evolvement and all traveling the path of greater enlightenment. To help one another along the way is one of the great privileges of this earth’s pathway to light, or wisdom. 

But many wrap themselves in the cocoon of ignorance and prejudice, feeling they are superior so they will have to go on in the life in error until such a time as they awaken to the fact that all is life, the same life, and all is of God and all going ever onward to greater light in the world. Many will not step out of their own little ruts of wrong thinking until some great catastrophe forces them to do so.  

We must expand our thoughts to encompass the greater good of all, not just the privileged few.

Self-Approval

 

Believe within that you are the arbitrator of your fate, the dealer of life’s cards and watch to see the positive good take control.

 

Self-approval must come first in life.

If we are at war in any way within ourselves, peace of mind, happiness and all good in life cannot become manifest to us because, of necessity, our vibrations do not and cannot attract it.   

God’s laws of life are not mocked and we are powerless to change them; so in order to have outward conditions as we desire, we must hold the good and positive power thoughts of life. We must not only hold them but, most importantly, we must truly believe them. It has been said that believing makes it so, and this is a great truth. 

Our true feelings, another name for belief, often belie us by showing their manifestation to us. We cannot escape this fact. Life is a constant struggle, at least this expression of it, for we often find it very difficult to believe truly that which we cannot see, that which we cannot grasp. Until this is overcome and we can truly say and know within that we are satisfied, that our true belief is right and we find peace and happiness in all life’s expressions, then we know we are indeed on a high mental plane of life and one not easily disturbed by the minor irritations of living. 

Believe within that you are the arbitrator of your fate, the dealer of life’s cards and watch to see the positive good take control.

Giving Thanks

To be grateful is to allow more free expressions of love and abundance to flow into your life and to give pleasure, health and plenty in all you do.  

 

We should all give thanks each day for the wonderful privilege of life and its myriad expressions, all of which are a part of God, the All in all. To be grateful is to allow more free expressions of love and abundance to flow into your life and to give pleasure, health and plenty in all you do.  

Wealth is not counted in money alone; that is not true wealth. To be really wealthy is to have spiritual awareness -- love, peace and joy in your life for with these attributes others come and are attracted to you through the laws of vibration.  

You attract on the plane in which you vibrate and, if it was known to them, all should want to be on the highest possible plane of thought that they might have the real joys of life never found in mere material possessions, although these have their place.

Then too we must cultivate confidence in this self within that we may follow the path to greater selfhood and greater expression of life through direction only found in the inner man, the still small voice of God within each and every one of us.  

With this, all is possible and every ideal and idea can and will be fulfilled if the God-power is in control. It is true living, all else is sham.
