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.

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.

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.

Desires of the Soul

All desires may not be good, but of whatever nature they are necessary to the soul for its full development. 

 

Desires are the necessities of the soul. All desires may not be good, but of whatever nature they are necessary to the soul for its full development. Some desires when realized do not meet or come up to the expectation of the person, but it was necessary to them in order that they might learn the lesson therein. 

All should desire happiness and peace and harmony (really one and the same) but all are not evolved to do so. Some have truly base desires, such as revenge or lust to kill even and many emotions born in error. They must be eradicated in order for the soul to grow for they are like poisons that fester and cause disease. In truth, they are from diseased minds and many do not learn these lessons unless they follow the terrible desires of their warped minds.  

On the other hand, those whose vibrations are above the baser ones of earth life grow into a harmony and peace, and all things are added unto them just as was promised by Jesus. So that really it is a matter of soul growth and a getting away from ignorance and error into the light. By light we mean the greater wisdom and love of God in which we all grow and continually evolve. 

Watch then carefully that all desires of the soul are in a high vibratory rate and in that we will have our happiness.

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.

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.

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.

Resolve

 

We gain strength of character by keeping to our resolves and gain in health and strength of body and mind.  

 

In whatever we set out to do if we are in earnest and really try hard to gain our objective, we are helped by those in Spirit who know conditions even better than those on the earth plane.  

We here in Spirit can see the real thoughts of those we contact and thereby know the motives and ideas entertained by those on your plane of life. We try, of course, to help all, but some are not really trying, they only go through the motions and have no true thought of going through [with] many of the things they attempt.   

How short-sighted and foolish are these people, for in truth they cheat themselves and no one else, unless that other person is in some way injured by the out-working of some scheme or other. Often people will think one relapse will not hurt, just one little drink, or one little piece of candy, but it is the start of the downfall for seldom does one then keep to the rule he has laid down for himself.

It is so easy to break the rules and so hard to keep firmly on the right track, but the end result is worth all the hardship and struggle and nothing ventured is ever truly wasted.

We gain strength of character by keeping to our resolves and gain in health and strength of body and mind. So keep your promises to yourself and work hard at them and all will be easier than you imagine.
