GRATITUDE

                                                    STAY GRATITUDE

                THE WHOLE PROCESS OF MENTAL ADJUSTMENT AND ATONEMENT CAN BE SUMMED UP IN ONE WORD, GRATITUDE.

                FIRST, YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE INTELLIGENT SUBSTANCE, FROM WHICH ALL THINGS PROCEED, SECOND, YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS SUBSTANCE GIVES YOU EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE, AND THIRD, YOU RELATE YOURSELF TO IT BY A FEELING OF DEEP AND PROFOUND GRATITUDE.

              MANY PEOPLE WHO ORDER THEIR LIVES RIGHTLY IN ALL OTHER WAYS ARE KEPT IN POVERTY BY THEIR LACK OF GRATITUDE. HAVING RECEIVED ONE GIFT FROM GOD, THEY CUT THE WIRES THAT CONNECT THEM WITH HIM BY FAILING TO MAKE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

              IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEARER WE LIVE TO THE SOURCE OF WEALTH, THE MORE WEALTH WE SHALL RECEIVE. IT IS ALSO EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SOUL THAT IS ALWAYS GRATEFUL LIVES IN CLOSER TOUCH WITH GOD THAN THE ONE THAT NEVER LOOKS TO HIM IN THANKFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 

             THE MORE GRATEFULLY WE FIX OUR MINDS ON THE SUPREME WHEN GOOD THINGS COME TO US, THE MORE GOOD THINGS WE WILL RECEIVE, AND THE MORE RAPIDLY THEY WILL COME. THE REASON SIMPLY IS THAT THE MENTAL ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE DRAWS THE MIND INTO CLOSER TOUCH WITH THE SOURCE FROM WHICH THE BLESSINGS COM.

              IF IT IS A NEW THOUGHT TO YOU THAT GRATITUDE BRINGS YOUR WHOLE MIND INTO CLOSER HARMONY WITH THE CREATIVE ENERGIES OF THE UNIVERSE, CONSIDER IT WELL, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS TRUE. THE GOOD THINGS YOU ALREADY POSSESS HAVE COME TO YOU ALONG THE LINE OF OBEDIENCE TO CERTAIN LAWS. GRATITUDE WILL LEAD YOUR MIND OUT ALONG THE WAYS BY WHICH THINGS COME, AND IT WILL KEEP YOU IN CLOSE HARMONY WITH CREATIVE THOUGHT AND PREVENT YOU FROM FAILING INTO COMPETITIVE THOUGHT.

           

GRATITUDE ALONE CAN KEEP YOU LOOKING TOWARD THE ALL, AND PREVENT YOU FROM FALLING INTO THE ERROR OF THINKING OF THE SUPPLY AS LIMITED, AND TO DO THAT WOULD BE FATAL TO YOUR HOPES. THERE IS A LAW OF GRATITUDE IS THE NATURAL PRINCIPLE THAT ACTION AND REACTION ARE ALWAYS EQUAL, AND IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THE GRATEFUL OUTREACHING OF YOUR MIND IN THANKFUL PRAISE TO THE SUPREME IS A LIBERATION OR EXPENDITURE OR FORCE. IT CANNOT FAIL TO REACH THAT TO WHICH IT ADDRESSED, AND THE REACTION IS AN INSTANTANEOUS MOVEMENT TOWARD YOU.

DRAW NIGH UNTO GOD, AND HE WILL DRAW NIGH UNTO YOU, THAT IS A STATEMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TRUTH. AND IF YOUR GRATITUDE IS STRONG AND CONSTANT, THE REACTION IN DIVINE SUBSTANCE WILL BE STRONG AND CONTINUOUS, THE MOVEMENT OF THE THINGS YOU WANT WILL BE ALWAYS TOWARD YOU. YOU CANNOT EXERCISE MUCH POWER WITHOUT GRATITUDE, FOR IT IS GRATITUDE THAT KEEPS YOU CONNECTED WITH POWER.

BUT THE VALUE OF GRATITUDE DOES NOT CONSIST SOLELY IN GETTING YOU MORE BLESSSINGS IS THE FUTURE. WITHOUT GRATITUDE YOU CANNOT LONG KEEP FROM DISSATISFIED THOUGHT REGARDING THINGS AS THEY ARE. THE MOVEMENT YOU PERMIT YOUR MIND TO DWELL WITH DISSATISFACTION UPON THINGS AS THEY ARE, YOU BEGIN TO LOE GROUND. YOU FIX  ATTENTION UPON THE COMMON, THE ORDINARY, THE POOR, AND THE SQUALID AND MEAN, AND YOUR MIND TAKES THE FORM OF THESE THINGS. THEN YOU WILL TRANSMIT THESE FORMS OR MENTAL IMAGES TO THE DIVINE, AND THE COMMON, THE POOR, THE SQUALID, THE MEAN WILL COME TO YOU.

TO PERMIT YOUR MIND TO DWELL UPON THE INFERIOR IS TO BECOME INFERIOR AND TO SURROUND YOURSELF WITH INDERIOR THINGS. ON THE OTHER HAND, TO FIX YOUR ATTENTION ON THE BEST IS TO SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE BEST, AND TO BECOME THE BEST, THE CREATIVE POWER WITHING US MAKES US INTO IMAGE OF THAT TO WHICH WE GIVE OUR ATTENTION. WE ARE THINKING SUBSTANCE, AND THINKING SUBSTANCE ALWAYS TAKES THE FORM OF THAT WHICH IT THINKS ABOUT. THE GRATEFUL MIND IS CONSTANTLY FIXED UPON THE BEST, THEREFORE IT TENDS TO BECOME THE BEST, IT TAKES THE FORM OR CHARACTER OF THE BEST, AND WILL RECEIVE THE BEST.

ALSO, FAITH IS BORN OF GRATITUDE. THE GRATEFUL MIND CONTINUALLY EXPECTS GOOD THINGS, AND EXPECTATION BECOMES FAITH. THE REACTION OF GRATITUDE UPON ONE'S OWN MIND PRODUCES FAITH, AND EVERY OUTGOING WAVE OF GRATEFUL THANKSGIVING INCREASES FAITH. AND EVERY OUTGOING WAVE OF GRATEFUL THANKSGIVING INCREASES FAITH. IF YOU HAVE NO FEELING OF GRATITUDE, YOU CANNOT GET RICH BY THE CREATIVE METHOD, AS WE SHALL SEE IN THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS.

IT IS NECESSARY, THEN, TO CULTIVATE THE HABIT OF BEING GRATEFUL FOR EVERY GOOD THING THAT COMES TO YOU AND TO GIVE THANKS CONTINUOUSLY. AND BECAUSE ALL THINGS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR ADVANCEMENT, YOU SHOULD INCLUDE ALL THINGS IN YOUR GRATITUDE. DO NOT WAST TIME THINKING OR TALKING ABOUT THE SHORTCOMINGS ORGANISATION OF THE WORLD HAS MADE YOUR OPPORTUNITY, ALL YOU GET REALLY COMES TO YOU BECAUSE OF THEM. 

DO NOT RAGE AGAINST, CORRUPT POLITICIANS, IF IT WERE NOT FOR POLITICIANS WE SHOULD FALL INTO ANARCHY, AND YOUR OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE GREATLY LESSENTED. GOD HAS WORKED A LONG TIME AND VERY PATIENTLY TO BRING US UP TO WHERE WE ARE IN INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT, AND HE IS GOING RIGHT ON WITH HIS WORK. THERE IS NOT THE LEAST DOUBT THAT HE WILL DO AWAY WITH PLUTOCRATS, CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY, AND POLITICIANS AS SOON AS THEY CAN BE SPARED, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, BEHOLD THEY ARE ALL VERY GOOD. REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE ALL HELPING TO ARRAGE THE LINES OF TRANSMISSION ALONG WHICH YOUR RICHES WILL COME TO YOU, AND BE GRATEFUL TO THEM ALL. THIS WILL BRING YOU INTO HARMONIOUS RELATIONS WITH THE GOOD IN EVERYTHING, AND  THE GOOD IN EVERYTHING WILL MOVE TOWARD YOU.

THE WAY TO GETTING RICH

                                                  THINK CERTAIN WAY

                     THOUGHT IS THE CREATIVE POWER, OR THE IMPELLING FORCE THAT CAUSES THE CREATIVE POWER TO ACT. THINKING IN A CERTAIN WAY WILL BRING RICHES TO YOU, BUT YOU MUST NOT RELY UPON THOUGHT ALONE, PAYING NO ATTENTION TO PERSONAL ACTION. THAT IS THE ROCK UPON WHICH MANY OTHERWISE SCIENTIFIC METAPHYSICAL THINKERS MEET SHIPWRECK-THE FAILURE TO CONNECT THOUGHT WITH PERSONAL ACTION.

                 WE HAVE NOT YET REACHED THE STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT, EVEN SUPPOSING SUCH A STAGE TO BE POSSIBLE, IN WHICH WE CAN CREATE DIRECTLY FROM DIVINE SUBSTANCE WITHOUT NATURE'S PROCESSESS OR THE WORK OF HUMAN HANDS. WE MUST NOT ONLY THINK, BUT OUR PERSONAL ACTION MUST SUPPLEMENT OUR THOUGHT.

              BY THOUGHT YOU CAN CAUSE THE GOLD IN THE HEARTS OF THE MOUNTAINS TO BE IMPELLED TOWARD YOU, BUT IT WILL NOT MINE ITSELF, REFINE ITSELF, COIN ITSELF INTO DOUBLE EAGLES, AND COME ROLLING ALONG THE ROADS SEEKING ITS WAY INTO YOUR POCKET.

          UNDER THE IMPELLING POWER OF THE SUPREME SPIRIT, YOUR AFFAIRS WILL BE SO ORDERED THAT SOMEONE WILL BE LET TO MINE THE GOLD FOR YOU. OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS WILL BE SO DIRECTED THAT THE GOLD WILL BE BROUGHT TOWARD YOU, AND YOU MUST SO ARRAGE YOUR OWN BUSINESS AFFAIRS THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO RECEIVE IT WHEN IT COMES TO YOU. YOUR THOUGHTS MAKES ALL THINGS, ANIMATE AND INANIMATE, WORK TO BRING YOU WHAT YOU WANT, HOWEVER, YOUR PERSONAL ACTIVITY MUST BE SUCH THAT YOU CAN RIGHTLY RECEIVE WHAT YOU WANT IT REACHES YOU. YOU ARE NOT TO TAKE IT AS CHARITY, NOR TO STEAL IT.YOU MUST GIVE OTHERS MORE IN USE VALUE THAN THEY GIVE YOU IN CASH VALUE.

THE SCIENTIFI USE OF THOUGHT CONSISTS IN FORMING A CLEAR AND DISTINCT MENTAL IMAGE OF WHAT YOU WANT BY HOLDING FAST TO THE PURPOSE TO GET WHAT YOU WANT, AND IN REALIZING WITH GRATEFUL FAITH THAT YOU DO GET WHAT YOU WANT.

DO NOT  TRY TO "PROJECT" YOUR THOUGHT IN ANY MYSTERIOUS OR OCCULT WAY, WITH THE IDEA OF HAVING IT GO OUR AND DO THINGS FOR YOU. THAT IS WASTED EFFORT, AND WILL WEAKEN YOUR POWER TO THINK WITH SANITY. THE ACTION OS THOUGHT IN GETTING RICH IS FULLY EXPLAINED IN THE PRECEDING CHAPTERS. YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE POSITIVELY IMPRESS YOUR VISION UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE, WHICH HAS THE SAME DESIRE FOR MORE LIFE THAT YOU HAVE,AND THIS VISION, RECEIVED FROM YOU, SETS ALL THE CREATIVE FORCES AT WORK IN AND THROUGH THEIR REGULAR CHANNELS OF ACTION, BUT DIRECTED TOWARD YOU.

IT IS NOT YOUR PART TO GUIDE OR SUPERVISE THE CREATIVE PROCESS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO WITH THAT IS TO RETAIN YOUR VISION, STICK TO YOUR PURPOSE, AND MAINTAIN YOUR FAITH AND GRATITUDE. BUT YOU MUST ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY, SO THAT YOU CAN APPROPRIATE WHAT IS YOUR WHEN IT COMES TO YOU,  SO THAT YOU CAN MEET THE THINGS YOU HAVE IN YOUR PICTURE, AND PUT THEM IN THEIR PROPER PLACES AS THEY ARRIVE.

YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE TRUTH OF THIS. WHEN THINGS REACH YOU, THEY WILL BE IN THE HANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE, WHO WILL ASK AN EQUIVALENT FOR THEM. AND YOU CAN ONLY GET WHAT IS YOURS BY GIVING OTHERS WHAT IS THEIRS. YOUR POCKET BOOK IS NOT GOING TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO A MAGIC PURSE, WHICH SHALL BE ALWAYS FULL OF MONEY WITHOUT EFFORT ON YOUR PART. THIS IS THE CRUCIAL POINT IN THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH - RIGHT HERE, WHERE THOUGHT AND PERSONAL ACTION MUST BE COMBINED. THERE ARE VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO, CONSCIOUSLY, SET THE CREATIVE FORCES IN ACTION BY THE STRENGTH AND PERSISTENCE OF THEIR DESIRES, BUT WHO REMAIN POOR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT PROVIDE FOR THE RECEPTION OF THE THING THEY WANT WHEN IT COMES.

BY THOUGHT, THE THING YOU WANT IS BROUGHT TO YOU, BY ACTION YOU RECEIVE IT NOW. YOU CANNOT ACT IN THE PAST, AND IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE CLEARNESS OF YOUR MENTAL VISION THAT YOU DISMISS THE PAST FROM YOUR MIND. YOU CANNOT ACT IN THE FUTURE, FOR THE FUTURE IS NOT HERE YET. AND YOU CANNO TELL HOW YOU WILL WANT TO ACT IN ANY FUTURE CONTINGENCY UNTIL  THAT CONTINGENCY HAS ARRIVED.

BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT BUSINESS OR THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT NOW, DO NOT THINK THAT YOU MUST POSTPONE ACTION UNTIL YOU GET INTO THE RIGHT BUSINESS OR ENVIRONMENT. AND DO NOT SPEND TIME IN THE PRESENT TAKING THOUGHTS AS TO THE BEST COURSE IN POSSIBLE FUTURE EMERGENCIES. HAVE FAITH IN YOUR ABILITY TO MEET ANY EMERGENCY WHEN IT ARRIVES. IF YOU ACT IN THE PRESENT WITH YOUR MIND ON THE FUTURE, YOUR PRESENT ACTION WILL BE WITH A DIVIDED MIND, AND WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE. 

PUT YOUR WHOLE MIND INTO PRESENT ACTION.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREATIVE IMPULSE TO DIVINE SUBSTANCE, AND THEN SIT DOWN AND WAIT FOR RESULTS, IT YOU DO, YOU WILL NEVER GET THEM. THERE IS NEVER ANY TIME BUT NOW,AND THERE NEVER WILL BE ANY TIME BUT NOW. IF YOU ARE EVER TO BEGIN TO MAKE READY FOR THE RECEPTION OF WHAT YOU WANT, YOU MUST BEGIN NOW. AND YOUR ACTION, WHATEVER IT IS, MUST MOST LIKELY BE IN YOUR PRESENT BUSINESS OR EMPLOYMENT, AND MUST BE UPON THE PERSONS AND THINGS IN YOUR PRESENT ENVIRONMENT.

YOU CANNOT ACT WHERE YOU ARE NOT, YOU CANNOT ACT WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN, AND YOU CANNOT ACT WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO BE, YOU CAN ACT ONLY WHERE YOU ARE. DO NOT BOTHER AS TO WHETHER YESTERDAY'S WORK WAS WELL DONE OR ILL DONE, DO TODAY'S WORK WELL.

DO NOT TRY TO DO TOMORROW'S WORK NOW, THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME TO DO THAT WHEN YOU GET TO IT.  DO NOT TRY, OCCULT OR MYSTICAL MEANS, TO ACT ON PEOPLE OR THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF YOUR REACH. DO NOT WAIT FOR A CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT, BEFORE YOU ACT. GE A CHANGE OF ENVIROMENT BY ACTION.

❤ THERE IS A THINKING STUFF FROM WHICH ALL THINGS ARE MADE, AND WHICH,

 IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE, PERMEATES, PENETRATES, AND FILLS THE INTERSPACES

OF THE UNIVERSE.

❤ A THOUGHT, IN THIS SUBSTANCE, PRODUCES THE THING THAT IS IMAGED BY THE 

THOUGHT

  ❤ WE CAN FORM THINGS IN OUR THOUGHT, AND, BY IMPRESSIN OUR THOUGHT UPON

DIVINE SUBSTANCE, CAN CAUSE THE THING WE THINK ABOUT TO BE CREATED.

❤ IN ORDER TO DIE THIS, WE MUST PASS FROM THE COMPETITIVE TO THE CREATIVE

MIND, WE MUST FORM A CLEAR MENTAL PICTURE OF THE THINGS WE WANT, AND HOLD THIS PICTURE IN OUR THOUGHTS WITH FIXED PURPOSE TO GET WHAT WE

WANT, CLOSING OUR MIND TO ALL THAT MAY TEND TO SHAKE OUR PURPOSE, DIM OUR VISION, OR QUENCH OUR FAITH.

 ❤ THAT WE MAY RECEIVE WHAT WE WANT WHEN IT COMES, WE MUST ACT NOW UPON THE PEOPLE AND THINGS IN OUR PRESENT ENVIRONMENT.

HAVE YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR POWER

                                                  THE SOURCE OF POWER

                    OUR BRAIN, BODY, MIND, FACULTIES, AND TALENTS ARE THE MERE INSTRUMENTS WE USE IN DEMONSTRATING GREATNESS. IN THEMSELVES THEY DO NOT MAKE US GREAT. WE MAY HAVE A LARGE BRAIN AND A GOOD MIND, STRONG FACULTIES, AND BRILLIANT TALENTS, AND YET MAY NOT BE A GREAT PERSON UNLESS WE USE ALL THESE IN A GREAT WAY. THAT QUALITY WHICH ENABLES US TO USE ALL THESE IN A GREAT WAY. THAT QUALITY WHICH ENABLES US TO USE OUR ABILITIES IN A GREAT WAY MAKE US GREAT, AND TO THAT QUALITY WE GIVE THE NAME OF WISDOM. WISDOM IS THE ESSENTIALBASIS OF GREATNESS.

                  WISDOM IS THE POWER TO PERCEIVE THE BEST ENDS TO AIM AT AND THE BEST MEANS FOR REACHING THOSE ENDS. IT IS THE POWER TO PERCIEVE THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THE PERSON WHO IS WISE ENOUGH TO KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO, WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO WISH TO DO ONLY THE RIGHT THING AND WHO IS ABLE AND STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THE RIGHT THING IS A TRULY GREAT PERSON, WHO WILL INSTANTLY BECOME MARKED AS A PERSONALITY OF POWER IN ANY COMMUNITY AND WOLL RESPECTED AND HONORED BY ALL.

                                                                          ❤❤❤❤

               WISDOM IS DEPENDENT UPON KNOWLEDGE. WHERE THERE IS COMPLETE OGNORANCE THERE CAN BE NO WISDOM, NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE RIGHT THING TO DO. OUR KNOWLEDGE IS COMPARATIVELY LIMITED AND SO OUR WISDOM MUST BE SMALL, UNLESS WE CAN CONNECT OUR MIND WITH KNOWLEDGE MUST BE SMALL, UNLESSWE CAN CONNECT OUR MIND WITH KNOWLEDGE MUST BE SMALL, UNLESS WE CAN CONNECT OUR MIND WITH KNOWLEDGE GREATER THAN OUR OWN DRAW FROM IT BY INSPIRATION, THE WISDOM THAT OUR LIMITATIONS DENY US. OUR KNOWLEDGE IS LIMITED AND UNCERTAIN, THEREFORE, WE CANNOT HAVE WISDOM IN OURSELVES ALONE.

               ONLY GOD KNOWS ALL TRUTH, THEREFORE, ONLY GOD CAN HAVE REAL WISDOM OR KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT ALL TIMES. HOWEVER, WE CAN RECEIVE WISDOM FROM GOD. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE, ABRAHIM LINCOLN HAD LIMITED EDUCATION, BUT HE HAD THE POWER TO PERCEIVE TRUTH. IN LINCOLN WE SEE PREEMINENTLY APPARENT THE FACT THAT REAL WISDOM CONSISTS IN KNOWING THE RIGHT THING  TO DO AT ALL TIMES UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN HAVING THE WILL TO DO THE RIGHT THING, AND IN HAVING TALENT AND ABILITY ENOUGH TO BE COMPETENT AND ABLE TO DO THE RIGHT THING. BACK IN THE DAYS OF THE ABOLITION AGITATION, AND DURING THE COMPROMISE PERIOD, WHEN MOST PEOPLE WERE MORE OR LESS CONFUSED AS TO WHAT WAS RIGHT OR AS TO WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE, LINCOLN WAS NEVER UNCERTAIN. HE SAW THROUGH THE SUPERFICIAL ARGUMENTS OF THE PRO-SLAVERY ADHERENTS AND HE ALSO SAW THE IMPRACTICABILITY AND FANATICISM OF THE ABOLITIONISTS. HE SAW THE RIGHT ENDS TO AIM AT AND HE SAW THE BEST MEANS TO ATTAIN THOSE ENDS. IT WAS BECAUSE THE CITIZENS RECOGNIZED THAT HE PERCEIVED TRUTH AND KNEW THE RIGHT THING TO DO THAT THEY MADE HIM PRESIDENT.

                     PEOPLE WHO DEVELOP THE POWER TO PERCEIVE THE TRUTH, AND WHO CAN SHOW THAT THEY ALWAYS KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND THAT THEY CAN BE TRUSTED TO DO THE RIGHT THING, WILL BE HONORED AND ADVANCED, THE WHOLE WORLD IS LOOKING EAGERLY FOR SUCH LEADERS. WHEN LINCOLN BECAMEPRESIDENT, HE WAS SURROUNDED BY A MULTITUDE OF SO-CALLED ABLE ADVISERS, HARDLY ANY TWO OF WHOM WERE AGREED. AT TIMES THEY WERE ALL OPPOSED TO HIS POLICIES. AT TIMES, ALMOST THE WHOLE NORTH WAS OPPOSED TO WHAT HE PROPOSED TO DO. BUT HE SAW THE TRUTH WHEN OTHERS WERE MISLED BY APPEARANCES, HIS JUDGEMENT WAS SELDOM OR NEVER WRONG. HE WAS AT ONCE THE ABLEST STATESMAN AND THE BEST SOLDIER OF THE PERIOD. WHERE DID HE, A COMPARATIVELY UNLEARNED MAN, GET THIS WISDOM? WHERE DID HE, A COMPARATIVELY UNLEANED MAN, GET THIS WISDOM? IT WAS NOT DUT TO SOME FITNESS OF TEXTURE OF HIS BRAIN. IT WAS NOT DUE TO SOME PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC. 

IT WAS NOT EVEN A QUALITY OF MIND DUT TO SUPERIOR REASONING POWER. KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH IS NOT OFTEN REACHED BY THE PROCESSESS OF REASON. IT WAS DUT TO A SPIRITUAL INSIGHT.  HE PERCEIVED TRUTH, BUT WHERE DID HE PERCEIVE IT AND WHENCE DID THE PERCEPTION COME?

WE SEE SOMETHING SIMILAR IN GEORGE WASHIGTON, WHOSE FAITH AND COURAGE, DUT TO HIS PERCEPTION OF TRUTH, HELD THE COLONIES TOGETHER DURING THE LONG AND OFTEN APPARENTLY HOPELESS STRUGGLE OF THE REVOLUTION. WE SEE THE SAME THING IN ALL GREAT MEN AND WOMEN. THEY PERCEIVE TRUTH, BUT TRUTH CANNOT BE PERCEIVED UNTIL IT EXISTS, AND THERE CAN BE NO TRUTH UNTIL THERE IS A MIND TO PERCEIVE IT. TRUTH DOES NOT, EXIST APART FROM MIND. WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN WERE IN TOUCH AND COMMUNICATION WITH A MIND THAT KNEW ALL KNOWLEDGE AND CONTAINED ALL TRUTH - SO HAVE ALL WHO MANIFEST WISDOM. WISDOM IS OBTAINED BY READING THE MIND OF GOD.

HE LIVED ALMOST UNIVERSALLY ADMIRED AND DIED ALMOST UNIVERSALLY LAMENTED. IF HE ENJOYED LIFE MORE THAN ANY OTHER PERSON AT HIS TIME, IT CAN BE SAID WITH TRUTH THAT HE CONTRIBUTED AS MUCH AS ANY PERSON OF HIS TIME TO THE ENJOYMENT OF OTHERS.

HE WAS TOLERANT OF EVERYTHING BUT INTOLERANCE, AND MADE SOME CHARITABLE ALLOWANCE EVEN FOR THAT. WE SEE HIM AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF HIS LIFE ASSOCIATING ON FRIENDLY TERMS WITH QUAKERS, MORAVIANS, METHODISTS, PREBYTERIANS, CATHOLICS, DEISTS, JEWS AND ATHEISTS MEETING THEM ON THE COMMON GROUND OF HUMAN FELLOWSHIP, MAKING LIGHT OF THEIR THEORETICAL OPINIONS, VALUING THEM ONLY FOR THEIR HUMAN WORTH. 

THIS WAS BECAUSE HE DID NOT OVERESTIMATE HUMAN INTELLECT NOR UNDERVALUE THE HUMAN HEART. HE WAS ALSO AWARE THAT THE STRONGHOLDS OF SUPERSTITION ARE NEVER TO BE CARRIED BY DIRECT ASSAULT BUT GRADUALLY UNDERMINED BY THE RISING TIDE OF KNOWLEDGE AND GOOD FEELING. HIS WHOLE LIFE WAS A CALM, GOOD-NATURED PROTEST AGAINST NARROWNESS, INTOLERANCE AND BIGOTRY. HE LIVED BY THE PREMISE THAT THE ACCEPTABLE WAY OF SERVING GOD IS DO GOOD TO HIS OTHER CREATURES.

KNOW ABOUT YOGA

                                      THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BODY

👀👀👀👀👀

 

              INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CLEANLENESS BEING ESTABLISHED, ARISES DISGUST FOR ONE'S BODY, AND NON-INTERCOURSE WITH OTHER BODIES.

            WHEN THERE IS REAL PUFIFICATION OF THE BODY, EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL, THERE ARISES  NEGLECT OF THE BODY, AND ALL THIS IDEA OF KEEPING IT NICE WILL VANISH. WHAT OTHERS CALL THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FACE TO THE YOGI WILL APPEAR TO BE AN  ANIMAL'S FACE, IF THERE IS NOT INTELLIGENCE BEHIND IT. WHAT THE WORLD WILL CALL A VERY COMMON FACE HE WILL CALL HEAVENLY, IF THAT SPIRIT SHINES BEHIND IT. THIS THIRST AFTER BODY IS THE GREAT BANE OF HUMAN LIFE. SO, WHEN THIS PURITY IS ESTABLISHED, THE FIRST SIGN WILL BE THAT YOU DO NOT CARE TO THINK YOU ARE A BODY. IT IS ONLY WHEN PURITY COMES THAT WE GET RID OF THIS BODY IDEA.

            THERE ALSO ARISES PURIFICATION OF THE SATTVA, CHEERFULNESS OF THE MIND, CONCENTRATION, CONQUEST OF THE ORGANS, AND FITNESS FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE SELF.

           BY THIS PRACTICE THE SATTVA MATERIAL WILL PREVAIL, AND THE MIND WILL BECOME CONCENTRATED AND CHEERFUL. THE FIRST SIGN THAT YOU ARE BECOMING RELIGIOUS IS THAT YOU ARE BECOMING CHEERFUL. WHEN A MAN IS GLOOMY THAT MAY BE DYSPEPSIA, BUT IT IS NOT RELIGION. A PLEASURABLE TO THE SATTVIKA MAN, AND WHEN THIS PAIN IS CAUSED BY TAMAS, SO YOU MUST GET RID OF THAT,  MOROSENESS IS ONE OF THE RESULTS OF TAMAS. THE STRONG, THE WELL-KNIT, THE YOUNG THE HEALTHY, THE DARING ALONE ARE FIT TO BE YOGIS. TO THE YOGI EVERYTHING IS BLISS, EVERY HUMAN FACE THAT HE SEES BRINGS CHEERFULNESS TO HIM. THAT IS THE SIGN OF A VIRTUOUS MAN. MISERY IS CAUSED BY SIN, AND BY NO OTHER CAUSE. WHAT BUSINESS HAVE YOU WITH  CLOUDED FACES, IT IS TERRIBLE. IF YOU HAVE A CLOUDED FACE FO NOT GO OUT THAT DAY, SHUT YOURSELF UP IN YOUR ROOM. WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO CARRY THIS DISEASE  OUT  INTO THE WORLD? WHEN YOUR MIND HAS BECOME CONTROLLED YOU WILL HAVE CONTROL OVER THE WHOLE BODY, INSTEAD OF BEING A SLAVE TO THE MACHINE, THE MACHINE WILL BE YOUR SLAVE. INSTEAD OF THIS MACHINE BEING ABLE TO DRAG THE SOUL DOWN, IT WILL BE ITS GREATEST HELPMATE.

                        FROM CONTENTMENT COMES SUPERLATIVE HAPPINESS. THE RESULT OF MORTIFICATION IS BRINGING POWERS TO THE ORGANS AND THE BODY, BY DESTROYING THE IMPURITY. THE RESULTS OF MORTIFICATION ARE SEEN IMMEDIATELY SOMETIMES BY HEIGHTENED POWERS OF VISION, AND SO ON, HEARING THINGS AT A DISTANCE, ETC.

                                                                             ❤❤❤❤❤❤

                    BY REPETITION OF THE MANTRAS COMES THE REALISATION OF THE INTENDED DEITY. THE HIGHER THE BEINGS THAT YOU WANT TO GET, THE HARDER IS THE PRACTICE. BY SACRIFICING ALL TO ISVARA COMES SAMADHI. BY RESIGNATION TO THE LORD, SAMADHI BECOMES PERFECT. POPSTURE IS THAT WHICH IS FIRM AND PLEASANT. NOW COMES ASANA, POSTURE, UNTIL YOU CAN GET A FIRM SEAT YOU CANNOT PRACTICE BREATHING AND OTHER EXERCISE. THE SEAT BEING FIRM MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT FEEL THE BODY AT ALL, THEN ALONE IT HAS BECOME FIRM. BUT, IN THE ORDINARY WAY, YOU WILL FIND THAT AS SOON AS YOU SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES ALL SORTS OF DISTURBANCES COME INTO THE BODY, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE GOT BEYOND THE IDEA OF CONCRETE BODY YOU WILL LOSE ALL SENSE OF THE BODY. YOU WILL FEEL NEITHER PLEASURE NOR PAIN. AND WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR BODY UP AGAIN IT WILL FEEL SO RESTED, IT IS THE ONLY PERFECT REST THAT YOU CAN GIVE TO THE BODY. WHEN YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN CONQUERING THE BODY AND KEEPING IT FIRM, YOUR PRACTICE WILL REMAIN FIRM, BUT WHILE YOU ARE DISTURBED BY THE BODY YOUR NERVES BECOME DISTURBED, AND YOU CANNOT CONCENTRATE THE MIND. WE CAN MAKE THE SEAT FIRM BY THINKING OF THE INFINITE. WE CANNOT THINK OF THE ABSOLUTE INFINITE, BUT WE CAN THINK OF THE INFINITE SKY.

                   BY SLIGHT EFFORT AND MEDIATING OF THE UNLIMITED (POSTURE BECOMES FIRM AND PLEASANT), LIGHT AND DARKNESS, PLEASURE AND PAIN, WILL NOR THEN DISTURB YOU. SEAT BEING CONQUERED THE DUALITIES DO NOT OBSTRUCT. THE DUALITIES ARE GOOD AND BAD, HEAT AND COLD, AND ALL THE PAIRS OF OPPOSITES. 

                 CONTROLLING  THE MOTION OF THE EXHALATION AND THE INHALATION FOLLOWS AFTER THIS. WHEN THE POSTURE HAS BEEN CONQUERED, THEN THIS MOTION IS TO BE BROKEN AND CONTROLLED, AND THUS WE COME TO PRANAYAMA, THE CONTROLLING OF THE VITAL FORCES OF THE BODY. PRANA IS NOT BREATH, THOUGH IT IS USUALLY SO TRANSLATED. IT IS THE SUM TOTAL OF THE COSMIC ENERGY. IT IS THE ENERGY THAT IS IN EACH OBDY, AND ITS MOST APPARENT MANIFESTATION IS THE MOTION OF THE LUNGS. THIS MOTION IS CAUSED BY PRANA DRAWING IN THE BREATH, AND IS WHAT WE SEEK TO CONTROL IN PRANAYAMA. WE BEGIN BY CONTROLLING THE BREATH, AS THE EASIEST WAY OF GETTING CONTROL OF THE PRANA.

ITS MODIFICATIONS ARE EITHER EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL, OR MOTIONLESS, REGULATED BY PLACE, TIME, AND NUMBER, EITHER LONG OR SHORT. THE THREE SORTS OF MOTION OF THIS PRANAYAMA ARE, ONE BY WHICH WE DRAW THE BREATH IN, ANOTHER BY WHICH WE THROW IT OUT, AND THE THIRD ACTION IS WHEN THE BREATH IS HELD IN THE LUNGS, OR STOPPED FROM ENTERING THE LUNGS. THESE, AGAIN, ARE VARIED BY PLACE AND TIME. BY PLACE IS MEANT THAT THE PRANA IS HELD TO SOME PARTICULAR PART OF THE BODY. BY TIME IS MEANT HOW LONG THE PRANA SHOULD BE CONFINED TO A CERTAIN PLACE, AND SO WE ARE TOLD HOW MANY SECONDS TO KEEP ON MOTION, AND HOW MANY SECONDS TO KEEP ANOTHER. THE RESULT OF THIS PRANAYAMA IS UDGHATA, AWAKENING THE KUNDALINI.

THE FOURTH IS RESTRAINING THE PRANA BY DIRECTING IT EITHER TO THE EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL OBJECTS. THIS IS THE FOURTH SORT OF PRANAYAMA. PRANA CAN BE DIRECTED EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. FORM THAT, THE COVERING TO THE LIHT OF THE CHITTA IS ATTENUATED. THE CHITTA HAS, BY ITS OWN NATURE, ALL KNOWLEDGE. IT IS MADE SATTVA PARTICLES, BUT IS COVERED BY RAJAS AND TAMAS PARTICLES, AND BY PRANAYAMA THIS COVERING IS REMOVED.

AFTER THIS COVERING HAS BEEN REMOVED WE ARE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE THE MIND. 

THE DRAWING IN OF THE ORGANS IS BY THEIR GIVING UP THEIR OWN OBJECTS AND TAKING THE FORM OF THE MIND-STUFF. THIS ORGANS ARE SEPERATE STATES OF THE MIND-STUFF. I SEE A BOOK, THE FORM IS NOT IN THE BOOK, IT IS IN THE MIND. SOMETHING IS OUTSIDE WHICH CALLS THAT FORM UP. THE REAL FORM IS IN THE CHITTA. THESE ORGANS ARE IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES WITH, AND TAKING THE FORMS OF WHATEVER COMES TO THEM., IF YOU CAN RESTRAIN THE MIND-STUFF FROM TAKING FROM THESE FORMS THE MIND WILL REMAIN CALM. THIS IS CALLED PRATYAHARA. THENCE ARISES SUPREME CONTROL OF THE OFGANS.

WHEN THE YOGI HAS SUCCEEDED IN PREVENTING THE ORGANS FROM TAKING THE FORMS OF EXTERNAL OBJECTS, AND IN MAKING THEM REMAIN ONE WIH THE MIND-STUFF, THEN  COMES PERFECT CONTROL OF THE ORGANS, AND WHEN THE ORGANS ARE PERFECTLY UNDER CONTROL, EVERY MUSCLE AND NERVE WILL BE UNDER CONTROL, BECAUSE THE ORGANS ARE THE CENTRES OF ALL THE SENSATIONS, AND OF ALL ACTIONS. THESE ORGANS ARE DIVIDED INTO ORGANS OF WORK AND ORGANS OF SENSATION. WHEN THE ORGANS ARE CONTROLLED THE YOGI CAN CONTROL ALL FEELING AND DOING, THE WHOLE OF THE BODY WILL BE UNDER HIS CONTROL. THEN ALONE ONE BEGINS TO FEEL JOY IN BEING BORN, THEN ONE CAN TRUTHFULLY SAY, "BLESSED AM I THAT I WAS BORN". WHEN THAT CONTROL OF THE ORGANS IS OBTAINED, WE FEEL HOW WONDERFUL THIS BODY REALLY IS.

USE YOUR WILL POWER

                                      

                                           HOW TO USE YOUR WILL POWER

   

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

                 TO SET ABOUT GETTING RICH IN A SCIENTIFIC WAY, YOU DO NOT TRY TO APPLY YOUR WILL POWER TO ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF.

             YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO SO, ANYWAY. IT IS WRONG TO APPLY YOUR WILL TO OTHER MENA AND WOMEN, IN ORDER TO GET THEM TO DO WHAT YOU WISH DONE. IT IS AS FLAGRANTLY WRONG TO COERCE PEOPLE BY MENTAL POWER, AS IT IS TO COERCE THEM BY PHYSICAL POWER. IF COMPELLING PEOPLE BY PHYSICAL FORCE TO DO THINGS FOR YOU REDUCES THEM TO SLAVERY, COMPELLING THEM BY MENTAL MEANS ACCOMPLISHES EXACTLY THE SAMETHING, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS IN METHODS, IF TAKING THINGS FROM PEOPLE BY PHYSICAL FORCE IS ROBBERY, THEN TAKING THINGS BY MENTAL FORCE IS ROBBERY ALSO, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN PRINCIPLE.

            YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO USE YOUR WILL POWER UPON ANOTHER PERSON, EVEN "FOR HIS OR HER OWN GOOD" FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS FOR THAT PERSON'S GOOD. THE SECRET OF GETTING RICH DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO APPLY POWER OR FOCE TO ANY OTHER PERSON, IN ANY WAY WHATSOVER. THERE IS NOT THE SLIGHTES NECESSITY FOR DOING SO, INDEED, ANY ATTEMPT TO USE YOUR WILL UPON OTHERS ONLY TEND TO DEFEAT YOUR PURPOSE.

           YOU DO NOT NEED TO APPLY YOUR WILL TO THINGS, IN ODER TO COMPEL THEM TO COME TO YOU.

         THAT WOULD SIMPLY BE TRYING TO COERCE GOD, AND WOULD BE FOOLISH AND USELESS, AS WELL AS IRREVERENT.

         YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMPEL GOD TO GIVE YOU GOOD THINGS, ANY MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR WILL POWER TO MAKE THE SUN RISE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE YOUR WILL POWER TO CONQUER AN UNFRIENDLY DEITY OR TO MAKE STUBBORN AND REBELLIOUS FORCES DO YOUR BIDDING.

          SUBSTANCE IS FRIENDLY TO YOU, AND IS MORE ANXIOUS TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT THEN YOU AE TO GET IT. TO GET RICH,YOU NEED ONLY TO USE YOUR WILL POWER UPON YOURSELF. WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO THINK AND DO, THEN YOU MUST USE YOUR WILL TO COMPEL YOURSELF TO THINK AND DO THE RIGHT THINGS. THAT IS THE LEGITIMATE USE OF THE WILL IN GETTING WHAT YOU WANT - TO USE IT IN HOLDING YOURSELF TO THE RIGHT COURSE. USE YOUR WILL TO KEEP YOURSELF THINKING AND ACTING IN THE CERTAIN WAY.

          DO NOT TRY TO PROJECT YOUR WILL OR YOUR THOUGHTS, OR YOUR MIND OUT INTO SPACE, TO ACT ON THINGS OR PEOPLE.  KEEP YOUR MIND AT HOME, IT CAN ACCOMPLISH MORE THERE THAN ELSEWHERE. USE YOUR MIND TO FORM A MENTAL IMAGE OF WHAT YOU WANT, AND TO HOLD THAT VISION WITH FAITH AND PURPOSE, AND USE YOUR WILL TO KEEP YOUR MIND WORKING IN THE RIGHTWAY.

          THE MORE STEADY AND CONTINUOUS YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE, THE MORE RAPIDLY YOU WILL GET RICH, BECAUSE YOU WILL MAKE ONLY POSITIVE IMPRESSIONS UPON SUBSTANCE, AND YOU WILL NOT NEUTRALIZE OR OFFSET THEM BY NEGATIVE IMPRESSIONS. THE PICTURE OF YOUR DESIRES, HELD WITH FAITH AND PURPOSE, IS TAKEN UP BY THE DIVINE, AND PERMEATES IT TO GREAT DISTANCES THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. AT THIS IMPRESSION SPREADS, ALL THINGS ARE SET MOVING TOWARD ITS REALIZATION EVERY LIVING THING, EVERY INANIMATE THING, AND THE THINGS YET UNCREATED, ARE STIRRED TOWARD BRINGING INTO BEING THAT WHICH YOU WANT. ALL FORCE BEGINS TO BE EXERTED IN THAT DIRECTION ALL THINGS BEGIN TO MOVE TOWARD YOU. THE MINDS OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, ARE INFLUECED TOWARD DOING THE THINGS NECESSARY TO THE FULFILLING OF YOUR DESIRES, AND THEY WORK FOR YOU, INCONSCIOUSLY.

BUT YOU CAN CHECK ALL THIS BY STARTING A NEGATIVE IMPRESSION IN THE DIVINE SUBSTANCE. DOUBT OR UNBELIEF IS AS CERTAIN TO START A MOVEMENT AWAY FROM YOU, AS FAITH AND PURPOSE ARE TO START ONE TOWARD YOU. IT IS BY NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS THAT MOST PEOPLE WHO TRY TO MAKE USE OF "MENTAL SCIENCE"IN GETTING RICH MAKE THERI FAILURE. EVERY HOUR AND MOMENT YOU SPEND IN GIVING HEED TO DOUBTS AND FEARS, EVERY HOUR YOU SPEND IN WORRY, EVERY HOUR IN WHICH YOUR SOUL IS POSSESSED BY UNBELIEF SETS A CURRENT AWAY FROM YOU IN THE WHOLE DOMAIN OF INTELLIGENT SUBSTANCES. ALL THE PROMISES ARE UNTO THEM THAT BELIEVE, AND UNTO THEM ONLY.

SINCE BELIEF IS ALL-IMPORTANT, IT BEHOOVES YOU A GUARD YOUR THOUGHT. AS YOUR BELIEFS WILL BE SHAPED TO A VERY GREAT EXTENT BY THE THINGS YOU OBSERVE AND THINK ABOUT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU SHOULD COMMAND YOUR  ATTENTION. AND HERE THE WILL COMES INTO USE, FOR IT IS BY YOUR WILL THAT YOU DETERMINE UPON WHAT THINGS YOU ATTENTION SHALL BE FIXED. IF YOU WANT TO BECOME RICH, YOU MUST NOT MAKE A STUDY OF POVERTY. THINGS ARE NOT BROUGHT INTO BEING BY THINKING ABOUT THEIR OPPOSITES. HEALTH IS NEVER TO BE ATTAINED BY STUDYING DESEASE AND THINKING ABOUT DISEASE, RIGHTEOUSENSS IS NOT TO BE PROMOTED BY STUDYING POVERTY AND THINKING ABOUT POVERY. 

MEDICINE AS A SCIENCE OF DESEASE HAS INCREASED DISEASE, RELIGION AS A SCIENCE OF SIN HAS PROMOTED SIN, AND ECONOMICS AS A STUDY OF POVERTY WILL FILL THE WORLDWITH WRETCHEDNESS AND WANT. DO NOT TALK ABOUT POVERTY, DO NOT INVESTIGATE IT, OR CONCERN YOURSELF WITH IT. NEVER MIND WHAT ITS CAUSES ARE, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.WHAT CONCERNS YOU IS THE CURE.

GET RICH! THAT IS THE BEST WAY YOU CAN HELP THE POOR. IF YOU FILL YOUR MIND WITH PICTURE OF POVERTY, YOU CANNOT HOLD THE MENTAL IMAGE THAT IS TO MAKE YOU RICH. DO NOT READ  BOOKS OR PAPERS THAT GIVES CIRCUMSTANTIAL ACCOUTS OF THE WRETCHEDNESS OF THE TENEMENT DWELLERS, OF THE HORRORS OF CHILD LABOR, AND SO ON, DO NOT READ ANYTHING THAT FILLS YOUR MIND WITH GLOOMY IMAGES OF WANT AND SUFFERING.

YOU CANOT HELP THE POOR IN THE LEAST BY KNOWING ABOUT THESE THINGS, AND THE WIDESPREAD KNOWLEDGE OF THEM DOES NOT TREN AT ALL TO DO AWAY WITH POVETY. WHAT ENDS TO DO AWAY WITH POVERTY IS NOT THE GETTING OF PICTURES OF POVERTY INTO YOUR MIND, BUT GETTING PICTURES OF WELATH INTO THE INDS OF THE POOR. YOU ARE NOT DESERTING THE POOR  IN THEIR MISERY WHEN YOU REFUSE TO ALLOW YOUR MIND TO BE FILLED WITH PICTURES OF THAT MISERY. 

POVERTY CAN BE AWAY WITH, NOT BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF WELL TO DO PEOPLE WHO THINK ABOUT POVERTY, BUT BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF POOR PEOPLE WHO PURPOSE WITH FAITH TO GET RICH. THE POOR DO NOT NEED CHARTY, THEY NEED INSPIRATION. CLARITY ONLY SENDS THEM A LOAF OF BREAD TO KEEP THEM ALIVE IN THEIR WRETCHEDNESS, OR GIVES THEM AN ENTERTAINMENT TO MAKE THEM FORGET FOR AN HOUR OR TWO, BUT INSPIRATION WILL CAUSE THEM TO RISE OUT OF THEIR MISERY. IF YOU WANT TO HELP THE POOR, DEMONSTRATE TO THEM THAT THEY CAN BECOME RICH, PROVE IT BY GETTING RICH YOURSELF.

THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH BECOME RICH BY CREATION, NOT BY COMPETITION. THOSE WHO BECOME RICH BY COMPETITION THROW DOWN BEHIND THEM THE LADDER BY WHICH THEY RISE, AND KEEP OTHERS DOWN, BUT THOSE WHO GET RICH BY CREATION OPEN A WAY FOR THOUSANDS TO FOLLOW THEM AND INSPIRE THEM TO DO SO.

YOU ARE NOT SHOWING HARDNESS OF HEART OR AN UNFEELING DISPOSITION WHEN YOU REFUSE TO PITY POVERTY, SEE POVERTY, READ ABOUT POVERTY, OR THINK OR TALK ABOUT IT, OR TO LISTEN TO THOSE WHO DO TALK ABOUT IT. USE YOUR WILL POWER TO KEEP YOUR MIND OFF THE SUBJECT OF POVERTY, AND TO KEEP IT FIXED WITH FAITH AND PRUPOSE ON THE VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT.

SEARCH YOUR RIGHT BUSINESS

                                      GETTING INTO THE RIGHT BUSINESS

               SUCCESS, IN ANY PARTICULAR BUSINESS, DEPENDS FOR ONE THING UPON YOUR POSSESSING IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE THE FACULTIES REQUIRED IN THAT BUSINESS.

            WITHOUT GOOD MUSICAL FACULTY NO ONE SUCCEED AS A TEACHER OF MUSIC, WITHOUT WELL-DEVELOPED MECHANICAL FACULTIES NO ONE CAN ACHIEVE GREAT SUCCESS IN ANY OF THE MACHANICAL TRADERS, WITHOUT TACT COMMERCIAL FACULTIES NO ONE CAN SUCCEED IN MERCANTILE PURSUIT. BUT TO POSSESS IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE THE FACULTIES REQUIRED IN YOUR PARTICULAR VOCATION DOES NOT INSURE GETTING RICH, THER ARE MUSICIANS WHO HAVE REMARKABLE TALENT, AND WHO YET REMAIN POOR, THERE ARE BLACKSMITHS, CARPENTERS, AND SO ONE WHO HAVE EXCELLENT MACHANICAL ABILITY, BUT WHO DO NOT GET RICH, AND THERE ARE MERCHANTS WITH GOOD FACULTIES FOR DEALING WITH MEN WHO NEVERTHELESS FAIL.

           THE DIFFERENT FACULTIES ARE TOOLS. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE GOOD TOOLS, BUT IT IS ALSO ESSENTIAL THAT THE TOOLS SHOULD BE USED IN THE RIGHT WAY. ONE CARPENTER CAN TAKE A SHARP SAW, A SQUARE, A GOOD PLANE, AND SO ON, AND BUILD A HANDSOME ARTICLE OF FURNITURE, ANOTHER CARPENTER CAN TAKE THE SAME TOOLS AND SET TO WORK TO DUPLICATE THE ARTICLE, BUT THE PRODUCTION WILL BE A  BOTCH. THAT CARPENTER DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE GOOD TOOLS IN A SUCCESSFUL WAY.

            THE VARIOUS FACULTIES OF YOUR MIND ARE THE TOOLS WITH WHICH YOU MUST DO THE WORK THAT IS TO MAKE YOU RICH. IT WILL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO SUCCEED IF YOU GET INTO A BUSINESS FOR WHICH YOU ARE WELL EQUIPPED WITH MENTAL TOOLS.

            GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU WILL DO BEST IN THAT BUSINESS WHICH WILL USE YOUR STRONGEST FACULTIES, THE ONE FOR WHICH YOU ARE NATURALLY "BEST FITTED". BUT THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO THIS STATEMENT, ALSO. WE NEVER SHOULD REGARD OUR VOCATION AS BEING IRREVOCABLY FIXED BY THE TENDENCIES WITH WHICH WE WERE BORN.

             YOU CAN GET RICH IN ANY BUSINESS. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TALENT, YOU CAN DEVELOP THAT TALENT. IT MERELY MEANS THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE YOUR TOOLS AS YOU GO ALONG, INSTEAD OF CONFINING YOURSELF TO THE USE OF THOSE WITH WHICH YOU WERE BORN. IT WILL BE EASIER FOR YOU TO SUCCEED IN A VOCATION FOR WHICH YOU ALREADY HAVE THE TALENTS IN A WELL-DEVELOPED STATE, BUT YOU CAN SUCCEED IN ANY VOCATION. YOU CAN DEVELOP ANY RUDIMENTARY TALENT, AND THERE IS NO TALENT OF WHICH YOU HAVE NOT AT LEAST THE RUDIEMENT.

               YOU WILL GET RICH MOST EASILY IN POINT OF EFFORT, IF YOU DO THAT FOR WHICH YOU ARE BEST FITTED, BUT YOU WILL GET RICH OST SATISFACTORILY IF YOU DO THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO DO.

             DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS LIFE, AND THERE IS NO REAL SATISFACTION IN LIVING IF WE ARE COMPELLED TO BE FOREVER DOING SOMTHING THAT WE DO NOT LIKE TO DO, AND CAN NEVER DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND IT IS CERTAIN THAT YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. THE DESIRE TO DO IT IS PROOF THAT YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU THE POWER THAT CAN DO IT.

                                            DESIRE IS A MANIFESTATION OF POWER.

 

                  THE DESIRE TO PLAY MUSIC IS THE POWER THAT CAN PLAY MUSIC SEEKING EXPRESSION AND DEVELOPMENT, THE DESIRE TO INVENT MECHANICAL DEVICES IS THE MECHANICAL TALENT SEEKING EXPRESSION AND DEVELOPMENT.

              WHERE THERE IS NO POWER, EITHER DEVELOPED OR UNDEVELOPED, TO DO A THING, THERE IS NEVER ANY DESIRE TO DO THAT THING. WHERE THER IS STRONG DESIRE TO DO A THING, IT IS CERTAIN PROOF THAT THE POWER TO DO IT IS STRONG AND ONLY REQUIRES DEVELOPING AND APPLYING IT IN THE RIGHT WAY.

          ALL THINGS ELSE BEING EQUAL, IT IS BEST TO SELECT THE BUSINESS FOR WHICH YOU HAVE TO THE BEST DEVELOPET TALENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE A STRONG DESIRE  TO ENGAGE IN ANY PARTICULAR LINE OF WORK, YOU SHOULD SELECT THAT WORK AS THE ULTIMATE END AT WHICH YOU AIM.

                YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, AND IT IS YOUR RIGHT AND PRIVILEGE TO FOLLOW THE BUSINESS OR AVOCATION THAT WILL BE MOST CONGENIAL AND PLEASANT.

             YOU ARE NOT BLIGED TO DO WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO, AND SHOULD NOT DO IT EXCEPT AS A MEANS TO BRING YOU TO THE DOING OF THE THINGYOU WANT TO DO .

           IF THER ARE PAST MISTAKE WHOSE CONSEQUENCES HAVE PLACED YOU IN AN UNDESIRABLE BUSINESS OR ENVIRONMENT, YOU MAY BE OBLIGED FOR SOME TIME TO DO WHAT YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO. HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THE DOING OF IT PLEASANT BY KNOWING THAT IT IS MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO COME TO THE DOING OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

          

IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT VOCATION, DO NOT ACT TOO, HASTILY IN TRYIG TO GET INTO ANOTHER ONE. THE BEST WAY, GENERALLY, A CHANGE BUSINESS OR ENVIRONMENT IS BY GROWTH. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO MAKE A SUDDEN AND RADICAL CHANGE IF THE OPPORTUNITY IS PRESENTED, AND YOU FEEL AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION THAT IT IS THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY, BUT NEVER TAKE SUDDEN OR RADICAL ACTION WHEN YOU AE IN DOUBT AS TO THE WISDOM OF DOING SO.

 

THERE IS NEVER ANY HURRY ON THE CREATIVE PLANE, AND THERE IS NO LACK OF OPPORTUNITY.

WHEN YOU GET OUT OF THE COMPETITIVE MIND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEVER NEED TO ACT HASILY. NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO BEAT YOU TO THE THING YOU WANT TO DO, THERE IS ENOUGHT FOR ALL. IF ONE SPACE IS TAKEN, ANOTHER  AND A BETTER ONE WILL BE OPENED FOR YOU A LITTLE FARTHER ON, THER IS PLENTY OF TIME. WHEN YOU ARE IN DOUBT, WAIT. FALL BACK ON THE CONTEMPLATION OF YOUR VISION AND INCREASE YOUR FAITH, AND PURPOSE, AND BY ALL MEAN, IN TIME OF DOUBT AND INDECISION, CULTIVATE GRATITUDE.

               A DAY OR TWO SPENT IN CONTEMPLATING THE VISION OF WHAT YOU WANT, AND IN EARNEST THANKGIVING THAT YOU ARE GETTING IT, WILL BRING YOUR MIND INTO SUCH CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SUPREME THAT YOU WILL MAKE TO MISTAKE WHEN YOU DO ACT.

              THERE IS A MIND THAT KNOWS ALL THERE IS TO KNOW, AND YOU CAN COME INTO CLOSE INITY WITH THIS MIND BY FAITH AND THE PURPOSE TO ADVANCE IN LIFE, IF YOU HAVE DEEP GRATITUDE.

             MISTAKES COME FROM ACTING HASTILY, OR FROM ACTING IN FEAR OR DOUBT, OR IN FORGETFULNESS OF THE RIGHT MOTIVE, WHICH IS MORE LIFE TO ALL, AND LESS TO NONE.

          AS YOU GO ON IN THE CERTAIN WAY, OPPORTUNITIES WILL COME TO YOU IN INCREASING NUMBER, AND YOU WILL NEED TO BE VERY STEADY IN YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE, AND TO KEEP IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH GOD BY REVERENT GRATITUDE.

           DO ALL THAT YOU DO IN A PERFECT MANNER EVERY DAY, BUT DO IT WITHOUT HASTE, WORRY, OR FEAR, GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN, BUT NEVER HURRY.

           REMEMBER THAT IN THE MOMENT YOU BEGIN TO HURRY YOU CEASE TO BE A CREATOR AND BECOME A COMPETITOR, YOU DROP BACK UPON THE OLD PLACE AGAIN.

        WHENEVER YOU FIND YOURSELF HURRYING, CALL A HALT, FIX YOUR ATTENTION ON THE MENTAL IMAGE OF THE THING YOU  WANT, AND BEGIN TO GIVE THANKS THAT YOU ARE GETTING IT. THE EXERCISE OF GRATITUDE WILL NEVER FAIL TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH AND RENEW YOUR PURPOSE.

HAPPY LIFE

                                                 FEEL HAPPY😇😇😇

                                                                          ❤❤❤❤

                   WE LIVE IN A TIME WHEN THINGS CHANGE AT A PACE MUCH FASTER THAN WE CAN IMAGINE. ALL ALONG,  WE THOUGHT IF WE MANAGE TO HAVE A GOOD HOUSE, A NICE AUTOMOBILE, PLENTY OF MONEY TO ENJOY A COMFORTABLE LIFESTYLE, AN UNDERSTANDING AND LOVING PARTNER, A NICE FAMILY, AND REGULAR VACATIONS, WE ARE DONE, EVERYTHING OVER AND BEYOND WILL BE A BONUS. GUESS WHAT? OUR NEEDS ARE NEVER - ENDING AND RIGHTFULLY SO - IT SHOULD NOT END OR WE WILL HAVE NO GOAL TO PURSUE.

              IN THE PAST, WE WERE HAPPY WITH A FIVE HUNDREDSQUARE-FEET HOUSE FOR A FAMILY OF SEVEN. TODAY, EVEN A ONE THOUSAND - FIVE HUNDRED-SQUARE-FEET HOURSE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR. ONECE, A NICE TELEVISION COUND SURVIVE FOR A DECADE, AND TODAY, EVEN THREE FLAT - SCREEN TELEVISIONS ARE NOT ADEQUATE DESPITE BEING CHANGED EVERY FEW YEARS. SUCH EXAMPLES ARE NUMEROUS. LET'S NOT FORGET THE EVERCHANGING MOBILE PHONE MODELS-OUR LIFE COMES TO A STANDSTILL IF WE WITHOUT ONE FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR.

            SURE, IT IS A LAW OF NATURE - TODAY IS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, AND TOMARROW WILL BE BETTER THAN TODY. WE ARE LIVING A BETTER LIFE THAN THE PREVIOUS GENERATION, AND THE NEXT GENERATION WILL LIVE AN EVE BETTER ONE. WE ARE LIVING IN THE INFORMATION AGE, AND THE YOUNGER GENERATION IS BECOMING SMARTER BY THE DAY. YOU MAY ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - IT IS THE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD.

                           TODAY IS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY, AND TOMARROW WILL 

                            BE BETTER THAN TODAY.

❤

                                                                                 👀

                 THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH-IN OTHER WORDS, ARE YOU CONTENT WHILE STRIVING TO GET MORE ? ARE YOU SMELLING THE ROSES ON YOUR PATH WHILE CHASING YOU DREAM OF A BETTER TOMARROW? OR, ARE YOU CONSTANTLY TRAPPED UNDER FEELINGS OF INFERIORITY, ANXIETY, RESTLESSNESS, INSECURITY, AND INADEQUACY? IN SIMPLE TERMS, ARE YOU LOSING YOUR HAPPINESS?

             BE TRUE OF YOURSELF - STRIVE TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS, SET HIGHER GOALS, GO AFTER THEM PASSIONATELY, AND DO NOT TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER. DO ALL OF THESE AND MORE! AFTER ALL, WE ARE DESIGNED TO GROW. DON'T CONFUSE COMPLACENCY WITH BEING CONTENT. YOU CAN CONTINUE TO FEEL CONTENT WHILE STILL WORKING TOWARDS YOUR GOALS. WHEN YOU BECOME COMPLACENT HOWEVER, YOU END UP STAGNATING IN THE SAME PLACE WITH NO GROWTH AT ALL.

            

                      DON'T CONFUSE COMPLACENCY WITH BEING CONTENT

                    IF YOU SO NOT LEARN TO BE CONTENT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE MANY THINGS IN LIFE AND STILL BE UNHAPPY AS THAT BECOMES YOUR SECOND NATURE.  IF WAS NOT EASY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THIS THROUGHOUT MY LIFE. MY WIFE COULD UNDERSTAND ME MUCH BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE COULD.

                SHE MONITORED ME CLOSELY AND TOLD ME TO WORK ON MY STATE OF MIND. SHE HAD NOTICED I WAS GETTING ANXIOUS ABOUT ACHIEVING MY GOALS. SHE ALSO TOLE ME THAT WITH SUCH A STATE OF MIND, EVEN IF I DID ACHIEVE MY GOALS AND HAD PLENTY OF MONEY, I WOULD NOT BE HAPPY AND AT PEACE WITH MYSELF. BEING THE KIND OF PERSON. I AM, I DID NOT BUT INTO THIS ARGUMENT AND CONTINUED IN THAT RESTLESS STATE OF YEARS.

                   HOWEVER, I WAS ALWAYS WORKING ON MYSELF AND WILLING TO LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES - THANKS TO MY HABIT OF READING SELF - HELP BOOKS FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS. EACH OF THOSE GREAT AUTHORS HAS HELPED ME GROW INCH MY INCH. I STARTED REALISING THAT I COULD NOT PUT MY HAPPINESS ON HOLD, THINKING THAT I CAN BE HAPPY ONCE I HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY, RETIRE, BE FREE OF MY JOB, AND BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER I WANTED THEN.

                 WHAT A FOOLISH THOUGHT! BUT, YES, I LIVED LIKE THAT FOR MANY YEARS, AND I WANT TO LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT JUST MY PERSONAL EXPERIECE AND AUTHORS WHO HAVE CHANGED THOUSANDS OF LIVES. I HAVE LISTED SOME OF THE BOOKS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO TRANSFORMING MY LIFE AT THE END OF THIS BOOK. I URGUE YOU TO READ THEM AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE.

             PRACTICE THA BELOW MENTIONED GUIDELINES, WHICH ARE PROVEN AND TIME-TESTED SPIRITUAL LAWS OF WHOLESOME SUCCESS.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

1. THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE. LIKE HOW YOU NEED FOOD AND A BATH EVERY DAY, YOUR SOUL NEEDS CLEANSING. WHAT COULD BE A BETTER WAY THAN TO THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE AND LET HIM KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FAITH IN HIM FOR YOU TO SUCCEED AND ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON, AND YOU DREAMS ARE IMPLANTED IN YOU BY HIM - SO, RELAX AND SURRENDER YOURSELF TO THE ALMIGHTY WHO BROUGHT YOU INTO THIS WORLD.

2. WHILE YOU MAY OR MAY NOT YET BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAM/GOALS, WRITE THEM DOWN AND VERBALISE AS IF YOU HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED IT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PARTNER, SAY. "THAN YOU, GOD, FOR BRINGING THE RIGHT PARTNER INTO MY LIFE", ALOUD. IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED IN YOUR BUSINESS, SAY "THANK YOU, GOD FOR BRINGING THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF ME AND FOR MAKING ME DO THE RIGHT THINGS IN ORDE TO SUCCEDD". THERE ARE SOME GREAT BOOK ON THE POWER OF SELF-TALK- YOU CAN FIND AND READ IT.

3. WATCH YOUR WORDS OF DISBELIEF - FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY WANT TO SAY POSITIVE THINGS, DEEP DOWN YOU MAY NOT QUITE BELIEVE OR FEEL IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT IS IKAY TO FEEL THAT WAY - JUST LET IT REMAIN THERE, LET IT NOT COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. ONCE IT COMES OUT, YOU ARE INVITING THINGS YOU DON'T WANT INTO YOUR LIFE.

4.  LIVE IN THE MOMENT - IF YOU WANT TO FEEL GOOD AND BE HAPPY, FEEL SO RIGHT NOW - DON'T POSTPONE YOUR HAPPINESS. THIS IS KEY TO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAPPENS IN YOUR LIFE. JUST LIVE FOR THE MOMENT, AND AS YOU PRATICE THIS, IT WILL BECOME YOUR HABIT, MOREOVER, DID YOU KNOW THAT UNIVERSAL POWERS ARE ATTRACTED TO HAPPY PEOPLE EASILY?

5. GET RID OF YOUR EGO AT ONCE- THIS SINGLE ELEMENT CAN RELIVE YOU OF MOST OF YOUR BURDEN. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF SIMPLE EXAMPLES OF YOUR EGO AT PLAY. IF YOU ARE SHY TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC, IT IS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TO LAUGH AT YOU, WHICH HURTS YOUR EGO. OVERCOME THAT, AND YOU WILL MAKE GREAT STRIDES. ANOTHER EXAPLE IS THE TEMPTATION TO INTERRUPT SOMEONE WHILE HE/SHE IS TALKING BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR POINT TO BE HEARD FIRST OR BECAUSE YOU DISAPPROVE OF THE PERSON WHO IS TALKING. THUS. YOUR EGO COULD BE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO YOUR GROWTH.

6. GET OUT OF THE IF-THEN SYSDROME, - IF I GET THE RIGHT PARTNER, THEN I WILL BE HAPPY, IF RETIRE, THEN I WILL  BE HAPPY, IF MY INCOME DOUBLES, THEN I WILL BE HAPPY, IF I WIN THIS MATCH, THEN I WILL BE HAPPY, ISTEAD SAY, "THANK YOU GOD,"! I AM PUTTING MY BEST FOOT FORWARD WITH YOUR BLESSINGS, AND I KNEW YOU WILL LEAD ME TOWARDS WHAT IS BEST FOR ME.

7. BE HAPPY FOR OTHERS- IF SOMEONE SUCCEEDS, BE HAPPY FOR THEM AND SAY, "THAN GOD IT IS RANING BLESSINGS, MY TURN WILL SURELY COME NEXT."

8. DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY, LEARN TO LAUGH AT YOUR MISTAKES. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO LEARN TO KEEP QUIET WHEN SOMEONE ID MAD AT YOU.

9. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS- YOU ARE WHO ARE ARE, AND YOU ARE BEST THE WAY YOU ARE. THIS IS BECAUSE GOD HAS MADE YOU, AND HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH YOU!

10.  STOP BEING JEDGEMENTAL- JUDGE NOBODY, AND JUDGE NOTHING. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYBODY ELSE- IT IS OT UNDER YOUR JURISDICTION. PEOPLED ARE PEOPLE, AND EACH ONE HAS HIS/HER OWN JOURNEY. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE WAY THEY TREAT YOU OR THE WAY THEY BEHAVE, LEARN TO IGNORE IT. THINK ABOUT IT IN THIS WAY-YOU HAVE MANY CHARACTERISTICS THAT MAY NOT BE LIKED BY MANY, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THEY STARTED JUDGING YOU?
