True-Happiness

Success in its broadest meaning is not limited to just the attainment of monetary and material possessions; it is also being abundant in countless other ways in your life and nature. The universe craves to continuously manifest and express itself, and is always expanding, this power likewise expresses its self by demonstrating success, to develop, to grow and become bigger and stronger.

Many realize this longing; they recognize this inclination for growth has been repressed in them, because of negative thinking, unconstructive programming, and not having enough faith in their abilities and themselves. Every individual has dual natures: One wants the self to move forward while the other feels like pulling back, or staying the same. Both natures tries to hold and to be in control, thus the one nature that one concentrates and cultivates determines what one is at the end.

It is your “will” that resolves the issue; an individual by one utmost attempt of the “will” can change their whole vocation and accomplish miracles. Which is why having an open mind is very significant.

A person who has a closed mind accepts a concept without much concern for evidence. They might have even reached their concept without any supporting evidence. As a result, when one is presented with evidence that is contradicting to their concept, they immediately dismiss it without any consideration.

Whereas a person who has an open mind before reaching any conclusion, will consider first the many evidences approving or disapproving the many interpretations of the concept. They do not just gather information, their concern encourages them to weigh what they have learned and work towards reaching a decision or conclusion based on facts and evidences.

An open mind allows one to magnetize opportunities, to insist and continue following opportunities, regardless of how small they appear. An open mind is open to all opportunities and possibilities, big or small.

A closed mind however, is stubborn, demanding things without any delay and wanting it as exactly as the mind perceived it to be, and is not willing to accept or try something else, when that original want can not be accomplished or reached.

When a person closes their mind and becomes stubborn, this in essence tells his higher self, including the powers of the universe that one is not eager to mature and encounter new things, so then there will be no progress and no transformation and one’s life will never have a chance to improve.

Whatever the mind can envision, the mind can create. What the mind sees believes feels and thinks are all conveyed to the subconscious mind that then works with the universal and establishes your reality bringing it into your conscious mind.

Bear in mind though, that it is not sufficient to merely imagine and hope it materializes. Having the power to imagine means also having the power and the capability to work on it to achieve it. You can achieve anything when you open up your mind to success and get rid of limiting thoughts.

As to how limited your life may be and what the circumstances you have at the moment does not really matter, because when you decide to change your attitudes and thoughts, and begin to think without limitations, your life’s direction will begin to change. Focus on possibilities, rather than limitations and expand your thoughts to what it is that you believe yourself to be.

Continuously display images of your goal, of which you desire to become, and things that you want to accomplish. Read magazines and books containing stories and pictures of lives similar to that that you wish to emulate. Constantly read materials packed with examples and ideas of women and men who had set goals, overcome hardships, conquered misfortunes and accomplished what they aimed for in the end.

Always affirm to yourself. In each undertaking, take the time to focus, and set a clear mental image of the outcome. Then repeatedly say and claim that you have already achieved it. Nourish your mind with positive thoughts; repeat your affirmations before sleeping, after waking up, at lunch break, anytime. Do not give negative thoughts a chance to enter into your mind. When a negative thought pops up, dismiss it and think of your dream instead.

Thoughts hold great power. Be conscious of the thoughts that come into your mind; let the positive in, dismiss the negative. Open up your mind to new possibilities and never be afraid to try.

Yesterday while my daughter and I were sitting outside I was going to teach her something but instead she taught me. She surprised me with her intelligence and comprehension, and her wisdom for such a young age. OK, I’m done bragging about her, but the subject we discussed was profound. We discussed silence, hearing the silence and the art of silence. It surprised me how much she knew, and I was reminded that even the teacher can learn from the student. So enough already let’s get to it then…

All people have the chance to experience and undergo a much greater life; it is a conscious choice. However, most people do not realize that they have that choice. Abundance, peace and happiness are one’s inheritance that is only achieved when one practices centering and quieting the mind. Not simple to achieve, especially in our very noisy society, but it can be done.

The mind is constantly noisy, and silence is a stranger, especially among the young. As a person grows in their confidence and wisdom less needs to be said, yet you see it all the time where a group of young people will constantly chatter and older people are content to maintain quiet. You can tell a couple that is comfortable with each other when they are sitting next to each other and not saying a word.

We are all scared of the silence as we do not know what it means or why it exists. We feel that the silence is a void that must be filled either with our own chatter between people, or if by ourselves then we invade the silence by our thoughts, or with some form of noise that we create, like music. We block the silence both from our ignorance and our immaturity. The chattering mind is never quite, and through the mouth, it expresses itself.

The silence is where our source is, this is where we will find our center, our inner strength, and wisdom. You will find that at such time when the streams of thoughts are blocked off, and noise is ceased; a different section of the mind with the capability of transforming knowledge into virtually usable concepts becomes active. The moment that busy thoughts recede, silence is allowed to work and the areas deep in the mind begin to function. Your present thoughts and knowledge are transformed into constructive ideas. So in simple terms noise and intellectual thinking should all stop in order that silence can enter the mind.

Meditation provides an entryway for the silence, so as to calm the mind and retrieve answers beyond the problem. Where the body requires regular exercise to retain its strength, so does the mind needs constant practice to quiet down its unpredictable feelings and thoughts. Silencing the mind through meditation permits one to bond and attach with one’s central being so that one might experience the fulfillment and peace within.

Curiosity is what stimulates the thoughts. A need to comprehend a new event that engrosses one’s thought. Until such time that mind fully comprehends, it will not stop thinking. Each time that a new thought enters the mind, it immediately gets lively and active; as thinking is the minds chief activity. In contrast, meditation entails silencing the mind in order that one can obtain innermost and deep guidance.

To silence the mind one needs the courage to release and set free your past, to forgive the hurt, for to not forgive your hurt traps one in the past. We live in the present always working for the future, it is through our understanding that the future is being built, we can not build without using the silence. To silence the mind you also need the courage to release the future, your expectations and fears and to only live in the present, which is the only period and phase of one’s life that one can exist. To trap your self in the past by reliving memories, or to daydream a wonderful future without actually working for it are a waste of life.

It is only by consciously existing in the present that one is able to let go of all connections to our karma. Success and failure no longer define your identity, which so many people struggle to attain. It is when one connects to the quietness underneath one’s mental commotion that one finds inner peace. It is there alone that the present exists, and if that one can forgive, then you can live in abundance because you have left all the negative baggage behind.

We all unconsciously know without any doubt, spiritually, that understanding and knowledge lies inside our heart, yet we search for it by way of thinking, while the true way of finding it is through the silence.

Restlessness is handled by summoning peace, just like relaxation will be found when one is at rest. When one finds thinking as enjoyable, one should contrast it with silence; thinking will pale in comparison. Although on certain occasions thinking generates cleverness, silence can grant the complete capacity that of which cleverness is only a portion. One seeking capacity from thoughts or thinking should instead turn to the silence and gain a more creative capacity.

Silence will be understood and accomplished when one encounters with the divine that is inside one’s inner being. If the Divine makes contact with the mind, it will feel it and distinguish it as “light”. The emotions will be felt as love; sensations will be felt as delight. Happiness then increases with regular meditation. Love, understanding, tolerance, inner strength and bravery also increase. The ability to concentrate is sharpened, so that one’s mind will be stronger and in control. So that one’s capacity to enjoy the present moment is cultivated.

The different sections of one’s being which we struggle with are our thinking mind that feels pain and suffering, and the silence that feels love, light, power and delight. It is through this silent state of that mind that one attracts positive forces and focuses your power.

So actively seek the quiet solitude, eagerly accept the silence, and discover what being now truly feels like.

This knowledge is as simple as possible. Every person who sees this information should be able to take and use it, easily and quickly.
Here then, is a simple explanation of the power of your creative energy.

You must know what you want in order to get what you want, it seems so obvious, yet this most basic step is missed by the bulk of the populace of this planet. Put as simply as possible; you must know what you want, and be as specific as possible. This is the magic step of creative energy that every one seems to miss.

So, do you know what you want? Think to your self, what is it that you want to be, to do, to become, to accomplish, and to own, and so on. Now here is the part that so many people just will not do: Write down everything that you want for your life. Without this list you are as a leaf drifting in the wind. You must posses this list, you must create this list, and it is your life on paper; so make it now. Go on then, get writing even if it is only a single thing, write it down, you can think of more things later but write down what you want right now.

The next step is to pick one thing on your list that you know you could accomplish if you dedicated some energy to it. Pick that one and forget about the rest. This is a goal in the creation of your life, choose it and go for it. Don't waste your creative energy trying to create a million and one things. Pick one and go with it. Just as the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so does the journey of your life begin with a single goal.

Now for a bit about doing something, sitting on the couch daydreaming about your future will not bring you what you want. Waiting for life to do the work for you won't bring you what you want. The only way to get what you want is to decide, with clarity and focus, exactly what you want to create.

Now you must again put pen to paper and write down this one goal, put it on sticky notes, or small scraps of paper and put them where you will see them, the bathroom mirror, the front door near the knob, the fridge handle, the cupboard above the sink, and so on. This will help you to remember and to focus on the goal.

Soon you will see some situations arise that will make it easy to accomplish that goal; an opportunity will come to you enabling you to accomplish that goal. Fair warning here; most opportunity comes knocking wearing coveralls and smelling like work. So when it does arrive, be ready to do what you need to do to accomplish your goal.

So begin with a single goal, that you have not accomplished, write down as specifically and exactly what it is you will create. Then after it is completed, move on to the next goal. It may be difficult at first, but like all things the more you practice the better you get, accomplish one then another and another, soon you will see your self in a new life, the one you desire.

There are certain actions in life that reap their own reward; they are fear, worry, selfishness, that results in a hard fisted, grabbing, and holding disposition. These people become carping, fault-finding, and nagging; they have a slavery of thought and action to the thinking or to the opinions of others, a lacking of consideration, sympathy, and charity for the thoughts, motives, and acts of others. They suffer from a lack of knowledge of the powerful and inevitable building qualities of thought, as well as a lack of faith in the eternal goodness and love and power of the source of our being. All this combines, in time, to make the life of those in whom they find expression; barren, cheerless, unwelcome, unattractive or even repellent even to its self as well as to others.


While their opposites, on the contrary, combine, and seem to be helped on by heavenly agencies, to bring about that cheerful, hopeful, helpful, beautified, and hallowed life that is so welcome and so attractive both to itself and to all with whom it comes in contact.


Both types of persons have qualities, and dispositions, that externalize them selves in the voice, in the peculiarly different ways in which they mark the face, in the stoop or lack of stoop in the form, in the healthy or unhealthy conditions of the mind and body, and their susceptibility to disorders and weaknesses of various kinds. More often than not we can tell a lot about a person just by the way they act and carry themselves.


It is therefore not a bad thing for every person to get a little philosophy into their life. This philosophy will be most helpful as one travels in life; it will be a source of great comfort, as well as of strength, in trying times and in later life.
We may have make sport of the one who has their little philosophy, but unless we have something similar the time will come when the very lack of it will disparage us. It may be, that the one who has their own philosophy is not always so successful in their affairs when it comes to money or business success, but it supplies many times a very real something in life that the one of money or business success is starving for, though they don’t know what the real lack is, and don’t have enough money in all the world to buy it.


It is a good thing to find our center early, and if not early then late; but, late or early, the thing to do is to find it. While we are in life the one essential thing is to play our part bravely and well and to keep our active interest in all its varying phases, the same as it is wise to be able to adapt ourselves to life’s ever changing conditions. Change is good for the soul, for example it is by the wind blowing over the water keeping it in constant motion, or by its continual onward movement, that the water in pool or stream is kept sweet and clear, for otherwise it would become stagnant and poisonous. So it is with us, ever moving, and with moving; growth and learning, keeping us pleasant and refreshing.


If we are attractive or unattractive to ourselves and others the cause lies within; this is true of all ages, and it is a wise thing for us, young or old, to recognize it. It is well, all other things being equal; to adapt ourselves to those about us, but it is hardly fair for the old to think that all the adapting should be on the part of the young, or the younger to demand the older to change, with no reciprocation on their part. The principle of reciprocity must hold in all ages in life, and whatever the age, if we fail to observe it, it always results sooner or later in our own undoing.


We are all in Life's great play; be it comedy or tragedy, smiles or tears, sunshine or shadow, summer or winter, and in due time we play all the parts. We must take our part, whatever it may be, at any given time, always bravely and with a wholehearted appreciation of every opportunity, and an enthusiastic alertness at every turn as the play progresses. A good entrance and a good exit contribute strongly to the playing of a deservedly worthy role. We are not always able perhaps to choose just as we would the details of our entrance, but in the manner of our playing our part and with the gracefulness of our exit we can all determine for our selves how our life is portrayed.


This human life can be made indeed most glorious, however humble it may begin, or however humble it may remain or exalted it may become, according to conventional standards of judgment, and in this no man, no power can deny us what we truly desire to become or will to do.

We ask our selves the question every day; what are the conditions in our lives? This is the incorrect question, we should be asking of our self; how do we meet those conditions that we find? Then whatever those conditions are, we should be grateful that we are in those situations, for it is unwise and profitless to look upon them and complain. For even if they are conditions that are less than desirable, if we complain about them then we will bring depression, and depression will weaken and possibly even kill our spirit and that in turn will hinder the power that would bring into our lives an entirely new set of conditions.

There will come at various times into your life circumstances and conditions that you want to run from; conditions that cause humiliation and shame. However in the past, after sufficient time has passed, you are able to look back and see clearly the part that every experience had to play a part in your life. You see the lessons it was essential to learn; and the result is that now you would not drop a single one of these experiences from your life, humiliating and hard to bear as they were at the time; and here is the lesson: whatever conditions are in your life today even if they are not the easiest and most agreeable, take them as they come, without complaint.

Meet them in the wisest possible way; knowing that they are the best possible conditions that could be in your life, otherwise they would not be there; realizing the fact that, although you may not at the time see why they are in your life, and even though you may not see just what part they have to play, the time will come when you will see, and be grateful for every condition just as it came.

Everybody is so apt to think that their own conditions, trials, troubles, sorrows, or struggles, are greater than those of the rest of mankind, or possibly even greater than those of any one else in the world. We forget that each one has their own peculiar troubles to bear, or struggles in habits to overcome, and that this is the common lot of the human race. We are apt to make the mistake in this; in that we see and feel keenly our own adverse conditions, or characteristics to be overcome, while the problems of others we do not see so clearly, and we are prone to think that they are not equal to our own. What we must understand is that every one of has their own problems to work out.

Each individual must work out their own problems. Each person must grow the insight that will enable them to see what the causes are that have brought those conditions into their life. All of us must grow the strength that will enable us to face these conditions, and to set into operation forces that will bring about a different set of conditions.

We can be of assistance to one another by making suggestions, by sharing with one another the knowledge of certain higher laws and forces; laws and forces that will make it easier to do that which we should do. However the doing, must be done by and for ourselves. Therefore the way to get out of any conditioning we have got into, either knowingly or unconsciously is to take time to look the conditions squarely in the face, and to find the law that caused them, and when we have discovered the reason, the thing to do is not to rebel against it, not to resist it, but to go with it by working in harmony with it.

If we work in harmony with those laws, then they will work for our highest good, and this will take us where we desire. If we resist it, if we fail to work in harmony with it, it will eventually break us to pieces. The law is immutable in its workings. Go with it, and it brings all things our way; resist it, and it brings suffering, pain, loss, and desolation.

If at any time we think that our own lot is about the hardest there is, and if we are able to persuade ourselves that we can find no one whose lot is just a little harder than ours, then let us then study for a little while the problem, and after studying it, be grateful that the conditions in our life, are so favorable for us to learn from. Then set about with gusto and a firm resolve to actualize the conditions that we most desire.

Thought is basis of all success or failure, of all that is desirable or undesirable in human life. The type of thought we think both creates and draws conditions in to your life, conditions exactly the same in nature as is the thought that gives them form. Thoughts are force, and each creates of its kind, whether we realize it or not. The great law of the drawing power of the mind, which says that like creates like, and that like attracts like, is continually working in every human life, for it is one of the great immutable laws of the universe.

For one to take time to see clearly the things you would attain, and then to hold that idea steadily and continually in your mind, never allowing faith, positive thought forces, to give way to or to be neutralized by doubts or fears, is to develop inner strength. Then to set about doing each day what your hands find to do, never complaining, but spending the time that you would otherwise spend in complaint, instead focusing your thought forces upon the ideal that your mind has, will sooner or later bring about the full materialization of that life you think you deserve.

There are those who, when they begin to grasp the fact that there is a science of thought, in their early enthusiasm are not able to see results as quickly as they expect and are apt to think that there is not very much in that which of which we have spoken. They must remember, however, that in endeavoring to overcome an old habit by growing a new habit, everything cannot be done all at once.

Like any new skill, as we use it becomes easier to use, In the same degree that we attempt to use the thought forces do we continually become able to use them more effectively. Progress is slow at first, then more rapid as we proceed. Power grows by using it, or in other words, using brings a continually increasing power. This is governed by law the same as are all the things in our lives, and all the things in the universe about us. So it is in the use of thought forces; it is the constant duplication of the thought that grows the power of continually stronger thought and that finally brings manifestation.

Every moment of our lives we are forming habits. Some habits are of a desirable nature; some are not. Some, that we think are not so bad by themselves, become exceedingly bad in their cumulative effects, and cause us loss, pain and anguish. While if we would but think of their opposites those would bring us peace and joy, as well as a continually increasing power.

We have it within our power to determine what types of habits shall take form in our lives, "I will be what I will to be," can and should be said by every human soul. After this has been bravely and resolutely said, and fully inwardly realized, something yet remains. There is the great law underlying habit forming; there is a simple, natural, and thoroughly scientific method that all should know.

This law is known as the law of reflex action. It is similar to the reflex nerve system of the body, the law which says that whenever one does something, it is easier to do the same thing in the same way the next time, and still easier the next, and the next, and the next, until in time no effort is required, or no effort worth speaking of; but the opposite would require the effort.

Our mind carries with it the same power that perpetuates its own type of thought, the same as the body carries with it through the reflex nerve system, the power which perpetuates and makes continually easier repeated acts. So a simple effort to control one's thoughts, a simple doing it once and then again, even if at first failure is the result, and even if for a time failure seems to be about the only result, this action will in time, sooner or later, bring you to the point of easy, and complete control.

Thought is the force underlying all action. Understand this simple concept: Your every act, your every conscious act, is preceded and caused by a thought. So it can be reasoned that your dominating thoughts determine your dominating actions. So it must be understood that if thought is always parent to our acts, habits, character, and life, then it is necessary that we know how to control our thoughts.

In the realm of our own minds we can and should have absolute control and if at any time we do not; then there is a method by which we can gain control. In order to get to the point, let us look at this for a moment: Each one of us can grow the power of determining, that is controlling our thought, the power of determining what types of thought you have and what types you will not entertain.

Never forget this fact; that every earnest effort along any line makes the end aimed at just a little easier for each succeeding effort. This is a case where even failure is success, for the failure is not in the effort, and every earnest effort adds an increment of power that will eventually accomplish the end aimed at. We can, then, gain the full and complete power of determining what type of thoughts we entertain.

So if you discover that you are entertaining wrong thought, then the thought must be banished from the mind the instant it enters; dalliance with it means failure and defeat, or a fight that will be indescribably fiercer than it would have been if the thought were ejected at the beginning. Like the example of the match; at the striking of the match, with only a little effort of the breath it can be easily extinguished, but if left to seek fuel it will impart a flame that is raging through the entire building, and will be almost impossible to conquer, causing great loss.

A thought can be put out of the mind easier and more successfully, not by dwelling upon it, not by attempting to put it out directly, but by throwing the mind on to some other object; by putting some other object of thought into the mind. For example if a wrong thought enters your consciousness simply say to your self the word “garbage” labeling that thought as worthless, then immediately turn your thought to something more desirable, or to the task at hand. This same course of action repeated will gradually grow the power of putting more readily out of mind the bad thoughts, and will gradually grow the power of putting into the mind those thoughts one desires.

The result will be that as time passes the bad thought will present itself less and less, and it can be put out of the mind more easily each succeeding time, until the time comes when it can be put out without difficulty, and eventually the thought will not enter the mind at all.

So follow these two simple steps: first, form one's ideals; and second, follow them continually, whatever may arise, wherever they may lead. Life is not for mere passing pleasure, but for the highest realization that one can attain to, the noblest quality that one can grow, and for the greatest service that one can render to mankind. In this we will find the highest pleasure, for in actuality this is the only real pleasure. If you would try to find it by any short cuts, you will inevitably find that your end state is always worse than the first; and you will never find real and lasting pleasure.

When you choose to undertake a task, whether it is for learning a new skill, or as simple as cleaning the attic, you must choose and resolve to finish what you have started. To start a task and to leave it unfinished will cause the result that is crying out for completion to haunt you.

How can you know if there is a little work ahead or a great deal? We cannot know; nor is it important to know. If you should take up the task merely because you think there is little to do, then you will certainly fail. The very fact that you would not venture upon the undertaking if you thought the task a difficult one is evidence that you do not have the qualifications necessary for the success. Unless you are filled with a longing to possess greater power to be used in the service of humanity, and fired with an enthusiasm that would hesitate at no difficulties, you have not yet reached the point in evolution where you await only the final steps that will make you a success.

However even the absence of the keen desire for spiritual and mental progress, which is the best evidence of the probability of success, should not deter you from entering into the systematic study of theosophy and devoting to it all the time and energy you can; nor should the thought that many years might pass without producing any very remarkable results lead you to conclude that the undertaking would not be a profitable one.

The time will come with each human being when you will step out of the great throng that drifts with the tide, and enter upon the course of conscious evolution, assisting nature instead of ignoring her beneficent plan; and since it is but a question of time the sooner a beginning is made the better, for the sooner will suffering cease.

There should be a word of warning about the folly of trying to reach spiritual illumination by artificial methods. For two reasons such methods should be avoided: One is that any powers thus gained can not be permanent, and the other is that they may be more or less dangerous. Many people have made physical wrecks of them selves or have become insane by some of these methods. Until you are firmly upon sound moral ground, you are much better off without any powers, the selfish use of which would lead to certain disaster.


There are those who advertise to quickly teach a skill, for a fee, as though spiritual powers could really be conferred instead of evolved! It is true that efforts toward the evolution of such powers may be enormously aided by teachers, but such instruction can not be bought. Those who teach this ancient wisdom select their own pupils from the morally fit, and tuition can be paid only in devotion to truth and service to humanity. Yes sometimes the teacher requires a sum, but it is usually a maintenance fee, but there is always more work than fees. That is the only road that leads to instruction worth having.

Now you ask “But how shall the pupil find the teacher?” you need not find the teacher, the teacher finds the pupil long before the pupil suspects that the teacher exists; and since it is the pupil who has the limited consciousness it is quite natural that it should be so. Thus it is inevitable that all who enter upon the way that leads to spiritual illumination must long remain ignorant of the fact that any teachers are interested in them or that anybody is giving the slightest attention to them.

So then the question arises “But what leads to the selection of the pupil?” there are many qualifications to consider, for example their earnestness, their unselfishness, their devotion, their spiritual aspirations, and so on. There is an old maxim to the effect that when the pupil is ready the teacher will appear.

Those masters have need of many more than are ready to be taught. Those who lead and enlighten watch eagerly for all who will qualify themselves to enter upon the upward way. Every human being gets exactly what they fit themselves to receive. You cannot possibly be overlooked. By your spiritual aspiration you light the lamp in the window of your soul, and to the watchers from the heights, that light against the background of the overwhelming materiality of our times appears as the sun in a cloudless sky. Other things come later but to realize the necessity for conscious evolution, to comprehend the method of soul development, to take full control of the mind and the physical body, to resolutely curb the grosser desires and to give free rein to the higher aspirations are the first infant steps in the self-development that leads to illumination.

Then we begin to discover that this very desire for greater spiritual power is generating a force that carries us forward and upward. We soon begin to observe actual progress. The brain becomes clearer, the intellect keener. Our sphere of influence grows wider, our friendships become warmer. Aspiration lifts us into a new and radiant life, and the wondrous powers of the soul begin to become a conscious possession. Then to this soul growth there is no limit.

You will go on and on in this life, it is not by the outward acquirement of facts that people become wise and great. It is by developing the soul from within until it illuminates the brain with that flood of light called genius. Then and when, through the strife and storm, we finally reach the tranquility of the inner peace we shall comprehend the great fact that life really is joy when lived in the possession of spiritual power and in perfect harmony with the laws of the universe.

With even these first steps of achievement you enter upon a higher and more satisfactory life than you have ever known. Literally you become a new person, gradually the old desires and impulses fade away and new and nobler aspirations take their place. Once you have learned obedience to law you will find that obedience was the road to conquest.

Once you have risen above the gross baseness of the corporal world, by the power of your conscious evolution; and, looking back upon what you were with neither regret nor apology, you will comprehend that your life is a journey, and to cease to evolve is to cease to exist.

When you begin on your journey of life and start working to improve the three essential qualifications; desire, will and intelligence, and to intensify your desire to possess powers for the helping of others, then you have finally found your true purpose in life.

One of the most important practices to strengthen the will to get such powers and to steadily improve the intellect is the daily practice of meditation. You should be giving most earnest attention to meditation, for it is through this practice that the most remarkable results may be produced in the transformation of your bodies, both the visible and invisible, through which the ego manifests itself in the physical world.

In the degree that your bodies are organized and made sensitive and responsive they cease to be limitations of your consciousness. You develop sensitiveness and responsiveness through meditation, together with proper attention to the purification of the physical and astral bodies; for purity and sensitiveness go together.

Meditation is a subject so very important to the aspirant that certain instructions should be used. The average person, used to the turbulent life of occidental civilization, will find it a difficult matter to control the mind, and to acquire the power to direct it as he desires, even with all the conditions in his favor. So there are only a few guidelines that you will learn here today.

The serene hours of morning are the most favorable of the whole day for meditation. Regular and persistent practice has a magic of its own and so the hour should be the same each morning. To be alone in surroundings as quiet as possible is another essential. The most desirable time for meditation is soon after awakening in the morning. Before turning the mind to any of the business affairs of the day sit calmly down and mediate upon any wholesome thought, like patience, courage or compassion, keeping the mind steadily upon the subject for at least five minutes. That means five minutes on only one thought, at first you will find many thoughts racing through your brain, but with daily consistent practice you will soon be able to think on only one thought for five minutes. When you have accomplished this great feat, you will soon begin to experience miraculous changes in your life.

Two very important things are being accomplished by meditation. First, we are getting control of the mind and learning to direct it where and how we choose; and, second, we are attracting and building into the bodies we possess certain grades of imponderable matter that will make thinking and acting along these lines easier and easier for us until they are established habits and we actually become in daily life patient, courageous and compassionate. Whatever qualities or virtues we desire to possess may be gained through the art of meditation and the effort to live up to the ideal dwelt upon daily by the mind.

While it is absolutely true that any human being can become that which they desire to be, you can literally raise your self to any ideal you are capable of conceiving. Take heed that you not suppose it can be done in a short time and by intermittent effort. We sometimes hear it said that all we need do is to realize that all power is within us, and then presto, we are the thing we would be! It is quite true that we must realize their existence before we can call the latent powers into expression; but the work of arousing the latent into the active is a process of growth, of actual evolutionary change. It is important to understand that overnight success takes years of actual effort.

Your physical body as it is now is not sensitive enough to respond to subtle vibrations. Its brain is not capable of receiving and registering the delicate vibrations sent outward by the ego, and the task of changing it so that it can do so is not a trifling or easy one. But every effort produces its effect and to the persistent and patient devotee the final result is certain. Understand that it is not a matter of miraculous accomplishment: It is a process of inner growth.

So it is time to decide, you must make up her mind to become what you will to be. While wistful thinking is a good way to start your desire, it is actual effort that will make your desire a reality.

The things needed for enlightenment namely force of desire, powered and directed by the will, must be supplemented by an alert mind. There is a popular notion that good motives are sufficient in themselves and that when one has the desire, plus the will to achieve, nothing more is needed but purity of purpose, unfortunately this is a misconception.

While it is true that devotion is the vital thing in spiritual growth; there are methods of development in which intellect is not at first made a chief factor and it can not be ignored. A good intellect, therefore, is a necessary part of the equation.

A very useful practice is to exercise the imagination; it is the art of creating mental pictures with no physical object present. The face of an absent friend can be called up in the mind and reproduced in every detail, or your childhood home can be recalled and the imagination made to reconstruct it. The house, the landscape, the hills, trees and roads, reproduced in the finest detail.

Repeated practice at “seeing mentally” is of the greatest value, while good motives play a most important part, indeed, they safeguard you on your upward progress. Without pure motives, without a large measure of unselfishness, the greatest dangers would encompass you. However good motives cannot take the place of good sense and these do not relieve you of the necessity of thinking.

You must develop judgment and discrimination. There are things you must know, and you must use that knowledge, or difficulties will follow no matter how noble your intentions. Good motives are not enough: We must know!

Progress in any field of endeavor is impossible without knowledge. So how is a keen, alert intelligence to be acquired if we do not possess it? Simple; like any other latent faculty or power it may be evolved. As the physical strength may be steadily increased by constant exercise of the muscles, so mind may increase in power by systematic work. It should be exercised in original thinking, for a stated period, if only for a quarter of an hour a day must be set aside for this purpose.

A book on a serious subject will furnish material but the too common method of reading, of following the author lazily and accepting whatever he sets forth as a matter of course, is of little value. One must read with discrimination, receiving the ideas offered as a jury would receive testimony from a witness, considering it from every possible viewpoint, examining it in the light of known facts, turning it over in the mind, weighing it thoughtfully, and accepting or rejecting according to its reasonableness or its lack of reason.

In such mental work for intellectual growth each paragraph can be considered by itself and only a small portion of the time should be given to the reading while the remainder is devoted to pondering over what has been read. Of course the study of a specific subject is an advantage; perhaps nothing is better than to study esoteric occultism, thinking deeply upon the problems of the human race.

Another method that goes admirably with such work is the close observation and study of all the life in manifestation about us. Beside the things of nature, weather, flora and fauna, we should also try to comprehend people, to observe and understand them. Every word, act and facial expression has its meaning to be caught and interpreted. All this will not only sharpen the wits but also strengthen human sympathy for it enables us the better to know the difficulties and sorrows of others.

If you follow these practices faithfully every day, then day by day your growth will be steady, and your power will become self evident.

A person must resolve to be the master of their body, when you do so you soon acquire the power to arouse the body to activity, and alertness, during your entire day, you must also develop the habit of keen observation and be conscious of what is occurring around you, instead of being carelessly unconscious of the major portion of what is happening in your vicinity.

This skill of paying attention to the things that may engage the mind, and of using your will to arouse and control them, is of very great importance. It is not what we call paying attention; rather it is called situational awareness. Being conscious of where and when you are that makes the connection between the ego and the objective world. This giving attention is a process of consciousness, and the person who fails in this matter misses the purpose of life and throws away valuable time and opportunity.

To maintain situational awareness is to be alive and awake and in a condition to make the most of this limited physical life. Yet we find that many people cannot give sustained attention to an ordinary conversation nor direct their mind with sufficient precision to state a simple fact without wandering aimlessly about in the effort, bringing in various incidental matters until the original subject, instead of being made clear, it is obscured in a maze of unimportant details or lost sight of altogether.

These poor habits of the mind should resolutely be put aside, the attention should be fixed deliberately upon the subject at hand, whatever it may be, and nothing should be permitted to break the connection between that and the mind. Whether it is a conversation or a book, or a manual task, or a problem being silently worked out intellectually, it should have undivided attention until the task is completed or the time has expired.

Few of us ever give any subject the close attention which alone can prove its own effectiveness and demonstrate the fact that there goes with such steadily sustained attention a subtle power of extended, or accentuated, consciousness. The time spent in wavering attention is practically without effect. The connection between mind and subject has not been completed: Mind and subject were out of focus.

Attention must be sustained to the point where it becomes concentration. The mind must be used like you use a magnifying glass: Hold the glass between sun and paper, out of focus, for an hour and nothing will happen. Conversely if you bring it into perfect focus, concentrating the rays to the finest possible point, the paper turns brown and finally bursts into the fire that will consume it. They are the same rays that were previously ineffective: Concentration produced results.

The mind must be brought under such control of your will that it can be manipulated like a search-light, turning back and forth until it fixes full upon some obscure subject and held there until it illuminates every detail of it, as the search light sends a dazzling ray through the darkness of the night, so must you use your mind to define and clear up all that you can see.

Only those of us with a strong will that do not surrender or compromise can experience success. Once a person’s will is brought into action every hindrance will be swept aside.

This force called will is indeed mighty when aroused. However one can be easily deceived about their will. You are likely to think that your will is much stronger than it really is. You may say to yourself, “I would go through anything for the sake of the higher life and spiritual illumination.” Yet that is no guarantee, after a few months of monotonous work you may abandon your goal unless you adopt the wise plan of strengthening your will as you move forward.

Let us begin by testing your present strength of will, but don’t be discouraged by the result. Remember that whatever you lack in will power he can be developed by proper effort. To find out whether you really have strength of will you begin by observing to what extent you permit your daily plans to be modified, or changed, by the things that run counter to your will.

Do you hold to your purpose or do you weakly surrender to small obstacles? Do you have the will power to even begin the day as planned? Let us use the example of waking up; the evening before you decide that you will get up at six o’clock the next morning. You know there are certain excellent reasons why you should, and you go to bed. It is positively settled that at exactly six o’clock the day’s program shall begin. Then when the alarm clock rings the next morning you disobey the summons. This will thing involves some bodily discomfort to rise at that hour and you decide that, after all, perhaps you were a bit hasty. So you reconsider the matter and hit the snooze button repeatedly until it is seven.

The hour, of course, is unimportant, but whatever may have been the hour that was previously determined upon; the keeping of that determination is of the greatest importance, and the failure to keep that resolution is evidence of a weak will. Now all this proves that you have very little real will power, for you permit the desire for trifling bodily comfort to set your plans aside. This means you are still a slave to the physical body and weakly permit it to upset your plans.

Real success can come only to those who have steadfast strength of purpose. People who fail to assert the will and bring the body into complete subjection probably don’t realize what a price they pay. Until we voluntarily take the right course we have not escaped the evolutionary necessity of compulsion and may expect sooner rather than later to be thrown into an environment that will apply the stimulus we need to develop our will.

It will be unpleasant while it is occurring, but what better fortune could happen to you than to find yourself in circumstances where poverty or other necessity compels you to subordinate bodily comfort to the reign of the will? Nature provides the lessons we require. We may wisely co-operate with her and escape the sting, but so long as we need the lesson we may be quite sure that it awaits us.

If you are at a lower point in evolution where you do not have the ambition for intellect, culture, fame or wealth, but only the desire for food and shelter, still that primitive desire forces you into action; and while this will power will be evolved only in proportion to the strength of the desire, it must nevertheless grow. Instead of rising at a certain hour because the will decrees it, you may rise only because you know you have to go to work, but you are learning the same lesson; namely the overcoming of the inertia of the physical body, although it is compulsory instead of voluntary.

This is unconscious evolution. It is a long, slow, painful process. It is the only way possible for those who are not wise enough to collaborate with nature in her evolutionary work, and therefore rise above the necessity of compulsion.

So endeavor to be conscious of the need to grow your will. Cheerfully and willingly decide on a thing and then do it, take small steps at first to build up your will to greater levels, and soon you will be experiencing success at all you choose to put your hand to.

You can be; what you will to be.

This world we live in is our training ground; it is a vast gymnasium for the development of our very being. We are here to evolve and become greater beings.

We are here to play the game of life. Our training will appear as we are ready. We will match our courage against our adversities and acquire fearlessness. We will try our optimism against our disappointments and learn cheerfulness. We will pit our patience against our failures and gain persistence.

We are torn from our ambition by opponents and learn tolerance of others. We fall from the heights of vanity and pride, and learn to be modest and humble. We will encounter pain and sorrow and learn sympathy with suffering.

It is through such experiences that we will grow to become better people. It is only in this environment dedicated to our spiritual development that we can evolve the latent powers within us.
This is the universe we find ourselves in, and from it there is no escape. No one can avoid life; not even the foolish ones who, when the difficulties before them appear for the moment overwhelming, try to escape by suicide. A person cannot die. You can only choose how you will live.

You may either helplessly drift through the world suffering from all the ills and evils that make so many unhappy or you may choose the method of conscious evolution that makes life truly wonderful. You may be either the suffering slave of nature or the master of your own life.

Now, all powers possessed by us human being, are latent in all humans and can, in time, be developed and brought into action. Through learning and practice your talents and powers can be brought forth. Of course there is no magic by which the fool can instantly become wise, or the brutal can be immediately transformed into a saint. There will come a time when you reach the point in your evolution where you begin to comprehend the purpose of life, and to develop the will to put forth your energies in co-operation with nature.

However this transformation from the darkness of ignorance to light of spiritual illumination, from helplessness to power, must be brought about by your own efforts, for it is a process of evolution; of forcing the latent to become the active.

Therefore you must resolve to take your self by the hand for definite and systematic self improvement. Nobody else can do the work for you. Certain moral qualities must be gained before there can be spiritual illumination and genuine wisdom and such qualities, or virtues, have to be developed by the laws under which all growth occurs.

It is just as impossible to acquire a moral quality by reading about it as it would be to gain muscular strength by watching a sport on TV. To gain muscular strength one must take part in the physical activities that produce it. In the same manner to gain spiritual strength and supremacy you must take part in the activities that develop these skills. There is no other way, you must first learn what mental and moral qualities are essential, and how to gain them, and then set earnestly about the work of acquiring them.

The first thing necessary is to get a clear understanding of the fact that the physical body is not the self. Your body is only a tool you use, much like your car is a tool your body uses, so is your body a tool your spirit uses. Your body is only a vehicle or instrument through which the self is being manifested in the visible world. The body is as much your instrument as your pen is.

It is a thing which you, the self, use and a clear conception of this fact, a feeling that this is the fact, is the first step toward that absolute control of the physical body that lays the foundation for success in your conscious evolution. When we feel that in managing the physical body we are controlling something that is not our self we are fairly started on the right road.

What is the greatest fear that we all hold within us? Well this is a bit subjective but it has been found that most of us are greatly afraid of our own greatness. For many years many of us have been told to fit in, to become like the rest of society, so when we are faced with success we cower in fear and sabotage ourselves so that we won’t have to suffer greatness. Then for others who do achieve greatness we again sabotage our self by doing stupid things to remove our greatness from us.

For many people, fear of greatness is the biggest fear we face, but it is the least discussed. Ask your self these questions and honestly answer your self. Nobody but you will know the answers so be honest with your self. What if I became great at something? What if I become really great at my own business? What if I became really great at my job? What would happen if I was a really great spouse? What would people say if I was a really great public speaker? What would my friends say if I became rich and successful?

Did any of these questions bring an answer that caused you a bad feeling or even some fear? If so you have just identified a limiting belief that you are holding that is keeping you from your own true greatness. For most of us this thought of being great is one of the most uncomfortable thoughts we can consider, and as a result holds more of us back than almost anything. Also for those who do achieve a measure of greatness this fear causes us to self destruct so as to avoid any further greatness.

Face it; our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; rather our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. As in the Kabballah teaching: It is our light, not our darkness which frightens us the most.

Please realize this small truth; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing very enlightened about shrinking your self and ability so that other people won't feel insecure when they are around you. You are who you are for a reason; your every choice has led up to this moment in time. Your thoughts will also control your future and your beliefs will control your thoughts.

There is absolutely no reason why you can not be great. You can in fact, be whatever you will to be. You are the one holding your self back from your inner greatness. You are holding on to the belief that you should be like everyone else. This false belief has been planted in you by your friends, family and society since the day you were born.

You need to be whom you were meant to be, as well as enjoy the greatness that comes to you from being a truly honest you. A good point to ponder is this: “As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” (Marianne Williamson “Return to Love”)

You are not limited to your station in life; you can and are required to make a difference in this life. It is not an option to fail, you are indeed set to be the greatest, and you are indeed slated to become a well known great person. So what is stopping you? The answer, sadly enough, is you; you are stopping your self because of a simple unaddressed fear.

There is no reason you can not be great, and as long as you are kind to those who help and serve you, there is no reason you can not remain great. Be in control of your self, do not let a fear planted by others rule your life. Decide now what it is you are going to be great at, and then, do it!

The degree to which your mind can control circumstances and dominate matter is far greater than you have ever believed. Our impressions about matter are quite literally illusory. No form of matter is permanent. Change goes on everywhere all the time, first by physical laws in the physical body and second by astral and mental laws in our invisible bodies. We are not the same being, physically, mentally or spiritually, any two days in a row.

Your very soul itself is subject to this law of change. It may expand and shine out through the physical becoming an organism resplendent or it may only faintly glimmer. So what is this law of soul growth? There are certain well established facts about the laws of growth that we should not overlook when seeking the way forward.

Nothing can grow without use, without activity. As Einstein said “Nothing happens until something moves;” in other words, inaction causes atrophy. Doctors tell us that if you were to tie your arm to the body so that it cannot be used, it will in time become so enfeebled, that it is of no further service. It will wither away. That is nature’s law of economy. She never gives life where it is useless, where it cannot, or will not, be utilized. On the other hand, exercise increases power. To increase the size and strength of muscles we must use them.

This is just as true of mental and moral faculties as it is of the physical body. The only way to make the brain keen and powerful is to exercise it by original thinking. One way to gain soul powers is to give free play to the loftiest aspirations of which we are capable, and to do it systematically instead of at random.

We grow to be like the things we think about. Now, the reverse of all this must be equally true. To give no thought to higher things, to become completely absorbed in material affairs, is to stifle the soul, to invite spiritual atrophy, this is the certain result of all shirking of responsibility. There may be an apparent temporary gain, but it always means greater loss, either immediate or remote.

So nature punishes inaction with atrophy. Whatever is not used finally ceases to be. In plain language, apathy, inaction, idleness, uselessness, is the road to degeneration. On the other hand, aspiration and activity mean growth, development, and power. So we grow, physically, mentally and morally, by activity, by exercise of the organs or the faculties we desire to possess. It is only by the constant exercise of these things that we can grow at all.

When this great law of nature is understood we see at once how it is that life is full of trouble; why it is that the whole visible world seems to be designed to keep us constantly at work physically and mentally, to challenge our resourcefulness in improving our physical, social and political conditions, to continually try our patience and to forever test our courage. It is the way of development.

So if you want to develop your abilities and powers then you must learn them. It is simple, use them and they will grow, practice and you will become better. Remain active, and you will continue to grow and change, never slipping into a state of degeneration and uselessness.

We all feel like we have to belong and fit in to a group. We all went through it in school, but even as adults it can be a struggle to feel like you belong.

There are many things that may make you an individual. For example you may be the only one among your group of friends who's chosen to remain single. Or perhaps you have an affinity for Star Trek that no one in your office seems to understand. You may even be the "black sheep" in your family, the one who seems to think and act differently than everyone else.


There will, quite simply, always be a reason why you don't fit in, somewhere. That is why it's an essential skill to learn not how to fit in, but to learn how to be just fine with NOT fitting in.

You see, it's not necessary to change a thing about yourself so you can be a part of the crowd. Nor is it a bad thing to be different from those in your circle. In fact, everyone feels like they don't fit in from time to time, and everyone wants to feel like they fit in; it's a completely normal part of life.


Most people, because we are identifying with our own limited stories, feel isolated even when they are with other people, we should not worry about being a part of the crowd, we should rejoice that we are different, that you are an individual.


Imagine, then, if you could simply feel confident in yourself whether or not you felt like you fit in. You would never have to worry about feelings of loneliness, awkwardness, self-doubt or low self-esteem because you would be fine with yourself in any situation.


Ironically, if you really want to enjoy the company of others and feel good about yourself, the best way to do it is to stop wanting to fit in. The best way to break free of your suffering and feel more like you fit in is; to let go of your wanting to fit in and forget your wanting to be different than you are just to fit in with a certain crowd.


You can easily let go of "wanting to fit in" just release these negative feelings and feel confident in whom you are. You are who you are, you simply can not be anyone else as they are all taken, and conversely nobody can be you as you already have that job of being you.


To always fit in, just allow yourself to simply be as you are.

All the good things that are to be made manifest in your life are already an accomplished fact in the universal mind, and are released through your recognition, and spoken word.

So what about the not so good things? You must be careful to decree that only the Divine Idea be made manifest; for often, you have caused and decreed, through your own "idle words," failure or misfortune.

It is therefore, of the utmost importance, to properly word your demands. If one desires a home, friend, position or any other good thing, make the demand for the "divine selection." I always use the words “with harm to none” but you can use words like “in the best way” or “under grace in the perfect way” or similar words of your choosing.

The importance of this is so that you do not create misfortune for yourself and others around you. The universe will supply your demand; it will grant you your wishes. If you do not ask in the correct way you wish will be granted your wish in a way you may not like.

For example let me tell you a story about my son. He was having a problem spending his money. Actually he was having a problem of not spending money. When he was on his own for the first time (he was in another state from his parents) he got a debit card, and every time he went somewhere he had to spend money, often on things that he didn’t need. After a few days he had spent all his pay and was starting to spend his savings on frivolous things. So he made a wish to be able to stop spending money. He did not word it correctly, what he needed was some self discipline but he did not ask for that, he asked to be able to stop spending money. So he “lost” his debit card. It took three weeks before the bank could send a replacement card. During that time he suffered hunger, lack of personal hygiene supplies, and all sorts of other miseries. Now he knows what is important to spend money on and what is not.

Failure to be patient also causes undesirable results. "Man’s dreary desires are answered drearily, and impatient desires, are long delayed or violently fulfilled.” If you can not wait for the correct results to arrive then not so desirable results will take their place. You still receive what you asked for, but not in a manner you thought.

I knew a man who disliked his living arrangement. He constantly spoke the words that he wished he didn’t have to live here. What he really desired was a nicer place to live but that is not what he asked for. So one day the landlord came with an eviction notice as the property had been sold as would soon be torn down. He had three days to get out. He ended up being homeless for almost a month before finding another apartment. So he got what he asked for, but not what he wanted.

So before you go making demands of the universe, before you make those wishes, think carefully about what you actually do desire. Then word your request correctly using the words so as to avoid causing pain and suffering as well as undesirable things. Then wait patiently for the correct results to arrive.

We all know how to give, and we all give freely. The problem is that while some people are cheerful givers, they are bad receivers. They refuse gifts through pride, or some other negative reason, thereby blocking their channels, and invariably find themselves eventually with little or nothing.

People should receive gracefully the bread returning to them upon the water; freely you have given, freely you shall receive. There is always the perfect balance of giving and receiving, and though you should give without thinking of returns, you violate the law if you do not accept the returns which come to you; for all gifts giving or receiving we are being merely the channel.

You should not concern yourself with the particular “what” that is being given or even its value. A thought of lack should never be held over the giver. It is the thought which brought it; you should not interrupt the flow by refusing. If one has been a bad receiver, you must become a good one, and take even a postage stamp if it is given to you, and open up your channels for receiving.

Everyone loves a cheerful giver; however nobody ever gives thought to the receiver. If you do not have cheerful receivers, you can not have cheerful givers. Learn to receive and to be grateful no matter the gift. Become both a cheerful giver and a grateful receiver and you will find your life becoming happier by the day.

Einstein said that nothing happens until something moves. If you stop the movement you stop what is happening. The thing that was going to happen may have been a very good thing, but you caused it to not happen to you by refusing to be a good receiver. If there was a way you could see all the great things you have passed by not receiving even simple gifts you would have cause to regret for the rest of your days.

Where there is an effect there is always a cause; there is no such thing as chance. If someone is giving you a gift, accept it. Even if the gift is worthless in your eyes, it was worth something to someone or it would not exist. Freely accept the gift, the gift may need to be given to someone else, and it may never get there except through you.

Do you not feel good when you give something to someone? Would you deny that to others by refusing a gift? Surely you would not be that callous as to deny others the ability to give freely. While it is fine for you to give and others to receive, you can not expect to not receive and have the law of reciprocity be denied.

So when a person offers you a gift, accept it. Accept it with grace and appreciation, a gift from a child giving you a barely recognizable crayon picture is just as valuable as a person giving you a car. There is a reason you are receiving the gift, so be cheerful and accept it.

People do not realize nor little dream of how their affairs react on the human body. This may seem odd, but; there is a mental reason for every disease. It has been proven that a person can receive instantaneous healing through the realization of their bad mental habits. If you know your body is a perfect idea in Divine Mind, and, therefore, whole and perfect, you will realize perfect health. However if you continue with destructive thinking, hoarding, hating, fearing, condemning, then the disease will return, often with a vengeance.

Most people have attracted disease and unhappiness through condemnation of others. What you condemn in others, you attracts to your self. For example if you condemn other people as lazy and ill disciplined you will soon find your self displaying the same traits you so vehemently rail against.

Stop condemning the people, bless them, and be through with the situation, otherwise, you are attracting the same thing to yourself. A person picks up a live-wire whenever they criticize or condemn, and so therefore must expect a shock. Instead of criticizing them, bless them, do not give undo attention where it is not wanted, and move on. Let us say you have a flaw that people may remark about. Do you desire for people to readily remark about your flaw every time you leave your house? Of course not, and other people do not need to have you commenting about their flaws either.

As a person opens their mind to subjectivity, they become a target for destructive forces. The psychic plane is the result of man’s mortal thought, and is on the "plane of opposites." They may receive either good or bad messages. However, if any good message has ever been given one, of coming happiness, or wealth, harbor and expect it, and it will manifest sooner or later, through the law of expectancy.

Your will should be used to back the universal will. Say to your self every day "I will be what I will to be." It is the will of the universe to give every person every righteous desire of their heart. Your will should be used to hold the perfect vision, without wavering. It is indeed, often an effort of the will to leave the husks and swine of mortal thinking. It is so much easier, for the average person, to have fear than faith; so faith is an effort of the will.

As you become spiritually awakened you will recognize that any external discord is the correspondence of mental discord. If you stumble or fall, you must know that you are stumbling or falling in consciousness. You and you alone are responsible for your actions. Your actions are a direct result of your thoughts, and your thoughts are a direct reflection of your beliefs. If there is something imperfect in your life, look within.

Remember that you will sow what you reap, would you rather harvest a crop of continuous blessings, or a crop of crap? The choice is yours; sow what you want to harvest.

Silence may be misunderstood but it is never misquoted.


Well I must apologize for my absence, it has been a scell of a hedual last week. The good news is I quit my old job, I am no longer a bicycle repairman. The other good news is I have a new job at higher pay and only one shift per day. I am now a 911 operator. My title is now telecommunications officer, also known as dispatcher. I realize that an older gentleman such as me does not fit the stereotype of a dispatcher, but it is an area I have found myself skilled at. A lot of my military training crosses over and helps immeasurably.


So what does this mean to you? It means that I will be able to once again post a daily lesson to the blog, it also means I will have time to answer your questions and give you the guidance you seek. So if you have any particular information you desire to know, please ask.


So for today's lesson I will keep it short and simple.


It is the natural right of every human being to be happy, to escape and avoid all the miseries of life. Happiness is the normal human condition, as natural as the weather and the seasons. It is unnatural to suffer and it is only because of our ignorance that we do suffer.




Happiness is the product of wisdom. To attain perfect wisdom, to comprehend fully the purpose of life, to realize completely the relationship of human beings to each other, is to put an end to all suffering, to escape every ill and evil that afflicts us. Perfect wisdom is also perfect joy.
