the mind forces are ever ready to lend themselves to a purposeful will in the
effort to crystallize its highest aspirations into acts, accomplishments, and events.
18. An illustration of how these mind forces operate is suggested by the method in which all
our habits are formed. We do a thing, then do it again, and again, and again, until it becomes
easy and perhaps almost automatic; and the same rule applies in breaking any and all bad
habits; we stop doing a thing, and then avoid it again, and again until we are entirely free
from it; and if we do fail now and then, we should by no means lose hope, for the law is
absolute and invincible and gives us credit for every effort and every success, even though
our efforts and successes are perhaps intermittent.
19. There is no limit to what this law can do for you; dare to believe in your own idea;
remember that Nature is plastic to the ideal; think of the ideal as an already accomplished
fact.
20. The real battle of life is one of ideas; it is being fought out by the few against the many;
on the one side is the constructive and creative thought, on the other side the destructive and
negative thought; the creative thought is dominated by an ideal, the passive thought is
dominated by appearances. On both sides are men of science, men of letters, and men of
affairs.
21. On the creative side are men who spend their time in laboratories, or over microscopes
and telescopes, side by side with the men who dominate the commercial, political, and
scientific world; on the negative side or men who spend their time investigating law and
precedent, men who mistake theology for religion, statesmen who mistake might for right,
and all the millions who seem to prefer precedent to progress, who are eternally looking
backward instead of forward, who see only the world without, but know nothing of the world
within.
22. In the last analysis there are but these two classes; all men will have to take their place
on one side or the other; they will have to go forward, or go back; there is no standing still in
a world where all is motion; it is this attempt to stand still that gives sanction and force to
arbitrary and unequal codes of law.
23. That we are in a period of transition is evidenced by the unrest which is everywhere
apparent. The complaint of humanity is as a roll of heaven's artillery, commencing with low
and threatening notes and increasing until the sound is sent from cloud to cloud, and the
lightning splits the air and earth.
24. The sentries who patrol the most advanced outposts of the Industrial, Political, and
Religious world are calling anxiously to each other. What of the night? The danger and
insecurity of the position they occupy and attempt to hold is becoming more apparent every hour. The dawn of a new era necessarily declares that the existing order of things cannot
much longer be.
25. The issue between the old regime and the new, the crux of the social problem, is entirely
a question of conviction in the minds of the people as to the nature of the Universe. When
they realize that the transcendent force of spirit or mind of the Cosmos is within each
individual, it will be possible to frame laws that shall consider the liberties and rights of the
many instead of the privileges of the few.
26. As long as the people regard the Cosmic power as a power non-human and alien to
humanity, so long will it be comparatively easy for a supposed privileged class to rule by
Divine right in spite of every protest of social sentiment. The real interest of democracy is
therefore to exalt, emancipate and recognize the divinity of the human spirit. To recognize
that all power is from within. That no human being has any more power than any other
human being, except such as may willingly be delegated to him. The old regime would have
us believe that the law was superior to the law-makers; herein is the gist of the social crime
of every form of privilege and personal inequality, the institutionalizing of the fatalistic
doctrine of Divine election.
27. The Divine Mind is the Universal Mind; it makes no exceptions, it plays no favorites; it
does not act through sheer caprice or from anger, jealousy or wrath; neither can it be
flattered, cajoled or moved by sympathy or petition to supply man with some need which he
thinks necessary for his happiness or even his existence. The Divine Mind makes no
exceptions in favor any individual; but when the individual understands and realizes his Unity
with the Universal principle he will appear to be favored because he will have found the
source of all health, all wealth, and all power.
28. For your exercise this week, concentrate on the Truth. Try to realize that the Truth shall
make you free, that is, nothing can permanently stand in the way of your perfect success
when you learn to apply the scientifically correct thought methods and principles. Realize that
you are externalizing in your environment your inherent soul potencies. Realize that the
Silence offers an ever available and almost unlimited opportunity for awakening the highest
conception of Truth. Try to comprehend that Omnipotence itself is absolute silence, all else is
change, activity, limitation. Silent thought concentration is therefore the true method of
reaching, awakening, and then expressing the wonderful potential power of the world within.
"The possibilities of thought training are infinite, its consequence eternal, and yet few take the
pains to direct their thinking into channels that will do them good, but instead leave all to
chance." - Marden

and which is one and indivisible.
203. How is this power being manifested? Through the individual, each individual is a
channel whereby this energy is being differentiated in form.
204. How may we connect with this Omnipotence? Our ability to think is our ability to act on
this Universal Energy, and what we think is what is produced or created in the objective
world.
205. What is the result of this discovery? The result is nothing less than marvelous, it opens
unprecedented and limitless opportunity.
206. How, then, may we eliminate imperfect conditions? By becoming conscious of our Unity
with the source of all power.

210. What is the issue between the old regime and the new? A question of conviction as to
the nature of the Universe. The old regime is trying to cling to the fatalistic doctrine of Divine
election. The new regime recognizes the divinity of the individual, the democracy of humanity.


INTRODUCTION - PART TWENTY-TWO


In Part Twenty-two you will find that thoughts are spiritual seeds, which, when planted in the
subconscious mind, have a tendency to sprout and grow, but unfortunately the fruit is
frequently not to our liking.
The various forms of inflammation, paralysis, nervousness and diseased conditions
generally, are the manifestation of fear, worry, care, anxiety, jealousy, hatred and similar
thought.
The life processes are carried on by two distinct methods; first, the taking up and making use
of nutritive material necessary for constructing cells; second, breaking down and excreting
the waste material.
All life is based upon these constructive and destructive activities, and as food, water and air
are the only requisites necessary for the construction of cells, it would seem that the problem
of prolonging life indefinitely would not be a very difficult one.
However strange it may seem, it is the second or destructive activity that is, with rare
exception, the cause of all disease. The waste material accumulates and saturates the
tissues, which causes autointoxication. This may be partial or general. In the first case the
disturbance will be local; in the second place it will affect the whole system.
The problem, then, before us in the healing of disease is to increase the inflow and
distribution of vital energy throughout the system, and this can only be done by eliminating
thoughts of fear, worry, care, anxiety, jealousy, hatred, and every other destructive thought,
which tend to tear down and destroy the nerves and glands which control the excretion and
elimination of poisonous and waste matter.
"Nourishing foods and strengthening tonics" cannot bestow life, because these are but
secondary manifestations to life. The primary manifestation of life and how you may get in
touch with it is explained in the Part which I have the privilege of enclosing herewith.
PART TWENTY-TWO
1. Knowledge is of priceless value, because by applying knowledge we can make our future
what we wish it to be. When we realize that our present character, our present environment,
our present ability, our present physical condition are all the result of past methods of
thinking, we shall begin to have some conception of the value of knowledge.
2. If the state of our health is not all that could be desired, let us examine our method of
thinking; let us remember that every thought produces an impression on the mind; every
impression is a seed which will sink into the subconscious and form a tendency; the tendency
will be to attract other similar thoughts and before we know it we shall have a crop which
must be harvested.
3. If these thoughts contain disease germs, the harvest will be sickness, decay, weakness,
and failure; the question is, what are we thinking, what are we creating, what is the harvest to
be?
4. If there is any physical condition which it is necessary to change, the law governing
visualization will be found effective. Make a mental image of physical perfection, hold it in the
mind until it is absorbed by the consciousness. Many have eliminated chronic ailments in a
few weeks by this method, and thousands have overcome and destroyed all manner of
ordinary physical disturbances by this method in a few days, sometimes in a few minutes.
5. It is through the law of vibration that the mind exercises this control over the body. We
know that every mental action is a vibration, and we know that all form is simply a mode of
motion, a rate of vibration. Therefore, any given vibration immediately modifies every atom in
the body, every life cell is affected and an entire chemical change is made in every group of
life cells.
6. Everything in the Universe is what it is by virtue of its rate of vibration. Change the rate of
vibration and you change the nature, quality and form. The vast panorama of nature, both
visible and invisible, is being constantly changed by simply changing the rate of vibration,
and as thought is a vibration we can also exercise this power. We can change the vibration
and thus produce any condition which we desire to manifest in our bodies.
7. We are all using this power every minute. The trouble is most of us are using it
unconsciously and thus producing undesirable results. The problem is to use it intelligently
and produce only desirable results. This should not be difficult, because we all have had
sufficient experience to know what produces pleasant vibration in the body, and we also
know the
