Only say that which you wish to be expressed in your body. Control your thoughts, so that you will think nothing you do not wish to manifest in your body. Impress this thought deeply upon your consciousness … I AM THAT WHICH I THINK I AM!

There are no “bad” or “evil” people.

A locomotive, which is on the rails pulling a heavy train, is perfect after its kind, and it is good. The power of steam, which drives it, is good. If a broken rail throw the engine into the ditch, and it does not become bad or evil by being so displaced; it is a perfectly good engine, but off the track. The power of steam that drives it into the ditch and wrecks it is not evil, but a perfectly good power. So that which is misplaced or applied in an incomplete or partial way is not evil.

There are no evil people; there are perfectly good people who are off the track, but they do not need condemnation or punishment; they only need to get upon the rails again.

Because of the way we have trained ourselves to think that which is undeveloped or incomplete often appears to us as evil. The root of a bulb that produces a white lily is an unsightly thing; one might look upon it with disgust. But how foolish would that be to condemn the bulb for its appearance when we know the lily is within it. The root is perfect after its kind; it is a perfect but incomplete lily, and so we must learn to look upon every man and woman, no matter how unlovely in outward manifestation; they are perfect in their stage of being and they are becoming complete.

Behold, it is all very good.

Once we come into a comprehension of this fact and arrive at this point of view, we lose all desire to find fault with people, to judge them, criticize them, or condemn them.

We no longer work as those who are saving lost souls, but as those who are among the angels, working out the completion of a glorious heaven. We no longer see men as trees walking, but our vision is complete. We have nothing but good words to say. It is all good; a great and glorious humanity coming to completeness. And in our association with others this puts us into an expansive and enlarging attitude of mind; we see them as great beings and we begin to deal with them and their affairs in a great way.

But if we fall to the other point of view and see a lost and degenerate race we shrink into the contracting mind; and our dealings with others and their affairs will be in a small and contracted way.

Remember to hold steadily to this point of view; if you do you cannot fail to begin at once to deal with your acquaintances and neighbors and with your own family as a great personality deals with people. This same viewpoint must be the one from which you regard yourself. You must always see yourself as a great advancing soul. Learn to say:

“There is THAT in me of which I am made, which knows no imperfection, weakness, or sickness. The world is incomplete, but The Source (God) in my own consciousness is both perfect and complete. Nothing can be wrong but my own personal attitude, and my own personal attitude can be wrong only when I disobey THAT which is within. I am a perfect manifestation of God so far as I have gone, and I will press on to be complete. I will trust and not be afraid.”

When you are able to say this understandingly you will have lost all fear and you will be far advanced upon the road to the development of a great and powerful personality.

The giant tree

A carpenter and his apprentices were travelling through the province of Qi in search of building materials. They saw a giant tree; five men all holding hands could not encompass its girth, and its crown reached almost to the clouds.

‘Let’s not waste our time with this tree,’ said the master carpenter. ‘It would take us for ever to cut it down. If we wanted to make a ship out of that heavy trunk, the ship would sink. If we tried to use it to build a roof, the walls would have to be specially reinforced.’

The group continued on its way. One of the apprentices remarked:

‘Such a big tree and no use to anyone!’

‘That’s where you’re wrong,’ said the master carpenter. ‘The tree was true to its own destiny. If it had been like all the others, we would have cut it down. But because it had the courage to be different, it will remain alive and strong for a long time yet.’

You and I know THERE is a Principle of Power in every person. By the intelligent use and direction of this principle, we can develop our own mental faculties.

We have an inherent power by which we may grow in whatever direction we please, and there aren’t any limits to the possibilities of our growth.

No one has yet become so great that it is impossible for someone else to become greater. That’s because the possibility is in the Original Substance (God, The Source) from which we are all made.

Great people are always greater than their deeds. They are in connection with a reserve of power that is without limit.

We do not know where the boundary of our mental powers is; we do not even know that there is a boundary.

The power of conscious growth is not given to the animals. The animals can, to a great extent, be trained and developed by us, and we can also train and develop ourselves. We alone have this power, and we have it to an apparently unlimited extent.

Just as the purpose of life for trees and plants is growth The purpose of life for you is growth also. Trees and plants grow automatically and along fixed lines; you can grow, as you will. Trees and plants can only develop certain possibilities and characteristics; you can develop any power, which is or has been shown by any person, anywhere. Nothing that is possible in spirit is impossible in flesh and blood. Nothing that you can think is impossible-in action. Nothing that you can imagine is impossible of realization.
You are formed for growth, and you are under the necessity of growing. It is essential to your happiness that you should continuously advance.

There is no possibility in any person that is not in every person; but if they proceed naturally, no two persons will grow into the same thing, or be alike. That’s because everyone comes into the world with a predisposition to grow along certain lines, and growth is easier for her along those lines than in any other way. This is a wise provision, for it gives endless variety to humankind. Not everyone wants to be rich and not everyone wants to be famous.

It is as if a gardener should throw all his bulbs into one basket; to the superficial observer they would look alike, but growth reveals a tremendous difference. So of people, they are like a basket of bulbs. One may be a rose
and add brightness and color to some dark corner of the world; one may be a lily and teach a lesson of love and purity to every eye that sees; one may be a climbing vine and hide the rugged outlines of some dark rock; one may be a great oak among whose boughs the birds shall nest and sing, and beneath whose shade the flocks shall rest at noon, but every one will be something worthwhile, something rare, something perfect.

The Principle of Power gives us just what we ask of it. If we only undertake little things, it only gives us power for little things; but if we try to do great things in a great way it gives us all the power there is.

But beware of undertaking great things in a small way: of that we shall speak farther on.

There are two mental attitudes people may take. One makes you like a football. It has resilience and reacts strongly when force is applied to it, but it originates nothing; it never acts of itself. There is no power within it. Person of this type are controlled by circumstances and environment, their destinies are decided by things external to themselves. The Principle of Power within them is never really active at all. They never speak or act from within.
The other attitude makes person like a flowing spring. Power comes out from the center of her. She has within her a well of water springing up into everlasting life, she radiates force; heist felt by her environment. The Principle of Power in her is in constant action. She is self-active. “She has life in herself.”

No greater good can come to any man or woman than to become self-active. All the experiences of life are designed by The Source to force men and women into self-activity; to compel them to cease being creatures of circumstances and master their environment.

In our lowest stage, we are the children of chance and circumstance and the slave of fear. Our acts are all reactions resulting from the impingement upon us of forces in our environment. We act only as we are acted upon; we originate nothing. But even at our lowest stage have within us a Principle of Power sufficient to master all that we fear; and if we learn this and becomes self-active, we become as one of the gods.

The awakening of the Principle of Power in us is the real conversion; the passing from death to life. It is the resurrection and the life. When it is awakened, we become a son of the Highest and all power is given to us in heaven and on earth.

Nothing was ever in any person that is not in you; no one ever had more spiritual or mental power than you can attain, or did greater things than you can accomplish. You can become what you want to be

The first hour is the rudder of the day. We essentially set the tone ( or the vibe) for the day starting the moment we’re awake.

Here is an exercise for you.

Tomorrow morning as soon as you’re awake pay attention to what’s going on in your head. Even before you get out of bed.

What is the conversation going on in your head. Are you glad to be up or do you hate that damn alarm clock. Are you having a pleasant conversation ( in your head) or is it one of lack and annoyance or worse.

First time I tried that exercise I was shocked to find out how someone as positive as me could have so much negativity in the first 5 minutes of the day……. It was an eye opener……..

This is my morning routine.

Sometime between 5:30 and 6:00

I am consciously in my body( time you wake up-before getting up) I take a few deep breaths and recognize this morning my body is alive. That’s a good start.

then I think of my expectation for this day to be a happy and exciting day and a day of constant contact with my infinite source. A few more deep breaths. hug my wife and get out of bed. Great to see my feet are still working..

I drink a pint of water.:::Slowly:::. Notice how the water hydrates my body starting with my tongue. If I don’t need more water then head to bathroom for the shower/shave/brush. Before I start I set my intention to clean my physical body. And during the process I produce positive thoughts. Think about funny things, fun things anything to keep increasing my vibe.

Now my body is watered and clean I grab my dream-magazine (Turk made magazine filled with things I want in my life.) I look at the pictures until my vibe reaches the point where I am happy to have those things in my life. Then I set my timer to 20 minutes, and start thinking about my life at that point in particular about the feeling I am going to have about it.

When the alarm goes off. I ask for clear guidance for anything I must do to reach that vision and faith for the times I’m in doubt of my connection to my God.

My work for this day is done.

I dress up and GOOOooooooo.

Everything that is produced in a person’s life is a result of what they thought. Thoughts are very powerful as you have seen in this book. All you have to do is look around you and see conditions of people and know they got there because of what they thought. This is why it is important to monitor what you think and focus on what comes into your conscious mind. By thinking about positive things, you will produce positive results.

There are many steps you can take to change your subconscious programming. You can perform meditation or creative visualization or both. The bottom line is to do what it takes to control and change what goes into your subconscious mind, and to alter what is already there.

When you meditate, you actually reach your subconscious mind directly. This is the best way to reprogram your subconscious mind. Just put good thoughts in there and you will find your previous programming will change. It is important to learn this principle. What you think about becomes your reality. If you want to attract goods things in your life, you must think good thoughts.

In order to attract good things in your life you must vibrate in harmony with the universe. This entails different procedures to gets there. You can reprogram your subconscious through meditation and visualization. But you also need to show gratitude for what you have. This way you will get more. When you show gratitude, you are vibrating in harmony with the universe and by doing this, those thoughts will get processed by the subconscious mind. What happens then is that those thoughts are filed in your memory banks as vibrating energy. So when the time comes to use them, they will respond exactly the same way they were stored. This way the energy you have from your subconscious mind is sent to your conscious mind and you will respond according to what the thoughts are.

Everything in the universe is energy. By acting in harmony with this energy, you can become intertwined as it were with the universal source. By coming together with it in this way, you will be attracting everything that the universe has to offer since you will be connected to it. Once your subconscious mind has been programmed properly to be in accord and connected to the universe, the results will be what you make them to be – goodness, happiness, and plenty of prosperity.

That quality which enables us to use our abilities in a great way makes us great; and to that quality we give the name of wisdom. Wisdom is the essential basis 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 perceive 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.

Wisdom is dependent upon knowledge. Where there is complete ignorance 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 greater than our own and draw from it, by inspiration, the wisdom that our own limitations deny us. This we can do; this is what the really great men and women have done. Our knowledge is limited and uncertain; therefore we cannot have wisdom in ourselves.

Abraham Lincoln had limited education; but he had the power to perceive truth. In Lincoln we see pre-eminently apparent the fact that real wisdom consists in knowing the right thing to do at all times and 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 all other men 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 men; he saw, also, 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 men recognized that he perceived truth and knew the right thing to do that they made him president.

If you develop the power to perceive truth, and you can show that you always know the right thing to do and that you can be trusted to do the right thing, you will be honored and advanced; the whole world is looking eagerly for such person.

When Lincoln became president 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 judgment 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? It was not due to some peculiar formation of his skull or to some fineness of texture of his brain. It was not due to some physical characteristic. It was not even a quality of mind due to superior reasoning power.

Processes of reason do not often reach knowledge of truth. It was due to a spiritual insight. He perceived truth, but where did he perceive it and whence did the perception come? We see something similar in Washington, whose faith and courage, due to his perception of truth, held the colonies together during the long and often apparently hopeless struggle of the Revolution.

We see something of the same thing in the phenomenal genius of Napoleon, who always knew, in military matters, the best means to adopt. We see that the greatness

of Napoleon was in nature rather than in Napoleon, and we discover back of Washington and Lincoln something greater than either Washington or Lincoln. 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. The same is true of all who manifest wisdom. Wisdom is obtained by reading the mind of Infinite Intelligence.

Just as we here on earth are surrounded by a great sea of air, so are we surrounded by a great sea of Mind. Our thought waves move through this vast mental ether, extending, however, in all directions, as I have explained, becoming somewhat lessened in intensity according to the distance traversed, because of the friction occasioned by the waves coming in contact with the great body of Mind surrounding us on all sides.

These thought waves have other qualities differing from the waves on the water. They have the property of reproducing themselves; in this respect they resemble sound waves rather than waves upon the water. Just as a note of the violin will cause the thin glass to vibrate and “sing,” so will a strong thought tend to awaken similar vibrations in minds attuned to receive it. Many of the “stray thoughts” which come to us are but reflections or answering vibrations to some strong thought sent out by another. But unless our minds are attuned to receive it, the thought will not likely affect us. If we are thinking high and great thoughts, our minds acquire a certain keynote corresponding to the character of the thoughts we have been thinking. And, this keynote once established, we will be apt to catch the vibrations of other minds keyed to the same thought. On the other hand, let us get into the habit of thinking thoughts of an opposite character, and we will soon be echoing the low order of thought emanating from the minds of the thousands thinking along the same lines.

Here is a part of the email he sent. Remember this email is from yesterday.

Hey everyone!

I hope all is well.  The energies of this last new moon are being noticed now. I have had comments from you, and watched what is going on in the world, it is evident the universal truth is coming; there will be no stopping it. Some comments and events are chaotic, some are amazing. The one thing I am asking you to all continue to do is to be open, with no fear, and willing to grow at all costs. This is a time of tremendous transformation, so do not let one event define you at this time. Know that the event is being presented to you for YOUR GROWTH!!!!!! Pluto can be subtle, so this is at your deepest level!!!! We will all look back on this, and realize just how powerful this time new moon was for our own understanding of what IS, versus our perceptions we have had.

I am writing today, because the sun is within one degree of conjunction with Pluto at our galactic center. That means tomorrow they will be exactly conjunct! Our galactic center the Mayans believed was the womb of the universe. The dark space that leads to all of creation! We have our souls, (Pluto) and egos, (Sun) perfectly positioned for all of the universes ability to create past and present, to create in our lives our universal truths!!!! (Jupiter is also there for luck and expansion, and mercury is there, to help us understand it in a way where we can apply it to this world either verbally, or documentation).
