Tuning In To The Secret Power of Infinite Love & Wisdom - Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom.

The secret power and effects of love. This is the spirit of infinite love. The moment we recognize ourselves as one with it, we become so filled with love that we see only the good in all. And when we realize that we are all one with this infinite spirit, then we realize, in a sense, we are all one with each other.

When we come into a recognition of this fact, we can then do no harm to anyone, to anything. We find that we are all members of the one great body, and that no portion of the body can be harmed without all the other portions suffering thereby. When we fully realize the great fact of the oneness of all life, that all are partakers from this one infinite source, and so that the same life is the life of each individual, then prejudices go and hatred ceases. Love grows and reigns supreme.

Then, wherever we go, wherever we come in contact with fellow man, we are able to recognize the God within. We look only for the good, and we find it. It always pays. There is a deep scientific fact underlying the great truth: "He that takes the sword shall perish by the sword." The moment we come into a realization of the subtle powers of the thought forces, we can quickly see that the moment we entertain any thoughts of hatred toward another, he gets the law of attraction: tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom.

Effects of these diabolical forces that go out from us, and has the same thoughts of hatred aroused in him, which in turn return to the sender. Then we understand the effects of the passion, hatred, or anger, even upon the physical body. We can see how detrimental, how expensive this is. The same is true in regard to all kindred thoughts or passions: envy, criticism, jealousy, scorn. In the ultimate, we shall find that in entertaining feelings of this nature toward another, we always suffer far more than the one toward whom we entertain them.

And then we fully realize the fact that selfishness is at the root of all error, sin, and crime, and the ignorance is the basis of all selfishness. With what charity we come to look upon the acts of all! It is the ignorant man who seeks his own ends at the expense of the greater whole. It is the ignorant man, therefore, who is the selfish man. The truly wise man is never selfish. He is a seer and recognizes the fact that he, a single member of the one great body, has benefited in just the degree that the entire body has benefited. And so he seeks nothing for himself that he would not equally seek for all mankind.

If selfishness is at the bottom of all errors and crime, and ignorance is the basis of all selfishness, then when we see a manifestation of either of these qualities, if we are true to the highest within us, we will look for and will seek to call forth the good in each individual with whom we come in contact. When God speaks to God, then God responds and calls forth as God. But when the devil speaks to devil, then devil responds, and the devil is always to pay.

Sometimes I hear a person say, "I don't see any good in him." No, then you are no seer. Look deeper, and you will find the very God in every human soul. But remember, it takes a God to recognize a God. Christ always spoke to the highest, the truest, and the best in men. He knew, and he recognized the God in each because he had first realized it in himself. He ate with publicans and sinners. Abominable, the scribes and Pharisees said they were so wrapped up "Law of Attraction" tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom in their own conceits, their own self-centeredness, hence their own ignorance, that they had never found the God in themselves, and so they never dreamed that it was the real life of even publicans and sinners.

In the degree that we hold a person in the thought of evil or of error, do we suggest evil and error to him. In the degree that he is sensitively organized, or not well individualized, and so subject to the suggestions of the thought forces from others, will he be influenced. And so, in this way, we may be sharers in the very evil-doing in which we hold another in thought. In the same way, when we hold a person in the thought of the right, the good, and the true, righteousness, goodness, and truth are suggested to him, and thus we have a most beneficent influence on his life and conduct.

If our hearts go out in love to all with whom we come in contact, we inspire love, and the same, nobly and warming influence of love, always returns to us from souls in whom we inspire them. There is a deep scientific principle underlying the precept: "If you would have all the world love you, you must first love all the world." In the degree that we love, we will be loved. Thoughts are forces. Each creates its kind. Each comes back laden with the effect. Law of Attraction: Manifest, create, attract that corresponds to herself, and of which it is the cause. Then let your secret thoughts be fair; they have a vital part in shaping words and molding fate. God’s system is so intricate. I know of no better practice than that of a friend who continually holds himself in an attitude of mind that he continually sends out his love in the form of the thought: "There, everybody, I love you."

And when we realize the fact that a thought invariably produces its effect before it returns, or before it ceases, we can see how he is continually breathing out a blessing not only upon all with whom he comes in contact, but upon all the world. These same thoughts of love, moreover, token in various ways, are continually coming to him from all quarters. Even animals feel the effects of these forces. Some animals are much more sensitively organized than many people are, and consequently, they get the effects of our thoughts, our mental states, and emotions much more readily than many people do. Therefore, whenever we meet an animal, we can bid it goodbye, sending out to it these thoughts of love. It will feel the effects, whether we simply entertain or whether we voice them, and it is often interesting to note how quickly it responds and how readily it gives evidence of its appreciation of this love and consideration on our part.

What a privilege, and how enjoyable it would be to live and walk in a world where we meet only Gods! In such a world, you can live. In such a world, I can live. For in the degree that we come into this Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom, higher realization, do we see only the God in each human soul? And when we are thus able to see Him in everyone we meet, we then live in such a world. And when with us, recognize the God in everyone, we, by this recognition, help to call it forth ever more and more.

What a privilege! This privilege of yours, this privilege of mine! That hypocritical judging of another is something, then, with which we can have nothing to do. For we have the power of looking beyond the evolving, changing, their-making self, and seeing the real, the changeless, the eternal self, which by-and-by will show forth in the full beauty of holiness. We are then large enough also to realize the fact that when we condemn another, by that very act we condemn ourselves. This realization so fills us with love that we continually overflow it, and all with whom we come in contact feel its warming and life-giving power. These, in turn, send back the same feelings of love to us, and so we continually attract love from all quarters.

Tell me how much someone loves, and I will tell you how much he has seen of God. Tell me how much he loves, and I will tell you how much he lives with God. Tell me how much he loves, and I will tell you how far into the Kingdom of Heaven, the kingdom of harmony, he has entered. For love is the fulfilling of the law, and in a sense, love is everything. It is the key to life, and its influences are beyond those that move the world. Live only in the thought of love for all, and you will draw love to you from all. Live in the thought of malice or hatred, and malice and hatred will come back to you. For evil poisons, model shafts like boomerangs, return, inflicting wounds that will not heal, while raging anger burns. Every thought you entertain is a force that goes out, and every thought comes back laden with its kind. This is an immutable law.

Every thought you entertain, as moreover, a direct effect upon your body. Love and its kindred emotions are the normal and the natural, those in accordance with the eternal order of the universe, for God is love. These have a life-giving, health-engendering influence upon your body, besides beautifying your countenance, enriching your voice, and making you ever more attractive in every way. And as it is true that in the degree that you hold thoughts of love for all, you call the same from them in return, and as these have a direct effect upon your mind, and through your mind upon your body, it is as so much life force added to your own from without. You are then continually building this into both your mental and physical life, and so your life is enriched by its influence.

Hatred and all its kindred emotions are the unnatural, the abnormal, the perversions, and so out of harmony with the eternal order of the universe. Or, if love is the fulfilling of the law, then these, its opposites, are direct violations of the law, and there can never be a violation of law without its attendant pain and suffering in one form or another. Law of Attraction: Mind Science. There is no escape from this. And what is the result of this particular form of violation? When you allow thoughts of anger, hatred, malice, jealousy, envy, criticism, or scorn to exercise sway, they have a corroding and poisoning effect upon the organism. They pull it down, and if allowed to continue, will eventually tear it to pieces by externalizing themselves in the particular forms of disease they give rise to. And then, in addition to the destructive influences from your own mind, you are continually calling the same influences from others, and these come as destructive forces, augmenting your own, thus aiding in the tearing down process. And so love inspires love; hatred breeds hatred. Love and goodwill stimulate and build up the body. Hatred and malice corrode and tear it down. Love is a saver of life unto life; hatred is a saver of death unto death.

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, there are souls that are pure and true. Then gift to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. Give love, and love to your heart will flow. Strengthen your utmost need; have faith, and a score of hearts will show their faith in your word and deed. I heard it said, how in regard to one who bears me hatred, towards whom I have entertained no such thoughts and feelings, and so has not been the cause of his becoming my enemy. This may be true, but the chances are that you will have but few enemies if there is nothing of an antagonistic nature in your mind and heart. Be sure there is nothing of this nature. But if hatred should come from another without apparent cause on your part, then meet it, from first to last, with thoughts of love and goodwill. In this way, you can, so to speak, so neutralize its effects that it cannot reach you, and so cannot harm you. Love is positive and stronger than hatred. Hatred can always be conquered by love. On the other hand, if you meet hatred with hatred, you simply intensify it. You Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom add fuel to the flame already kindled, upon which it will feed and grow, and so you increase and intensify the evil conditions. Nothing is to be gained by it; everything is to be lost.

By sending love for hatred, you will be able to neutralize it, that it will not only have no effect upon you, but it will not be able to even reach you. But more than this, you will, by this course, sooner or later, be able literally to transmute the enemy into the friend. Meet hatred with hatred, and you degrade yourself. Meet hatred with love, and you elevate not only yourself but also the one who bears you hatred. The Persian Sage has said: "Always meet pendulums with gentleness and perverseness with kindness." A gentle hand can lead even an elephant by a hair. Reply to the enemy with gentleness. Opposition to pieces. Sin. The Buddhist says: "If a man foolishly does me wrong, I will return in the protection of my gun, grudging love. The more evil comes from him, the more good shall go from me." "The wise man avenges injuries by benefits," says the Chinese. "Return good for evil. Overcome anger by love. Hatred never ceases by hatred, but by love," says the Hindu.

The truly wise man or woman will recognize no one as an enemy. Occasionally we hear the expression, "Never mind, I'll get even with him." Will you? And how will you do it? You can do it in one of two ways: You can, as if you have in mind, deal with him as he deals with you, apparently deals with you. Pay him, as we say, in his own coin. If you do this, you will get even with him by sinking yourself to his level, and both of you will suffer by it. Or you can show yourself the larger. You can send him love for hatred, kindness for ill-treatment, and so get even with him by raising him to the higher level. But remember that you can never help another without by that very act helping yourself. And if we get full of self, then in most all cases the value to you is greater than the service you render another. If you're ready to treat him as he treats you, then you shall clearly that there is in you that which draws the hatred and ill-treatment to you. You deserve what you are getting, and should not complain, nor would you complain if you were wise. By following the other course, you most effectually accomplish your purpose. You gain a victory for yourself, and at the same time, you do a great service for him, for which it is evident he stands greatly in need. Thus you become his savior. He, in turn, may become the savior of other error-making and consequently care-encumbered men and women. Many times the struggles are greater than we can ever know. We need more gentleness and sympathy and compassion in our common human life. Then we will neither blame or condemn. Instead of blaming or condemning, we will sympathize, and all the more we will comfort one another, for the way is often dreary, and the feet are often weary, and the heart is very sad. There is a heavy burden bearing when it seems that none are caring, and we have forget that ever we were glad. Comfort one another with the hand clasp close and tender, with the sweetness love can render, and the looks of friendly eyes. Do not wait with Grayson spoken wildlife daily bread is broken. Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom. Gentle speech is oft like mana from the skies.

When we come fully to realize the great fact that all evil and error and sin, with all their consequent sufferings, come through ignorance, then whenever we see a manifestation of these, in whatever form, if our hearts are right, we will have compassion, sympathy, and compassion for the one in whom we see them. Compassion will then change itself into love, and love will manifest itself in kindly service, such as the divine method. And so, instead of aiding and trampling and keeping a weaker one down, we will hold him up until he can stand alone and become the master. But all life growth is from within out, and one becomes a true master in the degree that the knowledge of the divinity of his own nature draws upon his inner consciousness and so brings him to a knowledge of the higher laws. And in no way can we so sexually hasten this dawning in the inner consciousness of another as by showing for the divinity within ourselves, simply by the way we live, by example and not by precept, by living not by preaching, by doing not by professing, by living the life, not by dogmatizing as to how it should be lived. There is no contagion equal to the contagion of life.

Whatever we sow, that shall we also reap, and each thing sown produces of its kind. We can kill not only by doing another bodily injury directly, but we can and we do kill by every antagonistic thought. Not only do we kill, but while we kill, we suicide. Many a man has been made sick by having the ill thoughts of a number of people centered upon him. Some have been actually killed. Put hatred into the world, and we make it a literal hell. But love into the world, and heaven, with all its beauties and glories, becomes a reality. Not to love is not to live, or it is to live a living death. The life that goes out in love to all is the life that is full and rich and continually expanding in beauty and in power. Such is the life that becomes even more inclusive, and hence larger in scope and influence. The larger the man and the woman, the more inclusive they are in their love and their friendships. The smaller the man and the woman, the more dwarf and dwindling their natures, the more they pride themselves upon their exclusiveness. Anyone, a fool. Law of Attraction: The secret power of infinite love and wisdom, or an idiot, can be exclusive. It comes easy. It takes and it signifies a large nature to be universal, to be inclusive. Only the man or woman of small, personal, self-centered, self-seeking nature is exclusive. The manner of the woman of a large, royal, oneself-centered nature never is. The small nature is the one that continually strives for affect. The larger nature never does. The one goes here and there in order to gain recognition, in order to attach himself to the world. The other stays at home and draws the world to him. The one loves merely himself. The other loves all the world, but in his larger love for all the world, he finds himself included. Barely them. The more one loves, the nearer he approaches to God, for God is the spirit of infinite love. And when we come into the realization of our oneness with this infinite spirit, then divine love so fills us that enriching and then rupturing our own wives, from them it flows out to enrich the life of all the world.

In coming into the realization of our oneness with the infinite life, we are brought at once into right relations with our fellow men. We are brought into harmony with the great law that we find our own wives in losing them in the service of others. We are brought to a knowledge of the fact that all life is one, and so that we are all parts of the one great hole. We then realize that we can't do for another without at the same time doing for ourselves. We also realize that we cannot do harm to another without by that very act doing harm to ourselves. We realized that the man who lives to himself alone lives a little dwarfed and stunted life because he has no part in this larger life of humanity. But the one who in service loses his own life in this larger life, as his own life increased and enriched a thousand or million fold. And every joy, every happiness, everything of value coming to each member of this greater whole comes us such to him, for he has a part in the life of age and all.

And here let it would be said in regard to true service. Peter and John Moore one day going up to the temple, and as they were entering the gate, they were met by a poor cripple who asked them for alms. Instead of giving him something to supply the day's needs and then leaving him in the same dependent condition for the morrow and tomorrow, Peter did him a real service, and a real service for all mankind, by saying, "Silver and gold I have none, but such as I have I give unto thee." And then he made him whole. Law of Attraction: The secret manifest create attract. He has brought him into the condition where he could help himself. In other words, the greatest service we can do for another is to help him to help himself. To help him directly might be weakening. Will not necessarily. It depends entirely upon circumstances. But to help one to help himself is never weakening, but always encouraging and strengthening, because it leads him to a larger and stronger life.

There is no better way to help one to help himself than to bring him to a knowledge of himself. There's no better way to bring one to a knowledge of himself than to lead him to a knowledge of the powers that are lying dormant within his own soul. There is nothing that will enable him to come more readily or more completely into an awakened knowledge of the powers that are lying dormant within his own soul than do bring him into the conscious vital realization of his oneness with the infinite life and power, so that he may open himself to it, in order that it may work and manifest through him. We will find that these same great truths lie at the very bottom of the solution of our social situation, and we will also find that we will never have a full and permanent solution of it until they are fully recognized and built upon wisdom and interior illumination.

This is the spirit of infinite wisdom, and in the degree that we open ourselves to it, does the highest wisdom manifest itself to and through us. We can, in this way, go to the very heart of the universe itself and find the mysteries hidden to the majority of mankind, hidden to them, though not hidden of themselves. In order for the highest wisdom and insight, we must have absolute confidence in the divine guiding us, but not through the channel of someone else. And why should we go to another for knowledge and wisdom? With God, there is no respecter of persons. Why should we seek these things secondhand? Why should we thus nullifying our own innate powers? Why should we not go direct to the infinite source itself? "If any man like wisdom, let him ask of God. Before they call, I will answer, and while there yet speaking, I will hear."

When we just go directly to the infinite source itself, we are no longer slaves to personalities, institutions, or books. We should always keep ourselves open to suggestions of truth from these agencies. We should always regard them as agencies, however, and never as sources. We should never recognize them as masters, but simply as teachers. With browning, we must recognize the great fact that the truth is within ourselves. It takes no rise from outward things. Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom. Whatever you may believe, there isn't a most center in us all where truth abides in formless. There is no more important injunction in all the world, nor one with a deeper interior meaning, than "to thine own self be true." In other words, be true to your own soul, for it is through your own soul that the voice of God speaks to you. This is the interior guide. This is the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world. This is conscience. This is intuition. This is the voice of the higher-self, the voice of the soul, the voice of God. "Thou shalt hear a voice behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it."

When Moses was on the mountain, it was after the various physical commotions and manifestations that he Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom heard the still small voice, the voice of his own soul, through which the infinite God was speaking. If we will but follow this voice of intuition, it will speak ever more clearly and more plainly until, by-and-by, it will be absolute and unerring in its guidance. The great trouble with us is that we do not listen to and do not follow this voice within our own souls, and so we become as a house divided against itself. We are pulled this way and that, and we are never certain of anything. I have a friend who listened so carefully to this inner voice, who, in other words, always acted quickly and so fully in accordance with his intuitions, and his life, as a consequence, is so absolutely guided by them that he always does the right thing at the right time and in the right way. He always knows when to act and how to act, and is never in the condition of a house divided against itself.

But someone says, "May it not be dangerous for us to act always upon our intuitions? Suppose we should have an intuition to do harm to someone." We need not be afraid of this, however, for the voice of the soul, this voice of God speaking through the soul, will never direct anyone to do harm to another, nor to do anything that is not in accordance with the highest standards of right and truth and justice. And if you at any time have a prompting of this kind, know that it is not the voice of intuition; it is some characteristic of your lower self that is prompting you. Reason is not to be set aside, but is to be continually loomed by this higher spiritual perception, and in the degree that it is the saloon will it become an agent of light and power.

When one becomes thoroughly individualized, he enters into the realm of all knowledge and wisdom. And to be individualized is to recognize no power outside of the infinite power that is back of all. When one recognizes this great fact and opens himself to the spirit of infinite wisdom, even enters upon the road to the true education, and mysteries that before were closed now reveal themselves to him. This must indeed be the foundation of all true education, this evolving from within, this evolving of what has been involved by the infinite power. All things that is valuable for us to know will come to us if we will but open ourselves to the voice of this infinite spirit. It is thus that we become seers and have the power of seeing into the very heart of things. There are no new stars, there are no new laws or forces, but we can so open ourselves to the spirit of infinite wisdom that we can discover and recognize those that have the Law of Attraction: Science, infinite mind, not been known before, and in this way, they become new to us.

When in this way we come into a knowledge of truth, we no longer need facts that are continually changing. We can then enter into the quiet of our own interior cells. We can open the window and look out, and thus gather the facts as we choose. This is true wisdom. Wisdom is the knowledge of God. Wisdom comes by intuition. It far transcends knowledge. Great knowledge, knowledge of many things, may be had by virtue simply of a very retentive memory. It comes by tuition, but wisdom far transcends knowledge, in that knowledge is a mere incident of this deeper wisdom. He who would enter into the realm of wisdom must first divest himself of all intellectual pride. He must become as a little child. Prejudices, preconceived opinions, and beliefs always stand in the way of true wisdom. Conceded opinions are always suicidal in their influences. They bar the door to the entrance of truth. All about us we see men in the religious world, in the world of science, in the political, in the social world, who through intellectual pride are so wrapped in their own conceits and prejudices that larger and later revelations of truth can find no entrance to them, and instead of growing and expanding, they are becoming dwarfed and stunted, and still more incapable of receiving truth. Instead of actively aiding in the process of the world, they are as so many dead sticks in the way that would retard the wheels of progress. This, however, they could never do. Such always in time get bruised, broken, and left behind, while God's triumphal car of truth move steadily onward.

When the steam engine was still being experimented with, and before it was perfected sufficiently to come into practical use, a well-known Englishman, well-known then in scientific circles, wrote an extended pamphlet proving that it would be impossible for it ever to be used in ocean navigation, that is, in a trip involving the crossing of the ocean, because it would be utterly impossible for any vessel to carry with it sufficient coal for the use of its furnace. And the interesting feature of the whole matter was that the very first thing vessel that made the trip from England to America had among its cargo a part of the first edition of this carefully prepared pamphlet. There was only one addition. Many editions might be sold now. This seems indeed an amusing fact, but far more amusing is the man who voluntarily closes himself to truth. Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom because, forsooth, that does not come through conventional or Orthodox or here 24 accepted channels, or because it may not be in full accord with, or possibly maybe opposed to, established usages or beliefs. On the contrary, let there be many windows in your soul that all the glory of the universe may beautify it. Not the narrow pain of one poor creek can catch the radiant raise that shine from countless sources. Tear away the blinds of superstition. Let the light pour through fair windows brought his truth itself, and highest heaven to your heir to all the worlds. This music of the stars and to the voice of nature, and your heart shall turn to truth and goodness as the plant turns to the Sun. A thousand unseen hands reach down to help you to their peace crown heights, and all the forces of the firmament shall fortify your strength. Be not afraid to thrust the site half-truths and grasp the whole.

There is a great law in connection with the coming of truth. It is this: Whenever a man or woman shuts himself or herself to the entrance of truth on account of intellectual pride, preconceived opinions, prejudices, or for whatever reason, there is a great law which says that truth, in its fullness, will come to that one from the source. And on the other hand, when a man or woman opens himself or herself fully to the entrance of truth, from wherever source it may come, there's an equally great law which says that truth will flow to him or to her from all sources, from all quarters. Such becomes the free man, the free woman, for it is the truth that makes us free. The other remains in bondage, for truth has no invitation and will not enter word is not fully and freely welcomed, and where truth is denied entrance, the rich blessings that carries with it cannot take up their abode. On the contrary, when this is the case, it sends an invoice carrying with it atrophy, disease, death, physically and spiritually, as well as intellectually. And the man who would rob another of his free and unfettered search for truth, who would stand as the interpreter of truth for another with the intent of remaining in this position rather than endeavoring to lead him to the place where he can be his own interpreter, is more to be shown than a thief and robber. The injury he worked as far greater, for he is doing Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom direct and positive injury to the very life of the one he this holds. Who has ever appointed any man, whoever he may be, as the keeper, the custodian, the dispenser of God's immutable truth? Many indeed are moved and so are called to be teachers of truth, but the true teacher will never stand as the interpreter of truth for another. The true teacher is the one who's endeavor is to bring the one he teaches to a true knowledge of himself, and hence of his own interior powers, that he may become his own interpreter. All others are generally speaking, those animated by purely personal motives, self-aggrandizement, or personal gain. Moreover, he would claim to have all the truth and the only truth is a bigot, a fool, or a knave.

In the Eastern literature is a fable of a frog. The frog lived in a well, and out of his little well, he had never been. One day, a frog whose home was in the sea came to as well. Interested in all things, he went in. "Who are you? Or do you live?" said the frog in the well. "I am so-so, and my home is in the sea." "The sea? What is that? Where is that?" "It is a very large body of water, and not far away." "All because you're see all very big?" "As big as this," pointing to a little stone. "Line there?" "Oh, much better." "Here, as big as this," pointing to the board upon which they were sitting. "Oh, much bigger." "How much bigger?" "Then why the sea in which I live is bigger than your entire well? It would make millions of well such as yours." "Nonsense, nonsense! You were deceiver and a falsifiers. Get out of my well! Get out of my well! I want nothing to do with any such frogs as you." "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," is the promise. "He shall close yourselves to truth, he shall live in your own conceits, and your own conceits shall make fools and idiots of you." Would be a statement applicable to not a few, and do not a few who pride themselves upon their superior intellectual attainments. Idiocy is arrested mental growth. Closing oneself, for whatever reason, to truth and hence to growth brings a certain type of idiocy, though it may not be called by this name. On the other hand, another type is that arrested drove caused by taking all things for granted without proving them for oneself, merely because they come from a particular person, a particular book, a particular institution. This is caused by one's always looking without instead of being true to the light within and carefully tending it, that it may give an ever-clear light. With brave and intrepid Walt Whitman, we should be able to say: "From this hour, hour day, myself loose of limits, an imaginary line, going where I list, my own master, total and absolute, listening to others, considering well what they say, pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating gently, but with undeniable will, divest myself of the holes that would hold me." Great should be the joy that God's boundless truth is open to all, open equally to all, and that it will make each one is dwelling place in proportion as he earnestly desires it and opens himself to it.

And in regard to the wisdom that guides us in our daily life, there is nothing that is right and well for us to know that may not be known when we recognize the law of its coming and are able wisely to use it. Let us Law of Attraction: Manifest, create, attract know that all things are ours as soon as we know how to appropriate them. I hold it as a changeless law from which no soul can swear swerve: we have that in each of us which will draw whatever we need for most deserve. If the time comes when we know not what course to pursue, when we know not which way to turn, the fault lies in ourselves. If the fault lies in ourselves, then the correction of this unnatural condition was also in ourselves. It is never necessary to come into such a state if we are awake and remain awake to the light and the powers within us. The light is ever shining, and the only thing that is necessary for us diligently to c 2 is that we permit neither this thing nor that to come between us and the light. "With is the Fountain of Life; in my light shall we see light."

Let us hear the words of one of the most highly Alou men I've ever known, and one who has a consequence is never in the dark when the time comes as to what to do and how to do it. Whenever you are in doubt as to the course you should pursue, after you've turned to every outward means of guidance, let the inward IC, let the inward here, here, and allow this simple, natural, beautiful process to go on unimpeded by questions or doubts. In all dark hours and times of unwanted perplexity, we need to follow one simple direction found, as all needed directions can be found, in the deeral gospel which so many read, but alas, so few interpret: "Enter into the inner chamber and shut the door." Does this mean that we must literally be take ourselves to a private closet with a key in the door? If it did, then the command could never be obeyed in the open air, on land or sea, and the Christ loved the lakes and the forest for better than the cramping rooms of city dwelling houses. Still, his counsels are so wide-reaching that there is no spot on earth and no conceivable situation in which any of us may be placed where we cannot follow them.

One of the most intuitive men we ever met at a desk in the city office, for several other gentlemen were doing business constantly and often talking loudly, entirely Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom undisturbed by the many various sounds about him, this self-centered, faithful man would, in any moment of perplexity, draw the curtains of privacy so completely about him that he would be as fully enclosed in his own psychic order and thereby as effectually removed from all distractions as though he were alone in some primeval wood, taking his difficulty with him into the mystic silence in the form of a direct question to which expected a certain answer. He would remain utterly passive and tell the reply came, and never once through many years' experience did he find himself disappointed or misled. Intuitive perceptions of truth, or the daily bread to satisfy our daily hunger, they come like mana from the desert, day by day. Each day brings adequate supply for that day's need, only they must be followed instantly, for dalliance with them means their obscure ation, and the more we dally, the more we invite erroneous impressions to cover intuition with a pall of conflicting moral fantasy born of illusions of the and well. One condition is imposed by universal law, and this we must obey, but all wishes aside, and save the one desire to know truth, couple with this one demand, the fully concentrated determination to follow what is distinctly perceived as truth immediately it is revealed. No other infection must be permitted to share the field with this all-absorbing love of truth for its own sake. Obey this one direction, and never forget that expectation and desire are bride and groom and forever inseparable, and you will soon find your hitherto darken way girl luminous with celestial radians, for with the heaven within, all levels without incessantly cooperate. This may be termed going into the silence. This it is to perceive and to be guided by the light that lighteth of every man that cometh into the world. This it is to listen to and be guided by the voice of your own soul, the voice of your higher-self. The soul is divine, and in allowing it to become translucent to the infinite spirit, it reveals all things to us. As man turns away from the Divine Light, do all things become hidden. There's nothing hidden of itself. When the spiritual senses opened, then it transcends all the limitations of the Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom, physical senses and the intellect, and in the degree that we are able to get away from the limitation set by them and realize that so far as the real life is concerned, it is one with the infinite life, then we begin to reach the place where this voice will always speak, where it will never fail us if we follow it, and as a consequence, where we will always have the divine illumination and guidance. To know this and to live in this realization is not to live in heaven hereafter, but who live in heaven here and now, today and everyday. No human soul need be without it. When we turn our face in the right direction, it comes as simply and as naturally as the flower blooms and the wind blows. It is not to be bought with money or with price. It is a condition waiting simply to be realized by rich, by poor, by King and peasant, by master and by servant, the world over. All are equal errors to it, and so the peasant, if he find it first, lives a life are transcending in beauty and in real power at the life of his King. The servant, if he finds it first, lives a life surpassing the life of his master. If you would find the highest, the fullest, and the riches life that not only this world but any world Canole, then do away with the sense of the separateness of your life from the life of God. Hold to the thought of your oneness. In the degree that you do this, you will find yourself realizing it more and more, and as this life of realization has lived, you will find that no good thing will be with help, for all things are included in this. Then it will be yours without fears or forebodings, simply to do today what your hands find to do, and so be ready for tomorrow when it comes, knowing that tomorrow will bring tomorrow supplies for the mental, the spiritual, and the physical life. Remember, however, that tomorrow supplies are not needed until tomorrow comes. If one is willing to trust himself fully to the law, the law will never fail him. It is the half-hearted trusting to it that brings uncertain and so unsatisfactory results. Nothing is firmer and surer than deity. It will never fail the one who throws himself wholly upon it. The secret of life, then, is to live continually in this realization, whatever one may be doing, wherever one maybe, by day and by night, both waking and sleeping. It can be lived in while we are sleeping, no less than when we are awake. And here shall we consider a few facts in connection with sleep, in connection with receiving instruction and illumination while asleep. During the process of sleep, it is merely the physical body that is at rest and quiet. The soul life, with all its activities, goes right on. Sleep is Law of Attraction: Tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom nature's provision for the recuperation of the body, for the rebuilding, and hence the replacing of the waste that is continually going on during the waking hours. It is nature's great restore. If sufficient sleep is not allowed the body so that the rebuilding may equalize the wasting process, the body is gradually depleted and weakened, and any ailment or malady, when it is in this condition, is able to find more ready entrance. It is for this reason that those who are subject to it will take cold, as we term it, more readily when the body is tired or exhausted through loss of sleep than that of most any other time. The body is in that condition where outside influences can have a more ready effective on it than when it is in its normal condition, and when they do have an effect, they always go to the weaker portions first.

Our bodies are given us to serve far higher purposes than we ordinarily use them for, especially is this true in the numerous cases where the body is master of its owner. In the degree that we come into the realization of the higher powers of the mind and spirit, in that degree does the body, through their influence upon it, become less gross and heavy, fire in its texture and form. And then, because the mine finds a kingdom of enjoyment in itself and in all the higher things it becomes related to, excesses in eating and drinking, as well as all others, naturally and of their own accord fall away. They're also falls away the desire for the heavier, grocer, less valuable kinds of food and drink, such as the flesh of animals, alcoholic drinks, and all things of the class that stimulate the body and the passions rather than build the body and the brain into a strong, clean, well-nourished, and fibers condition. In the degree that the body becomes less gross and heavy, fire in its texture and form, there is less waste, and what there is is more easily replaced, so that it keeps in a more regular and even condition. When this is true, less sleep is actually required, and even the amount that is taken does more for a body of this finer type than it can do for one of the other nature. As the body in this way grows finer, in other words, as the process of

Its evolution is thus accelerated. It, in turn, helps the mind and the soul in the realization of ever higher perceptions. And this body helps mind the same as mind builds body.

It was undoubtedly this fact that Browning had in mind when he said, "Let us cry, 'Law of Attraction!' Attract, manifest, create! All good things are ours." Nor soul helps flesh more now than flesh helps soul.

Sleep, then, is for the resting and the rebuilding of the body. The soul needs no rest. And while the body is at rest in sleep, the soul life is active, the same as when the body is in activity. There are some having a deep insight into the soul's activities who say that we travel when we sleep. Some are able to recall and bring over into the conscious waking life the scenes visited, the information gained, and the events that have transpired. Most people are not able to do this, and so much that might otherwise be gained is lost. They say, however, that it is in our power, in proportion as we understand the laws, to go where we will and to bring over into the conscious waking life all the experiences.

This game be this, however as it may. It certainly is true that while sleeping we have the power, in a perfectly normal and natural way, to get much of value by way of light, instruction, and growth that the majority of people now miss. If the soul life, that which relates us to the infinite spirit, is always active even while the body is addressed, why may not the mind so direct conditions as one falls asleep that while the body is at rest, it may continually receive illumination from the soul and bring with it thus received over into the conscious waking life?

This indeed can be done, and it is done by some to great advantage. And many times the highest inspirations from the soul come in this way, as would seem most natural, since at this time all communications from the outer material world no longer enter. Nobles who do much work during sleep, the same as they get much light along desired lines by charging the mind on going to sleep as to a particular time for waking, it is possible, as many of us all, to wake on the very minute. Not infrequently we have examples of difficult problems, problems that defied solution during waking hours, being solved during sleep.

A friend, a well-known journalist, had an extended newspaper article clearly and completely worked out for her in this way. She frequently calls this agency to her aid. She was notified by the managing editor, "Law of Attraction, tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom," one evening to have the article ready in the morning. An article requiring more than ordinary care, and one in which quite a knowledge of facts was required. It was a matter in connection with which she knew scarcely anything, and all her efforts at finding information regarding that seemed to be of no avail. She said to work, but it seemed as if her own powers defied her. Failure seemed imminent. Almost in desperation, she decided to retire and putting the matter into her mind in such a way that she would be able to receive the greatest amount of aid while asleep. She fell asleep and slept soundly until morning, when she awoke. Her work of the previous evening was the first thing that came into her mind. She, like quietly for a few minutes, and as she lay there, the article completely written seemed to stand before her mind. She ran through it all rolls and without dressing took her pen and transcribed it onto paper, literally acting as her own amanuensis.

The mind acting intently along a particular line will continue so to act until some other object of thought carries it along another line. And since in sleep only the body is in quiet while the mind and soul are active, then the mind on being given a certain direction when one drops off to sleep will take up the line along which it is directed and can be made in time to bring over into consciousness the result of its activities. Some will be able very soon to get results of this kind. For some, it will take longer. Quiet and continued effort will increase the faculty.

Then by virtue of the law of the drawing power of the mind, since the mind is always active, we are drawing to us even while sleeping influences from the realms kindred to those in which we, in our thoughts, are living before we fall asleep. In this way, we can put ourselves into relation with whatever kind of influence we choose and accordingly gain much during the process of sleep. In many ways, the interior faculties are more open and receptive while we are in sleep than while we are awake. Is the necessity of exercising even greater care as to the nature of the thoughts that occupy the mind as we enter into sleep? Further, can come to us only what we, by our own order of thought, attract. We have it entirely in our own hands. And for the same reason, this greater degree of receptivity during this period, we are able by understanding and using the law to gain much of value more readily in this way than when the physical senses are fully open to the material world about us.

Many will find a practice somewhat after the following nature of value. When light or information is desired along any particular line, light or information you feel is right and wise for you to have, as for example, light in regard to an uncertain course of action, then as you retire, first bring your mind into the attitude of peace and goodwill for all. You, in this way, bring yourself into a harmonious condition and in turn attract yourself to the same peaceful conditions. "Law of Attraction, tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom," from without. Then, resting in this sense of peace, quietly and calmly send out your earnest desire for the needed light or information. Cast out of your mind all fears or forebodings. Let them come not, for in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. Take the expected attitude of mind, firmly believing and expecting that when you awake, the desired results will be with you.

Then, on awaking, before any thoughts or activities from the outside world come in to absorb the attention, remain for a little while receptive to the intuitions or the impressions that come. When they come, when they manifest themselves clearly, then act upon them without delay. In the degree that you do this, in that degree will the power of doing it ever more effectively grow. Or if we run selfish purposes, you desire to grow and develop any of your faculties or to increase the health and strength of your body, take a corresponding attitude of mind. The form of which will readily suggest itself in accordance with your particular needs or desires. In this way, you will open yourself to, you will connect yourself with, and you will set into operation within yourself the particular order of forces that will make these results. Don't be afraid to voice your desires. In this way, you set into operation vibratory forces which go out and which make their impress felt somewhere and which, arousing into activity or united with other forces, set about to actualize your desires. No good thing shall be withheld from who lives in harmony with the higher laws and forces. There are no desires that shall not be satisfied to the one who knows and who wisely uses the powers with which he or she is endowed.

Your sleep will be more quiet and peaceful and refreshing, and so your power increased mentally, physically, and spiritually, simply by sending out as you fall asleep thoughts of love and goodwill, thoughts of peace and harmony for all. In this way, you are connecting yourself with all the forces in the universe that make for peace and harmony.

A friend who is known the world over through his work along humane lines has told me many times in the middle of the night, he is awakened suddenly, and there comes to his mind as a flash of inspiration a certain plan in connection with his work, and as he lays there quietly and opens himself to it, the methods for its successful carrying out all reveal themselves to him clearly. In this way, many plans are entered upon and brought to its successful culmination that otherwise would never be thought of, plans that seem indeed marvelous to the world at large. Is a man with a sensitive organism, his life in thorough harmony with the higher laws and given holy and unreservedly to the work to which is dedicated? It just how and from what source these inspirations come, he does not fully know. Possibly no one does, though each may have his theory. But this we do know, and it is all we need to know, at least not to the one who lives in harmony with the higher laws of his being and who opens himself to them, they come. Visions and inspirations of the highest order will come to the degree that we make for them the right conditions.

One who has studied deeply into the subject in hand has said to receive education spiritually while the body is resting, and sleep is a perfectly normal and orderly experience and would occur definitely and satisfactorily in the lives of all of us if we paid more attention to internal and consequently less to the external states with their supposed but unreal necessities. Our thoughts make us what we are here and hereafter, and our thoughts are often busier by night than by day, for when we are asleep to the exterior, we can be wide awake to the interior world, and the unseen world is a substantial place, the conditions of which are entirely regulated by mental and moral attainments. When we are not deriving information throughout word avenues of sensation, we are receiving instruction through interior channels of perception. "Law of Attraction, tune in to the secret power of infinite love and wisdom."

And when this fact is understood for what it is worth, it will become a universal custom for persons to take to sleep with them the special subject on which the most earnestly desire particular instruction. The Pharaoh type of person dreams, and so does his butler and baker, but the Joseph type, which is that of the truly gifted seer, both dreams and interprets. But why had Pharaoh the power of interpreting his dreams? Why was Joseph the type of the truly gifted seer? Why did he not only dream but also had the power to interpret both his own dreams and the dreams of others? Simply read the lives of the two. See who runs my read in Altru power. It is after all living the life that tells, and in proportion as one lives the life does he not only attain to the highest power and joy for himself, but he also becomes of ever greater service to all the world.

One may remain in know how longer than himself chooses to, and the moment he chooses not to remain longer, not all the powers in the universe can prevent his leaving it. One can rise to any heaven he himself chooses, and when he chooses so to rise, all the powers of the universe combined to help him heavenward.

When one wakes from sleep and so returns to conscious life, he is in a particular receptive and impressionable state. All relations with the material world have for a time been shut off. The mind is in a freer and more natural state, resembling somewhat sensitive plate, or impressions can readily leave their traces. This is why many times the highest interest impressions come to one in the early morning hours before the activities of the day and their "Law of Attraction, Mind Science, Infinite Wisdom" attendant distractions have exerted an influence. This is one reason why many people can do their best work in the early hours of the day.

But this fact is also a most valuable one in connection with the molding of everyday life. The mind is at this time a clean sheet of paper. We can most valuable use this quiet, receptive, impression of period by wisely directing the activities of the mind along the highest and most desirable paths and thus, so to speak, set the pace for the rest of the day. Each morning is a fresh beginning. We are, as it were, just beginning life. We have it entirely in our own hounds, and when the morning with its fresh beginning comes, all yesterday's should be yesterday's with which we have nothing to do. Sufficient is it to know that the way we lived our yesterday has determined for us our today. And again, when the morning with its fresh beginning comes, all tomorrow should be tomorrow's with which we have nothing to do. Sufficient to know that the way we live our today determines our tomorrow.

Every day is a fresh beginning. Every morning is the world made a new. You who are weary of sorrow and singing, there is a beautiful hope for you, a hole for me, and hope for you all. The past things are passed and over. The tasks are done, and the tears are shed. Yesterday's errors, let yesterday cover. Yesterday's wounds which smarted and bled are healed with the healing which mind has shed. Let them go since we cannot relieve them, cannot undo, and cannot atone. God in His mercy receive, forgive them. Only the new days, our own today's hours, and today alone. Here are the skies all burnished brightly. Here's the spent earth all reborn. Here are the tired limbs springing lightly to face the Sun and to share with the morn in the chrism of dew and the cool of dawn. Every day is a fresh beginning. Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain, and spite of all sorrow and older sinning and puzzles forecasted and possible pain, take heart with a day and begin again.

Simply the first hour of this new day, with all its richness and glory, with all its sublime and eternity-determining possibilities, and each succeeding hour as it comes, but not before it comes. This is the secret of character building. This simple method will bring anyone to the realization of the highest life that can be even conceived of, and there is nothing in this connection that can be conceived of of that cannot be realized somehow, some when, somewhere. This brings such a life within the possibilities of all, for there is no one, if really in earnest and if he really desires it, who cannot live to his highest for a single hour. But even though there should be, if he is only earnest in his endeavor, then through the law that like builds like, he will be able to come a little nearer to it the next hour, and still nearer the next, and the next, until sooner or later comes the time when it becomes the natural, and any other would require effort.

In this way, one becomes in love and in league with the highest and best in the universe, and as a consequence, the highest and best in the universe becomes in love and in league with him. They aid him at every turn. They seem literally to move all things his way because, forsooth, he has first moved their way.
