law of attraction the science of self control (mind)
the science of self-control
we live in a scientific age man of
science are numbered by thousands and
they are ceaselessly searching analyzing
and experimenting with a view to
discovery and the increase of knowledge
the shells of our libraries both public
and private are heavy with their load of
imposing volumes on scientific subjects
and the wonderful achievements of modern
science are always before us whether in
our homes or in our streets in country
or town on land or sea there shall we
have before us a marvelous device some
recent accomplishment of science for
adding to our comfort increasing our
speed or saving the labor of our hands
yet with all our vast store of
scientific knowledge and it's startling
and rapidly increasing results in the
world of discovery and invention there
is in this age one branch of science
which has so far fallen into decay as to
have become almost forgotten a science
nevertheless which is of greater
importance than all the other Sciences
combined and without which all science
would but observe the ends of
selfishness and aid in man's destruction
i refer to the science of self-control
law of attraction the science of self control (mind) are modern scientists study the elements
and forces which are outside themselves
with the object of controlling and
utilizing them the ancient studied the
elements and forces which were within
themselves with a view to controlling
and utilizing them and the ancients
produce such mighty masters of knowledge
in this direction that to this day they
are held in references gods and the vast
religious organizations of the world are
based upon their achievements
wonderful as are the forces in nature
they are vastly inferior to that
combination of intelligent forces which
comprise the mind of man and which
dominate and direct the blind mechanical
forces of nature therefore it follows
that to understand control and directly
and her forces of passion desire will
and intellect is to be in possession of
the destinies of men and nations as an
ordinary science there are in this
divine science degrees of attainment and
a man is great in knowledge great in
himself and great in his influence on
the world in the measure that he is
great and self-control law of attraction the science of self control (mind)
he who understands and dominates the
forces of external nature is the natural
scientist but he who understands and
dominates the internal forces of the
mind is the divine scientists and the
laws which operate in gaining knowledge
of external appearances operate also in
gathering a knowledge of internal
varieties a man cannot become an
accomplished scientist in a few weeks or
months may not even in a few years but
only after many years of painstaking
investigation can he speak with
authority and be ranked among the
Masters of Science likewise a man cannot
acquire self-control and become
possessed of the wisdom and peace giving
knowledge which self-control confers but
by many years of patient labor
a labor which is all the more arduous
because it is silent and both
unrecognized and unappreciated by others
and he who would pursue this science
successfully must learn to stand alone
and to toll unrewarded
as far as any outward emolument is
concerned the natural scientists pursues
in acquiring his particular kind of
law of attraction the science of self control (mind) knowledge the following five orderly and
sequential steps one observation that is
he closely and persistently observes the
facts of nature to experiment having
become acquainted by repeated
observations with certain facts he
experiments with those facts with a view
to the discovery of natural law he puts
his fax rigid processes of analysis and
so finds out what is useless and what a
value and he rejects the former and
retains the latter three classification
having accumulated and verified a
massive facts by numberless observations
and experiments he commences to classify
those facts to arrange them in orderly
groups with the object of discovering
some underlying law some hidden and
unifying principle which governs
regulates and binds together these facts
for deduction does he passes on to the
four-step of deduction from the facts
and results which are before him he
discovered certain variable modes of
action and this reveals the hidden law
things five knowledge
having proven and establish certain laws
it may be set of such a man that he
knows he is a scientist a man of
knowledge but the attainment of
scientific knowledge is not the end
great as it is men do not attain law of attraction the science of self control (mind)
knowledge for themselves alone nor to
keep it locked secretly in their hearts
like a beautiful jewel in a dark chest
the end of such knowledge is use service
the increase of the comfort and
happiness of the world
thus when a man has become a scientist
he gives the world the benefit of his
knowledge and unselfishly bestows upon
mankind the results of all his Labor's
that's beyond knowledge there is a
further step of use that is the right
and unselfish use of the knowledge
acquired the application of knowledge to
invention for the commonweal it will be
noted that the five steps or processes
enumerated follow an orderly succession
and that no man can become a scientist
who will miss any one of them without
the first step of systematic observation
for instance he could not even enter the
realm of knowledge of nature's secrets
at first the searcher for such knowledge
has before him a universe of things
these things he does not understand many
of them indeed seem to be irreconcilably
law of attraction the science of self control (mind) opposed one to the other and there is
apparent confusion but by patiently and
laborious Lee pursuing these five
processes he discovers the order nature
and essence of things perceives the
central law or laws which bind them
together in harmonious relationship
and so puts an end to confusion and
ignorance as with the natural scientist
so with the divine scientist he must
pursue with the same self-sacrificing
diligence five progressive steps in the
attainment of self-knowledge
self-control these five steps are the
same as with the natural scientist but
the process is reversed the mine instead
of being centered upon external things
is turned back upon itself and the
investigations are pursued in the realm
of the mind or of one's own mind instead
of in that of matter
at first the searcher for divine
knowledge is confronted with that
massive desires passions emotions ideas
and intellection which he calls himself
which is the basis of all his actions
and from which his life proceeds this
combination of invisible yet powerful
forces appears confusedly some of them
stand apparently in direct conflict with
each other without any appearance or
hope of reconciliation his mind in its
entirety to with his life which proceeds
from that mind does not seem to have any
equippable relation to many other minds
and lives about him and altogether there
is a condition of pain and confusion
from which he would fain escape
thus he begins by keenly realizing his
state of ignorance for no one could
acquire either natural or divine law of attraction the science of self control (mind)
knowledge if he were convinced that
without study or labor he already
possessed it with such perception of
one's ignorance
here comes the desire for knowledge and
the novice and self-control enters upon
the ascending pathway in which are the
following five steps 1 introspection
this coincides with the observation of
the natural scientists the mental eye is
turned like a searchlight upon the inner
things of the mind and it's subtle and
ever very processes are observed and
carefully noted this stepping aside from
selfish gratifications from the
excitement's of worldly pleasures and
ambitions in order to observe with the
object of understanding one's nature is
the beginning of self-control either to
the man has been blindly and importantly
borne along by the impulses of his
nature
the mere creature of things and
circumstances but now he puts a check
upon his impulses and instead of being
controlled begins to control to
self-analysis having observed the
tendencies of the mind they are then
closely examined and are put through a
rigid process of analysis the evil
tendencies those that produce painful
effects are separated from the good
tendencies those that produce peaceful
effects and the various tendencies with
the particular actions they produce and
the definite results which invariably
spring from these actions are gradually
grass by the understanding which is at
last in able to follow them in their
swift and subtle interplay and profound
ramifications law of attraction the science of self control (mind)
it is a process of testing improving and
for the searcher a period of being
tested improved three adjustment by this
time the practical student of things
divine has clearly before him every
tendency an aspect of his nature down to
the profoundest promptings of his mind
and the most subtle motives of his heart
there is not a spot or corner left which
he has not explored and illuminated with
the light of self-examination
Shin he is familiar with every week and
selfish . every strong and virtuous
quality it is considered the height of
wisdom to be able to see ourselves as
others see us but the practitioner of
self-control goes far beyond this
he not only sees himself as others see
him he sees himself as he is the
standing face-to-face with himself not
striving to hide away from any secret
fault no longer defending himself with
Pleasant flatteries either under rating
or overrating himself or his powers and
no more cursed with self-praise or self
pity he sees the full magnitude of the
task which lies before him seize dearly
ahead the heights of self-control and
knows what work he has to do to reach
them
he is no longer in a state of confusion
but has gained a glimpse of the laws
which operate in the world of thought
and he now begins to adjust his mind in
accordance with those laws
this is a process of weeding sifting
cleansing as the farmer weeds cleans and
prepares the ground for his crops so the
student removes the weeds of evil from
law of attraction the science of self control (mind) his mind cleanses and purifies it
preparatory to sowing the seeds of
righteous actions which shall produce
the harvest of a well-ordered life for
righteousness having adjusted his
thoughts and deeds to those minor laws
which operate in mental activities in
the production of pain and pleasure
unrest in peace sorrow and bliss he now
perceived that there is involved in
those laws one great central law
which like the law of gravitation in the
natural world is supreme in the world of
mind a law to which all thoughts and
deeds are subservient and by which they
are regulated and kept in their proper
sphere there is the law of justice or
righteousness which is universal and
supreme to this law he now conforms
instead of thinking and acting blindly
as the nature is stimulated and appeal
to by outward things he subordinates his
thoughts and deeds to this central
principle he no longer acts himself but
does what is right what is universally
and eternally right he is no longer the
abject slave of his nature and
circumstances he is the master of his
nature and circumstances he is no longer
carry Hitler and tether on the forces of
his mind he controls and guides those
forces to the accomplishment of his
purposes that's having his nature and
control and subjugation not thinking
thoughts nor doing deeds which oppose
the righteous law and which therefore
that law dulls was suffering and defeat
he rises above the Dominion of sin and
sorrow ignorance and out and is strong
calm and peaceful five fewer knowledge
by thinking right and acting right law of attraction the science of self control (mind)
he proves by experience the existence of
the divine law on which the mind is
framed and which is the guiding and
unifying principle and all human affairs
and events whether individual or
national thus by perfecting himself and
self-control he acquires divine
knowledge he reaches the point where it
may be said of him
as of the natural scientists that he
knows he has mastered the science of
self-control and has brought knowledge
out of ignorance order out of confusion
he has acquired that knowledge of self
which includes knowledge of all men that
knowledge of one's own life which
embraces knowledge of all lives as for
all mines are the same in essence
differing only in degree are framed upon
the same law and the same thoughts and
acts by whatsoever individual they are
wrought will always produce the same
results but this divine in peace
bestowing knowledge as in the case of
the natural scientist is not gained for
one's own self alone for this were so
the aim of evolution would be frustrated
and it is not in the nature of things to
fall short of ripening an accomplishment
and indeed he who thought to gain this
knowledge solely for his own happiness
would most surely fail so beyond the
fifth step of pure knowledge there is
still a further one of wisdom which is
the right application of the knowledge
acquired the pouring out upon the world
unselfishly and without stint the
results of one's Labor's thus law of attraction the science of self control (mind)
accelerating progress and uplifting
humanity it may be set of men who have
knock-on back into their own nature to
control and purify it that they cannot
clearly distinguish between good and
evil right and wrong they reach after
those things which they think will give
them pleasure and try to avoid those
things which they believe will cause
them pain the source of their actions
itself and they only discover right
painfully and in a fragmentary way by
periodically passing through severe
sufferings and lashings of conscious but
he who practices self-control passing
through the five processes which are
five stages of growth
gains that knowledge which enables him
to act from the moral law which sustains
the universe he knows good and evil
right and wrong and that's knowing them
lives in accordance with good and right
he no longer needs to consider what is
pleasant or what is unpleasant but he
does what is right
his nature is in harmony with his
conscience and there is no remorse
his mind is in unison with the great law
and there is no more suffering and sin
for him evil has ended and good as all in all
