law of attraction the secret of i am a higher plane of consciousness
the secret of I am many of us are
accustomed to thinking of ourselves on
the physical plane alone we think of the
ego the eye of ourselves we pictured as
a human body with organs ranging from
the finest the brain down to those of
coarser atomic structure 21 living on
this plane of consciousness the body is
the real self and the mind but an
appendage to the body such a man speaks
in my mind or my soul as he speaks of my
hat my coat my shoes as things belonging
to him which he uses but which are not
him to him the body is the real man to
mind something useful to the body the
spirit a nebulous hypotheticals
something of which he has been a hazy
idea and no consciousness others picture
there I as intellect or mind having
control of the body and its organs and
having an abode in the brain or brains
of the human being to these people to
intellect the real self in fact too many
of this class the intellect elevated to
the position of God and they bowed down
to and worship it
they realized the subjection of the body
to the mind and are aware of the
wonderful power of the ladder over the
particular body under its control the
bodies of others the minds of others to
them the intellect is the highest self
identical with the spirit they are
conscious of the wonderful workings of
the mind but are conscious of nothing
higher to some of them death seems to
end all their idea of mind being that it
is a product of the brain others feel
that somehow somewhere their intellect
will maintain its existence but it is
"law of attraction" the secret of i am a higher plane of consciousness
merely a belief for Hope based upon the
words of others who have claimed
authority to speak they have no
consciousness of pre-existence or future
existence no perception of that real
self which knows itself to be eternal
the third-class have so far progressed
along the path of life that they have
crossed the borders of a new plane of
consciousness they are in a strange land
they see no familiar landmarks they do
not recognize the country that lies
before them their friends who may have
left just a few feet behind across the
border do not seem to realize the
difference too short distances made to
those who have traveled it and therefore
doubt the prospect seen from the new
point of view those who have crossed the
border find that they have acquired a
consciousness of a real existence the I
consciousness has passed beyond the
intellectual plane and is able to look
back to that plane and the one still
further back the physical plant
I recognize the value of both mind and
body regards them both is but
instruments tools are servants with
which to work
I feel that it has existed from the
beginning beginning there was and will
exist until the end it in there be
I feel the Keen pleasure and mere
existence and then now i knows itself to
be a part of the whole thing knows that
the universe is a tone i knows itself to
be a tiny drop of spirit from Great
Spirit ocean array from the Supreme son
a particle of the Divine Being in case
to the material body using that body in
a force called the mind with which to
manifest itself
I does not at present understand all
things far from it
it has not as yet been able to bring its
tools that degree of perfection merely
knows that it is and has always been and
always will be
I allows intellect to indulge in
law of attraction the secret of i am a "higher plane" of consciousness
speculation but content itself with the
knowledge that it is it frets not itself
with problems of the past or future that
lives in the now and nose itself to be a
part of the whole i knows that it cannot
be destroyed or injured that exists in
accordance with the law and that law is
good and ask no further light at this
time knowing that in its progress
through matter discarding sheet after
sheet more known will surely come it
says trustfully and confidently to the
absolute so i will be done
knowing itself to be immortal I have no
fear of death of the body and one body
is as good as another to it it is
willing to lay aside the body as it
doesn't coat when it has out Warner out
government knowing itself to be
impregnable to harm i has no fear
thought it fears nothing knowing that
the law is working for development
always for ultimate good is not
disturbed by the cares troubles and
sorrows of life
it knows them for what they are the body
may be in pain
the mind may be burdened with sorrow but
I knowing smiles i knows itself to be
one with the eye of all living creatures
and knowing this cannot manifest hate
beer in be jealousy it cannot despise
are condemned these and other feelings
of the old life drop from the person
like a discarded Mantle when I mounts
throat I recognizes that others may not
have progressed so far on the path as
itself but knows when the bee but fellow
travelers on the same road we are doing
the best they know how considering their
stage of the journey I recognize is
ignorance not evil eye has but one
feeling toward mankind of the whole
living world love i love and comradeship
for even the last man for it knows that
the last man cannot be left out of the
great scheme of life i knows that has
law of attraction the "secret" of i am a higher plane of consciousness
traveled a long road leading to its
present position that all life is
traveling the same
I looks back and sees others covered
with the mire and dust of the road far
back on the past but knowing that it has
traveled the same stage of the journey
been covered with the same meyer and mud
it cannot condemn i know that it is but
on the threshold of the new
consciousness the borderland of the
cosmic knowing and that far beyond live
regions of marvelous beauty which will
in turn be traveled and then on and on
increasing in strength and knowing power
each day i sees endless phases of
existence opening up to the vision
cannot at this time understand but it
knows of the existence of the law and
its content
I has the courage of intelligent faith
and presses forward cheerfully to the
divine adventure
all this and more the man or woman who
understands the task of self-development
becomes a labor of love and exalted task
rather than the mere selfish driving
after power as the sculpture saw on the
block of marble the form of the angel
and wasn't told to cut away the
surrounding material in order to
liberate the angelic form so may we sing
the godlike form within us drive
deliberated the inner form is the real
self the I if you have never realized
this truth
relax your body and mind indulge in a
little introspection turn your gaze
inward listen to the voice of the Spirit
you'll be conscious of a faint
recognition of something within striving
to make itself manifest to your
understanding asking for the proper
tools with which to work
listen listen in the silence day-by-day
the voice will grow planar day-by-day
law of attraction attract create manifest higher plane secret consciousness
the light will grow brighter your own is
coming to you at last
oh joy unspeakable OT years Oh laughter
after long ages you're coming in the
side of the promised land know yourself
oh man i know that you have within you
the divine spark to which both body and
minor but servants know that your body
is the temple of the living spirit and
respected as such know that your
intellect is but the instrument of the
manifestation of the Spirit the I do not
crawl on your belly like a worm do not
humble yourself in the dust and call
upon heaven to witness what a despicable
creature you are
do not call yourself a miserable center
were the only of internal damnation
no a thousand times no rise to your feet
raise your head face disguise throw back
your shoulders fill your lungs with
nature's own and say to yourself I am
man has acquired a wonderful power when
he can understandingly say i am a part
of the eternal life principle I'm
created in the divine image i am filled
with the divine breath of life
nothing can hurt me for I am eternal the
first requisite for the acquirement of
an understanding of the law is the
recognition of the existence and the
power of the real self the eye
the more complete the recognition the
greater the power special directions for
the acquirement of this faculty of
recognition cannot be given it must be
grown into and felt rather than Reese
season out by the intellect you will not
be long in doubt as to whether or not
you are on the right track
if you are right you will begin to
realize it at once you have glimpses of
it and then it may slip away from you
for a while but fear not
you cannot escape it in the end you will
feel that your body is but as a garment
which was covering you temporarily is
not you you will feel that you are
law of attraction the secret of i am a higher plane of consciousness
separate and apart from your body
although for a time living in it you
will feel that you could as well live in
some other body and still retain sense
of your individuality you realize then
even your mind is not you but is merely
the instrument through which you
manifest yourself in which being
imperfect prevents the complete
expression of the Spirit in short when
you say or think i am your conscience of
the existence of your real self and feel
the growth of a new sense of power
within you
this recognition of the self maybe think
but encourage it and it will grow and
while scrolling will manifest itself to
your mind by impressing upon the latter
the knowledge of the proper plan for
further development is another example
of to him that hat shall be given
this mere calling of their attention to
the facts will awaken the first glimmer
of recognition and some others will find
it necessary to reflect upon the idea
and awaken to a recognition of the truth
more slowly
some will not feel the truth to such as
say the time is not yet right for your
recognition of this great truth
the seed is planted and the plant will
appear in time
this may seem like the various nonsense
to you now but the time will come when
you admit its literal correctness you'll
find that it desires been created that
will cause a mental unrest until more
light is received as Walt Whitman says
my words will pitch in your ears to you
understand them as Emerson says you
cannot escape from your good to those
who feel the first indication of the
waking of the Spirit I say Carrie the
thought with you and it will unfold like
the lotus naturally and gradually the
truth once recognized cannot be lost and
there is no standing still in nature
what has been said is but a faint hint
of a mighty truth which nestles in the
bosom of the esoteric teachings of all
law of attraction the secret of i am a higher plane of consciousness
religions and the philosophies of the
Orient and of ancient Greece you'll find
it in the songs of poets in the writings
of the Mystics the advanced science of
this age touches it without recognizing
it fully
it is not a thing that can well be
conveyed by words it is not easily
comprehended by purely intellectual
processes it must be felt and lived out
by those who are ready for it
those for whom the time has come it has
been known to few throughout all ages
and in all times all races have known it
it has been handed down from teacher to
pupil from the earliest days it is that
truth which Edward carpenter refers to
when he says oled not the flame died out
cherished age after age and it's dark
caverns and it's holy temples cherished
fed by pure ministers of love let not
the flame died out it is difficult to
convey even a hint of this truth to any
but those who are prepared to receive it
to others will seem to be Aaron folly as
Emerson says every man's words who
speaks from that life sound vain to
those who do not dwell in the same
thought on their own part I dare not
speak for it
my words do not carry it's August sense
they fall short and cold only itself can
inspire whom it will yet i desire even
by profane words is sacred I may not use
to indicate the heaven of this deity and
to report what hints I've collected of
the transcendent simplicity and energy
of the highest law if you prefer to try
to solve the problem of life the riddle
of the universe by scientific
investigation by exact reasoning formal
thought mathematical demonstration by
all means follow this method you'll be
taught the lesson of the power and the
limitations of the human intellect
and after you have travelled round and
round the circle of thought and find
that you are but covering the same
law of attraction the secret of i am a higher plane of consciousness
ground over and over again after you've
run into the intellectual cold affect
the blind alley of logic after you have
beaten your wings against the cage of
the unknowable and fall exhausted and
brews after you've done all these things
and have learned your lesson then listen
to the voice with it see the tiny flame
which burns steadily and cannot be
extinguished feel the pressure something
within and let it unfold
you will then begin to understand that
as the mind of man developed by slow
stages for mere sensation to simple
consciousness from simple consciousness
self-consciousness and its lower and
higher degrees so is their consciousness
higher than we have here 24 imagined and
store for man which is even now
beginning to manifest itself
you may then understand that there may
be an intelligent base which knows not
simply believes these and other lessons
you learn in time when you've reached
the stage where you feel the prompting
of the higher reason and live in the
coordinates there with you will say with
carpenter lo the healing power
descending from within calming the ins
fevered mind spreading peace among the
grieving nerves lo the eternal Savior
the sought-after of all world dwelling
hidden to be disclosed with them
law of attraction the secret of i am a higher plane of consciousness
oh joy is separable
