today we are going to talk about your secret power the power that can help you
to overcome all your problems the difficulty did you ever say to
yourself I wish that I might never again be afraid of anything or have you met
someone who had such a deep calm and peace that you have thought how I wish
that I might be like that big did you ever in some still moment feel as though
you could almost reach out them touch something that would make you whole and
happy and complete instantly I know you have because I have and I am sure
everyone has we are all alike because we are all human being something within us
tells us that we are only half alive that we are not getting what we ought to
out of this thing called life you share this feeling with every other person and
you instinctively know that there is something you ought to be able to tune
into something that is at the very center of your own being which could
make everything right not only for yourself but for others and for the
whole world we do not know just how it was that Jesus acquired his terrific
faith but he must have had moments of doubt and misgiving just as we all do
he must have experienced uncertainty just as you and I but unlike most of us
he prior he walked over the waters of doubt the waves of confusion and the
tempest of fear and he said in effect if you wish to do what I am doing
follow the few simple truths I have given you
I have told you that the kingdom of God is a hen but you do not see it because
your eyes are so filled with tears that you cannot see your ears are so dulled
with confusion that you cannot hear your minds are so weighed down with doubt
that you cannot understand and what was his remedy for all this open your
spiritual eye listen with the inner ear open your mind
and just what is it that we must see and hear and understand it is this this
thing called life closed into everything and through everything it passes into
every human event and translates itself through every human act if you think of
this life as flowing through your every act you will soon discover that the
things you give your attention to equipment with a new energy you are
breathing the very essence of being into there you know that you can think
yourself into being unhappy and depressed you know that you can think
yourself into being flare did it ever occur to you that you can also think
yourself into being well into being prosperous that you can think yourself
into success well you can if you believe in the law of life and use it rightly
but you must learn to use it affirmatively you must learn to identify
yourself with your desires you must become the master of your own thinking
this is the only way you can realize freedom and joy therefore you will have
to turn your thoughts away from lack and walk and limitation and let them dwell
on the good make yourself do this learn to think about what you wish to become
you see you are a thinking center in life and the chief characteristic of the
law of this life is that it responds to your thought your slightest thought set
up a vibration in it sets it creative intelligence in motion and causes it to
create circumstances for you which car is formed through your thought if you
think of life as always bringing to you everything you need you will have formed
a partnership with the invisible which will prosper you and everything you do
if you think of the organs and functions of your body as activities of life then
automatically you will be benefited physically the spiritual gift which
people have so earnestly sought after I'm not something that God has withheld
from man quite the reverse they are something which man in his
ignorant as with hell from himself life is never been dick it is not withholding
anything ano it is not even waiting until you
were good enough to receive life is love life is beauty and wisdom as well as
energy and imagination you will be able to use its power and exact proportion as
you embody its essence if our acts as they must spring from our inward
thoughts then it follows that when we change our inward thought we shall at
the same time change what they do that is we shall be introducing a new law of
cause and effect in wildlife and the effects of our previous mistakes will
disappear doesn't that seem wonderful the one then who would heal hate must
first learn to love the one who would live a beautiful life
must commune with beauty he must feel beauty the one who would give happiness
must first become happy the one who would heal a sense of loss must first
have arrived at an inner realization of wholeness miracles a natural every
manifestation of faith through prayer every wonder ensign which has followed
the life of prayer has been an inevitable result of some calls that in
motion in the life-principle every longing and yearning you have ever
had every secret desire of your soul every constructive ambition your head is
it whispering of this thing called life curing you that you are one with it
you are a manifestation a personification of it you are Center
where life passing through you becomes a definite a distinct and a unique
individual there is no one else like you in all the universe and there never will
be if you will take time daily to sense the presence of life within you who
believe in it to accept it it will not be long before the life which you have
known will gradually disappear something new will be for a bigger better and more
perfect you you will pass from death into life from lack and want and a
greater freedom from fear into faith from a sense of being alone you will
become one with everything you will rejoice in this oneness now there may be
some who think that before they can accept this position they must first
become profound philosophers spiritual sages are men of such deep scientific
knowledge that they stand apart from the rest of the world this is not true at
all what the wisest have known is only a
little more than you and I know they cannot answer your questions for you you
will have to answer them for yourself even the best man who ever lived could
not live for you you will have to live for yourself fortunately you do not have
to borrow power from anyone you are using the law of life every time you
think and no matter how long you may have been using it wrongly and incubus
the thirty day that our yes the very more you begin to use this power rightly
the effects of having used it wrongly will pass from your experience does it
make any difference how long the room has been dark does it make any
difference when you introduce a light does it make any difference how long the
earth has been patched when refreshing rain up to bring a new
life a new seed time and a new harvest to the field this is where faith plays
its great role or without faith it is impossible for one to do is best or get
the most out of living this does not mean faith in your personality alone but
faith in the great ocean of life itself faith in God no one has ever yet found a
substitute for this kind of faith I have never known anyone whose faith in
himself just as an individual or as a person was great enough to meet the
issues of life I have met many with hide this but as yet I have never seen it
proved successful there is something about our very nature that the man a
constant communion with the invisible
everyman is some part of God whether or not he knows or believes it but we
hypnotize ourselves into thinking that we are incomplete and imperfect we
identify selves with the fantastic pictures of
our morbid dream but the ropes that bind us our ropes of said letter cease to
wonder what made the machinery get out of order and spend our time in a
positive realization that there is a divine mechanic at the center of our
being who knows how to repair it and having thoroughly cleansed our mental
house we must now get a new tenant one who knows how to live in one who knows
that he is living in the house of God he is in heaven now he is the guest of the
infinite today
