,the ,secret of ,healing    ,in the     
beginning was the word1 and the word was
 with ,god and the word was ,god4  ,and 
the word was made flesh and dwelt among 
us1 and we beheld his glory full of     
grace and truth4   ,ever since the birth
 of the human race there have been      
health and disease4 ,everywhere we find 
those who live at levels of             
comprehension that cannot express in    
flesh the perfect power of the word and 
these must by natural law take on the   

form of whatever they have power to     
comprehend4  ,health is man's immortal  
birthright2 it is eternal in the        
universal plan1 and it can be made to   
become eternal in the life of men in    
just the hour they understand the laws  
of their own being4  ,there are two     
expressions of energy in the universe2  
one is called the constructive1 the     
other the destructive2 the one builds   
up1 the other tears down4 ,this must    
forever be so1 for only as matter is    
destroyed and passed back into energy   
can the energy pass out again into finer
 forms4  ,living in these great         
universal currents of construction and  
destruction1 man relates himself        
constantly with one or both through the 
simple law of his own consciousness1 and
 only as he learns the laws of his own  
being and consciously places himself in 
a position of power can he ever hope to 
escape the results which the negative1  
destructive currents produce in his body
 and his environment4  ,today we know   

that the world in which we live is      
nothing but a great sea of energy which1
 in the undifferentiated1 is called     
,god1 and in the differentiated is      
called matter or form1 or1 to make it   
more simple1 we can call one the energy 
that creates1 and the other the things  
created from and by this energy4  ,man  
and his environment are created by this 
energy3 ,he is a localized center of    
force and he becomes the expression in  
form of just whatever he relates with   
under the law of cosmic correspondence4 
,we have found that this great energy is
 also intelligence and is nothing but   
mind with its various manifestations4   
,we know today that the atoms of the    
atmosphere are intelligence1 and as they
 touch one another throughout space1 it 
is through this atomic mind that        
messages are carried1 and currents are  
generated which can heal patients at a  
distance4  ,everything in the universe  
is in a state of intelligent            
association1 and when the atoms become  

expressed in human form1 they pass into 
that expression of the universal mind   
known as human consciousness4  ,all     
human life is simply different tastes of
 consciousness brought about by the     
different vibratory rates to which our  
atoms respond4  ,the physical body is   
composed of a group of atoms attuned to 
move at a certain vibratory rate1 and   
within this physical body is another    
body of finer atoms attuned to a still  
higher vibration and in relationship    
with the higher electrical currents of  
the universe4 ,there has not been much  
told about this finer body1 but it is   
time the sick world knows this law of   
being1 for then it will be in a position
 to control its own life4 ,this finer   
body is the thought body or psychic body
 and it is upon this that the physical  
body depends for its power1 just as the 
very best instrument in the world       
depends upon the player for its         
expressed melody4  ,all sight1 all      
hearing1 all function is in this psychic

 body1 not in the physical one4 ,what   
many of the psychologists call the      
subconscious mind is only the registered
 intelligence of the psychic self4 ,this
 psychic self is in direct communication
 with the cosmic self and with the      
physical self1 and it is through this we
 become cosmic in our human             
consciousness4  ,the psychic body       
manifests through idea centers of the   
human brain and it is directly related  
with the cosmic currents through the    
solar plexus of the physical body4 ,the 
higher concept centers of the mind are  
the switchboard where connections are   
made1 and it is in this way that the    
psychic body registers its vibrations in
 the physical1 and the physical         
registers in the psychic--there is a    
circle of consciousness established by  
the two minds4  ,this would be of no    
particular value to us1 if it did not   
prove to us the source of disease1 for  
when we look scientifically and         
psychologically at disease1 we must see 

that it is simply disassociation between
 the psychic and the physical selves1   
and comes as the natural loss of poise1 
either physically1 mentally or          
psychically4  ,watching the play of     
human disease around us we can soon see 
that there are two distinct ways by     
which disassociation of these selves    
begins2 first1 through the mind by      
negative thinking1 and second through   
the emotions by negative feeling4  ,our 
thoughts and our will are the great     
avenues by which we admit anything into 
our psychic self1 and are also the means
 by which we exclude all things4  ,the  
whole poise of an individual can be     
destroyed by thoughts of fear1 hate1    
grief and anger2 fright has killed and  
all these states of emotion are simply  
grades of vibration1 setting up         
inharmonious1 psychical activity1 and   
leaving their corresponding effects upon
 the physical cells4  ,it is known only 
too well today by those who seek to     
know1 that back of all such physical    

conditions as nervousness1 prostration1 
temporary insanity1 nervous disorders1  
pains resembling rheumatism1 hay fever1 
heart troubles1 mental symptoms1 nervous
 chills1 morbid forebodings and mild    
mania1 there lurks the abnormal activity
 of the psychic or thought body caused  
by thoughts and feelings acting         
abnormally upon the vital centers of the
 nervous system and mind4  ,new ,thought
 declares that all diseases1 except     
accidental wounds and fractures begin in
 the psychic or thought body as energy  
and then are registered in the physical 
cells as organic or functional disease4 
,we might follow this farther in order  
to satisfy science1 but suffice it to go
 this far1 and then seek the value of   
knowing this3 ,we can see that the only 
thing that naturally follows is1 the    
healer and patient must be taught how to
 restore the lost equilibrium of the    
centers and again poise the life in a   
creative thought vibration4 ,this is    
done simply and surely by teaching      

everyone the correct use of the idea    
centers of the human brain and through  
this he is taught to form such thoughts 
and produce such ideas as will allow a  
normal amount of energy to register on  
both planes1 and not permit the         
psychical mind to drive the human engine
 on to destruction in a wild waste and  
explosion of physical1 mental or        
psychical energy4  ,this is not a long  
or wearisome task for in the cortex of  
every brain there are distinct idea     
centers whose business it is to take up 
ideas built from thoughts1 and will must
 follow the idea1 and by constantly     
selecting the thoughts which will       
produce harmonious vibrations within the
 psychic and physical selves1 we join   
with the great creative energy of the   
universe and it flows through us1       
healing and harmonizing every atom of   
our body4  ,the very first step toward  
healing is to teach the patient to build
 for himself a health consciousness1 and
 this is done by giving him the positive

 ideas of health instead of the negative
 ones of disease4 ,we build for him the 
idea of health1 hold it firmly in our   
minds1 and project it into his idea     
centers until it registers in his       
psychic mind2 then this is followed by  
his own increased power of willing1 and 
finally this passes into action and is  
registered in form4  ,ideation1 willing 
and doing is the great health trinity1  
and when this is produced1 healing must 
follow4 ,this is the law and there is no
 appeal from it4  ,when we first meet a 
diseased person we find his field of    
consciousness full of all kinds of      
negative thoughts of disease1 worry1    
fear and anxiety--these have been       
persisted in so long that they have     
weakened both the idea centers and the  
power of willing4 ,we at once create for
 him the positive idea motor-form1 and  
if his conscious mind is too weak to    
receive the impulse1 we project it into 
his psychic mind1 helping him hold on to
 the new idea until his own mind is able

 to grasp it1 and it becomes registered 
for him4  ,after he has learned the     
truth of the abundance of health energy 
within and without to be aroused into   
action by the simple law of his own     
thoughts and feelings1 he sets to work  
to regenerate himself1 and he finds that
 he can really breathe the breath of    
life into his own nostrils4  ,after we  
have seen the scientific side of the    
real power of healing1 then if we want  
to get health and keep it1 we set about 
studying how to live our life so as to  
be able to generate thoughts and        
feelings1 at all times1 which shall     
always move us at a creative health     
vibration4 ,the very next thing for     
anyone seeking health is to get easy in 
his everyday life2 no one can ever be   
well and live with every nerve on a     
tension4 ,we need to know the higher law
 of life that teaches us that no one put
 us anywhere but ourselves2 that no one 
is to blame but ourselves for what we   
have or have not2 we get and have in    

this world just what we have the power  
to relate with and will get free from   
the thing we do not like in just the    
hour that we build something better for 
ourselves4 ,all we need to do is to     
cease resisting conditions and agree    
with our adversary quickly4 ,freedom1   
liberty and happiness are not things of 
the external world2 they come from      
within and we are sad or happy1 bound or
 free1 sick or well1 not by our external
 but by our internal conditions4  ,the  
sick1 nervous1 peevish1 worrying mind   
sees everything as positive to itself   
and must be taught that there is nothing
 in all the world that has any power    
over us except that with which we endow 
it1 and it must begin to live under this
 idea rather than the old foolish one of
 being controlled by every external     
condition4  ,god hath not given us a    
spirit of fear but of love and of power 
and of a sound mind1 and with persistent
 thought culture we can soon form a     
habit of thought and feeling that will  

build us away from our old consciousness
 of disease and pain into a higher law  
of health and strength4  ,good1         
positive1 strong health thoughts are a  
certain preventive and cure for every   
kind of disease4 ,disease and health    
have absolutely no relation with each   
other2 disease is the expression of a   
faltering1 undeveloped soul life1 while 
health is the expression of a           
consciousness that has not broken its   
law of universal recognition4  ,there   
are very good people who are sick and   
very many so-called bad folks who are   
well2 health is not bestowed as a reward
 of merit1 it simply is by the natural  
universal law1 and it exists for those  
who know how to fulfill the law within  
their own being4 ,there are many        
so-called wicked people who live in     
greater harmony with their wickedness   
than some so-called ,christians can ever
 do with their religion and goodness4   
,wholeness or holiness means simply     
harmony1 and harmony inside and outside 

gives health4 ,anyone who has health has
 earned it by obeying the laws that     
produce it4  ,another great factor      
active in producing inharmonious        
vibrations and registering destructive  
energy1 is the old thought habit of     
living under the laws of opposites1     
thinking thought of health today and of 
disease tomorrow2 to be passing daily   
between hope and despair4 ,this is      
sowing mixed thought seeds and cannot   
help bringing mixed vibrations4  ,the   
path to a health consciousness is to get
 the strong1 positive idea of ,,unity   
and live under the law of similars4 ,to 
begin at once to affirm ,,union with all
 the health and strength of the universe
 and stick to it in the face of all the 
opposing negative thought vibrations    
generated within ourselves1 or thrown   
into our minds by others4 ,this can be  
done by resolutely substituting a health
 thought for a diseased one2 no matter  
how fast negative thoughts crowd in upon
 the mind1 they can be antidoted by the 

strong positive affirmation of ,,health4
  ,in order to register health          
vibrations we must think1 feel and be   
health in mind4 ,the words of health1   
peace1 power and strength do not unfold 
into radiant flesh and dwell among us   
through a faltering idea of fear1 or    
vague perhaps1 or ,i do hope ,i shall be
 well1 or ,i want to get well1 but it   
demands the eternal ,i ,,am ,,health    
,,now4  ,courage1 zeal and consecration 
to the laws of health and freedom from  
the law of death are not kindled by the 
halting consciousness full of the law of
 opposites1 but they are the results of 
knowing and abiding4 ,when we can in    
very truth and full of believing say to 
health1 ,thy kingdom come1 it will come4
  ,our daily thoughts then become the   
wires over which there passes into form 
a finer substance1 and our body is      
rebuilt and fashioned from the          
indestructible substance of the         
,universe4  ,the mortal body as we know 
it in the old thought world1 is a thing 

of earth and lives and suffers earth's  
calamities1 but through the             
understanding of this ,new ,thought     
union it can be made to become a portion
 of the cause as indestructible as life 
itself1 and live and glory in           
omnipotence4  ,we are then in the       
resurrection of the life1 and the word  
that was with ,god and was ,god1 is made
 flesh to dwell among us in glory and   
full of grace and truth2 then we know   
what ,jesus meant when he said1 ,i tell 
you of a truth1 there be those standing 
among you who shall not taste of death  
till they see the ,kingdom of ,god4     
,the ,risen ,self    ,and entering into 
the sepulchre they saw a young man      
sitting on the right side clothed in a  
long white garment1 and he saith unto   
them1 be not affrighted1 ye seek ,jesus 
of ,nazareth--,he is risen6 ,he is not  
here6  ,when we read the ,bible with its
 story of human lives and their great1  
wonderful mysteries1 we find among them1
 the greatest of all--the marvellous one

 of the ,christ birth and death1 and as 
we read we are amazed at the many       
confusing ideas of ,jesus and ,his      
teachings4 ,his disciples themselves did
 not understand ,him1 though ,he sought 
always to clearly interpret ,himself2   
often when ,he spoke metaphysically they
 interpreted ,him physically4  ,there   
was throughout all the ,christ history  
something so great1 so holy1 so         
inclusive that it was too large for them
 to comprehend1 and for all eternal     
ages1 the developing minds of men will  
be the same4 ,they will keep busy with  
their attempts at explanation of ,his   
life and ,his words4  ,jesus quitted the
 world in benediction1 and ,he left to  
those who followed ,him and ,his        
precepts1 a great inextinguishable hope4
  ,it matters little to those who really
 understand ,truth1 whether ,jesus the  
,christ lived1 or whether ,he was only a
 symbol worked out by the imagination of
 men and priests2 be the origin what it 
may1 ,christianity still stands2 and    

,religion still holds sway after        
centuries of ridicule and generations of
 secular and scientific analysis4       
,something unknown and uninterpreted    
beats and surges in the hearts of men1  
and brings into expression in every age 
the clinging to a great mysterious1     
wonderful1 unseen agency that somehow   
works its way along the silent avenues  
of the human soul4  ,the man ,jesus may 
or may not have lived4 ,humanity may    
keep its birthright of contradiction    
forever on this point1 but higher than  
the limited understanding of the few    
there lives the ,truth of the great     
,christ spirit which the name ,jesus    
embodied1 and which for centuries gone1 
and centuries to be1 will wax strong and
 flourish in the consciousness of men1  
as they pass one by one into recognition
 of it4  ,great and sacred was the day  
of ,jesus' birth1 and great and sacred  
was the day of his death1 for both      
revealed the stages of our human        
selfhood1 and both point our minds to   

deeper meanings of existence4  ,jesus'  
life as we follow it from the manger to 
the cross was the unmistakable story of 
the pathway of every human life and each
 little action was a part of the great  
mosaic which each life is setting for   
itself1 and from which it shall one day 
read its own great ,,at-,,one-,,ment4   
,the birth of the ,christ consciousness 
comes to each soul as the dawn of       
self-awakening4 ,it is the first faint  
glimmer of a new world1 and the first   
hint the soul of man has of union with  
its source4  ,this first dawn of        
consciousness is purely a possession of 
the inner self1 and those who feel it   
only follow first by faith4 ,this faith 
is buffeted and attacked by the things  
of life until it is tried and becomes   
steadfast4  ,in this first dawn of      
consciousness of the ,christ self we are
 always strangers to ourselves and      
asleep in the manger of natural things  
and natural senses4 ,we go on for years1
 and as consciousness grows stronger we 

search and search for we know not what2 
craving pursues us1 we go hither and    
thither seeking1 seeking--finding and   
losing4  ,the world and the things      
tangible are never wholly satisfactory  
in themselves2 we know instinctively    
that they are not all there is1 there is
 a deep1 vital something in us that     
speaks its hidden messages into our     
being1 and we are driven on from        
sensation to sensation1 crying for that 
open sesame of union which will bring   
peace to our soul4  ,then passing into  
deeper unfoldment we come into the real 
work of life1 we meet with              
responsibilities and its experiences2 we
 are baffled again1 buffeted1 besieged  
by the perplexities of doubt and fear   
and human discontent and we feel that1  
strive as we will1 we are not yet at    
home4  ,the ten thousand things of the  
human life entangle us1--the touch of   
sickness1 the expressions of so-called  
sin1--the baffling consequences of our  
seeming mistakes1--all these draw us    

from the cradle of unconsciousness out  
into the vital power of a self-conscious
 life1 and push us onward to our union  
with ,cosmic ,consciousness1 or the     
risen ,christ4  ,on the self-conscious  
plane life goes on1 driven on every side
 by human experiences and at last turns 
back upon itself1 and then in the       
,gethsemane of its own making1 it stands
 where earth and its perplexing joys are
 lost and heaven and its hidden joys are
 yet unknown1 and then facing the       
expressions of its now half-revealed    
consciousness it cries out from the     
depth of its soul's despair1 ,if it is  
possible1 let this cup pass1 and it does
 not see the purpose in ,gethsemane4    
,human life at this stage of unfoldment 
has fixed laws1 and the soul meets in   
them the inexorable command to pass on  
to its own crucifixion1 the worked out  
sentence of its own judgments1 and it   
goes onward bearing its own cross which 
is built from the consequences of the   
laws with which it has related4  ,the   

laws of human self-consciousness are    
hard to work out2 each life faces       
sometime1 somewhere the proof of itself4
 ,there comes a day to all when anything
 that is less than the truth slips off1 
and the soul stands bare at the bar of  
the universal justice ready to be judged
 by the laws which it has made for      
itself4  ,there are hours of human      
crucifixion that it were well to die on1
 for the soul that wanders back from    
these fierce ,mounts of ,transfiguration
 has paid the price of human            
transgression of law by human pain1 and 
is purged and cleaned by the fierce fire
 of its own igniting4  ,the path of     
human living out leads every life up the
 steps of ,calvary carrying its own     
,cross and it plaits the thorns and     
pierces the side of ,him who in our life
 again is spit upon and crucified until1
 at last1 the great human ,god-self     
within us is released through           
transmutation1 and the grave clothes of 
our dead self no longer entomb us2 then 

the resurrection day is at hand1 and the
 ,consciousness of ,god bursts into the 
self-conscious mind1 and the stone is   
rolled away from the sepulchre4  ,the   
human mind bursts forth in illumination 
and it passes with the ,christ birth on 
to the table-land of human comprehension
 and revelation of its infinite union4  
,in this moment of glorified            
illumination we feel and know that every
 moment behind us has been that this    
hour may be2 we feel then that every    
moment is a special moment2 every life a
 special life1 protected by the ,,all   
,,life1 and that everything on our human
 pathway1 high or low1 has led us on to 
this supreme moment of conscious union  
with our ,god4  ,when the ,christ       
,consciousness is risen within us1 we   
feel the universality of life written   
everywhere on everything2 there is but  
one starting point for all              
thought--,god4 ,there is but one ending 
place for all human faith--,god4  ,we   
are filled with a keener sense of the   

,,oneness of life1 and we are thrilled  
again and again by the nearness and     
greatness of ,god in the world which ,he
 projected from ,himself4  ,the ,father 
which we sought in self-consciousness   
has become real and tangible1 and the   
sense of everlasting ,,unity is in our  
hearts4  ,with this great ,god-self     
alive within us1 we never fear that ,god
 will ever pass away from any part of   
his ,creation4 ,we know too well1 then1 
the truth that as it was in the         
beginning1 is now1 and ever shall be1   
world without end1 earth is destined to 
become a heaven in the lives of men as  
fast as they develop to the place of    
understanding1 and find the real holy   
ground within the center of their own   
being4  ,god1 or the ,universal ,cosmic 
,consciousness1 has always been revealed
 to men through the risen ,christ       
consciousness within the self4 ,the men 
of old who walked with ,him were those  
who had lifted their personal mind to   
the level of the ,universal ,mind1 so   

that from the shores of the ,infinite   
,wisdom great thought waves of ,love1   
,truth and ,peace beat in on them and   
filled them1 and their lives became a   
center of illumination for all4  ,there 
never was and there never can be any    
conflict between the power of human     
consciousness and ,god consciousness4   
,truth is always ,truth1 and ,truth in  
the hearts of men build them back into  
the ,great ,harmony4  ,the ,absolute    
never contradicts itself2 as fast as    
lives are unfolded to the ,christ       
,consciousness1 they leave the old      
thought life like an empty tomb and push
 themselves into a glorious human       
expression1 just as the ,easter lily    
rising above the dust and mould of      
earth1 pushes itself upward into the    
clear sunlight of a world where flowers 
are revealed1 just so the soul pushes on
 through consciousness and              
self-consciousness1 into the glory of   
the risen ,godhood4  ,we can hear the   
voice of the ,universal calling us      

through our ,christ ,consciousness      
today1 just as it called to men         
throughout the ages1 and we know that   
everything that throbs with natural life
 or comes into objective expression in  
our human world1 is really only the     
voice of the ,universal ,cosmic mind    
speaking in the holy language of the    
human heart4  ,every experience1 every  
heartache1 every joy1 every despair1    
every pulse-beat is only the text by    
which the great child mind of the world 
is spelling out ,god4  ,the ,risen ,self
 comes into realization of the great    
white light of the soul1 and it enables 
us to see all life in its completeness4 
,human effort and human endeavor glow   
with an unexpected radiance when seen   
from the table-land of the risen truth4 
,the human soul then rejoices in its    
,divine possibilities4 ,jesus said3 ,i  
do always the things that pleaseth the  
,father1 and the voice from heaven said3
 ,this is my beloved son in whom ,i am  
well pleased4  ,when we turn to those   

who ask for proof of the risen          
,christ-self within us1 we have only to 
point to them the empty tomb of the old 
lives which men everywhere leave behind 
them4 ,if we desire we can go farther   
and point them to the production of     
those in whom this great consciousness  
is waking2 all human life that is alive 
with thought and faith and deed1 is     
vibrant with a great vital spiritual    
force4  ,the signs of ,god              
,consciousness and the conscious union  
of ,god and men is rampant everywhere in
 the natural world4 ,every factory1     
every steamship1 every invention1 every 
composition1 everything in form sets its
 seal upon the genuineness of the       
existence of the spiritual exaltation of
 the minds of men1 and higher than the  
things of the natural world1 there      
stands the achievements of the mental   
and inspirational souls2 the libraries  
with their tens of thousands of written 
pages1 the art museums and galleries of 
precious dreams2 all over the world     

there are hung on walls and chiselled   
into glistening marble the story of the 
glory-gazing of some ,christ-illumined  
soul4 ,and again sounded forth from     
thousands of churches each ,sabbath     
morning1 there is swelling out majestic 
songs sung by myriads of voices now1 but
 sung first in the silence of some dim1 
deep soul-dream1 in the ,christ         
consciousness of some risen mind4 ,that 
grand harmony was born on the           
table-lands of human illumination1      
registered on the human brain1 and      
worked out into tangible form here on   
earth to bear witness to the home-land  
of the ,god-man4  ,christ consciousness 
is the final destiny of every soul2 it  
is what we really live by and today we  
know1 as never before1 that in order to 
advance and grow1 we must consecrate and
 bring it here and now1 into its fullest
 expression in our life4  ,there are    
bound to be born1 at first1 many things 
on this table-land of new understanding 
that will be worked out indifferently by

 our limited brain1 and when challenged 
by the strain and stress of life they   
will depart because they will be unable 
in their present form to answer to the  
great world's need4 ,but increasing     
consciousness makes everything more     
powerful1 and as we go on we learn to   
build sublime and lasting things1 to    
stand the test of time because they have
 their root1 not in the old thought     
self1 but in the unfolded risen self1   
and they are grappled to the heart of   
the very ,rock of ,ages4  ,standing1    
then1 risen from the dust world of our  
old defeats1 our human minds receive new
 illuminations and rejoice in them4 ,law
 becomes the essence of our daily living
 and the mind of man the direct         
inspiration of the ,almighty4 ,we dare  
to trust our risen mind to the uttermost
 for in it is ,,god himself enshrined4  
,in this new spiritual perception we    
rely more and more on our intuitions1   
illumination and revelation1 for it is  
human ,godness1 backed by the strength  

of unnumbered hosts of higher           
consciousness4  ,we know at last that   
all our daily living is not a matter of 
outward signs but of inward sight2 all  
external things may contradict us1 yet  
in sublime confidence we shape our way  
while the ,christ voice within us speaks
 forth its messages1 telling us all the 
holy and uplifting stories of our daily 
life4  ,over the trials and wreckage of 
our common years we follow it2 out from 
a silence that is known only to         
ourselves we bring the lessons that have
 burnt their truth into our souls4  ,in 
the power of this risen self we stand   
with our faces upturned1 with our whole 
life opened to ,god1 and human effort1  
human growth1 human hope1 love1         
joy1--all are joined in the sense of    
,divine resurrection4  ,this is the     
consciousness of ,god in the human soul2
 this is the ,resurrection morning and  
it makes us ,,now the ,sons of ,god1 and
 from the darkness of our ,old ,thought 
growth we lift our hearts away into a   

new ,life ,divine4 ,we open our eyes in 
the radiance of a light that never grows
 dim1 then standing with an all-seeing  
soul vision1 we can point to the long   
years behind us through which we have   
worked out our soul's salvation and     
closing the door on the empty tomb of   
our dead self we say with all the       
serenity of our new-found               
,god-consciousness3  ,i know whom you   
seek4 ,he is not here4 ,he is ,risen6   
,transcendentalism    ,transcendentalism
 is today the one subject which is      
demanding the greatest attention4 ,the  
race mind is beginning to think in words
 of transcendental language rather than 
in the old law of science and           
philosophy1 and all the light of modern 
investigation centres round the one who 
declares himself a transcendentalist4   
,we may say that a man is a scientist1 a
 philosopher or a materialist1 and the  
world will know at once what we mean1   
but if we say that he is a              
transcendentalist we leave an open      

doorway for investigation2 there is     
something yet to be learned about him1  
something that no one knows about but   
himself4  ,anyone can easily define a   
scientist1 a philosopher and a          
psychologist1 but they halt in more or  
less indecision when they are asked to  
define a transcendentalist1 and it is   
only when we understand that a          
transcendentalist is one who has        
extended his normal consciousness into  
relationship with the deeper laws of the
 universe1 so that he uses naturally    
these laws and is perfectly familiar and
 at home in states of consciousness     
which the rest of the world call        
supernatural1 and with which they are   
entirely unfamiliar1 that we can come to
 a true definition of the               
transcendentalist4  ,transcendentalism  
has been a part of race unfolding since 
time began1 and will continue to be     
throughout all race evolution4  ,in the 
old civilization we studied the         
transcendentalist and transcendentalism 

from an entirely different view-point   
than we do today4  ,transcendentalism is
 a state of consciousness and man       
evolves into it out of the natural      
states of his own mind4 ,no one is to   
blame that he is1 or is not1 a          
transcendentalist4 ,he becomes one not  
alone because he wills to become1 but   
also because he is one with the divine  
law of creation and the                 
,god-consciousness within him pushes him
 on through one state of unfoldment to  
another4  ,there are two expressions of 
universal and finite mind1 one is the   
objective1 the revealed1 the apparent1  
and one is the subjective1 the          
concealed1 the absolute4  ,the objective
 side of mind belongs to the surface    
consciousness of man1 and is in itself a
 distinct state of existence1 it is     
bounded on every side by its own laws1  
and commands its own obedience4 ,the    
subjective side of life belongs to the  
inner side of mind and is also a        
distinct state of existence bounded by  

itself and the laws of its own kingdom1 
and without a deep knowledge of         
universal law1 man has little power of  
connecting these two strong zones of    
consciousness4  ,studying life in the   
light of our modern understanding1 we   
find that man passes by natural law     
through the objective1 the surface zone1
 then on to the subjective or inner     
zone1 and then to a centralized position
 between both zones where he lives1     
moves and has being in both zones1      
uniting the laws of the two kingdoms    
into a new zone of consciousness1 then  
using the laws of both1 he passes at    
will to the very edge of matter1 and    
back to the very center of the cosmic   
mind2 standing here in life's master    
position1 he is lord of both zones4     
,this middle zone of power and mastery  
is the path of the modern               
transcendentalist1 and the one who walks
 it and lives in unification with its   
laws is the modern transcendentalist of 
the new civilization4 ,it has been      

written--    ,for wide is the gate1 and 
broad is the way that leadeth to        
destruction1 and many there be who go in
 thereat because    ,straight is the    
gate1 and narrow is the way which       
leadeth unto    ,life4  ,we know today  
that this is true1 for on the broad path
 of the objective life man must pass    
through the law of change which         
destroys1 that it may create again and  
through which he is crowded on to seek  
the narrow path of subjective senses    
which are built on the law of verities4 
,man's first lessons are in the         
objective zone of mind1 and he remains  
positive in this zone until he masters  
its laws and the lessons which they     
bring4  ,in this objective zone of mind 
we find the mass man of the old         
civilization1 he is in the broad way of 
the surface consciousness1 and in his   
midst there dwells the specialized      
individuals who are approaching the     
central zones of mind2 they are called  
the scientist1 the physicist1 the       

materialist1 the agnostic1 the          
mentalist1 the reasoner1 and the        
atheist1 all true and perfect for their 
type but all more or less unconscious of
 the latent states of mind within       
themselves and the universe to which    
they must some day respond4  ,as human  
consciousness intensifies through use1  
man finds himself passing on through his
 surface zones to the concealed states  
of mind within himself1 the narrow way1 
and slowly1 almost unconsciously at     
first1 he begins manifesting the law of 
these zones4 ,in these states of mind we
 find the philosopher1 the idealist1 the
 emotionalist1 the psychist1 the        
sensitive1 the intuitionist1 the        
revelator1 the transcendentalist and the
 seer4  ,watching race evolution we see 
that the day of surface consciousness   
and its power is waning only as it is   
controlled and manipulated through the  
subjective states of man's mind4 ,the   
hour for subjective research and        
subjective introspection is at          

hand1--men have mastered the external   
world and its laws1 and are now         
following the cosmic urge which is      
pushing them toward the center and away 
from the apparent to the absolute laws  
of life4  ,the external evolution of    
form is complete for this hour2 men go  
down into the bowels of the earth1 they 
sail the seas1 they mount the air on    
wings1 and the external world has seen  
the son of man coming in clouds of glory
 and now the eternal man must have his  
hour1 and come in trailing robes of     
power and brightness1 to pour new       
revelation through the external world   
and its laws4  ,books1 paintings1       
pictures1 science1 music have all had   
their day in external exaltation1 and   
now the attention of man is mounting    
higher and turning inward2 the study of 
the surface and sub-consciousness has   
been transferred1 and while part of the 
world's eyes are yet peering through the
 microscope at the sub-life and plenty  
are looking at the laws of life around  

them1 the transcendentalist with these  
truths locked fast in his mind1 is      
turning to the undiscovered states      
within himself1 and is everywhere       
launching out into the unfathomed states
 of the supra-mind of man4  ,man has    
evolved like a planet through the stone 
age of mind and today with the planet in
 the vibratory zone of water and air he 
has risen with it into the transcendent 
states of his own being4  ,many         
transcendentalists are living so        
naturally in the beginning              
manifestations of the supra-mind that   
they hardly recognize them as uncommon  
and the world is becoming peopled with a
 race of supra-men and supra-women who  
are using the subtle laws of the        
transcendentalists of the past1 but not 
using them alone1 or in hidden          
cloisters1 or through separate states of
 living1 but using them as simple human 
attributes of their own mind1 and using 
them in the common marts of the surface 
life with more real understanding than  

did the olden transcendentalist in his  
specialized separated environment1      
assisted by secluded study and special  
opportunities4  ,the modern             
transcendentalist is a post graduate of 
the surface consciousness1 and uses it  
as simply a wireless machine with which 
he registers his deeper perceptions1 and
 with it links himself and his          
revelation naturally to the natural     
world4 ,he stands in natural communion  
with both zones1 and in this communion  
with deeper laws he attains a           
supra-power1 he walks his human pathway 
in human form1 but he manipulates his   
surface life with the power born of his 
supra-wisdom4  ,the modern              
transcendentalists form the             
corner-stones of the new civilization4  
,for the new age will come quickly to   
its birth when this ,his world1 will    
know itself divine and in this new      
civilization the mass man will have for 
his surface consciousness1 the deep     
subtle union of both zones1 and the     

specialized teacher1 leader and         
messenger of this new age1 will forge   
ahead on the great white way of prophecy
 and seership which is born from the    
union of the finite and infinite mind4  
,to the mind of the old civilization    
this will not seem true1 for it is still
 in the swaddling clothes of its old    
inheritance2 in the thoughts of the     
past1 man and ,god1 matter and spirit1  
finite and infinite have been so long   
divorced and separated that it will be  
found difficult to accept the union of  
incense and worship and reverence in the
 same breath with the real1 the apparent
 and the formed1 but this is the hour   
for higher prophecy1 and that hour when 
the lion and the lamb shall lie down    
together4  ,to those who are really able
 to read the signs of the times1 human  
consciousness everywhere offers the     
greatest proof of this truth1 for       
looking with eyes that can see1 we find 
that every individual is in possession  
of eight distinct states of             

consciousness with which he can operate 
in the subjective and objective zones4  
,there may be still greater stretches of
 the human mind into union with the     
universal which the oncoming races will 
discover1 but that there are eight      
distinct levels of mind activity many   
know because they have touched them and 
know them within themselves4  ,some     
minds are active in one1 some in two1   
some in three1 and some in four1 and    
some are more or less distinct in all4  
,the mass man of the new civilization is
 awake in the third and fourth          
dimensions of his mind1 and those in    
higher reaches are awake in the fifth   
and sixth1 a few are in the seventh and 
eighth1 but the rank and file are       
familiar to some degree with all these  
states4  ,the first or surface mind of  
man is in itself only cell              
consciousness1 touched by man's own     
intellect1 and it is known as instinct1 
his second expression of mind is known  
as reason1 the third is emotion or      

feeling1 and the fourth is instinct1    
reason and emotion blended into one1 and
 called intuition4 ,the fifth and sixth 
are above the plane of thought and      
feeling and includes them in a still    
higher intensification2 here thinking   
ceases and registration is the law1 and 
here is where revelation is born4 ,the  
seventh and eighth are still supra      
reaches of man's mind1 and include the  
union or surface consciousness with the 
higher states1 in which the brain       
becomes the wireless machine1 through   
which flashes of divine wisdom comes2   
this is called ,prophecy and ,seership  
and this is the product of the          
mirror-mind4  ,there are bodies and     
atmospheres to fit each transcendent    
state of mind1 and the transcendentalist
 can suspend any1 or all of his states  
of mind1 one after another1 and pass    
into direct atonement with any level    
with which he wishes to function2 he can
 at will live in a new world1 and speak 
with a new tongue1 and fill his surface 

mind with a glory not its own1 but which
 it had with ,him before the world was4 
,these new states of mind in action     
extends man's world into the wider      
reaches of the universal and adds to him
 new levels of wisdom and power4  ,there
 are reaches of intelligence far below  
and beyond the common intelligence as   
the microscope and the telescope have   
shown1 and at the fourth and fifth      
dimension of consciousness man dispenses
 with all material aids and uses the    
adjustments of his own being4 ,he has   
found the eyes1 the cars1 and the       
understanding of the supra-self1 and by 
suspending his surface mind through     
concentration and meditation he can     
enter any sphere of thought at will and 
be in the land of clairvoyance1         
clairaudience1 and in the astral and    
atmospherian1 or pass farther out and   
register in his surface brain the       
wonders and laws of etherian1 and       
celestial worlds4 ,he is at one with the
 world of the sensitive1 the            

impressionist and the medium1 and in the
 deeper states of vision he can see and 
read the memory tablets of the universe4
 ,in the higher registrations he becomes
 cosmo-voyant and cosmo-audient1 he can 
see and hear through space and through  
ethers as the common eye looks through  
air4 ,these are not special gifts from  
,god1 but simply the gifts man gives    
himself through the conscious use of    
what is already in his possession4  ,the
 power to extend sight and hearing far  
above and below the so-called senses is 
latent within every individual and when 
the point of transcendental development 
is reached he uses it naturally4  ,there
 are some people who can see birds in   
the air1 ships at sea1 stars in the sky1
 while others standing beside them see  
only empty space4 ,just so there are    
many everywhere on life's pathway who   
can extend their normal vision and      
hearing to such an intensified vibratory
 rate that it not only includes all the 
things of the physical plane but the    

things of the finer ethers4  ,the       
transcendentalist standing on the       
streets of ,new ,york can extend his    
vision and look at a street or building 
in ,chicago or ,cairo or ,london1 while 
the surface man alongside of him can    
scarcely read the signs on the other    
side of the street4  ,the modern        
transcendentalist does only what the    
surface man does--he looks to see and   
brings one hundred percent of his vision
 to bear upon his desire1 while the     
surface man has less than ten percent of
 himself in action and that only on one 
plane4  ,there are enough people on the 
planet today who can use these deep     
states of mind1 and induce the extended 
vision and hearing at will to make it   
more than a mere hypothetical           
conclusion2 there are ,x-ray beings     
among us who have come into contact with
 a great fundamental principle both     
within and without themselves4  ,the    
time will come in the near future1 when 
the operator with the ,roentgen ray will

 stand beside his machine and look with 
wide open eyes and find the ,x-ray in   
his own vision1 and will work unlimited 
by the bondage of his material machine4 
,comparing the modern transcendentalist 
and his pathway with that of the olden  
transcendentalist with his ascent of    
travail and pain1 we find a profound    
satisfaction in the picture of power1   
peace and love of the modern supra-man4 
,the pathway of the elder supra-man was 
one of crucifixion1 self-denial1        
renunciation1 affliction1 poverty1      
disease and self-mortification4 ,he     
found the steps to the higher           
consciousness and its power only through
 slow self-conquest and comradeship with
 pain1 and this was the inheritance he  
handed down through the centuries4 ,to  
think in terms of mystical wisdom meant 
human denial of all sentient life4      
,unification was bought through total   
consecration to the subjective and the  
absolute1 in which the diverse could    
have no part4  ,today we are free where 

our sires were serfs1 we can see where  
,he left them blind1 and we know that   
,god-consciousness is man's immortal    
birthright and that the son of man must 
somewhere on his pathway become the son 
of ,god1 and as he passes on in his     
unfoldment he will contact every atom of
 ,god-mind in all lines of expression1  
and from the world of matter he will    
turn in time naturally to those levels  
of mind which lead him into reverence1  
illumination and worship1 and through   
this he finds the whole of life4  ,man  
in his immersion into cosmic            
consciousness puts forth profound tests 
of his oneness and faces life in larger 
and larger proportions1 and as he       
ascends he carries all with him1 so that
 he can give back to all a profound and 
heroic response4  ,every man is         
transcendent when the hour dawns for his
 transcendent self to tremble into      
action4  ,with these wider reaches of   
consciousness the modern                
transcendentalist finds the larger      

,,life and the true way of living1 and  
in this brings the new message of the   
,one life in all and through all into   
the mass mind1 and the new song of joy  
and thanksgiving into their hearts4 ,he 
is never sad1 never agonizing1 never    
renouncing2 he has made contact with all
 life and through this with the         
universal joy2 there is no denial1 no   
separateness1--there is no more crying1 
he conquers and ascends not through     
separateness but through increasing     
degrees of union4 ,he lives in glad     
comradeship with ,god1 in joy and       
perfected self-expression1 both in the  
objective and in the subjective world4  
,the ancient transcendentalist was      
always sad1 always separate1 always     
worshipping in beatific loneliness1 in  
seclusion and renunciation of the world2
 the modern supra-man passes from end to
 end of the pole of being and stops at  
any point and functions normally4 ,he   
stands and works1 then kneels and prays4
 ,he is lord of the outside external    

world and partaker of all its divine    
joys and pleasures1 and he is lord of   
all the deeper reaches of subjective    
consciousness within himself and the    
absolute in which he lives1 and he      
brings out from these deeper levels all 
the intensified power of illumination   
and revelation1 and pours it over his   
daily pathway illumining it with a glory
 not its own4  ,many olden              
transcendentalists lived on in entranced
 states of divine wisdom with diseased  
flesh and bodies that shrieked with     
pain1 while they mortified and rejected 
that divine wisdom4 ,the modern         
transcendentalist brings all his        
,god-consciousness to bear upon his     
flesh and raises it to the transcendent 
heights of his own mind and heals it    
until bone and muscle and tissues gleam 
and scintillate with a new found beauty 
and youth4  ,the olden transcendentalist
 dragged on in barren cells and dreary  
poverty in order not to divert his      
glorified vision of the formless by the 

beauty of the ever present form2 the    
modern transcendentalist brings his     
higher laws into play1 conquers his     
poverty and commands around himself the 
beauty and luxury and freedom of the    
world of form1 and it speaks to him in  
matchless raiment1 luxuriant flowers1   
gems1 material comforts and soft ease4  
,he lives in rapturous companionship    
with the glory and beauty and majesty of
 ,god in the world ,he has projected    
from ,himself1 and with this beneath    
him1 he can rise to the very pinnacle of
 infinite selfhood4  ,the olden         
transcendentalist1 ascending into the   
transcendental heights of his own mind1 
ascended alone1 and from these obscure  
heights he shed his wisdom back upon the
 evolving race2 he was pioneer in the   
lands of cosmic consciousness and the   
first revelator of the path2 he showed  
the race that the path was there to     
tread1 and his messages have fallen as a
 benediction on the race mind even while
 he himself bought his wisdom with pain1

 renunciation and suffering built from  
the limited recognition of his own mind4
  ,the path winds onward and upward     
still1 but the feet of those climbing it
 today are led by still waters and in   
the paths of righteousness4 ,they are no
 longer in the part but are in the      
middle of the ,divine ,channel of       
,god-consciousness4 ,to know one part   
was the mission of the past2 to know all
 parts and join them in a divine unity  
is the mission of the present4  ,the    
modern transcendentalist does not love  
life less1 he loves it more6 ,the world 
is alive with a new majesty2 the passing
 multitude1 the passing face1 every     
human attribute of life calls forth from
 him a deeper interpretation2 he walks  
out into the race mind1 and with the    
power of a new word1 and a new touch    
heals it from its infirmity4 ,he does in
 truth give absent treatments1 and his  
word is accomplished2 the old diseased  
flesh transmutes in answer to his       
command4 ,he speaks to the barren walls 

of poverty and they stretch away into   
stately halls1 for he knows that        
wherever man posits his consciousness1  
substance must gather round it2 his new 
words of power and majesty fall like a  
benediction on the heart of the         
listening multitudes1 and they turn     
round to face a new tomorrow with a new 
hope born of a larger understanding4    
,the transcendentalist walks often in   
our midst2 sometimes he assumes the     
simplicity of a child to disguise the   
larger stretches of power within him1   
but he is out upon the pathway strong   
and beautiful1 wholly replete with      
promises of perfection1 doing the work  
of the human4  ,there is a royal road   
from appearance to reality1 from        
objective to subjective1 from the       
limited to the absolute4  ,difference is
 merging into one great white way       
through which the new civilization is   
thronging1 led by the intensified vision
 of the supra-minds4  ,unity has carried
 man above all things of human law1 and 

he has found that ,mighty ,force of     
which all is a part1 and he is out into 
the land of naked visions and knows4    
,he dwells securely upon the height and 
has ceased the long fight with the      
objective half of himself2 he is one    
with matter because he has transcended  
and absorbed it2 he is centralized in   
the formless and spiritualized in the   
formed1 and can say from the level of   
his own ,christ consciousness3    ,i and
 my ,father are one4    ,all that my    
,father hath is mine4     ,the          
,psychology of ,insanity    ,with the   
ever present increase of insanity1 it is
 not only interesting but important that
 the subject of insanity should be      
studied from all view-points1 and       
anything which can be contributed that  
will help in controlling or curing it1  
should be accepted as good material4    
,it is an apparent fact that the        
multitude knows very little about the   
cause of insanity and less about the    
cure4 ,investigation has in the past    

been directed to the physical side of   
the disease1 and many of the insane     
hospitals are examples of physical      
comfort and perfect physical attention1 
but they are also living examples of the
 fact that to house1 feed and clothe the
 demented does not necessarily mean a   
cure1 and a call for deeper             
understanding is imperative4            
,civilization needs each individual as a
 unit in the great working force of     
life1 and those who need to be taken    
care of by a ,state take away a         
legitimate support and add just that    
much more to the burden of the ,state4  
,a civilization which can increase the  
independence of the individual and      
lessen the responsibility of the ,state 
is one to be directly desired4          
,insanity calls for a closer study than 
has ever been given and only through a  
deeper realization of its cause1 can a  
cure be brought about and individuals   
rendered of value to themselves and the 
country4  ,insanity is nothing more or  

less than disassociated states of mind  
and need not in reality be any more     
serious than errors of refraction of    
vision1 faulty locomotion or lack of    
coordination4 ,it comes because         
individuals know nothing of the         
psychology of themselves or their own   
minds and is the result of              
over-intensified mental and physical    
activity and loss of poise1 physically1 
mentally and psychically4 ,the insane   
are not capable of understanding        
themselves1 and up to the present day   
there are very few who are able to      
understand them4  ,the nurses1 matrons  
and physicians of a great asylum are    
powerless to assist them because of     
their own ignorance of the true laws of 
psychology4 ,the cases which simple1    
natural1 physical methods will assist1  
are cured1 but thousands of others are  
allowed to drag along with the dreadful 
stigmata of hopelessly insane4          
,insanity is increasing because         
civilization is changing1 and conditions

 are changing4 ,as conditions change the
 minds of men change and today          
subjective states of mind in the        
individual are becoming intensified4    
,instinct1 reason1 emotion1 intuition1  
revelation and prophecy are all         
struggling for expression2 unrelated and
 misunderstood they become disease2     
related and understood they can be made 
to bring forth a new race with new      
extensive reaches of intelligence4      
,there are few people so stupid but that
 they can testify to the conflicting    
states of emotions within themselves and
 there are many people who are perfectly
 familiar with states of consciousness  
with which many other people are        
entirely unfamiliar4  ,wherever we go we
 are continually confronted with what   
the world calls freaky or eccentric     
people1 and these people are found in   
all degrees from the slightly odd folks 
to those filling the asylums1 and       
strange as it may seem1 no matter how   
queer they may appear to other people1  

they never seem so to themselves4       
,there are many families with members   
whom the rest call irrational1          
irresponsible or black sheep4 ,again1   
there are many families who have one    
child who1 from the time of its birth1  
has called for methods of management    
entirely different from those used for  
the other children4 ,there are many     
little sensitive creatures who are      
afraid of the dark and who have queer   
ideas and odd ways1 and there are       
delicate little people who have bodies  
so finely organized that they are nearly
 broke into pieces with the natural     
things which the other members never    
notice4 ,they are born sensitives and   
remain sensitives to the end of their   
lives1 and only as they can be taught   
the truth about themselves can they be  
rescued from some form of mental        
disturbances4  ,these people as they    
grow older1 become what is termed       
psychics2 they are over-intensified in  
some of their deeper states of mind4    

,they are not alone the product of      
civilization1 but the product of race   
evolution4 ,many of them pass on in     
semi-normal states of self-support1 but 
they are a well known class1 and they   
are more or less unsuccessful in        
supporting themselves along natural     
lines of labor1 and if they inherit     
wealth they run into vagaries and often 
degenerate lines of living2 they        
squander their all and die in charity4  
,the common business world is full of   
psychics and it is correspondingly full 
of failures for this is not a faculty   
that makes for success or power with    
material things4  ,psychics who are only
 slightly disassociated are always a    
source of annoyance to their friends1   
and often looked upon as irresponsible1 
and have to be looked after by some one 
who has patience enough to be with them1
 and often they are passed along as     
having an artistic temperament4  ,as    
long as their peculiar development does 
not interfere with normal action they   

are unmolested by the public4 ,it is    
only when deeper states of mind become  
so over-intensified that they lose their
 normal relationship to normal things of
 the world that they are put under      
control4 ,they are called paranoics1    
melancholics1 demented and insane4 ,a   
correct mental training would teach them
 to re-associate their mind and to live 
a moderately normal life1 at least4 ,all
 drunkards and drug fiends are psychics2
 degenerates are also psychics4 ,these  
conditions are simply the result of loss
 of polarity of normal mind centers1    
resulting in the conflict of states of  
consciousness within themselves4  ,there
 are also many psychics in the ignorant 
and undeveloped classes4 ,the witch     
women and seers1 and many of the colored
 races are psychic4 ,in the past1 these 
people were looked upon as witches and  
their words and works were known as     
witchcraft4  ,there are many psychics   
who are also great geniuses4 ,lord      
,byron and the ,mad ,painter of ,belgium

 were psychics4 ,history is rife and    
galleries of art and temples of         
literature stand as testimonials to some
 of the constructive productions of     
their minds1 but beside them run dark   
stories born of their psychic           
uncertainty4  ,criminals of certain     
types are psychics with no power of     
physical control and they pass into     
subjective control and live and do the  
things that are given them to do from   
the psychical mind and are often        
ignorant of their own condition4  ,those
 whom the medical profession call       
paranoics are simply psychics1          
over-developed in the subjective        
faculties--a prey to all the disembodied
 forces of the subjective plane1 and    
also to every floating thought on the   
physical plane2 they are obsessed by    
ideas from within and without and their 
actions bear witness to this statement4 
,some very meddlesome women1 and those  
who are the terror of a quiet community1
 are nearly always those who are in the 

control of the slower psychic forces and
 unable to consciously direct their own 
normal states of mind4  ,in science the 
psychics are called diseased4 ,science  
gives all actions a physical basis1 but 
it is time to know that abnormal states 
of consciousness1 that are only changes 
in the functional side of the mind and  
which have no apparent physical basis1  
are found in thousands4  ,neurasthenics 
and psychasthenics present the mildest  
picture of disordered states of mind4   
,all neurasthenics and psychasthenics   
are psychics and their diseases can only
 be fully understood by the             
psychologist4 ,the scientist has long   
ago exhausted his knowledge of the cause
 and cure of these diseases and this is 
why all branches of metaphysical healing
 are overcrowded4  ,to understand this  
abnormal thing called insanity1 one must
 fully understand the normal1 called    
sanity4 ,there are four distinct states 
of consciousness in every individual2   
these must be kept co-related and all of

 them manifest through the common       
everyday mind4 ,these four states of    
consciousness are instinct1 reason1     
emotion and intuition4 ,these four      
states of consciousness are functions of
 the normal mind4 ,when a patient       
becomes over-intensified in either one  
of these parts of the mind1 mental      
disease results4 ,the psychic is        
over-intensified in the emotional and   
intuitional functions of his mind1 thus 
rendering his common sense states       
uncommon1 and according to the degree of
 over-activity1 he is either a freak1 a 
creature of temperament1 a genius or a  
dementia4  ,the ordinarily insane       
individual has lost all relationship    
with his natural1 instinctive and       
reasoning mind4 ,he is disassociated4   
,reason1 instinct1 emotion and intuition
 are all in conflict within him4 ,the   
emotional and intuitional faculties     
overfunctioning distort his common      
understanding4 ,his idea centers are not
 able to distinguish between the real   

and the unreal in thoughts4 ,he becomes 
possessed and obsessed by ideas born of 
emotion and intuition that have no      
foundation in fact1 and as time goes on1
 he loses complete control of his idea  
centers4  ,every individual has definite
 idea centers within his own brain1 and 
it is through these centers that ideas  
are coordinated1 received or rejected4  
,as over-intensification of feeling and 
emotion goes on1 the normal action of   
the idea centers is interfered with and 
the individual has superinduced         
emotional and intuitional states which  
are no longer guarded by reason and     
thought4 ,the emotion senses a purely   
imaginary condition and the idea centers
 have no power to reduce it to truth4   
,as time goes on1 all power of          
association is lost and the individual  
passes along1 the plaything of his      
subjective states of mind4 ,as he       
becomes more and more intensified       
subjectively1 he opens the deep psychic 
currents both within and without        

himself1 and loses his connection with  
his common mind and his physical body1  
and becomes a prey to all the psychic   
currents4  ,there are lives everywhere  
open to subjective thought currents1 and
 all unknown to themselves they are     
allowing themselves to become           
disintegrated by the daily and hourly   
response they are giving to the stimulus
 of a plane they should master instead  
of allowing it to master them4  ,the    
psychic plane may become a pathway to   
power1 or it may become the open doorway
 to a body and mind full of disease1    
insanity and absolute loss of power and 
poise4  ,there are many patients        
confined in the asylums today1 who would
 never have been there1 and who would be
 released and cured1 if those in charge 
fully understood the truth of this      
unnaturally natural development and     
directed their attention to its control4
  ,the first truth is1 people are born  
into what is to them natural            
relationship with this psychic plane and

 go on for years misunderstood1 pained  
and repressed1 unable to rescue         
themselves from what they do not        
understand1 and in the end the physical 
body does become diseased by the        
continual inroads of strain and         
repression2 functional disorder and     
anatomical changes result4 ,the farmer's
 wife loses her mental balance through  
repression of the fine emotional1       
intuitional side of her mind which finds
 no expression in the dull environment  
of the farm4 ,the over-worked mother    
loses her mental poise2 disassociation  
follows over-stimulation of the         
practical and repression of the         
artistic2 and in emotional patients     
exaggerated states of feeling go on into
 greater disassociation for lack of     
strong sensible thought control4  ,and  
the second truth is1 that many are born 
so close in relationship to the unseen  
plane and in such psychical             
correspondence1 that some slight thing  
which weakens the will-power--sorrow1 a 

disease that devitalizes the physical1  
some shock1 or some prolonged or        
strained mental condition1 breaks down  
the remaining law of separation1 and the
 life is astray in the psychical world1 
manifesting abnormal1 physical laws4    
,there is one great connecting link     
between the physical and the psychical  
through which all abnormal conditions   
can be corrected1 and this is will      
power4 ,when this power of will is      
broken1 the life must become a          
manifestation of error1 according to the
 generally accepted idea of normal      
relationship4  ,the will-power of an    
individual is dependent upon his        
ideation4 ,weaken his power to carry an 
idea1 and his will grows correspondingly
 weak2 the will must follow the idea2 it
 is not a separate entity--will only    
exists in partnership with the idea4    
,ideation1 willing and motion are the   
great human trinity from which          
everything else originates4 ,when we    
inspect our minds1 we find that a       

voluntary motion is always preceded by  
the idea of that motion4 ,the idea is   
first and the will follows the idea4    
,ideas have definite sensory centers in 
the cortex of the brain and conscious   
ideation may be induced to produce a    
particular form of willing4 ,all        
voluntary action depends1 first1 upon   
the ideas of action1 then the willing to
 do1 then the doing4 ,the will-power1 in
 its accelerating and restraining       
impulses1 is modified by the degree of  
the intensity of the idea4 ,grief1 fear1
 worry1 anger1 despondency1 anxiety1    
hate1 resistance are all negative ideas 
that weaken the idea centers and produce
 weakness of willing4 ,these ideas      
persisted in at first produce indecision
 and after a while absolute inaction    
because the patient has lost the perfect
 co-relation of his idea centers1 which 
associate instinct1 reason1 emotion and 
intuition4  ,in order to get complete   
control of the will we must get complete
 control of the idea centers and induce 

strong1 positive ideas which the will   
cannot refuse to follow4  ,when we      
associate all states of                 
consciousness--instinct1 reason1        
emotion1 and intuition1 in one strong1  
centralized idea1 it is impossible for  
physical expression to do anything else 
than follow this idea4  ,when one has   
come into certain conditions of         
negativeness in any part of his mind1   
and continues in it for any length of   
time1 it takes more than his own power  
to modify these intensified conditions  
and bring about an inhibiting power of  
mind which will crowd them out1 and     
allow the idea centers to receive a new 
thought-form and intensify it so that   
the will can pass it into action4  ,the 
abnormal individual is always weak in   
obeying his ideas and carrying out his  
impulse because there is a dissociation 
of idea centers and his mind becomes    
mixed in its responses and he cannot    
make for a true1 harmonious expression  
on all of the planes of mind within     

himself--this is the condition of the   
neurasthenic and psychasthenic1 and he  
needs some mind stronger than his own to
 hold his ideas true to what he knows to
 be true4  ,the first lesson for the    
diseased mental patient to learn is that
 if he wants to keep his mental balance 
or restore it1 he must first inhibit all
 negative ideation and refuse to allow  
himself to be driven into wild bursts of
 psychical or mental energy along any   
one line4 ,he must force himself to     
interest his mind in other things and to
 inhibit the over-active states of      
thinking4 ,this is best done by a       
complete change of environment1 and     
often a change of friends4 ,friends and 
environment1 more than any other things1
 have the greatest power of keeping the 
mind intensified in its old thought     
ruts4  ,there is little hope of         
receiving a new ideation and acting upon
 it1 when one allows himself day after  
day to drag through the same central    
sensations and receive the same nerve   

impulses1 and register the same         
responses4 ,by removing to a new        
environment1 and substituting new mental
 and psychical vibrations the old states
 of consciousness are allowed to rest   
while a new unworked state of mind      
begins4  ,psychical development is not a
 disease2 it is an attribute of         
individual growth2 no one is to blame if
 he has it or has it not2 all that      
anyone needs to know is the truth about 
it and just how to control it and direct
 it4 ,subjective hearing and vision come
 just as naturally to us as life and    
death--they are a part of the great plan
 of unfoldment4  ,in teaching man to    
co-relate his many states of developing 
consciousness into one powerful state of
 mind1 we use our everyday common sense4
 ,we give him a place of mental power   
and after such training he opens or     
shuts his mind to suit himself2 he can  
live in either extension of             
consciousness at will and extending his 
understanding into the transcendent side

 of his own mind1 he can become the     
modern mystic or seer4 ,he can function 
in the purely material side of himself  
or he can become an intensified psychic 
or mystic by simply suspending and      
intensifying different centers within   
himself4  ,concentration1 centralization
 in ideas1 conscious mental             
substitution1 creation of strong mental 
ideas1 and psychic displacement of the  
negative with the positive1 both by the 
patient within himself and from the     
attendant or physician without1 will    
bring insanity under control4  ,when men
 fully understand their own mind's      
scope1 they will find that what the     
world calls un-natural states of        
consciousness1 are only cerebral and    
psychic disassociation4  ,the greater   
freedom of the race1 and the cure and   
control of insanity will be found in the
 deeper study of all levels of mind     
rather than the one or the few4 ,only as
 physical science unites with           
metaphysical1 and these both unite with 

scientific psychical investigation1 will
 humanity pass toward a solution of its 
insanity problems4 ,insanity1 delusions1
 hallucinations1 the so-called mental   
diseases will pass just because they    
have been naturally displaced by our    
higher scientific preventive            
psycho-therapy4  ,the asylum doors will 
only open as a place of refuge where men
 and women will be taught the psychology
 of the self2 there will be schools not 
cells4 ,outside the asylum doors there  
will be an ever increasing crowd of     
intelligent men and women psychologists1
 who will be awake to the first hint of 
psychic disassociation in an individual4
 ,with keen insight and scientific      
direction1 they will teach the beginning
 paranoic1 melancholic1 neurasthenic1   
clairvoyant and psychasthenic the truth 
about themselves and the first hint of  
disassociation will be replaced by      
association1 and rest homes1 asylums and
 sanitarium doors will close forever6   
,the ,law ,eternal    ,for since the    

fathers fell asleep all things continue 
as they were from the ,creation4        
,whenever we read the stories in the    
,bible1 our minds are held with a deep  
interest1 for through all its pages and 
in all its words1 there breathes out the
 history of the hopes1 dreams and       
aspirations of human hearts1 and above  
every other story or hope or dream1     
there stands first in absorbing interest
 the history of the man ,jesus1 with his
 wonderfully inspired life4 ,this       
wonderful ,christ life as given in      
history is a benediction to the world1  
and his teachings have given us a great 
inextinguishable hope4 ,in all his      
history there is one profound principle 
that never becomes obscured1 and that is
 his eternal adherence to the ,law of   
,life4 ,he never forgot to speak the    
word that should show the true laws of  
,cause and ,effect4  ,nearly all the    
people of his day followed the letter of
 his word and not the spirit4 ,when he  
spoke in parables they interpreted in   

fact1 and even when he said3 ,i go to   
prepare a place for you1 and if ,i go   
and prepare a place1 ,i will come again 
and receive ye unto myself1 that where  
,i am1 there ye may be also1 they       
believed and interpreted it to mean     
really material facts1 and began to     
build up their finite hope for a future 
kingdom1 totally blind to the deep      
subjective law of his spoken word4      
,they really believed that if they      
waited a few years1 at most1 ,jesus     
would return unto them1 and in triumph  
and power gather them together and raise
 up a community of peace and love in    
this earth plane4 ,they believed that   
through this they would become monarchs 
of a new world4 ,nothing in their minds 
revealed the impossibility of material  
form without fundamental facts beneath  
them4  ,the sick and suffering and      
discouraged of every class1 knowing     
nothing of the higher laws1 laid this   
hope to their hearts1 and filled with a 
courage built on this belief1 they      

taught themselves to stand silent       
beneath scorn and persecution1 feeling  
inwardly1 that when the hour of         
,christ's return came1 their life would 
suddenly become powerful through some   
new dispensation4  ,the years came and  
went1 one after another the apostles    
died with their hope still in their     
hearts2 at last1 only the lengthened    
life of ,john was left on which to hang 
expectancy1 then he1 too1 died and the  
,jesus of their hope had not returned4  
,even then the church was reluctant to  
give up its teaching of the letter and  
it still held1 that even while a few    
followers remained whose term reached   
back to ,christ's time1 it was not too  
late for his return1 and the son of man 
might yet be sustained in his earthly   
kingdom4  ,time went on until even the  
oldest memories of the promises passed2 
change after change came1 and man could 
no longer find a finite place for his   
faith and trust1 and then1 as human life
 was pushed on by the great resistless  

ebb-tide of the ,infinite1 those who    
were still clinging to this false hope1 
broke forth in a wail of despair1 and   
they cried1 ,where is the promise of    
,his coming8 ,for since the fathers fell
 asleep1 all things continue as they    
were from the creation4  ,we who read   
their history today and know the truth  
of ,life's finer relationships1 cannot  
but feel a pity for their failure1 and  
the lingering death of their expectancy1
 even while we see that it was built on 
superficial human understanding4  ,in   
the great unrelated1 ignorant hope of   
these people1 we can read in letters of 
fire1 the proof of the certainty of     
disappointment of every human hope that 
has not its conscious union with the    
great universal ,laws of ,life4  ,we can
 see now with the calm vision of those  
who have no part in their superstition  
that their hope was never built on the  
understanding and wisdom of creation1   
but upon weak1 human desires and narrow 
personal expectation4  ,it can easily be

 seen that under the great ,law ,eternal
 it was not possible1 that after        
training only a small part of the human 
race-thought there could be a return1 a 
king of any sort1 or that there could   
follow the perfecting of the race in any
 such a narrow1 limited1 personal way4  
,when ,truth has become revealed to the 
minds of men1 they at once see that laws
 remain1 and that the human race is     
bound to fit itself to these1 and       
looking back over the centuries1 and on 
into the future1 we find that ,jesus    
taught us when he said1 ,i come not to  
destroy the ,law1 but to fulfill it4    
,today we see how everything waits upon 
its own cause1 and how change is only   
brought about by the processes of       
regular unfoldment4 ,we know now that   
the ,whole can only come into expression
 through the ,part1 and that the        
fulfillment of an individual1 a nation1 
or a race must come under the silent    
operation of those spiritual laws of    
human understanding which neither the   

race nor the individual can outstrip4   
,,god is ,,law1 and ,,law began when    
,,life began and only a deep union with 
the finer relationships of ,life can    
ever bring us into ,,dominion of power4 
,there has ever been and ever will be   
many expressions of ,,law1 and between  
the ,absolute expression and the finite 
results there must ever be the grinding 
to dust and ashes of things which oppose
 either the lesser or the larger        
unfoldment4  ,when we look at life from 
the limited1 personal view we can only  
see from the boundary line of the       
unfathomed self2 but as we come into    
deeper consciousness1 we learn that     
expectation and promise built on        
personal hope is one thing1 and         
expectation and promise built on        
universal understanding of universal    
action is another4  ,we are a part of   
everything in the universe and as we    
come to look through the personal to the
 universal1 we see clearly the          
inseparable ,,oneness of                

,god-consciousness and                  
man-consciousness1 and as we understand 
and master this relationship1 we can    
read the real answer to our question3   
,where are the promises8  ,human life   
has always been1 and always will be1    
only the unfolding of the personal mind 
into recognition of the ,absolute ,mind4
  ,the ,universe is under the ,law      
,eternal and in the degree that we know 
this1 we stop our limitations2 mankind  
is free in the ,absolute ,law1 and only 
seemingly bound in the finite one4 ,not 
one jot or tittle of the ,law ever      
passes away2 all laws exist to be       
fulfilled1 but human life evolves from  
level to level of consciousness1 and    
through relationship with higher        
understanding it escapes the primitive  
expressions of the lower laws and unites
 itself with the higher4  ,the very     
first truth1 then1 for any life to learn
 is1 that in this universe of law and   
order1 we get just what we relate       
with--no more1 no less6 ,nothing        

happens2 everything is the natural      
expression of the action which produces 
it4  ,jesus came into the world under   
the law of his own life2 he was born to 
pass along and die expressing the forms 
of his higher knowledge2 he came and    
went under his own laws1 but these were 
too obscure for the minds of that race  
to comprehend1 and they lived1 hoped and
 died1 ignorant of his great ,cosmic    
relationship4 ,jesus was a son of the   
planet and his mission was to set laws  
of race consciousness into activity     
which would act as a spiritual fulcrum  
throughout the ages4  ,what was true in 
these olden days is still true today2 we
 often go on hoping that fulfillment    
will come1 when by the very nature of   
what we are doing1 we cannot get the    
higher expression4 ,take the simple     
things of our everyday life1 our hope of
 health or our hope of love1 wealth1    
place1 happiness1 success and           
usefulness2 often we really do hope to  
be well1 and plan in a way for that end1

 while really at the same time every    
breath we draw builds for the transitory
 and fleeting4 ,like the ,christians of 
old we do not understand higher         
relationships1 and at last1 worn out    
with disappointment we cry1 ,where are  
the promises8 and do not see that until 
we have perfect thought relationships1  
we cannot hope for perfect results4 ,it 
takes deep perception to find the       
immutable law that all physical         
phenomena is mental arrangement4  ,we   
get everything we find expressing in    
life through the law of conscious or    
unconscious thinking6 ,we have1 and hold
 and keep only the things we create for 
ourselves2 there is no other law2 no one
 can take our own away2 no one can give 
us anything1 for only what we create is 
our own1 and we alone must create it in 
consciousness before we can possess it4 
,when we create it in consciousness we  
really set the law in operation for     
ourselves and this law will pass it into
 form4  ,we make our relationships      

through the thoughts of our mind4 ,our  
mind is the universal mind1 and it is   
inseparably connected with everything in
 the universe2 and whatever we have or  
have not is a signal of just what we    
have related with in consciousness4     
,this is the unwritten action of the    
,,law2 no one limits us but ourselves2  
the ,universal ,life stands ready with  
its many levels of relationships to give
 to every one according to the power he 
has to create for himself and he is     
really and truly judged according to the
 deeds done in the body4  ,jesus could  
not give an ignorant and undeveloped    
race the gift of a glorified kingdom2   
nor could they give it to themselves    
until they had related in consciousness 
with the laws that would produce it1 the
 thing we want and our point of         
attraction must be equal4  ,we come into
 life under correct laws2 one is not    
born a ,jew1 an ,assyrian1 an           
,englishman or an ,american by chance2  
nor is one born well and rich1 and      

another sick and poor by chance1 but    
,,each is the expression of the ,,laws  
with which he has related in his own    
consciousness4  ,thoughts are things and
 it is a part of the ,universal plan    
that thoughts from the human mind reach 
out into the ,universal1 or ,cosmic     
mind1 and there generate an ,,energy    
which must in time embody in ,,form and 
become the world picture of just what   
has been stimulated into expression4    
,when thinking passes into a fixed power
 in our life it can be used to destroy  
or construct the body or the environment
 and every thought spoken or unspoken is
 registered in thought forms in our     
atmospheric environment and must some   
day pass into material form4  ,health is
 the expression of a law brought about  
by a certain line of thinking and       
disease is another expression4 ,wealth  
is one law1 poverty is another1 and any 
life can choose this day which he wishes
 to be under1 and choose this hour which
 law he will serve1 and ,jesus said1    

,whomsoever ye yield yourself servants  
to obey1 his servants ye are1 whether it
 be sin unto death or salvation unto    
righteousness4  ,jesus did not return to
 his disciples as they expected1 because
 there was no ,universal ,law for such  
return4 ,just so with ,health1 ,wealth1 
,love1 ,joy and ,happiness4 ,they can   
never come into expression for us so    
long as there is not established within 
us the ,law of ,natural ,relationships4 
,we are learning at last that ,since the
 fathers fell asleep all things continue
 as they were from the creation1 and it 
takes more than a fond imagination to   
pass our life from the law of inharmony1
 desire and pain1 into the higher one of
 peace1 power and happiness4  ,the      
moment a life desires anything it       
instantly becomes related with that     
thing1 but it does not become a         
possession until all the conditions are 
fulfilled4 ,some minds think so lightly 
of everything that nothing ever becomes 
steadfast and certain4 ,they drift      

aimlessly between loss and gain1 health 
and disease1 crying out1 ,where are the 
promises1 never realizing that promises 
are only fulfilled when the whole       
selfhood becomes grappled to the rock of
 understanding4  ,human life is only a  
growing time1 and each life will remain 
just where it is and express the laws of
 its level of consciousness until it    
develops out from them into others4     
,sickness1 poverty1 wretchedness1       
disappointed hopes are common in the    
journey of ,life2 despairing human lives
 are common too1 and lives full of      
rebellion can be found on every hand1   
but all these are the products of       
thoughts that produced them and show    
just where the consciousness has        
lingered4  ,freedom from all these      
negative human experiences comes as the 
reward of inner growth2 it can only come
 through unfoldment and transmutation   
into higher understanding4 ,human pain  
and loss1 despair and disease1 and the  
heart-breaks of life1 are all the fruits

 of the ,tree of ,life whose root is    
,truth4  ,when sickness1 sorrow and     
unhappiness have taken the place of     
health and joy in our life1 we have no  
one to blame but ourselves2 we can know 
that through a long line of perverted   
thinking1 both inherited and acquired1  
we have become related with the laws in 
consciousness1 and these laws are       
thoughts of self1 hate1 jealousy1       
strife1 condemnation1 resistance1 etc4  
,we have thought it unconsciously in the
 past1 but until we stop and get up new 
thought relationships1 these old things 
must go on4 ,when we know the higher    
truth of ,new ,thought ,relationship1   
and the power of constructive thinking1 
we can begin then and there to change   
things and we instantly can clean out   
all the distorted thought energy1 and   
pass the simple act of thinking into a  
creative form1 quitting forever our     
response to the negative things around  
us4  ,we see the truth of ,whatsoever a 
man soweth1 that also shall he reap1 and

 we see1 too1 that this harvest field   
where we reap is the human life1 and the
 seeds are thoughts1 and we then and    
there fill our field of consciousness   
with thought-seeds of ,health1          
,strength1 ,peace1 ,love1 ,joy and all  
the ten thousand beautiful constructive 
things1 and we soon are living in a     
perfected thought world1 surrounded by  
the dream pictures of our soul          
consciousness4 ,we become like mystical 
seers1 we can prophesy then about       
everything in our life without fear of  
contradiction1 for knowing the ,law that
 on the path ,like produces ,like1 and  
knowing the thought-seeds we sow1 we can
 be certain of the future harvest4      
,under the ,law ,eternal we cease to    
consider ourselves related to anything  
that we do not want4 ,these things we do
 not want have ceased to exist for us1  
in the moment we have forgotten them in 
consciousness4 ,we must refuse even to  
connect with them in memory4 ,sometimes 
this is a hard lesson3 ,the ,law of     

,memory is a peculiar force1 it is the  
expression of fixed thinking--that which
 we cannot forget has made deep inroads 
into consciousness4 ,memory often keeps 
us related in strange ways1 and hinders 
our unfoldment4 ,memory is the          
connecting link between the yesterday   
and today2 it makes the past always the 
present and it remains the master of    
many lives and pours what it will into  
the field of consciousness until it is  
conquered4  ,we cannot go on to peace1  
power and divine unfoldment while we are
 wrapped around with olden memories1    
olden idols1 fears and bondage4  ,it is 
an unwritten law that we pass on as we  
become fit1 and any life can at any     
moment come away from the thought law of
 sin1 sickness and death1 into the law  
of peace1 power1 happiness and joy4     
,the great ,god-life wants us to have   
whatever we want1 and will help us to   
get it and keep it4 ,we have been told  
for ages to ask and receive1 seek and   
find1 knock and it shall be opened4 ,the

 ,universal waits upon our recognition  
of its presence and before we ask it is 
given4 ,the moment we know what we want 
and ask for it under the higher law of  
recognition1 it is ours1 then we only   
have to wait until we can manifest it4  
,over the same thought line which we    
pass out our desires1 there passes back 
to us the answer to our prayers and our 
human pathway blossoms with the fruits  
and flowers of our deeper understanding4
  ,the law of bondage will never become 
the law of liberty1 but each one of us  
may come away into this perfect law of  
creative thinking as soon as we teach   
ourselves the simple act of picking out 
thoughts that relate us with the higher 
things of life4 ,the kinds of positions1
 friends1 conditions and environment we 
attract to ourselves under the positive 
conscious relationship are entirely     
different from the ones we will attract 
under the negative destructive thought  
laws4 ,good friends1 happy environment1 
peace and love1 are not made from the   

material of mind that recognizes only   
lack1 loss1 envy1 despair1 fear1        
condemnation and resistance4  ,when we  
want health1 we must think health       
thoughts and become one with the laws   
that make for health and live at        
health's heights2 when we want wealth we
 must create a wealth thought vibration 
and link our lives with the levels of   
wealth4 ,all the grand1 good things of  
earth can only come and gather around us
 when we have lifted our consciousness  
to the level at which they can be       
touched4  ,in the light of this higher  
understanding we can see that in just   
the proportion that our human nature    
rises towards the ,universal ,wisdom1   
our human perception becomes widened1   
until1 at last1 we include all the laws 
of higher living1 thinking and being1   
and we bring from the hidden center     
within ourselves a profound knowledge4  
,as our life grows more and more in the 
power of perception1 we retire farther  
and farther from the personal1 the      

pessimistic1 the limited belief of      
selfishness1 condemnation1 resistance1  
and we begin a new thought life filled  
with moral1 intellectual and spiritual  
glory1 and even though since the fathers
 fell asleep all things continue as they
 were from the creation1 we see the true
 laws of creation1 and making pur minds 
one with these laws we pass with them   
and through them on to perfected human  
wisdom1 we turn to the daily life then  
with a higher1 holier and more glorified
 purpose and out from all the gloom of  
the past we find the promises have all  
been answered and that ,god has provided
 some better things for us1 which       
without us could not be made perfect4   
,the final word1 then1 to the sick1     
discouraged and diseased world is this3 
,the righteous are in the hands of their
 ,god 7the ,,law7 and their life is full
 of immortality1 and knowing this anyone
 may recognize their conscious union    
with whatever they desire2 create it in 
their human thought world and project it

 into form in the ,cosmic               
,consciousness2 then with wide open soul
 eyes walk calmly on1 expecting it and  
never laying down their demand until it 
manifests for them4     ,the ,outside   
and ,inside of ,life    ,jesus said unto
 him1 go and wash in the pool of        
,siloam4 ,he went his way therefore and 
washed and came seeing4 ,,st4 ,,john    
,,ix1 #g4  ,when we read the history of 
the ages behind us we cannot help but   
see that through every phase of human   
evolution there has run that subtle     
something which men call the power of   
the unseen4  ,matty of our forefathers  
lived in self scrutiny and subjective   
investigation1 and many lived in lawless
 expression of their objective selves   
with no idea of life in its subjective  
action and form4 ,as humanity advanced  
in its reverence it came to where lack  
of attention to regeneration and        
self-comprehension was followed by an   
inner sense of guilt1 and those who know
 the power of the two states of         

consciousness1 the outer and the inner1 
have grown to where they look upon it as
 abnormal to higher progress1 to only   
enter these finer courts of being just  
to rest and renew the physical body4    
,men instinctively know that life is too
 serious and mighty to pass along on the
 objective side of living without now   
and then going into the center of being 
and holding an earnest deep contact with
 the silent consciousness4  ,in the old 
thought world it was not strange for    
master men in every walk of life to     
pray4 ,the powerful warrior turned his  
eyes from the field of battle to the    
strength of ,heaven2 the trusting       
mourner turned his eyes from the loss of
 earth to the gain of dying2 even       
,milton gave himself to the discords of 
politics in action1 and the symphonies  
of the seraphims4 ,in the silence great 
lives everywhere have mingled the       
meditations of the ,absolute with the   
thoughts of the discordant1             
differentiated and apparent now4  ,there

 is not a family anywhere that does not 
possess at least one person who in      
himself holds the proof of how real and 
earnest a thing are the exercises and   
consciousness of the solitary vigil4    
,there is something of reverence yet in 
many lives as they recall the blessing  
given at meals and the evening hour of  
prayer4 ,to the wayward and those living
 in the control of the outside things of
 life1 it was an hour of bondage1 but to
 those who were at all awakened to the  
call of the inside life1 it was an      
even-tide of peace and power and rest4  
,it cannot be denied that the years have
 brought great changes in the methods of
 human worship4 ,the contempt with which
 some of the later educators treat      
worship and religion betray an ignorance
 on their part both of the true office  
of revelation and reverence1 and this   
blinds them to the real1 innate1        
fundamental longing of human life4      
,there are many who come away from the  
old thought and who believe in the      

promulgation of a new truth1 but they   
attempt to build up the new through the 
destruction of the old1 and pass along  
as ,iconoclasts seeking what they can   
destroy4 ,these lives are the lawful    
product of the undeveloped human        
comprehension1 and the only safety for  
the race is in the fact that only a few 
ever take them seriously1 and these soon
 see that they are not inclusive enough 
to help more than the few1 and that     
after a while1 in order to meet the     
demands of their own increasing         
individuality1 they must themselves pass
 into wider union1 into worship and get 
away from their own limitations4        
,humanity must forever pass between the 
outside and the inside of life1 and only
 as each soul becomes awake in both     
conditions can it understand and unite  
with the laws of perfect being4  ,new   
,thought is conscious of the open door  
between the inside and the outside of   
life1 the earth and ,heaven1 and it     
knows that each soul may live from      

choice in either state of consciousness 
and pass in and out at will4  ,man      
instinctively knows the difference      
between the inside and the outside of   
living2 he can easily detect the laws of
 action1 and the laws of silence4 ,the  
tendency of our ,new ,thought           
development is to teach lives to pass   
more and more into the inside power or1 
in other words1 to come into the unseen 
laws of being and work consciously with 
the energy that creates and which is    
unmanifested1 while at the same time    
they manipulate the manifested1 external
 things1 and through the understanding  
of the finite are able to bring into    
expression the absolute power4  ,it is  
slowly dawning upon the present day     
intelligence that through this inner    
side of mind we can become more and more
 capable of controlling and directing   
the outer states of human consciousness 
and men are recognizing more and more   
that all physical objective form is     
inner spiritual arrangement4  ,today    

humanity is looking at the cant and form
 and creed of the crowd1 and giving them
 their own rightful place1 power and    
function1 but it is also looking at the 
unseen and daring to affirm that an     
audience with ,god is attainable1       
certain and possible and productive of  
its own natural expressions in its own  
realm of higher recognition4  ,today    
more than ever before new strength is   
being born into what the world calls the
 devotional element of humanity and it  
is being born on a sane1 healthy plane  
of understanding which bids fair to     
revolutionize the world4  ,it does not  
take long to see1 when we look with a   
clear vision1 that those who display    
most power today1 and who are productive
 of the greatest good to the developing 
world are not those who are living in   
fixed relationship with the outside of  
life2 it is true that those on the outer
 rim may boast of perfect physical      
strength and a perfect brain and a      
physical beauty1 but the victory today  

is not from the without1 but it is      
rather for those who are psychologically
 practical1 mystically enlightened and  
subtle with a deep scientific           
relationship with all nature's finer    
forces and who know life not alone as a 
science or as a philosophy1 or as a     
religion1 but as an art4  ,the truth    
must some day beat its way into the     
developing minds of men that we are now 
alive in a great age1 and are coming to 
where the inside power must become      
externalized and that those who today   
stand masters of life1 and those who    
will continue to become masters of life 
and leaders in power and helpfulness1   
must do it by a development that is not 
so much characterized by their objective
 knowledge as by their subjective       
holiness or wholeness4  ,we must learn  
what we never seem to have learned      
before1 that the moments we spend in the
 external world are not wholly our      
strongest or sanest moments and that all
 external outside action is the crudest 

form of energy1 and that when we want   
the real1 we must turn the clear deep   
eye of our nature toward the inner1 the 
silent1 and then all our power seems to 
well up and meet us1 because it is      
called in from the apparent to the      
,absolute of being4  ,the next great    
truth is that all the old ways of life  
are never thrown away until we have     
something to live by in the new2 old    
truths never die1 they are always       
existent1 but their methods of          
expression must be changed to suit the  
developing intellectuality and          
spirituality of man4  ,in the old       
thought life prayer was the pathway to  
the interior world of power1 but today  
we know that recognition must be the    
guide to the interior world of power4   
,prayer was the pathway of the old      
forefathers and prayer in its first     
inception was a straight road to the    
center of divine union1 but after the   
minds of men1 befogged between the      
glamour of the external and the power of

 the internal1 evolved a form of prayer 
that led the race away from its center  
out into the rim of living1 the power   
ceased2 prayer became full of cant and  
form1 words became meaningless and      
non-mystical2 the truth that ,god is a  
,spirit and they that worship ,him must 
worship ,him in spirit and in truth was 
lost in the increasing bewilderment of  
the mind4  ,after a while humanity1     
seeing the futility of objective kind of
 prayer1 ceased its praying1 not because
 it had worn out prayer1 not because it 
had wandered from its desire of worship 
and soul communion1 but because it had  
worn out the old useless method1 and    
found the dross of the letter2 no one   
stood developed to where he could push  
faith into a new interpretation4  ,self 
examination and supplication is natural 
to every life as soon as it develops to 
a finer knowledge of what passes within 
itself4 ,until the last man of the earth
 is dead this natural cry for the       
communion with the inner states of      

consciousness and the union with the    
great absolute ,god-life will rise up   
and flourish and wax strong in the souls
 of men4  ,we have learned now too much 
of the inside of living to ever be happy
 with the outside form alone1 and we    
have seen too much of the unseen forces 
within us to ever yield ourselves       
servants completely to the external     
powers4 ,our spiritual analysis is too  
fine to permit crude interpretation4    
,men are leaving the old just as the    
seed must forever leave the mould and   
dust of earth1 and push its stalk up    
into heaven's bright sunshine4  ,today  
we stop and in close self questioning   
and with a desire to know the truth1 and
 nothing but the truth1 ,we ask what is 
it that has rendered the old thought    
piety of our fathers unnatural and      
impossible to us8 ,it does not take long
 to answer this if we look with eyes    
that have clearer sight4 ,men have      
turned away simply because they were too
 developed to be fed on the husks of a  

worn out expression that was no longer  
large enough to satisfy their developing
 thirst for ,truth4  ,our ,new ,thought 
methods have come because men built them
 with their desires2 they called for    
methods that would fit the increasing   
spiritual comprehension of developing   
humanity4  ,today mankind is            
instinctively recoiling from every sense
 of separation from ,god which our      
fathers felt2 human life has become more
 human2 the outside of life is known at 
its real value1 the inside of life is   
given its place and power2 ,love has    
become vitalized2 human affection has   
become sweet and natural2 human duties  
are blessed privileges and life is      
elevated to a pinnacle of power before  
unknown2 social interests are now       
beginning in all and ending in all2 the 
whole scheme of man's natural moral and 
religious existence has a true worth and
 dignity of its own1 and humanity is    
listening1 accepting and delighting to  
honor and obey4 ,only the life in the   

outside ranks of living will ever       
condemn this new rise of power1 and only
 the cowardly can despise2 it is whole1 
sane1 sweet and divinely human and      
humanly divine in its application and   
privileges4  ,we lost1 perhaps1 a great 
part of the old time manner of communion
 with ,god because we first lost the old
 time spirit of supplication and the    
groveling spirit of the outside world1  
but we have not lost communion or       
devotion4  ,today we are at home in the 
center of being1 and feel and know      
,,oneness4 ,we have union now just as   
those who know truth have always had1   
but the method differs1 and ,silence has
 taken the place of the spoken prayer1  
meditation and silence is the new       
pathway to the ,cosmic heart1 and       
through this the developing children of 
men walk into perfect union1 receiving  
the messages of the ,divine ,host4 ,they
 come into a grand comradeship with     
,god1 not in the old time spirit of     
supplication and service1 not asking1   

not seeking really1 not even            
penitentially suppliant1 but in the new 
found glory of a faith that looks up in 
perfect confidence of its ,,oneness1 and
 which speaks from the very depth of its
 own glorified selfhood1 and knows that 
,i and my ,father are one and all my    
,father hath is mine4  ,the new race    
will keep all that is vital in the old  
one of prayer and communion1 and it will
 add to it all the great power of its   
own awakened consciousness4 ,we are     
awake now--wide awake to the despotism  
of the outside world and its laws--and  
we are equally awake to the law of the  
inner side of life and the dominion of  
the world of pure ,being4  ,today the   
silence of our new understanding has    
become for developed humans the pathway 
of ,god1 and it is indeed the pool of   
,siloam in which all may bathe and be   
healed4  ,the ,silence becomes for those
 who seek it a well of living water that
 springs up into everlasting life4  ,it 
is promised that the pure in heart shall

 see ,god1 and anyone who comes away    
from the outside of life and comes      
stripped to the soul into the inner side
 of his own being will find ,god there1 
for like the vision of the monk1 ,he is 
always there1 waiting to be manifest4   
,the outside of life is beautiful and   
sweet and has in it many forms of       
self-realization2 it is part of the plan
 of human development1 but it is only a 
part and the lesser side of living1 and 
after we have mastered its secrets and  
understood our own relationship to it1  
it is natural to turn inward1 and read  
the other side of our life's picture1   
and when we do this it will be strange  
indeed if we do not feel the ,eternal   
presence so close upon our soul that we 
will long to say with bated breath1     
,thou ,god seest me4  ,the silence of   
the inner side of life and the power it 
produces cannot be put into words2 it is
 the pathway to the ,absolute and the   
language of that land is not spoken in  
the outer world of sense and sight4     

,know the inner side of life1 then live 
it--this is the pathway of peace and    
power and along this way there is found 
that strange vital1 vibrant glow of     
spiritual illumination sanctifying our  
senses1 and filling our soul and leading
 our mind into the fulness of ,him who  
fills all4  ,life then becomes for us a 
something divinely sent1 no longer      
distraught2 no longer to suffer2 nothing
 but reality and a reality that has been
 known by millions throughout the ages  
and will be known by millions yet       
unborn4  ,do not think that this turning
 into the inner side of living is       
weakness and cowardice and fear of the  
external world and its happenings2 it is
 not1 it is simply all energies united2 
it is not fear nor halting power1 but it
 is rather the strength of the          
superhuman2 it is not illusion1 not     
self-hypnotism2 it is a divine reality2 
it is ,god's witness to those who seek  
after his illuminated heights4  ,this   
living in the inner side of life each   

day is essential for the preservation of
 equalization of our daily life4 ,the   
outside of life cannot help but become  
wearisome1 and when we come away into   
the silence of our inner self1 we find  
the thrill of life and we find the human
 made radiant with the glory of the     
,divine4  ,the inner side of life       
answers all the questionings of our     
mind1 and as we learn this truth we     
depend less and less upon the things    
created1 but live constantly in the     
energy that creates1 and through this   
operate our whole life4  ,silence was   
first in the scheme of creation4        
,remember this3 ,the darkness and the   
silence knew4 ,so is a man's fate born4 
,there is no creation that will last    
that is born on the plane of external   
action for the law of that plane is     
change4 ,in the hush of the valley of   
silence we accumulate the inward power  
which pushes our external expression    
into bloom4 ,in the inner side of living
 the soul enlarges its dimensions and   

when it comes back into the earthly     
things it gilds them with a glory not   
their own4  ,the inner side of life and 
its power is not a mysterious thing1 it 
is only the finding of ,god1 and when we
 meet ,him face to face1 we speak in a  
new tongue2 we live in a temple not made
 by hands1 eternal in the heavens1 and  
we live in the truth of the olden       
mystics and say with the power of our   
new consciousness3 ,our ,father1        
hallowed be ,thy name1 ,thy kingdom has 
come1 ,thy will is done on earth1 as it 
is in ,heaven4     ,the ,measure of     
,ourself    ,and he that talked with me 
had a golden reed to measure the city1  
and the gates thereof and the wall      
thereof4 ,and the length and the breadth
 and the height are equal4  ,the        
building of a glorious perfected        
selfhood1 this is the work of every     
life4  ,we all come into existence equal
 in privilege1 we are all born equal in 
latent power1 which1 if developed1 will 
keep us shoulder to shoulder in this    

game of living out2 but not until this  
latent power is developed and brought   
out into external manifestation can any 
life really declare its mastery4  ,life 
has one grand prize for all1 and this   
prize is life's master position4 ,the   
chance to compete for this prize is     
given to all at birth1 but the power to 
push forward in the pursuit of it is    
only developed by those who know that it
 is really within them1 and knowing this
 begin systematically to unfold it4 ,not
 everyone is equal in the               
externalization of this latent energy1  
and no matter how much or how little any
 life may possess it1 still it has its  
own point of contact for power1 and it  
can come forth in its own way in wisdom 
of conquest4  ,life as we find it here  
on earth is like a great garden2 each   
soul comes into this world garden and   
its place and keynote is struck upon the
 harp of life and the registration is   
made in the universal harmony2 then it  
must work out its own part until it     

comes into perfect tune with the other  
parts of the great universal chord4     
,not a life is born into expression     
here1 but in the unseen realm an angel  
or higher master ministers at its birth1
 and its name is written in the ,lamb's 
book of life 7or the ,universal ,cosmic 
,mind74 ,each life drops into its own   
selected and appointed place2 it has its
 own special mission to perform1 its own
 lessons to learn1 its own part to work 
out1 and its own grand privilege of     
development4  ,in essence all life is   
one1 and all humanity is the same2 the  
,one ,life is in all and through all1   
without regard to class1 creed or color1
 but in manifested expression we must   
forever be different2 some lives are    
younger in their unfoldment--they are   
unfinished2 some have finer bodies      
through which to manifest consciousness2
 some are born into positions where     
there is more required of them than of  
others1 for the price of usefulness is  
the ability to be useful2 some are never

 useful and live idle aimless lives     
because they have not yet incorporated  
within themselves the power to be of use
 to others4  ,the nation1 the race1 the 
individual and the environment are      
simply signals which we hang upon       
ourself of just what we created and     
unfolded within our own consciousness4  
,we come the reaper of the things we    
sowed1 and just where we find ourselves 
here is the picture of how well or how  
ill we have used the years behind us1   
but the privilege of new use and new    
development is still within us2 we stand
 each day on the threshold of a new     
lifetime1 ready to begin over and over  
again our new unfoldment4  ,around each 
life is the ,all ,consciousness1 and it 
can fashion for itself a new world1 made
 of the cosmic substance with which it  
is connected4  ,the great unfolding mass
 of humanity pass along1 taking         
themselves as a confused bundle of      
states of being1 acted upon by the      
external force of people and            

environment1 and in turn acting back    
with no conscious idea of creation1     
never knowing that with what measure we 
mete it shall be meted unto us4  ,this  
process of being acted upon and acting  
back unconsciously1 produces a type of  
energy that cannot fail but bring forth 
masses of individuals who are in        
bondage1 body1 mind and spirit1 for     
spirit has not sensed its eternal       
birthright of liberty4  ,looking at this
 world garden full of natural wild      
flowers1 called the human race1 ,new    
,thought sees clearly that whatever     
response an individual gives to his     
environment is the evidence of his own  
special power1 and that this personal   
power may1 by conscious control and     
direction1 give him complete mastery1   
and through this he passes uninterrupted
 into possession of life's master       
position and the prize of peace and     
power and wisdom4  ,the individual is   
always the actor2 the environment is    
always acted upon1 and this acting and  

acting upon again gives forth an        
expression1 and the exchange and        
inter-exchange between the two produces 
what the world calls the character of a 
life1 and looking upon the product of   
this play of forces1 we say he is a     
genius1 he is a thief1 he is a ,god-man1
 or1 he is a degenerate1 measuring with 
the example that is hung before our     
eyes4  ,up to this point all men are    
really equal2 they are simply alive in  
consciousness1 but just as the gardener 
takes the flower and transplants it to  
specialized soil1 and causes it to bud  
and bloom with all the energy within it1
 just so man's own consciousness can    
take his soul and teach him how he can  
lift himself into states of specialized 
human power and show forth all the glory
 of a divinely developed man4  ,everyone
 can take his place at any level of     
living that he chooses just as soon as  
he knows that there is no one to say no 
to him but himself4  ,strong positive   
thoughts put truth into the hearts of   

men1 and this builds them upward and    
inward towards harmony4  ,this great    
universal law of harmonious             
consciousness is the reed with which    
everyone may measure himself and with   
which each one is taught to take his own
 dimensions and never lay it down until 
his city of character stands equal in   
height1 breadth1 and depth1 and length4 
,when we measure ourselves by the golden
 reed of consciousness1 we find by the  
signs of ourself and our environment if 
our city of self is right1 and if it is 
not we can rebuild it in finer          
architectural fashioning4  ,there are   
many lives that have neither breadth1   
nor height1 nor depth1 they have only   
length2 they pass along through life    
tied to one idea or at least a few      
ideas2 they are narrow1 bigoted1 selfish
 and careless about the other dimensions
 of themselves2 they see through their  
glass darkly1 the things of their own   
immediate knowledge are enough for them2
 they are exclusive and powerful in one 

direction1 and humanity might break     
itself to pieces just outside their     
narrow life for they neither hear nor   
care2 they are all right1 secure in     
their length of narrow1 personal        
endeavor4 ,they are afraid of anything  
that is outside of their own field of   
vision1 and their life is altogether too
 small and straight and strained1 for   
any but a few of their own kind to hold 
on to2 their days are full of anxiety   
and worry1 for their hold on truth is   
too weak to bring them to power1 and    
wisdom4  ,again1 after we see how we    
measure in length1 we can turn the      
golden reed upon ourselves for          
specialization in breadth1 and often    
again we find a shortcoming4 ,the       
breadth must also be equal2 we cannot   
fail in our breadth and come into true  
wisdom1 true breadth means              
inclusion--this may vary in degree1 but 
there must never be exclusion of        
anything in the well-rounded character1 
there is conscious selection1 but never 

exclusion2 there is nothing in or under 
or above the earth but that is companion
 with us on our journey toward divine   
unfoldment4  ,to make the breadth of our
 life measure up in fulness1 we must    
look with wide open eyes at everything  
and everyone in life1 and take it at its
 own point of unfoldment4 ,not in every 
life is found true wisdom of thought and
 expression1 but if we know the truth we
 will see past all the undeveloped      
things within1 to the beautiful         
,god-self it is becoming and with wisdom
 and power and love include it in our   
own consciousness1 waiting patiently for
 its development4  ,to have breadth we  
must open our ears and our life to the  
call of the world voice and live to     
answer it4 ,we must hear it socially1   
ethically1 individually1 financially1   
politically1 religiously1 spiritually1  
mentally and physically not only in our 
own way1 but in every way can that one  
find ,god within himself before he can  
find it through humanity2 but when      

measured by the golden reed for the     
building of the new self1 we must find  
,god or ,good in and through every      
living creature4  ,all people love      
themselves and most people love their   
own families2 and this is right and good
 that it is so1 but the breadth and     
height and depth must be equal and that 
means inclusion of the universal as well
 as the personal self4 ,jesus again told
 this when he said to the man who asked 
him ,what shall ,i do that ,i may have  
eternal life8 ,and ,he said unto him3   
,keep the commandments and1 ,thou shalt 
not bear false witness3 ,and the young  
man saith unto ,him1 ',all these things 
have ,i kept from my youth up2 what lack
 ,i yet8' ,jesus saith unto him3 ',if   
thou wilt be perfect1 go and sell all   
that thou hast and give to the poor1 and
 thou shalt have treasure in ,heaven and
 come and follow me4' ,but when the     
young man heard that saying1 he went    
away sorrowful1 for he had great        
possessions4 ,so when ,jesus measured   

him by the reed of breadth and deeper   
inclusion1 he followed him no more1 for 
the height1 the breadth and the depth   
were not equal4  ,to give to ourselves  
and to our own1 or to those who seem to 
have a claim on us for anything1 is     
good1 but1 to give to those who have not
 claim or kinship nor power over us is  
greatness4 ,to include them in our own  
world1 not by might or force1 but       
through recognition of union with the   
one life--this is consciousness of      
breadth that remains immortal4  ,again1 
the depth of a life must be equal1 and  
how do we lack in this8 ,there are      
thousands today who flit along on the   
crest of the wave of life's current1    
butterfly-like2 they never really have a
 conscious thought4 ,if it only does not
 affect me is their watchword1 and      
freedom from anything serious is their  
only really serious problem4 ,they know 
in an indifferent way that hearts break1
 that tears fall1 that there are prayers
 that stagger upward through life's     

storm1 but the froth and foam of life is
 in their eyes2 they look out on the rim
 of a life where they see only          
self-indulgence1 and when now and then  
they are hushed long enough to listen to
 the world cry1 they turn away quickly  
for fear they will actually touch lives 
with the common people4  ,so long as    
they keep afloat they are content1 their
 lack of depth does not disturb them1   
but often after they have wasted their  
all in riotous living1 and the realities
 of life fall upon them1 they cry out   
from the depth of their own self-made   
despair2 their life was like a palace   
built on sand which the first fierce    
flood tide could destroy2 it had no     
root1 no place in consciousness when    
measured by the golden reed--the height1
 the breadth and the depth were unequal4
  ,unless the soul has root in soil     
divine1 it cannot face earth's          
overwhelming expressions of the working 
out of the human laws which it sets in  
motion in the round of human living4    

,the life that would build sublime and  
lasting things to stand the test of     
time1 must drop its consciousness into  
the ,absolute1 and sink the string of   
thought into the fathomless6  ,lights   
and shadows are strangely blended all   
along the human pathway2 so from the    
very center of the deeps of life the    
incense of our illumined selves must    
still send up a faint sweet breath      
outward and onward1--then the breadth as
 touched by the golden reed is equal4   
,again1 the height of the perfect self  
is also measured4 ,no house so low but  
it must have a window opening to the    
sky4  ,again1 there are many lives that 
touch the golden reed as it measures    
outward1 downward1 but are insensible of
 upward power4  ,above the surge and din
 of life1 amid its sorrows and its      
strife1 the soul that comes under the   
glory of the golden reed1 must lift     
itself to the hills of specialized      
wisdom greater then the common          
consciousness4  ,we can find many noble1

 moral1 natural lives equal in length   
and breadth and depth1 but the height is
 lacking4 ,within many minds is lack of 
great sublime ideals1 ideals that should
 be born in the illumined centers of the
 self4 ,there are many who have no      
communion with their source2 they are   
kind1 sociable1 natural1 humanitarian1  
but lacking in that great wonderful     
psychological essence which makes the   
human half divine2 the height of their  
life is unfinished1 the golden reed is  
broken2 they walk on superior in their  
knowledge until in some supreme hour of 
human grief1 their soul is forced       
through some ,gethsemane and opens its  
eyes to the need of a strength beyond   
their own4 ,death1 the grave and love   
teach them to look up1 and hope higher  
than the earthly kingdom4  ,and once    
more the measure of our soul goes on1   
and we find that often all is equal1 but
 the height is over-reached2 there are  
many forgetting breadth and length and  
depth who measure into the very         

hill-tops of illumination1 making their 
whole expression a dream of no value to 
themselves or others4 ,they are pure    
children of spirit2 they live in a world
 peopled with the dream-children of     
their mind and everything they produce  
is vapid and useless in the world in    
which they live and have being2         
everything seems to pass away from them 
and their productions are as nothing    
under the crush and strain of life      
around4  ,use is the world's great test 
of anything2 unless it can be utilized  
by some one it is valueless to aid      
humanity2 everything that comes forth   
into form from any state of             
consciousness must prove its own power  
to persist1 or it vanishes and is       
forgotten4  ,nothing too high1 nothing  
too low1 nothing too wide1 nothing too  
narrow1 too shallow1 but all perfectly  
adjusted--this is the measure of self1  
and when we know this the illumined life
 works out its own unfoldment1 passing  
at will to any degree of consciousness4 

,this is the finished product of the    
life that knows how to specialize in    
consciousness and it is made possible   
through deeper illumination4 ,it gives  
to everyone the glorious physical1 a    
depth of perception1 radiant with a     
refined energy and alive with all the   
latent power of instinct and harmony1   
and with this the brilliant mind with   
its breadth of unanswerable logic1 its  
fine facts1 science of order and laws of
 physical adjustment4 ,and added to both
 these we find the dream vision of the  
psychic1 with the poet's soul of        
inspiration1 sublime ideality and the   
gentle tender heart1 alive with all the 
common human emotions2 and at last1     
blended and transmuted and made vibrant 
by that great spiritual insight born on 
the heights of human revelation we find 
ourselves whole1 grand1 developed1      
humanly divine creatures1 walking in    
glad comradeship with ,god4  ,this is   
the ,holy ,grail of selfhood and in the 
light of our higher understanding we    

look downward and outward and upward1   
and the length and the breadth and the  
height are equal4 ,we pass from the old 
race thought of limitation and live in a
 divine atmosphere1 and can say with a  
wisdom born from this fuller            
comprehension3  ,we know that if our    
house of this earthly tabernacle were   
dissolved1 we have a building of        
,god--an house not made with hands1     
,eternal in the heavens4     ,perfect   
,liberty    ,no man liveth to himself   
and no man dieth to himself4  ,the more 
we look at humanity and study its       
expressions1 the more we become         
convinced of the truth of these words4  
,it is not hard to see that our human   
ties are closely knit with everything   
and everyone1 but it is not always easy 
to understand how they have come to     
their sometimes almost hopeless tangle4 
,we are a part of everything in the     
universe1 seen and unseen1 and as we    
have within us a response to every      
emotion1 hope dream1 impulse of any kind

 known or recognized by the human race4 
,as we study and understand our         
relationship to people1 things and      
expressions1 we cannot help but grow    
deeper and deeper into the clearness of 
the great truth1 namely1 the universal  
and abiding one-ness of man and ,god4   
,some of our relationships in this      
one-ness are very indistinct and        
obscure1 while some are very distinct   
and painfully objectified4  ,the first  
,truth for us to take up is this--we    
have and express in our being and our   
environment just these things with which
 we have related ourselves1 either      
through inherited or acquired lines of  
thinking2 no one gives to us but        
ourselves1 no one takes away from us but
 ourselves1 no one is to blame but      
ourselves whatever we have or have not2 
we1 and we alone1 are the architects of 
our own fortune or misfortune4  ,we get 
everything in life by the law of        
conscious or unconscious relationship   
with it through the simple act of       

thinking2 our thoughts are lines of     
transference over which may pass to us  
not only the things which we desire1 but
 also those which our fear brings down  
upon us and which we do not desire4     
,unconscious relationship differs from  
conscious relationship and brings us the
 things with which we have connected    
through the law of omission2 conscious  
relationship is union1 and brings       
everything into expression under the law
 of commission4  ,both of these lines   
are constant and their results          
undeniable1 but one brings us the whole1
 the constructive1 while the other opens
 our life for the control of the        
destructive1 the limited4  ,when        
thinking passes into a fixed power in   
our life1 it may be used to perfect or  
destroy the whole mechanism of our      
present and our future4 ,long lines of  
conscious and unconscious thinking bring
 about certain expressions1 and these   
expressions in time become a part of our
 very existence1 and our environment1   

good or bad1 bears witness to this      
relationship4  ,one day upon the streets
 of ,boston ,i saw an old woman selling 
newspapers2 her hair was gray1 her skin 
brown and wrinkled1 her clothing shabby 
and only half sufficient for the chill  
of the hour2 she was simply             
poverty-stricken1 and her old1 thin1    
piping voice trembled as she called her 
papers in an effort to compete with the 
crowds of newsboys around her4 ,many    
bought her papers1 drawn to her through 
pity1 and her evident need4 ,i felt     
sorry that with her gray hair so near   
the grave life should have only this to 
offer her1 and ,i sought a reason for   
it4 ,i asked her to tell her story4     
,she was the daughter of a minister2 her
 mother had been the proverbially meek  
little woman of history1 perfectly      
fitted to be her father's wife4 ,her    
grandfathers on both sides of the       
parental tree had been ministers2 she   
gave me a graphic sketch of the long    
line of concentration which she had been

 born into and in which she continued4  
,there was a long line for concentration
 and relationship with lowliness of     
spirit1 for grace1 for the utter sinking
 of self2 lack of demand for place or   
power2 lack of self-righteousness1      
absolute submission sown through        
generations1 sown for her in her own    
life4 ,it had to bring forth its fruit  
and it did bring it forth in the form of
 that gray-haired1 beautiful1 ragged old
 woman1 who1 in the days of her         
declining years1 gathered her harvest on
 the cold streets of a rich city1       
underfed1 poor and alone4  ,she was     
still true to her inherited             
concentration1 for while ,i questioned  
her she said1 ,health1 money and        
happiness were not for her1 and that her
 family had borne the cross of poverty  
and sickness all their lives and borne  
it nobly1 and some day the ,father would
 give them their reward4 ,don't you see 
that the mind that is poised where her  
mind was1 and where her family's mind   

had been for generations1 could not     
escape the law which they had built for 
themselves4  ,here was an example of    
unconscious relationship2 can't you see 
how unwittingly she hourly and daily    
made anew her relations with the very   
things which must by their very nature  
divorce her from the things which she   
never sensed belonged to her4 ,the fixed
 thinking handed down to her from the   
past1 bound her like a galley-slave and 
kept her life held against the law which
 was daily destroying her2 she was      
unconsciously related and she remained  
unconsciously related to the laws which 
made for loss and lack in her life1     
unable to see the paths where she turned
 aside from her ,father's house1 and    
,his universal abundance2 blind to her  
power of new creating4  ,when we begin  
to study our lines of unconscious       
relationship we find that we are        
appalled almost at the ten thousand     
little tendrils which bind us to our old
 relationships2 we think ourselves good 

easy man this moment1 and the next      
moment sees us opening the door of our  
life to thought forms which if          
entertained1 will certainly become for  
us a poor relation1 and demand our      
support for ages4 ,we daily open our    
lives to endless tramp thoughts which   
dwell with us and in the end beggar us4 
,we need hourly to set a guard on our   
field of unconsciousness1 and absolutely
 refuse to admit into our daily mind any
 thoughts less than those which         
distinctly relate us with all the       
beautiful things of life1 and we must   
never forget the truth of the power of  
our own personal creations4 ,we can be  
what we will to be2 we can be related to
 whatever we choose to be related to2 we
 can choose this day whom we will serve 
and start the hour of our rebuilding4   
,whatever we have or have not is a      
positive picture of our relationship and
 tells to every passer-by the story of  
just how well we know how to control1   
and direct our own thoughts1 and whether

 we are living unconsciously or         
consciously4  ,the way to get the       
,perfect ,liberty for ourselves is to   
understand fully the secret of relating 
ourselves with it through the power of  
conscious thinking4  ,the moment that a 
life desires anything1 be it health1    
wealth or love1 it becomes related with 
that thing1 and the thought establishes 
a line of direct transference2 desire is
 the first out-reaching for the things  
which are necessary to fully develop our
 life4 ,it is the ,god-push within us   
trying to get our consciousness into    
expression4  ,in the past1 the educators
 often called this power of conscious   
relationship1 persistency2 have you not 
seen people whom the world called hobby 
riders or freaks8 ,these people are only
 perverted in the expression of         
conscious relationship2 they hold their 
relationship to one thing to the        
exclusion of every other thing in their 
life4  ,it is just as much a form of    
misdirected energy to sink everything in

 life to one idea2 to sacrifice health1 
friends1 position1 peace1 everything1 in
 order to gain one thing1 as it is to   
have a diverse1 indefinite1 faltering   
idea of relationships and purposes4 ,the
 true position is between them3 ,,all   
things work together for the final good 
of man1 and union with all things1 not  
one thing1 is the law of universal      
development4  ,once we have decided what
 we want to be related with we can      
afford to let everything take its own   
appointed time and place in our life1   
bringing everything up in its appointed 
place4 ,all that we have to do is to    
keep our fixed point of attachment with 
it and this attachment is made through  
power thoughts4  ,substance is always   
changing and so is our position to it   
under the common law1 but under the     
conscious law of creation we change our 
position over and over again1 but we    
keep the same hope until in some        
expected hour we stand face to face with
 our hope manifested in form4  ,there is

 no use running after anything2 no use  
straining after it6 ,we gain liberty not
 by resistance1 denial or renunciation1 
but through union2 under the old law we 
worked on the plane of competition2 in  
the perfected imaging or thinking we are
 living under the law of divine         
attraction1 and whatever we relate      
ourselves with in thought must come and 
join us4  ,when we are under this law   
thousands of unseen hands reach out to  
lift us into peace-crowned heights1 and 
into relation with what we desire4      
,when sickness has taken the place of   
health in our life1 when disease has    
crowded out our ease and comfort1 we can
 know that by a long line of perverted  
thinking1 perhaps both inherited and    
acquired1 we have become related with   
those things which are under the law of 
pain1 destruction and disintegration4   
,we may have done all this thinking     
unconsciously in the past1 but there is 
now no excuse for us to go on with this 
old relationship2 it is senseless to    

again fill up our field of consciousness
 with the old thought concepts4  ,when  
we know the truth of this transference  
into form through thought relationship1 
we have perfect liberty2 we look at     
ourselves in a new light1 and begin to  
then and there pass this simple act of  
thinking into lines which will connect  
us with just these things which we      
desire2 we quit forever our thought     
relationship with conditions which speak
 for lack or loss or limitations4  ,we  
fill our field of consciousness with    
thoughts of the strong1 and the health  
of life2 we shut out the diseased1 the  
dwarfed1 the imperfect4 ,we force the   
pictures of hospitals and sanatoriums   
out of our mind2 we look at our bodies  
no matter how they look1 or how much of 
disease they are then expressing1 and we
 see only the whole1 the new1 the       
complete4 ,we force ourselves to know   
nothing but the great ,,all ,,health    
thoughts2 we go back again and again to 
our relation with the abundance of      

health2 we make ourselves deaf and blind
 and dumb to the absence of wholeness   
and our body slowly swings into line1   
and begins to express for us the nature 
of our conscious thinking4  ,we cease to
 consider ourselves related to anything 
that we do not want4 ,disease1 pain1    
lack of health may have its place in the
 lesser relationships of the human      
plane1 but it is not found in the       
kingdom of consciousness--the all-health
 within us2 it cannot exist in this new 
world of spiritual chemicalization with 
which we have taken up our relations4   
,when we want this perfect law of       
liberty1 we do not recognize the        
existence of the old1 we simply occupy  
our whole thought time with the new     
things with which we wish to make union4
  ,every condition of life that we      
consider desirable for ourselves we     
convince ourselves is already ours1 we  
reach out and lay hold of it1 and give  
it a line of transference into our life4
 ,this is not castle building1 this is  

,divine ,relationship--the ,perfect ,law
 of ,liberty6  ,we see the truth that   
the strong1 the healthy1 the happy1 the 
powerful are living in the same world1  
in the same universal energy that       
obtains for the diseased1 the weak1 the 
sick1 the unhappy2 there is no reason   
why they may not have every good and    
perfect gift4  ,there are almost as many
 healthy as there are sick in every     
hospital--the doctors1 nurses1 porters1 
cooks1 and servants1 all hale and       
hearty1 putting in their whole time     
caring for those who are half dead with 
disease4 ,what makes the difference8    
,just the difference of relationship4   
,they have not accepted mentally the    
same conditions1 and even surrounded as 
they are with the sick and diseased1    
they refuse to be bound by the laws     
which these patients have endowed with  
power over themselves4  ,they have      
learned the two great truths3 ,there is 
nothing in all the world that has any   
power over us except that with which we 

endow it1 and there is nothing in all   
the world of which we need be afraid4   
,disease and sickness are signals of    
great negative conditions of mind which 
we have recognized in thought1 and      
exalted to the king chair in our life   
and endowed with power to hold us in    
bondage4  ,we may escape in just that   
hour that we sense the power of our own 
personal creation1 and set up a         
conscious relationship with the positive
 constructive things in our own         
consciousness4 ,we become lords of our  
physical conditions and our environment 
just as soon as we cut out all thought  
relationship with the laws which make   
for loss and lack4 ,the spirit beareth  
witness with our spirit day by day that 
we are the ,sons of ,god1 and as soon as
 the soul knows this it senses its      
divine relationship1 and is born again  
on the planes of a higher consciousness1
 and in the wisdom of its understanding 
it builds itself new conditions1 and    
lives in a new world1 surrounded with   

the objects of its own creating1 at     
first subjectively1 but in time         
manifested on the objective plane1 to   
bear witness to the truth which its soul
 knows and obeys4  ,when this is done we
 live in a new world made perfect by our
 own inspired workmanship2 we know      
nothing of disease and pain1 we have    
never a morrow of fear1 our today of    
content is eternal4  ,there are many who
 have mastered health1 because it was   
the first thing they demanded1 and after
 they have done this1 they find that    
they are still related to the laws which
 make for poverty and lack in material  
possessions2 they have liberty in flesh 
but not the perfect law of it in        
environment4 ,there are those who have  
known the grinding hand of need1 who    
have stood with crushed lives1 hopeless2
 with courage dead and the devil of     
despair crouched on their shoulder1     
whispering words of disappointment2     
there are those who are homeless in a   
land of homes1 and those who are        

starving in a world of plenty2 what can 
we say to them8 ,how can we comfort them
 and point them to the hope of a new    
endeavor8  ,the world is full of these  
half-fledged lives and we must answer   
them4 ,in order to meet this expression 
we must go back again to our first      
truth1 our first statement3--,we have   
and express in our being and our        
environment just these things with which
 we have related ourselves1 either      
through inherited or acquired lines of  
thinking2 no one gives to us but        
ourselves1 no one takes away from us but
 ourselves1 no one is to blame but      
ourselves whatever we have or have not2 
we1 and we alone1 are the architects of 
our own fortune or misfortune4  ,as soon
 as we can teach a life to know the     
truth of its own power of conscious     
thought relationship1 it can face about 
and begin a new line of attraction and  
accumulation4 ,it is an unwritten law   
that we pass on as we become fit1 and we
 can at any moment begin a new thought  

attitude which1 if persisted in1 will   
relate us with everything which we      
conceive to be opulence or abundance4   
,when we want to come into perfect      
liberty for wealth1 we must never       
recognize poverty or the things which   
make for it2 we must refuse to sense a  
separation from whatever we desire2 the 
universal abundance is for all1 and we  
get and express just the amount we have 
power to connect4  ,the ,,all ,,will    
wants us to have whatever we want1      
remember this6 ,and it will aid us to   
secure what we want and help us to keep 
it just so long as we show we can make  
intelligent connection with it4  ,we    
must believe in our divine kinship with 
supply1 and the divine kinship of every 
other soul with it2 over the same line  
which we send out our desire for        
abundance there will pass back to us the
 answer to our prayer2 the things we    
seek are seeking us2 this is a great    
psychological truth which we can prove  
to ourselves if we try4 ,under the lines

 of the higher spiritual affinity the   
lines of transference never cross2 our  
gain never becomes another's loss1 and  
vice versa4  ,the whole scheme of life  
is for freedom2 it is only the perverted
 building of the minds of men that have 
externalized lack and bondage4 ,we have 
forgotten the eternal promise1 ,with    
what measure ye mete it shall be meted  
unto you1 we have related with lack of  
supply1 never knowing the truth that no 
one limits us but ourselves4  ,under the
 law of liberty1 we place ourselves in  
the very heart of divine opulence and   
though at first we cry abundance from   
the very depth of poverty1 if we hold   
our life servant to this relation1 all  
lack will slowly slip away from us1 and 
we can1 and do walk out into new        
relations of attraction1 and become one 
with all that our ,father hath4  ,this1 
then1 is the truth of perfect liberty3  
,to him that hath shall be given1 and   
from him that hath not shall be   taken 
away even that which he hath4  ,those   

who have laid hold of the ,divine truth 
of abundance of supply and related      
themselves with it through the power of 
conscious thinking may go on in calm    
security from demand to supply1 coming  
each day deeper into the universal      
cosmic opulence of health1 wealth1 love 
and usefulness4  ,the word1 then1 to the
 sick or poverty-stricken or loveless is
 this3 ,recognize your union with       
whatever you desire2 reach out and make 
relation with it through the power of   
conscious thinking2 look with wide open 
soul eyes straight into the face of the 
,universal ,being1 and taking your wants
 firmly into your mind walk on in your  
daily life demanding them and expecting 
them to manifest2 never lay down your   
consecration until it does express for  
you4  ,make every conscious relationship
 one with health1 wealth1 love and      
usefulness1 accompanied by peace1 power1
 plenty and divine realization4  ,as    
soon as we lift our personal life to the
 level of the universal life in positive

 recognition of our own1 it will come to
 us and abide4  ,union with the cosmic  
life is a possible thing here and now2  
the human life is but the remote picture
 of our place in the universal2 our     
life's relations may become the flowers 
on our tree of life1 and our manifold   
experiences the fruits of our own       
growing and all life be one perfect     
round of liberty born from conscious    
righteous choice4     ,cosmic           
,therapeutics    ,and ,he stood between 
the living and the dead1 and the plague 
was stayed4  ,the greatest secret of the
 age is the connection with and         
manipulation of the cosmic energy4  ,in 
every age and every race men have       
stumbled on to relationship with their  
atmospheric environment and have each   
demonstrated it in their own way1 but it
 remained for the twentieth century     
investigators to give us the real key to
 our continuous connection and the      
methods by which this connection could  
be demonstrated to the thinking world4  

,the minds of the past taught us the    
existence of an atmospheric environment 
and to a degree manifested our          
connection with it1 but accomplished it 
through the medium of objective lines of
 connection and transference2 today we  
are finding the new truth that man is   
able to create his own environment even 
to the most minute thing and create it  
from atmospheric energy lifting his     
creations aloft in his life in finite   
form through the medium of a power that1
 in its first expression1 far transcends
 sight and touch4  ,today we know that  
the great ,cosmic currents in which the 
whole world lives1 and moves1 is nothing
 but a vast undifferentiated sea of     
energy4 ,this energy is acting always in
 the formless as electrical currents2   
these currents are always waiting to be 
set in motion with any other current    
which corresponds with them in          
electrical reaction either positive or  
negative4  ,man's whole atmospheric     
environment is formed of these currents 

and he is a localized attracting center1
 registering in himself and his         
environment just those electrical       
reactions with which he relates under   
the great ,cosmic law of correspondence4
  ,we have found in the past that these 
atmospheric currents can be sent as     
vibrations through the medium of any    
object that is brought into relation    
with them and the degree of registration
 depends upon the instrument used4  ,in 
some rates of vibration these waves may 
be made to become heat2 in others1 cold2
 in others1 light2 in others1 sound2 in 
others1 just motion1 without sound being
 separated4 ,physical science has given 
us examples too numerous to mention of  
the positive expression of enforced     
vibration in relation to objective      
things1 but it was left for ,marconi to 
show conclusively that these vibrations 
may be produced and transmitted through 
the medium of the atmospheric waves     
themselves1 and psychology has shown    
that any instrument1 either mechanical  

or human1 may register vibrations in the
 very moment they are attuned to them4  
,atmospheric environment has passed     
deeply into the development stage       
scientifically1 and even in this it does
 not yet really appear what it may be1  
but it is easy to see how all           
atmospheric energy becomes really a     
substance from which every skilled      
mechanic may create his own expression4 
,metaphysically1 it is plain to see that
 man is only one part of this great     
cosmic energy1 and that standing as he  
does1 a localized point in the ocean of 
formless vibrating ether1 he becomes a  
specialized1 attracting center and the  
lines which connect him with this ocean 
of energy are his own thoughts4  ,in the
 physical plane men use wires and       
machines and objective localization1 but
 on the higher planes of consciousness  
we only need to use the vibrations of   
that plane1 and the higher connecting   
thought wires become as tangible to     
those who use them as do the objective  

connections on the physical planes4  ,on
 the human plane our thoughts become the
 metaphysical avenues of connection2    
with thoughts we reach out into this    
formless ocean of cosmic energy and     
create through recognition the things   
which we desire1 and our environment    
under this law becomes the world-picture
 of just what we have had the power to  
create for ourselves4  ,this cosmic     
substance is neither great1 nor small1  
finite nor infinite1 it simply is       
substance from the highest to the lowest
 expression of life4 ,there is no       
escaping this universal product of      
energy4 ,we ourselves are ,it6  ,the    
physical universe1 and everything that  
we call matter1 is simply universal     
energy manifested in form2 everything   
expressed on the physical plane is      
cosmic energy materialized2 and every   
human being is only this cosmic energy  
localized and expressed in human flesh  
and form4 ,form is only the physical    
side of ,divine mind4  ,in this ocean of

 universal energy or atmospheric        
environment which we call formless1     
there is always some form of some kind1 
but the formless is a form too high for 
our human mind to comprehend1 we have   
not yet reached the plane of unfoldment 
where we have cosmic recognition4  ,as  
we investigate this atmospheric         
environment1 we find it has two distinct
 forces at work within it1 and these    
forces are the positive and negative    
reaction of its atoms4 ,this positive   
and negative reaction of the atoms is   
continually going on1 and they each have
 their corresponding embodiment in the  
eternal world of matter2 they act       
independently or together1 and when one 
has learned how to blend these two      
reactions in his consciousness1 as do   
the skilled magi1 he has come to the    
center of his own and universal being4  
,in the manifested world of substance1  
mankind takes its place in one or both  
of these energies2 it is drawn into     
their expression by the universal law of

 attraction4 ,each life is in its first 
expression1 positive or negative in its 
cosmic polarity4 ,in the universal      
interpretation1 we learn to look upon   
the positive life as the creative1 and  
the negative life as the receptive4     
,every individual is just what he is by 
the natural law of his own cosmic       
relationship1 and he will remain just   
what he is at any point of progress1 and
 express himself in his own way until he
 grows into a deeper state of           
comprehension1 and knows the method of  
changing his cosmic positions4  ,when we
 get the truth of the universal energy  
in our minds and realize that this      
energy is really positive and negative1 
and that both these reactions have their
 corresponding material manifestation in
 ourselves1 then we are ready to go     
farther into the study of the           
registration of this energy1 and from   
this into the higher psychology of      
function4  ,there is nothing in this    
atmospheric environment of ours that is 

not endowed with intelligence4 ,everyone
 who postulates a first cause begins    
with the universal intelligence4 ,this  
intelligence is given to us as a        
beginning1 it remains with us to the    
end4  ,the acceptation of the truth of  
the unity of intelligence is the first  
step toward investigation4 ,all finite  
life is an embodiment of universal      
substance and intelligence in some      
form--this is truth4  ,physical         
scientists everywhere are showing us the
 infinitesimal lives working continually
 and in ways that are wonderful4        
,psychologists are opening daily the    
hidden chambers of this physical and    
metaphysical world1 and giving us high  
lights on what we once thought          
impossible of investigation2 they are   
showing us astounding examples of       
conscious ideation in every order of    
life1 and are aiding us to draw         
interesting conclusions4  ,there is a   
great universal intelligence and a      
remote finite expression of this        

intelligence2 the lesser is always      
dependent upon the greater and our human
 life becomes the microcosmic pattern of
 the macrocosmic world4  ,with this     
premise firmly under our feet let us go 
on to the question of the intelligence  
of the physical tissues of the human    
body1 and our relation to disease1      
health1 poverty and opulence4  ,every   
cell of our physical body is intelligent
 and capable of being instructed into   
finer grades of expression2 this is the 
process by which we refine matter into  
spirit and by which we pass from a lower
 to a higher expression of wholeness and
 build our cells into a grade of        
consciousness so high that we produce   
objective expressions of such perfect   
response that we become the higher      
revelation of the cosmic consciousness4 
,the higher we go in intellectualizing  
ourselves1 the closer we draw to the    
cosmic consciousness1 and the more      
familiar we become with its laws4 ,the  
highest life is the one that includes   

the most4  ,it is a natural law that we 
have at all times unconscious thought   
relation to the universal abundance and 
our thoughts are the conscious agents of
 construction and destruction1 and we   
work through them as soon as we are old 
enough to think and reason4  ,disease   
and poverty would never manifest for us 
if we did not some time recognize it in 
our atmospheric environment with our    
thoughts1 and work it out on the        
objective plane through the law of      
atomic attraction4  ,whenever doubt1    
worry1 anger and negative thoughts take 
possession of our field of consciousness
 7the everyday mind71 we are creating   
these things for ourselves in the cosmic
 currents and they cannot refuse to     
register in form either in our body or  
in our environment4  ,it can be seen    
that if1 year after year1 we separate   
ourselves from the positive creative    
cosmic intelligence1 and put up our     
images of personal limitation1 the      
creative intelligence is joined to the  

weaker energy and cannot refuse to work 
out the conditions with which they are  
related4  ,the human mind is the agent  
which must be taught to stand as        
sentinel and force our minds to people  
our currents with thoughts which make   
only for the perfect health1 perpetual  
opulence and divine realizations4  ,the 
minor intelligence of our cells would   
just as readily work out the universal  
law of perfection if we only knew enough
 to intelligently direct them and not   
overpower them by our negative personal 
directions4  ,when we have once         
established in our minds the truth of   
this universal cosmic intelligence1 in  
which there is no sickness1 poverty or  
death1 unless we recognize it1 it does  
not take us long to work out better     
conditions for ourselves in the physical
 body and environment4  ,no matter what 
our lack may be1 we can know that it is 
because we have set our human thought to
 work under a personal negative law     
instead of a positive creative universal

 one4 ,we have only to stop1 face about1
 and begin to direct our thoughts       
intelligently1 and in union with the    
higher plan1 and solicit co-operation   
with all the finite forces around us4   
,if we find ourselves diseased1 with    
pain1 and physical mal-positions we can 
speak to our physical cells as we would 
to a friend and connect them with the   
higher creative currents and help them  
to get into a higher form of building2  
they are ready at any moment to answer1 
,the sheep know their shepherd's voice  
and obey it4 ,they must begin to build  
in the new likeness and in the very     
moment that we consciously direct them2 
this is the law1 there is no appeal from
 it4  ,everything comes to us from the  
,infinite atomic ethers through the law 
of ,divine attraction1 and when we have 
built and rebuilt our cells into an     
intelligent relationship with absolute  
wholeness1 we become a magnet1 so highly
 sensitized and so magnetic and         
carefully polarized1 that we are an     

attracting center for everything in our 
atmospheric environment1 and our        
physical body and our environment become
 the expression of our thought world4   
,when we know enough to send our        
thoughts into the universal energy with 
only the recognitions of positive       
creations1 such as health1 wealth1 love1
 divine realization and actualization1  
then our material world must be made the
 immediate reproduction of these things4
  ,the sick world passes along with all 
its thoughts poised in the destructive  
recognition2 we meet them upon this     
pathway1 and knowing the law of the     
higher constructive power of building we
 must meet their questioning with some  
answer that will restore them to the    
state of consciousness they have lost4  
,the very first truth that every sick   
life must know is that thoughts are     
things1 and make themselves felt in     
form1 and that in the great atmospheric 
energy1 like attracts like4 ,our        
consciousness becomes for us the        

wireless stations which attract and     
register the universal messages1 and    
each station attracts its own from      
whatever plane or state of consciousness
 it vibrates4  ,the invisible world is  
something and its substance is          
something1 and that we do not understand
 it and have improper correspondence1 is
 no proof that the power of correct     
correspondence does not exist4  ,there  
are great occult laws of relationship   
always awaiting our deepening           
comprehension3    ,till one appears who 
bears1    ,all nature silent is1        
,silent for evermore1    ,beating its   
waves of force    ,on an unanswering    
shore    ,till one appears who bears4   
,the cosmic atmospheric energy in which 
we live1 move and have our being is     
always ready to become manifested in    
form1 and may become manifested by      
anyone who knows how to create a form   
for himself4  ,it has been manifested in
 many varied forms by the children of   
men1 but it has not yet entered into the

 hearts of men to conceive of the       
glories that are yet awaiting them when 
one appears who really does hear1 and   
knows the full truths of cosmic power4  
,this is the secret of ,cosmic          
,therapeutics1 and those who know this  
secret really do become the twentieth   
century mystics and are rulers over the 
manifestations of finite and infinite   
energy4 ,when we come to this point of  
demonstration we are the world's        
greatest physicians4 ,with this         
knowledge we may conquer not only       
disease and poverty and despair1 but we 
may overcome the last enemy--,death1 and
 live and have being in a world of      
universal power4  ,there are grades and 
grades of intelligence both in the human
 and the ,absolute mind3 ,all grades of 
cosmic currents are ever ready waiting  
to respond to those who touch them2     
there is nothing mysterious or          
unattainable about them2 they are the   
natural results of natural laws1 and we 
come into union with them through growth

 and recognition4  ,we first come to a  
consciousness of our universal1         
atmospheric relationship with all that  
is1 then we learn to understand the     
response that comes to us from every    
person and everything2 then we reach out
 in perfect faith with our deep of need1
 calling to the deep of supply1 and the 
doors of a thousand hidden chambers of  
nature open bringing divine revelation  
into our souls4     ,absent ,treatments 
,the sick world has always had its      
scientific and religious investigation1 
and in addition to this new-found power 
of atmospheric creation there is another
 great truth which the sick world must  
know in order to make its own union1 and
 this is the truth of the power to      
manipulate these ,cosmic currents not   
only of our own creation1 but for anyone
 who touches our life2 we cannot only   
think and realize and actualize for     
ourselves1 but we can reach out into the
 formless energy and create1 direct and 
control these great universal currents  

so that they will have the power to     
rebuild another's life4  ,we have a     
great psychological ,cosmic truth known 
as absent treatments but which is really
 ,,cosmic ,,therapeutics in our new     
understanding2 we use cosmic currents to
 heal ourselves and we manipulate them  
for another thereby eliminating time and
 distance2 we get behind the things     
created and understand and deal with the
 ,energy which creates4  ,the sick world
 has tried all the things of the        
physical world through the medium of    
objective lines of transference--drugs1 
electricity1 diet1 baths and what not1  
each one a part of the cosmic           
consciousness1 but it finds that the    
laws still exist1 and as long as they   
remain related with the laws of disease 
in flesh it will manifest for them in   
flesh4  ,absent treatments is the power 
to connect with and direct the ,cosmic  
atmospheric currents which make for     
positive expression of health1 and when 
we have laid hold of this power1 we can 

change at will any vibration of         
negativeness with which we find ourself 
or others expressing1 and we do it      
through the power of thought1 feeling   
and revelation4  ,these higher laws of  
relationship are only mysterious and    
strange to those who do not understand2 
the ,hottentot stands in wonder and     
amazement at the ,x-ray machine1 but the
 skilled operator turns on its power in 
spite of this ignorance and disbelief1  
and it works whether he believes it or  
not4 ,just so the skillful operator in  
,cosmic ,therapeutics can generate1     
control and direct the power of the     
,cosmic consciousness which he          
understands1 and it brings its results  
whether the skeptical mind of man       
accepts or denies4  ,this power to      
manipulate nature's finer forces is only
 hidden from those who do not seek to   
find2 in the moment a soul knows that it
 is possible to connect through thought 
and to manipulate through consciousness1
 it is born into union with the ,energy 

that creates and can say1 ,let there be 
light over its own world4  ,we can stand
 in the great ,cosmic ,energy and with  
tools a thousand times finer than the   
finest ,x-ray or vibratory machine known
 to science and project our thought     
power into regions of an ether so fine1 
so vibrant1 so vital that the very touch
 of them upon our being fills us with   
the great pulsing energy of the         
universe4 ,in just the instant we       
connect with these currents our old     
vibratory rates of living are changed   
and we have passed from death into life2
 we are healed to stay healed through   
conscious union with the ,,all-,,health 
currents of the ,universe4  ,there are  
many clumsy operators in any field of   
science1 and there are plenty of them in
 this new world of ,cosmic              
,therapeutics1 but investigation and    
application give unfoldment and skill1  
and we will soon pass into such a       
complete understanding of these higher  
laws of being that it will be a novelty 

to find a life unacquainted with them1  
and everyone will be using ,cosmic      
,therapeutics in some degree4  ,the     
fundamental law of absent treatments is 
the truth of the ,oneness of life and   
intelligence1 and the ready response of 
the ,absolute intelligence to the finite
 mind4  ,each life has its own direct   
line of thought connection with this    
,universal ,energy1 and no matter where 
it stands in its comprehension1 it can  
be taught to understand this simple     
truth of thought relationship4  ,we can 
think ourselves to the outermost rim of 
things and there connect with the       
diverse differentiated energy which can 
only make for disease and lack1 or we   
can think ourselves to the very center  
of the ,cosmic heart and find there the 
peace that passeth understanding4 ,we   
find this center and attract its energy 
through human thoughts of power1 love1  
hope1 faith1 joy1 purity1 patience and  
consciousness of infinite union1 and our
 every action carries with it into the  

external world a power that manifests   
for us as health in our body and wealth 
in our environment4  ,when we know that 
all life is universal atmospheric       
intelligence and that it responds to us 
from any point we touch it1 we need then
 only to throw ourselves into conscious 
thought union with everything which we  
desire2 forgetting all the weak negative
 things we do not desire1 and this      
conscious connection leads us into      
relation with the energy that must      
eventually manifest in form4  ,if we    
want to heal ourselves we stand with our
 whole life open to the positive        
creative ,cosmic currents and let them  
beat through us and around us2 we ,,will
 then and there to pass our whole being 
into union with every creative universal
 force1 and to feel the power of its    
energy sweeping through us2 we hold our 
life to this higher understanding until 
the great flood tide of the universe    
comes sweeping along our veins and      
through our being1 washing away in its  

resistless force all the lesser moorings
 which hold us to the thoughts of       
disease or decay2 we have then the life 
more abundantly than is promised and we 
feel that we have entered into that     
place that is prepared for the people of
 ,,god2 we are healed to stay healed for
 the very life blood of the universe is 
in our veins4  ,if we then want to give 
an absent treatment1 and send to another
 this ,energy that creates we just take 
the thoughts of our ,cosmic atmospheric 
relationship in our mind1 and reaching  
out first in perfect thinking we build  
for them a perfect thought body1 and    
place it in the ,cosmic ,energy2 holding
 fast to this image we pass with it into
 the deeper states of being where       
thinking ceases1 and ,,knowing is the   
law1 and we bid them stand forth with us
 in conscious union whole1 complete1 the
 ,god-child1 one with the ,,all-,,health
 of the ,universe4  ,when we can do     
this1 our work is finished1 and we can  
let them go1 secure in the consciousness

 that they are one with us in strength  
and power4 ,when we have really         
understood this higher law of           
recognition we look with all-seeing eyes
 into the face of ,cosmic ,intelligence1
 and we see the infinite supply         
answering our finite lack1 we abide in a
 position of knowing which passes us    
externally into health of body and      
environment4    ,how to ,give ,absent   
,treatment   ,concentrate your mind on  
the one whom you wish to heal1 then     
build a mental vision of him2 see him in
 consciousness just as whole and perfect
 as if he was really radiant with       
health4 ,make believe that he is        
standing before you a perfect picture of
 physical perfection1 work on your      
vision until you can produce and hold   
the most beautiful idealized picture of 
human beauty of flesh1 form and         
character4 ,never forget to illumine    
your perfect thought-patient with a     
divine light of spiritual radiance4     
,this perfected make-believe-self must  

be the risen ,god within them and it    
must come forth resplendent in a new    
glory4 ,when you can hold a perfect     
vision of him and make yourself blind to
 anything but this image of beauty1     
health and power--then place him in the 
,divine ,life and leave him4 ,god1 the  
great universal intelligence1 will make 
the balance good4 ,he will finish what  
you have begun4 ,there is concerted     
action between the atomic mind of       
infinite substance and the mind of man1 
and as the ,father raiseth up the dead  
and quickeneth them1 so has he given the
 son the power to quicken whom ,he will4
  ,this vision held daily and           
intensified by belief and conscious     
command will be accepted by the         
spiritual consciousness of the patient  
and whether his surface mind accept it  
or not1 his deeper consciousness gives  
the stimulation to his body and this    
registers it in form and he is healed to
 stay healed through the silent laws of 
mind4 ,and he stood between the living  

and the dead and the plague was stayed  
because by his own transcendent         
consciousness he set in operation the   
higher laws of intelligence in          
substance4  ,it is written that in the  
,psychological ,institute in ,france1   
,professor ,prisbram1 in one of his     
psychological experiments1 asked a      
patient to think powerfully and         
concentratedly upon a make-believe      
vision of a bottle--he did1 with his    
hand on a sensitive plate in a          
developing fluid1 and slowly the picture
 of the bottle registered upon the      
plate4  ,just as this make-believe      
bottle registered upon the plate1 just  
so does the make-believe perfect        
flesh-body register in the cells of the 
old1 and under the law of renewal of    
tissue1 it is developed into form4 ,this
 vision is the true self that is latent 
in every life4 ,the first man1 ,adam1   
was of the earth1 earthy1 the last man1 
,adam1 was a living soul4 ,there is a   
body terrestrial and there is a body    

celestial1 and the glory of the         
terrestrial is one and the glory of the 
celestial is another4 ,and with the     
vision of the celestial body1 in which  
the consciousness vibrates as a living  
soul1 our treatment is accomplished and 
we have made our mind a conscious part  
of the mighty plan and we can ask       
whatsoever we will and it will be       
granted4  ,how often shall we treat an  
absent patient8  ,three times daily and 
between these times forget them utterly1
 give them to the ,cosmic forces1 the   
,absolute4 ,holding on to a patient in  
thought often delays his recovery4 ,when
 you have done your spiritual           
visualizing powerfully and perfectly1   
stop6 ,the ,universal ,law will do the  
rest2 never give an anxious thought to  
them1 nor recognize death2 vibrate life 
and more and more life to them and just 
as the current runs along the wire just 
so this silent ,cosmic intelligence will
 flow from you to them1 and health will 
come1 sometimes slowly1 sometimes       

quickly1 back along their veins4
