FOREWORD

Awakening the subconscious powers releasesmasterful forces. The subconscious region of themind is capable of independent action. The Uni-verse is governed by Law. The Universe of being

is subject to Law. The Laws must be followed.The subjective powers respond to suggestion. Man-kind is divinely endowed with dominion andReason must control. These spiritual powers aregiven to manifest God on earth and for use. Toobtain the highest results, the objective and subjective minds must act in harmony and for Good.Faith in, and the realization that we have thesepowers and clear thought directed by the will powerpersistently maintained demonstrates ideals and

proves the revelation.



MIND LIGHT

And God said, Let us make man in our image,after our likeness, and let them have dominionover all the earth. So God created man in his own

image, and breathed into his nostrils the breath oflife, and man became a living soul. The Bible:Genesis.

Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shallfind; knock and it shall be opened unto you. Forevery one that asketh receiveth, and he that seek-eth findeth and to him that knocketh it shall beopened. The Bible: St. Matthew.

Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your

law, I said Ye are gods? The Bible: St. John.

The manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyman to profit withal severally as he will. The Bible:Corinthians.

A great and sacred Spirit talks indeed within us,but cleaves to its divine original. Seneca.

The Mind is magnetic and draws to itself what-

ever it most earnestly determines. To distinguishits different aspects, that part of the mind in dailyuse has been termed the objective, and the regionthat does the deep thinking the subjective mind.The subjective has been proved to be capable ofindependent action. The earth is circled with in-visible etheric magnetic currents an intermediaryin transmitting energy proved in wireless. TheEther is a divine agent for the use of mankindto sustain life and to utilize its properties for the

betterment of life. The mind through intelligentconcentration may connect thought with these lim-itless etheric currents or spiritual forces belting andencircling space. These forces are governed by theLaw that Demand creates supply. To demonstrateMind Power knowledge of the Law is essential.We must feel our identity with Divine Powersthrough the indwelling spirit. Faith must be main-tained. Every thought is a force thought con-



nects with these ether vibrations and attracts re-sults according to the quality of the thought sentout.

Concentration upon ideals reiteration that poweris inherent only awaiting recognition understand-

ing that faith controls these forces or InfinitePower manifesting in mankind and the higherspiritual law, will establish the answer according tothe intensity and activity of the will of the seeker.We know that these etheric currents permeate allspace and all life and substance, and that by meansof these waves of energy encircling and belting theearth vibrations and impressions are conveyed tothe mind responding to the direction of the thoughtand will intelligently directed.

Jesus taught the knowledge of these spiritualforces and authorized their use.

Mind Light may command a continuous field ofintelligence and activity. The Powers of the sub-conscious or subjective mind or Soul are now beingmore generally understood. Its means of informa-tion must be of Divine Origin, as it can be accountedfor and explained in no other way. Through its

agency Divine Power is communicated by enablingthe mind faculties to advance in the comprehensionof modes of energy determined by the nature and di-rection of the Will. God created man in His ownimage image is a counterpart. The Spirit wasbreathed into man by God Himself when we be-came living souls and were given dominion overthings so we have Divine Authority for its com-mand and control and it becomes our privilege tostudy the laws and demonstrate the powers of thesubconscious activities. Practical results are now

demanded and its principles apply to all things forUse and the betterment of life. Practical resultsmay be evolved from our "ever increasing DivinelyCreated powers which our intellect will more andmore enable" us to manifest in accomplishment forgood and the betterment of life for the many.

The foundation of all religion is the same, whether



we consider mankind as a reflection of God or apartaker of the attributes of Divinity, or mankindcreated in God's own image or counterpart.Knowledge and understanding of the SubconsciousMind Powers bring God nearer to mankind by dem-onstrating our God given powers. All Life is an

advance each receptive mind forwarding thethoughts that have been thought before broaden-ing the mind and proclaiming progress. Illuminat-ing Light comes from the Divine spheres of HigherIntelligence. Divine Orders of beings exist whoguard, guide and overwatch mankind, respond to en-treaty and trust and reveal the mysteries of God byspreading the knowledge of Him to all seekers,through thought communion apprehended by the in-tellect. Concentrated thought attracts the assistance

of these helpers and forces through the energy ofmental action which qualifies self-realizing spiritualPower, imparting wisdom and understandingthrough prayer and demand, that is, claiming byright of our Divine Powers the fulfilment of thePromises that if we ask and seek we shall Receiveand Find.

The electric ether is a medium or agent and trans-mits energy, and individuals may control and use

this vibrant force. The objective mind plans, and thesubjective brings ideas to the surface of thoughtto evolve the plans into action. The objective minddesires things, and the subjective unfolds thoughtsto realise them. By these upward steps advance ismade along the way of mind privileges to will anddemonstrate ideas, mental images and plans. "Onemay think while they act and act while they think."

Investigation discovers new phases of knowledgeand discerns more subtle expressions of intellectual

capacities. To whatever the mind is most persist-ently directed will it respond in a reflex action ofresults corresponding to directed will and thought.Deep feeling arouses the emotions and is a mode ofenergy. Advancing knowledge and understandingdiscerns more subtle elements of these energies, asthe perceptions become keener.



Awakened latent energies may determine healthand promote material conditions, and are the ma-gicians who shall cause the daily life to blossom intorealities. Early writers taught that the mind maycondition the ethereal substance of which electricityis a constituent, converting man into an apparatus

of enormous power and explaining the accomplish-ment of the seemingly impossible. This admits ofno analysis. The unknown quantity is the Logosor Word. Thoughts will offer their services if ideasand plans are projected, that is, pictured in thoughtand given attention showing wisdom more thanhuman. We must have practical effects and wehave Biblical authority for asserting that the HigherIntelligences, acting under God, respond to demand.The Holy Spirit or Soul was breathed into man

by God Himself when we became living beings.Along the Way shines the Light. The more in-tense the thought the greater the power of its vibra-tive effect to attract what we persistently seek.

We are active centers for the magnetic elementof concentrated thought to manifest the Law ofAttraction. To obtain its help, dwell constantlyupon its reality. ''Opportunities will come as ifthey were ordered," and you will see forming about

you the conditions which you desire." The sub-conscious region seems to represent the supply cen-ter, the objective the demand center of the universeof being. We must form a mental or "mind pic-ture" of our ideals and hold it continually in thoughtuntil it manifests in reality. The electric ethertransmits energy and individuals may use this vi-brant force. There is a counterpart in the invisiblecorresponding to ideals, that may be transformedinto realities in the visible world. The mind must beprepared to expect and receive impressions.

A Hierarchy of Divine Orders of Beings com-municate intelligence through thought Communionof Saints. By their ministry blessings prolific inabundance descend, an ordained bond of union be-tween the seen and the unseen. Meditation pre-ceding concentration may center the mind upon thenature and direction of the thought. Harmonious



thought must prevail and preside and all contraryconditions banished and avoided. Joy is a construc-tive element and awaits recognition. Whateverthought is sent out returns in like quality in result,and draws in force in proportion to projected pro-pelling vibrations. "The ether governs organic life

and transmits and receives sensory impressions, di-rected by the consciousness." It was known to theancient philosophers as well as modern scientiststhat the ether is the source of all energy and of thenature of electricity. Under the direction of thewill, which is also composed of subtle and varyingaspects, it may be directed to wonderful results.The ether seems to supply the force through whichthe spiritual manifests in the material. Science hasnow demonstrated that "etheric radiations accom-

pany the exercise of the highest faculties of thesoul. These etheric radiations entirely pervade allthe elements of this universe and is the agent in theproduction of all phenomena. This etheric forcegives energy and power to act. This etheric fluidis diffused throughout the universe acting upon thebody and penetrating even the nervous system." Ibelieve it to be the Spirit or Breath breathed intous by God Himself when we became living souls."In the human body it manifests properties analo-

gous to those of the magnet. There is a continuousexchange of forces going on between the living or-ganism and its etheric surroundings. Through theactivity of this subtle fluidic element intellectualconceptions are transmitted. Life is directed by theradiation of this force. "Etheric groupings peculiarto each living organism have an influence upon thevibrations of the invisible ether." Thus explainingthe process of vibratory effects and activities andtheir method of action independent of the consciousmind through the subconscious self-realizing

powers. A Divine world plan to guide the affairsof life. We know the subconscious or spiritual mindhas powers of action independent of the consciousmind. The subconscious or spiritual forces impartknowledge and wisdom to direct it to the earnestseeker. This superior reason, this self-realizingconsciousness is God in ourselves a guide in theaffairs of life. Happiness and the beautiful things



of this world are intended for use and all rightmethods should be studied and adopted to attractthem. Thinking creates ideas directing the facultiesof the mind at will. The vibratory ether transmitsthe thought, it interpenetrates the plane or spherecorresponding to the idea sent out, and answering

perceptions are communicated. This appears to bethe method of the mind process. Specific instruc-tions given the subjective mind that in consciouscontemplation does the deep thinking, brings the in-formation before the objective mind or that part ofthe mind in general use. Train and use these subjective powers the Divine Medium through whichideas may be received. The celestial energy of themind attracts power through which we conquer.Roused into activity by auto-suggestion, which is

mental conversation with the subconscious and con-veys instructions and requests, the subconscious gen-erates and communicates answering replies. In-tense feeling awakens latent faculties. Knowledgeof the laws governing the subjective powers maycontrol events. Persistency in seeking for opportu-nities creates them. The Infinite communicates withthe finite through the spirit or soul, manifesting inmankind as the subconscious region of the mind.

"Spiritual gifts given to every man severally as hewill." Occupying the mind with high ideals attractsperceptions from higher realms the Divine Prin-ciple realizing in mind imagery. Faith impartspower. The Holy Spirit is an amulet always aboutus the reward is manifest. The soul or subcon-scious is God in ourselves. Health and strength ofbody and mind may be augmented by keeping inmind this thought, "Things are as real as you makethem." The function of the mind is to guide thewill. Its laws may be mastered to guide the daily

life. Contemplation produces a radiation of energyto the consciousness. To ask or demand, claimingby right of Divine Authority through the Promisesis to receive force and wisdom. Possibilities andmiracles are the same a means to demonstratePower. To cultivate repose and calm thought con-serves energy. The great world religions show anidentity of essence.



Saints make real the unseen world. Force, pow-erful as electricity, resides in the individual will.As we advance along the path of self-knowledge,the more the serene mind serves the rightly directedwill. "The resources and depths of the subconscious

are unfathomable and unlimited. It is the do-minion of free will and must be controlled byReason."

Knowledge of its governing laws is essential.Persistency in auto suggestion reiteration of faithand acknowledgment of its powers and self-masteryare necessary to control and command its services.With added perceptions higher radiations are pre-sented and discerned. Knowledge follows Demand,

that is, by claiming the fulfilment of the Promisesthat if we ask and seek we shall receive and findthought and will establishing Power. "The wordnecessities has expanded."

The objective mind observes and reasons uponplans and ideals, then by suggestions to the subjec-tive receives intuitions and answers of illuminatingthought.

The subconscious communicates with unseenpowers. By concentration and reiteration of faithcontinuous power may be realized. "Auto sugges-tion is the great psychological miracle." "The in-spiring suggestion blesses him that gives as wellas takes."

The Infinite Consciousness should govern everyaction of life. Concentrate upon its supply. TheInfinite Consciousness, one of the many aspects orreflections of the Infinite, manifests in mankind as

the subconscious mind or soul in the Soul or HolySpirit manifesting in a more subtle or spiritual formand manifesting in the ether permeating all thingsas the all pervading transmitter of energy enablingthe mind faculties through its agency to externalizeideas and determine certainties. By keeping in mindthat we have these Powers with wisdom to directthem, and claiming of the Omnipotent within the



fulfilment of the Promises, we shall receive that forwhich we ask and find that for which we seek.

"To the faithful will the signs be manifest.""With revealing Light will come accomplishingPower," the Searchlight of Divine Rays illuminating

the "Great and Sacred Spirit within us, whichcomes from the eternal abodes in meridian splendorand conquers by its innate force."



CREATIONS AND

TRANSFORMATIONS

Creations are but Transformations.Will and Thought are living forces.

We are gifted with faculties improvable by use.Feel infinity within us and recognize its Power.The Spirit develops our essence and mingles itwith the spiritual worldOur actions are accomplished in our thoughtbefore they are reproduced outside of us.God reveals Himself unfailingly to the thoughtfulseeker.What I tell you is the truth.The Word has been distributed over the earth.

You will have His Power.You will be allowed to use it as you would useanything.

Honore de Balzac.

Objective and subjective mind action transformsthought into Creative Power. The Will through thenature and direction of the thought may determineresults. The Soul Spirit or Subjective or Subcon-scious mind is the inner self, or Ego identified withthe Infinite. The spirit works through the batteryof the mind. The subconscious may act to thegreatest advantage if trained, instructed, controlledand commanded. The Spirit emanating from Godself-manifested, may control material results. Wis-dom is gained by Prayer and demand, that is, byclaiming the fulfilment of the Promises that if weask and seek we shall receive and find thought andwill establishing power, an avenue for the trans-

mission of intelligence and messages from higherrealms.

Ideas are imparted through the thinking powersdirected to the object sought. The attention of theobjective mind centered upon the ideal, puts thesubconscious mind at work. God created man inHis own image and through this self-realizing spir-



itual or subconscious mind mankind is endowed withpower to transform thought power into CreativePower. "Civilization is applied thought." Manadapts all things to his needs. Constant exerciseof the will creates ideas and illumination comes tothe "thinker who acts." Will force or energy finds

expression in action. Etheric Power, magnetic andelectric with energy, illuminates the understandingthrough forceful thought evolving creative Power.An inquiry is projected, response in thought formensues, which evolves other modes of accomplish-ment. The function of the mind is to guide thewill. "A miracle is the working of a higher forcethrough the individual." We have Biblical au-thority for affirming possibilities to be unlimited.

Meditation a Jacob's ladder upon which theangels of the God within us may manifest betweenearth and heaven.

The Psychic force is electrical. The subjectivethrough the electrical thought and will manifestseffects. New spirit has been infused into the accu-mulated knowledge of preceding generations. Therecognition of these principles of guidance is im-portant in practical life. To affirm Health, Happi-

ness, Harmony and Prosperity attracts correspond-ing elements imparting vibrations of strength andPower.

Suggestion is an agent of Spiritual energy."Launch your thoughts and the higher self takescontrol" to attain realities. Reason must governall. Higher planes of thought are subject to lawsgoverning answering intelligence to the intellect.Creations are transformations of thought into action."Force in motion is a power and transfers energy"

and is action; "Force at rest sustains," and is repose.After auto suggestion or suggestions or affirmationsto self that what desired is possible, that the subjective mind has powers of accomplishment andwill be amenable to control by suggestion aug-mented by faith and belief, let the subjective mindhave expression, if instructed and trusted it has beenfound to faithfully respond to the confidence reposed



in it. "Success, a word unknown a century since,is now a sovereign ruler in all lives."

It is said that one of England's most gifted poeticwriters at first showed no marked originality, butaffirming that her thoughts were imparted to her

through higher powers impressing images of illu-mination and inspiration upon her thoughts she be-came capable of indefinitely sustained creativepowers. The spirit leads to all good things.Affirm Peace and Plenty the Supply will come.Mind force directs thought into action. Reiterationcreates Reality. Continually declare for increasingpower and energy and answers of strength willcome. "All that life needs is possible to will."The will force may be disciplined to a marvellous

extent. Will power has a relation to vitality. En-ergy is a vivifying and transforming force. Willhas been affirmed to be a fluid taken up from thesurrounding ethereal substance and transformedinto energy.

Angels are appointed guardians of and messen-gers to mankind. Man may realize his highestpowers through the Spirit. "This ethereal sub-stance is a subtler force than electricity, though of

its nature. This mighty agency of power can renewthe vital forces under the dominion of the instructed,educated and cultivated will." Knowledge of andunderstanding of these powers and forces opens upnew vistas of action. All is God and we are ofGod. Through the illumination of the spirit mayhigher truths be apprehended through inner revela-tion from Divine Sources, obtained by concentra-tion and prayer. The true Light will be revealed.The power of electricity emanates from the soul.The spirit soul or subconscious in varied aspects

and manifold forms communicates with, and compelsall things to the service of mankind and is a mani-festation of the Presence of the Infinite, to guard,guide and respond to our entreaty and trust.

Electricity in its continuously realizing and deter-mining forms is one of the most powerful manifes-tations of God its marvellous revelations "only in



the beginning." The power of electricity resides inand emanates from the soul. Along the length ofthe Way shines the Light as the Light illumineswe advance proclaiming progress and new percep-tions of Knowledge and Understanding.

The spirit communicates with all things and in-forms and compels all things to the service of man-kind through the power of thought and will. Faithquickens the spirit. Auto suggestions given to thesubjective mind stimulates it to action by impartingto it intelligent instructions. This once recognizedits intelligence and resources may be commanded.To obtain its help its powers must be realized.

As the Light illumines one advances on the Way.

Power is transmitted Knowledge obtained. Theobject determined and kept constantly in view."Mind will be the generator, Will the energy, andSpirit the current," producing and manifestingeffects transforming and creating results. Byconcentrating upon these realities with an eager,attentive mind will the spirit respond. Self-confi-dence evolves energy to accomplish. The subjectiveentity is a potent force. Faith is essential in con-trolling results. "Meditative Philosophy is a gar-

ment of the human race." Conscious self-confidencestimulates determined effort. We are active centersfor the etheric magnetic elements, connectingthought with limitless invisible currents, attractingby the power of our will what we persistently seek.

An aim for the perfection of human intelligence.Mind may master all things. Spiritual truths maybe discerned. Miracles are direct interposition ofthe power of God in the affairs of an individualthrough prayer and importunacy. Circumstances

are pliant to spiritual Power. The etheric mindPower attracts the "All Encircling Good." Themind in sleep may attract power and knowledge.Divine Messengers impress Wisdom and Intelli-gence "Our thoughts commune with beings whopeople immensity, broadening the mind and bright-ening the intellect." By exercising the faculties ofthe mind and will more power is brought into action.



The spirit in meditation may commune with helpersand thus awaken dormant forces and powers. Thesubjective mind may be used to augment healthand strength of body and mind by connectingthought with the higher spiritual powers.

Intuition proves the presence and power of thesubjective mind to manifest the Divine Powers ofthe will. Latent energies, undeveloped faculties,may be aroused to establish thought communionwith inner intelligence inherent in the soul whichmay thus accomplish wonders the unseen cause ofthe seen effect. Contemplation produces a radia-tions of Divine energy to the consciousness. "Tocall or demand for force and wisdom to direct it, isto attract it." Spiritual strength is absorbed.

"Possibilities and miracles are the same" and ameans to demonstrate Power. Cultivate repose andcalm thought. The great world religions show anidentity of essence. Saints make real the unseenworld. A force powerful as electricity resides inthe individual will. Life is an educating process.

The further one advances along the path of soul, orself-knowledge, the more the serene mind may com-

mand power to serve the rightly directed will.

The subjective mind is a guide trust it, believein it and thank it. It is a Living Presence alwaysat our side and command, given from the beginningto do our bidding its laws may be mastered toguide the daily life. "We cannot fathom the depthsnor measure the resources of the subconscious, it hasmeans for obtaining information not shared by theobjective mind. Its powers may be educated,trained and directed into channels of the greatest

importance and service to each individual. The sub^ jective mind will respond more faithfully with each 1succeeding success after much training it will actwith power and celerity." "It will perform withfidelity the labor entrusted to it. Give it instructionswith objective confidence it will be found usefulif stimulated by auto suggestion and faithful en-deavor. Its creative powers are beyond our ability



to measure or even limit. Its powers, activity andcreative results will be increased by exercise, faithand belief. Make the subjective mind believe it cando a thing and you .will find the results will be re-markable indeed. The subjective raises the infor-mation up to the threshold of the objective con-

sciousness any information it desires to impart."The two minds or the two parts of one mind thematerial or objective, the mind in daily use, and thespiritual or subjective or subconscious, which doesthe deep thinking interpenetrate. When instruc-tion or suggestion is given the objective or materialmind is in command. Then the subconscious orspiritual or subjective mind takes the lead, obtainsthe information and imparts it to the objective mindthrough thought impressions.

Divine Messengers reveal Celestial Intelligencethrough these mind Powers and establish CreativeThought. The mind becomes responsive to energycapable of indefinitely sustained creative power, withadded perceptions higher radiations are presentedand discerned. Thus by thought and will powermay ideals be transformed into Creations.

Knowledge follows Demand. "The word necessi-

ties has expanded." Creations are Transformationsthrough the "Magic of the Mind." Transformationof thought into action is Creation. The subjectivemind or soul does the real thinking the objectivemind observes and reasons upon plans or ideals ofaccomplishment, then by suggestions to the subjec-tive mind receives ideas or information or answersof responsive thought. The subjective mind im-parts knowledge and wisdom which proceeds fromthe Divine helpers who minister to mankind thusare ideals transformed into Creations.

The subjective or spiritual mind communicateswith unseen powers of the Universe the objectivemind supplying the ideals or objects sought. Edu-cate the subjective Powers by concentration, in-struction and reiteration and acknowledge itspowers by faith and belief it impersonates andrealizes individual creative power, partaking of the



attributes of God power. The more instructiongiven it and the more faith in its powers, the morewonderful the results. "Subjective Psychology fur-nishes a Key to Progress." The unseen world ispeopled by helpers diffusing thought to receptiveminds. "Finding the meaning of things, discerns

the soul of things." Vibrations of truth are passedon from Seraphim to Cherubim through HeavenlyPowers, Archangels and Angels and on to highlyillumined thinkers in the world and on in innum-erable ways to mankind. Thought is a mode ofmotion diffused through vibrations of the magneticether presenting ideas to the intellect and under-standing in various ways, to encourage and en-lighten the world of mind. One of God's ways ofspeaking to mankind, through His messengers who

in a degree impart His power to receptive minds.

The invisible world of ideas has a counterpartcorresponding to ideals, that may be transformedinto Creations in the visible world to serve the calm,well-balanced mind. The mind must be preparedto expect and receive impressions and all goodthought heeded. An organized Hierarchy of DivineOrders of Beings communicate with mankindthrough thought and hand down the Divine Light

to mankind, thus constituting the bond of union be-tween the seen and the unseen.

The early Church Fathers, the Seers, Philosophersand Mystics expounding and explaining the Bible,prepared the world for this knowledge. When im-pressions are received they come from HigherSources, from God's appointed, ordained from thebeginning to instruct the world and communicatethrough the mind Powers, Knowledge and Wisdomand Understanding to be transformed into Creative

Power. The electric ether transmits force to man-kind vibrant with energy. The individual controlsand uses this force, attracting and assemblingPower "discovering the soul of things." Master-ing the laws governing these powers leads to higherwisdom and the knowledge that Creations are butTransformations. Illumination is mind uplifted tospheres transcendently intelligent, the abiding place



of ideas and source of all thought "transmitted bythought."

This wisdom has been imparted as the world hasbeen prepared to receive it. All helpful knowledgeshould be studied so as to be applied practically to

better individual and world conditions. MindPowers and privileges are forces to direct active andpractical results to the effecting of all things pos-sible through self-confidence and knowledge trans-formed into power of accomplishment. Thesehigher planes exist responsive to the action of projected conscious thought transformed by God givensoul power into Creations. "New Thought" is oldthought adapted to modern methods. The advance-ment of the world is forwarded by conscious realiza-

tion that Creations are but Transformations.

Man may apprehend the Infinite, not only inreligion, but in all things a very real power whichhas held its own from the very beginning of theworld. Max Mutter.

Learn how to make your life valuable. ArabianNights' stories were only symbols of the elementsman might control if he but rubbed the lamp of his

intelligence smartly enough. Every fairy tale hasa meaning, every legend a lesson. Marie Corelli.

Possibilities and miracles mean the same thing.As you recognize your relationship to the SupremePower you will come to know that yours is theright to demand as much as possible of this Supremeor Divine Power to be expressed through you.When you desire or demand anything, you prayfor that thing or in other words you set at workthe force attracting that thing to you. As your

power increases to bring results, you become con-tinually a newer being through the action and work-ing of thought and mind. The Infinite is eversending thoughts to this planet which change itand the people on it into newer and happier beings.They are the commands of the Infinite saying tous "You must know more of Me." We will throughsuch demand have more and more of the Supreme



Mind manifested in us. Prentice Mulford.



OPEN SESAME

"Word Spoken to Unlock the Door of Success"

Human beings are electrical motors. The Mind

is an electrical, magical, magnetic Force. The Willis a driving power and the Spirit an electrical cur-rent connecting mankind with Divine power.Divine spiritual power manifests in mankindas the spiritual or electric subjective mind andmay be summoned, instructed and commanded to dohis bidding. Mind, Will and Spirit generate elec-tric current, the motor power of spiritual energyand activity. By the Divine-given right of dominionand free will mankind is empowered and entitled tocommand this spiritual and contemplative part of

the mind which does the deep thinking. This is anage of applied mind-power. The accomplishmentof practical results is demanded. "To determineon accomplishment is almost accomplishment itself."The conscious mind controls electrical forces. Thespirit is the potential, direct current converting thiselectrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electricity, an ether movement, summoned, con-trolled and commanded, serves mankind.

Thought precedes effort.

Resident electrical forces may assume attributesof intelligence emanating from the Divine realms,attracting unseen agencies who under God attendmankind and impart wisdom and power in answerto insistent demand. To summon, command anduse these forces intelligently is an Open Sesame,word spoken to unlock the door of Success. The

electrical resident spirit connects thought with theseinvisible friends reflecting perceptions and vitalpower. Discovering and mastering the laws of at-traction governing these realms inspires power tooriginate and create. These electrical magicalprivileges are intended to be an Open Sesame lead-ing to a supply for every demand. The world ofmind, when conscious of its powers, is illuminedthrough the reflecting electrical Spirit, the medium



of union between the Omnipotent, Omnipresent,manifesting Principle and mankind. By whatevernation, individual or under whatever form wor-shipped for good, the Infinite, Supreme God is thesame animating, informing, all-encircling Spiritgoverning in all things. The mind advances to

higher planes of consciousness, according as thedirected thought ascends in understanding and iscontinually unfolding still higher realms of Knowl-edge.

Wonderful orders of intelligences and regionsof ideas exist. Heavenly beings Seraphim, Cheru-bim, Archangels, Angels, ministering spirits andhelpers extending to every service rendered, and inevery way in which mankind advances, progresses

and is benefited Hierarchs of Divine Orders whohand down the Divine Light and guard, guide andattend mankind an Open Sesame and means ofmanifestation for all nations and individuals. TheSpiritual or subjective mind is a means of com-munication with these Divine Orders of CelestialPowers.

Ideas are invisible existences of external realities.Mind action imparts motion and manifests radiant

electrical energy the more mind action the greaterthe results. How to achieve practical results hasbeen a problem of all times.

The Promises and New Testament teachings ofour Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bring God nearerto mankind. Special intervention may be evoked toproduce material things from the unseen Universe.God intends mankind to master the secrets of theworld, the riches of the mind attracting the richesof the universe. The Divine gift of the spiritual

and subjective mind proves the vision. Law governsindividual affairs of life and world systems, andmagical mind powers attract unseen helpers readyto serve the enlightened will. Persistence createsdemands and unfolds opportunities.

The Arabian Nights' stories symbolize and por-tray the powers and possibilities of the subjective



electrical mind and are for the world. They are ofvaried origin Egyptians, Grecians, Persians, andOrientals, all contributing to their existence. Eventhe educated classes of the Arabs do not regard themost extravagant relations in the stories incredible.Genii are still believed to exist. The stories are

considered to be founded upon still earlier storiesand traditions, remodelled so as to picture remoteperiods of history. The religious and superstitiousincident of the stories, and their fascination andsupernatural romance have secured a hold onreaders which has never relaxed. On one collectionis inscribed: "Extolled be the perfection of Himwho has thus ordained the history of former genera-tions to be a lesson to those who follow."

The Lamp may symbolize the illuminating Spirit,the Will, the Mind, the Reason, the Powers of Man-kind, of Faith and Belief, a Light to guide the Wayand the Path of all Truth, Power and Success; anOpen Sesame for all.

Aladdin implored Divine protection and thankedGod for deliverance and said : "There is no poweror strength but in the Great and High God." Allcountries have their belief in folk-lore, fairies and

supernal beings. The Bible chronicles supernaturaland angelic ministrations. The early ChurchFathers advocated the intercession of Hierarchs ofhigher orders of beings who hand down the DivineLight to the faithful believers and act as inter-mediaries between God and mankind. We knowthe Universe to be governed by a Divine Principle.These Divine beings are a bond of union an OpenSesame between the Infinite and the finitemanifesting the imminence and accessibility ofGod.

There is a correspondence between the revelationsof the Bible Seers the accounts of the holy celes-tial visions of the Saints of the Church the absorp-tion of the mystics and the symbolic magic wordsOpen Sesame of the Arabian stories representingand expressing a continuous, conscious realizingpower of mankind, through commanding the



spiritual or subjective mind- forces an OpenSesame to power and successful achievement. Thesubjective mind power is of Divine origin and itscommand and use was authorized when man wasgiven dominion. The Christian Scientists affirm anOpen Sesame when teaching "Everything we wish

is in the 'Silence' or the All-Good awaiting ourrecognition to become manifest." The "Silence" isthe "Daytime of the Soul" of the Mystics who main-tain that in meditation and calm and holy contem-plation they have direct communion and communi-cation with the Divine Spirit and acquire knowledgeof Divine things and receive impressions of trueKnowledge.

In this practical age all are seekers, and the

number continually becoming more numerous. Thewhole world is electric with energy. The magicalmind, will and spirit intelligently summoned andinstructed, commanding marvelous results. TheArabian stories counsel the worship of God and onthe magic carpet of vivid description reveal thepowers and possibilities of mankind, and may beone of the digits of the hand of God pointing toprogress. From the dawn of the history of theworld existences of wonder workers and influences

above the ordinary or known have been believed.All miracle workers believe in the nearness of theunseen. The Arabian stories may portray theSpirit that inspired Columbus, the American Spiritof Independence as well as the magical word ofOpen Sesame. To our "heroic, enthusiastic, earnestand zealous ancestors we are indebted for thefoundation of our glory."

Solomon obtained wisdom by prayer. TheEgyptians believed human beings to be composed

of the body, the Divine Spark and that which con-nected the body and the Divine Spark, and prayedfor sacred blessings. Wonders have already beenaccomplished and only in the beginning. Mindattention summons mind forces and draws con-structive power in actuality corresponding to thequality of the thought sent out. This, at one timeknown to but few, is now, comparatively speaking,



shared by many. Recognizing the God-given do-minion and powers of free will, blessings number-less as the stars, and wonders surpassing imaginingsmay be revealed and realized. Bible statements andearly philosophy are now being scientifically proved.That the electrical energy of the Mind, Will and

Spirit is subject to law has been demonstrated. Thesubjective mind is the spiritual estate of mankind.In this vibratory domain the electrical spirit trans-mits and receives messages. The mind is inter-penetrated by impressions from the higher planes ofintelligence and existences of helpers to which thethought is directed by fixity of purpose. The subjective mind is the vehicle of the spirit, and main-tained and intense thought stimulates mentalactivity. Pursuing ideas leads to being pursued

by impressions of answers to ideas. Recognitionof, and training of mind power is of practical im-portance. Thought creates an ether movement ofinforming and reflecting vibrations. Auto-sugges-tion is a mental conversation with the subjectivemind conveying instructions and requests andgenerating and commanding power to receive re-plies. I can and I will serve as an Open Sesame.The Knowledge and Powers of the subjectivemind are being more generally understood its

powers and means of information must be of Divineorigin, as they can be accounted for and explainedin no other way. In proportion as the subjectivemind is trained and trusted will it respond by in-spiring thoughts of confidence and impressions ofpractical ideas. Reiteration is the name given topersistent auto-suggestion or instructions to thesubjective mind powers, and is a law of the con-structive and creative process of thought-buildingand a means or plan for continually expandingprogress. Acquired energy animates effort to

obtain objects sought for.

Electricity is revealing wonders. Early philoso-phers traced all things to the animating informingether. Modern philosophers and scientists reiteratethis and prove its vibratory powers. The magicalwireless telegraphy demonstrates the elements sum-moned, commanded and serving mankind.



The Spirit of the individual is identical with theSpirit of God, affirmed the early philosophers.Modern mind students proclaim the marvelouspowers of the subjective mind and agree that it hasmeans of information and resources which demon-

strate its Divine Source. The early philosophersaffirmed that the Deity stands in the relation of aGiver to mankind granting what is asked and thatthose who displayed more aptitude than otherssought for and obtained more of the informingspirit.

The Arabian stories tell of the wonder-workingLamp and of its attending servers and of themagical word of Open Sesame. In our era we are

rubbing the Lamp of the electrical magical Mindand Reason, and our thinkers are proving that theInfinite and Supreme Ruler of the Universe willhonor the demands of mankind. The Mystic as-sures in holy contemplation direct communion withthe Spirit of God. Students of Mind Science haveproved that when the conscious mind is centeredupon a purpose the subjective powers will faithfullyperform instructions given to it and that with train-ing and practice it will act more intelligently with

each experience. Belief and faith are requisite andstimulate and encourage its powers. Instructionspromote and produce perceptions. Intense feelingevolves ideas these auto-suggestions put the subjective mind at work manifesting the Divine planin self-realizing ideals. In the subjective mind,powers, will and persistent effort secures an in-valuable ally and helper for all endeavor concen-tration upon plans desired directs the will andmind toward information to obtain results. Thesepowers must be felt and reiteration trains feeling.

Magical forces are in every individual eager andready to serve the enlightened will. Knowledgeand Wisdom are first revealed inwardly dwellingon possible attainment, disclosing spirit impellingenergy. Practical Knowledge may be obtained byobservation and experience. Those who do wonderswork with God by partaking in part of Divinepower one of God's gifts to mankind. Wonder-



working angels accomplishing all things for man-kind forces of intelligence energizing the residentelectrical mind powers.

Mines of gold, precious gems and metals and allvaluable discoveries have yielded to demand and

energy. The Spirit, the Breath, Dominion, Free-will all bestowed by God, are electric with Hispower, inspiring mankind to go forth and find.Hierarchs preside over the Divine Orders of theUniverse who illuminate the intellect with intelli-gence and are an Open Sesame to mankind. TheArabian stories counsel the worship of God andare studies in Cheerfulness, Gratitude, Hope andWorship and depict the reward of those who byagreeable and entertaining endeavor make them-

selves valuable, all effort for good creating oppor-tunities by the magic of the electrical mind power.These stories portray individuals guarded by helperswho may be summoned and commanded to protectand assist mankind. These surrounding influencesmay picture the marvelous subjective forces com-municating and transmitting power to the seekerthrough identity with the animating UniversalForces. Earnest and intense desire attract thesepowers of reflex forces.

May not Open Sesame symbolize auto-suggestion?

May not Open Sesame symbolize the potency ofI can and I will?

May not Open Sesame symbolize all effort ?

The story of the voyager who overheard theappeal to God of his carrier, saying, "AlmightyGod, what has he done to obtain from Thee a lot

so agreeable?" describes the voyager answeringby giving the carrier a perpetual invitation tohis feasts, honoring him by placing him at his righthand at his table, and bestowing upon him giftsand riches thus illustrating the efficiency ofprayer.

These stories spur mental activity. They picture



all classes of people and individuals, and depictwhat may be summoned and commanded by deter-mined will. To reach the heights has always beenattended by industry. Alladin, removing the stone,discovered a palace and three great halls. Thepalace of the mind powers reveals the halls of

Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding leading toall Truth and Power. Rubbing the Lamp of Beliefand Faith illumines powerful agencies, summonedby the will and electric God-given spirit to exerciseand command them. In these Arabian stories therecipients of gifts and favors and privileges thankedand blessed God and expressed gratitude for healthblessings and benefits. Caution is extolled, whichmay also symbolize reason. They counsel the wor-ship of God, honoring the Divine Principle of the

Universe animating all substance and accessible toall. Happiness, the good things and luxuries ofthe world acquired by right methods and withreason, are for all to enjoy. The powers and re-sources of the Mind, Will and Spirit are an OpenSesame to unlock the door of Success.

The spirit of the elements has inspired genius inall ages of the world. Special responsive influencesemanating from Divine sources answer and

eagerly serve the faithful. The forceful have un-limited powers at their command. The vigilantobserver awakens effective electrical forces. In-trospection affords views of constantly expanding,serving, helpful agencies energizing vibrations ofinspiration and power. There are many ways ofaccomplishing the same result. God is over all.A sage said, "Seek, persist and ask the Omnipotentwithin remind it of its promises and keep itawake, and we shall receive that for which we askand find that for which we seek." God's power is

shared in part by those who by will and faith seekand use these channels of forces which respond toeffort. Supply awaits demand and energy ofthought and action. These Arabian stories por-tray the value of prayer and thanksgiving to God.Their worship and attitude towards God was mostintimate, asking for what was wished in a con-fident and expectant manner. These stories are



for the world and "Extol the perfection of Himwho has thus ordained the history of former gen-erations to be a lesson to those who follow." Thevirtues of the past should be emulated, the errorsavoided. The stories commend the good andpicture the awakening of the higher powers, re-

vealing the hidden treasures and possibilities ofmankind. Open Sesame, word used to unlock thedoor of Success, is for all. The Universe is inex-haustible in its sources of supply. The services ofthe elements, the earth and all nature awaitrecognition and action. God reproduces His powerin mankind through the electrical, all-encirclingSpirit. Mind images and impressions vary withthe quality and direction of thought consciousness.Soul power supplies the motor action for practical

accomplishment. The plan and object desired keptconstantly in view and before the mind attracts theservices of electrical spiritual forces from theabiding place of ideas.

Divine Orders of Beings preside over the Intelli-gences and influences who hand down the DivineLight to mankind the Seraphim higher than theCherubim, Archangels, Angels Divine Orders ofWisdom and understanding all who help and serve

mankind or in any way confer benefits and poweron humanity. Health, Prosperity, Happiness allthings sought for good await the seeker the in-dustry of the mind an Open Sesame to achieve-ment. Thinking creates ideas directing the facultiesof the mind at will and has been compared to besimilar in action to the telephone transmittingthoughts in certain desired directions and receivingideas and inspirations in response. The vibratoryether transmits the thought it interpenetrates theplane corresponding to the idea sent out and com-

municates answering perceptions of creative intelli-gence. This appears to be the method of the mindprocess. Specific instructions given the spiritualsubjective mind that in conscious contemplation doesthe deep thinking brings the information before theobjective mind or the part of the mind in generaluse, and presupposes that the mind is served byillumination conveying, informing, answering in-



telligence corresponding to requests. Train and usethese subjective mind powers the Divine mediumthrough which ideas may be received and trans-formed into electric action. By this power oneconquers. Roused into activity by auto-sugges-tion, intense feeling awakens latent faculties and

Knowledge of the laws governing the subjec-tive powers may master and control eventspersistent reiteration proves and reveals the vision.Human beings have celestial energy attractingpower. Like reproduces itself and creates by thevibratory process, reflecting ideas in answer tocontinuous particular insistency. Persistency inseeking for Opportunities creates them spiri-tual gifts manifesting to every one as he will.The Infinite communicates with the finite through

the spirit. The mind may be instructed and trainedto be on the alert for practical ideas, thus stimulat-ing the innate capacities of inventive genius. Theseprinciples practically applied discover new experi-ences and advance mental and physical activityacquired through following the laws governing thesubjective or spiritual mind power. Occupying themind with high ideals attracts thought from higherrealms. "Thought may become an art," answeringmany of life's inquiries the Divine principle in

mankind realizing mind imagery. Self-realizingpowers are constantly in process of unfoldmenteach advance verifying a vision of progress, dis-closing still further possibilities. Reiteration holdsthe mind on the purpose steady contemplationkeeps the subject before the mind belief strengthensthe faith that the object and ideals are attainable.To think hard enough images realities and effectsresults the subjective powers are impelling. Everyambition, aspiration, unusual idea, plan or endeavorfor betterment is possible and comes from the sub-

jective mind and should be heeded. The objectiveexercises free will and the reasoning powers andthe two minds or two parts of one mind in har-monious action effects the results. Artistic inspira-tions, genius, impulses, emotional involuntary ac-tion of memory are all creative gifts and attributesof the spiritual or subjective mind region and mayact in harmony with the Divine agents and all-



encircling Power. Reason must control. "Resultseffected are not chance." Ascending thought at-tracts descending power and assistance of superiorintelligences invisible to vision, but visible in results.These God-given subjective powers can be ac-counted for in no other way but by acknowledging

their Divine origin. The realm of the subjectivemind powers and its faithful and guiding serviceby which special intervention is evoked is "holyground." The elements respond the expectant,attentive mind receives impressions auto-sugges-tion instructs and trains, and belief and faith pro-motes and proves the laws governing the activityand powers of this spiritual or subjective mind.Ideas have counterparts in the realms of intelligenceready to be attracted. Soul contact with soul dis-

closes and demonstrates soul power and secretsradiating from these Divine realms. Hidden mys-teries and visions of superhuman splendor havebeen revealed by prayer and mystic contemplation.Christian Scientists affirm that their presentation ofTruth enhances the mental and physical powers andgives ability to exceed the ordinary capacities, andthat the human mind imbued with spiritual under-standing has greater endurance, extending the influ-ence of thought, giving mortals access to broader

and higher realms. Christian Science is worthy ofand merits admiration and respect. It is a practicalpresentation and application of the Bible. God gavemankind free will and dominion and reason shouldgovern all. Hierarchs preside over Orders ofDivine Beings extending over every service renderedto mankind. We are spiritual beings having accessto and partaking in a degree of Divine Power theseDivine influences and helpers may be attracted bythought and summoned and commanded to servemankind, through thought communion illuminating

thought perceptions and activities. Deep feeling,vivifying mind-imagery to be manifested in effects.Persistency is motor. "One may think to order."The more perfect the belief and faith in the subjective powers, the more improvable by instructionand the greater the command of its activities andpowers. Harmony is essential. Faith is dynamicin effect.



Thought is interpenetrating and interchangeable,its quality directing the plane or sphere of intelli-gence it enters, assuming that conditions have anexistence and an abode. By fixity of thoughtvibrations are communicated and sent out by the

thinker and answering comprehensive thought re-ceived and established. The more intense the per-sonality, the more conscious the thought impres-sions. The more the Infinite plan is grasped, thegreater the mind mastery and supremacy attainedand mankind's dominion asserted. Educating thesubliminal subjective mind or soul-power sets onefree. The objective is the consciousness of otherthings; the subjective is self-consciousness, said aphilosopher early in the last century. Intense con-

centration is commanding the attention of certainthoughts to the exclusion of others. This powerat hand and at command thought will follow theleading of the thinker. It is the table and feastspread before mankind and God's presence is feltto be imminent and real. Prayers and frequentthoughts of power through access to God attractindefinitely sustained creative inspirations of allintelligence. Soul forces send forth flash-lights ofcelestial illumination. Countless numbers of helpers

respond to the seeker. The will is untrammeled.God created mankind Spiritual beings and in pro-portion as the spiritual or subjective mind powersare cultivated and God's help asked, will answersand rewards be received. God intended mankind toconquer by awakening the innate Divine powers.These dominant electric forces of the world servemankind in the affairs of life. In all countries andindividuals has this all-encompassing power beenmanifested. Life is what one makes of it. Thosewho seek for blessings and happiness every day

will have blessings and happiness every day, said athinker. Open Sesame, word spoken to unlock thedoor of success, symbolizes the magic in the mind,manifesting the method of materialized thoughtwhen believed, lived and practiced.

These thoughts taught and expressed in all timesmust be reiterated the vision is seen, it can be



proved the spiritual or subjective mind powersvivifying results and proving the magic in the mind.The subjective power would seem to be a distinctor separate being, yet controlled by the one being.If to think of human beings having two separateminds, each under certain conditions capable of

distinct powers or one mind possessing certain at-tributes and powers under some conditions andcertain attributes and powers under other condi-tions, it seems as though the same philosophy mightapply to the whole being the spiritual being in-spiring and commanding powers and forces for thematerial being to manifest and constantly attractinghigher thought, and the services of the higherpowers and Hierarchs of the Divine Orders of Be-ings who hand down the Divine Light to mankind

to inspire the intelligence and energize the activitiesof the material body. These reflections and medita-tions unfold the powers and possibilities of mind-command. All are manifestations of the one greatUniversal Force, the origin and cause of all thingsconstantly in process of realization. Open Sesameis a master word for all mankind to transform theore of Knowledge into secrets of gold. OpenSesame, a word spoken to symbolize and summonand command the power in the mind a key to

unlock the door of Success.

Intuition teaches that the earnest longings of thesoul will be heard and answered proving the ex-istence of the bond of union between the individualand the responsive principle of the Universe. Theelectric motor power of the spiritual subjectivemind imparts action to conscious thought to reflectand reproduce constructive, creative Power andForces. An Open Sesame for every demand fromthe all-encircling source of all supply.



THE CENTRAL CALM

An organized Hierarchy of Divine Orders ofBeings from Seraphim and Cherubim to Archangelsand Angels hand down the Divine Light to mankind

and Celestial Intelligences communicate with man-kind through thought a bond of union betweenthe visible and the invisible, between God and man-kind. Max Muller in "Psychology of Religion."

Angels signify messengers communicate thegifts of God to man spread the knowledge of theHoly Spirit and the profound mysteries of God soas to bring all to Him. Angels are appointedguardians and messengers to mankind throughinner revelation from Divine Sources. Through the

Spirit the highest truths may be revealed. TheArchangels announce messages of special im-portance and sacredness. Rising from God theseHigher Orders like mirrors reflect the Divine Rays.This Radiant Light gives forth Spiritual Knowledgeto those who are ready to receive it. The Angelshave been likened to busy bees in God's service,flying between the flowers of heaven and earth,sweetly disposing all things, bearing vows andbringing gifts. "Study in Dante/' "Ten Heavens,"

Gardiner.

The Central Calm is a condition of Peace."Peace is not necessarily passivity." The mind maybe active and yet in a condition of Peace that hasOvercome.

Peace is a state of Harmony. Peace is a state ofconfidence and trust and Faith the individual inharmony with the attributes of the Universal Will

or the Divine Principle of the Universe or Godmanifested in ourselves.

Divine Orders of Beings exist who overwatch,guide and guard mankind respond to entreaty and'trust reveal the hidden mysteries of God by spread-ing the knowledge of Him to all seekers of HigherWisdom through thought communion apprehendedby the intellect. Concentrated thought attracts the



assistance of these spiritual helpers and forcesthrough the energy of mental action which qualifiesself-realization so as to apprehend spiritual power.To find the Central Calm is to seek the God within.Self-confidence and a sense of superiority followscalmness. First calmness, then more calmness, dis-

covers the Central Calm the source of Peace, Godin ourselves and helps solve some of the mysteriesand problems of life. "Mysticism is the Love ofGod a vision of the Divine animating substance ofthe universe in all things." "God in Himself is aneternal will to all goodness." The Spirit is ineverything and is all in all. The more accomplish-ment for good the more spirit manifested. Theunion of the Divine and human life makes man apartaker of the Divine nature and is possible by

contemplation. To seek and to find is to realize thereality of the Central Calm. May these DivinePowers descend and influence our thoughts so thatwe may receive that for which we ask and findthat for which we seek. The early wisdom seekers,seers, prophets and teachers knew that they com-municated with unseen Powers whereby knowledgeand understanding was imparted to those who wereto be guides to humanity. The Oriental philoso-phers have well-defined names for mind conditions

in their endeavor to attain to the blissful tranquillityof the Central Calm. These concise terms qualifyto serve and teach a system so as to conserve andsustain energy the Orientals are acquiring ourmethods of activity and progress an interchangeof values as it were. Yogi is a wise man Yoga ishis philosophy, Yoga being intense concentration.Prana is the infinite, omnipresent manifestingpower of the Universe. The Breath being themost obvious manifestation of the Prana. The con-trol of this vital force enables one to manifest action

and intelligence and energize health and strength.^Commands from the mind are capable of givingstrength and health, and develop physical andspiritual power obtained from the universal mindprinciple of action and energy and of banishing allundesirable conditions or elements. Maya, senseworld, or illusions, disturbing thought, or anythingallowed to disturb calmness.



Atma is the inseparable ray of the One selfthe God above. Thought in all its varying aspectsever striving upward, becomes permeated by the'Atma Light. Mana is thought in all its infinitestates. Realization comes by compelling will. All

are parts or manifestations of the Great or UniversalSelf, pulsing in innumerable forms. One Breathbreathing in all things. Nirvana self control in allthings Peace and Harmony in all the faculties.The one who has overcome Maya is no longer actedupon by his surroundings but acts upon them and isable to make his own environment or surroundingaura "trariquilizing the heart with thought^ con-trolled," townicn he allows no disturbing elementsor conditions in his efforts towards Nirvana or

Peace, the Central Calm of the Oriental Philosopher.The Higher Manas or Thoughts has overcome thelower manas. Ignoring all undesirable thought orlower manas, nothing can penetrate the aura or at-mosphere or mind conditions which manifest in thephysical conditions.

The individual who has thus mastered and con-trolled Self and attained Harmony has Overcomeand is no longer acted upon by his surroundings

but creates his own philosophy of life by recog-nizing his powers and privileges. Repose and calmthought conserves energy. We may "direct thecourse of our ideas by the application of our no-tice." The Japanese nation assert their Divine Ori-gin, incorporating the principles of their belief intotheir religion and daily life.

The conscious mental and physical powers, mani-fest, according to the degree sought, claimed andappropriated from the subconscious, the resident in-

dwelling region given to mankind by the SupremeIntelligence the First Cause to be utilised forhappiness in this life. The God given powers of freewill and dominion manifest the Infinite on earthbringing God nearer to man and are given for usefor the betterment of mankind.



Suggestions of confidence in our ability to succeedcreate action and explain the method of materializedthought possibilities becoming realities. Contem-plation brings God nearer to manifest Him to all.Intuition is inner knowledge. The subconsciousmind is a faithful emissary and agent and trans-

forms longings into enablings by faith in its powers.With clear perceptions established more subtle as-pects of forces are discovered. The Soul determinesmore distinctively spiritual phases the subcon-scious forming an envelope as it were for the soul,or, as the insight becomes clearer, new tracts ofunderstanding are discerned. The Eastern Philoso-phers designate the different mind faculties andsoul powers, mental and physical conditions andmanifestations each emanation enveloping more

subtle elements and phases each particular regionand aspect regulated, and manifesting, according tothe nature and direction of the thought and willacting as intermediaries upon the physical body andalso between the thought world and the physicaliworld the unseen causes of the seen effects. TheSoul disclosing divine rays and emanations andmore spiritual consciousness than the subconscious.The subconscious region disclosing more subtle ele-ments than the objective each recognizing and

manifesting conditions according to the nature anddirection of the thought and will intelligence, in-sight and faith projected. These powers and forcesare God manifesting in ourselves, "A ladder of theheaven of the mind," where angels descend. "Thegods or immortals were an allegory to symbolizesoul powers Olympus a symbol of the spiritualworld the gods the intelligences between the in-visible and the visible ready to serve mortals.The Hierarchs of Divine Orders of Celestial Beingsand Angelic Hosts are the bond of union, the con-

necting link between the spiritual worlds. Thereis always a mediator or vehicle of communion inter-penetrating and communicating between the planes.or spheres of action corresponding to the quality ofthe thought conditions.

The Holy Spirit is an amulet always at hand andabout us the Holy of Holies the Comforter prom-



ised from the beginning to abide with us forever.The reward is manifest, the subconscious is Godin ourselves. To recognize this is to be born again.A sense of the Presence of the Holy Spirit is Wis-dom and Understanding and intellectual power'the Divine union through the Breath of Life

breathed into us by God Himself when man becamea living soul.

"Who thus knows becomes united and merged init. Who sees Me everywhere and all in Me himwill I lose not nor will he lose Me. Great is thethinking self greater is the principle of judgment,and greater than the principle of judgment is He."Perceiving this Self illumines mental images. Godworking through us answering our prayers and as-

pirations by inspirations. "Angels are appointedguardians and messengers to mankind. The high-est truths may be revealed through the Spirit. Goodthoughts strengthen and invigorate. Cheerful andharmonious thoughts are active centers and attractand induce helpful influences. Music is Harmony.Accomplished good is Spirit demonstrated by self-preparedness. Our demonstrations stimulate andprove our Faith, forming and creating a magneticcenter which constantly widens as ideals are at-

tained.

In the Pastorals and the Georgics the agricul-turists were believed to have been supernaturally in-structed "Primeval Revelation concerning thecrops, orchards and vineyards. The early attain-ment of knowledge was through the awakened con-sciousness of the higher or spiritual forces andactivities. Celestial Intelligences handing down theDivine Light to mankind through concentratedmeditation and illumined thought and perceptions.

This Radiant, Divine Light gives spiritualknowledge to the seeker to be forwarded to benefithumanity. "Angels signify messengers and com-municate the gifts of God to man by spreading theknowledge of the Holy Spirit and the profound mys-teries of God to all Creation so as to bring all toHim." In free will man was made in God's o^wlimage to partake of his attributes. "The hammer



can not produce work without the craftsman."

"The Celestial Intelligences carry out the DivinePlan, influencing ideas in the material world by im-parting Divine Truth from the Supreme Realms."The human soul is made in God's image and like-

ness. "From the consideration of the grades ofperfection in things there must be Supreme Intelli-gence by which all material things are ordained andthis Supreme Intelligence is God." Intuition is thecertain and manifest knowledge of invisible things."The angels are likened to busy bees in God's ser-vice flying between the flowers of heaven and earthsweetly disposing all things, bearing vows andbringing gifts. Uniting intellectual vision to theDivine Essence it becomes the intelligible form of

the intellect. The archangels announce messagesof special importance and sacredness." Contem-plation manifests God to mankind. "This RadiantLight gives forth spiritual knowledge to allcreation."

"Thoughts commune with beings who people im-mensity broadening the mind and brightening theintellect responding to invocation and revealingwisdom to the seeker. The knowing self guided by

the will influences the affairs of Life.

The Psychic electric power of the spirit is the bondof union between the angelic hosts and mankind."Rising from God these Higher Orders communi-cate this Divine Light this Light and Love likemirrors reflecting the Divine Rays to mankind."Every good and perfect gift comes from the Fatherof Light.

"Man ascends from things of sense to things

apprehended by the intellect through visible thingsto the knowledge of invisible things." "The HumanSoul has three lofty prerogatives Immortality,Freedom of the Will, and Likeness to God." Di-vine Light comes from the Divine Essence to theindividual from the soul. In contemplation thoughtsare lifted up and receive understanding HeavenlyInfluences diffusing knowledge of Divine Truths.



Individuals are communicating centers for the re-flex action of thought and will to manifest Divineattributes. Even as the Universe is governed bylaw, so the individual universe of being and thewhole system of created things, is governed by lawand given for Use.

Ask and ye shall receive seek and ye shall findknock and it shall be opened, are instructions andprivileges intended to be relied upon and demon-strated.

[In the degree that we apprehend, perceive andexercise this knowledge of the subconscious powerswill we discover and discern new phases of thesepowers. The power of the mind over the body

strengthens the mental and physical energies. Re-ceptivity, recognition, belief and faith actualizesand vitalizes its supremacy. The inspiring sugges-tion blesses him that gives as well as takes." "Thesoul rises to spiritual exaltation, intellectual insightand command. We have within us an entirely inde-pendent immaterial principle. It represents an ex-altation above the temporal." Power responds toappeal and importunacy. Cheerful and harmoniousthoughts attract helpful influences, reveal celestial

secrets and assist in all endeavor. Calm thoughtillumines superior intelligence. "The awakening ofthe inner sense seems to demand quiescence of thebody "and the Spirit of God." The mission of theHoly Spirit is to vivify the soul or spirit it re-sponds to invocation and is the bond of union be-tween God and mankind "constituting the PsychicLife of Mankind" The Central Calm.
