I like to read other spiritual writer’s thoughts about
demonstrating or manifesting using spiritual practices and
Laws. I believe that these can give us the “self-help” that
will motivate us to realize more of the good that we desire to
experience in our lives. Now .. I don’t mean to say that we are
to follow them in a “rote” or “ repetitive” way as I believe
that just as the Infinite Spirit is “individualized” within each
of us, we must “individualize” or “personalize” our communion
with the Spirit; both within and infinitely expressing
universally in order to receive the “correspondent” to that
which we are desiring to realize in our personal life
experience. As the Master Mind Jesus stated: ask and you shall
receive … seek and you shall find … knock, and the door will be
opened to you.
What the Master
Mind Jesus is telling us in these simple words is that
there is a Power for Good in the Universe and we can use it!
With these profound words
of wisdom to guide us, let us look at some words that will
hopefully lift up our faith to the realm of the evidence of
things not seen:
Robert Collier's
Secret of the Ages has inspired millions around the
planet to deeper insights and thus joy and success. I want to
share some of his insights with you:
Some of the Principles which Robert Collier espoused to support
people's positive transformation include:
Action: Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is
possible with the means you have, and as you proceed in this
spirit the way will open for you to do more.
Affirmation: You must intensify and render continuous by
repeatedly presenting with suggestive ideas and mental pictures
of the feast of good things, and the flowing fountain, which
awaits the successful achievement or attainment of the desires.
Conflict: One might as well try to ride two horses moving in
different directions, as to try to maintain in equal force two
opposing or contradictory sets of desires.
Desire: Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it forms a
nucleus with power to attract to itself everything needed for
its fulfillment.
The first principle of success is desire--knowing what you want.
Desire is the planting of your seed.
Very few persons, comparatively, know how to Desire with
sufficient intensity. They do not know what it is to feel and
manifest that intense, eager, longing, craving, insistent,
demanding, ravenous Desire which is akin to the persistent,
insistent, ardent, overwhelming desire of the drowning man for a
breath of air; of the shipwrecked or desert-lost man for a drink
of water; of the famished man for bread and meat.
Giving: You have to sow before you can reap. You have to give
before you can get.
Imagination: Pictures help you to form the mental mold.
Luck: All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who
persists through the bad luck--who keeps right on going--is the
man who is there when the good luck comes--and is ready to
receive it.
Obstacles: The mere fact that you have obstacles to overcome is
in your favor.
Planning: Make your mold. The best flux in the world will not
make a usable shape unless you have a mold to pour it in.
Success: Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in
and day out.
Visualization: See things as you would have them be instead of
as they are.
<>
As with all things, we should take what
rings true for us and leave the rest. I personally believe
in "luck" either good luck or bad luck. What I do believe
in is the value of persistence. And I pray that you do
too!
Keep the Faith!
