How will you visualize your plans?


Your mind is your servant—have it so under your personal control that nothing affects it—have it a servant of your own wishes. 



You will then visualise your plans and make a real thought-home.

What are the Black Book and White Book?


On entering the spirit-world, you find the obstructions to memory removed. 

You are sometimes surprised to observe in old people the vivid recollection of the scenes and events of their early childhood―

In many others, there is a tendency, as life advances, to dwell with especial interest on the friends of their youth. 

The reason for this lies in the fact that the body is beginning to loosen its connection with the spirit previous to death. 


When 
the final severance comes, the whole past stands revealed like a panorama―

All that is bad is a constant source of self-reproach and consequent unhappiness to the individual, whilst that which is good affords him pleasure. 

This evidence of the past, which may be called the black book and the white book that you read of in scripture is thus laid open by death to the eyes of each one immediately on his entrance into the spirit-world. 

Thus, he is unhappy or happy, according as he has done well or ill in his life on earth. 


And not only is 
the past life laid bare to himself, but it is patent also to all his friends, for the spirit shows in his person the sort of life he has led in the past and he cannot change the appearance of the picture until he has obliterated the recollection of all that was evil by making restitution to those he has wronged and obtaining the forgiveness of those he has injured.

The picture is changed by such acts of compensation. 

When the feelings of others towards one are changed, his own memory of the past becomes dimmed because there is nothing left to remind him of it until, eventually, it fades away altogether. 

He has difficulty in recalling it. 


All creation is an open book.

 
All creation is an open book. 

Its alphabet is written in four lettersform, colourtone and number. 


Not a herb that grows but proclaims aloud in unmistakable language its exact use, power and potency. 

This is as true of the stars in heaven

In fact of everything in humanity and in the cosmos. 


Verily, to the eye that can behold, and to the ear that can hear, there is nothing hid that will not be revealed.


Does your heart beat true?


Words mean nothing in thanks if the heart does not beat true—if the motive behind the words represent nothing. 


A soul, which is in tune knows when another speaks and gives from the soul, which is a part of God—God's reflection and masterpiece. 

What can never be lost?

Nothing, which is God's expression can be lost forever.

How do you conquer anything?

Recognise the fact that nothing is conquered that has not been turned to its highest use.

Does each soul have a word that expresses it?

Yes, for each soul bears a separate and individual relation to the great Source.

What is the Word as used in the New Testament?

The Word is God in his character of Creator and Manifester. 

Nature and the spirit are its great symbols to our race. 

How do you correct faults?

If you have a fault you wish to correct, create its opposite. 

Think no more about the fault, but put all your thought on its opposite. 

For instance, if you are given to evil imaginings on this subject, when you feel the creative power coming upon you at once begin to create lofty ideals and thoughts of purity. 

Understand that nothing can come to you that you yourself do not admit within your aura. 

The impure thought-forms are your own creations—created by the impure use of the creative force. 


Strive then with all your might to send out thought-forms of purity in such numbers, and with such power, that they will transmute and redeem the impure ones.

How must you think of yourself?


Think of yourself as one with 
a glorious Father-in-heaven who is constantly shedding over you a radiant light. 

This light is a force—or flame coming from above—or rather from within your own heart (the lamp). 

But there must be the oil of love, and the wick of truth and confidence and trust, so the light may shine forth in the darkness and make a ring of light and force around you. 


As far as 
the light can send forth its rays you are surrounded by a protective aura, and no entity can penetrate within this ring unless you open a door. 

Keep your doors diligently

Open them only to go forth carrying blessing and help to all who need, but shut them tight against any who would enter to desecrate the Holy Temple. 

Hold fast to the idea that you desire nothing, but divine wisdom, and will admit nothing but spiritual light.

You yourself create or correlate with.

Remember that nothing ever comes to you except that which you yourself have created—or correlated with.

Are you accumulating an inheritance of secret devils?

 
It appears to me that I have an accumulated inheritance of secret devils, among which stand out prominently a hasty tempera sharp tongueintellectual pridelascivious thoughts.

Hold the thought persistently in mind that the devils you speak of are the children of your own creation—not mere characteristics, but really created entities upon the mental and astral planes—entities, which you through many lives have created. 

Being your very own, you must master them. 

But mastery does not mean annihilation—



All that is has within it a germ of good, as well as evil, and this germ is expressed according to the use that is made of it. 

In fact, evil is but the shadow of good. 


It is the work—the first step—of every earnest seeker after freedom to take stock of just what he has created out of the God-power of creative force given him in the beginning as his most precious possession.

When you have taken such stock, realise that these things are yours to use—the weapons with which you must fight—the forces and materials out of which you must build up your immortal habitation. 


Realise that nothing once created can ever thereafter cease to be—also, that the redemption of all through the power of The Christ must be accomplished. 

It is this that gives true individuality to each one, for while all are one, yet each makes an individual expression of the One Life by creating through the power of his lifeforce. 


Since all your creations must be redeemed by their creator, all sorts of experiences are garnered and stored up for the One Life.

A hasty temper is like a fire—put it in a furnace and it will generate steam or force that will run machinery and accomplish great work for the world. 

A sharp tongue controlled will be a weapon that can fearlessly cut the evil from the good—its ruler is love.

Intellectual pride is a dangerous master, but a wonderfully efficient servant. 

Wed it to humility and let love bless the union. 


Lascivious thoughts are astral lust-bodies created by the misapplication of the physical creative fluid—

Remember that that fluid always creates if not upon the physical plane, then upon the astral—following out the desires and lusts of the creator. 


Learn the holiness and sacredness of the sex-forces

Send out thoughts of love and purity that will conquer and transmute these creatures of lust, and take their place as helpers rather than hinderers.

Keep on praying, but consciously assert your power through your divine heritage to hold all your devils subject to you. 

Chain them—

Put them to work under the lash of your purified will until they can be transmuted and redeemed by you through the power of The Christ.

What is valued at nothing?


A thing that costs you nothing is valued at nothing. 


Just in proportion to the real love and sacrifice will be the value to your own soul. 

In other words, what you love you work for, sacrifice your time and money for. 

Out of those things—or their inner force is your character built up. 


If you value dress, earthly gain, self-indulgence—or earthly honours, you work and sacrifice for them, and the inner force that creates the desire grows into your character. 

And soon you have either a frivolous—miserly—inordinately selfish—or ambitious character. 


If you desire the fruits of the spirit—

Love—joy—peace—long-suffering—gentleness—patience—humility—

You will exert your every effort for them. 

And the effort thus put forth will grow into character, for only through effort can you ever gain them.

What is only waiting for the breathe of love?


There is no death, but disappointment and lost ideals. 



Breathe life into your idealsnew life and hope. 


Set them once more upon the pedestal

Determine that they be imbued with life. 


Nothing is lost but the mere husk of an ideal―

The germ is still thereonly waiting for the breath of love to bring it forth in new and glorious garments, fit for the wedding feast of your soul.

What is yours for the picking up?

 
The Father's hand reaches out toward you―

A complete happiness and satisfaction is yours for the picking up. 


Ask―and ye shall receive.

Seek―and ye shall find. 

What is individual karma?


The world's karma limits individual karma, but within those limits individual karma places you either high or low. 

Live the best you can in your karmic position and understand yourself so that you can use this earth-life as a stepping-stone to something higher.  


No conditions are given you that you do not need, and the moment you get out of a condition, you are rid of it forever. 

Find the Jewel of Truth in the mire of your existence and make your life more tolerable. 


Nothing that you understand can crush―or terrify you, for you can set out to overcome it without fear. 


You may remember the story of the great naturalist who while watching a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis was moved to cut some of the confining sheath by pity at its violent struggles to free itself. 

But when the butterfly emerged, he found it but a poor―weak―crippled―thing unable to fly. 

He was forced to see that the very violence of the struggle for freedom was necessary for the perfection of its strength and self-reliance. 

It is just so with each human soul in its struggle to free itself from the chrysalis of the physical. 


The greater the struggle if persisted in to victory, the stronger and more self-reliant will be the newborn soul.
