The race mind was beginning to feel the effect of this new Light of Understanding. By the 1800's esoteric philosophy and practical mysticism were moving across Europe and America like a tidal wave. It is now estimated that at least 25 percent of the population America is involved in some measure with what is considered Esoteric Philosophy or New Thought Religion. And right in the mainstream of this consciousness is the Truth that God is boundless wealth, and as expressions of the Infinite we have an abundant inheritance. With more than 2000 years of censoring, editing and translating, the Golden Light of the Father's Assurance remains.
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them and ye shall have them. Man was born to be rich, or grows rich by the use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Annie Besant, who followed H. P. B. as head of the Theosophical Society. What we need to realize above all else is that God has provided for the most minute needs of our daily life and that if we lack anything it is because we have not used our mind in making the right contact with the supermind and the cosmic ray that automatically flows from it. Worldly riches have been feared, despised, condemned, and even hated by spiritual aspirants, because of ignorance of how to be in them and yet not of them, how to possess them and not be possessed by them.
