There Is a great truth for every one Of
| US In Kipling's lines:
IF there be good In that wrought.
Thy hand compelled 1t. Master. Thine.
Where have failed to inset Thy thought
j know. through Thee. the blame 10 mine"
Whatever comes into our lives is merely
the result Of previous mental attitude.
previous thinking. previous desire. long
ing. fear or dread. In other words. every
thought. whatever its nature, is creating
In US that which corresponds to ITSELF
The law holds good in all things.
Everything originates In mind. Creative
thought forms the nucleus, the starting
point of everything in the universe. the
flower. the fruit. the animal. the man.
Each In turn has been called from an in
finitesimal nucleus originating in Divine
mind. which gives II its irrepressible ten
dency to grow into a perfect type.
Every noymal human being feels the
urge of this upward tendency. the evolu-
tionary pressure. which Is ever pushing
man on to scale new heights.
This great spirit Of progress Is back of
all cosmic energy. Everything in the
universe Is obeying this force. The min
eral. the plant. the tree. the fower-all
are reaching out as far as they can I'm
their self-expression; they are climbing
to a higher level. All animal life is
obeying the same impulse. Every living
thing is trying to lift itself a little high
er. to expand its life to broader proper
tions. And man. the human being, sur
rounded with an aura, composed bf his
thoughts. his convictions. his faiths. his
doubts his hopes, and fears. his likes
and dislikes. all his habitual mental atti-
tudes. This becomes q powerful magnet
for attra citing the things for which 1t has
an affinity. II attracts more discord.
more poverty. more discomfort. more un-
happiness. or more love. more prosperity
more peace. more happiness according
to its nature. In other words. every hu-
man being Is surrounded by a subtle
force. an atmosphere which he has fash
ioned from his thoughts and which in
fiuences his personality. his conduct. his
whole present and future life.
Your future will be conditioned largely
on what is already in your aura. because
you will carry its powerful magnet with
You wherever you go. Some people and
some things you will attract: others you
will repel. exactly in accord with what
you have In your aura
II We were trained to build our aura Of
cheerful. happy. optimistic. wholesome
thoughts. high Ideals and noble purposes;
II We were taught that our moods. our
faiths. our beliefs. our philosophy. our
ideals all enter into the making of this
invisible destiny-influencing magnet to
attract more and more of the things for
which 1t has an affinity, for what is al
ready there. what marvellous things We
could accomplish, We could insure peace
Of mind perpetual content. We could es-
tablish health, happiness, success.
For centuries it was thought practi-
cally impossible so to control and use our
thoughts that they would build as we de-
sired: to admit to our minds only our
friend thoughts, friend emotions, that
they would build physically as well as
mentally. that they would produce
health. happiness, efficiency. and pros
perity. People felt that the mind had
little IL anything to do with fixing their
condition in life: that they. in a way.
were victims of circumstances and that
thoughts could do much in altering them
So they allowed their enemy thoughts to
carry on their damnable work of devas-
tation. destroying their lives.
Now We know better. Circumstances
what used to be called Fate and Destiny,
do not have the same terror for us as
formerly. We have found that We can
change our thoughts, hence We can
change and control circumstances. deter
mine what our destiny shall be We
victims Of things which hinder our am
bitions. dwarf our lives. kill our happi-
ness ruin our efficiency and our careers
We now know that IL We tolerate enc
mics in our minds which work toward
these things II Is our own fault
