fold our own latent possibilities, to be
law unto ourselves, to be interested
in the race rather than the goal.
Strong men care nothing for the flock
of imitators who trot complacently
behind them. They derive no salts
faction in the mere leading of large
numbers, or the plandits of the mob.
This pleases only petty natures and
inferior minds. individuality glories
more in the unfolding of the power
within than in the servility of the
weakling. individuality is real pow
er inherent in all and the develop
ment and consequent expression of this
power enables one to assume the re-
sponsibility of directing his own foot
steps rather than stampeding after
some Self-assertive bell-whether.
Truth is the imperative condition
of all well being. To be sure, to
know the truth and to stand conf
IDENTIFY on it is satisfaction beside
which no other is comparable. Truth
is the underlying verify, the condition
precedent to every business or social
relation. Truth is the only solid
ground in world of conflict doubt
and danger.
Every act not in harmony with
Truth, whether through ignorance or
design, cuts the ground from under
our feet, leads to discord inevitable
loss, and confusion, for while the
humblest mind can accurately fore
tell the resufssof every correct action,
the greatest, most profound and pene- .
trating mind loses its way hopelessly
and can form no conception of the re-
suits due to a departure from correct
principles.
Those who established within
themselves the requisite elements of
true success have established conf
dence, organized victory, and it only
remains for them to take such steps
from time to time as the newly
awakened thought force will direct,
and herein rests the magical secret of
all power.
Less than 10 per cent of our men
tai processes is conscious, the other 90
per cent is subconscious and uncon-
scious, so that he who would depend
upon his conscious thought alone for
results is less than 10 per cent ef-
fcent. Those who are accomplishing
anything worth while are those who
are enabled to take advantage of this
greater store house of mental wealth.
1t is in the vast domain of the sub
conscious mind that great truths are
hidden, and it is here that thought
finds its creative power, its power to
correlate with its object, to bring out
of the unseen the seen.
Those familiar with the laws of
electricity understand the principle
that electricity must always pass from
a higher to a lower potentiality and
can therefore make whatever applica-
tion of the power they desire. Those
not familiar with this law can effect
nothing; and so with the law govern
ing in the Mental World, those who
understand that mind penetrates all
things, is omnipresent and is respon-
sive to every demand, can make use
of the law and can control condi-
tions, circumstances and environment;
the uninformed cannot use it because
they do not know it. page 8, Col. 81
