Rahsia Seorang Jutawan

Satu hari semasa saya sedang menunggu bas , saya di datangi oleh seorang lelaki separuh umur yang berpakaian kemas . Beliau bertanyakan arah tetapi saya tidak tahu dengan pasti lokasinya . 

Kami berbual mesra seolah- olah seperti kawan lama . Kami bercerita tentang hal ehwal semasa sehinggalah kepada bisnes . Pada satu ketika beliau berhenti bercerita dan dengan nada serius beliau ingin mendedahkan satu rahsia yang jarang diketahui orang . Beliau memberitahu bahawa , ramai orang yang telah mendengarnya tetapi hampir semuanya tidak mengambil perhatian , walaupun ianya boleh mendatangkan kekayaan kepada sesiapa yang menggunakannya . 

Telinga saya mula bergetar mendengar setiap apa yang beliau katakan . Beliau seolah- olah perasan saya begitu taksub sehingga beliau memberi amaran seperti seorang yang sedang marah . Saya cuba mengingati setiap perbualan kami sebaik yang boleh . 

Jutawan : Jangan buat kesalahan besar dengan melupakan apa yang ingin saya beritahu , walaupun anda pernah mendengarnya sebelum ini . Saya pasti anda tentu pernah mendengarnya daripada seseorang paling kurang sekali dalam hidup anda . Mungkin juga anda pernah mendengarnya beberapa kali . Rahsia dalaman ini , jika digunakan dalam bisnes akan menyebabkan wang mengalir ke dalam hidup anda seperti air yang turun dari gunung tanpa henti . 

Sesiapa sahaja tanpa mengira pangkat atau pelajaran boleh menggunakannya . Dan prinsip ini jika digunakan dalam perhubungan , anda akan mempunyai ramai kawan sehingga tidak terlayan . 

Saya : Apa rahsianya itu , saya tidak sabar hendak tahu ! 

Jutawan : Sabar sahabat , sabar . Saya tidak akan beritahu anda seperti mana yang pernah anda dengar sebelum ini daripada seseorang yang tidak faham atau menghormati ilmu . Tidak ! Saya akan berikan kepada anda dengan satu cara yang lain . Apa bisnes anda sekarang ? 

Saya : Hmm !! Saya buat urusniaga Pos dan internet . Saya menempah iklan dan menjual buku . 

Jutawan : Ok , cukup menarik ! Gaya Pos memang perniagaan yang unik . Biar saya beritahu anda bagaimana untuk menjana kekayaan dalam Gaya Pos. Apa yang mesti anda buat ialah mencipta satu produk yang anda sendiri hendak beli . 

Saya : Hmm !! Saya tidak faham maksud anda ! 

Jutawan : Anda akan faham nanti . Cuba lihat , anda adalah pasaran anda . Apa yang anda mahukan , berjuta lagi orang lain juga mahukan benda yang sama . Produk terlaris yang sedang anda cari , juga adalah produk sama yang sedang dicari- cari oleh orang lain juga sekarang ini . 

Apa yang perlu anda lakukan ialah mencipta satu produk yang anda sendiri hendak beli , satu produk yang anda sendiri mahukan . 

Dan apabila anda sudah mendapat produk itu , tanya soalan ini pulak . Apakah mesej jualan yang ingin anda berikan supaya anda tahu ianya adalah produk yang sedang anda cari . Jika orang lain sedang menjual produk ini , bagaimanakah iklan tersebut berbunyi supaya anda akan membelinya . Jika anda tahu jawapannya , itulah iklan yang perlu anda gunakan . 

Saya : Oh , begitu (teragak- agak)

Jutawan : Cuba lihat kedai di depan sana (Restoran) . Saya boleh gandakan pendapatannya 3 kali ganda dalam masa 10 minit . Itu pun yang sebenarnya saya lakukan (tersenyum) . 

Apa yang saya perlu lakukan ialah masuk ke dalam Restoran tersebut sebagai pelanggan . Saya duduk dan bayangkan semua perkara yang boleh dilakukan ke atas saya yang akan menyebabkan saya menjadi pelanggan setia mereka seumur hidup . Apa yang boleh mereka lakukan kepada saya yang menyebabkan saya rasa seperti itu . Selepas saya mendapat jawapan kepada soalan tersebut , saya akan lakukan kepada semua pengurusan . Setiap pelanggan akan dilayan seperti apa yang saya bayangkan . Tanpa keraguan , keuntungan mereka pasti akan meningkat tiga kali ganda daripada sekarang . 

Saya : Saya rasa saya tahu ... !!

Jutawan : Tunggu , anda belum tahu apa- apa pun lagi . Itulah masalah yang terjadi kepada semua orang . Mereka tidak mengambil kisah tentang sesuatu oleh sebab dari mana ianya datang atau mereka sudah mendengarnya beberapa kali . 

Anda tidak akan tahu selagi anda belum fikirkan secara mendalam dan gunakan . 

Saya : Ok ! 

Jutawan : Apa yang saya beritahu anda mempunyai satu kuasa yang tidak mampu anda bayangkan . Walau sepotong ayat juga tidak mampu untuk menghuraikannya . Apa yang saya beritahu anda adalah Peraturan , bukan peraturan manusia tetapi yang Maha Kuasa . 

Ianya menunjukkan bagaimana sesuatu berfungsi dan sesiapa yang faham dengan sebenarnya akan berjaya dalam apa jua bidang sekalipun . Apa yang orang tidak faham ialah ianya boleh digunakan untuk semua perkara . Rahsia ini boleh digunakan dalam setiap langkah yang anda ambil , semua perkara yang anda lakukan dan setiap perkataan yang anda ucapkan . 

Jika anda seorang penulis , tulis seperti yang anda hendak ianya dituliskan !! 
Jika anda seorang jurujual , jual seperti mana yang anda hendak ianya dijualkan !! 
Jika anda seorang penceramah , berucap seperti mana yang anda hendak ianya diucapkan !! 
Jika anda mahukan lebih kasih sayang , sayangi seseorang seperti mana anda hendak disayangi !! 
Jika anda mahukan lebih ramai kawan , jadilah sahabat seperti mana yang anda mahukan !! 

Jika anda seragamkan semua yang anda lakukan dengan rahsia ini , sesuatu yang ajaib akan berlaku . Bisnes mendominasi pasaran , buku menjadi laris (best- seller) , pemimpin menarik lebih ramai pengikut setia . 

"Bagaimanakah yang anda mahukan ?"
"Apakah reaksi anda ?"
"Apakah yang anda rasakan ?"

Itulah soalan- soalan yang perlu anda tanya setiap kali anda mahu melakukan sesuatu atau mencipta sesuatu . Anda akan menyelami hati dan perasaan seseorang di bawah pengaruh anda , apabila anda fikirkan bagaimana jika ianya berlaku kepada diri anda terlebih dahulu . 

Walaupun bisnes Gaya Pos saya masih terdapat kekurangan , tetapi saya masih menjana wang yang agak lumayan . Rahsia dalaman inilah jawapannya . Saya selalu bertanya kepada diri sendiri , "Bagaimanakah saya ingin dilayan oleh syarikat ini ?" , "Apakah yang ingin saya lihat ?" , "Apa yang saya mahukan ?"

Soalan- soalan mudah itu adalah tugas anda untuk menjawabnya . Apabila anda sudah mendapat jawapannya , cuba lakukan dan lihat hasilnya .

Formula 14 - Sifir Hutang

 "Hutang boleh menjadi penyebab kepada rezeki tersekat daripada sampai kepada kita" . 

Suatu ketika dulu , saya tidak pernah berhutang dengan sesiapa hatta satu sen sekalipun. 10 tahun lalu sebelum saya memasuki Universiti , saya menjaga ibadah , silaturrahim , hati ibu bapa dan aurat. Saya sangat menjaga tingkah laku sehingga setiap orang yang datang kepada saya, mereka pasti suka dan tertarik dengan saya. Itulah yang dikatakan rezeki. 

Pada waktu itu , rezeki memang melimpah- limpah. Ada sahaja sumber yang tidak disangka-sangka datang, saya sifir hutang. Mudah sungguh perjalanannya. Hidup saya penuh gelak dan ketawa. Ibu saya pernah berkata kepada seseorang yang saya lupa wajah dan diri empunya badan bahawa saya ini anak yang sangat murah rezeki, mendapat biasiswa itu ini, belajar kelas terpandai dan sebagainya. 

Setelah masuk Universiti tahun pertama, saya diberikan biasiswa JPA yang berjumlah Rm5,000 untuk satu semester. Banyak dan kaya bukan ? Alhamdulillah syukur. Sangat mewah hidup saya di UKM. Tidak perlu risau hal kewangan dan sebagainya. Saya juga dapat elaun tambahan Rm1,800 bagi satu semester daripada UKM pula. Jadi jumlah yang saya peroleh ialah Rm6,800. 

Wah! Sangat kaya buat diri saya yang bergelar pelajar Universiti pada usia 20 tahun. Saya dilahirkan dalam kalangan keluarga miskin, tidak pernah pegang duit sebanyak itu. Gembira bukan kepalang. Walaupun orang lain lebih banyak duit daripada saya, saya rasa diri sudah kaya benar. Tolak yuran , duit buku dan lain-lain, bakinya saya simpan ke akaun tetap dan belanja saraan sepanjang bergelar mahasiswi. 

Sepanjang dua tahun setengah menuntut ijazah, memang tiada masalah hutang dan duit . Tambah pula pada suatu hari, saya terima SMS daripada pihak bank yang menyatakan duit saguhati telah dimasukkan ke akaun saya sebanyak Rm2,000++. Saya tidak tahu itu duit apa namun ia daripada pihak JPA. 

Walhal saya telah terima belanja Rm5,000 setiap semester. Dapat tambahan Rm2,000 itu , saya terkedu dan sangat bersyukur. Setiap malam selepas solat Isyak , saya kerjakan solat sunat hajat. Saya buat secara istiqamah. Sangat senang hidup saya kerana saya tidak pernah berhutang dan menjaga ibadah diri dengan baik. Alhamdulillah . 

Pada semester akhir , hidup mula diselubungi kegelapan , kemurungan , masalah mula bertandang kerana saya lalai dan terjebak dalam beberapa perkara yang dilarang. Rezeki akan lari apabila kita mula mendekati maksiat. Itulah yang terjadi kepada saya . Maksiat hati, tangan, mata, telinga dan mulut. 

Hidup saya mula tidak keruan, sentiasa resah gelisah. Tahun terakhir itu, bayangkan simpanan saya hilang Rm5,000 sekelip mata dari akaun bank saya. Saya miliki simpanan Rm13,000 ketika itu. Saya bingung dan pergi ke bank untuk tuntut semula duit yang hilang namun tidak berjaya. Saya gagal. Jadi bakinya makin tinggal sedikit iaitu Rm8,000. 

Duit simpanan mulai kurang . Saya diduga lagi dengan keperluan adik dan diri untuk biayaan duit lesen memandu berjumlah Rm2,500 untuk dua orang. 

"Jika tiada lesen dan tidak buat pada ketika saya ada duit ini, bila lagi mahu buat ? Nanti bila mahu bekerja , tiada lesen , masalah pengangkutan pula", fikir saya. 

Tanpa berkira , saya keluarkan simpanan. Duit yang hilang, saya redha ia pergi kerana itu bukan rezeki saya. Baki yang ada hanyalah Rm4,000 lebih untuk masa hadapan saya. Masalah ini saya tanggung seorang diri. Kegelisahan saban malam saya pendam sendiri. Mereka hanya tahu saya gembira. Saya tak menangis namun saya susah hati sampai kurus. Badan mula nampak kerangka, tulang rusuk timbul. Bukan itu sahaja, saya turut bergelut dengan tesis dan penyelia . Makin berat tekanannya. 

Setelah tamat pengajian, saya berhasrat menyambung pengajian ke peringkat Master. Ketika saya dilanda masalah kewangan , saya mula belajar berniaga, buat dropship (jual barang orang tanpa pegang stok). Saya jual apa sahaja di FB. Duit untung hasil jualan yang sikit itu saya buat tampung belanja study. 

Sejak itu, saya terpaksa minta duit yuran daripada abang- abang dan kakak- kakak yang bekerja. Mereka sangat mudah membantu walaupun susah. Alhamdulillah, terima kasih adik- beradikku. Jasamu akanku balas In Sha Allah bila tiba masanya. 

Peringkat Master sangat perit, laptop rosak, terpaksa keluarkan simpanan beli laptop baru. Masa ini, saya tidak lagi semewah degree, hanya dapat tajaan KPT untuk yuran pengajian dan PTPTN sebagai duit sara hidup. Saya berniaga sungguh- sungguh. Setiap hari ada saja rezeki masuk namun rezeki cepat pergi . Cepat masuk, cepat keluar. Saya tidak tahu puncanya. 

Saya mula belajar berhutang dengan rakan baik. Saya pinjam Rm200 untuk bayar kaji selidik lapangan. Saya tiada duit, malah semakin sempit, sempit dan terus sempit. Setelah tamat pengajian dengan payahnya, diri masih alami ujian, dugaan, azabnya tidak terungkap dengan kata- kata, masalah kewangan dan kesihatan yang cukup teruk. 

Saya masih lagi mempunyai duit simpanan dalam Rm3,000 lebih. Saya beli motor supaya senang ulang- alik kerja. Duit simpanan sudah habis. Hutang rakan yang dipinjam sebanyak Rm200 masih belum dibayar. Saya tangguhkan dan sering saja tangguh kerana ada keperluan lain yang mendesak. 

Akibat tangguh hutang walau cuma Rm200 , saya dibelenggu resah gelisah , tidur malam tidak pernah lena. Sudah gelap gelita dunia. Beberapa bulan setelah tamat pengajian, saya bekerja sebagai guru Matematik dan Sains di sebuah sekolah. Dengan gaji itu , dapatlah saya bayar hutang tersebut. Alhamdulillah selesai, lega teramat sangat. 

Walaupun begitu, saya masih hadapi kesempitan wang, mahu bayar rumah sewa, motor, barang-barang lain dan mahu beri duit kepada ibu ayah di kampung. Gaji terasa tidak cukup. Disebabkan simpati, rakan serumah pinjamkan saya RmX,XXX . Saya terpaksa berhutang lagi. Terpaksa! 

Saya memang tidak sukakan hutang. Namun rakan serumah sangat baik. Walaupun dia kata tidak mengapa hutangnya dibayar lambat sedikit, saya pasti dia sedang susah kerana mahu pergi Luar Negara buat kaji selidik. Dia perlukan duit . Saya tidak keruan. Saya tidak pernah nyatakan kepadanya bila saya mahu bayar. Saya belum dapat bayar hatta satu sen ketika saya kerja selama berbulan- bulan. 

Mengapa? Ada- ada sahaja masalah menimpa yang memerlukan duit. Saya tertanya- tanya kenapa jadi begini, silapnya di mana ? Solat jaga seperti biasa dan sebagainya namun ia tidak lagi setenang dan sekhusyuk dulu. 

Sehinggalah saya terbaca satu post :

"The problem is not a problem . Your attitude about the problem is the problem" (Captain Jack Sparrow).

Hutang boleh jadi sebab kepada rezeki tersekat sampai kepada kita kerana ada hak orang lain dalam duit kita yang masih belum kita langsaikan. Allah beri lebih untuk kita langsaikan belenggu hutang kita. Jangan kerana mulut manis kita, hidup orang lain susah. 

Ada duit lebih, bayar hutang terus. Elakkan simpan konon nak buat modal niaga, bayar guna duit hasil untung dan sebagainya. Elakkan buat pelaburan yang lain sebab nak guna duit untung dividen sahaja buat bayar hutang. 

"Ada orang hutang Rm3,000 pun sudah gelap dunia, ada orang hutang Rm3 juta relaks sahaja".

Lagi sekali, "the problem is not a problem, your attitude about the problem is the problem". 

Hutang apa yang kita ada sekalipun lihat dengan mata sendiri. Sama ada hutang itu kecil atau nampak besar, it is your call. 

Kenapa ketika kita minta hak orang lain (hutang), kita bermanis muka dan janji pelbagai ragam? Dan saat lunaskan hak-hak orang yang kita pinjam sementara, kita pula rasa berat? Mati syahid pun tak lepas kalau ada hutang. 

"Mengapa orang dahulu kala ada rumah sebiji sahaja ? Kerana mereka tidak mahu berhutang dibawa mati. Kerana mereka tidak mahu terlibat dengan Riba. Jadi lunaskan hak orang, Allah akan kembalikan hak kita". (Faiz Sufi, 2014)

Terkesan dengan kata-kata ini, baru saya tahu punca sebenar hidup saya porak- peranda. Kerana saya tiada masalah yang lebih berat berbanding hutang ini. Kerana setiap hari, ia pasti mendatangi saya. Namun saya masih lagi menangguh-nagguhkan pembayarannya . Maka, saya terus langsaikan hutang sedikit demi sedikit yang mana mampu. 

Ikut cara Ustaz Yusuf Mansur di bawah :

(1) Cari orang lebih susah dari kita dan bayarkan hutang orang yang lebih susah dari kita itu. 

(2) Usahakan sedekah 10% dari hutang kita. Contohnya hutang kita Rm3,000 , sedekahkan sekurang- kurangnya Rm300. 

(3) Jaga solat selalu agar tepat pada waktu dan ditambah ibadah sunnah seperti puasa, solat tahajud, solat Dhuha dan sunnah sunnah yang lain. 

Logik Sedekah 10% Dari Hutang Ialah : 

Tentu kita tahu dan faham konsep Matematik Allah yang mengatakan bahawa 10-1= 19 bukan? (ada dalam buku Mudahnya Menjemput Rezeki , muka surat 112). Sebab Matematik ini berlandaskan pada konsep pembalasan yang Allah beri secara istimewa. 

Allah telah berjanji untuk balas sedekah kita 10 kali ganda. Apa- apa pun itu di mana intinya adalah sedekah, maka ia pasti dibalas. Ingat, 10 kali ganda. 

"Ustaz Yusuf Mansur pernah masuk penjara kerana perniagaannya muflis (tidak pasti, namun yang pastinya memang pernah masuk penjara) dan beliau mendapat Hidayah- Nya semasa berada di dalam penjara. Alhamdulillah. 

Pada mulanya Ustaz Yusuf Mansur cari anak yatim untuk dibayarkan yuran sekolahnya. Beliau tetap berusaha untuk sedekah 10% dari hutang-hutangnya walaupun masa itu tiada wang. Beliau berusaha dengan menulis buku, mengajar , menjual peti sampai bisnes MLM pun dibuat. Dan sedekah terdahsyatnya adalah dari penerbitan buku. 

Sungguh Allah Maha Penolong, kini Ustaz Yusuf Mansur dari banyak hutang menjadi banyak wang! Perniagaannya ada di mana- mana. Subhanallah! 

Sepintas lalu baca dan lihat, nampak macam mudah kan. Namun bagi orang yang tidak yakin dengan ilmu sedekah, ini akan terasa amat berat. Yalah, ada hutang Rm30,000. Yang kena disedekahkan Rm3,000 dengan situasi duit yang belum ada. 

Jika begini, Ustaz Yusuf Mansur selalunya sarankan jual sahaja apa yang ada dulu. Motor , peti ais, telefon dan lain- lain lagi untuk usahakan dapat 10% sedekah itu. 

Ada juga yang rasa khuatir, , "Betul ke ni? Jangan- jangan sedekah saya nanti Allah tak balas. Jangan- jangan sedekah saya tak 'berpengaruh' macam orang lain dengan hutang- hutang saya ni dan juga rasa khuatir lainlah yang bermacam- macam". 

Aduhai , Allah itu kan Maha Membalas! Yakinlah. 

Ada juga orang yang bersedekah di balas terus, ada yang dalam tiga hari terus dibalas Allah, namun ada juga yang satu minggu, satu bulan, bahkan setahun tidak juga merasakan balasan dari sedekahnya. 

Kata Ustaz Yusuf Mansur , "Ya, balasan sedekah tidak selalu berbentuk wang. Kerana sedekah bisa menyelamatkan kita dari bala bencana, memanjangkan umur dan menyembuhkan penyakit. Seharusnya memang kita tidak usah khuatir akan janji- janji Allah".

Kerana Allah berfirman dalam Surah Al- Baqarah, ayat 261 :

"Perumpamaan (nafkah yang dikeluarkan oleh) orang- orang yang menafkahkan hartanya di jalan Allah adalah serupa dengan sebutir benih yang menumbuhkan tujuh butir, pada tiap- tiap butir seratus biji. Allah melipat gandakan (ganjaran) bagi siapa yang Dia kehendaki. Dan Allah Maha Luas (kurnia- Nya) lagi Maha Mengetahui" . 

Andai nak sedekah untuk dilangsaikan hutang, niatlah supaya Allah bantu untuk langsaikan hutang yagn ada itu dengan bersungguh- sungguh dan tawakal. Kalau bahas ilmu sedekah memang takkan habis. Boleh baca buku- buku atau tonton video Ustaz Yusuf Mansur untuk penerangan lanjut. 

Sedekah 10% ni bukan saja untuk langsaikan hutang. Sedekah juga boleh digunakan untuk dapatkan sesuatu seperti kereta , telefon dan lain- lain. 

"Mohon sahaja kepada Allah . In Sha Allah". (Nadiah Azman)

Konsep Ustaz Mansur tu macam ni , Ada orang tak berapa faham, itu cuma kiraan matematik Ustaz Mansur berdasarkan konsep sedekah yang mana sedekah sekali Allah balas 10 kali ganda. Sebab tu, kalau nak selesaikan hutang buat 10% daripada jumlah hutang. In Sha Allah hutang tu habis ikut konsep sedekah 1=10 kali balas. Gitu. 

Contoh hutang ada Rm3,000 . Kalau nak habiskan hutang, kenalah keluarkan Rm300 sekali sedekah untuk langsaikan hutang tu ikut balasan sedekah 10 kali ganda dari jumlah sedekah. Rm300 x 10 = Rm3,000. Tapi , Allah ni Maha Baik. Tak semestinya sedekah kita tu betul- betul dia balas 10 kali ganda. Ada lebih . Ada dalam bentuk yang lain. Buatnya asbab kita sedekah tu, pemberi hutang tu nak halalkan hutang dia pada kita pun mana kita tahu kan. Macam- macam cara Allah balas. Itu cuma asas kiraan saja. 

Setelah faham perkara di atas , tanpa berlengah lagi saya jual semua apa yang saya ada. Handphone, rantai emas untuk langsaikan hutang. Inilah amalan apa yang telah saya lakukan dan ikut . Alhamdulillah, bebas hutang. 

Kemudian saya laksanakan pula formula- formula rezeki melimpah ruah pada muka surat seterusnya . Dengan izin Allah, ia mengubah hidup saya 360 darjah , fikiran, hati, emosi, pergaulan, imej dan tingkah laku dari sudut positif. Alhamdulillah, sekarang rezeki pula mengejar saya . Saya tidak mahu lagi dikelilingi hutang . Cukuplah hidup sifar hutang dari dibelenggu hutang . Kerana hutang amat berat nisabnya di akhirat kelak .

Part Eleven - The Master Key System

Letter Of Transmittal  

Your life is governed by Law - by actual, immutable principles that never vary. Law is in operation at all times; in all places. Fixed Laws underlie all human actions. For this reason, men who control giant industries are enabled to determine with absolute precision just what percentage of every hundred thousand people will respond to any given set of conditions.  

It is well, however, to remember that while every effect is the result of a cause, the effect in turn becomes a cause, which creates other effects, which in turn create still other causes; so that when you put the Law of Attraction into operation you must remember that you are starting a train of causation for good or otherwise which may have endless possibilities. 

We frequently hear it said, "A very distressing situation came into my life, which could not have been the result of my Thought, as I certainly never entertained any Thought which could have such a result". We fail to remember that like attracts like in the mental world, and that the Thought which we entertain brings to us certain friendships, companionships of a particular kind, and these in turn bring about conditions and environment, which in turn are responsible for the conditions of which we complain.  

PART ELEVEN 
  1. Inductive reasoning is the process of the Objective Mind by which we compare a number of separate instances with one another until we see the common factor that gives rise to them all. 
  2. Induction proceeds by comparison of facts; it is this method of studying nature which has resulted in the discovery of a reign of Law which has marked an epoch in human progress.  
  3. It is the dividing line between superstition and intelligence; it has eliminated the elements of uncertainty and caprice from men's lives and substituted Law, reason and certitude.  
  4. It is the "Watchman at the Gate" mentioned in a former lesson.  
  5. When, by virtue of this principle, the world to which the senses were accustomed had been revolutionized; when the sun had been arrested in his course, the apparently flat earth had been shaped into a ball and set whirling around him; when the inert matter had been resolved into active elements, and the Universe presented itself wherever we directed the telescope and microscope, full of force, motion and life; we are constrained to ask by what possible means the delicate forms of organization in the midst of it are kept in order and repair.  
  6. Like poles and like forces repel themselves or remain impenetrable to each other, and this course seems in general sufficient to assign a proper place and distance to stars, men and forces. As men of different virtues enter into partnership, so do opposite poles attract each other, elements that have no property in common like acids and gases cling to each other in preference and a general exchange is kept up between the surplus and the demand.    
  7. As the eye seeks and receives satisfaction from colors complementary to those which are given, so does need, want and desire, in the largest sense, induce, guide and determine action.  
  8. It is our privilege to become conscious of the principle and act in accordance with it. Cuvier sees a tooth belonging to an extinct race of animals. This tooth wants a body for the performance of its function, and it defines the peculiar body it stands in need of with such precision that Cuvier is able to reconstruct the frame of this animal.   
  9. Perturbations are observed in the motion of Uranus. Leverrier needs another star at a certain place to keep the solar system in order, and Neptune appears in the place and hour appointed.  
  10. The instinctive wants of the animal and the intellectual wants of Cuvier, the wants of nature and of the Mind of Leverrier were alike, and thus the results; here the Thoughts of an existence, there an existence. A well-defined lawful want, therefore, furnishes the reason for the more complex operations of nature. 
  11. Having recorded correctly the answers furnished by nature and stretched our senses with the growing science over her surface; having joined hands with the levers that move the earth; we become conscious of such a close, varied and deep contact with the World Without, that our wants and purposes become no less identified with the harmonious operations of this vast organization, than the life, liberty, and happiness of the citizen is identified with the existence of his government.   
  12. As the interests of the individual are protected by the arms of the country, added to his own; and his needs may depend upon certain supply in the degree that they are felt more universally and steadily; in the same manner does conscious citizenship in the Republic of nature secure us from the annoyances of subordinate agents by alliance with superior powers; and by appeal to the fundamental Laws of Resistance or inducement offered to mechanical or chemical agents, distribute the labor to be performed between them and man to the best advantage of the inventor.  
  13. If Plato could have witnessed the pictures executed by the sun with the assistance of the photographer, or a hundred similar illustrations of what man does by induction, he would perhaps have been reminded of the intellectual midwifery of his master and, in his own Mind might have arisen the vision of a land where all manual, mechanical labor and repetition is assigned to the power of nature, where our wants are satisfied by purely mental operations set in motion by the will, and where the supply is created by the demand.  
  14. However distant that Land may appear, induction has taught men to make strides toward it and has surrounded him with benefits which are, at the same time, rewards for past fidelity and incentives for more assiduous devotion.  
  15. It is also an aid in concentrating and strengthening our faculties for the remaining part, giving unerring solution for individual as well as universal problems, by the mere operations of Mind in the purest form.  
  16. Here we find a method, the Spirit of which is, to believe that what is sought has been accomplished, in order to accomplish it: a method, bequeathed upon us by the same Plato who, outside of this sphere, could never find how the ideas became realities.  
  17. This conception is also elaborated by Swedenborg in his doctrine of correspondences; and a still greater teacher has said, "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them". (Mark 11:24) The difference of the tenses in this passage is remarkable.  
  18. We are first to believe that our desire has already been fulfilled, its accomplishment will then follow. This is a concise direction for making use of the creative power of Thought by impressing on the Universal Subjective Mind, the particular thing which we desire as an already existing fact. 
  19. We are thus thinking on the plane of the absolute and eliminating all consideration of conditions or limitation and are planting a seed which, if left undisturbed, will finally germinate into external fruition.  
  20. To review: Inductive reasoning is the process of the Objective Mind, by which we compare a number of separate instances with one another until we see the common factor that gives rise to them all. We see people in every civilized country on the globe, securing results by some process which they do not seem to understand themselves, and to which they usually attach more or less mystery. Our reason is given to us for the purpose of ascertaining the Law by which these results are accomplished.
  21. The operation of this Thought process is seen in those fortunate natures that possess everything that others must acquire by toil, who never have a struggle with conscience because they always act correctly, and can never conduct themselves otherwise than with tact, learn everything easily, complete everything they begin with a happy knack, live in eternal harmony with themselves, without ever reflecting much what they do, or ever experiencing difficulty or toil.  
  22. The fruit of this Thought is, as it were, a gift of the Gods, but a gift which few as yet realize, appreciate, or understand. The recognition of the marvelous power which is possessed by the Mind under proper conditions and the fact that this power can be utilized, directed, and made available for the solution of every human problem is of transcendental importance.   
  23. All Truth is the same, whether stated in modern scientific terms or in the language of apostolic times. There are timid souls who fail to realize that the very completeness of Truth requires various statement - that no one human formula will show every side of it.   
  24. Changing, emphasis, new language, novel interpretations, unfamiliar perspectives, are not, as some suppose, signs of departure from Truth but on the contrary, they are evidence that the Truth is being apprehended in new relations to human needs, and is becoming more generally understood.   
  25. The Truth must be told to each generation and to every people in new and different terms, so that when the Great Teacher said - "Believe that ye receive and ye shall receive" or, when Paul said - "Faith is the substance of thing hoped for, the evidence of things not seen", or when modern science says - "The Law of Attraction is the Law by which Thought correlates with its object", each statement when subjected to analysis, is found to contain exactly the same Truth. The only difference being in the form of presentation.  
  26. We are standing on the threshold of a new era. The time has arrived when man has learned the secrets of mastery and the way is being prepared for a new social order, more wonderful than anything every heretofore dreamed of. The conflict of modern science with theology, the study of comparative religions, the tremendous power of new social movements, all of these are but clearing the way for the new order. They may have destroyed traditional forms which have become antiquated and impotent, but nothing of value has been lost.  
  27. A new faith has been born, a faith which demands a new form of expression, and this faith is taking form in a deep consciousness of power which is being manifested, in the present Spiritual activity found on every hand. 
  28. The Spirit which sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, moves in the animal and reaches its highest development in man is the Universal Mind, and it behooves us to span the gulf between being and doing, theory and practice, by demonstrating our understanding of the dominion which we have been given. 
  29. By far the greatest discovery of all the centuries is the power of Thought. The importance of this discovery has been a little slow in reaching the general Consciousness, but it has arrived, and already in every field of research the importance of this greatest of all great discoveries is being demonstrated. 
  30. You ask in what does the creative power of Thought consist? It consists in creating ideas, and these in turn objectify themselves by appropriating, inventing, observing, discerning, discovering, analyzing, ruling, governing, combining, and applying matter and force. It can do this because it is an intelligent creative power. 
  31. Thought reaches its loftiest activity when plunged into its own mysterious depth; when it breaks through the narrow compass of Self and passes from Truth to Truth to the region of eternal light, where all which is, was or ever will be, melt into one grand harmony. 
  32. From this process of Self contemplation comes inspiration which is creative intelligence, and which is undeniably superior to every element, force or Law of Nature, because it can understand, modify, govern and apply them to its own ends and purposes and therefore possess them. 
  33. Wisdom begins with the dawn of reason, and reason is but an understanding of the knowledge and principles whereby we may know the true meaning of things. Wisdom, then, is illuminated reason, and this wisdom leads to humility, for humility is a large part of Wisdom.  
  34. We all know many who have achieved the seemingly impossible, who have realized life-long dreams, who have changed everything including themselves. We have sometimes marveled at the demonstration of an apparently irresistible power, which seemed to be ever available just when it was most needed, but it is all clear now. All that is required is an understanding of certain definite fundamental principles and their proper application.  
  35. For your exercise this week, concentrate on the quotation taken from the Bible, "Whatsoever things ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them"; notice that there is no limitation, "Whatsoever things" is very definite and implies that the only limitation which is placed upon us in our ability to think, to be equal to the occasion, to rise to the emergency, to remember that Faith is not a shadow, but a substance, "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".

Part Twenty Four - The Master Key System

Enclosed you will find Part Twenty Four, your final lesson of this course.  

If you have practiced each of the exercises a few minutes every day, as suggested, you will have found that you can get out of life exactly what you wish by first putting into life that which you wish, and you will probably agree with the student who said: "The Thought is almost overwhelming, so vast, so available, so definite, so reasonable and so usable".   


The fruit of this knowledge is, as it were, a gift of the Gods; it is the "Truth" that makes men free, not only free from every lack and limitation, but free from sorrow, worry and care, and, it is not wonderful to realize that this Law is no respecter of persons, that it makes no difference what your habit of Thought may be, the way has been prepared. 


If you are inclined to be religious, the greatest religious teacher the world has ever known made the way so plain that all may follow. If your mental bias is toward physical science, the Law will operate with mathematical certainty. If you are inclined to be philosophical, Plato or Emerson may be your teacher, but in either case, you may reach degrees of power to which it is impossible to assign any limit.  

An understanding of this principle, I believe, is the secret for which the ancient Alchemists vainly sought, because it explains how gold in the Mind may be transmuted into gold in the heart and in the hand.   

PART TWENTY-FOUR:- 
  1. When the scientists first put the Sun in the center of the Solar System and sent the earth spinning around it, there was immense surprise and consternation. The whole idea was self-evidently false; nothing was more certain than the movement of the Sun across the sky, and anyone could see it descend behind the western hills and sink into the sea; scholars raged and scientists rejected the idea as absurd, yet the evidence has finally carried conviction in the Minds of all.  
  2. We speak of a bell as a "sounding body", yet we know that all the bell can do is to produce vibrations in the air. When these vibrations come at the rate of sixteen per second, they cause a sound to be heard in the Mind. It is also possible for the Mind to hear vibrations up to the rate of 38,000 vibrations per second. When the number increases beyond this, all is silence again; so that we know that the sound is not in the bell, it is in our own Mind.   
  3. We speak and even think of the Sun as "giving light". Yet we know it is simply giving forth energy which produces vibrations in the ether at the rate of four hundred trillion a second, causing what are termed light waves, so that we know we call light is simply a form of energy and that the only light there is, is the sensation caused in the Mind by the motion of the waves. When the number increases, the light changes in color, each change in color being caused by shorter and more rapid vibrations, so that although we speak of the rose as being red, the grass as being green, or the sky as being blue, we know that the colors exist only in our Minds, and are the sensations experienced by us as the result of the vibrations of light waves. When the vibrations are reduced below four hundred trillion a second, they no longer affect us as light, but we experience the sensation of heat. It is evident, therefore, that we cannot depend upon the evidence of the senses for our information concerning the realities of things; if we did we should believe that the sun moved, that the world was flat instead of round, that the stars were bits of light instead of vast suns.  
  4. The whole range then of the theory and practice of any system of metaphysics consists in knowing the Truth concerning yourself and the world in which you live; in knowing that in order to express harmony, you must think harmony; in order to express health you must think health; and in order to express abundance you must think abundance; to do this you must reverse the evidence of the senses.   
  5. When you come to know that every form of disease, sickness, lack and limitation are simply the result of wrong thinking, you will have come to know "the Truth which shall make you free". You will see how mountains may be removed. If these mountains consist only of doubt, fear, distrust or other forms of discouragement, they are none the less real, and they need not only to be removed but to be "cast into the sea".  
  6. Your real work consists in convincing yourself of the Truth of these statements. When you have succeeded in doing this you will have no difficulty in thinking the Truth, and as has been shown, the Truth contains a vital principle and will manifest itself.  
  7. Those who heal diseases by mental methods have come to know this Truth, they demonstrate it in their lives and the lives of others daily. They know that life, health and abundance are Omnipresent, filling all space, and they know that those who allow disease or lack of any kind to manifest, have as yet not come into an understanding of this great Law.   
  8. As all conditions are Thought creations and therefore entirely mental, disease and lack are simply mental conditions in which the person fails to perceive the Truth; as soon as the error is removed, the condition is removed.  
  9. The method for removing this error is to go into the Silence and know the Truth; as all Mind is one Mind, you can do this for yourself or anyone else. If you have learned to form mental images of the conditions desired, this will be the easiest and quickest way to secure results; if not, results can be accomplished by argument, by the process of convincing yourself absolutely of the Truth of your statement.  
  10. Remember, and this is one of the most difficult as well as most wonderful statements to grasp....remember that no matter what the difficulty is, no matter where it is, no matter who is affected, you have no patient but yourself; you have nothing to do but to convince yourself of the Truth which you desire to see manifested.   
  11. This is an exact scientific statement in accordance with every system of Metaphysics in existence, and no permanent results are ever secured in any other way.  
  12. Every form of concentration, forming Mental Images, Argument, and Autosuggestion are all simply methods by which you are enabled to realize the Truth.   
  13. If you desire to help someone, to destroy some form of lack, limitation or error, the correct method is not to think of the person whom you wish to help; the intention to help them is entirely sufficient, as this puts you in mental touch with the person. Then drive out of your own Mind any belief of lack, limitation, disease, danger, difficulty or whatever the trouble might be. As soon as you have succeeded in doing this the result will have been accomplished, and the person will be free.  
  14. But remember that Thought is creative and consequently every time you allow your Thought to rest on any inharmonious condition, you must realize that such conditions are apparent only, they have no reality, that Spirit is the only reality and it can never be less than perfect.  
  15. All Thought is a form of energy, a rate of vibration, but a Thought of the Truth is the highest rate of vibration known and consequently destroys every form of error in exactly the same way that light destroys darkness; no form of error can exist when the "Truth" appears, so that your entire mental work consists in coming into an understanding of the Truth. This will enable you to overcome every form of lack, limitation or disease of any kind.   
  16. We can get no understanding of the Truth from the World Without; the World Without is relative only; Truth is absolute. We must therefore find it in the "World Within".   
  17. To train the Mind to see Truth only is to express true conditions only, our ability to do this will be an indication as to the progress we are making.   
  18. The absolute Truth is that the "I" is perfect and complete; the real "I" is Spiritual and can therefore never be less than perfect; it can never have any lack, limitation or disease. The flash of genius does not have origin in the molecular motion of the Brain; it is inspired by the ego, the Spiritual "I" which is one with the Universal Mind, and it is our ability to recognize this Unity which is the cause of all inspiration, all genius. These results are far reaching and have effect upon generations yet to come; they are the pillars of fire which mark the path that millions follow.  
  19. Truth is not the result of logical training or of experimentation, or even of observation; it is the product of a developed Consciousness. Truth within a Caesar, manifests in a Caesar's deportment, in his life and his action; his influence upon social forms and progress. Your life and your actions and your influence in the world will depend upon the degree of Truth which you are enabled to perceive, for Truth will not manifest in creeds, but in conduct.   
  20. Truth manifests in character, and the character of a man, should be the interpretation of his religion, or what to him is Truth, and this will in turn be evidenced in the character of his possession. If a man complains of the drifts of his fortune he is just as unjust to himself as if he should deny rational Truth, though it stand patent and irrefutable.  
  21. Our environment and the innumerable circumstances and accidents of our lives already exist in the Subconscious personality which attracts to itself the mental and physical material which is congenial to its nature. Thus our future being determined from our present, and if there should be apparent injustice in any feature or phase of our personal life, we must look within for the cause, try to discover the mental fact which is responsible for the outward manifestation.   
  22. It is this Truth which makes you "free" and it is the conscious knowledge of this Truth which will enable you to overcome every difficulty.  
  23. The conditions with which you meet in the World Without are invariably the result of the conditions obtaining in the World Within, therefore it follows with scientific accuracy that by holding the perfect ideal in Mind you can bring about ideal conditions in your environment.  
  24. If you see only the incomplete, the imperfect, the relative, the limited, these conditions will manifest in your life; but if you train your Mind to see and realize the Spiritual ego; the "I" which is forever perfect and complete, harmonious, wholesome, and healthful conditions only will be manifested.  
  25. As Thought is creative, and the Truth is the highest and most perfect Thought which anyone can think, it is self-evident that to think the Truth is to create that which is true and it is again evident that when Truth comes into Being that which is false must cease to be. 
  26. The Universal Mind is the totality of all Mind which is in existence. Spirit is Mind, because Spirit is intelligent. The words are, therefore, synonymous.  
  27. The difficulty with which you have to contend is to realize that Mind is not individual. It is Omnipresent. It exists everywhere. In other words, there is no place where it is not. It is, therefore, Universal.  
  28. Men have, heretofore, generally used the word "God" to indicate this Universal, creative principle; but the word "God" does not convey the right meaning. Most people understand this word to mean something outside of themselves; while exactly the contrary is the fact. It is our very life. Without it we would be dead. We would cease to exist. The minute the Spirit leaves the body, we are as nothing. Therefore, Spirit is really, all there is of us.  
  29. Now, the only activity which the Spirit possesses is the power to think. Therefore, Thought must be creative, because Spirit is creative. This creative power is impersonal and your ability to think is your ability to control it and make use of it for the benefit of yourself and others.  
  30. When the Truth of this statement is realized, understood, and appreciated, you will have come into possession of the Master-Key, but remember that only those who are wise enough to understand, broad enough to weigh the evidence, firm enough to follow their own judgment, and strong enough to make the sacrifice exacted, may enter and partake.  
  31. This week, try to realize that this is truly a wonderful world in which we live, that you are a wonderful Being that many are awakening to a knowledge of the Truth, and as fast as they awake and come into a knowledge of the "things which have been prepared for them", they too, realize that "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man", the splendors which exist for those who find themselves in the Promised Land. They have crossed the river of judgment and have arrived at the point of discrimination between the true and the false, and have found that all they ever willed or dreamed, was but a faint concept of the dazzling reality.  

Though An Inheritance Of Acres May Be Bequeathed, An Inheritance Of Knowledge And Wisdom Cannot. The Wealthy Man May Pay Others For Doing His Work For Him, But It Is Impossible To Get His Thinking Done For Him By Another Or To Purchase Any Kind Of Self-Culture. 
- S. Smiles

Temples Have Their Sacred Images, And We See What Influence They Have Always Had Over A Great Part Of Mankind; But, In Truth, The Ideas And Images In Men's Minds Are The Invisible Powers That Constantly Govern Them; And To These They All Pay Universally A Ready Submission.

The Use Of Spiritual Power


We must eliminate the idea that the metaphysical process requires hard work and strenuous effort on our part. We must also eliminate the idea that the cure is performed by the exercise of personal power. The higher Spiritual forces coming into personal expression perform all of this work; but our personal selves do not produce those forces; neither will hard personal work bring them into evidence. It is the consciousness of the Spiritual side of life that produces true emancipation and the absolute health and wholeness we have in view; and this is natural because the Spiritual alone contains absolute wholeness. That which is not health and wholeness cannot produce health and wholeness, but since Spirit is health and wholeness, perfect health and wholeness must manifest wherever the power of the Spiritual is expressed.  

It can truthfully be said that the Spirit is at hand waiting at the gate of every Mind. All that is required of us is to open, and the Spirit will come in, filling the entire mansion of man with its peace, its power, its healing and its light. But to open the door for the Spirit to enter does not require hard work, agonizing prayers, nor efforts that tear both Mind and body, as so many of our personal efforts do. To place ourselves in the consciousness of the Spiritual attitude is the secret of the highest and the most perfect form of healing, and when we place ourselves in that attitude we shall find that peace, health, freedom and power will inevitably come; because the Spirit is peace, the Spirit is health, the Spirit is freedom, and the Spirit is power.  

When you are in the Spirit of health you cannot be sick; and to be in the real life of the Spirit is to be in the Spirit of health, because Spirit is health. When you are in freedom you cannot be in bondage; and to be in the Spirit is to be in freedom, because everything that is in the Spirit must necessarily enjoy absolute freedom.  

When we try to help others with these higher powers, we frequently begin as if it were hard work.  

We think that we have to do this personally. We forget that it is the Spirit and the Spirit alone that has the real power. Our work is to place the matter in the hands of Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Power, Infinite Love; and we do this, not through hard personal efforts, but through pure Spiritual faith.  

It is not the will of the Infinite that any one should suffer pain or distress of any kind, but it is the will of the Infinite that all should be in the perfect freedom of Spirit and Truth. It is the will of the Infinite that everybody should be well now; therefore, whoever is placed in the hands of the Infinite now will be healed this very hour.  

In this connection we may ask if we are not already in God's care, since we live and move and have our Being in His Spirit; and what more, then, can we do to place ourselves in His hands? To answer this question, we will simply say that we are in the Spirit of the Infinite now, but we do not all know it; and we must know the Truth before the Truth can make us free. To place ourselves in the hands of the Supreme, is to enter consciously into Divine presence, so that we do not simply believe in God, but also feel the life and the power of His Spirit in every fiber of our Being. Where the Spirit is felt, there peace, health and power will also be felt, because where the Spirit is felt, there the Spirit is; and where the Spirit is, there peace and power are also. When you enter the Spirit you feel what you desire to have done is being done, and it is being done by a power that can do all things.  

When you actually and sincerely believe that healing and emancipation is taking place in your system, you open the door for the Spirit to enter; and when the Spirit comes in, the Spirit will do at once whatever we desire to have done. While the Spirit is at work, we are simply to be silent and receive, that the power of the Spirit may take full possession and make us every whit whole.  

Whatever we desire the power of the Spirit to do, that the Spirit will now proceed to do, provided we do not interfere; but we do interfere with that work whenever we think about it, or whenever we become strenuous, trying to push the power.  

To leave all things in the hands of the Supreme is to leave all things in those hands that will do things right, and that will do just what is best for us. What the Supreme thinks is best for us will give us far more good than anything that we could have planned for ourselves. And here we should remember that the Supreme does not think it is best for us to be sick or in trouble. God thinks it is best for us to be as He is, and He knows neither sickness, nor pain, nor sorrow. Therefore, when you place yourself absolutely in Divine hands, you will positively regain perfect health and wholeness. 

Many a parent thinks, "If I place my sick child in the hands of God and ask His will to be done, He may desire to take my child away"; but do not believe this for a moment. God wants you to have your child. He does not wish to give you sorrow; and if you are perfectly willing, He will heal your child so that both your child and your joy may remain. But you must be perfectly willing and have no doubt. We all have the privilege to live our own lives so that not even the Infinite will interfere with our individuality; and in order to enjoy this privilege it is necessary that we remain here for a long time and continue in health and freedom during that entire period. 

In this connection, we should remember that we do not have to leave the body in order to go to God. God does not have to take us out of the body to take us to Himself, because He is everywhere. 

We may go to God and be with Him absolutely and completely while still living in the visible form. When we understand this, we realize how absurd it is to believe that God wants to take us away from our grieving friends in order to have us to Himself. The Truth is, God does not wish to deprive any one of anything, and His way will never give sorrow to a living creature.  

The Infinite is radiant with supreme joy, and it is His will that we should be as He is; but as we are individualized Beings, we of course have our own will in all these matters. Nevertheless, the sooner we combine our will with Infinite will, the sooner we shall have freedom and gain possession of the highest and best that life can give. When we take this step, we soon discover that the ways of pleasantness and the paths of peace are found only when we place ourselves unreservedly in His hands, and open the door for the Spirit to come in and make all things right.  

To clearly discern this conception of the Infinite is of extreme importance if we would heal with the power of the Spirit, because the more completely we enter the Spirit, the greater is the power of the Spirit in us; and when the Spirit is strong in us, then it is that we reach that state where our prayers are extremely beneficial. Every word of Truth that we speak while in this power has healing on its wings; and every just desire that we may express at such times will surely be fulfilled.   

When the Spiritual physician is confronted with threatening failure, there is a tendency to become anxious, and the belief that harder work is required will almost invariably arise; but such beliefs should be put away at once. It is not harder work on our part that is required; it is more faith in the power of the Spirit that should be sought; and that faith is never disturbed by appearances, but remains beautifully calm, because it knows.  

It is the power of the Spirit that gives health and emancipation. We are the instruments through which that power is to find expression, therefore we should place ourselves in that high, silent, Spiritual state through which the unbounded power of the Spirit may find full and free expression. 

Our anxiety is always a hindrance. Our intense personal effort takes us out of the hands of the Spirit, and we cease to be instruments of its power. In this way failure is usually the result, though remarkable demonstrations of healing could easily have been attained. When we know that the power of the Spirit is always at hand, always ready to do anything that we may wish to have done; when we know that the power of the Spirit is limitless and can do all things; and when we know that it is the will of God that all should be healed now, what have we to fear or to be anxious about? What more do we need than this sublime Truth to give us unbounded faith? And as our faith is, so shall it be; therefore when our faith is unbounded every prayer will be answered, every desire will be fulfilled.  

When we are in this perfect faith we find the real secret. We discover that it is the power of the Spirit that heals; that the Spirit will heal whenever we enter into the Spirit; and that we enter into the Spirit whenever we pass through the door of pure Spiritual faith and place ourselves absolutely in the hands of Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Power, Infinite Love.  

To become a good Spiritual physician, or to apply the Spiritual powers within us in gaining and maintaining health, there are several fundamental essentials to which we should give our fullest attention. These are peace, love, faith, Spiritual consciousness, and the understanding of Truth. To cultivate these five essentials to the very highest possible degree, is to gain possession of that something within us that will not only give us the power to realize and express the power of the Spirit, but will also give us the power to help others in the same way. 

The necessity of perfect peace is evident, because without such a peace we cannot enter into the deeper realization of Truth and life. The disturbed Mind dwells on the surface and has little or no knowledge of absolute reality, therefore cannot understand that something within that is perfect and well at all times. What we realize in the within we express in the without. For this reason, everything that is necessary to our realization of the perfect health within must be fully supplied; and peace is one of these essentials. 

A metaphysical treatment should never begin until we have become absolutely still in Mind and Thought, though this stillness must not simply be a passive stillness. It must be a state wherein you feel very still and very strong. When you feel that the power within is awakened in peace, you are ready to begin. During the treatment, the same peaceful attitude should be maintained, and the feeling of a strong calm should permeate all Thought and effort. 

The attitude of real peace is one that can be cultivated to a very high degree, because it does not consist in simply being quiet. It is a living peace, and since life is boundless this living peace can be deepened, and deepened for an indefinite period; and the greater the peace the greater the power when the power is surely awakened, because to enter that peace that is a living peace is to enter the higher life and the greater power of the Spirit. 

Before we can help anyone through Spiritual and metaphysical means, we must realize a Spiritual oneness between ourselves and those whom we desire to help. We must enter their world, so to speak, and must feel that we are in perfect touch with their inner and true selves. We must be able to Spiritually touch the perfect life within them before we can awaken that life, and it is the awakening of that life that we have in view. The perfect life within is health and wholeness, therefore when the inner life, the life more abundant, takes possession of the person, every phase of sickness or pain must vanish.  

To enter into Spiritual oneness with another Mind, or to produce perfect oneness between the outer life and the inner life in ourselves, love is the secret, because love is Spiritual unity. No one can heal to any extent, or realize the power of the Spirit in himself, unless he loves much; loves everybody, and loves with the whole heart and soul. But in this connection we must remember that pure Spiritual love is not in any way related to ordinary sympathy. Ordinary sympathy sympathizes with sickness and distress, and enters into the world of discord and pain, thereby making evil more real than it previously seemed to be. This, however, is never done through real Spiritual love. This love sympathizes with the Divine in man, and this makes the Divine seem more real and far stronger than it ever seemed before. The result is that the true and the perfect side of man is recognized and accepted as real. 

When man recognizes the Divinity within, he admits Divine qualities into his consciousness; and whatever is admitted into consciousness is expressed in the person. Consequently, by recognizing the Divine that is within us, all that is true, all that is real, all that is wholesome, and all that is perfect in the soul of man will be brought forth into actual, tangible expression. The new life thus enters the body, and as this new life is health, all disease must vanish. When health comes, disease is no more; and health does come whenever the inner life is awakened and expressed. 

The mission of true Spiritual love is therefore very high, and what is more, it is indispensable to this great work. You cannot heal any one without entering into a Spiritual unity with that one's soul life; and this unity is attained only through pure Spiritual love. The love that we speak of is impersonal, a love that can love every creature without effort, and regardless of appearance or present conditions of life. The person, therefore, who has such a love, is a perpetual benediction to everybody, and could heal at any time by simply wishing to do so.  

The necessity of faith in this connection is so evident that nothing need be said as to why we must have faith in order to heal; but a great deal could be said and should be said concerning the real meaning of faith. Faith is not a mere belief, but a gift. It is a high state of Mind that transcends all limitations and discerns the real, the perfect and the good everywhere. Faith knows that all things are possible, because it has the power to see and understand the limitless life and power that is working in man and all about man.  

Faith makes all things possible because it awakens the greater, the larger and the superior in man. No one can fail who has faith, because faith gives to the Mind all the wisdom and all the power that is necessary to realize the object in view. Faith has constantly greater things in store, and keeps the Mind on the verge of higher revelations and more beautiful experiences every day. To have faith is to live on the heights, and to constantly ascend to greater heights. When faith comes, all despair; all discouragement and all disappointments disappear for all time. No dark conditions can remain after faith has taken possession, because faith positively proves to the Mind that all things are possible, that we can accomplish what we have undertaken, that destiny is in our own hands, and that the future is just as bright as we may desire to make it. 

In metaphysical and Spiritual healing, faith is not disturbed about threatening symptoms, because it knows that there is a power at hand that can put to flight all kinds of symptoms and diseases at once. In this conviction faith works, consequently it cannot fail. Faith sees the real man and knows that the real man is well, therefore there is nothing to fear, nothing to cause anxiety or unrest. What we inwardly know, that we become conscious of; and what we become conscious of, that we express in Mind and body. Therefore, to know that the real man is well, is to bring the health and the power of the real man into the personal man; and since faith does know that the real man is well, anyone who has faith will accordingly be healed through faith.  

Spiritual consciousness is the consciousness of the soul, the Divine in man, or that which is created in the image of God. The value of this consciousness, not only in the work of healing and emancipation, but in all important or higher attainments, as well as the further development of man, becomes very evident when we realize that it is only those things that we become conscious of that find expression through us.  

The great truth that man is created in the image and likeness of the Infinite, is the foundation of pure Spiritual metaphysics; and from this great truth we conclude that man is in reality what God is. Not that man is equal with God, because God is infinite while man is individualized; but the same attributes and qualities that exist in the Infinite exist also in man - the real man. To be conscious of the real man, and to know and feel that you yourself are the real man, is to have Spiritual consciousness. 

You are spiritually conscious when you know that you are a Spiritual Being. Many people believe that they have souls; others believe that they are souls; but this is not sufficient. You should actually feel that you are a soul; and this feeling should be based upon actual conscious realization. When you know that you are a Spiritual Being; when you know that you are created in the likeness of God; when you know that you are living in a Spiritual world; when you know that you are one with the Infinite, and that you are in your real Being perfect, good, true and absolutely whole, as God is, then you have attained Spiritual consciousness. This consciousness is not mere intellect, but a realization that is felt and known without the aid of ordinary intellectual processes. It is not something that is arrived at through logical reason, but comes as a special illumination to the Mind that has been developed up to that necessary state. 

When you become fully conscious of your Spiritual nature, you enter into the wholeness, the life, the peace and the power of the Mind. You no longer live in conditions of discord, sickness, weakness or confusion. You have entered the perfect world which permeates everything, and have appropriated all the high states of the perfect world. To believe in the Spirit, and to be conscious of the Spirit, are two wholly different states of Mind. Many depend upon the former, and depend in vain. It is the latter that we must secure. 

To be conscious of the Spirit is to be in the Spirit; and to be in the Spirit is to be in peace, health and power, because the Spirit is peace, health and power. When you attain Spiritual consciousness, you know that you are one with the Infinite, and to know this is surely the greatest thing in the world. To know that you live, and move, and have your Being in the Supreme; that you are so near to God that God is closer than breathing; to know that you are inseparable from God; and that you shall never, never be separated from His life or presence, but continue to be one with Him through all eternity - to know this is to know that which is greater than all other things in the world. It is a Thought too beautiful for tongue to ever describe, and many believe this Thought because it is so beautiful; but when you enter Spiritual consciousness you will absolutely know that this Thought is the Truth; and that realization alone should be sufficient to inspire every Mind to seek the Spiritual heights this very day. 

The value of Spiritual consciousness in healing is found in its power to illuminate the Mind with the light of real Truth, and thus reveal man to himself. The average man looks upon the body and calls that himself. He looks upon the beliefs and the opinions that he has inherited and calls them his light and his understanding. The result is the blind leading the blind, mental illusions and false beliefs creating more illusions and false beliefs, and thus perpetuating discord, sickness and failure.  

When Spiritual consciousness comes, man discovers that he is not the body or the Mind, but that he is an eternal soul, a Spiritual Being, the exact likeness of the Infinite. He discovers that he is neither sick, nor weak, nor depraved, but that he has in the reality of his Being the purity of God, the health of God, the power of God, the light of God. He finds that though he is manifesting himself in a visible Universe, he is actually living in a Spiritual Universe; and he learns that this Spiritual Universe is the kingdom of heaven that is within everybody and within everything. In other words, it is God's own true world, where all is well - always well.  

When man discovers that he is actually living now in a Spiritual world where everything is perfect and absolutely good, he realizes that everything must be well with him; and this is the Truth that can make him free. When man becomes conscious of the great Truth that all is well with him now because he is the image of God, and is living in God's world, where all is well, the counteracting evidences of the senses must be dealt with. The real and the seeming frequently contradict each other. At any rate, they seem to do so; and to establish perfect peace throughout the system, harmony between the without and the within must be secured.  

This requires a clear understanding of Truth, both Spiritual and intellectual, because what is true to Spiritual consciousness must be true to objective reason; and it will be true to objective reason when the Mind can see Truth so clearly that a perfect and immediate discrimination between the true and the false is made possible. When we see the Truth clearly, the light of Truth so fills the Mind that there is no room for darkness. Even reason becomes illumined, accepting conclusively what the Spirit has to reveal. 

One of the greatest essentials in securing emancipation for the personal man is to be able to prove to the senses and the outer Mind that the real man is well, because as soon as the outer man receives this Truth there will be nothing to perpetuate disease. Disease and discord can live in the human system only so long as we continue to recognize their existence. Disease does not exist by itself or from itself. It is an effect; and the underlying cause of disease is the belief that man is a material Being, subject to all kinds of ills. 

Therefore, when it is demonstrated through the intellect, and to every phase of consciousness, that man is a Spiritual Being, and that he is always absolutely well, the outer Mind will no longer create false beliefs; and when false beliefs cease to be, the effect of false belief, that is, disease, must also cease to be.   

False beliefs, created by the outer Mind, are the causes of the conditions of disease that fill the body; consequently, when the outer Mind discerns the Truth, that the real man is well, false beliefs about man will no longer be created. The result is that the cause of disease is taken away, and therefore the disease itself must of necessity disappear also. 

It has been said that the senses must be blinded if we are to see pure Spiritual Truth, and that reason must be held in abeyance when we try to comprehend the reality of the Spirit; but this is not true. The physical senses can be trained to work in harmony with the Spiritual senses and reason can be educated to corroborate the revelations of Spiritual consciousness.  

The Universe is one with many parts but within each part we find Spirit; - pure, perfect, eternal Spirit. The Being of man is one with many parts and all parts are necessary to each other, and each part has a Spiritual basis. When all the faculties of man are trained to function properly, they will all work together to demonstrate the one Truth. The Spiritual faculties will recognize the physical side of all things, and the physical faculties will be able to demonstrate the reality of the Spiritual side of all things. This is the true harmony of Being, when all parts of being work together for the larger life and the greater good. 

The senses should not work against the Spirit; neither should we imagine that the senses are nothing in the eyes of the Spirit. When the senses refuse to recognize the Spirit they are not properly trained; and that reason that cannot logically demonstrate the existence of the Spirit lacks true cultivation. 

In the understanding of the Truth, therefore, three things are implied: First, to know the real, that which is eternal and absolutely perfect; second, to know the nature and the exact purpose of the temporal; and third, to know the Law through which the within and the without may work as one for the greater good of man. 

To combine these three essentials in the understanding of Truth may seem to be an undertaking too large for the average Mind; but it is very simple, and when it is accomplished, man's entire world is illumined. Everything becomes clear, for he can see things as they are. To see things as they are in themselves is to know the Truth; and to know the Truth is to gain freedom, harmony, health and peace.  

To simplify the understanding of Truth we should base all Thought upon the statement that man is a Spiritual Being, created in the likeness of the Infinite, and that every part of the Mind and body of man is created for the purpose of perpetually unfolding the Divine qualities and attributes that are inherent in the Spirit of man. By realizing that man himself is perfect, absolutely good, and every way whole, all Thought will be the Thought of Truth, and will produce only true conditions in the life of man.  

By trying to unite all the senses and faculties, physical and Spiritual, upon the one purpose of building a larger life, complete harmony will be established throughout the human entity, and the within and the without will become as one. The result will not only be perfect health and wholeness to body and Mind, but also the unfolding of a greater and more beautiful soul.
