How to Obtain Our Own

What is "Our Own"? "Our Own" is just what we create for ourselves. There is nothing higher for us than the things we know, but there are always increasing grades of knowing. —Julia Seton Sears, M.D.

 In the degree that the God life, with its attendant wisdom and power, dwells in us through our opening the way, in that degree do our latent possibilities change to actualized power. In other words, we determine our own limitations. In the degree that we come into the knowledge of our real selves our limitations rise and we come thereby into actual possession of our own. —Ralph Waldo Trine.

 The cause of whatever comes to you in life is within you. There is where it is created. The thing you long for and work for comes to you because your thought has created it; because there is something inside you that attracts it. It comes because there is an affinity within you for it. Your own comes to you; is always seeking you. —Orison Swett Marden.

What one thinks most about, he either becomes or grows like, and it is the tendency and function of the physical organism to mirror it forth. Let us, then, train our minds to focalize themselves upon those qualities and things that we wish to manifest, rather than upon what we would like to avoid. —Henry Wood.

There is a divine sequence running throughout the universe. Within and above and below the human will incessantly works the Divine will. To come into harmony with it, and thereby with all the higher laws and forces, is to come into possession of unknown riches, into the realization of undreamed-of powers. —Ralph Waldo Trine.

We build our future, thought by thought, Or good or bad, and know it not— Yet so the universe is wrought. Thought is another name for fate, Choose, then, thy destiny, and wait— For love brings love, and hate brings hate. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Your ideal is like a silver vase, always pure silver, but tarnished with false impressions; so all we have to do is to remove the tarnish by affirming and seeing the bright, shining reality. So, do you not see that you are not to produce something— only come to your own ? Remember "Whatsoever you desire" is already yours and "Nothing shall be impossible to you." —Frances Larimer Warner.
