How do we bridge the difference between knowing a spiritual truth and actually living it?

 

English novelist Marie Corelli(1855 – 1924) stated, in “Life Everlasting (1911)”:

“Nothing in the universe can resist the force of a steadfastly fixed resolve. What the spirit truly seeks must, by eternal law, be given to it, and what the body needs for the fulfillment of the spirit‟s demands will be bestowed. From the sunlight and the air and the hidden things of space, strength shall be daily and hourly renewed. Everything in nature shall aid in bringing to the resolved soul that which it demands. There is nothing within the circle of creation that can resist its influence. Success, wealth, triumph upon triumph come to every human being who daily „sets his house in order‟--whom no malice can shake, no derision drive from his determined goal, whom no temptation can drag from his appointed course, and who is proof against spite and calumny.”

·         We have the power through the mind and the will, directed by the soul, to accomplish or to be whatever we desire.

·         How may the habit of Wrong Thinking be changed and the habit of Right Thinking be most quickly effected?
Answer:
By reversing every thought that is unlike God.

·         You are, in a word, what you think you are.

·         Religion is the method by which is effected a conscious union of the soul with God. The office of religion is to bind us to God.
Therefore we are not to think of religion in terms of external forms or theologized beliefs shaped into creeds, but in terms of conscious union with God.
