1st Cause

Some people possess the power of visualization, or making mental pictures of things, in a greater degree than others, and by such this faculty may advantageously be employed to facilitate their realization of the working of the Law.

The thought-image or ideal pattern of a thing is the first cause relatively to that thing.
Primary causation is the power to initiate a train of causation directed to an individual purpose.
Conditions are never causes in themselves, but only the subsequent links of a chain.

What we have to do is to reverse our method of thinking and regard the ideal as the real, and the outward manifestation as a mere reflection which must change with every change of the object which casts it.

It is here that we find the importance of realizing spirit's independence of time and space. An ideal, as such, cannot be formed in the future. It must either be formed here and now or not be formed at all; and it is for this reason that every teacher, who has ever spoken with due knowledge of the subject, has impressed upon his followers the necessity of picturing to themselves the fulfilment of their desires as already accomplished on the spiritual plane, as the indispensable condition of fulfilment in the visible and concrete.

If the end is already secured, then it follows that all the steps leading to it are secured also. The means will pass into the smaller circle of our conscious activities day by day in due order, and then we have to work upon them, not with fear, doubt, or feverish excitement, but calmly and joyously, because we know that the end is already secured, and that our reasonable use of such means as present themselves in the desired direction is only one portion of a much larger co-ordinated movement, the final result of which admits of no doubt. Mental Science does not offer a premium to idleness, but it takes all work out of the region of anxiety and toil by assuring the worker of the success of his labour, if not in the precise form he anticipated, then in some other still better suited to his requirements.

CHURCH SERVICES TOMORROW (1917 and 1918)

I thought it might be interesting to display what to expect at services of New Thought churches in the early 1900’s.

2+2= REALITY

“If you want to get rid of your problem, then get rid of the belief that you are a personality who could have a problem.”

Excerpted from
2+2= REALITY
By William Samuel
Free Book: 2+2= Reality

Actually this book is quite clever. There are an infinite number of numbers in Arithmetic. Each number is unique (by name and value) and each numbers contributes to the whole of Arithmetic.
There are whole numbers (0,1,2,3,4,5, . . ) and fractions (3.4, 333.33).
Odd numbers (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15, . . .).
Even numbers (2,4,6,8,10,12, . . .).
Perfect squares (1,4,9,16,25,36,49)
Fibonacci numbers ( 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,. . . )
And various other subsets of numbers.
And regardless of whether it’s addition, subtraction, division, multiplication or any other operation or function, each and every number is unique and contributes to the WHOLE of Arithmetic.
Arithmetic has no beginning and it has no end. Arithmetic is Arithmetic.
And no number exists outside of Arthmetic.
Even numbers are no better than odd numbers.
Perfect squares are not special, neither are Fibonacci numbers. Only in the context we use them. 3.14 and 333.33 are both simply numbers and no more special or significant than any other number in relation to the WHOLE of Arithmetic.

We are each one of those numbers and we each contribute to the whole.
Are you really any better than anyone else? No!
Are you more special than anyone else? No!
You are part of the whole.
And just as one,two, three, four and five exist in Arithmetic, you, me, Dick and Jane, Moe, Larry and Curly all exist in Reality, this Reality of ALLNESS or ONENESS.
And therefore we are not separate.
So read the book, then go within and discover your reality and relation to God, this ALLNESS.

William Samuel (1924-1996) Mystic, Writer, Teacher





A prolific writer of truth, science, religion, and spiritual awakening. William Samuel was known as the "teacher's teacher" perhaps because so many teachers come to study with him. There was an inordinate number of philosophers, theologians, and members of the academe. In the later years there came physicists and mathematicians.

William Samuel devoted his life to the search for truth, a quest that took him twice around the globe and included the years he spent in China during the Second World War, a period which his books describe in some detail.

At 18 years old he was made captain of infantry and was sent to do battle in China, during W.W.II During that time he met his translator, a venerated Taoist monk, named Mr. Shieh, who was to become his friend, guide, and spiritual teacher.

After the war, Samuel returned to China and continued to study with Mr. Shieh for several months. Mr. Shieh would give William 'assignments', such as sitting at the fountain square in town and having to find 'something good' about every passerby.

After leaving China, his quests to study at the fountainheads of the world's ideas took him twice around the globe, into the remotest places.

In the 1950's, he married, had three young sons, and besides his writing, he became the proprietor of his father's small bakery and restaurant in Birmingham.

By 1952 he had been called once again to war. When he returned from his Korean duty, he went back to his family and the restaurant and bakery business. During the 50’s he wrote his first book titled Two Plus Two Equals Reality. He soon drew folks from all walks of life and from all parts of the world came to see him. He wrote and taught about what he called "a new way of understanding."

By 1968 he had written and published his most noted book A Guide To Awareness and Tranquillity and completed its companion book The Awareness of Self-Discovery in 1970. His books are filled with personal stories telling us how he put his insights to the test, showing us exactly how we can live and prove these precepts in our own lives.

"Peace of mind" , an unfluctuating, unchanging, permanent sense of well-being that transcends every human concept. It is the "peace beyond understanding" spoken of by the saints and sages throughout history.

MSG and "The Slow Poisoning of Mankind"

In February of 2009 John Erb was picked up off the street and taken straight to Virginia Beach Psychiatric, where he was committed without charges and without cause. Fortunately, a psychiatrist on staff knew John and told the hospital that there was nothing wrong with John.


He was a research assistant at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and spent years working for the government.
He made an amazing discovery while going through scientific journals for a book he was writing called "The Slow Poisoning of America".

In hundreds of studies around the world, scientists were creating obese mice and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies. No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the scientists have to create them. They make these morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with MSG when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates; causing rats (and humans?) to become obese. They even have a title for the fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated Rats".

Studies:

'The monosodium glutamate (MSG) obese rat as a model for the study of exercise in obesity'. Gobatto CA, Mello MA, Souza CT, Ribeiro IA.Res Commun Mol Pathol Pharmacol. 2002.

'Adrenalectomy abolishes the food-induced hypothalamic serotonin release in both normal and monosodium glutamate-obese rats'. Guimaraes RB, Telles MM, Coelho VB, Mori C, Nascimento CM, Ribeiro Brain Res Bull. 2002 Aug.

'Obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate treatment in spontaneously hypertensive rats: an animal model of multiple risk factors'. Iwase M, Yamamoto M, Iino K, Ichikawa K, Shinohara N, Yoshinari Fujishima Hypertens Res. 1998 Mar.

'Hypothalamic lesion induced by injection of monosodium glutamate in suckling period and subsequent development of obesity'. Tanaka K, Shimada M, Nakao K, Kusunoki Exp Neurol. 1978 Oct.

Yes, that last study was not a typo, it WAS written in 1978. Both the "medical research community" and "food manufacturers" have known about MSG's side effects for decades! Many more studies mentioned in John Erb's book link MSG to Diabetes, Migraines and headaches, Autism, ADHD and even Alzheimer's. But what can we do to stop the food manufactures from dumping fattening and addictive MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity epidemic we now see?

Two years ago I threatened the Premier of Nova Scotia that I would "ride my horse down the main street of Halifax" to bring attention to my research.
One week later, my prize horse was dead of an arrow through the lungs, in the middle of the day, right beside our home while we were inside with our children.
When I was in Ottawa last September, my family's farm was completely burned to the ground by arsonists. The Gothic home, the barn, the garage across our lane, even our historic Cooper building.....everything lost. -

This ain't normal. Especially in Canada.

 MSG and Autism  

MSG Foe John Erb

 

“There are few chemicals that we as a people are exposed to that have as many far reaching physiological affects on living beings as Monosodium Glutamate does. MSG directly causes obesity, diabetes, triggers epilepsy, destroys eye tissues, is genotoxic in many organs and is the probable cause of ADHD and Autism. Considering that MSG’s only reported role in food is that of ‘flavour enhancer’ is that use worth the risk of the myriad of physical ailments associated with it? Does the public really want to be tricked into eating more food and faster by a food additive?”
