Dr Gaze had written a book called How to Live Forever, which states, 'There's no mystery about long life in the flesh – only ignorance.' Well, Dr Gaze lectured frequently on his favourite subject – that is, living forever. In 1959 he agreed to give two lectures on physical immortality at Robert H Bitzer's Hollywood Church of Religious Science. He didn’t show up for the second lecture. The attendees were all waiting and wondering where their esteemed lecturer was. Unfortunately, there had been a motor vehicle accident, and Dr Gaze, who had been a passenger en route to the church, would die in the aftermath of that accident. He never gave that second lecture.
Gaze pointed out the lure of "Law of Attraction" to some New Thought proponents. It was a catch-22 situation for many. They were charged with commercialism if you make money and criticism when they fail and got into debt. Never the less, the use of Truth in the business world may bring great results and success when used in the love of being in service. Troward's view of this was "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you." "The Kingdom of Heaven is within vou." - first find God in yourself and you will find Him everywhere else," It is a case of "you press the button- and we do the rest." And, also, the masses love the practical side at the expense of the religious overtones. (Note: I’m still trying to determine when “law of attraction” became “Law of Attraction”.)
