“When we realize this truth and begin to consciously
manifest within ourselves this One Life, we are able to speak to it in everything; mineral, vegetable, animal,
man; animate or inanimate; seen or unseen. When we speak to and touch the One
Life in our consciousness, which we can do when we are harmonious, and the more
harmonious we are with ourselves the easier is it to touch It; when we can do
this, we can speak in the one tongue, the one universal language of love and
harmony which all can speak, hear and understand.”~
How We Create Ourselves
" Where there is God there is no need.”
" Abundance is the natural law, of the universal
life."
The key with which we may unlock any occult law is recognition.
When we want to understand this " Law of Abundance "
we must recognize that such a law exists, and when we stop and think for a
moment this is not so difficult for us to do. Law of Abundance
“A student once came into my office in a very
excited frame of mind, and said, “Mr. Sears, I have been robbed.” Her place of business had been broken into and her
stock cleaned out so completely that practically nothing was left that could be
taken away. She said, “Where in the world did I generate the destructive energy to
relate with this loss?” I said, ” My dear woman, we haven’t
time now to question how and where you created that destructive energy. We know
that you did create it or you could not have been robbed. The only thing to do
now is to generate the harmonious enery which will antidote the effects of
these causes which lie before you on the external plane, and instead of living
in the consciousness of the loss which you see materialized before you, live in
the consciousness of your oneness wirh the Law of Harmony, and know that those
goods cannot stay away from you any length of time because you have attracted
them under the Law of Harmony, and you have only generated enough inharmony to
relate to you with their temporay loss.”
We held to that thought, to the ideation, to that image, and forgot the inharmony, the wuestion of that destructive force she had set in motion to relate her with the loss originally, and the result was that inside of the next three weeks all but $300 worth of her goods were returned to her and without the aid of the police.~ The Law of Cause and Effect

There are thousands of persons who went without breakfast this
morning, not because there was any lack in the supply of food in this city, but
solely and entirely because they have separated themselves in their
consciousness, their thought world, from the supply. Law of Abundance
How do we separate ourselves?
How do we get away
from this abundance of supply?
A young man about
twenty-three years old came into my office the other day; he was strong,
sturdy, healthy, well-built, well clothed, and of good appearance. He wanted a
position, and this is the story he told. He had come to New York about six
weeks before with f50 in his pocket; he had been tramping the streets of the
city day after day during all that time and had not been able to secure a
position. Here in New York City where every morning the papers are filled with
advertisements for the employment of thousands of men and women; where the cry
is always for men and women to work; here in New York City a man could walk the
streets for six weeks without securing employment?
That is the story
he told and I have every reason to believe it was true, because the moment he
came into the door I felt his atmosphere of failure. He carried failure around
with him.
When he first came
to New York City, he was more or less filled with fear. He was worried, he was
anxious, he was fearful that he would not get a job, and as he walked the
streets day after day that fear took possession of him stronger and more
powerfully; and as the days went by and he did not secure a position, and his
little store of money began to dwindle away, his fear kept increasing.
Instead of seeing
himself in a position, he kept seeing himself out of one; he kept seeing
himself walking the streets and not being able to get a position, and he 'continued
to relate with just what he visualized or created.
I said to him,
"Why don’t you see yourself in a position? "He said he could not get
anything to do because he did not have any local city references."
Why," I said. "my dear boy, that isn't the reason ; the reason is
solely and entirely because you cannot see yourself in a position; because you
will not see yourself having work. You are ready and willing enough to see
yourself out of a position; you have seen yourself tramping these streets day after
day and going into place after place and being refused everywhere you went;
that is what you have built, for that is the kind of energy you have generated;
that is the kind of atmosphere you carry around with you; that is the kind of
atmosphere you brought into my office, and God himself cannot give you a job
until you have created it for yourself in your own consciousness. When you will
learn to see yourself in a position, with half the persistency you see yourself
out of one, you will then not remain idle very long."
He said,
"That's all very fine for you, a man who has a good business, to sit and
talk like that.”
I said, " My
dear boy, how do you suppose a man gets a good business? Do you think it comes
to him by luck or chance? What do you know about my business? Whatever I have
is the result or the effect of my own creation, and whatever you have to-day is
the materialization of your own vision."
He said it was
"just his luck," and I said, "My dear boy, as long as you live
in that state of consciousness, as long as you continue building that in your
thought world, it will be impossible for you to get a position. There is only
one way for you to get one, and when you will follow that way, I will guarantee
you will have a position inside of the next twenty-four hours, notwithstanding
the negative, destructive energy yon have generated in the past." Well, he
was going to have a position that day or he was going to do something dreadful.
Don't you see how
life after life gets in that negative, destructive thought current. No matter
what we say to them until they have worked out at least some of the effects of
their negative energy, until they have perhaps drunk the very dregs of misery
as a result of it, they will not learn. They will hold on to their old thought
ideas, their old thought habits, their old thought customs, and we cannot break
them away; it is useless to try, because even could we pull them away by force,
they would not stay away; they go back again and again. We can lay our hands on
their lives and take them out of the condition in which they find themselves;
we can take care of their immediate wants with money and give them a position,
but again and again do those lives go back into those negative, destructive
thought currents, until the day comes when they see for themselves the truth of
this law, that they are separating themselves from the universal abundance of
supply through every thought they think and then they come back into the
recognition of their oneness with the universal supply, and make for that
oneness more and more. Law of Abundance
What is God," we can say that God is Love, Law, Harmony
— God is All —
There is nothing anywhere but God. What is God?

Can you see _your_ weakness as _your_ danger?Can you see _your_ self-excusing as _your_ barrier to self-command?If not, do so starting today. Self-danger will fade. Vernon Linwood Howard
