SUPPOSE that you wish to draw friends and companions to you;
that you wish to enlarge your circle of friendships. This, too, can all be
worked out by law, for everything can be worked out by the same law, the reason
being that all is One and that the One becomes the many in expression. There
are too many people in the world who are lonesome because they have a sense of
separation from people. The thing to do is not to try to unify with people, but
with the Principle of Life behind all people and things. This is working from
the center and not the circumference; in this One Mind are the minds of all
people.
Be
sufficient unto yourself and at the same time include all else, and people will
feel your strength and will have a desire to come into the radiance of it.
Never become unhappy or morbid; always be cheerful and radiate good nature and
happiness; never look depressed or down in the mouth; the world is attracted to
the strongest center of cheer and good fellowship. Never allow your feelings to
be hurt. No one wants to hurt you, and none could, even though they did want
to; you are above all that. Wherever you go know that the Spirit of Truth goes
before and prepares the way, bringing to you every friend and influence that
will be necessary to your comfort and well being. This is not selfishness but
good sense and will surely bring to you a harvest of friends and companions.
Declare
unto Mind that you are now linked with all people and that all people are
linked with you: see yourself surrounded with hosts of friends; mentally feel
their presence and rejoice that all good is yours now. Do this no matter what
seems to happen, and it will not be long before you will meet wonderful friends
and will be brought into touch with the great of the world. Creative Mind and Success, by Ernest S(hurtleff) Holmes

IN the last analysis, man is just what he thinks himself
to be; he will attract to himself what he thinks most about. He can learn to
govern his own destiny when he learns to control his thoughts. In order to do
this he must first realize that everything in the manifest universe is the
result of some inner activity of Mind. This Mind is God, producing a universe
by the activity of His own divine thoughts; man is in this Mind as a thinking
center, and what he thinks governs his life, even as God's thought governs the
Universe, by setting in motion all the cosmic activities. This is so easy to
understand, and so plain as to use that we often wonder why we have been so
long finding out this, the greatest of all truths of all the ages. Believing;
thinking what is believed to be true; thinking into Mind each day that which is
wished to be returned; eliminating negative thoughts; holding all positive
thoughts; giving thanks to the Spirit of Life that it is so trusting always in
the higher law; never arguing with one's self or with others; using; these are
the steps which, when followed, will bring us to where we shall not have to ask
if it be true, for, having demonstrated, we shall know.
The seed that falls into the ground shall
bear fruit of its own kind; and nothing shall hinder it.
"He that hath ears to hear, let him
hear."
