Light is good in whatever lamp it is burning.

A rose is beautiful in whatever garden it may bloom.

A star has the same radiance if it shine from the East or West. Abdul Baha

"Sukces don't konsist in never makin' mistakes,
but in never makin' the same one twice." Josh Billings

The greater the difficulty, the more glory in the surmounting of it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests. —Epicurus

Back of the beating hammer,

By which the steel is wrought,

\

Back of the work-shops clamor,

The seeker may find the thought;

The thought that is ever master

Of Iron and Steam and Steel,

That rises above disaster,

\

And tramples it under heel!

—Burton Bradley

Perhaps you may think that your imagination can create nothing. Well, you can easily prove whether this is so or not yourself. Take a piece of white paper about twenty-four inches square. Draw a circle as large as this paper will permit and then draw a horizontal line through the center of the circle. Call the left end of the line "A" and the right end ""B". Now, draw a vertical line through the circle and call the north end of this line "C" and the south end "D". Take a lead pencil and attach a string about eight inches long and upon the end of the string tie a small weight about the size of a quarter. Now, then, for the proof.

Place the paper on a table, stand upright, and hold the rod above the paper so that the pendulum will be just above the center of the paper where the lines intersect. Now think of the line A-B, but do not move; in a few minutes the pendulum will swing back and forth along the line A-B. Now think of the line C-D; the pendulum will stop swinging back and forth and will begin to swing up and down along the line C-D.

Now take your thought off from the lines entirely and fix it upon the circle. The pendulum will begin a circular motion.

Now then, think that the pendulum is swinging faster and faster, that you can hardly stop it. The motion will become so fast, that you can hardly see it go.

Now then, think that it will not move at all, that something is the matter with it.

It will stop!  This experiment is one that Mr. Charles Baudouin of The Jean Jacques Institute in France uses to illustrate the power of thought to his students. Also called the “Chevreul Pendulum Test”.

Prosperity is a harmonious, creative state of being. Creative law will overcome every kind of inharmony, whether it be financial, physical, mental, moral, or social. Prosperity is the result of right, or creative, thinking and that poverty is the result of wrong, or destructive, thinking.

You can prove this for yourself in a very short time.

Begin by taking these words: "I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, prosperous, and happy." Repeat them over and over to yourself as often as you can think to do it, especially the last thing before dropping off to sleep at night and the first thing upon awaking in the morning. Remember, these are creative words. YOU by CHARLES F. HAANEL

See yourself happy, and lift your mind up to it by constantly repeating a happy affirmation, and you will readily realize the reaction in kind.  ATTAINING YOUR DESIRES by GENEVIEVE BEHREND

Cease all this talk of the beauty of poverty, and the joy of the humble—you know that in the bottom of your heart you do not mean a word of it. You know that you are just saying these things because you are afraid that you cannot have that which you want. Throw off this mask of hypocrisy, and self-deception, and stand out in the open like a man, throwing your head up and looking the world in the face, saying, "Yes, I do desire Money; I want it and I want it earnestly, and through the LAW I demand it as my rightful inheritance—and I'm going to get it, beginning right now!"  Law of Financial Success - Edward E Beals

"My kingdom,” or "the kingdom of God" is not something religious. The "kingdom of God,” the "kingdom of heaven,” are both the same thing: REALITY – HERE NOW. Jesus was not religious! He was not being religious when he told us about this wonderful kingdom, neither was he telling us fairy tales. He was telling us about "HOME,” that MIND, or state of BEING from which ALL things flow. He was telling us about WHERE we come from –actually always are, as well as WHO and WHAT we are. He was inviting us back again into our right MIND. He was saying, "What I AM you are.” He was saying "You have been fooled by what appears to be a body you think you live in, but I tell you to take no thought about a body, what you will eat or drink or what you will put on. No one can take your life from you. Your life is not your body, nor in your body. The works I do you will do also, and even greater works than I do you will do. Just as no one can take my life from me, I can lay my body down and take it up again, you can lay your body down and take it up again as well, because all is within you, within the MIND that you ARE. Your body is an idea in what you call GOD, which can also equally be called MIND. ALL that you see are ideas in MIND, thus all and everything is SPIRIT, the SUBSTANCE that GOD IS. GOD is LIFE, and LIFE IS ALL in ALL." BUY THE TRUTH AND SELL IT NOT BY JANE WOODWARD

Guy Finley: Look around you, wherever you may be and at any moment. Try to see through the roles of actors and actresses crossing this or that stage of life; look past their appearances and seeming differences and you'll find all share one thing in common...
