Your Purpose is to Be You.

It is like a postage-stamp then; it only has value if it sticks. Am I right about this: that what I really AM that I attract? Might this not be the meaning of Jesus' statement in Matthew 13:20 when he said "For whomsoever hath to him shall be given and he shall have more abundance; but whosoever hath not from him shall be taken away even that which he hath?" When one really HAS a husband in feeling and mentally pictures him one really does HAVE that husband; and he is sure to appear in form as a human being: Is this not having more abundance? How slowly I grow. First I wanted my husband to have understanding; now I see that he IS understanding.

That is it. Every conceivable thing that the human mind and heart can desire is already in existence. Like the electricity it has always been there; and as soon as one realizes it and tunes the desire in with that quality of Life which it is the current begins to flow in that direction. Then one has real abundance through continually having the recognition that whatsoever he may want he already has it. HOW TO LIVE LIFE AND LOVE IT by Genevieve Behrend

If we should find ourselves faced by a state of lack and limitation, we can certainly speak to God about it. We know that such a state of affairs is not according to the will of God, consequently we can ask for deliverance and a state of harmonious adjustment. But we should also pray that whatever there may be in us which is the cause or partly the cause of our lack, that this may be removed or changed. MY SEARCH FOR TRUTH ~ Henry Thomas Hamblin

"I will read from Psalm 94, 16 to 23. 'Who will rise up for me against the evil doers?,  or will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. When I said my foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous and condemn the innocent blood. But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge, and He shall bring upon them their own iniquity and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.'

That’s Psalm 94, verses 16 to 23. Those verses I just read have a fine balance and if you didn’t notice it, here’s what I mean. There’s a good balance between the problem and the solution. The problem being human evil and the solution being divine power." VH

How to Overcome Barriers to Forgiveness

The ability to forgive oneself for mistakes, large and small, is <…more…>

The following authentic account describes a case in which a wiser than his ordinary mind came to the aid of a small boy during a severe ordeal: ”In the year 1837, Vito Mangiamele, who gave his age as ten years and four months, presented himself before Arago [the eminent French savant] in Paris. He was the son of a shepherd of Sicily, who was not able to give his son any instruction. By chance it was discovered that by methods peculiar to himself the boy solved problems that seemed at first view to required extended mathematical knowledge. In the presence of the Academy [of Sciences ], Arago proposed the following questions: ‘What is the cube root of 2,796,416?’ In the space of about half a minute the child responded 156, which is correct. ‘What satisfies the condition that its cube plus 5 times its square is equal to 42 times itself increased by 40?’ Everybody understands that this is a demand for the root of the equation x³+5x²-42x-40=0.  In less than a minute Vito responded that 5 satisfies the condition, which is correct. The  third equation related to the solution of the equation x⁵-4x-16779=0. This time the child remained four or five minutes without answering. Finally, he demanded with some hesitation is 3 would not be the solution desired. The secretary having informed him that he was wrong, Vito, a few minutes afterward, gave the number 7 as the true solution. Having finally been requested to extract the tenth root of 282,475,249, Vito found in a short time that the root is 7.” Suggestion instead of medicine; (1900)

3 July. In 1839 the Academy of Sciences met in Paris to examine a Sicilian peasant boy, aged about 11, called Vito Mangiamele, who astonished them by working out the cube root of 3,796,416 in 10 seconds.

The normal yendency of accepting the view of life herein set forth is to withdraw attention from the limitations of sense, and fasten it on universal truth; to make one indifferent to material things, while living from the soul; to divest life of its hardship and acre; to dry up its sources of pain; to clear the mental vision of the spectral figments that haunt a disordered brain; to assure man that so long as he keeps the law and moves with the current of events, all the force in the universe is centered in him and nothing is opposed to him. By this truth is he certified of his right to be, for the fact that he is here proves that spirit has need of such a medium on the earth. By it is the pugnacious, greedy tyrant of selfhood destroyed within him, and he is freed from the dominion of opinion and fear. By it he finds his home in God, is filled with serene trust and the knowledge that eternal law protests him, so that no calamity can befall him. Thus is life made hamonius and whole; all things come into just relations to it, and the longing after something better is dissipated in the fruition of the everlasting NOW.
