"All things I think I see reflect ideas."

 

"What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one's own" (1:1-3).

FLASHES OF TRUTH

 

Greetings! All Hail to you, one and all! Once again we come flashing forth. Here and there and everywhere that a copy of F1ashes of Truth may go, Greetings!

Forgiving Others

 

Forgive them by seeing and thinking of them as they are in their real state, the state of Purity and light. Forgive their sleep and dream, because of its unreality and nothingness. Our Self can forgive us. Our Self can forgive THEM.

~ The Brothers ~

 

There once were two brothers who looked very much alike. They were in the same business,

dressed alike, were both lame, and each had a pumple foot. Their names were John

and William R. A gentleman wished to find John but could not recall to mind his given

name, and he asked a friend if he had seen Mr. R. “Which one? There are two brothers.”

“The lame one.”

“They are both lame.”

“Well, the pumple-footed one.”

“They are both so.”

“Well, he is a pedlar.”

“They are both so.”

“Well, this man trades, too.”

“So do both.”

“Well, my man is a democrat.”

“So are they both.”

After thinking awhile, he says, “He wears a buffalo coat and drives a lame horse.”

“So they both do,” replied the other.

“Well,” said he, “I will give up and wait, till I can see him.”

Be that as it may ...

 


In the years from 1895 to 1910, suggestive therapeutics, in its various guises and applications, was the prevailing popular psychotherapeutic treatment featured in print culture and to which large numbers of Americans turned, seeking relief for both physical and psychological disorders. The "Chicago School of Psychology"-a health institution founded by Herbert A. Parkyn offering free treatment and clinical instruction in suggestive therapeutics- along with Hypnotic Magazine, the unofficial organ of the school edited by Sydney B. Flower, reigned supreme in Midwestern psychotherapeutics and "magazine medicine."

Treatment for Divine Love

 

One of the most beautiful and helpful treatments that Emmet Fox has left in this world is the one entitled "Treatment for Divine Love":

O soul of mine!

 Paracelsus expounded in the fifteenth century: "
As man imagines himself to be, so shall he be,
and he is that which he imagines."

Paracelsus, (German: c. 1493 – 1541), born Theophrastus von Hohenheim, was a Swiss physician, alchemist, lay theologian, and philosopher of the German Renaissance.
