the universe as this one, affirming it again and again many times. After a few moments I began to feel wondrously lifted and as if chains were dropping off. Then the voice within me urged me on a step farther to say: There is no personality in the universe; there is nothing but God. After a short time spent in vigorously using these words, I seemed to break every fetter. From that day to this, without further effort, I have been as free from any influence of that personality as though it had never existed.

If at any time the lesser affirmation of Truth fails to free you from the influence of other minds, try this more sweeping one: There is no personality in the universe; there is nothing but God, and you are bound to be made free.

The more you learn to act from the "still small voice" within you, the stronger and more pronounced will be individuality in you.

If you are inclined to wilt before strong personalities, always remember that God has need of you, through whom, in some special manner, to manifest Himself --- some manner for which He cannot use any other organ --- what need have you to quail before any person, no matter how important?

However humble your place in life, however unknown to the world you may be, however small your capabilities may seem at present to you, you are just as much a necessity to God in His efforts to get Himself into visibility as is the most brilliant
