today
hundreds of thousands are beginning to
use these great laws of their being in
a conscious, constructive way. Herein
lies the great secret of the New Thought
movements under their various names and
cults and orders. All are using the same
law even though some deny to the others
real revelation. We should get into an
attitude of mind wherein we should recongnize
the truth wherever we may find it. The
trouble with most of us is that unless
we see sugar in a sugar bowl we think
it must be something else, and so we stick
to our pettty prejudices instead of looking
after principles.
FIRST
STEPS
THE
first thing to realize is that since any
thought manifests it necessarily follows
that all thought does the same, else how
should we know that the particular thought
we are thinking would be the one that
would create? Mind must not cast back
all or none. Just as the creative power
of the soil receives all seeds put into
it, and at once begins to work upon them,
so mind must receive all thought and at
once begin to operate upon it. Thus we
find that all thought has some power in
our lives and over our conditions. We
are making our environments by the creative
power of our thought. God has created
us thus and we cannot escape it. By con-
forming our lives and thought to a greater
understanding of law we shall be able
to bring into our experience just what
we wish, letting go of all that we do
not want to experience and taking in the
things we desire.
Every
person is surrounded by a thought atmosphere
