We
should feel ourselves surrounded by this
mind, this great pulsating life, this
all-knowing reality. When we do feel this
near presence, this great power and life,
then all we have to do is to speak forth
into it, speak with all the positive conviction
of the soul that has found its source,
and above all else never fear but that

the race not attain to when men wake up
to the real facts of being? As yet the
race has not begun to live, but the time
is drawing near. Already thousands are
using this great power, and thousands
are eagerly watching and waiting for the
new day.

a mold into which mind could pour itself
and through which it could manifest. This
positive belief is absolutely essential
to real creative work; and if we do not
at present have it, then we must develop
it.
All

matter, or the visible, is effect. As
water will freeze into the form that it
is poured, so mind will soldify only into
the forms that our thought takes. Thought
is form. The individual provides
