DON'T BE
A LEANER
NEVER
lean on other people. You
have strength of your own that is great
enough to do all that is necessary. The
Almighty has implanted genuis within the
soul of everyone and what we need to do
is to unearth that inner genious and cause
it to shine forth. We will never do this
while we look to others for guidance. "To
thine own self repair, wait thou within
the silence dim, and thou shalt find Him
there."
All
the power and intelligence of the Universe
is already within, waiting to be utilized.
The Divine Spark must be fanned into a
blaze of the living Fire of your own divinity.
Self-reliance
is the word to dwell on. Listen to your
own voice; it will speak in terms that
are unmistakable. Trust in your own self
more than in all else. All great men have
learned to do this. Every person, within
his own soul, is in direct communication
with the Infinite Understanding. When
we depend on other people we are simply
taking their light and trying to light
our path with it. When we depend on ourselves
we are depending on that inner voice that
is God, speaking in and through man. "Man
is the inlet and the outlet to all there
is in God." God has made us and brought
us up to where we recognize our own individuality;
from now on we will have to let Him express
through us. If we were different we should
not be individuals. "Behold I stand
at the door and wait." This is a
statement of the near presence of power;
but we, the Individual, must open the
door. This door is our thought and we
are the guardian of it, and when we do
open the door we will find that the Divine
Presence is right
