PREFACE.
THE shorthand notes from which this volume has
been compiled were taken, and the transcription be-
gun, with no thought beyond the personal benefit and
satisfaction to be derived from their perusal from
time to time.
As the work of copying advanced, however, the idea
of sharing my valuable collection of beautiful truths
with others who are in the pathway of the higher
thought became an impelling motive.
While each excerpt is complete in itself, and the
original intent was to cite them in the order reported
from the lectures, yet, for the sake of convenient ref-
erence, they have been arranged as seemed suitable;
the method of compilation and classification suggest-
ing itself, and ultimately developing into the form
here presented.
A helpful, inspiring motto may be found in nearly
every citation; but the grouping of several at the close
of each subject, it is hoped, may aid in securing that
concentration which leads to healing and unfoldment.

So, with hopeful expectancy that these truths may
indeed prove helpful Sayings for Leisure Moments,

and that an acceptable and inspiring suggestion may
appeal with strengthening influence to many, when in
doubt, or disheartened—and believing it will meet
with a warm welcome from those whose privilege it has
been to listen to this gifted speaker-I affectionately
offer this little volume to all who are of the brother-
hood and sisterhood of Spiritual Science, and to all
who seek to become familiar with its inspiring doc-
trine.

pronounce it authentic.

Glints of Wisdom
“According to thy word be it unto thee.” It is en-
tirely woman's fault if man's estimate of her is low-it
is woman's own opinion thrust back upon her.
It is absolutely necessary, in all teaching, to avoid
using two words for the same thing, as words have
widely different meanings.
MOTTO.
Every man is God's spoken word.
10


THOUGHT.
Thought is the magnet that attracts everything to
itself.
Everything originates in the thought world. Every
material thing springs from the mind of some individ-
ual.
We bring upon ourselves an immense amount of
trouble because we act without thought; we take the
consequences of our own ignorant actions.
People express what they express in consequence of
their chronic habits of thought. We must learn to
live always in the best and highest thought; to take
note of our thoughts; to encourage only those
thoughts which, when manifested in external forms,
express in forms of beauty.
As every thought you think about yourself comes
back to you, every time you call yourself “a poor crea-
ture," it will come back to you. The "worm” theol-
ogy has made worms of vast numbers of people.
“According to thy word, be it unto thee,” is univer-
sally the case.
A great many people want to be well, but they do
not wish to think along the lines that lead to health.
11


Glints of Wisdom
People want to be well, and at the same time they
wish to be unmolested in their bad thoughts—their
venom. They must either change their thoughts and
get well, or they must hold the old thought and re-
main ill.
The mental healer needs to know what thought
must be expressed in place of a thought that makes
for illness. No one can be permanently cured by any
external method. No one can be cured until the cause
of disorder is removed.
"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.” We often hear the expression, “a speak-
ing countenance.” We can all read character when
we become familiar with its signs. We know that, on
the physical plane, there are healthy and unhealthy
positions of the body; all that the mental healer de-
clares is that on the subjective plane—where we are
dealing with thought—there is a way to think that
will produce health. When we think in the right way,
we are well; and when we think in the wrong way, we
are ill. Effect follows cause; our ignorance makes no
difference with the law.
By holding to the ground that one is entitled to
honest dealing, that he will be honest and demand
honesty from others, people around him will be held in
12


Thought
the thought of honesty; he will make for honesty in
the community. If we hold people in the thought of
dishonesty, we are making for dishonesty.
Whenever one holds the thought that people are
going to do wrong things, he vitiates the atmosphere.
The person who eggs another on to do a wrong is just
as much to blame as the wrong-doer. These are the
very hypocrites denounced by Christ. One who un-
dertakes to pass judgment or condemnation upon his
neighbor is a hypocrite. If one is easily influenced,
the one who holds a wrong thought in regard to him
helps to make him a wrong-doer.
Thought can be sent out into a room or any place.
You can send into an apartment a helpful thought
whenever you wish to do so provided you have no
doubt as to the matter.
Many people have been accused of plagiarism when
they have only picked out of the atmosphere thoughts
that have passed out from others. Our very thoughts
-the very words we may be writing can be taken
up by other people in this way.
Everything readjusts itself; every thought we yield
to reflects itself in our conditions.
A circumstance matters not at all to a person who
recognizes the sovereignty of thought. Any place is
a sanctuary where one's mental state is holy.
e
13


KNOWLEDGE.
What constitutes knowledge? Experience is an in-
terior realization.
The intellect is subject to continual change.
The most that one knows is the limit of that per-
son's present attainment. The limit of our attain-
ment to-day is higher than it was in days gone by; but
the limit of our attainment to-day is not the limit of
our attainment for days to come. The order of de-
velopment is first, animal instinct, next the intellec-
tual, and then the higher spiritual qualities; our moral
and spiritual attainments are superadded to the ani-
mal and intellectual.
Those who are now on the lower rungs of the ladder
must live through different and higher expressions,
either on this planet or elsewhere.
There are many persons to-day whose intellects are
entirely superficial.
It is what you understand that is, practically, the
reality so far as you are concerned.
The Book of Nature is open to every one who is
willing to read it. Every one who is in the position to
15


Knowledge
Everything in this universe is open, unsealed. God
has placed a veil over nothing. God is willing that
every one should read the Book of Nature through
and through, and come into the secret of creation it-
self. “Understandest thou what thou readest?”
Things are vastly more than they seem.
All our mistakes come from false conjecture; we
conjecture something beyond what is evidenced to us.
When our senses do not tell us enough, our conjec-
tures and speculations produce false beliefs, which
continue to hold us until apprehension of truth de-
stroys them.
Nature never picks out any of her stitches! Never
repents! Man's knowledge of the universe is pro-
gressive. Man makes mistakes; therefore, man has
to alter his own work. Man's belief concerning the
law changes; knowledge never changes. Knowledge
increases; belief changes. Belief may be false; there-
fore, belief changes; but knowledge cannot change.
Man is neither omnipotent nor omniscent. There
is no one altogether perfect except the Eternal Being,
because no one but the Infinite can be perfect in
knowledge; and it would be necessary to possess all
knowledge in order to always do right. There is al-
ways the possibility of error as long as there is more
for us to learn.
17


Glints of Wisdom
up bits of information here and there; people who have
it are versatile. The one who has the gift of knowl-
edge is only an assistant to one who has the gift of
wisdom.
One having wisdom is able to arrive at conclusions
by intuition, to penetrate to the very root of a matter
-not necessarily learned, wise by intuition. Wisdom
and knowledge are not synonymous terms. Knowl-
edge may be the result of a good, retentive memory;
wisdom is gained by direct spiritual perception, an in-
terior perception able to lay hold of direct spiritual
illumination.
There are two classes of teachers in the world to-
day: rationalists and intuitionalists.
REFLECTION.
The “Philosopher's stone” means wisdom. It is
the knowledge of the law.
Belief is voluntary. One can hold in thought or
belief whatever one pleases, in regard to anything or
anybody. Belief and knowledge are not the same.
If we absolutely know anything, that is more than
belief. Wherever there is knowledge or demonstra-
tion, there is no further need for belief at all.
MOTTO.
The human soul attains through effort.
20


CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Everything—no matter how great or how small in
man's opinion—is the result of law. Man is the ex-
pression of the law. We are not creatures—not ser-
vants—but children of God.
It is impossible to do anything outside of universal
law. .
Many do not know the difference between what
makes for satisfaction, and what makes for dissatis-
faction.
As long as people live on a low plane of morality,
they will have all the ills that arise from sensuality,
from worry, from all irregularities.
For every effect there must be a sufficient cause.
We do not call every cause a reason.
We should not say that all persons who appear ill
are suffering the results of sin in the theological sense,
though all sick people are sinners in the philosophical
sense. A mistake has been made by some one, and the
result has brought about a condition which is a pen-
alty, though not in the punitive sense. There is no
punishment for error, but there must be a penalty.
22


Cause and Effect
If people admit that all the suffering and sorrow in
the world is the result of God's anger, they can never
hope to avert it, unless by some miracle.
The statement, “Whatever is is right” should be,
“Whatever must be is right”—whatever is in the law
of necessity, the unchangeable effect of the unchange-
able cause. An unchangeable cause must produce an
unchangeable effect. We must aspire in order to
inspire.
People would never suffer if they never needed to
suffer—if they never brought suffering upon them-
selves. We do not overcome pain and suffering sim-
ply by denying its existence. All disorder is mental;
the physical effect is only the result of a mental cause.
· No one can alter the relation between cause and effect.
Every thought produces a decided effect upon the
thinker; and not only does it produce an effect upon
the thinker, but also upon all those who yield to its in-
fluence consciously or unconsciously.
We do not advocate dealing arbitrarily with indi-
vidual cases. There is one Universal Law, which can
be expounded for all mankind. Every one can be
well— can be happy—can be successful. The law is
absolutely universal. There is no reason, though un-
doubtedly a cause for people being ill, unhappy, or in
any way distressed.
23


Glints of Wisdom
We teach most positively that every one is held in
bondage to the law he makes for his own government.
Laws will never relax their hold until the framers of
the laws give them up. You bind yourself by your
own laws. What we need to realize is, that all laws
which can be broken, had better be broken; the only
law which cannot be broken is the Law of the Uni-
verse. To break divine law is the only thing you can-
not do. If you have a headache it is not because you
have broken the law, but because you cannot break a
law of Nature. Nobody ever breaks the law, because
the law cannot be broken. The relation between
cause and effect is unchangeable.
There is no such thing as accident; everything is
traceable to cause and effect.
We do not admit physical causation, any more than
the Christian Scientists do. We admit physical ef-
fects, but we do not allow that the body is its own
cause. We do not admit that a pathological condi-
tion is the result of physical causation. All causation
is mental. There is no physical causation, but there
are physical effects.
There is always a mental cause back of the effect.
What is cause? The mental habit, the tendency, the
disposition of the mind; these are to be healed. What


Cause and Effect
people commonly call disease in the body, we call the
effect of disease in the thought.
The world is in hysterics. Why? Because of the
false standards of justice and morality prevailing
everywhere.
A sensation is an effect, and necessarily of some-
thing back of it which produces it.
Be moderate in all things! Whatever is natural
and spontaneous gives satisfaction. There should be
no satiety, but continual satisfaction, on the lower
plane; till that which is higher and comes later, trans-
fers desire to another region in consciousness.
We are often too ignorant to know the relation be-
tween causes and their effects; therefore we are sur-
prised at our experiences and find them for a while in-
comprehensible.
There is no special Providence, but there is a univ-
versal Divine Providence. The one Divine Law reg-
ulates all things, from stars to smallest atoms. The
same law governs in the least as in the greatest.
Nothing in the universe transpires except in ac-
cordance with a fixed law. Divine operation contin-
ues through the operation of natural law. God could
not change the law of the universe without changing
himself. The law is the expression of the law-giver.
25


Glints of Wisdom
The effect cannot be unlike the cause; unchangeable
cause produces unchangeable effect. All human or-
dinances are subject to change; not only to progress,
but to alteration. When we know a thing, we know
it forever. The opportunity for progress is in the
natural, inevitable order of things. The element of
change—alteration-proves that man not only knows
too little, not only knows now far less than he will
know, but makes mistakes and blunders. He does
work that he will have to undo, because he often works
blindly.
We often have to pay the penalty, in our own per-
sons, of what we call others to account for.
Neurasthenia—the gradual wasting away of the
nervous tissue—is the popular ailment of the present
age. Hysteria is just as common with men as with
women. Neurasthenia does not appertain to one sex
more than another, nor to one age more than another,
it is to be found in all periods of life, and in all oc-
cupations.
These ailments—hysteria, neurasthenia, impairing
and general wasting away of tissue—are not due to
over-work; they are only due to worry. A great
many people are over-worried, not over-worked. The
antidotes to all these disorders are purely mental.
26


Cause and Effect
If you do, in a normal condition, as much work as it
is right for you to do, you will fall asleep, and sleep as
long as it is good for you to sleep.
Worry is nothing but hysteria! We destroy brain
tissue by worrying.
We never knew a strong person who was always in
a hurry, and we never knew a successful person who
was always in a hurry; people whose experiences are
like a see-saw are mentally unbalanced.
Watches are usually too fast when in the pockets
of hysterical people.
In consequence of certain things being as they are,
certain results will follow. Change the cause; trouble
yourself not with the effect, and the effect will take
care of itself.
AFFIRMATION.
There are no accidents. Nothing ever occurs by
chance. There must be a sufficient cause for every
effect. Everything takes place according to law.
MEDITATION.
Not only oil, but soapsuds, will calm the troubled
sea. We can increasingly discover the Law of the
Universe, though none can change its immutable de-
crees. One element neutralizes the rage of another.
The way of discovery is open to every individual.
27


Glints of Wisdom
MEDITATION.
The irritability of the human invalid and of weak
little dogs is proverbial. The strongest men and also
animals are always good-natured. But turn to some
one of rather less than average intelligence or
strength, and you will find a person who resembles a
little snapping cur, instead of a noble, powerful mas-
tiff. Little creatures who feel their absence of power,
but would like to assume a power they do not possess,
are like little barking, snapping dogs contrasted with
the finest canines.
28


LIMITATION. .
Deny all limitations; there are no limitations, per
se. Unless we take this ground, we shall never suc-
ceed in our effort for health on any plane, in any
direction.
When we get beyond all sense of limitation, we can
have just as much as we desire to attract. There is a
universal supply. Nature is so bountiful that all can
have as much as they can hold.
You wish to overcome a limitation—then you will
to actualize the very opposite of what you are now
doing. You must let your will work quietly, and
bring your recognition into harmony with your will
by acknowledging your ability to accomplish whatso-
ever you desire.
While our goal is to be entirely superior to circum-
stances, we are not entirely superior to them until we
have grown to a highly developed state. We can
grow to absolute control over circumstances. This is
not yet generally attained; it is the ideal.
To be able to control all circumstances is an evi-
dence of very high moral development. One not so
highly developed will succumb occasionally.
29


Glints of Wisdom
When you depend for happiness upon anything,
you make it a necessity. As you make it a necessity,
so it is necessary to you. The person who says he
cannot do without this or that, allows it to become a
necessity to him. You say you cannot get any infor-
mation except from books; very well, you have made
that a law. “According to thy word, be it unto thee."
If we did not make laws for our own bondage, we
could get all needed knowledge psychically. It is
just so with every limitation under which we groan.
We have made the limits, and now we must break
away from our limitations.
We maintain that all those limitations which people
make for themselves are entirely unnecessary, and
should be overcome. The mistake is in thinking that
they can only get the blessings they desire through a
prescribed media. People must realize that accord-
ing to their word, it is unto them. The ministration
of second causes is not to be denied; effects are pro-
duced through many agencies; the power of external
suggestion is not to be denied-up to a certain point
-but the sooner we grow above this the better.
Everything that is external keeps you in a certain
groove; and as long as you are in a groove you can
never attain true development. If you will be bold
enough to step out of all ruts, whatever you need will
come to you. Develop!
30


Limitation
There are virtuous people so stale and monotonous
that they rise to a certain height, and never go above
it; you know you will never have a surprise from them.
But take a person who is in any sense outside the ordi-
nary limit-you never know what is coming; there is
something pleasurable in that kind of uncertainty, for
it savors of progression.
If you are going to place a limit anywhere, you are
not open to a revelation from the universal Spirit of
Truth—if there is any line beyond which you may not
pass. Just as long as you say “Of course, there's a
limit,” you are limited by that thought; and you can-
not go out into any larger and higher thing as long as
your own word confines you to that smaller thing.
The age of man should be at least one hundred and
twenty years. It takes about twenty years for the
human animal to reach maturity, and he should live,
after that, five times as long as the period taken to
mature. This is the least we have reason to expect;
the greater duration of man's terrestrial existence
when he has transcended the animal within him is
illimitable.
REFLECTION.
The word “only” should be struck out of our vocab-
ulary; it signifies limitation. We find ourselves at
war with all limitation immediately we place confi-
dence in Omnipotent Spirit.
S

31


SERVILITY.
The weaker people are, the more easily they can be
influenced in any direction.
It is intellectual laziness and servility that lead to
so many of the ailments of the present time. It is
the combination of servility and laziness that produces
all the ailments extant; we may add one other cause,
anger. To get rid of all these, we must get rid of all
limitations; to get rid of all anger, get rid of all fear,
get rid of all laziness, get rid of all mental as well as
physical servility. Fears manifest themselves in dis-
order. Anger, fear, servility, laziness—four demons.
When we have got rid of these four, we have be-
come well. We can then read Nature's book without
a hindrance.
It is the right and privilege of every person to be
healthy, and it is equally the privilege of every person
to be free. How many free people are there to-day?
How can we expect health in captivity?
Belief hampers many people to such an extent that
they are bedridden, because they believe in that condi-
tion. Their thoughts are so crippled that they have
not liberty to move their bodies.
32


Servility
The majority of people to-day cannot account for
their diseases, for the reason that they take upon them-
selves the conditions of people around them; and this
is because of their mental servility.
Every blind following of a fashion or custom means
vastly more to the mental scientist than it does to the
physicist. The mental condition of which such an act
is an expression matters greatly. We do not mean, as
metaphysicians, exactly what we say, when we object
to the wearing of a certain hat; but the mental condi-
tion, of which the hat is the expression, is what we care
about. It is not the articles of clothing, but the men-
tal servility which makes such clothing worn which
can hold people in bondage.
The person who wears anything he doesn't like be-
comes ill through the mental condition which caused
him to wear it.
When people do not dare to live up to their own
honest convictions, they break the first commandment
of the Decalogue.
We must not wear intellectual corsets and tight
shoes, if we wish to become psychically liberated.
Many women permit themselves to become psy-
chologized by their husbands. No one need be in
any kind of bondage to another. The moment the
88


Glints of Wisdom
soul asserts its own freedom, it need never be under
the control of any one-in heaven or earth—No one
is free until he is self-emancipated.
REFLECTION.
If we are in free thought, we shall enjoy free breath.
All disorders, such as bronchial troubles, proceed
from some bondage in thought.
34


Glints of Wisdom
Physical attitudes are results of mental attitudes.
People's voices show their mental conditions. One's
movements show individuality—or the lack of it.
The question often arises, “How is it that so many
seemingly good people are not well?” Until we have
become individualized—have obtained control of all
our hidden chambers—we cannot be free; therefore
we cannot be well at all times, for we lack the requis-
ite understanding.
People who are simply agnostic, or sceptical, are
shallow; they may be perfectly sincere, but never pro-
found.
The materialist is a simpleton, though he may be
quite sincere.
The trouble is in our not thinking rightly of our-
selves and others; we are not sufficiently independent
and individualized. That false humility which makes
us think others better than ourselves is as detestable
in the light of science as the stupid pride which is the
other extreme.
What is needed to-day is an adventurous soul that
will break the bonds of all conventionality.
Perfect individualization is necessary to the highest
morality as well as health. There is no morality in
mo
O

Individuality
injustice; where there is no justice, there is no
morality.
It is the woman who has to do with the little infant.
The great thing for woman to do to-day is to hold
herself in respect, in the silence, as well as in the
spoken word. Woman's power psychically is far
greater than her power physically.
Woman holds an enormous spiritual power, of
which she is for the most part unaware.
When people are tempted and tried, what does it
mean? It means that they are upon their metal.
They are being tested. Thus, character is developed.
If you could always see the Divine countenance, then
you would be less than a hero. Stand upon your own
metal, and reach the point where conscience becomes
an infallible guide. Everything that puts people
upon their own footing is of the utmost value to them.
Every individual must come into a conscious
knowledge of how to regulate his own life. As long
as we depend upon other people, we do not decide for
ourselves, therefore we cannot become individualized.
Man must dominate the earth as represented with-
in himself, before he can dominate the earth around
him. Man can rise entirely superior to all the lower
influences around him, but only by first gaining the
needed victory within his own economy.
37


Glints of Wisdom
We are capable of unfolding the Divine within us,
because we have it to unfold. Man is a spiritual en-
tity here and now. Man's body is his own; he claims
the right of ownership. Is it right for the master-
the spirit—to control the flesh? or, is it right for the
flesh to dominate the spirit?
It is our individuality that needs to be recognized.
To do this is where people fail so lamentably.
The greater the manifestation of life, the nobler the
form appears.
It is absolutely necessary to have a form as a means
of expression on any plane. When we no longer
have the physical body, we shall sustain the psychical
body—in its own way. We can only build up the
physical body in a psychical way.
This physical body must be perfected before we
exchange it for a higher body.
To have a body that would serve the spirit perfect-
ly, would be to have a body volatile a body that
would come and go at will—not a body of bones and
sinews, flesh and blood.
The psychic body can be made perfectly tractable
-becoming visible and invisible, at will—A body en-
tirely under the control of the will of its owner can
be materialized or dematerialized at its owner's pleas-
ure.
88


Individuality
The difference between one form of life and an-
other is that one expresses more life than another.
It is only a question of the lesser and the greater that
decides the value of expression.
Every one who believes in an angry God worships
not the Divinity within him, but the animality.
What people call rebellion against God is really a
phase in the development of their lives. All the
records of the fall of man and God's consequent an-
ger are falsely interpreted, owing to our ignorance.
God has always been looking on man with perfect
complaisance, satisfied with his own work.
Lucifer, according to Milton's "Paradise Lost,"
says, “I had rather rule in Hell than serve in
Heaven”; and the opportunity was given him. The
fall of Lucifer represents the human soul falling into
the kingdom of materiality, developing its own self-
consciousness, and determining to reign in its own
kingdom. We do not believe that man ever fell in a
manner to offend God.
Man, before the fall, according to the spiritual
theory, lived in a natal paradise. The soul, in that
primeval paradise, was perfectly conscious, but not
self-conscious; we must discriminate between con-
sciousness and self-consciousness. When we add
39


Glints of Wisdom
self-consciousness to consciousness, self-consciousness
is a desirable acquisition; the simple consciousness re-
mains, but the self-consciousness being added, we are
not content to know that we are alive, but ask why we
live, and what we are living for.
The account of Jesus putting the little child in the
midst of the people illustrates this. The child is an
interrogation-point, a query. The child is deter-
mined to develop self-consciousness.
The little child is a symbol of the individual first
awakening to self-consciousness.
INTERROGATION.
Our individuality persists now, in spite of all the
changes of the body. Why should it be destroyed
when we lay off this body?
MOTTO.
Character is something one has to develop within
himself. A reputation may be bought; a character
must be earned.
MEDITATION.
If you are worthy of a recommendation, you do not
need one; if you want one you are not worth it.
MOTTO.
One cannot make a decided impression when he
himself is undecided.


MENTAL HEALING.
Metaphysical means beyond the physical. There
could not be a metaphysical if there were no physical.
There must be a physical to admit of a metaphysical.
He is a metaphysician who goes all the way the
physicist may go, and then transcends this limit.
OverCO
What is mental healing? Mental healing is ac-
complished educationally. You can overcome what-
ever you will to overcome; there are no limitations
that can hold you any longer than you are passive to
be held by them. It is not the will of the people that
we have to change in metaphysical healing, so much
as to enlarge their understanding. Just so long as
people believe that they have to be unfortunate, they
will not succeed. There must be co-operation of the
will with the understanding. A very necessary men-
tal attitude to take when giving a treatment is, that
unless you admit that you have the power to do any-
thing, you cannot do it. In giving a mental treat-
ment, you must admit that your patient has both the
will and the power to express the state he desires to
manifest.
In treating one's self, let the will alone, but appeal
41


Glints of Wisdom
to the intellect. Come to realize that all good will
can be called into effect.
All pathological conditions are abnormal. We
allow no place for unhappiness, no place for failure;
these are abortions, not necessary to the complete
work of Nature. No one need be ill, no one need be
unhappy, no one need fail; there need be no disorder
in the world; these are entirely unnecessary.
Society is a sick man, and you have to treat society
—just as you would an individual. How shall you
prescribe for it?
You must take people as you find them; but do not
leave them as you found them. Your influence must
be to lift the world to a state that it was not in when
you found it.
One who has more than ordinary access to the un-
seen realm can help others on their own plane; and
then, just as you take your children and educate
them, you take grown people along. Make any
present “craze” or “fad”—if people choose to call it
sora means of taking people along acknowledged
paths to something higher—to the discovery of the
soul.
The true idea of mental healing is that one can
help another into similar harmonious relation with
the universal supply.


Glints of Wisdom
The true metaphysical healer does not undertake to
fight disease. As we claim that the condition of the
flesh is due to the condition of the blood, and the con-
dition of the blood is due to the condition of the
thought, it follows that if the thought be pure, the
blood will be pure and ultimately the flesh likewise.
It is affirmed by many talented physicians that all
disorders proceed from derangement of the lymph or
the blood.
People cannot avail themselves of the benefit ex-
pected from outward conditions unless in a mental
condition to receive benefit.
Send out a thought which will place before the
mental eye of the student or patient a state which
expresses what you and he alike wish to see expressed.
We do not apply mental healing to physical dis-
ease, but to the mental disease which produces the
physical effect. No intelligent mental healer ever at-
tempts to treat people's bodies with his mind, but to
instruct them by a mental process in the science of so
thinking that their bodies must express outwardly the
harmony which is within.
We cannot successfully treat any part of the body
alone; treat the body as a whole, through the mind.


Mental Healing
Our contention has always been against specialism
in metaphysical treatment, because every part of the
body is related vitally with the whole. No matter
what the malady, you must deal with the human or-
ganism as a whole. No one can intelligently deal
with any part of the body without dealing with the
whole organism of which the organ is a part.
Do not treat, in any sense whatever, with a disease;
never deal with an eye, or an ear, or an organ, as a
part; but with the whole system, which includes the
seat of the abnormal function.
There is no occasion for any quarrel between physi-
cians and metaphysicians; the one is dealing with a
physical, the other with a mental condition. While
the metaphysician is dealing with our thoughts, the
physician is dealing with our physical systems.
There is not anything like the fanaticism in the
medical profession that is supposed to exist. Many
in it are acting in accordance with their best light.
The regular physicians-many of them are thor-
ough metaphysicians; a great many of them are true
psychical healers.
In metaphysics, the apparent evil is not called a
disease, but the result, the effect of a disease-mental;
in physics, it is called a disease.

Mental Healing
one devil out; and, as in the case of the event recorded
in the Bible, into the man out of whom one devil was
driven, seven others entered, so that the last state of
that man was worse than the first, so many other
devils—or diseases—come in to take the place of those
expelled. The vacuum left by turning out one devil
opens the way for more to enter.
The true spiritual scientist is not chiefly interested
in mere recovery or restitution, but in helping on-
ward the individual treated to a higher plane than he
had ever previously reached.
As we develop on to higher planes, we cannot be
susceptible to disorders as we were on lower planes.
Quite a few mental healers do a great deal of in-
jury, both to themselves and their patients, by false
beliefs of their own. -
The cause of our illness may be our false belief in
regard to the thoughts of people around us toward
ourselves.
If you have any ill-feeling toward any one, you
deserve to be ill.
You cannot enter into heavenly societies when you
are out of love to your neighbor. If there is any
hatred in your heart toward any being, you will be
ill—and you need the illness.

Mental Healing
methods are spiritual or metaphysical. What people
call disease is an effect or result of disease. If peo-
ple say their eyes are dim, that is not a disease; it is
the expression of a mental state of dimness. We
should not care to know what people commonly call
disease, because what they call disease is only the ef-
fect of disease. We care far more for the physician
who tells us how to get out of difficulty than for the
one who diagnoses the disease.
A good Chinese idea of the province of a doctor is
to pay him while the people are well, instead of when
ill. The true mission of the doctor should be to keep
people well, not chiefly to cure them when sick.
All the best teachers to-day, who are undertaking
to heal the sick, are steering clear of the old saying
that people are not suffering pain. They admit that
pains and sufferings exist, but claim that they are
only temporal and they are remedial. Just as soon
as we discover the law, and obey all its precepts, we
shall suffer not one more twinge of pain—not one
more pang of sorrow.
Our senses are not false witnesses when normal, but
they testify inadequately. We treat our senses as we
would witnesses on the stand; some can throw but
little light on the matter, others have more important
testimony to offer. We have to employ our intel-

TOT
INVERSION.
The present disordered state of society is shown by
the language of the people.
All error and seeming evil should be regarded as
inversion-like an angel standing on his head; as il-
lustrated by Swedenborg, in his description of the
"celestial” and the “infernal” standing feet to feet;
the celestial standing upright, the infernal showing
the inversion. All disorders are inversions.
Things are not good and evil in themselves; things
only appear evil when inverted or distorted. Every-
thing, when known for what it is, is assuredly good.
As man has within himself the divine element, so
he has also the element of animality within him; and
sometimes, he yields to the temptation of the lower,
which endeavors to dominate the higher; then he ex-
periences evil. When he gives place to the highest
within him, he knows only good. Very seldom do we
strike the golden chord of love to all mankind. At
one time, we are extremely altruistic; at another, in-
tensely egotistic. We are thus always contending
between emotions; we are between two fires, listening
to two voices. We hear the voice of God, and the


Glints of Wisdom
voice of the serpent. When we try to obey the two,
we produce confusion.
“Man shall not live by bread alone!” To merely
gratify the animal propensities is to live a starved
life. When the soul is starved, the body gets starved.
Unfed conditions of the soul produce wasting dis-
eases, nervous debility, anæmia. The only way to
conquer all this is to realize that the soul gets hun-
gry; the soul calls out for its dinner. You are feed-
ing your bodies all the time and often starving your
souls. When we come into harmony, we feed the
soul, and thus allow the soul its fair opportunity to
regulate the body.
A great many people honestly entertain the fallacy
that if they were to be thoroughly honest in their
business dealings, they would have to starve. Star-
vation or dishonesty is not the alternative. We can
carry out the Golden Rule in our business and social
relations, and be splendid social and business suc-
cesses. We do not say you can become a-several-
times-millionaire and do it; but you can be in per-
fectly comfortable circumstances.
It is not what a person believes, or what a person
intellectually adheres to or perceives, but whether the
mental window is open or closed. Health is the nor-
mal, disease an abnormal condition; instead of health
52


Inversion
being a rare acquisition, or very hard to maintain, we
find that animals—except in captivity-enjoy per-
fect health. An animal in captivity is in an abnor-
mal state, and hence, subject to illnesses unknown in
the natural state. We find birds ill, in cages; but we
have no reason for inferring that the same birds
would be subject to such ailments if free, in their
natural condition.
Natural instinct belongs to man as well as to ani-
mals; if we did not deny our normal instincts, we
would be well.
The health of civilized communities is vastly lower
than it is in savage states. But the theory that the
more highly intellectual people become, the poorer
their health, is to be denied, except as methods of
culture may be artificial and unnatural. If every
faculty of mind and body is strained to the utmost, if
nearly all the measures resorted to are abnormal, it
is not physiology, it is pathology that is accountable
for an enfeebled condition.
Education is conducive to health and strength.
Health is the normal play of all the faculties, and
education is a delightful stimulus to all the organism.
The natural, normal life, is a life where everything
is beautiful. So far as beauty is concerned, it is a

If you invite a person to go to the Father's house
before he is ready to go, the invitation lacks every-
thing of pleasure or profit to his mind.
We should never try to restrict others by what
agrees with ourselves.
We should remain insular, if we held narrowly to
one creed or cult. Every cult is too small, and every
creed too narrow. This is well shown in the meta-
phor of four persons going up the four sides of a
mountain. All were honest in their convictions, but
each travelling a separate path had, necessarily, a
different view; and each claimed that his particular
view was all there was to be seen. Argument and
dispute arose among those four short-sighted but per-
fectly honest people. The gift of seeing the four
sides of the mountain at one view is only enjoyed by
one who has reached the top. The one who has had
this wider experience—standing upon the height—is
able to look in all the different directions, and to see
where the various roads lead.
Criticise not, unless you wish to be criticised.
When you criticise a song, it is yourself that you
criticise. One critic interprets one way, another in-
terprets another way; they can only tell how it strikes
them. No one makes any progress in spiritual de-
velopment until he is perfectly willing to read all re-

views, but not to be guided by them. Never allow
anybody else's mind to act for you to the suppression
of your own.
One star (or sun) is of orange hue, another blue,
another red, and so on; yet all those suns are equally
beautiful, resplendent, magnificent. So is it with
flowers—so is it with trees, birds, gems. One differs
from another in its phase, not necessarily in its de-
gree of beauty. So, in human society, we find that
all gifts of the spirit are of equal value, and equally
interesting—if we know how to employ them aright.
One who has come into spiritual understanding has
no favorite flowers. Because you love the roses,
there is no reason why you should not also love the
lilies. A larger conception enables us to rejoice in
all the forms of beauty we behold in the universe.
They each have their own mission to fulfil, and we
must know ourselves in relation to all of them alike.
The greatest teachers have always been super-per-
sonal and super-systematic.
The perfection of a man differs from the perfec-
tion of a woman. There can be perfection in all
states. Perfection may go along from birth to ma-

We must stand for universal brotherhood and sis-

We maintain that man and woman are the joint ex-
pressions of the one super-personal God.
"I take great comfort in God," said Lowell. Peo-

There is a great deal of religious hysteria in the world
to-day. In all ages, there has been established prece-

There has always been a very large Cancer in the

Whatever is asserted is for investigation; all is for

It is not liberality to go down into the dirt because
your neighbor is down there; remain on the heights
yourself, and beckon him up. Don't try to get even
with people, but help them to get even with you; then
there will be two of you on the heights, instead of two
of you in the gutter.
All truth, all honor, if it is going to do any prac-
tical good, must go down among the “evil” and res-
cue them. How can we expect the annihilation of
evil—the reform of girls and women in all sorts of
horrible places—when we hold ourselves aloof? There
is no way to help these girls and women to rise to the

ideal of noble womanhood, except by going among
them and lifting them up.
If you associate with people on any plane, objec-
tive or subjective, who are below you in growth and
moral character, and you turn to them in blessing, in-
stead of their cursing you, you will do them good;
and you will never get any harm, as you will never
do anything but good.
Learn from the strong ones; give instruction to the
less advanced.
What is a temptation to one is not a temptation to
another; what is an attraction to one is not so to
another.
Put the right kind of temptation in people's way;
a temptation is not simply something you can com-
prehend with your bodily senses.
The best and highest treatment is to put spiritual
temptation to a nobler state within the reach of every
one.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
Do not think your altitude is your own special
property; it is to enable you to help others.

Deep down in the nature of every one there is a
settled conviction that it makes a person worse to call
him evil, and better to call him good.

The universal religion is the religion of science.
You may take seven different systems of religion-
they are all right, like the seven rays of the rainbow,
the seven tones in the musical scale-each right in its
own place; but no one of them can be the scale.
Every later revelation contains all the truth that
the older revelation embodied.
It makes no difference where the body is, Heaven
is as near to us in one place as another. It is only
when we come to know what it is to be regardless of
time, regardless of place to feel that one point is as
sacred and near to God as another—that we can real-
ize the truth.
No one will be one step nearer Heaven by going to
Egypt and meditating, as he walks down the “Ave-
nue of Sphynxes,” than by remaining at home and
realizing that Heaven is in the very locality where his
present action lies.
63


ALTERNATIVE.
It is only through the discovery of Universal Law
that we can know how to fulfil our desires.
When we are in universals, we are one with God;
when we are in personals, we are not in harmony with
God.
When we come into right relations with the interior
state, we shall always desire what is best for us.
We find ourselves, continually, in positions where
we are obliged to choose between two things, we can
have one or the other, but we cannot have both. This
goes on through life-this or that, but not this and
that. There will often come an opportunity for the
culture of the spiritual, or the material. If we put
the spiritual last we shall never secure any spiritual
development that is worthy of the name. But if we
say, “I will have the highest!" then we may draw
from the fountain of Spiritual Truth. The reason
why we cannot draw more from the spiritual world is
because we live so much in the external.
To bring children up not to depend on externals is
to bring them up to realize themselves as magnets for
spiritual realities.
04


Alternative
Those who desire it earnestly, become possessed of
the deepest secrets of Nature. This knowledge
comes to us when we give up the love of externals.
We become qualified for just what we set our
thoughts upon. If we regard externals as the chief
good, they will be the only things we can associate
with; we can keep our places just where we elect to
put ourselves.
Man's spiritual power is universal. Without this
spiritual power we should not be men and women.
Whatever a seer or prophet has done, some one else
can do. There is always possibility for further de-
velopment along the same lines
We shall be able, when spiritually developed, to
regulate ourselves through the law of natural selec-
tion. All normal, healthy human beings will,
through this law, select the very things that are best
for them.
You are spiritually well and strong; whatever is
best for you to have, that you will crave.
Wherever there is a great feeling of need there you
can always develop power; it is not easy to develop
power where there is no feeling of necessity.
The reason why so many people never receive any-
thing on the psychic plane is because they pay too
much attention to externals.

We can all have whatever we want in this universe.
Just as we vibrate, we can put ourselves into relation-
ship with whatever we wish. We can vibrate with it.
Everything says, “If you seek me with your whole
heart, you will surely find me" everything in the
universe! If you seek the higher spiritual develop-
ment, you can rise entirely above your present limita-
tions. Things cannot move you when you have at-
tained the power to move them. You must either be
the operator, or you will be the subject—in the affairs
of your daily life. If you say, “My circumstances
shall obey mel” you will control them. I never pro-
pose to get under any circumstance. Whenever a
circumstance comes up we must realize that we can
govern it.
Whenever you approach a summit, you are vibrat-
ing on a plane much above the ordinary. You have
to surrender on one plane to operate on another. It
is a question of choice or alternative. If the internal
is cultivated, the external is sacrificed. Whenever
we undertake to give to the higher and take from the
lower, it is a question of exchange. And this is our
idea of the true meaning of the word “sacrifice.” In
living a consecrated life the higher nature always
makes demands upon the lower; it is consecration, not
destruction. You do not destroy the body, but let
the spirit use the body as it will.
66


Alternative
You will have a good physical body as long as you
need one; then, there will be no unwelcome death-no
disease. Your transition will only be to you a state
of passage from one plane to another. You over-
come the fear of death. There will then be no unde-
sired death, no sickness. You are at once prefectly
at home in the spiritual world—no sense of bereave-
ment is possible to those who live now and always in
the realization of omnipresent life in spirit.
GOLDEN MOTTOES.
Things cannot move you when you have attained
the power to move them.
Man is the arbiter of his own fate.
The idea is a true and important one, that man
makes his own paradise, or his own sheol, here and

We do not have to be unsuccessful. We get what

Human will ought not to be considered as some-

Chastening
gether unjustifiable the desire to get rid of a little
of the responsibility of the wrong-doing, seeking to
excuse one's self. This Psalm shows the inevitable
results of the doing of a wrong; it is more explana-
tory than profoundly philosophical. It is to be re-
garded as something of a mirror, in which one can see
one's self. People can look at themselves, in the light
of literature, and see the relation between cause and
effect in human experience; if they will only reflect
how people feel in certain positions, they may avoid
similar evils.
In Isaiah we are told, that “The son shall bear the
iniquities of the father”; and, again, that he shall
not. “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap.” And yet, we are told that one person bears
the burden of another's sufferings. When we find
statements apparently so conflicting, are we not wisest
if we try to find the points of reconciliation in such
seemingly contradictory statements?
When we live on the spiritual plane, there are no
disasters for us; on the higher plane, so-called disas-
ters are but stepping-stones to further development.
We only require certain discipline until we have out-
grown it. Just as long as any good may be obtained
from dealing with what may be called the cross, the
cross looms up; but when the time comes that the cross
has fulfilled its mission, that cross becomes a crown.

Glints of Wisdom
The "world” which passes away, is not the planet,
but a state of society, etc. In a figurative sense, the
“sun shall be darkened and the moon turned to blood,"
is fulfilled in the spirit; it means a new order of
society. There is much misinterpretation of the in-
spired metaphor of the Scriptures. The “earth”
means the objective. “In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth.” Earth refers to visible
things; it is the natural showing forth the spiritual.
The expression, “the world is passing away,” is al-
ways used to signify an existing state of society in its
decline.
We would certainly say if any one is given to any
of the foolish interpretations formerly held, he had
better give them up. There will not be external ful-
filment of the prophecies, but a spiritual verification.
We are now on the verge of a new era.
MEDITATION.
The cross is transmuted into the crown. The trans-
formation of the cross into the crown is like the baser
metals being placed in the crucible; the dross is con-
sumed and the pure gold remains, purified by fire.

PERSISTENCE.
A dormant faculty remains dormant until some-
in thing.comes to call it forth. Those who are contend-
ed against, become strong.
· The very best thing that can happen to people is
when they are subjected to severe privations. Our
great minds, as a rule, come out of strong effort, and
out of much contention with what the world calls mis-
fortune.
It is looking back and turning back, getting dis-
couraged and disappointed, that hinders success; go-
ing on and on, persistently, is what makes for success
-dogged persistency. One may have much to battle
with; but by going on, steadfastly, we all shall suc-
ceed. Do not stop to fight the enemy. Go to sleep
whenever you wish to. But when you steadily hold
before you that one persistent consciousness that you
are a magnet to draw toward you whatever you will,
you will bring it to you.
Man's desire is an expression of man's potency;
every one can do what he desires to do. But the voli-

Our desires must be fulfilled through steady, con-
stant expectation. The desire must be firmly and
consistently held. It fulfils the law, “Every one that
seekest, findeth.” It is to ask for one thing definite-
ly, and then do everything with that one object and
expectation. Never permit anything to come be-
tween you and the fulfilment of your desire.
A teacher cannot give us ability, but can help us to
unfold our ability. Our desire is an evidence that we
have some talent for the thing desired. Never allow
yourself to become discouraged because your progress
seems slow; you must never take any notice of seem-
ing failure or defeat. Note only your successes.
And use ever to yourself, correct versus incorrect lan-
guage. It is exactly the same in regard to any prog-
ress; do not say, “I do not seem to make much prog-
ress,” but, “I am sure I do this a little better than I
did.”
Obstacles come to us to be conquered—to be over-
come; but any one who will stand aloof will gain noth-

Let the will remain where it is; the will is good

CONCENTRATION
The restless character is not the ideal character. In
order to develop general power, one has to learn to
work with one's mind.
Whenever you are afraid that you are going to lose
something, and are always troubling yourself about
it, you set in motion a destructive current of force.
We can do as we choose with our own faculties.
This is the first lesson in concentration. If you say
you cannot help it, you are a confessed creature of cir-
cumstance.
According to whatever you expect—whether you
will it so, or whether you will it otherwise shall it
be unto you.
Like attracts like; everything attracts its own kind,
throughout the universe. But there are those who
desire one thing and expect another; this explains why
many persons remain ill.
You can have anything you like in the universe
provided you set about attracting it in the right way.
Can you not make a mental picture of anything you
want? The first question is, Do you know what you
want? If you do not know what you want, no one

care about a thing, you do not want to get it. There
is not a person on this earth who really wants a thing
and cannot get it. The desire is that which attracts.
Make conditions for success by calling out mentally
whatever you wish to attract. You are a magnet to
attract it; it is entirely through the law of attraction.
“Wherever two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I in the midst of them.” Wherever
two or three are gathered together in any mental con-
dition, if joyful, they are a magnet to attract joy;
they attract whatever they concentrate upon.
Not in use, but in abuse, lies the injury of any fac-
ulty. Never make an unpleasant effort to produce
any effect. Doubt and fear and strainful effort
produce injurious effects. When people try to do
anything, they almost invariably fail to do it. Never
say “I'll try,” but say “I'll do it.” “I'll do it!” is
what conquers obstacles.
If a person wants anything, let him know that he
wants it and open himself to it. "I will have what I
want, because I want it,” is the attitude to take for
the accomplishment of anything.
When you wish a prophesy for your own life, go
into the sacred silence; don't ask anybody else, but
go into the depths of your own consciousness. When

you can go into the holy silence at will, then you will
soon become a genuine theosophist.
The way in which the highest knowledge comes to
us is the way it came to the early prophets; they went
away by themselves—they went into the wilderness.
If we have pure eyes and loving hearts, we can read
the book of Nature. There is meaning to every voice,
and a significance to every form.
The true condition is perfect rest, but continual
activity.
It is not the length of time we consume in doing
any work, but the amount of energy we throw into
our work that truly tells.
People who are always running about and trying
to accomplish a great deal, often accomplish very lit-
tle. Quiet industry is most effective.

There are those who are especially qualified for out-
ward kinds of work; there are those who are qualified
for esoteric action only.
We may find our places in the Signs of the Zodiac.
Not every one is qualified to be in the brain, or in
the eye, or in the tongue of the Grand Man. Some
must be in the hands, others in the feet. We are to
aim after organic harmony—a perfect organism.
We are perfectly in harmony with Nature when we
claim that there may be twelve manners of people—
as represented by the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac-
all correspondences to the different parts of the body.
We may also note fancied resemblances in people
to the different animals; thus, some people exhibit the
characteristics of the wolf; others show the traits of
the dog or the cat. (All this may tend to support the
theory that our lower selves have evolved through the
various stages of the animal kingdom.)
Desire to fulfil your own mission in life, whatever
it may be; then, when you take this ground, that you
will work for the good of humanity, you will find that
in these days, as in days of old, there is a Sinai. You
will find yourself on the hill, conversing with the
highest.

Learn to appreciate every one's gift, your own in-

you are called upon to do, what situation you are

in any. Many will say they cannot do the things they
are called upon to do. If any one feels in that way,
he should compel himself to do the thing over and
over, until he feels no aversion to it, and can do it well.
The words “gift” and “mission” have a universal
signification.
Every human being has a mission, a distinct des-
tiny. Some have missions which seem to elevate
them, in a certain sense, above others. There are

No one's work comes to an end because it has been

Always feel that if one thing goes away, you are
ready for something higher. Never say, “I have lost
something," but, “I have come to the end of a certain
period in my journey, what is the next thing for me to
do? What is the next good that is coming to me?”

Destiny
What has a beginning must have an end; what has
no beginning can have no end.
At this particular time, we are at the end of a cycle
-at the close of an age. It seems as though this con-
ception were in the air; every one seems to feel it.
But the majority of people fail to interpret the signs.
We are not yet in the new dispensation, but we are in
a period of what might be called interregnum. The
world is now passing through a narrow passage-way,
like the bar at the mouth of a river. The generally
instilled feeling everywhere says we are in a transi-
tional epoch. It is as people usually feel at a period
of house-moving—a great deal more than a simple
change, like going into some place or condition with
which we are not familiar; there is an element of mys-
tery. The unknown, even if it may be an unknown
blessing, is still dreaded; that is why there are so many
restless hearts and minds at present.
We hear it truly said, “There is a good time com-
ing!” We are in the dawn of the “Golden Age.”
We cannot tell how long it will last; a “thousand"
signifies a great number.
As all the baser metals are transmutable into gold,
so every cross that the world has borne is to be melted
into a crown. The cross becomes a crown through
transformation of energy.

It is the destiny of Columbia to lead the nations.
Every land is to become a Palestine. Think of the
territorial area of the United States! This is to be
the new nation! A new nation is being "born in a
day”-in the day when people can see the light, in a
period of light and universal illumination.
The Orient and the Occident shall join hands.
We believe there will spring up here (America will
take the initiative) a new dispensation of Light and
Truth to dawn upon the whole world.
The new order of things will not be born all at once;
it will come as a little child, but it will grow, continu-
ally increasing in wisdom and stature.
MEDITATION.
Every man is the arbiter of his own fate and the
shaper of his own destiny. There is a destiny in the
sense that there is a destination. The destiny of man
is involved in his nature.
· We must not believe in physical power as we do in
intellectual and moral power. Spirituality alone
justifies optimism. No finite step is a final step.
We should look upon our past lives as stepping-
stones to the higher lives we are to live. We rise
1; not the resurrection of the dead, but
from the dead is our blissful heritage.
82


Destiny
Nothing can go until the time has come for its de-
parture. You cannot destroy what has a message yet
to deliver and a mission yet unfulfilled.
The reason why some structures and some books
remain, while others are lost or destroyed, is because
they have something yet to teach. Nothing is de-
stroyed or lost until it has fulfilled its mission.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
Let us ever realize a Trinity of Love, Wisdom and
Use.


Heredity
Most people think it very wrong to tell a falsehood;
it is wrong, beyond a doubt, but a person may have
just as much a tendency to lying as to consumption or
cancer. If a person has a tendency to tell lies, he
ought to overcome it; then he must have the power to
overcome it. One cannot do what one is constitution-
ally unable to do. We must teach ability, or our
moral counsels, even the highest of them, are idle, im-
practicable vaporings.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
We are not bound by the law of heredity. All ten-
dencies can be encouraged and developed, or they can
be suppressed and overcome.


SPECIALTY.
Great specialists are not apt to be interesting to
people in general.
Information should be obtained upon all points,
but we have plenty of room for specialists. There are
certain qualifications, however, which are as necessary
for one as for another.
There never will be a successful worker in any field
who has not qualified himself for that special field.
We must understand our business. Whatever may
be the particular qualification one desires, one must
live for that work in particular.
To be specialists in any great line, we must concen-
trate our forces on that special line. If you want to
succeed in anything, you can become great wherever
you really desire to be great.
It is asked, “Is it not true that any scientific demon-
stration demands that one's life should be given up to
it?” If we desire to be eminent scientists in any
line, we must give ourselves entirely to our work.
We must be people of “one idea”; we must have one
central object. We may read all literature, and in-
terest ourselves in all arts and amusements, but we
must make everything subsidiary to the chosen end.

MEDITATION.
We rest by changing our occupation. But let peo-
ple cease to do anything, and think that idleness will
produce a cure, they will not find what they expect
but exactly the reverse of it.
When people talk about attracting whatever they
want, it is perfectly true; but they cannot want what
they have not potentially the means of procuring.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
Whatever is involved in any soul can be evolved
therefrom.
88


THE LAW OF ATTRACTION.
There is a Law of Attraction, which is absolutely
universal. Everything is a link to attract that which
is like itself. Thus one may be brought into relation
with all in Nature that is like unto the object upon
which one elects to concentrate.
Every individual is by nature a magnet to draw
from the universe what is needed to build up his own
organization. It is not for us to give up to others,
nor to ask others to give up to us.
Whatever comes into any building, or into any per-
son's individual sphere, comes because it is attracted
thereto through the Law of Attraction.
We hear of attraction and repulsion: the Law of
Attraction is the only law we recognize. There is in
reality no law of repulsion, though there appears to
be such a law. Everything follows the line of great-
est attraction, which is the line of least resistance;
thus it appears to us that there is repulsion, while
really there is only attraction.
Any limitation that anybody is groaning under
comes through the Law of Attraction.
Whether a person knows it or not, he gets whatever
he is in a condition to receive.
89


Glints of Wisdom
Many will say—“We came into the world with dif-
fering endowments.” That is not asking "How did
we come to be what we are? And from whence did
we get our tendencies?” Granted that you have any
desire, you can fulfil that desire through the operation
of the Law of Attraction; making yourself a magnet,
you can draw to yourself anything you want.
The action of this Law of Attraction is, that what-
ever we seek, we find. And, if two persons can be
found attracting the same conditions, they will have
precisely the same experiences-provided they are in
the same mental conditions.
We shall eventually know how to produce anything
in this world that we wish to produce.
Let people assert something, instead of attempting
to deny something; trust in the Law of Attraction,
not in the Law of Repulsion, conquers. No one need
suffer from a sense of neglect, nor through hyper-
sensitiveness from disappointment and heartache;
there is a cure for all this. When feeling sorrowful,
pronounce the words “Joy, joy!” Try this, it will be
found successful. Everything answers to its own
name. Everything responds to the name by which it
is known!
It is the Universal Law: “Call upon me and I will
answer!” This is universally true; it refers to the
90


The Law of Attraction
mental process, regardless of what our exterior sur-
roundings may be.
The Law of Attraction explains entirely the wis-
dom of prayer on a scientific basis.
When you follow the Law of Attraction, you are
drawn in a superior degree to a certain place; and if
you are at all versatile, you will be sometimes drawn
to one place, sometimes to another, but always to the
right place at the right time and in the right way.
You say a certain thought strikes you. Why?
Because you were in a condition to be struck. Un-
less you were in a condition to be struck, it could not
have struck you.

wrong on both sides; it is better to have it out with
the one who has injured you or wounded your feel-
ings.
It is entirely unnecessary that you should remain
abnormally sensitive.
No one can be too sensitive to spiritual influx of a
high order; but sensitiveness is wrongly interpreted.
People are sensitive on very different planes.
A negative state of disorder expresses itself in
weakness, debility—too little strength; a positive state
of disorder, in positive ailments.'
Unsatisfied is a purely negative state. Dissatisfied
is a different condition altogether. There are many
people who are both—confusion of condition. When
people are unsatisfied, a new hope, a new desire, a
new ardor is growing within them.
Very sensitive people, who are too negative, catch
diseases; why not catch something good?
Just as it can be definitely stated on the physical
plane, that certain requirements are necessary, so on
the mental plane, one's condition is all-important.
There is no law that will favor one more than it will
another. If one takes the “grippe" and another does
not, it stands to reason that if both have been exposed
to the same atmosphere, they are not in the same con-
dition.
98


Glints of Wisdom
then help the patient to get rid of it. We should
never allow ourselves to come under the influence of
a thing, because we see it.
“With God, all things are possible!” “All things
are possible to him that believeth.” Nothing shall be
impossible to such. When a man is working accord-
ing to law, all things are possible to him. If he ig-
nores the Law of the Universe, he will very soon find
that the Law of the Universe will have its own way
regardless of his opposition, and his opposition is
what will cause his own inevitable suffering.
There are people who take a decided, positive
ground, and affirm their own individuality truly, who
are never annoyed by outside influences. We must
be able to become positive and negative, at will. The
line should be drawn resolutely at interference or con-
trol of our individuality by any hypnotic influence.
MEDITATION.
Perfect equanimity, mental quiet, is essential to
read the Book of Nature. "Be still, and know that
I am God!” The mighty silence and waiting!
Blending of fearlessness and calm expectancy is es-
sential to genuine attainment in any direction.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
A person who has attained to the higher careless-
ness is the one who is ready for every emergency. .

Polarity
ATTAINMENT OF VICTORY.
If you gain a victory on any plane, that victory
stands you in stead for all future time. You have
risen superior; it is the rising superior to something
that is of use to us. If you rise in your own men-
tality and score a victory once, it is a growth that can
be employed for all time to come. Once gain a vic-
tory, and that victory is yours forever.
We can change at will the polarity of our own con-
dition. There is a scientific law of action, which can
be acted out by all who are industrious and fearless
enough to trust their intuitions.
One cannot be happy, harmonious or well, so long
as he allows the caprice of any being to make or mar
his harmony.
One who can hurt my feelings is above me, and will
not attempt to do so; one who would hurt my feelings
is below me, and cannot hurt me.
All feeling of mental uncertainty makes the sight
uncertain. Cultivate certainty within by finest medi-
tation.
101


HARMONIOUS VIBRATION.
Peace is from the heights above; discord is from be-
low.
We can make our surroundings tributary to our
needs; this is the Law of Harmonious Vibration.
Through the Law of Attraction we can get from
the universe whatever we need. We should so relate
ourselves with the universe that we can say with Paul,
“I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith
to be content.” How very few are the necessaries of
life! "High thinking, and plain living!”.
If people were living according to spiritual law-
understanding and obeying that law—they would be
able to change poisons, even, into harmonious food.
They would be able to so control the different ele-
ments taken into the system as to cause one element
to go to one place, and another to go to a distinct part
of the body; making different combinations. There-
fore, it would be possible if a person were highly
enough unfolded—to really convert usually harmful
substances into nourishing food; just as fertilizers are
put upon the earth, and serve to increase its fertility.
The elements are changed in their relations, through
102


Harmonious Vibration
There are just two courses of action which are safe;
to put ourselves in harmony with our surroundings,
and go with them, or to live outside of them. We
should never allow ourselves to go against anything
-never allow antagonism. There are many whom
we need not feel called upon to work with. Do not
have any hard feelings in regard to such; merely let
them alone.
Every body gets out of things just what he, as a
magnet, draws out of them. The ideal state is to be
able to relate ourselves harmoniously with everything
with which we must come in contact.
A very small act may be an indication of a condi-
tion.
Everything has its own rate of vibration.
The question is asked, “How can we learn the rate
of vibration of anything we desire, so that we can
vibrate with it?” It is not necessary to know the rate
of vibration, in order to come into harmonious rela-
tion with anything.
Whenever we put ourselves through sympathy en
rapport with anything, we vibrate with it—at the
same rate of speed.
Whenever you put yourself in relation with any-
thing in the universe, you can attract it. If you
105


Harmonious Vibration
The vibrations which give one pleasure may give
another pain.
One should never place one's self in an attitude of
antagonism, because this attitude always injures the
one who holds unlovely thought.
You can put yourself in harmony with anything by
mentally going with it; make yourself its friend, and
it will be your friend.
We are susceptible to the mental influence of those
we make heroes of, if we associate with them. We
can also relate ourselves with them, through the Law
of Vibration even in absence.
If you get into a mental condition which causes
more rapid circulation of the blood, the rate is in-
creased—the blood flows more freely. The mental
condition is the only thing to calculate.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
Will yourself into a serene mental state, and you
need never trouble about external things, as they will
all come right without your worrying.
107


TELEPATHY.
The Law of Vibration is the universal law. Vibra-
tions do not have to reach the tympanum of the phys-
ical ear. Acknowledge such a thing as telepathy-
thought-transference. Make yourself a magnet to
attract the special quality of thought you most de-
sire. You can be that magnet, wherever you may be;
it is a mental condition. Your circumstances do not
matter at all, provided the thought formed is always
held in the receptive attitude; but if you allow the
thought to intrude that something is a hindrance, it
will be a hindrance to you. By keeping the mental
magnet always firmly fixed, you will draw towards
you whatever you desire to attract.
Telepathy—the ability to produce mental action at
a distance may be developed by every one who will
patiently seek it.
The best time for sending a mental message is just
when you feel all aglow with it. Get into a condition
where you are full of a thought, then project it.
The ability to send and receive telepathic communi-
cations depends upon the development of the persons
—and, like everything else, it takes practice. Much
is lost by anxiety and striving for results.
108


Telepathy
You may not find your wires working perfectly, at
first; your cables may even break, until you have had
wider experience; but the time is coming when all
these difficulties will pass away.
Almost invariably, people put themselves into the
most uncomfortable attitudes when endeavoring to
give a mental treatment, or to send or receive a mental
telegram; instead of being perfectly easy and natural
about it, they are usually in an unnatural attitude, and
endeavor to force themselves into difficult positions.
The ability to work wonders is not through tech-
nical knowledge, but through psychical development
which produces a higher rate of vibration.
Those who are not yet developed to the point of be-
ing able to project their thought, for them there is
not any credible proof of the power of sending
thought long distances. Long-distance telepathy is,
however, abundantly proved by constant practice on
the part of the serene-minded.
Hold yourself firmly where you are; encourage
your perception to extend itself. Many people de-
velop hysteria by trying to get out in the astral body,
and do things they are not yet prepared for.
109


CORRESPONDENCES.
Everything external is the correspondence of some
internal condition.
Our own souls are in correspondences with Divine
Good—in each working out our own salvation.
This world is only a world of effects and corre-
spondences.
Christ builds his church upon the rock (Peter) of
intuitive perception of truth.
Jesus Christ means goodness and truth-goodness,
the love of right; truth, the knowledge of right.
"A stone for his pillow," signifies resting on the
rock of truth.
All external things are correspondences; sweet fruit
is a correspondence to some good within us, of which
it is the ultimate.
When a man is bald, it signifies, in correspondence,
that he has nothing to conceal, or that he is unable to
conceal.
In correspondent language, snow-white hair means
that one has come into a condition where, from good
and pure internals, one has come to express pure ex-
ternals.
110


Correspondences
There is the same adapted relation between the psy-
chical body and the psychical world that there is be-
tween the physical body and the material world.
Because the interior existence of all things is spir-
itual, the exterior existence may be spiritualized so as
to bring it into perfect conformity with the inmost.
There is a perfect analogy between subjective and
objective experiences.
The "white stone and new name written therein"
granted to those who are “sealed in the forehead,” is
the clear perception of truth which an individual en-
joys who has earned illumination through fidelity
under all provocation.


ASSOCIATION AND ORGANIZATION.
Association and organization are words vastly dif-
ferent in their signification. An organization must
be a perfect whole; a body having its different mem-
bers, each important in its place.

There is not a single religious organization that
does not in some way cramp its members. Can you
form a Spiritual Organization? If you can form a
spiritual organization without a material head, you
can obtain the most remarkable results.
Real spiritual work does not involve business man-
agement.
A company of people, attracted to each other by
the law of psychical affinity-held together in the em-
brace of true brotherhood and sisterhood—these might
meet, in each other's homes-no initiation fees—no
dues—such might attain true spiritual development.
If you come together with one accord, your purpose
shall be granted.
112


MEMORY
Loss of control over memory is a sign of insanity.
People strong mentally have good control over their
memories.
We do not ever forget, but something comes be-
tween our mental vision and the recollection of an ob-
ject.
No one ever forgets anything. Instead of endeav-
oring to strengthen memory, we must undertake to
gain an adequate, where we now have a very insuffi-
cient command over our memories.
Take the mental attitude, “I will remember what-
ever I will to remember.”
Will the memory of our follies remain forever?
No; not when we have overcome them. The sight of
evil is our penalty; if we create discords, they will ring
in our own ears. We should endeavor to interpret
the doctrine of Karma broadly. If I make a discord
in my own psychical sphere, that discord rings in my
own ears—just as our individual environment is of
our own making. If I throw into my own individual
sphere that which makes me suffer, I need to change
my own state. Outside things are well enough; we
113


Glints of Wisdom
must change ourselves inwardly before we can rightly
relate ourselves to any surrounding.
There is a universal Book of Remembrance, where
everything is recorded. This volume is the inter-
stellar atmosphere.
"Absent-minded” expresses many a case exactly;
absent-minded here, present-minded somewhere else.
Our objective and subjective entities are not fully
connected on this plane of existence, and until they
are, remembering and forgetting must perpetually

impenetrable, like a rhinoceros' hide. Karma is made
manifest by their different degrees of susceptibility.
Their Karma cannot be interfered with!
One person may require treatment, another may be
able to give treatment to others; there, again, is a
manifestation of Karma. The susceptibility to dis-
ease shows an evidence of Karma. Again, we see an
evidence of Karma in susceptibility to temptation.
We have the power to call out from those easily influ-
enced any phase of character we will. The Karma of
different individuals is made manifest by these vari-
ous degrees or conditions.
If persons come to you who are capable of being
helped in any way, don't leave them to their Karma!
It is your Karma as much as theirs that has brought
you together. If you help them, you are not only
making good Karma for yourself, but helping them
also to make good Karma for themselves. Do not
leave people to their fate! The most pestilential doc-
trine is that of leaving people to their Karma. No
one is making anything that could be called good
Karma unless he is doing all he can to uplift human-
ity. The wave of mental influence that goes to help
others, must help one's self also.
Resignation to a supposed inevitable condition-if
a person is suffering from anything on the plea that
116


Karma
it is his Karma, merits no sympathy whatever.
When bad Karma makes itself manifest; the way to
get rid of it is to work in some good Karma.
All talk about souls dying out, or losing a soul, is
mediæval rubbish! The doctrines of Karma, and of
reincarnation can be stated in such a manner as to
prove acceptable to all deep thinkers. The real doc-
trine is, that every human soul has a history. If there
are cannibals on earth to-day, they will rise to the
heights we have attained; we shall never go down to
their level, but they will rise to ours. We may have
been where they now are. We never go down in the
scale of development. When we speak of the evolu-
tion of mankind, we mean that the human race is con-
tinually rising. We hold that individual man rises
as the race rises, that each has a past which has led up
to his present.
When the soul seeks another expression on earth,
Karma will cause it to seek those parents appropriate
to its further development. Choice manifests our in-
telligence; choice is one thing, freedom of choice is a
growing quantity.
It is not at all strange that souls should precipitate
themselves into very disastrous surroundings. That
the soul to be reincarnated has the opportunity of
117


Glints of Wisdom
choosing its own environment, and deliberately makes
choice of its parentage, is the doctrine promulgated
by many wise minds. Mistakes are made again and
again, through inexperience. There will be final tri-
umph over these obstacles. Every one rises by grad-
ual stages to the accomplishment of noble results.
On the basis of Astrology, a person born at a cer-
tain time will have certain opportunities peculiar to
himself; those opportunities may be embraced, or not,
as the individual may elect.
There is such a thing as relative human freedom.
Some say it is not right to interfere with Karma.
Karma cannot be interfered with, because it is the law
of cause and effect.
If we make our Karma, we can unmake it. To af-
firm that a person cannot turn around and make good
Karma appears ridiculous.
Those people are entitled to no sympathy who say,
if their Karma has brought them into the pitiful con-
dition in which they now are, they will have to wait
for it to work itself out, for it is only their own activity
that can relieve them.
If you have a bad tenant in your house, you must
get him out.
118


Karma
Every one has it in his power to repair the damage
done by himself. No human act is irrevocable, but he
who did the deed is the only one who can undo it.
Evil deeds are only overcome by good deeds.
119


EMANATIONS.
Every one throws out a psychical and a physical
magnetism—and must, just as flowers, throw out
their odors.
We can produce such a chemical change in our or-
ganism, by improved thought, that it can be detected
by those around us.
Every one gives out a psychic force, and that force
penetrates everything he touches.
When people gather in any place, they produce a
psychic condition therein, which can be felt by all
sensitives.
Man is constantly evolving that which is within
him. The very atmosphere is being saturated with
our emanations; everything is permeated with the
flux of our mentality. We are giving character even
to the utensils which we employ; and, go where we
will, we are constantly characterizing everything with
which we come in contact.
How do we give out our psychic emanations? In
the same way that we breathe, in the same way that
we perspire. Different people give out different
120


Emanations
emanations; and the same people give out different
emanations at different times. Your emanations can
be analyzed. One in a sensitive condition can detect
emanations-just as when we come in contact with
the perfume of a flower.
Decisive people give out distinct emanations. Ac-
cording to the individuality is the force of the emana-
tion like the odors of flowers, differing in quality
and degree.
We, every one of us, endow even inanimate things
with psychical influences; there is such a thing as a
virtuous pocket-handkerchief. You can throw some-
thing of your goodness into your apron, so that oth-
ers who may chance to wear it will feel the influence.
Some of our psychical force goes into all the things
we touch.
By our thoughts—by our atmosphere we can con-
secrate the very air of our dwellings, and make them
abodes of blessing.
People in the best thought have only to go into a
room, to consecrate it.
Every thought we think in any place influences
more or less the atmosphere of that place, and, to
some extent, influences every one who comes into it,
according to the degree of sensitiveness of the person.
121


Emanations
We can endow whatever we touch with a psychical
quality which we impart to it; and this psychical qual-
ity can be imparted by the administerer to the re-
ceiver. A great many people are healed through
these agencies.
It is this psychic faculty which has made it possible
for the performance of the cures ascribed to shrines,
amulets, magnetized paper, and fetiches of every sort.
People are influenced by both the mental and phys-
ical emanations which others have thrown into these
receptacles.
Every person gives out a psychical emanation,
which is the direct result of his present condition.
On the spiritual plane, one who is living in the
higher thought constantly, projects that thought
continually—just as beautiful flowers give out the
fragrance which properly belongs to them. But you
cannot get the odor of a rose from an onion. Aura
partakes of the chemical constitution of the individ-
ual, exactly as in the case of a flower. It is just so
on the plane of thought—one must be something in
order to do something; and being what he is, he does
what he does. You simply give out what you have
within—the result of what you really are.
We always get our best thoughts most readily in
123


Glints of Wisdom
tranquil places where people have thrust out good or
wise thoughts.
MEDITATION.
We give out whatever we possess; we cannot help
it. Our emanations must be in accordance with our
centre. We do not lose anything or become depleted
by giving out emanations, for we receive on the one
hand as we give on the other.
124


THE REAL EGO—ATMA.
There are four distinct planes of life: the sensual,
the intellectual, the moral and the spiritual.
In the region of sense-consciousness, man lives &
physical life; a well-ordered physical life is proper, on
the physical plane.
There are two distinct elements manifested on all
planes of human nature; the one the emotional, the
other the intellectual; both of which need to be taken
into account.
What is life? We are not inquiring What are
lives? but What is the one life? and how may we dis-
cover it? Man is to reveal his soul. The soul is
within, but is capable of unlimited expansion. The
spirit cannot be put into man, but must be brought out
of him. It is not as though the Holy Spirit were a
surgeon, going to perform a surgical operation and
take an old heart out. Within the old nature of the
man is to be found the new. Like the evolution of
the butterfly from the grub.
I shall never find all there is to find in my soul-
in this stage of existence.

will find it is simply your own higher self.

and destroy shapes, but man has no power over form
-either to produce or annihilate it.
Form itself is eternal, immortal; and the corre-
sponding shape answers more or less perfectly to that
form.
Things which are unseen by the mortal eye are
easily seen by the eye of the spiritual body. Things
unheard by the fleshly ear are clearly heard by the
spiritual ear.
If people would only study the interior meaning
of things, they would greatly improve their phrase-
ology.
The human structure renews itself from within.
When our work on this plane is completed, we shall
pass away; not that you will be obliged to go, your
body will not be taken from you. There will be no
ravaging disease, no pain; you will simply let your
body go. It will be immediate yet tranquil disinte-
gration.
There is no such thing as a separation of principles
at physical death. Death simply means dropping
the material body. Death to old conditions and birth
to the new, is a change which may take place in this
world—a death unto carnality and birth unto spirit-
uality.
128


The Real Ego–The Atma
There is no separation of principles in reality, but
the transmutation of the lower into the higher. The
moment we can see that there is a transformation or
transmutation of the lower into the higher, we have
solved the mystery, we have overcome death!
There is no essential difference between the condi-
tion of the spirit after dropping the body and the
sleeping condition every night. If we could but un-
derstand what we do when we are asleep where we

According to the teaching of electrical physiology,
the germ of our organization does not change; it
vitalizes the new organization, which will be made up
of new combinations of elements.
All that is necessary to restore a person to health is
to arouse the electrical germ to activity. A person
in a state of perfect health-in what condition is he?
The electrical germ at the centre of his being is so
active that it fully vitalizes the whole system, and
then life overflows; the individual is so vitalized, so
electrified, that he radiates life wherever he goes. He
is in a harmonious electrical condition. If such a one
comes into your room, he will leave his psychical
emanations there—wherever he has stopped, upon
whatever he has touched. You feel much stronger

than before, much brighter and more cheerful, after
the visit of such a person.
One who lives according to Divine Law, must have
this overplus of vitality, and therefore is a spontan-
eous healer.
MEDITATION.
Man, while a unit, manifests on many different
planes.
"King of Salem” means he who rules in Peace.
No one can attain to this peace until he has found his
soul.
Our own soul is God's messenger in us!
Do as God tells you in your own soul! Take any
question—no matter how trivial the inquiry may be
-into the silence, and receive the Divine response.
As people come more and more into the presence of
their own higher selves, they will know where to find
a counsellor and advisor, at all times.
A man must get acquainted with his own soul be-
fore he can be truly influential. One who does this
can discover how to live in divine harmony in all
conditions.
Every psyche can take care of its own body if left
to its work uninterruptedly.

DREAMING TRUE.
In dreams and visions to-day, as in olden times,
man may see what is before him. Any one may be
as Joseph.
But anybody can dream—anybody can have a
vision, like Pharaoh and his butler and baker—they
could dream, but knew not the meaning thereof.
Joseph not only could dream, but was able to see the
interpretation of his own dreams, and theirs also.
Some will say, “If a deluge is coming, what good
does it do for us to know it? Are we benefited by
crossing bridges before we come to them?” Such
reasoning is no reasoning at all: it is specious fallacy
and mere sophistry, for there is no analogy.
In regard to the approaching seven years of scar-
city: during the seven years of plenty, enough might
have been saved up to last the nation through the
years of famine; all might have made the same pro-
vision that Joseph did. This is a pictorial lesson of
vast import.
The state of dreaming is an evidence of man's psy-
chical consciousness. While most of us dream false
or imperfectly, there are some who dream true; we all
dream true occasionally.
182


Dreaming True
We are magnets! Take a mental bath every night
before going to bed. Put away from you everything
that could be a magnet to attract what is bad or un-
pleasant.
The mind in a chaotic condition will cause confused
dreams. One needs to be in a perfectly healthy,
well-balanced condition, to be able to dream true
not dreaming of missing trains, and a good deal else
that is hysteria.
You cannot get into a condition for dreaming true
until you are in peace and harmony with all around
you.
Instead of always jumping to the conclusion that
people you misunderstand are unkind, calmly ask for
an explanation; when you do this in a quiet, calm
way, errors may very often be explained away. This
calm, quiet attitude prevents great misery.
It is a most dangerous thing to go to bed having a
good cry over some grief or misunderstanding, draw-
ing all the depressing influences that such a state
must needs attract. The best way is to have an un-
derstanding-clear the atmosphere; sometimes it
takes an electrical storm to do this.
Thinking that people wish to injure us is usually a
135

symptom of hysteria. Hysteria is the high road to
insanity.
If cats keep one awake, his mental state is not very
far developed. We should not throw a boot-jack at
the cats, but throw it at ourselves—mentally
By placing ourselves en rapport with any thing or
any place we choose to select before going to sleep,
we can draw to us during sleep the influences which
we desire to relate ourselves with.
A dream, ordinarily, is not a vision. A dream is a
reflection; whatever we dream or image, we reflect.
A true dream is a true reflection, while a false dream
is a false reflection. The original meaning of a
dream was “a vision of the night”—not what people
US
brance
usually call 'dreams in their present ignorance.
Vision means a sight of something. We may have
visions in the night-and also in the day, when we are
awake. There is undoubtedly a distinction between
a dream and a vision. Now, what is a dream? There
is actually a dream-life. We travel while we sleep.
We may travel, or remain stationary where we are;
but we can become related to anything we choose hy
concentrating our thought steadily upon it.
Man is capable of living in other worlds during
sleep.
136


Glints of Wisdom
a journey, but resolve to relate yourself with what
you wish to know. We can relate ourselves with
anything in the universe; but full expectation must
go with this effort.
At night, we have withdrawn from the ordinary
occupations of the day. That simple withdrawal
gives us a chance to contemplate spiritual things,
causes us to be receptive to the spiritual; it is thus
that people have experiences during the night, which
they do not have during the day.
In regard to going to sleep in order to see one's
self in some other position or plane, it is sometimes
asked, “Why do we not see the angels during the day,
as well as during the night?” Why do we not see
the stars during the day?
When we speak of regulating our dreams, we
must always recollect that we cannot govern every-
thing at first-on a psychic planeas long as we are
living here on the material plane in states of compara-
tive bondage.
We have first to gain victories over things lying
nearest to us.
We can get anything during sleep by holding for
it before going to sleep-persistently. People may
relate themselves, on the psychical plane, to the very

188


Dreaming True
sources of knowledge, and so absorb information at
night that they can use it by day.
Knowledge during sleep soaks into one, as it were.
It starts with the interior and works out if not inter-
rupted, to the extremest plane of objective conscious-
ness.
These things which are taken into the subjective
entity during sleep may not be apparent to the outer
consciousness at first, but they will come forth as they
are needed.
Many things are not remembered on the objective
plane, but the effect of our having undergone an ex-
perience is just as real, whether we have any recollec-
tion of it, or not. This is true in relation to true
dreaming, when consciousness is functioning on the
psychical plane.
“We are such stuff
As dreams are made of, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.”
189


PSYCHICAL UNFOLDMENT.
Anybody can develop the psychic temperament
who chooses. Some people are born with a much
greater development than others, but it is embryotic
in us all. We all have it potentially, but to express
it is a matter of unfoldment.
There are far more distinct temperaments than are
usually regarded; very few people understand the
psychic temperament. The psychic temperament is
peculiar to itself; it is one which has to be judiciously
cultivated, in order to get the best effects. It is the
temperament which is necessary for unusual success
along psychical lines.
It requires some development of the psychical
faculty to give mental treatments. The ability to
give mental treatments successfully is a result of
growth or development.
Some children are born with the psychical faculty
developed to a marked degree. People who possess
this temperament are usually considered highly nerv-
ous; but their nervousness is normal, not abnormal.
It is simply that their nerves are unusually active;
they may be highly strung. This unusual sensitive-
140


Psychical Unfoldment
ness may prove either a blessing or a curse. If it is
physiological, it is a very great blessing; if patholog-
ical, it is a curse. The rate of vibration with such
people is decidedly higher than the average; their
pulses beat more quickly; their blood circulates more
rapidly. If you take the temperature of the body of
a person of the psychical temperament, you find the
temperature and pulse above the normal standard.
The pulse beats quickly, yet the person is perfectly
well; it is not a pathological condition, it is purely
physiological.
It has been proved that some psychics can play
tricks—for the sake of experiment—with their own
pulse, putting it up very much higher than usual, and
also putting it down below the normal rate with them.
The development of the psychic faculty is of the
utmost importance to the human family, because it
can show us the inside of things we come in contact
with. It teaches us to be utterly unprejudiced; not
to judge from appearances in reading people, but
through discernment of interior qualities.
Woman, from her introspective position, has had
more opportunities to unfold her psychical power than
man; this explains why she has come to the front, in
many directions at the present time.
141


Glints of Wisdom
Woman's function of maternity gives her a psychic
development that man does not naturally so soon un-
fold, owing to his different capacities.
The opening up of the psychic faculty is sure to
take place naturally when one is truly individualized.
When we come into realization of our psychic
power, we will find it only the intensification of pow-
ers already possessed.
The more we trust in any faculty the more we un-
fold it. Allow the faculties to grow and increase
naturally and normally, in the same way that every-
thing in nature appears and develops.
Instead of looking upon what we call psychic en-
dowments and spiritual gifts as the property of the
few, these will be revealed in the majority, in times to
come. What are now called exceptional psychic en-
dowments will become universal. Psychical endow-
ments belong to the race, they pertain to humanity;
but such powers need, as seeds require, opportuni-
ties for development.
The psychical element in man is as natural as the
physical vision, or taste, or smell, or touch.
The masses of people do not need special psychic
gifts. Those who are satisfied without them do not
142


Psychical Unfoldment
need them; but just as soon as we desire psychical
powers, then we require them.
There comes a time when these gifts within us stir
themselves; they make themselves felt.
If psychical perception becomes universal, it will be
of no use for any one to tell an untruth, because no
one will be deceived by it. And it will be exactly the
same in any endeavor to palm off the false for the
true, in any case. Forgery, therefore, will be a lost
art.
The modus operandi of psychical development is
exactly similar to that of physical development-con-
stant use, but never over-exertion. Never strive to
do work that is too difficult; no straining of the facul-
ties, but constant use and steady thought, fixity of
purpose. Sight unfolds through recognition and ex-
ercise. Even physical sight may be brought to phe-
nomenal functioning by recognizing the gift-allow-
ing it to develop by constant use and expectation.
All the physical senses may be largely developed
by training, even to a phenomenal degree.
But, in all culture, there must be no strain after
arduous effects; the moment of strain results in in-
jury.
143


Glints of Wisdom
The psychic faculty unfolds wherever it has the
opportunity to do so. The power is within every
one; so there is no process for acquiring it, but there
is a process for unfolding it.
Many people organize what they call “developing
circles.” They “sit” together, holding each other's
hands; and expect—by some kind of physical contact
-to develop some special spiritual gift. They are
looking for the so-called psychical phenomena, which
are producing so profound an impression upon many
minds of the present age. But we find, to-day, that
the more intelligent people who are interested in psy-
chical research, are dispensing with extraneous
methods. The gift merely needs to be permitted to
unfold.
Permission to unfold the psychic faculty is what
every natural child wants when that child demands
mental liberty.
We do not recognize any danger in seeking psychic
development. There is no danger when we learn to
discipline our forces. But it is better to get beaten
once in a while than never to obtain knowledge.
There is danger in being prompted by an unworthy
motive; and that is all the danger there is.
By deliberate cultivation of the psychic power, one
144


Psychical Unfoldment
can do a greater amount of work with a smaller
amount of energy.
Whenever you endeavor to unfold any psychical
power within you, put yourself into the easiest atti-
tude possible. There is no need of making any ef-
fort. Do not take any strained mental attitude.
Wearing too much clothing, or anything which
binds or presses, wastes the forces or prevents their
harmonious outflow.
It is not what we do, in the sense of our occupation,
but it is the frittering away of our forces which
wearies us. Some people are always moving their
hands or their feet. This occasions loss of psychic
power, shows an abnormal state of the mind, depletes
the psychic force.
It is certain that one can give undivided attention
to only one thing at a time.
We are not conscious of the subjective life going
on all around us, when engaged with our usual avo-
cations.
On the psychical plane, we cannot be judged by
our dress, or by any external appearance.
As the universe expands to us, we shall enjoy all
we have already had, and vastly more added. As our

MEDITATIONS.
We carry onto the psychic plane exactly what we
encourage and foster on the material plane.
When a man is unfolded on the psychic plane, the
powers he has heretofore possessed become infinitely
expanded.
Every spiritual endowment is just as naturally the
right of mankind as intellectual or physical endow-
ments.
Every man who truly seeks it shall find the mystic
key, whereby he can cause the spiritual gate within
him to turn on its hinges and reveal to him his real
immortal selfhood.
It is of no use for anybody to attempt to use psy-
chic power until he is truly individualized. When
you are truly individualized, you have realized that
you dare to go directly to the heart of the universe -
directly to the Infinite Spirit
As long as one submits to any form of tyranny, one
cannot become truly psychic, much less spiritual in
the higher sense.
All processes are mental; all victories are mental,
and all defeats are mental. That cause which ap-
148


Psychical Unfoldment
pears material can be at most only a secondary cause.
Accompanying phenomena should not be confounded
with consequent phenomena.
There is no use in trying to force anything until its
time comes. When the hour for anything strikes the
will to procure it is present.
149


SPIRITISM.
Clairvoyance and clairaudience have always been
conspicuous among those who were prophets. Clair-
voyance may cover nearly all the territory of spirit-
ualism.
It is not probable that spirits on higher planes know
anything about our material conditions, but they read
our thoughts.
When people endeavor to become mediums—as
generally understood—the manifestations they re-
ceive may be genuine, but they try to get the spirit
world to come down to their state, not to bring them-
selves to a higher plane. The higher spiritualism is
the reverse. Only the lower spiritualism is trying to
bring the spirits down to the earth plane. Instead of
trying to get the spiritual to manifest to the senses,
we should endeavor to ascend—not asking the spirit-
ual world to descend.
The lower spiritualism
is merely catering to our
senses.
The most truly spiritual persons never get any
physical manifestations whatever, never see anything
with the material eye.
150


Glints of Wisdom
Beware how you have any dealings with the “famil-
iar spirits” of self-seeking persons. The expression
“familiar spirits” is a very significant one. This is
applicable where the motive is money, or other un-
worthy object.
Speaking of “obsession,” it is because people ac-
knowledge everything but the universal spirit of
good that they are subject to obsessions.
It is not to be denied that the phenomena of obses-
sion are genuine. We believe the accounts in the
Bible—that undeveloped influences were present and
that Jesus and his apostles turned them out. But
the cause for any such experience is nothing but false
belief. The recognition of truth is the only antidote.
Supposing one is very sensitive or mediumistic,
why cannot such an one polarize himself, so that he
will draw toward him always the good? Right polar-
ization is most important in mediumship.
Let people place their confidence in the good and
in the true. This is what everyone must do in order
to put himself into right relationship with the uni-
verse.
Divided attention has a great deal to do with all
unpleasant psychic phenomena. When we put our-
selves into the subjective condition with the deliber-
152


Spiritism
ate intention of gaining knowledge, it will come to us.
You have only yourself to blame if you have dis-
agreeable influences around you; you can keep only
what you attract. ·
It is not to be understood, however, that these in-
fluences might not still be in your vicinity; they could
be near that you might teach them.
We are sure that there are individual communica-
tions with spirits as we are sure of anything.
MEDITATION.
If people are spiritually developed, they cannot be
deceived; when holding for the truly spiritual and
nothing else.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
We cannot conceive an idea of a state of life that
is not expressed somewhere.
153


ELECTIVE AFFINITY.
Once grasp the Law of Elective Affinity, and the
cause of spiritual phenomena will be clearly under-
stood.
We do not usually come into psychical relation
with things, but with people; and we may often see
objects surrounding the persons in psychical relation
with us.
We may not be able to put ourselves en rapport
with mere things, but with persons who may be in cer-
tain places, at certain times; and through our har-
mony with them we can become familiar with their
surroundings.
We should endeavor to put ourselves in relation
with some person and go with him, when we wish to
see a certain place, or obtain certain knowledge. It
is one human being en rapport with another human
being, not a man with an inanimate object. This
rapport may be entirely unconscious or involuntary
on both sides.
Two persons may be in natural affinity, like two
harps attuned together; if one is struck, the other
responds. This sympathy or affinity is not the re-
164


AURAS–PSYCHICAL ENVIRONMENT.
Most people when they talk of environment, sur-
roundings, and circumstances—which all mean the
same—refer to these things as something over which
they can exercise no control, as governing factors in
their lives. You can make your own environments,
surroundings and circumstances. You are surround-
ed with a psychic envelope which is primarily your en-
circling habitation.
The aura belongs to the individual just the same as
feathers belong to a bird.
U
It is the particular aura of the individual that con-
ditions his work. If you know how to generate an
aura, you can go to work and generate any circum-
stance you please.
You can bring into your daily life the things and
places you will, if you go out on the psychical current.
You will find many circles, many planes of existence.
When you get onto a plane above your ordinary one,
your soul is at home on that plane; to the psychical
faculty that plane is real and seen.
If you allow yourself to go out onto the psychical
current–if you go naturally—you will feel a great
156


Auras—Psychical Environment
Just as we can take what suits us from the differ-
ent kinds of food placed before us, so we can draw
from the atmosphere the kind of emanations suited to
our various needs.
Any one can choose his own surroundings, on the
psychic plane.
There is a spiritual world in which we are now liv-
ing. When we are concentrated upon any special
object, we are oblivious to all other objects for the
time being. There is a scientific reason for this which
immediately suggests itself to the reflective student.
MEDITATION.
Whatever we want is a little more than what we
already have something that if we did not have it
within us, we should not conceive of.
The moment people undertake to make their own
world, they can have any kind of a world that they
like, for one's own world is a surrounding atmos-
phere, a portable environment.
GOLDEN MOTTO.
The reality of everything is spiritual.

There lie many gems of eloquence, many sparkling rays of genius,
many practical thoughts and expressions, which if brought to the
surface would prove of essential service to the Craft. These val-
uable treasures should not be left to lie in the rubbish and be
covered with the dust of ages and forgotten. These writings of
the wisest and best Masonic scholars, words of wisdom expressed
by men of age and experience, ought to be garnered into store-
houses where all can have access whence to draw “more light”
to illuminate the pathway of the worker in the Masonic quarries.
A library of rich treasures of Craft literature, would prove of
essential benefit to the seeker after knowledge, and would be to

‘JAMES ALLEN'S BOOKS.
A Foreward. "I looked upon the world, and saw that it was
shadowed by sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffer-
ing- I looked for the cause, but could not find it until I looked
within, and there found both the cause and the self-made nature
of the cause. I looked again, deeper, and found the remedy I
found one Law, the Law of Love; one Life, the Life of adjust-
ment to that Law; one Truth, the Truth of a conquered mind and
a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of writing a book
which should help men and women, rich or poor, learned or un-
learned, worldly or unworldly, to find within themselves the source
of all success, all happiness, all accomplishment, all truth: And
the dream remained with me, and at last became substantial, and
now I send it forth into the world on its mission of healing and
blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail to reach the homes and
hearts of those who are waiting and ready to receive it."
As a Man Thinketh. Inspiring and helpful “New Thought.”
The Path of Prosperity. A way leading out of undesir.
