FOPwEWORD. 
 
 This book deals with some of the simple 
 laws of the universe and explains some of 
 the mysteries mankind has been searching 
 for. By drawings and pictures some of the 
 laws we are using unconsciously every day 
 are made plain so that we can profit by the 
 knowledge gained. 
 
 Where no law is there is no sin. Paul 
 says "Sin shall not have dominion over you 
 for ye are not under the law, but under 
 grace." You must recognize the principle 
 involved to get practical results. Every 
 thought of doubt produces negative results. 
 
 This book is offered to suggest a new 
 line of reasoning or investigation where- 
 by its readers may learn more of the law 
 and get a better understanding of that truth 
 spoken of by the Nazarine which would set 
 them free. 
 
 Before you can successfully use a law 
 you must understand something of its na- 
 ture, therefore it is natural to ask what is 
 impulse? Impulse is the vicious manifesta- 
 tion of mind at war with itself. It is 
 
10 FOREWORD 
 
 neither reason, instinct or intuition, but 
 is forceful energy expressing itself un- 
 der planetary influences without the use 
 of any of the above. 
 
 People have absolutely no self-control 
 when swayed by impulse. They do a thing 
 and then ask themselves what they did it 
 for; why did they do it? 
 
 Impulse often expresses itself in various 
 ways and may be accounted for as the 
 accumulation of substance from vicious 
 thought expressing itself. 
 
 Impulse is more often wrong than right, 
 for people with thought that will benefit 
 all of humanity have such self control and 
 poise that impulse plays a very small part 
 in their lives. They do not cultivate it. 
 
 Impulse is purely a product of the phy- 
 sical, the same as instinct is of the mental, 
 and intuition of the spiritual. 
 
 What is instinct? 
 
 Instinct cannot reason but may be man- 
 ifestation of the reasoning or mental mind, 
 mind. 
 
 The Bible speaks of it as the beast mind, 
 for it is that part of mind animals use. 
 Instinct in animals or man has been placed 
 
FOREWORD 11 
 
 there by the reasoning power of man. 
 
 Instinct is inherent in the soul and func- 
 tions in the subconscious mind. Its great 
 charge is the welfare of the body and self- 
 preservation is its great concern. In time 
 of peril it grasps means of rescue; it uses 
 all instrumentalities at hand and all the 
 acquired and natural knowledge possessed to 
 achieve desired results. Ultimately it is 
 manifested in walking, and talking, and in 
 the performance of all acts, good or bad. 
 It is not a reasoning faculty, though in 
 most part the product of reasoning, for it 
 may be educated and developed by con- 
 scious thinking and habitual practice. 
 
 Instinct is the expression of mind by 
 which we walk, talk and perform the acts 
 both good and bad that our reasoning has 
 gathered for us to express. 
 
 What is intuition? 
 
 One writer has expressed it as being God. 
 
 The gambler calls it "his hunch". 
 
 Emerson called it the "Oversoul". 
 
 Socrates was not less known in antiquity 
 for what he called his "Daemon" or Genius 
 than for the wisdom of his philosophy, and 
 his Daemon never induced him to do any 
 
12 FOREWORD 
 
 thing, but on the contrary prevented him 
 when he listened to its promptings. He also 
 called it the "Voice of the Soul" and 
 when the "Voice" did not come to him 
 in his trial, he made no defence and thought 
 it was good that he put off his mortal body ; 
 for the voice that is neither argumentative 
 or insistent had been his guide all through 
 life and it failed to show him what defence 
 to make. 
 
 Intuition is spiritual, not mental. It 
 is the voice of spirit again bringing to your 
 consciousness that which you knew of old. 
 It is the act of the mind by which truth is 
 immediately perceived. 
 
 Intuition is right regardless of appear- 
 ances. It is that place within where man 
 and God are consciously one. 
 
 Intuition is the key to true genius. It 
 knows no law except the law of self expres- 
 sion. 
 
 Intuition was called the "Akasa" by the 
 ancients. The akasian records are those 
 that come through intuition and are always 
 right. You have intuition; this book will 
 tell you how to cultivate and use it, and 
 explains Impulse, Instinct and Intuition in 
 
FOREWORD 18 
 
 such a manner that you can understand and 
 know when you are using any one of the 
 three. Their use makes you what you are 
 and will make you what you desire to be 
 when used understandingly. 
 
CHAPTER I 
 Creation 
 
 "All nature is but art unknown to thee, 
 All chance, direction which thou cans't not see; 
 All discord, harmony not understood; 
 All partial evil, universal good; 
 And, spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, 
 One truth is clear, whatever is, is right/' 
 
 — Pope. 
 
 Creation is the most important thing 
 mankind is interested in or concerned about, 
 for we are continually creating. Yet in the 
 last analysis there is no such thing as 
 creation. Creation as expressed in sa- 
 cred or profane writings means simply 
 changing one form of substance to that 
 of another form. This substance from 
 which all manifestation comes is spirit or 
 God. I am the image of God, therefore 
 I must be spirit. Spirit, never dies 
 but is continually expressing God in 
 thousands of different forms. I, man, 
 created in the image of God or spirit, am 
 continually bringing God into manifestation 
 on every plane of physical expression that 
 
16 CREATION 
 
 I am conscious of. This I do by the use of 
 the principle of motion and number, without 
 which there would be no physical mani- 
 festation. I am spirit and to continually 
 remain conscious of my physical being I 
 must continually use spirit to create, there- 
 fore I live, move and have my being in 
 spirit or God, and when I can no longer 
 express spirit constructively I express it 
 destructively and disintegration takes place. 
 I then pass to a plane where I can express 
 the attributes of spirit, some of which are 
 life, love, peace, health and goodness. The 
 Father established the principle of mathe- 
 matics, the principle of love, the principle 
 of motion and many other principles includ- 
 ing the man principle. Man makes rules 
 which he can change, but principles are 
 made for man and are eternal, unchange- 
 able. The Father established the man 
 principle self acting, the only one that is 
 self acting. AH the other principles de- 
 pend upon the self acting principle, man, to 
 set them in motion. Man sets all other 
 principles in motion by the word, by his 
 thought. The underlying principle of all 
 creation is the relation between the law 
 
CREATION 17 
 
 and the word, therefore the "Law and The 
 Word" go hand in hand and are inseparable. 
 Read "The Law and The Word", by Trow- 
 ard. 
 
 The law of correspondence shows man- 
 kind to be manifesting God on three princi- 
 pal planes, spirit, mind and matter, one of 
 which cannot exist without the other, yet 
 most of us recognize but one. The material- 
 ist says "I am from Missouri, you have got 
 to show me". Not having spiritual eyes 
 to see spiritually or a spiritual understand- 
 ing to understand spiritually, not having 
 mental conception of the trinity spirit, mind 
 and matter, he expects a physical explana- 
 tion of things he does not understand, so 
 works out his problems by the use of the 
 five senses — hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting 
 and smelling. He clings to these and says 
 "show me", notwithstanding the fact that 
 he has heard noises that had no physical 
 foundation, has seen things that did not 
 exist on the physical plane, has felt things 
 that had no reality in matter, has tasted 
 both bitter and sweet from the same cup, 
 and has been deceived by smell. He is of 
 the earth earthly, asleep to the fact that 
 
18 CREATION 
 
 these five senses have their corres- 
 pondences in both the mental and spiritual 
 worlds. These five senses are purely phy- 
 sical changes. Everything that changes is 
 subject to the law of mind and spirit. 
 Everything that changes had a beginning 
 and consequently will have an ending. So 
 everything that changes will sometime as- 
 sume a different form. The five physical 
 senses came with man's dual line of reason- 
 ing. Man's dual line of reasoning came with 
 the fall of the Canopy, and the ending of 
 the Garden of Eden period on earth. In 
 the Garden of Eden period there was no day 
 and night, no positive and negative, no good 
 and bad; instead of looking at both ends 
 of the carbon stick that gives electric 
 light, and making themselves miserable 
 about which was the positive and which 
 was the negative, they recognized only the 
 Dynamo and called it good. When the 
 Garden of Eden period is restored on earth 
 again — (which according to the best of my 
 knowledge and belief will be about seven 
 hundred and twenty years from the com- 
 mencement of this century) — we shall have 
 peace on earth, good will among men. It 
 
CREATION 19 
 
 is referred to in the last of the 60th chapter 
 of Isaiah: "Violence shall no more be heard 
 in the land, wasting nor destruction within 
 thy borders; The sun shall be no more thy 
 light by day; neither for brightness shall 
 the moon give light unto thee." The canopy 
 will be restored, as it is today around Jupi- 
 ter, or as the rings around Saturn, and 
 man will have returned to unity from 
 whence he came. His line of thinking and 
 reasoning will be along the line of unity 
 instead of duality as it is today. The rise 
 and fall of the canopy coincides with the 
 glacial periods. To get a better idea of it, 
 and what makes the Garden of Eden period 
 and changes man's line of thought complet- 
 ely, read "The Deluge" by Isaac N. Vail. 
 
 Everything is changed from one form to 
 that of another by thought. The united 
 thought of the world gives the cosmic or 
 universal expression and the individual 
 thought the individual experiences. Every 
 one, including ourselves, is a prophet and to 
 know the future should reflect on the 
 thoughts being put out, and contemplate the 
 physical expression they will be formed 
 into. Job said: "The thing which I greatly 
 
20 CREATION 
 
 feared is come upon me, and that which I 
 was afraid of, is come unto me." As with 
 Job, so with you and I, for the spiritual 
 sense is no respecter of persons, and works 
 today for us the same as it did for Job. 
 Contemplate for a moment the statement 
 of being put out regularly by the Christian 
 Science people: "There is no life, truth, in- 
 telligence nor substance in matter. All is 
 infinite mind and its infinite manifestations, 
 for God is All in All. Spirit is the real and 
 eternal, matter is the unreal and temporal. 
 Spirit is God and man is his image and 
 likeness, therefore man is not material, he 
 is spiritual." What is the psychology of this 
 statement? The Bible, which is the rule 
 and guide of many people as well as the 
 Christian Scientists, informs us that when 
 twelve thousand of each of the twelve tribes 
 of Israel, Rev. 7:2-9, i. e. "the twelve class- 
 ifications of mind, agree upon anything, it 
 is born into physical manifestation. Thus 
 are cosmic expressions brought to us. At 
 the present time there is a tremendous 
 thought force, which is increasing all the 
 time, changing matter into spirit. The 
 denial of matter and the affirmation of 
 
CREATION 21 
 
 spirit. What will be the result? Man being 
 the most movable thing upon the earth 
 should get in line with these influences and 
 turn his attention to spiritual matters or he 
 himself will be turned into spirit. The next 
 most movable thing to be affected by this 
 line of thought is water. There has never 
 been as much water on the earth and so 
 little above the earth as in the past two 
 thousand years while the earth was passing 
 through the constellation Pisces — the water 
 sign. All improvements with water have 
 come during this dispensation. All religions 
 have symbolized the water. The people 
 of this constellation have exemplified its 
 characteristics by a belief in the adage "eat, 
 drink and be merry today for tomorrow you 
 may die", so the world has never been so 
 well fed. This urge comes by the earth 
 passing to the airy constellation Aquarius, 
 where the influence is for airy and spiritual 
 manifestation. This is necessary in order 
 to strike a balance. 
 
 As the earth is dematerialized by tha 
 thought "expressed", the earth's attraction 
 becomes less and less until the waters that 
 rise above the earth remain and form a 
 
22 CREATION 
 
 canopy which in time obscures the sun and 
 there is a continuous subdued light over the 
 whole face of the earth. There will be no 
 night there, for man has lost his dual line 
 of reasoning, and works out all his problems 
 by the spiritual senses — love, truth, life, 
 harmony, mathematics, intuition, etc., all 
 positive and all good. Here comes along 
 a man created by the Lord God, of the dust 
 of the earth, as recorded in the second story 
 of creation in Genesis, and says: "What 
 about polarity? opposite love is hate, oppos- 
 ite truth is error, opposite life is death, op- 
 posite harmony is discord and opposite 
 true geometry is error."These opposites are 
 all negative and come into expression as 
 delusions and can all be destroyed by re- 
 cognition of the positive. It is impossi- 
 ble to destroy the principle of life, death 
 does not do it. It is impossible to de- 
 stroy the principle of love, hate cannot 
 affect it. It is impossible for a nega- 
 tive principle to destroy a positive prin- 
 ciple. The negative is subject to change, 
 the positive is not. What does the principle 
 of mathematics care about the mistakes you 
 and I make in its use? The mistakes are to 
 
CREATION 23 
 
 teach us the truth, they are to lead us to 
 the Christ, and instead of complaining we 
 should be thankful for and profit by them. 
 All mistakes in our life, all the ills from 
 which we suffer come from a negative line 
 of thinking in ourselves or those with whom 
 we associate. 
 
 Eradicate from your mind and con- 
 sciousness such words as "don't" and 
 "can't" and you will avoid much trouble. 
 Never say to a person "don't do so and so" 
 or you "can't do thus and so". I once heard 
 a colored preacher explain the psychology 
 of the word don't in a story of two families 
 living side by side, one seemed to pass 
 through this world with little or no trouble 
 and the other was full to overflowing. Both 
 had little girls they were sending to the 
 same school. One mother, after fixing the 
 ribbons in her daughter's hair starts her 
 off to school with these words: "Run on to 
 school now and don't get your feet wet." 
 Possibly you and I have sent our children 
 out with just such a command and then 
 watched them deliberately wade through 
 every puddle of water they came to, in 
 fact cross the street that they might obey 
 
24 CREATION 
 
 our instructions. The word don't is nega- 
 tive, and the subconscious mind, or the 
 heart as the bible puts it, receives only 
 positive words, consequently gets the re- 
 mainder of the sentence — "get your feet 
 wet" — and proceeds to obey. The other 
 mother after getting her little girl ready 
 starts her to school with these words : "Run 
 on to school dear and keep your feet dry". 
 A positive command. The little girl goes 
 hopping and skipping along to school hitting 
 all the high and dry places, has obeyed the 
 command, and kept her feet dry. Then 
 we wonder why our children cannot behave 
 as well as Jones' or Smiths'. There is a 
 reason. We have been looking everywhere 
 but the right place for the reason, which 
 we carry with us in our thoughts. 
 
 Nine tenths of all we do is done by using 
 the instinctive mind, the mind which ani- 
 mals use, the beast mind. The instinctive 
 mind is never a creator but a servant to 
 execute what has been created for it, so we 
 see unbelief is born of the consciousness of 
 serving God rather than that of being His 
 Son. While you are a servant you are 
 under the law. When you realize your son- 
 
CREATION 25 
 
 ship then you use the law. The law is 
 cosmic, impersonal and eternal. When you 
 use the law with the idea of becoming what 
 you desire, then you will rise above things 
 and become a son and heir to all good. The 
 law flows from the word and not vice versa. 
 When you speak a word or think a thought 
 you set the law in motion, and by that law 
 you are rewarded or condemned. To live in 
 the earthly consciousness is to live in the 
 negative or shadow of things. To live in 
 the Son or heavenly consciousness is to live 
 in the positive and to be the light. The 
 parable of the transfiguration on the mount, 
 — your mind — shows that man's identity is 
 never lost, that the divine man is death- 
 less, eternal. Christ represented the Truth, 
 Moses the Law, and Elias the Prophet. All 
 three were so wonderful that the disciples 
 desired to build three temples, one for each. 
 But immediately Law and Prophet disap- 
 peared. Truth stood alone and the voice 
 said: "This is my beloved Son, hear him". 
 "Christ, the Prophet and the Law abide in 
 one temple." You are that temple. 
 
 This explains to us that saying in the 
 book of books, "As a man thinketh in his 
 
26 CREATION 
 
 heart, so is he." Now how does a man 
 think in his heart? The thought that comes 
 from the heart or instinctive mind, or sub- 
 conscious mind, is the finished product ex- 
 pressing itself. Of all animals man is the 
 only one having positive and negative use of 
 mind. The negative reflects what the posi- 
 tive has created for it to reflect, so it is 
 absolutely true that as a man thinketh in 
 his heart so is he. It is a reflection of 
 what he does and is. This can be better 
 explained in the terms of the Astrologer, 
 who uses physical manifestation to express 
 spiritual meanings. Yet spiritual truths 
 must be discerned spiritually. He says the 
 moon mind is the reasoning, logical, analyz- 
 ing mind from which all conceptions 
 spring. This is the part of mind that en- 
 ables man to cut down a tree and create a 
 table. Animals have this part of mind only 
 as they obtain it from man, and then not 
 sufficient so they can bequeath it to their 
 offspring, but they function with the in- 
 stinctive mind only, which makes them 
 what they are. This phase of mind is 
 called by Astrologers, the Sun mind. Every- 
 thing is born into physical expression by or 
 
CREATION 27 
 
 through the Sun mind. The earth itself, 
 all its manifestations of seasons and variety 
 come in the same manner which is the cos- 
 mic or universal expression of man, which 
 is God made manifest. We are told as in 
 heaven so on earth, Alas how little we all 
 know about heaven. If this be true and the 
 Bible seems to be full of references to it, 
 the study of the heavens should be man's 
 greatest, most interesting and useful study. 
 It is said order is heaven's first law. Surely 
 the planets move in order and the whole 
 face of the heavens appear to be order of 
 the highest degree, but is it so on earth? 
 When we look at things on earth collect- 
 ively it has the appearance of order, for 
 the seasons come and go with equal reg- 
 ularity. Abraham Lincoln said the majority 
 of mankind are always right, so it would 
 seem that discord is largely a factor with 
 individuals and comes from ignorance. 
 
 The moon mind governs all conception, 
 of worlds, everything therein contained, as 
 well as of you and me. Then there is the 
 period of gestation and then the birth. 
 Everything comes into manifestation as you 
 and I came, or as a crop of potatoes come. 
 
28 CREATION 
 
 First there is the conception, the planting 
 of the seed which is done in faith, then the 
 period of gestation or growth, wherein we 
 have hope, and then the birth or harvest, 
 showing the charity of an all wise system 
 of laws that work in an orderly fashion. 
 There is no law of God or man until thought 
 has put it into operation, therefore thought 
 is the conception of all there is. 
 
 Now thought impresses the Sun mind, 
 as the Astrologer would say, or the heart 
 as the Bible expresses it, or the subcon- 
 scious mind as the scientist would explain 
 it, and whatever thought impresses this 
 mind with, that is born into a manifes- 
 tation. The laws are fixed and eternal, but 
 man has to a certain extent, the power to 
 choose the thought that puts the law in 
 motion. 
 
 Many people rarely ever think with 
 persistency. Think how much thought it 
 takes to impress the subsconscious mind of 
 a child in teaching it to walk. We place the 
 child against the wall or by a chair, hold 
 out our hands and tell it to walk, not once 
 or twice but many times, until by the spok- 
 en word and by example, the heart of the 
 
CREATION 29 
 
 child has grasped the idea, the seed has 
 taken root when the child takes a step or 
 two, and faith has forever planted upon its 
 subconscious mind the fact that it can 
 walk. Henceforth it walks by the power of 
 the instinctive mind. Nine tenths of all 
 we do is brought into manifestation in this 
 same manner, for we do not consciously 
 and truly realize we are one with the 
 Father, and can say with Jesus "I and my 
 Father are one", but when we, understand- 
 ing the law and putting it in operation as 
 a little child take the first step, then Faith 
 which is born of the substance we have im- 
 pressed our heart or Sun mind with, comes 
 to our assistance and we can do the things 
 Jesus did and greater things than these 
 may we also do. 
 
 One important thing to realize is the law 
 of agreement. Everything comes into mani- 
 festation according to the law of agreement 
 between the moon mind and the sun mind. 
 This law of agreement strengthens or weak- 
 ens our willpower to do things, according 
 as we keep or violate it. There is nothing 
 we can do that will bring greater reward 
 than to always keep our agreements, espe- 
 
30 CREATION 
 
 daily those we make with ourselves. In 
 the first place avoid making agreements as 
 much as possible, especially promising our- 
 selves to do things, such as to rise at a 
 certain hour and then fail to get up, but 
 when they are made, be particular to see 
 they are fulfilled. This creates harmony 
 between the moon mind, that promises and 
 the sun mind, that executes. Harmony, 
 being one of the first of the Divine laws 
 to observe and fulfill, all the inharmonious 
 things in my life may be directly traced to 
 the discord between the conceptive mind 
 which plants the seed and the executive or 
 subconscious mind that expresses the har- 
 vest and is governed by the sun influence. 
 A number of years ago an Astrologer re- 
 marked that all our thought came from the 
 sun. It has taken me some time to become 
 conscious of the law that the sun mind ex- 
 presses what we have created for it to ex- 
 press and nothing else. Under this in- 
 fluence we are what our thoughts have 
 made us. This law is good and we are serv- 
 ants to the law when we fail to realize that 
 thoughts are seeds that grow into material 
 expression. 
 
CHAPTER II 
 Evolution of Man. 
 
 "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan, 
 The proper study of mankind is man." 
 
 — Pope. 
 
 The point within the circle is a good rep- 
 resentation of man in his perfect state, 
 where he realizes he is monarch of all he 
 surveys and has complete control and abso- 
 
32 EVOLUTION 
 
 lute command and view of all contained 
 within his circle, be that circle large or 
 small. He is conscious of his unity with 
 all. He is omnipresent to all, and omnipo- 
 tent to all. The circle cannot be made with- 
 out the dot or some one to make it, there- 
 fore God and man have always been, are 
 now and ever will be. 
 
 Man is God made manifest. The follow- 
 ing from the "Aquarian Gospel" gives the 
 two view points very nicely: "Among 
 the Budhist priests was one who saw a lofty 
 wisdom in the words that Jesus spoke. It 
 was Barata Arabo. Together Jesus and Ba- 
 rata read the Jewish Psalms and Prophets, 
 read the Vedas; the Avesta and the wis- 
 dom of Guatama. And as they read and 
 talked about the possiblities of man, 
 Barata said, "Man is the marvel of the 
 universe. He is a part of everything, 
 for he has been a living thing on every 
 plane of life. Time was when man was 
 not; and when he was a bit of form- 
 less substance in the moulds of time; and 
 then a protoplast. By universal law all 
 things tend upward to a state of perfect- 
 ness. The protoplast evolved, becoming 
 
EVOLUTION 38 
 
 worm, then reptile, bird and beast, and 
 then at last it reached the form of man. 
 Now man himself is mind, and mind is here 
 to gain perfection by experience; and mind 
 is often manifest in fleshy form, and in 
 the form best suited to its growth. So 
 mind may manifest as bird or beast, or 
 man. The time will come when everything 
 of life will be evolved into the state of 
 perfect man. And after man is in perfect- 
 ness, he will be evolved to higher form of 
 life." 
 
 And Jesus said, "Barata Arabo, who 
 taught you this, that mind which is the 
 man, may manifest in flesh of beast, or bird 
 or creeping thing?" Barata said, "From 
 time which man remembers not, our priests 
 have told us so, and so we know." And 
 Jesus said, "Enlightened Arabo, are you a 
 Master Mind and do not know 7 that man 
 knows naught by being told? Man may 
 believe what others say; but thus he never 
 knows. If man would know he must him- 
 self be what he knows. Do you remember, 
 Arabo, when you were ape, or bird, or 
 worm? Now if you have no better proving 
 of your plea than that the priests have 
 
34 EVOLUTION 
 
 told you so, you do not know; you simply 
 guess. Regard not then, what any man has 
 said; let us forget the flesh, and go with 
 mind into the land of fleshless things; 
 mind never does forget." And backward 
 through the ages master minds can trace 
 themselves; and thus they know "TIME 
 NEVER WAS WHEN MAN WAS NOT." 
 
 Read Aquarian Gospel by Levi. 
 
 Thus we see the reasoning mortal mind, 
 being negative, believes in everything of its 
 kind, while the Divine mind, intuition, 
 knows man is, always was, and ever will be, 
 I am, therefore I have a right to be. 
 I am one with the complete whole. I 
 am that I am. I am the light. I am the 
 darkness. I am all. I am peace. I am 
 health for there is none else. I am pure, 
 because I am all. I am everywhere present. 
 I am one with the Father. I am poise and 
 power. I am good because I am all there 
 is. I am and there is none else besides me. 
 
 When I lose consciousness of what I am, 
 I become like the fishes in the sea looking 
 for the water; like the birds of the air, 
 looking for the air; like the worm of the 
 dust, looking for the earth. I start out to 
 
EVOLUTION 35 
 
 travel on the level of time to an undiscover- 
 ed country from which no traveler returns, 
 never wishes to return, and cannot return 
 if he would. That undiscovered country is 
 Truth, truth as to what I am. In starting 
 to travel on the level of time I have divided 
 my world into two parts, else how could I 
 travel? 
 
 I have not only divided my world into 
 two parts, but I have divided myself into 
 a two fold creature. The upper half I call 
 day and the lower half I call night. The 
 
56 EVOLUTION 
 
 upper half I call summer and the lower 
 half I call winter. The upper half I call 
 light and the lower half I call darkness. 
 The upper half I call heaven and the lower 
 half I call hell. The upper half I call positive 
 and the lower half I call negative. The 
 upper half I call good and the lower half I 
 call bad. All duality comes from this divi- 
 sion which I, Adam, have created and I, 
 Adam, have named. Whatever you and I 
 agree to and name, so the name shall be. 
 
 Realizing that it takes both halves to 
 make a complete circle, that night is just 
 as necessary as day to complete the circle, 
 that winter is equal to summer, that hell is 
 as necessary as heaven to make a complete 
 circle, and that they are only names I have 
 given to my creating two parts of Unity or 
 the circle, or myself, I therefore decide I 
 must be just and impartial to each half, 
 and say, "I will not depart from a just 
 recognition of the two parts, summer and 
 winter; light and darkness, heaven and 
 hell; good and bad; but will become con- 
 scious that I must use both, as both are a 
 part of my complete whole; a part of my 
 I am." 
 
EVOLUTION 
 
 37 
 
 I therefore set up the plumb line, symbol 
 of Justice, in the midst of Israel, and call 
 it the basis upon which my world revolves 
 
 One end I call the north pole and the 
 other end I call the south pole. This divides 
 my world into four parts. 
 
 In looking at this division I discover the 
 four corners of the earth from which the 
 
38 EVOLUTION 
 
 four winds of heaven blow. I discover the 
 four seasons of the year, which I, Adam, 
 name Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. 
 I discover the four points of the compass, 
 by which I am to steer my craft, or build 
 my mansion true to the level, upright and 
 just before God and man. 
 
 This is why we have four major prophets 
 in our scriptures, one to represent each of 
 the four quarters. Ezekiel is a good re- 
 presentative of spring, Daniel of summer, 
 Isaiah of fall and Jeremiah of winter. 
 
 Our first division of the circle gave us 
 male and female, this division gives us four 
 distinct races of people in the world; the 
 white people born at an equal distance from 
 the equator to the poles, the black people 
 born on or near the equator, the copper 
 colored people bom near the south pole 
 and the Albinos or Eskimos born near the 
 north pole. 
 
 Observing the effect of this division into 
 seasons, I Adam — you and I — divide nature 
 into four principal substances which we call 
 Fire, Earth, Air and Water. We give one 
 of these substances to each of the four 
 corners of the earth. The Fire is given 
 
EVOLUTION 39 
 
 to spring as it gives us energy to work, and 
 we call the first quarter, the quarter of 
 Labor. Then as the heat of summer comes 
 on we relax from our labors and commence 
 to gather the reward. As this reward is 
 from the fruits of the earth, we say this 
 quarter is governed by the earth, and while 
 storing away its fruits we call this the 
 quarter of Wealth. At the autumnal equi- 
 nox, having a sufficiency of wealth to last 
 us through the year, we have time to con- 
 template our fall from unity to duality and 
 from duality to that of a four sided being, 
 when we realize all four sides are necessary 
 to make a complete circle. This we call the 
 quarter of Knowledge. As we come to and 
 pass the Winter Solstice we become more 
 and more conscious that as we have divided 
 the world so we ourselves have become 
 divided, for the world is only a reflection of 
 what we are, and we feel thankful for the 
 quarter that gave us labor, for the quarter 
 that gave us wealth, for the quarter that 
 gave us knowledge and that we are now 
 alive in the quarter of Love. We read the 
 twelfth chapter of first Coronthians and 
 give thanks some more, for we know it 
 
40 EVOLUTION 
 
 would be impossible to live without the 
 remaining parts of the circle. Thus by love 
 we are brought back to Unity. 
 
 Matter is not an originating power, it is 
 neutral, a means of manifestation of power 
 that is within every one of us. We can 
 change it from one form to that of another, 
 or dissolve it into spirit, but must work 
 with the cosmic lav/ and not in opposition 
 to it, as everything comes by the law of 
 agreement. 
 
 Matter is necessary to differentiate. 
 Were there no expression in solid substance, 
 things would be perpetually flowing into 
 each other, and there would be no means 
 of Glorifying the Father. 
 
 Bear in mind this fact, and let it sink 
 deep into your conscience, that nine-tenths 
 of all you do is done by agreement between 
 the reasoning moon mind and the executive 
 sun mind, and the law governing these two 
 minds is simply the law of suggestion; 
 nothing more or less. 
 
 How does the foul air of a room become 
 pure? By mingling with more air. The 
 same with a stream of water. The same 
 with you and I. The best man can be no 
 
EVOLUTION 41 
 
 better than all. The meanest man can be 
 no worse than all. Should he shut himself 
 up and become a pessimist, by his false line 
 of thinking, then let him follow the example 
 of the air or the brook and flow among the 
 stream of humanity until he is in his 
 thought as good as the whole, for he is just 
 
 as necessary to complete the circle as any 
 part of it. 
 This law of love shows that the four quar- 
 
42 EVOLUTION 
 
 ters are all necessary to be recognized, for 
 everything comes into expression through 
 the law of agreement. True labor is that 
 which benefits all. True wealth is that which 
 all can enjoy. True knowledge comes from 
 universal experience, and true love is that 
 which takes in the whole circle. Any ex- 
 ception to this is vanity and vexation of 
 spirit. 
 
 In a further contemplation of my work of 
 creation I observe I started at onement with 
 the Father, unity, the only one and true 
 God, and became a two-fold being, positive 
 and negative. These two principles I must 
 give to all my future creations. In setting 
 up the plumb line I have four equal parts, 
 two of each, positive and negative. I now 
 wonder why I skipped the trinity and tried 
 to place the triangle in the circle. This I 
 cannot do while I am the center, unity. If 
 I do it as soon as I have divided my world 
 and myself into two distinct parts I create 
 a four-fold being of unequal proportions as 
 shown in the cut following: 
 
EVOLUTION 
 
 43 
 
 Then when I undertake to place the trian- 
 gle, the trinity of spirit, mind and matter, 
 in the four fold division I have six unequal 
 parts upon which the four cannot agree and 
 to have it lasting it must come by agree- 
 ment with all. 
 
44 
 
 EVOLUTION 
 
 By adding another tringle I have eight 
 parts of unity, or the circle, but they are 
 not equal.

 So I add the other triangles and be- 
 come a twelve fold being of thirty degrees 
 each, all equal and all having the same 
 power and efficiency. Here we see the 
 fallacy of the trinity. It is a delusion 
 and a snare, invented by the twelve sided 
 expression of man. At Unity you are con- 
 scious of nothing but God; some think it 
 should be spelled good. At the second 
 
46 
 
 EVOLUTION 
 
 stage you are conscious of the principle of 
 positive and negative and of the law of 
 agreement to make all good; at the third 
 you became conscious of the four elements, 
 then the twelve fold expression of God 
 comes rapidly, and we see man as he is to- 
 day. His evolution has all been by agree- 
 ment with all.

 Every person in the world is a represen- 
 
EVOLUTION 47 
 
 tative of some one of these twelve. So posi- 
 tive is this that we all have marks, moles or 
 scars upon our person that designate to 
 which one we belong. This is also indicated 
 by our classification of mind, by our likes 
 and even by the clothes we wear. This can 
 all be proven to your entire satisfaction by 
 a short study of the heavens as applied 
 to man. 
 
 We find that the elements of Fire, Earth, 
 Air and Water which we gave to the four 
 corners of the earth came into existence by 
 our thinking; that thought formed the sub- 
 stance from spirit to make the physical ex- 
 pression; that the fallacy of spirit, mind 
 and matter has entered into all our crea- 
 tions since we left unity. 
 
 Knowing that the law is, ask and ye 
 shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock 
 and it shall be opened to you ; we first 
 asked for light, started to travel in search 
 of it, the heavens opened and we received 
 our reward according to the law. So Fire 
 is the first of the physical manifestations 
 brought to our consciousness. Therefore 
 we place the triangle in the circle, starting 
 with the Fire at the Vernal Equinox. 
 
48 
 
 EVOLUTION 
 
 Here we have the circle divided into three 
 equal parts which we call Noah and his 
 three sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet, giving 
 one-third of the circle or one hundred and 
 twenty degrees or years of age to each. 
 This division of the circle cannot stand 
 being tested by the law of agreement. 
 Realizing therefore that we have been 
 partial to our first born element, and in 
 agreement with all, we give the triangle to 
 each element, as each are using it. This 
 
EVOLUTION 49 
 
 divides the circle into twelve equal parts 
 of thirty degrees each. 
 
 We went from Unity to duality, from 
 duality to quadrant or four fold being; 
 from quartet to a being of twelve distinct 
 parts, each depending upon the other to 
 give a perfect expression of God or a 
 complete circle. 
 
 As in heaven so on earth, these twelve 
 parts we call the twelve sons of Jacob; or 
 the twelve tribes of Israel, represented by 
 the twelve months of the year on earth, and 
 the twelve constellations of the zodiac in 
 the heavens. 
 
 The picture of the man in our almanacs 
 — the sky man — is the spiritual man of 
 twelve parts; the twelve constellations in 
 the heavens represent the mental man of 
 twelve parts; while you and I each carry 
 around with us the physical man composed 
 of twelve distinct parts, each dependent 
 upon the other. 
 
 What could the hand do without the head, 
 or the head without the feet, or how could 
 we build a complete circle with one section 
 missing? This is what some of us are 
 trying to do. We devote our whole being, 
 
50 EVOLUTION 
 
 soul, mind and body to the quarter of labor, 
 and disregarding the other three quarters, 
 become morose and say, life is not worth 
 living, it is made up of hard work. When 
 will we wake up and learn that man does 
 not live by bread alone or by work alone; 
 that there is a time for everything under 
 the sun, that it is a sin to labor more than 
 one fourth of our time, and neglect the 
 remaining three parts of our being. 
 
 Others of us devote all our energies to 
 the piling up of what labor has created, not 
 caring whose labor it is so long as we can 
 get it to pile up. This is also a vexation of 
 spirit, for what does it profit a man if he 
 pile up the wealth of the world and lose 
 his own soul? We are so engrossed in this 
 piling up process, thinking it will give us 
 happiness and pleasure, that we do not 
 realize we have a soul. We think the god 
 of mammon is the only God worth while, 
 never realizing that to create happiness and 
 pleasure it is as necessary for the people 
 manifesting on the other three quarters to 
 have wealth as it is for us, for they are a 
 part of our being as much as the hand is 
 a part of our body. 
 
EVOLUTION 51 
 
 Still others devote their time to the pur- 
 suit of knowledge, not realizing what know- 
 ledge is. They are chasing the counterfeit, 
 and think knowledge can be gleaned from 
 books, which is a fallacy, for books only 
 give us the opinions of others, and our 
 great inventor Edison once said: "Two 
 thirds of my life has been spent in follow- 
 ing up false theories in scientific text 
 books". This means, that as far as Mr. 
 Edison was concerned, two thirds of all our 
 scientific knowledge was false. What an 
 opening for people who think and experi- 
 ment and do things. All the knowledge we 
 have is of the things we do. The more 
 things you do the more knowledge you will 
 have. The more things you do for the 
 benefit of all the people who compose the 
 circle the more happiness you will have. 
 Never lose sight of the circle, of which you 
 are a part, and which you are continually 
 contributing to and drawing from. 
 
 There are also a class of people who are 
 manifesting on the quarter of love and 
 who do not have a conscious idea of what 
 love is. They are chasing the counterfeit. 
 There is but one sin in the world and that 
 
52 EVOLUTION 
 
 is ignorance. Ignorance of what God is 
 and of God's laws. If you know not God 
 or his laws how can you obey them? The 
 giving of alms, exhorting people to be good 
 according to your standard, or the desire 
 of our beastly natures to possess, is only 
 the counterfeit of love. It is said love 
 covers a multitude of sins, and it certainly 
 does when it extends entirely around the 
 circle and takes in your brother — every 
 person you meet, or of whom you think, is 
 your Brother. 
 
 Love that is universal, knows God is 
 good and all is for the best, that all partial 
 evil is universal good; knows that both 
 halves of the circle are good and that each 
 one of us must manifest on both halves; 
 knows that all four quarters are good and 
 that we cannot monopolize one to the exclu- 
 sion of the others; knows that the law of 
 God is perfect and that it applies to all divi- 
 sions of the circle. 
 
 This also explains why cosmic law is 
 good and why it is necessary. No one, not 
 even God himself, can give us something we 
 will not have. We asked for light, searched 
 for it, and were brought into it by our own 
 
EVOLUTION 5S 
 
 request. Then we agreed, one half with 
 the other, to set up a plumb line and created 
 the quarters. Then the quarters agreed to 
 the names by which they should be known 
 and also agreed to establishing the triangle 
 and the further division. Then to be just 
 to all, they agreed to create a triangle for 
 each of the elements, and from that day to 
 this the twelve divisions of the one mind — 
 God — has agreed to every cosmic manifesta- 
 tion of which we have any knowledge. 
 Were this not so, each of us would have a 
 different name for a chair and for every- 
 thing else. A chair is called a chair for the 
 simple reason that the twelve divisions of 
 the one mind have agreed to call it a chair. 
 It is so with everything the Adam man 
 has named. All came by agreement. That 
 there are twelve classifications of mind can 
 be conclusively proven by one year's study 
 of the influence of the sun, moon and stars. 
 St. John explains something of this law 
 of agreement when he speaks of a hundred 
 and forty four thousand being sealed in 
 their foreheads. This is what it takes to 
 make a cosmic expression, when the rest of 
 the world is brought under the influence. 
 
54 EVOLUTION 
 
 An agreement of twelve hundred of each 
 of the twelve tribes of Israel — which we 
 are — brings into manifestation the thing 
 we agree upon. A hundred and forty four 
 thousand thought war: by their thoughts 
 sealed it in their foreheads, that is agreed 
 upon war, and war we had. It came by agree- 
 ment according to a just and immutable 
 law. It continued until the energy of that 
 thought spent its force, or was overcome by 
 the thought of peace. When Florence Craw- 
 ford, editor of "Comfort", was asked by one 
 in her audience, "when will peace come", 
 she replied, "I do not know, but people may 
 want peace so long and with such an intense 
 desire that when it does come it will last 
 for a thousand years." Individually peace 
 comes to you and I just as soon as we set 
 the law in motion to create it. Leave every 
 person free to work out their problems as 
 they think best Remember when you 
 restrict or bind a person in your thought 
 or speech you yourself are bound and can 
 never attain much success in occult or di- 
 vine knowledge until you leave people free. 
 The beast mind tries to control, the di- 
 vine mind leaves people free. 
 
CHAPTER m 
 Fate or Pessimism vs. Optimism 
 
 "One ship sails east and another sails west, 
 By the self same wind that blows, 
 
 It is not the gale but the set of the Sail, 
 That tells us the way they go." 
 
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 
 
 It is not the gale or our environments 
 that count but our view point. The manner 
 in which we meet the gales or trim our 
 sails and sail east to rise with the sun of 
 success and prosperity or sail west to go 
 down in the darkness of despondency, gloom 
 and oblivion, is what counts. The view point 
 makes us what we are, for in everyting that 
 happens there is some good to some one. 
 
 An old Irish Lord commenced to produce 
 his family rather late in life and when the 
 first child was born he was anxious to know 
 the boy's future, so he consulted an eminent 
 Astrologer and had his horoscope cast and 
 the future probabilities foretold. The Astro- 
 loger shook his head and said he was sorry 
 to say the boy was born to become a 
 beggar. The old gentleman thought that 
 could be overcome with his entailed estate. 
 
56 FATE 
 
 Two years later another son came to bless 
 the honest old Irish couple, for all children 
 are a blessing if we make them so. Going 
 to the Astrologer for his judgment of the 
 boy's future he was told that this son had 
 the planets in such a position at his birth 
 that he would probably be a thief. The 
 stern and austere father thought he could 
 take that out of him and train him in the 
 way he should go. Two years later a third 
 son was born who it was hoped would have 
 more fortunate prospects, but when the 
 Astrologer was consulted he seemed sad 
 and reluctantly informed the anxious father 
 that this son would be a murderer. Not 
 being sure he could overcome this influence 
 and magnifying the unfavorable predictions 
 concerning the other two boys, not having 
 been taught that man is greater than the 
 influence of the sun, moon and stars and 
 can create the environments that surround 
 him, and shape his destiny as he wills, he 
 decided to move to America where the 
 family name was not so well known, and the 
 disgrace would be easier to bear. He began 
 preparations for the removal. An old and 
 trusted servant seeing his master bowed 
 
FATE 57 
 
 down with grief, and the unusual prepara- 
 tions going on, asked him what the trouble 
 was about. He explained all the Astrologer 
 had predicted concerning the boys and was 
 surprised to hear him remark that he need 
 not move on that account, for those con- 
 ditions could all be met in a manner, pleas- 
 ing as well as satisfactory. He said, "The 
 boy who is to be a begger, we will educate 
 for a priest; the boy who is to become a 
 thief, we will make a lawyer; and the boy 
 who is to do the murdering, we will make a 
 doctor. They can all rise in their profes- 
 sions and be an honor to the name they 
 bear." 
 
 Here we see a vast difference between the 
 pessimistic view of the father and the opti- 
 mistic view of the servant. One made him- 
 self miserable by taking a wrong view of 
 life, while the other thought this old world 
 was a pretty good place to live in. So it is 
 with you and I. Thoughts are things which 
 make us what we are and show how to meet 
 gales. Which are you looking for, the 
 doughnut or the hole, and what is fate? 
 
 The conventional definition for fate is 
 "a decree pronounced by God". How does 
 
58 FATE 
 
 God pronounce a decree? Again fate is 
 defined as "inevitable, necessary, the ap- 
 pointed lot; three goddesses were supposed 
 to determine the course of human life." 
 In this day of religious awakening we hear 
 a great deal about "There is no death." It 
 is gradually growing in the consciousness 
 of all that death is only a change from 
 one form of manifestation to that of an- 
 other, and that the I AM in each of us 
 comes back into physical manifestation in a 
 very short space of time. So death is only 
 change and mankind is fated to change, but 
 he was given the power to make changes. 
 By the use of that power, when recognized 
 and impressed upon his heart (subconscious 
 mind) he could determine what the change 
 shall be and when it shall take place. 
 
 Most Astrologers arrive at a place where 
 they believe life is foreordained, and they 
 are fated to do certain things. This is only 
 true insofar as all of us are fated to mani- 
 fest what we have created and nothing 
 else. They believe in fate for the reason 
 that they are able to predict events 
 in their own lives and in the lives of 
 others with such accuracy. This is be- 
 
FATE 59 
 
 cause all persons are prophets and are con- 
 tinually prophesying their own creation. 
 When a person lets his thoughts come and 
 go, ignorant of the source from whence they 
 come and what effect they are having in 
 the world, then he manifests the things 
 predicted by material mind, for he is using 
 the beast mind only. 
 
 For a number of years I held to this 
 erroneous belief, but fifteen years study of 
 the spiritual planet Neptune has shown me 
 the fallacy. Theodore Frank Allen, the 
 Astrologer, in his late booklet says : "I main- 
 tain that fate is inevitable and unescapable. 
 There is not and there could not be any 
 way short of suicide (if even that) by 
 which I could have escaped from, evaded, or 
 even modified the intensely severe planitary 
 vibrations that have culminated for me dur- 
 ing the spring of 1918. Such horoscopic 
 conditions are just as inevitable as the 
 rising and setting of the sun, and the regu- 
 lar return of the seasons of spring, summer, 
 autumn and winter." Just above he quotes 
 from Emerson: "Fate then is a name for 
 facts not yet passed under the fire of 
 thought — for causes which are unpenetrat- 
 
60 FATE 
 
 ed,.' Emerson probably meant that fate is 
 the manifestation of thoughts as they are 
 born into existance. 
 
 Another Astrologer, Henry Hodges, 
 quotes an old proverb from the Hitopades- 
 tia, which reads thus: "Look, the clay dries 
 into iron, but the potter moulds the clay. 
 Destiny today is master; man was master 
 yesterday." "Thus are we masters of our to- 
 morrow, however much we may be hamper- 
 ed today by the result of our yesterday." Do 
 not complain about what you are manifest- 
 ing today, but sow seed for a better 
 condition tomorrow. Console yourself by 
 the thought that as most happiness comes 
 by comparison, your unfavorable experien- 
 ces today are but a contribution to the 
 happiness of the world, for who is there 
 among us who has not pointed to some un- 
 fortunate creature and exclaimed: "I thank 
 God — (or my lucky stars) — that I am not 
 in a similar condition." 
 
 God created the man principle. He creat- 
 ed that principle good and pronounced it 
 very good. The man principle that God 
 created is not like the principle of love, 
 or the principle of mathematics, or of music, 
 
FATE 61 
 
 or of attraction, or the many other princi- 
 ples God created. A principle is not like a 
 rule. Mankind makes rules which he can 
 change at will, but principle is laid down for 
 the use and benefit of man, and is eternal, 
 unchangeable positive divine law. The man 
 principle is self acting while all the other 
 principles depend upon the self-acting prin- 
 ciple to set them in motion. The self acting 
 principle — man — sets the other principles in 
 motion by the word, thus the Law and the 
 Word are inseparable. In the beginning was 
 the word, and the word was made flesh. 
 One of our great hindrances has been a lack 
 of knowledge concerning the beginning. The 
 ever present now is the beginning of crea- 
 tion. We have the choosing of the word 
 that sets the law in motion, that makes the 
 manifestation some people call fate. 
 
 If Mr. Allen, or any one else thinks he is 
 a picture of bad luck, that thought makes 
 it so, but no one is fated to think such 
 thoughts. As a man thinketh in his HEART 
 so is he. Put out the thought to-day that 
 will make your tomorrows a pleasing mani- 
 festation, and if it is not as good as you 
 would like it, resolve to build better and 
 
62 FATE 
 
 better, ever remembering the circle of 
 which you are a part, and that an injury 
 to one is the concern of all. 
 
 When at Unity there is no such thing as 
 fate, for I and my Father are one. When 
 I divide myself into two parts, I am fated 
 to enjoy or suffer from each part as I think. 
 There is nothing in this world but what 
 thinking makes it so. When I become a 
 four fold being, I am fated to enjoy the 
 season I like best and suffer from the one 
 I dislike the most. I am fated to enjoy the 
 things I name good and suffer from the 
 things I call bad. When I am manifesting 
 on one-twelfth part of the circle, I am fated 
 to enjoy the things I think good for all the 
 circle, and suffer because I selfishly desire to 
 benefit only from the degrees on which 
 I am manifesting. I have violated my 
 agreement to be just and recognize all. 
 Whatever my fate, it comes through a just 
 law to teach me that all partial evil is uni- 
 versal good, and that the closer I apply the 
 golden rule in my thoughts and actions the 
 more pleasing will be my fate. 
 
 Why is there such a thing as the law of 
 agreement ? 
 
FATE 6S 
 
 Because man has divided himself up into 
 a being of many parts. 
 
 The more parts we divide ourselves into 
 the more we need the law of agreement and 
 the harder it is to get results by the appli- 
 cation of the law. Amos says: "Can two 
 walk together except they be agreed?" 
 
 It is necessary to understand how to 
 agree with the self before we can expect to 
 agree with others. 
 
 How has man been divided into a being 
 of many parts? 
 
 Infinity must be Unity. 
 
 It does not matter what your conception 
 of God is, it must be Unity or else it is a 
 false God. We can not separate God. 
 
 Look at the circle with the dot. See a 
 representation of "God the Father'' and 
 "God the Son". The circle representing 
 "God the Father" and the dot "God the 
 Son" or look at the dot as God the Father, 
 and the circle as the Sons of God, realizing 
 that you are only a part of that circle until 
 you become conscious of absolute unity; 
 when you can say "I and my Father are 
 one", as did Jesus. 
 
 At Unity, God and man are one. They 
 
64 FATE 
 
 are at agreement. As soon as we separate 
 or divide ourselves into two parts, duality 
 appears where each member is limited by 
 the other. 
 
 It is man that is divided, not God. Here 
 is where the law of agreement comes in. 
 One half must agree with the other half 
 or else create a false god, or create a god 
 and a devil. The devil is only a false god 
 of man's creation, and man has divided his 
 God in order to create him. He has violat- 
 ed the first commandment: "Thou shalt 
 have no other Gods before me." 
 
 Matthew (18 — 19) says: "Again I say 
 unto you, that if two of you shall agree on 
 earth as touching anything that they shall 
 ask, it shall be done for them of my Father 
 which is in heaven." Here we see it is 
 better to agree and get what we want than 
 to call the other fellow's god, a devil and 
 disagree, 
 
 Mankind was not satisfied to make this 
 one division but has further divided him- 
 self, so we have four parts of unity where 
 God and man were one. You divide your- 
 self by a belief in duality, become a fourfold 
 being by a belief in the seasons and the 
 
FATE 66 
 
 four elements in nature, a twelve fold being 
 by belief in the Trinity, or a being of seven- 
 ty two parts when the dominent thought of 
 your life is confined within the five physical 
 senses. 
 
 The majority of mankind to-day are ma- 
 nifesting under the belief in the Trinity — 
 spirit, mind and matter. Father, Son and 
 Holy Ghost. Positive, Negative and the 
 product. This makes of us a twelve fold 
 being because every thing good or bad 
 comes by agreement. No matter how much 
 man divides himself he must get enough 
 people representing different parts of the 
 circle to agree in order to secure manifesta- 
 tion. 
 
 After you have made one division of the 
 circle it is impossible to divide by three and 
 get equal proportions until you have twelve 
 parts. 
 
 People who do not believe in spirit, mind 
 and matter, but think the five physical 
 senses are the only standard to judge by, 
 are classed as idolaters for they are not 
 creators. They are servants of God and 
 not Sons of God. Paul says in 2nd Cor. 6- 
 16: "And what agreement hath the temple 
 
66 FATE 
 
 of God with idols, for ye are the temple 
 of the living God?" A Son of God is a 
 creator and is a free man. He uses the law 
 of agreement, connects up with the whole 
 circle and is one with the Father. A servant 
 of God is lacking in understanding, is not 
 a free man, nor a creator but uses only the 
 things that are created for him to use. He 
 is in bondage to the law. 
 
 Most of us are in bondage to the law 
 because we must learn the law before we 
 can use it. The law is passive until set in 
 motion by the word. The Word, or our 
 thought, creates ideas which are the seed 
 that in time will produce the manifestation. 
 Jules Vernes' "A thousand leagues under 
 the sea" was born into a real live manifesta- 
 tion fifty years after it was written. So 
 with our thoughts if we use the law of 
 agreement. 
 
 Matthew (5-25) says: '"Agree with thine 
 adversary quickly while thou art in the 
 way with him, lest at any time the adver- 
 sary deliver thee to the judge and the judge 
 deliver thee to the officers and thou be 
 cast into prison." Then get out of his way 
 as quickly as possible if his thoughts are 
 
FATE 67 
 
 not positive and uplifting to all of mankind. 
 If much in his society you will be manifest- 
 ing his thoughts and complaining of your 
 hard luck or misfortune. 
 
 An agreement with one hundred and 
 forty four thousand brings cosmic or uni- 
 versal manifestation. 
 
 When you promise yourself to do some- 
 thing, one port of your being has agreed 
 with another part and it is imperative that 
 you keep the agreement if you wish to 
 build up your will power to do things iu 
 this world. Avoid making agreements as 
 much as possible but when you do make 
 them, KEEP THEM, or cease to complain 
 if you reap what you have sown and do not 
 like the harvest. 
 
CHAPTER IV 
 Philology 
 
 This is a wondeful field for investigation 
 from several points of view. The number 
 of letters in a word determines its value. 
 The pronoun "I" is made the same as the 
 figure one and has the same value and sig- 
 nificance, it is the only letter in our alpha- 
 bet which alone stands for something. "I", 
 the one and only God, represented by the 
 dot. All through the scriptures this is 
 called God the Son. God the Father is rep- 
 resented by the circle and has been so in 
 every religion of which we have any know- 
 ledge, christian or pagan. 
 
 The circle with one division symbolizes 
 all words of two letters. "It" is all there 
 is. Taken with the dot we have the great- 
 est positive statement known to mankind. 
 "I AM". Repeat this as often as you can 
 in all your remarks, but when you use it in 
 connection with a promise, be sure to keep 
 and fulfill that promise if you wish to 
 build up your will power to do things in 
 this world. 
 
70 PHILOLOGY 
 
 The next positive division of the circle 
 is the four quarters, which give us all words 
 of four letters. The English word for Diety 
 is God, a word of three letters, but we are 
 told God is Good, God is Love, or God is 
 Life. All words of four letter's. God, the 
 word of three letters was given by the 
 twelve fold expression which it represents, 
 for it must be transmuted into this ex- 
 pression to fulfill the law of agreement. It 
 is used on account of its cabalistic meaning. 
 "G", is the seventh letter of the alphabet; 
 "O", is the fifteenth and "D", the fourth. 
 When added together they make a total of 
 twenty six, or all the letters there are. So 
 God in English represents everything that 
 can be described by the twenty six letters 
 &£ our alphabet. 
 
 It is a remarkable fact however, that the 
 name of Diety is spelled with four letters 
 in most of the languages of civilized peo- 
 ples: 
 
 In Latin is it Deus; Greek, Jove or Zeus; 
 Hebrew, nTIT' or Adon ; Syria, Adad ; 
 Arabian, Alia; Persian, Syra; Tartarian, Id- 
 ga; Egyptian, Amon or Ptah; Indian. Aumn 
 or Zeut ; East India, Esgi or Zeni ; Japanese, 
 
PHILOLOGY 71 
 
 Zain; Turkish, Addi; Scandinavian, Odin; 
 Iclandic, Tivi; Croatin, Doga; Dolmatian, 
 Rogt; Tyrhenian, Eher; Etrurian ,Chur; 
 Margarian, Oese; German Gott; French, 
 Dieu; Spanish, Dios, Peruvian, Lain. Thus 
 are the four quarters honored with a letter 
 for each, or taking the circle with the 
 twelve divisions, one letter for each of the 
 four elements. 
 
 All words of three letters can be trans- 
 muted by an agreement with twelve people. 
 Now take the negative number five. It 
 takes seventy-two times five before an equal 
 division of the circle can be made, and to 
 get an agreement with seventy-two people 
 is quite difficult, so we say, all people who 
 believe they should work out their life 
 problems by the five senses, or by using 
 words of five letters, are using the beast 
 mind, and know not God or his laws ; do not 
 realize they are creators, and use things 
 that are brought into manifestation on the 
 material plane for them to use. These are 
 the people who follow along conventional 
 lines and never have an idea of their own. 
 
 Seven is quite a prophetic number with 
 the twelve fold being, for in passing around 
 
72 PHILOLOGY 
 
 the circle, seven brings you to a point 
 opposite that from which you started. You 
 reach your polarity or the negative influ- 
 ence. This is the point from which your 
 creations, return to you, be they good or 
 bad. In seven months or in passing through 
 that part of the circle from the vernal equi- 
 nox in the spring to the autumnal equinox 
 in the fall, we have the creation of the fruits 
 of the earth and the month of rest or thank- 
 fulness, the ingathering of God's bounty, 
 and the reward of our faith and labors. 
 Faith and works always go together. Follow- 
 ing the month in which the autumnal 
 equinox takes place we have five months of 
 winter, when God destroys that which has 
 been created, so that a new heaven and a 
 new earth may be brought forth. So it is 
 with us, seven days, months or years of con- 
 structive thinking, then five of adjustment 
 that a better and grander expression of God 
 can be brought forth. This has been made 
 necessary by our own conceit; by our fail- 
 ing to recognize God as the only power and 
 the only presence. All people are a part of 
 our unity and necessary to our fullest ex- 
 pression of God. An injury to one is an 
 injury to all. 
 
PHILOLOGY 73 
 
 The one perfect church, that John the 
 revelator speaks of, was one having twelve 
 letters — Philadelphia — The complete circle. 
 Start your letters at the vernal equinox. 
 Adam, four letter, use the map in the 
 fore part of the book commence at the 
 right and count up, Aries, Taurus, Gem- 
 ini and Cancer — Fire. Earth, Air and 
 Water — all there is of material substance. 
 So the Adam man is the flesh and blood 
 man, created from the fruits of the earth, 
 made of the dust of the earth, which 
 he has been a long number of years 
 in consuming and which returns to dust 
 when the spirit is through using it to ex- 
 press itse 1 ^ 
 
 Nov/ take the sentence, "God the Son," 
 three words of three letters each, nine 
 letters. Nine months from conception to 
 birth, nine days, months or years for our 
 thoughts to be born into manifestation, if 
 we are in that consciousness; a period of 
 gestation necessary to make a complete 
 circle. In the nine months from conception 
 to birth, we, each of us, have passed 
 through nine classifications of mind, or nine 
 points in the circle of the twelve fold being. 
 
74 PHILOLOGY 
 
 There are three others necessary to com- 
 plete our perfect number when we become 
 so highly developed that we use the entire 
 circle in all we do and work out evexy 
 problem by intuition. 
 
 "God the Father," twelve letters, or a 
 complete circle. All of Jesus' instantaneous 
 healings were made in the name of the 
 Father. He connected up with the com- 
 plete circle. The starting point used in the 
 stories of the bible are from both equinoxes. 
 That of Abram starts with the fall equinox 
 when the covenant gave him and his des- 
 cendants, — the people of the following five 
 months or constellations — all the land. Ab- 
 ram, five letters, takes in the winter months 
 or constellations. When he came to the 
 Spring Equinox, the covenant was renewed 
 and his name changed to Abraham, a word 
 of seven letters, representing all the people 
 born in the following seven months, or 
 under the seven summer constellations. 
 This shows plainly the two covenants and 
 the two names gave the land to all 
 the people born during the twelve months, 
 that is as much of it as they could use, no 
 more. The control of land for which you 
 
PHILOLOGY 75 
 
 have no use is in direct opposition to the 
 teaching of the Bible and is the foundation 
 of every monopoly under the sun. Only 
 people who are worshiping the god of 
 mammon have a desire to control all the 
 land. The control of land will shortly be 
 spoken of as a relic of a barbarious age, 
 for the god of mammon has been deposed 
 in the heavens and the spiritual God who 
 recognizes the brotherhood of man and 
 justice, is pouring out his influence upon 
 earth at the present time, and woe to him 
 who does not fall in tune with the infinite. 
 While nations come and go, words never 
 change but go on forever. There are more 
 than three hundred words used in common 
 by all peoples of this world, and each have 
 a certain influence. God's laws are fixed, 
 unchangeable, positive, the same yesterday, 
 today and forever. These laws are no res- 
 pecter of persons and work for people who 
 are considered both good and bad with equal 
 regularity and results. The rain descends 
 upon the just and the unjust. Good and 
 bad are relative terms of the same thing, 
 the positive and negative. We are all bad 
 when we say two and two are five, but 
 
76 PHILOLOGY 
 
 as soon as we repent and say two and two 
 equal four we have earned and reap the 
 reward that is in store for the just. So it 
 is with all of God's laws. 
 
 An eminent leader in the Methodist 
 Church once said he "had tried hard all his 
 life to use scriptural language but the vern- 
 acular of the street would creep in spite of 
 all he could do. The twelfth chapter of Judg- 
 es says: "Forty and two thousand of the 
 Ephramites fumbled at the word and in 
 consequence lost their lives." You and I 
 may not be so placed that we would lose 
 our lives if we fumbled at the word, but 
 every negative statement we make brings 
 an unfavorable condition to be overcome, or 
 to be blotted out the same as we blot out 
 our mathematical errors. While correcting 
 errors we should think positive, constructive 
 thoughts, they will give us abundant life, 
 wealth and happiness. Therefore it is im- 
 portant that we be as near "letter perfect" 
 in all scriptural statements we use, as 
 possible. It is also important that when 
 we have been posted in spiritual statements 
 we use them as often as possible in all our 
 conversation, for the use of words makes 
 
PHILOLOGY 77 
 
 us what we are, ever bearing in mind "the 
 letter killeth but the spirit giveth life." 
 
 The study of mathematics and the zodiac 
 will help cultivate intuition. The study of 
 the zodiac is knowledge of things to come 
 and undoubtedly is the most sublime, the 
 most interesting and the most useful science 
 cultivated by man. Our faculties are en- 
 larged by the grandeur of the ideas it con- 
 veys, our minds exalted above the prejudic- 
 es of the ignorant and our understanding 
 convinced of the existance, wisdom, power 
 and immutability of a Supreme Being. It 
 is one of the earliest sciences cultivated by 
 man and the plan by which everything is 
 brought into manifestation is contained in 
 its teachings. This is why people who are 
 teaching illusions are opposed to an inves- 
 tigation of it. It is a science that can not 
 be exploited, consequently has no place in 
 a religion based on dollars. 
 
 Meditation is also good but one should 
 never argue against his Divine Self regard- 
 ing intuition, when it is recognized, act. 
 Reason comes from the moon mind and 
 builds conscience, which is negative and 
 secretive. This is why there is so much 
 
78 PHILOLOGY 
 
 variance in conscience. Intuition is absolute 
 knowledge, and knows no law except the 
 law of self expression. It is neither argu- 
 mentative nor resistant. It is a positive af- 
 firmation that comes to all alike, to some 
 much stronger than others. It, like music, 
 or love, can be cultivated; first by recogni- 
 tion, second by acting when it comes, third 
 by appreciation. The more you can be 
 thankful for the benefits received by acting 
 on intuition the more intuition you will have 
 to be thankful for. Such is the law. 
 
 Prayer is one of the best means of con- 
 centration and Jesus gave some splendid 
 lessons on how to pray. In prayer as in 
 everything else there is a satisfying way 
 and a way that brings no such results, there 
 is a distinct line between the two. One is to 
 recognize and make your prayer for the 
 benefit of the whole circle, your complete 
 self, thinking only of your perfect state, of 
 God, of the spiritual man, of every good 
 thing a God should be. If you are a bruis- 
 ed finger the other eleven parts of you are 
 so perfect that the bruised finger detracts 
 very little from the complete whole, and if 
 you recognize the perfectness of the com- 
 
PHILOLOGY 79 
 
 plete whole, the bruised finger is as perfect 
 as the rest. It is cured. Two things in all 
 your prayers to remember, recognition and 
 thankfulness. If on the contrary your pray- 
 er is of the material, individual and the 
 material world, you have circumscribed your 
 thinking power to a very small part of you. 
 You may get results on one plain of your 
 being, but it is always at the expense of 
 some other and is never satisfying. 
 
 Quit naming negative things, and the 
 world will rise up and call you blessed, and 
 crown you with an everlasting crown of love. 
 To me the worst sinners are those who are 
 continually naming negative or unreal 
 things; continually talking disease in all its 
 forms, thereby creating those conditions to 
 be manifested by themselves and their hear- 
 ers. Jesus said deny that which is evil. 
 Only those who use the beast mind, the 
 instinctive mind, with no knowledge what- 
 ever of right thinking or of God and his 
 laws, talk disease. Whenever you talk 
 disease you are a sinner and are apt to be 
 shunned by right thinking people, by people 
 who are trying to think positive thoughts 
 
80 PHILOLOGY 
 
 that harmony may come here on earth as 
 it is in the heavens. 
 
 The recognition that thoughts have an 
 effect for good or ill as being taught by 
 many societies and cults will bring the 
 manifestation about much greater, sooner 
 and easier than it could have been done a 
 few years ago, so that with every succeed- 
 ing month and year we should all become 
 more and more conscious of what the fruit 
 of our thoughts will be and strive to think 
 only about the things we would like to see 
 or be, ever remembering that education in 
 things spiritual comes through experience 
 and demonstration. What would the life 
 of Jesus be without the healing? Manifesta- 
 tion of good to others is the sign following 
 the right understanding of Divine principle. 
 
CHAPTER V 
 Your God and Mine 
 
 "As wider skies broke on his riew 
 God greatened in his growing mind, 
 Each year he dreamed his God anew 
 And left his older God behind. 
 
 He saw the boundless scheme dilate 
 In star and blossom, sky and clod; 
 And as the universe grew great, 
 He dreamed for it a Greater God." 
 
 — Anon. 
 Your God and mine is what our thought 
 has made Him. God becomes greater as 
 the thinker becomes more universal in 
 thought. The combined thought of all the 
 people of the world is God made manifest. 
 This thought when quickened by spirit is 
 born into a manifestation of the things we 
 hear, see, smell, touch and taste. Mankind 
 spends much time trying to adjust things 
 after they are created instead of realizing 
 they are creators, in that they are continu- 
 ally changing spirit into different forms of 
 expression. As a drop of water is one with 
 the ocean, or a ray of light one with the 
 
82 GOD 
 
 sun, so is man one with God, that divine 
 principle which is omnipresent, omnipotent 
 and omniscient, 
 
 "God the Father" is represented in our 
 scriptures as the circle in the heavens 
 which we call our Zodiac. This is not only 
 so with the Christian scriptures but has 
 been and is so with every religion under the 
 sun, in every clime and every age. If you 
 know the Father then you know God, in 
 part. 
 
 Only people who have a false conception 
 of God and the Father will try to keep you 
 from the knowledge that will set you free. 
 A little study of the Zodiac will convince 
 one that it is the Father of all mankind, as 
 all must be born under some part of it, and 
 all partake of the nature of that part under 
 which they are bom. Jesus understood 
 this as the many references he made to it 
 testify. 
 
 "The words that I speak unto you I 
 speak not of myself but the Father that 
 dwelleth in me, he doeth the works." John 
 14-10. 
 
 "I came forth from the Father and am 
 come unto the world; again I leave the 
 
GOD 83 
 
 world and go to the Father." John 26-27. 
 
 " Where no law is, there is no trans- 
 gression. Therefore it is of faith, that it 
 might be by grace to the end the promise 
 might be sure to all the seed; not to that 
 only which is of the law, but to that also 
 which is of the faith of Abraham, who is 
 the Father of us all." Romans 4: 15-16. 
 
 Who or what is Abraham? The story 
 where the name was changed from Abram 
 to Abraham shows that the two names 
 composed of twelve letters, represent the 
 twelve divisions of the Zodiac or the Father 
 of us all, white or black, bond or free, high 
 or low, rich or poor. 
 
 God the Father is principle and the first 
 law of principle for us to recognize and 
 learn is that of agreement. This law of 
 agreement is not made with one person 
 but with many. When made with all the 
 people who compose the circle it is absolute 
 justice, consequently everything that comes 
 from God the Father is right. 
 
 God the Son is all people represented by 
 the dot in the circle. I am the son of God. 
 I and my Father are one. Now for me to 
 be one with the whole circle or Father I 
 
 M^^^BH 
 
84 GOD 
 
 must be one with all the dot represents, 
 which is all the people. I become at one- 
 ment with all the people by the law of 
 agreement. When I become conscious of 
 this oneness, then I can truly say I am 
 one with the Father. He in me and I in 
 Him. It is the Father that worketh in me. 
 
 Every attempt at division takes you 
 further from God, further from spiritual 
 consciousness; and every move or thought 
 towards unity takes you closer to God and 
 divine principle. 
 
 The Bible of the Christians, like all 
 pagan Bibles, is a means of centering the 
 thought on things of nature, to create the 
 greatest good to the greatest number. It 
 is not a history of events that took place 
 long ago, or of a people that lived in ages 
 gone by, but an allegory of Divine princi- 
 ple w r hich every one is using today. We 
 are Adam, all the Adam there ever was, 
 and we not only name the beasts and birds 
 but we name everything and whatsoever we 
 — Adam — name them, that is the name 
 thereof. 
 
 Remember, in the beginning was the word 
 and the word always sets the Law in motion 
 
GOD 85 
 
 that makes it so. By thy word thou shall be 
 justified and by thy word thou shall be 
 condemned. God's laws are all passive until 
 set in motion by the word and then every- 
 thing comes into manifestation by the law 
 of agreement. "Know then thyself, presume 
 not God to scan, the proper study of man- 
 kind is man. All are but parts of one 
 stupendous whole, whose body Nature is 
 and God the soul." To study man or 
 nature, numbers or mathematics must be 
 employed, they are the best means of con- 
 centration known. Scientific thinking when 
 applied to the sun, moon and stars, as well 
 as to our earth and all upon it, becomes 
 Astrology and this is the foundation of 
 every Bible in the world. The writings of 
 Ezekiel, Daniel and the other Hebrew pro- 
 phets are esoteric treatises on the nature 
 of man thinly disguised as predictions. 
 In them nations and personages play the 
 same parts that are performed by the 
 heavenly bodies in Revelations. 
 
 A more beneficial use can be had of the 
 Bible by understanding its foundation, 
 which is the heavens and the heavenly 
 bodies. They are used to explain spiritual 
 
86 GOD 
 
 matters and mental attainments by the 
 use of spirit and matter. Use demonstrates 
 the value of everything. The value of your 
 thought and mine depends upon how we 
 use it. The Bible is the most useful book 
 ever given to mankind because there has 
 been more thought bestowed upon it than 
 any book ever written and more benefits can 
 be obtained by its perusal. By having a 
 good mental understanding of the physical 
 body we can better comprehend and become 
 conscious of the spiritual. There is one 
 mind which is God. There are several divi- 
 sions of this one mind, all of which are 
 created by man the better to explain the 
 effects of certain principles or laws. Indi- 
 vidually we are creators up to the point 
 where we interfere with the right of some 
 one else, when the cosmic mind calls a halt 
 and says "only by agreement can you go 
 further." 
 
 It now becomes necessary that we should 
 understand what this law of agreement is 
 and how made. Man has divided the great 
 circle of the heavens through which the 
 earth and the planets travel, — the apparent 
 path of the sun, called the ecliptic, — into 
 
GOD 87 
 
 twelve groups of stars or clusters called 
 constellations. The twelve constallations of 
 the zodiac. The twelve Tribes of Israel 
 They observed that a person born with 
 any particular one of these constella- 
 tions upon the eastern horizon had a 
 peculiar and distinctive classification of 
 mind. That all persons born when the 
 constellation Aries was upon the eastern 
 horizon had the same likes and dislikes, 
 were warm blooded and firey in their 
 nature, were foremost in all their under- 
 takings leaders in thought and action, 
 inclined to be quick tempered, but 
 not to retain anger. Those born with that 
 cluster of stars called Taurus upon the 
 eastern horizon have an entirely different 
 classification of mind. They can see the 
 comical and amusing side of the most 
 serious events, have great endurance and 
 energy; when provoked are as stubborn as 
 the bull. The twins have the double nature 
 and are often found running two different 
 kinds of business at the same time. So 
 with the others, they were given names and 
 symbols denoting their peculiar classifica- 
 tion of mind as follows: 
 
88 
 
 GOD 
 
 The Sky Man or Father.

 "and he cast down the pieces of silver in 
 the temple and went out and hanged him- 
 self", but a later writer seeing the error 
 astrologically, and to teach us a spiritual 
 lesson, says in Acts 1-18: 7< Now this man, 
 purchased a field with the reward of in- 
 
GOD 89 
 
 iquity, and falling headlong, he burst 
 asunder in the midst, and all his bowels 
 gushed out.'" Contemplate for a moment 
 that this picture of the man with his 
 bowels gushed out has come down to us 
 these eighteen hundred years and is to be 
 found at every fireside where an almanac 
 is used. Think of the lesson it is to teach 
 as the reward of iniquity. 
 
 Each constellation represents a distinct 
 and different classification of mind and 
 distinct marks, moles or scars are to be 
 found upon each and every person. Every 
 person coming into the world must be born 
 when some one of the twelve signs were 
 upon the eastern horizon. The twelve rep- 
 resent or compose the spiritual man, and 
 we are each, one twelfth part of that man, 
 for the body is not one member but many. 
 A person born of Aries cannot say unto 
 the hand, Gemini, I have no use for you, 
 nor again the Ram to the Fishes, I have no 
 need for you, for we are continually using 
 each of the other eleven members of our 
 spiritual body, just as we do our physical 
 body. * 'Those members of the body which 
 we think to be less honorable, upon these 
 
90 GOD 
 
 we bestow more abundant honor* ' "and 
 those members which seem to be more 
 feeble are necessary". Remember we are 
 the body of Christ-Truth. You and I are 
 members in particular with all other mem- 
 bers, and whatever we agree upon IS. This 
 explains Popes lines wherein he says: 
 "whatever is, is right". It is right, just as 
 the law of mathematics is right, because 
 everything comes by a just and equitable 
 law, the law of agreement. If we do not 
 like what is, then it is up to us to make it 
 better by making a more satisfactory use of 
 the law. 
 
 Every time you make a person think 
 better of himself, you have not only bene- 
 fitted him but through him you have been 
 a benefit to all mankind. Every time you 
 belittle a man in his own estimation, you 
 not only kick him down, but all mankind 
 feels the blow of your direct action, and 
 you have worked an injury on all; then the 
 reaction comes to you. No one can build 
 themselves up by pulling some one else 
 down. Fear enters the heart of him who 
 tries it, and fear brings its own reward. 
 Probably there never was as much fear 
 
GOD 91 
 
 manifest in this country as there is today. 
 It makes one sad to think about the har- 
 vest. Re-action follows direct action as 
 certain as winter follows summer. Every- 
 thing possible should be done to overcome 
 this thought of fear. Repeat as often as 
 you can the ninety first Psalm, that a 
 thousand thoughts of fear shall not come 
 nigh thee, and ten thousand evil thoughts 
 shall fall on stony ground, where they fail 
 to take root and grow into a manifestation. 
 When the act does not have the approval 
 of the subconscious mind then fear enters 
 the heart. Wherever there is fear there 
 is sin, the result of a broken command of 
 God. A righteous person, that is a right 
 thinking person is absolutely without fear, 
 for that person knows God is good and all 
 is for the best. "There were they in fear, 
 where no fear was". Fear is the beginning 
 of wisdom. Knowledge casts out fear. 
 
 Fear not. Use no negative words, never 
 say "If" to God. Do not ask to be healed 
 of disease or poverty, but ask to manifest 
 health, prosperity and abundance. The 
 word is a seed, it will grow. Leave the how, 
 when and where to the working of the law. 
 
92 GOD 
 
 As we are continually thinking, we are con- 
 tinually creating or changing spirit into 
 substance and substance into physical 
 forms of expression. You can never add 
 to or take from that which is, always was 
 and ever will be. 
 
 There is but one God, Unity. There is 
 but one mind, Unity. There is but one 
 truth, which can be tested. A truth that 
 cannot be tested should not be trusted. You 
 shall know the truth and the truth shall 
 set you free. Free from what? Free from 
 fear, war, want, physical ailments, pesti- 
 lence, disease and every disagreable condi- 
 tion of life. Yet it is quite evident that 
 many of us lack a knowledge of truth. In 
 Matthew (7-15) we read: "Beware of false 
 prophets, which come to you in sheep's 
 clothing, but inwardly they are ravening 
 wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. 
 Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of 
 thistles?" "Wherefore by their fruits Ye 
 shall know them." The fruit we are har- 
 vesting today in war and tribulation is any- 
 thing but desirable. However, all undesir- 
 able conditions are to teach us the law. 
 Will we learn the lesson or will this civiliza- 
 
GOD 9% 
 
 tion pass from off the earth as did the 
 Roman civilisation because her masters 
 selfishly appropriated the wealth of her 
 people and reduced them to servitude, ig- 
 norance and fear? 
 
 To an Astrologer the conditions of today 
 are entirely different. If we look at the 
 heavens we find they are vastly different 
 today from what they were when Nero 
 fiddled at the fall of Rome; or when Jesus 
 was shown the magnificent buildings erect- 
 ed by large combinations of capital and 
 made that wonderful prediction which was 
 fulfilled thirty-five short years afterwards. 
 He said: "Be ye not deceived of men, the 
 day shall come when not one stone shall 
 rest upon another." Buildings or Govern- 
 ments, erected at the expense of the masses 
 for the benefit of the few cannot last or 
 endure. At that date the heavens showed 
 the god of mammon — Jupiter — to be the 
 ruler of the heavenly hosts, and it follow- 
 ed on earth as in heaven. Today it is alto- 
 gether different. In the heavens today the 
 god of mammon has been deposed, for 
 Jupiter is no longer the leader of the 
 heavenly hosts, but has given way to the 
 
94 GOD 
 
 newly re-disCovered planet Neptune. Nep- 
 tune's mission is to restore "Iesous Christ- 
 os," the first born from "the dead" — the 
 intuitive mind. Intuition is the first of 
 man's dormant spiritual faculties to awak- 
 en, bringing certain knowledge and becom- 
 ing the dominant power of his life. 
 
 Neptune now being the ruler of the heav- 
 enly hosts, it follows that any society or 
 collection of people who put out the word 
 that sets the law in motion to make mani- 
 fest on earth the things that are in the 
 heavens, are working along the line of 
 Unity and cannot fail of success. They and 
 their kind will not perish from off the 
 earth, but are needed that God may be 
 manifest more abundantly. This divine 
 principle, which we call God, is not mocked 
 but rewards each and every one according 
 to how they use it. 
 
 It is but natural to ask "why do I not 
 have a rememberance of past lives?" First 
 the moon mind, which is very fickle and 
 uncertain, registers only the experience of 
 this life ; past lives have their records in the 
 soul or sun mind and are brought out by 
 intuition. We have neglected to recognize, 
 
GOD 95 
 
 cultivate and appreciate intuition and are 
 therefore in bondage to the moon mind; we 
 
 are servants of God instead of being sons 
 of God because we have failed to recognize 
 "Our Father which is in Heaven" from 
 whom all blessings flow, and from whom 
 intuition comes. The Complete Circle — 
 
 "Turn from the lower mind that nothing knows, 
 To the eternal mind, whence wisdom flows; 
 Cease with the senses limpingly to plod, 
 And tread on aether, like the winged God; 
 'Til man instructed in the sacred lore, 
 Shall wisdom gain, and time shall be no more'/' 
 — Restored New Testament. 
 
CHAPTER VI 
 Involution 
 
 "Remember, man, "the Universal Cause 
 Acts not by partial, but by general laY*rs," 
 And makes what happiness we justly call, 
 Subsist, not in the good of one, but ALL." 
 
 — Pope. 
 
 Many prominent scientists believe in the 
 cycle theory. There is one cycle of the sun 
 and another of the moon, also another of 
 man. 
 
 When Prof. Agassiz started the investiga- 
 tion of evolution he took up the study of 
 Ichthology, — the fish, — and said they 
 were evolving all right, but in the wrong 
 direction, becoming less and less. This 
 would seem to indicate that everything, in- 
 cluding man himself, is typical of the sun 
 and travels in cycles. 
 
 Man reached the lowest or nadir point 
 in his evolution when he created the five 
 senses and divided his world — the circle — 
 and himself into a being of seventy two 
 parts. 5-^-360=72. Here he was using five 
 
98 INVOLUTION 
 
 degrees of the circle, which Astrologers a 
 thousand or two years ago called decanates 
 and thought mankind was of such small 
 caliber he could be found manifesting in 
 one of them. Today the five senses are 
 not considered very seriously arid the other 
 divisions of seventy two are almost entirely 
 forgotten, such as the seventy two names 
 of Deity; the seventy two constellations in 
 the heavens; the seventy two beats of the 
 heart, etc. We are becoming more and 
 more conscious of the twelve fold manifes- 
 tation, and the law and the word that 
 makes it so. Many have added the sixth 
 sense which gives a good working hypoth- 
 esis for an understanding of truth. 
 
 This sixth sense which is only partially 
 understood and not scientifically used, will 
 rapidly become a leading factor in many 
 lives. Recognition is the first step, then 
 an investigation and the truth is establish- 
 ed by faith. This may properly be called 
 intuition — The hunch, as the gambler calls 
 it. — A very excellent book called "Intui- 
 tion", by a man named Weston has made 
 its appearance and will help much to give 
 an understanding of this sense. It is the 
 
INVOLUTION 99 
 
 first of the spiritual gifts and shows us 
 mankind, fast turning from the material 
 beast mind to the spiritual or Divine mind 
 that never makes a mistake. 
 
 Intuition comes strong to all people born 
 when the spiritual planet Neptune was upon 
 the eastern horizon or in the mid-heaven 
 at the time of their birth. During the 
 past fifteen years I have talked with seve- 
 ral hundred people concerning intuition and 
 have yet to find the first person who has 
 made a mistake by following the voice from 
 within, those strong impressions that come 
 in our passive moments, and prove a bless- 
 ing when acted upon. 
 
 By intuition President Lincoln wrote his 
 emancipation proclamation in opposition to 
 the advice of such men as Seward and 
 Greeley. By intuition Edgar Allen Poe 
 wrote his wonderful poems. By intuition 
 Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's 
 Cabin, and every successful person in any 
 line has achieved that success by following 
 that great gift of God to man — Intuition. 
 
 When we stop to argue or reason with 
 our Divine self against the "voice", we 
 make mistakes and wake up with a regret 
 
100 INVOLUTION 
 
 and exclaim "If I had only followed my 
 hunch/' In order to get the intuitive 
 thought and be able to follow it, you must 
 get all preconceived impressions out of your 
 heart, or sub-conscious mind. Meditate on 
 the saying of the Nazarene who showed us 
 the way. "Except you become as a little 
 child you cannot enter the kingdom of hea- 
 ven." How do we become as little children 
 and what is the kingdom of heaven? These 
 are questions that naturally arise. Unless 
 you know God and God's laws, unless you 
 know you are a son and heir and know 
 what makes you so, you are using the beast 
 mind and are in darkness. The beast mind 
 is instinct, the mind all animals use, the 
 mind that belongs in the lower half of 
 the circle. You cannot enter the upper 
 half until you become as a little child. How 
 is this done? The little child knows no 
 evil, sees no evil, hears no evil, speaks no 
 evil, until we commence to impress its 
 subconscious mind with things we call evil. 
 To become as a little child it is necessary 
 to get out of our subconscious mind, — or 
 heart as the Bible puts it, — all evil, hatred, 
 malice, criticism and everything caused by 
 
101 INVOLUTION 
 
 a negative line of thinking. Get away from 
 conventionalities. Our heart is then in a 
 condition that truth, instead of error, can 
 be impressed upon it, so that we will be 
 expressing truth to the world in spirit, 
 word and deed. 
 
 Thought is mind in the negative conscious 
 state; spirit is mind in the positive con- 
 scious state, matter is mind in a condensed 
 or solidified state. Thought is the con- 
 ception which the spirit mind brings into 
 manifestation. By thinking, you gather the 
 substance which finds expression in some 
 condensed form as soon as your thought 
 has accumulated substance to express it- 
 self. Always think of your thoughts as 
 gathering this substance. By doing this 
 you will become more and more conscious 
 of what you are creating. Your attention 
 being called to the fruits, you realize the 
 seed and will be more often found repeating 
 the nineteenth Psalm. Let the words of 
 my mouth and the meditation I am im- 
 pressing upon my heart or subconscious 
 mind be such that in its expression will be 
 acceptable to all. 
 
 Everything you impress upon your heart 
 
102 INVOLUTION 
 
 under the realization of the five senses, 
 you express after the manner of the beasts 
 that is why you are using the beast mind. 
 All such creation is a manifestation of the 
 instinctive mind, because self is the spirit 
 back of it. Always keep the circle in mind 
 as Unity. Work out your problems by the 
 law of agreement. Agree with thine adver- 
 sary quickly. Take a look at the circle, 
 with the dot in it, Unity, the perfect man 
 using the whole of the complete circle, 
 three hundred and sixty degrees. When 
 we loose consciousness of a complete circle 
 and create in our imagination a Trinity, 
 we have divided our circle up into twelve 
 equal parts. We still further lose con- 
 sciousness of God, or a complete circle, 
 when we believe in the five senses. Here 
 we have man manifesting upon five degrees 
 of the circle, condemning everything done 
 by the other three hundred and fifty five 
 degrees. Only for a short period did the 
 majority of mankind divide up into a being 
 of seventy two parts, into a Shem Hampho- 
 rasch being who believes in worshiping a 
 God with seventy two names. These names 
 
INVOLUTION 10S 
 
 are shown in the following two cuts, thirty 
 six names on each: 
 
 Besides the two Tables of Stone given to 
 Moses there were twelve other Tables and 
 the twelfth was "The Table of Shem Ham- 
 porasch, a word of fifteen letters, which 
 reduces down to three (3-f-360=120) or five 
 (5-^-360=72). This is probably the correct 
 
INVOLUTION 
 
 104 
 
 spelling of the word but you see at a glance 
 that Shem, Ham and Japeth, the three sons 
 of Noah, came from this same word and 
 these three sons lived to the age of 120 
 years and divided the world into three 
 equal parts of one hundred and twenty 
 degrees each. Thus man got away from his 
 God of seventy two names; yet it is sur- 
 prising how many of them can be found in 
 our present day Bible. 
 
105 INVOLUTION 
 
 It is not so easy to get an agreement 
 with such a large number, so mankind 
 started his journey back to his Father's 
 house or Unity. He has ceased to use 
 seventy two names for his God and is be- 
 coming more and more conscious of the law 
 he has used to enslave himself, and is more 
 often found repeating the forty sixth 
 Psalm: "Be still, and know that I am God; 
 I will be exalted among the heathen, I will 
 be exalted in the earth." Are you number- 
 ed with the exalted or with the heathen? 
 
 Events are happening with such rapidity 
 that it is not difficult to tell the sheep from 
 the goats. The sheep have no fear, while 
 the goats are scared at every wind that 
 blows. 
 
 George Berkeley, a seventeenth century 
 metaphysician, says: "We have no know- 
 ledge, except of ideas. The whole universe 
 thus constructed is a product of mind and 
 purely spiritual/' Self consciousness is what 
 we by our reasoning, or moon mind, have 
 impressed upon the subconscious mind and 
 are expressing every day. This is what 
 mortal man is. Universal consciousness 
 expressing itself through us when we act 
 
106 INVOLUTION 
 
 upon the spontanious intuitive thoughts 
 that come to us. Greater is he who acts 
 on his intuition than he who takes a city. 
 Intuition is truth personified and the more 
 you appreciate the good it brings you, the 
 more it will come for the appreciation. God's 
 Laws contain infinite possibilities, but they 
 can only be brought out by the operation 
 of the mind of man. 
 
 Between forty and fifty years ago, when 
 a boy, I brought home a book written by 
 Jules Verne, entitled, "Around the World 
 in Eighty Days." I was asked who wrote 
 that book? On being informed, my mother 
 replied: "Yes a crazy Frenchman, no one 
 else could think of such a preposterous 
 thing; if we had him here in Connecticut 
 we would have him in the insane asylum." 
 Not many years later the globe was en- 
 circled in much less than eighty days. An- 
 other apparently far fetched stretch of im- 
 agination by the same author, soon after 
 made its appearance, called "Forty Leagues 
 Under the Sea." My mother did not live 
 to see the realization of this thought, set 
 in motion so many years ago, but the per- 
 formance of the Deutchland shows plainly 
 
INVOLUTION 107 
 
 that thoughts are things, which find ex- 
 pression on the material plane. These are 
 but two of many thousands of cases where 
 thought has been born into manifestation. 
 Any person who has passed the three score 
 mile stone of life needs but start a little 
 retrospection to know how their thoughts 
 have sprung up into real tangible evidence 
 to stare them in the face. 
 
 Most of us however are in bondage to 
 law because we must learn the law before 
 we can use it. Remember the law is pas- 
 sive until set in motion by the word. The 
 word, or our thought, creates ideas which 
 are the seed that in due time will produce 
 manifestations after their kind. Every- 
 thing has a hidden name, or the name has 
 back of it a principle that should be recog- 
 nized as a reason for using the word. 
 
 When incarnated, the soul is spoken of as 
 being dead; its return to the Father is its 
 resurrection to life eternal. The allegory of 
 the vineyard is a reference to the duality 
 of mind. The intuitive or sun mind is 
 represented as the beloved son, who is 
 slain by the husbandman or the reasoning 
 moon mind. 
 
INVOLUTION 108 
 
 Spirituality is built up by a knowledge of 
 truth concerning mind and matter. Truth 
 knows no fear; fear is the product of illu- 
 sions. The moon mind is mental ; from this 
 comes all conception. An understanding of 
 its use brings you the things you desire ; its 
 abuse brings you things undesirable. The 
 sun mind is spiritual and brings the con- 
 ceptions of the moon mind into physical 
 manifestation. The law governing these 
 two classifications of the one mind is God. 
 We are continually using the law, and Jesus 
 says, it is the schoolmaster that will lead 
 us to the Christ or Truth. These two minds 
 must agree, to bring a physical manifesta- 
 tion. 
 
 A study of the sun, moon and stars 
 shows us their agreement, that there is a 
 time for everything under the sun; a time 
 to plant and a time to reap that which 
 was planted. The harvest is sure, but we 
 are left to choose the seed and the time 
 of planting. 0, what shall the harvest be? 
 This is left to you and me. 
 
 The infinite must be Unity. We cannot 
 separate God, for as soon as we do, duality 
 appears where each member is limited by 
 
INVOLUTION 109 
 
 the other, else there could be no duality. 
 The material school of thought judges 
 everything from a dual or physical view 
 point. This is a denial of God as Infinite, 
 and man as the image of God. The teach- 
 ings of all the learned sages, Jesus, Buddha, 
 Christna and the sixteen other crucified 
 saviors spoken of in "Bible Astrology," by 
 Stowe, were to bring mankind back to the 
 consciousness of the all including Unit of 
 Being. "I and my Father are One." "I am 
 God, and there is none else." Have illusions 
 placed you in the class with the heathen, or 
 can you say with Job, "I know that my 
 Redeemer liveth?" 
 
 In Matthew 22-29 it says: "Ye know 
 not the scriptures, neither the power of 
 God," or the law of God. In the law there 
 is limitless possibilities, but the word con- 
 tains the power, which we are too apt to 
 limit. The scriptures are true because they 
 contain the principle of the law. We know 
 the power of God only when we apply the 
 word to the principle and get the manifes- 
 tation. This our ancient brethren did under- 
 standing^, but with us it seems to be 
 obsolete. 
 
110 INVOLUTION 
 
 Spiritual truths are revealed by interior 
 illumination, they can not come from with- 
 out. Teaching by word of mouth or the 
 written page, acts only as a means of re- 
 viving latent memories in the sun mind or 
 subconscious mind, therefore meditate on 
 what you hear or read, ever remembering 
 that the inner' consciousness is the sole 
 source of true wisdom. That within each 
 human being is the one God, The Divine 
 Teacher, the only saviour for him. 
 
CHAPTER VII 
 Geometry 
 
 "Oh, where is the sea," the fishes cried, 
 As they swam the crystal clearness through; 
 "We've heard from old of the oceans tide, 
 And we long to look at the waters blue; 
 The wise ones speak of the infinite sea, 
 Oh, who can tell if such there be?" 
 
 The lark flew up in the morning bright, 
 And sang and balanced on sunny wings; 
 And this was its song: "I see the light, 
 I look o'er a world of beautiful things; 
 But flying and singing everywhere, 
 In vain I have searched to find the air." 
 
 Geometry, so we've oft been told, 
 
 Is mathematics dull and cold; 
 In looking for it you plainly see, 
 We are like the fishes in the sea; 
 Or the birds, in search of the air, 
 
 For we see it manifest everywhere. 
 
 Geometry, the first and noblest of 
 sciences, is the basis upon which Astrono- 
 my and Astrology are built. It furnishes 
 the symbols which demonstrate the use of 
 spirit, mind and matter, and show us how 
 we become creators and at-onement with 
 nature and nature's God. The first and 
 
112 GEOMETRY 
 
 greatest geometrical figure known to man- 
 kind is made with the compass as follows: 
 
 The dot represents the individual. The 
 circle is the boundry line beyond which he 
 is never to allow his passions, prejudices or 
 desires to betray him. Do you represent 
 the dot in the circle as the Son of God? 
 Possibly once on a time you did. 
 
 In going around the circle you neces- 
 sarily touch upon the other twelve mem- 
 
GEOMETRY 113 
 
 bers of your spiritual body, and as 
 long as you recognize and realize they 
 are as necessary to the perfect work- 
 ing of the law as any other part of the 
 body, or the part you physically represent, 
 you cannot materially err. There are twelve 
 foundation stones or divisions to this House 
 not made with hands, which is eternal in 
 the heavens. The foundation stone where 
 the Vernal Equinox takes place was once 
 upon a time called Boaz, denoting Faith. 
 This represents the East and Spring, where 
 the husbandman goes forth to labor, hav- 
 ing faith that mother earth will not withold 
 her increase from him. It is represented 
 by Aries, the Ram of March. 
 
 In the following illustration the circle 
 has been divided into two parts by the use 
 of the level. The level teaches equality, 
 for no matter which half you are manifest- 
 ing on, you are in no wise superior to the 
 other half, for in time all are brought to 
 the same level. Do not make yourself 
 miserable here on earth by quarreling 
 about which is good and which is bad. 
 They are both good. 
 
114 
 
 GEOMETRY 
 
 Sometimes we get so wrapped up in self 
 that we lose sight of the fact that all 
 there is of good or bad comes by compari- 
 son. When we are manifesting the good 
 we look at the other fellow and say: "I 
 thank the Lord I am not as he," and when 
 it comes our turn to manifest on the half 
 
GEOMETEY 115 
 
 we have named bad, the other fellow looks 
 at us and thanks the Lord he is not in our 
 condition. As the disagreeable things of 
 life are to teach us the law, there is a two- 
 fold reason why we should rejoice at what 
 we term our misfortunes, for we can profit 
 by them as well as give pleasure to our 
 brother, even though it be a false sense of 
 pleasure. Be not overcome with evil nor 
 carried beyond a just balance with good, 
 but know there is a time for everything 
 under the sun. 
 
 We now set up the plumb line in the 
 midst of Israel and divide the circle into 
 four equal parts, giving us the four cardi- 
 nal points, north, south, east and west, also 
 representing fire, earth, air and water. The 
 highest point reached by the sun in June 
 gives us the Summer Solstice. This is the 
 key-stone to the royal arch where we hope 
 to be bountifully rewarded for our labour, 
 our patience and our good deeds. We are 
 working on the inside of the circle and 
 dealing with spiritual matters, using the 
 Divine mind where equity and justice pre- 
 vails. As we reach the west gate we find 
 it represented by Jachin or the Fall Equi- 
 
116 
 
 GEOMETRY 
 
 nox and the scales of September. Here we 
 are weighed in the balance and rewarded 
 according to the thoughts we have bestow- 
 ed upon the different parts of the circle, 
 and become the arbiters of our own heavea 
 or hell. 
 
 Carpenters use the oblong square to 
 measure and lay out their work, mathema- 
 ticians use it to figure the different arcs 
 of the circle; when placed on the circle it 
 
GEOMETRY 117 
 
 becomes a tangent, see the following illust- 
 ration. Note that it starts from the indivi- 
 dual and runs away from all mankind, from 
 the soul of things to the thousand and one 
 nonessentials that go to make life full of 
 trials and tribulations. When things appear 
 to be going wrong with you, examine your- 
 self and see if you are not off on a tangent. 
 
 If it is not good for all the people who com- 
 pose your circle, you evidently are. Such 
 
118 
 
 GEOMETRY 
 
 being the case get back to unity, something 
 that is good for all. 
 
 When we run off on a tangent we are 
 using the beast mind only and can make 
 no agreement whereby our condition can 
 be improved. Tangents or oblong squares 
 may be useful to teach us the law and to 
 show man that of himself he is nothing, 
 that only by agreement can he progress. 
 
GEOMETRY 
 
 119 
 
 If we add the tangent to each of the four 
 cardinal points we have the following: 
 
 This is the way it was presented when 
 Ezekiel wrote his description of it. (Ezekiel

 ancient planispheres Aquilla, the eagle, with 
 his wings outspread, seemed to be flying 
 
120 GEOMETRY 
 
 down to take the place of the scorpion. This 
 is spoken of as a wheel in the middle of a 
 wheel, so I judge it was the square which 
 we must all pass to receive intuition. 
 
 Each constellation in our zodiac is called 
 a house and has a planet that is said to be 
 Lord of that House or constellation. Aries, 
 the ram, is the House of Mars. Sometimes 
 they are referred to as mansions in the sky. 
 Mars is Lord of Aries. Leo, the lion, is 
 the house of the Sun. It is sometimes 
 spoken of as Leo, the Lion of the tribe of 
 Judah, and the mansion of the Sun. The 
 Sun is Lord of the constellation Leo. When 
 the sun is in the constellation Leo it is the 
 glory and beauty of the year, being at its 
 most favorable point. Twelve thousand 
 seven hundred years ago the Vernal Equi- 
 nox took place in this constellation or 
 cluster of stars called Leo, the Lion of 
 the Tribe of Judah, and consequently was 
 the ruling influence of the world. 
 
 The precession of the equinox takes 2160 
 years to pass through a constellation. As 
 the sun passes through each sign, there is 
 a distinct change in religion and world 
 thought. Thus when the vernal equinox 
 
GEOMETRY 121 
 
 progressed out of this house or constella- 
 tion, all religions referred to it as the 
 sun of God falling from his high 
 estate — the fall of man. The vernal 
 equinox has about reached a point 
 opposite the House of the Sun, — its ex- 
 treme nadir point, — and is about to enter 
 the house of the Man, or the constellation 
 Aquarius, the waterman, giving us the 
 Aquarian age. As the precession of the 
 equinox starts back up the mountain to 
 regain its most exalted position, the coming 
 religions of the world will refer to the rise 
 of man instead of his fall. The human 
 race will become more and more conscious 
 of the upward trend In their evolution. 
 Each year they will recognize more and 
 more the brotherhood of man whereby they 
 are cemented into one common mass, where 
 the injury to one is the concern of all.

 The twelve gate city of God's abode con- 
 tains the perfect square referred to in our 
 scriptures. It is the one contained in the 
 circle with the four triangles: 
 
122 
 
 GEOMETRY 
 
 This is the square that connects us up 
 with all mankind, for it is impossible to 
 enter the Holy of Holies from any one of 
 the twelve gates or constellations without 
 passing the square. We each represent 
 some one of the twelve. We are the founda- 
 tion stones upon which the temple of God 
 is builded. We must pass the square to 
 get to the center, and can only pass it by 
 
GEOMETRY 
 
 123 
 
 squaring ourselves with all mankind and 
 obtaining their agreement to pass. One of 
 the greatest lessons in Geometry is the 
 law of agreement. The oblong squares are 
 made on the outside of the circle and are 
 used to figure the different arcs of the 
 circle; to use things that are brought into 
 manifestation — things for the beast mind 
 to use. The perfect square is to teach how 
 
124 
 
 GEOMETRY 
 
 we create things. There are many ways 
 of expressing this square, some of which 
 are here given. 
 
 The sun rising in the east symbolizes 
 physical birth; at High Twelve, life at its 
 prime; at Sunset, physical death; at Low 
 Twelve, life in the invisible world between 
 incarnations. These combined, produce the 
 complete circle and symbolize the perfect 
 man or the spiritual man. 
 
GEOMETRY 
 
 125 
 
 Here is another representation of the 
 perfect square where the conflicting spiri- 
 tual and animal principles are interlaced in 
 the human soul. As one writer expresses 
 it: Life is one long struggle against the 
 vagaries of thought, for our thoughts show 
 to the world which one of the principles 
 predominate in our lives. This is said to 
 be the root of the Kabbala — circle, square 
 and triangle. It is sometimes represented 
 with the circle inside of the square, which 
 is a creation of the beast mind. The Divine 
 mind has no concern outside of the circle, 
 consequently has no rough corners to break 
 off.

 "Four square it shall be, * * and thou 
 shall set in it settings of stones, * * and

 Here is a geometrical figure of that city 
 which lieth four-square; the precession of 
 the equinox will surely bring a time when 
 there will be no night there, and time will 
 not be counted by years.

 This house which is not made by hands 
 but is eternal in the heavens is represented 
 in India today after the above style, but in 
 nearly every other country the following 
 
 will be a familiar figure to many who have 
 given the study of the heavens a little at- 
 tention. It will be seen to represent the 
 twelve divisions of the heavens the same 
 as the other, except the cardinal points. The 
 
128 GEOMETRY 
 
 Vernal Equinox, the Summer Solstice, the 
 Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice, 
 have been brought out more prominent or 
 are contained in the middle chamber. 
 
 In the sixth and seventh chapter of 1st 
 Kings there is an interesting account of 
 this temple which Solomon built. It must 
 have been written about 4600 years ago 
 when the vernal equinox was in Taurus 
 the bull. The great laver or bath in 
 the courtyard of that temple stood upon 
 twelve oxen, three looking towards the 
 north, three looking towards the west, 
 three looking towards the south, and 
 three looking towards the east". So 
 Sol-aum-on "was king over all Isreal and 
 Solomon had twelve officers who provided 
 victuals for the King and his household; 
 each man in his month made provision. 
 Every man under his vine and under his 
 fig tree, from Dan even to Ber-sheba." 
 That is from the Vernal Equinox entirely 
 around the circle, for the vernal equinox 
 then took place in Taurus, the bull, which 
 was also called Dan. 
 
 "And Solomon sent to Hiram, King of 
 Tyre, saying: "And behold I purpose to 
 

 GEOMETRY 129 
 
 build a house unto the name of the Lord 
 my God, as the Lord spoke unto David my 
 father saying: Thy Son shall build an house 
 unto my name/' and King Solomon sent 
 and fetched Hiram out of Tyre; "and he 
 cast two pillars of brass of eighteen cubits 
 high" and a line of twelve cubits (constel- 
 lations) did compass them about. "And he 
 set up the pillars in the porch of the 
 temple, and he set up the right pillar and 
 called the name thereof Jachin and he set 
 up the left pillar and called the name 
 thereof Boaz." "The door for the middle 
 chamber was on the right side of the 
 house; and they went up with winding 
 stairs into the middle chamber, and out 
 of the middle chamber into the third." 
 1st Kings 6-8. 
 
 Now look at the last drawing; you pass 
 Boaz and enter the middle chamber at the 
 East gate or Vernal Equinox, which was 
 governed by the sacred ox or Bull, then 
 wind up through the cherubs, Gemini, and 
 through Cancer the Crab into Leo, the Lion 
 of the Tribe of Judah. Here the sun starts 
 to descend and we enter into the third 
 chamber, just as it is stated above, by the 
 
130 GEOMETRY 
 
 assistance of the Lion of the Tribe of 
 Judah. This third chamber is intuition. 
 
 Solomon was seven years in building the 
 temple, but the next verse says: "But 
 Solomon was building his own house 
 thirteen years." The seven years referred 
 to here are the seven summer months, from 
 the Vernal Equinox in the spring to the 
 autumnal Equinox in the fall, during 
 which time there was no rain. The thir- 
 teen years were moon months of 28 days 
 each and the sun or Sol-aum-on goes 
 through thirteen of these months to com- 
 plete his circuit. This is equivalent to say- 
 ing the cycle of the sun is thirteen months 
 of twenty eight days each, which was the 
 manner of counting time in those days. 
 At the present time there is some discus- 
 sion or agitation about changing our cal- 
 endar to thirteen months of twenty eight 
 days each and making "New Years day" a 
 legal holiday not belonging to any month. 
 On every fourth year or Leap Year, New 
 Year's day would consist of two holidays not 
 belonging to any month. This would make 
 the same day each month fall on the same 
 day of the week, that is, the 1st, 8th, 15th 
 
GEOMETRY 131 
 
 and 22nd of each month in every year 
 would be Sunday; the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 
 23rd would be Monday and so on. It 
 has been suggested that the extra month 
 be called "Liberty" and fall between March 
 and April. This is not as visionary as was 
 Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty 
 Days," or his "Thousand Leagues Under 
 the Sea," and will be born into an actual 
 condition just as soon as enough publicity 
 has been given the idea to gather or create 
 the force which makes it so; for every 
 manifestation is the result of thought being 
 put into action by using The Law and The 
 Word. 
 
 "Jacob set up a stone for a pillar and 
 he called the name of that place Beth-el." 
 It is also known as Boaz and as the Vernal 
 Equinox or the left hand pillar in the 
 porch of the temple. The right hand pillar 
 of the porch was called Jachin. These two 
 pillars, the one on the left and the other on 
 the right, are those upon which the world is 
 hung, or those upon which the heavens 
 rest. They represent the Vernal Equinox 
 of March and the Autumnal Equinox of 
 September and run through all sacred writ- 
 
132 GEOMETRY 
 
 ings of all peoples under various names. 
 As we pass from summer to winter, Sep- 
 tember 21st, the sun in Virgo, the virgin, 
 sinks below the equatorial line into the 
 sea in the west, and as the virgin looked 
 back at summer, she was turned into a 
 pillar of salt as Lot's wife. Virgo was the 
 elect lady spoken of in the second Epistle 
 of John: "And now I beseech thee, lady, 
 not as though I wrote a new command- 
 ment unto thee, but that which we had 
 from the beginning, that we 'Love one 
 another'." Love is the fulfilling of the 
 law that brings us back to Unity or God. 
 
 The most deplorable thing of all is the 
 lack of understanding regarding these 
 things, and how the wise old serpent wound 
 himself around these two pillars and has 
 been exploiting mankind ever since. Take a 
 look at the two pillars with the serpent coil- 
 ed around them and you will see why it is 
 so difficult for a rich man to enter into 
 the kingdom of heaven. We are all bound 
 by the things we try to control.

 In old myths these two pillars were sup- 
 posed to uphold the heavens and this ser- 
 pent-twined symbol tells the story why the 
 world, according to prophecy, has been 
 bound for one thousand two hundred and 
 three score years. We have been wor- 
 shiping the god of mammon; but the time 
 shall come and now is when the power 
 of the serpent shall be broken and the God 
 of mammon deposed. This has already been 
 done in the heavens, as every well informed 
 Astrologer knows, for Neptune, the spirit- 
 ual planet, is now ruler of the heavenly 
 
134

 hosts, having taken the place of Jupiter, 
 the god of mammon. 
 
 The triangle placed upon the top of the 
 square is said to represent the descent of 
 spirit into matter, which of course is only- 
 figurative, for matter IS spirit, or another 
 name for God made manifest. 
 
GEOMETRY 
 
 135 
 
 Here the triangle is represented as hav- 
 ing been turned down, the point reaching 
 the dot in the circle, the Holy of Holies or 
 Unity. The square is not equally divided 
 and in justice to all, the other three trian- 
 gles must be added to fulfil the inevitable 
 law of agreement, giving recognition to the 
 four elements, the four seasons, the four 
 corners of the earth and all other divisions 
 of four.

 The temple was four square "and had a 
 great and high wall with twelve gates, and 
 at the gates twelve angels, and names 
 written thereon which are the names of 
 the twelve Tribes of the children of Israel. 
 On the east three gates, on the north ,three 
 gates, on the south three gates and on the 
 west three gates." "And the wall of the 
 city had twelve foundations, and in them

 the names of the twelve apostles of the 
 Lamb." Rev. 21:12-13-14. 
 
 The names by which the twelve Tribes 
 of Israel or the Twelve Apostles of the 
 Lamb are known to the uninitiated are found 
 in our common almanac, and when they 
 see them in Holy writ or secular writings 
 they have no conscious working idea of their 
 meaning or the benefits to be derived by a 
 
138 GEOMETRY 
 
 knowledge of the Truth therein contained. 
 The Truth that would set them free. 
 
 This is only a modification of the perfect 
 square set with the stones that give the 
 names of the twelve tribes. You will see 
 this square without the characters thereon 
 in many of our modern buildings. Man- 
 kind is drifting from illusion back to Truth,

 A writer on the origin and symbols of 
 Masonry, in describing Aaron's Breastplate,

 He is evidently working with the oblong 
 
140 GEOMETRY 
 
 square and still in darkness regarding the 
 perfect square. The author of Exodus 
 however had progressed in that science 
 that is taught by degrees only, so far that 
 he was through with tangents or oblong 
 squares and knew whereof he wrote. "Four 
 square it shall be, being doubled; a span 
 shall be the length thereof, and a span 
 shall be the breadth thereof. And thou 
 shall set in it settings of stones, even four 
 rows of stones, * * * And the stones shall 
 be with the names of the children of Israel, 
 twelve according to their names, like the 
 engravings of a signet; every one with His 
 name shall they be according to the twelve 
 tribes." Exodus XXVIII 16 to 21. 
 
 The spiritual significance of Breastplates 
 is to ward off unfavorable thoughts. A 
 defence in time of trouble. To be effective 
 it must recognize the circle and take in all 
 the twelve divisions. That of Aaron's was 
 to prepare us for winter and to show 
 whather it would require much or little to 
 carry us over that arc of the circle which 
 it represented.

 Aaron's Breastplate was made four thous-

 The Priests of India to this day make 
 their horoscopes after the same manner. 
 They place only the rising stone or con-

 know where each one is in the map.

 place in the 2nd house, the Sun just separating 
 from Mercury and the Moon. The rising position 
 of Mars near the opposition of Uranus points 
 to much excitement in the land, danger of strikes 
 and rioting, while Saturn in the Ascendant de- 
 notes much privation among the poorer classes. 
 The revenue will be good, receipts above the 
 average and trade plentiful. Stormy weather is 
 signified, with drought, and agriculture will suf- 
 fer. Theatrical affairs will not be successful and 
 the question of morality will be brought forward 
 in connection with certain plays. Uranus setting 
 points to serious disputes with other Powers, 
 many divorces and marriage scandals. Many 
 deaths will occur from poison. Trouble will 
 occur in our Colonies and sedition will spread. 
 Much trouble is denoted in shipping circles, prob- 
 ably a strike or lock-out. Royalty will be popular, 
 and the Government strong, but in financial mat- 
 ters there will be trouble. The position of Jupiter 
 and Neptune in the 12th house points to strange 
 and secret crimes, and scandals connected with 
 the administration of hospitals and institutions. 
 
 Grave troubles are shown in France and Italy, 
 and the King of the latter country is warned to 
 safeguard his person. Mars culminates in 102 de- 
 grees East Longitude, denoting rioting and se- 
 rious fires. In 78 degrees West Longitude, it is 
 on the nadir, producing seismic troubles and 
 violent storms. Volcanic eruptions are denoted 
 in South America, Uranus is on the nadir in 110 
 degrees East Longitude, denoting earthquake 
 shocks. It is culminating in 70 degrees West 
 Longitude, a warning to rulers and civic digni- 
 taries in that part of the world. Saturn in Virgo 
 will bring troubles to Switzerland and the West 
 Indies. 
 
 AT WASHINGTON, the Ingress takes place in

 ful. Mars is almost exactly on the cusp of the 
 4th house, a warning against fires, tornados and 
 incendiarism, and Saturn in the same house 
 threatens inclement weather. Neptune and Jupi- 
 ter are conjoined in the 3rd house, denoting 
 much trouble in connection with railway and 
 postal affairs. Uranus culminates near to the 
 opposition of Mars, denoting danger to the Pres-

 NOTE. — The horoscope for Aaron's Breastplate is 
 put up as any good Astrologer would make a map

 the East horizon on the left and and the South at 
 the top. While most of the maps in this volume 
 are given with the East at the right and the North

 for we have all been taught towards the top North, 
 the right hand East, and the left hand West."

 In our scriptures the Lesser light is re- 
 ferred to as the denial of evil and the 
 Greater light is the affirmation of Truth. 
 Truth about God and man as his image and 
 likeness. This is also referred to as the 
 Rod and Staff. The Bible is a text book 
 for those desiring to know something of 
 the esoteric side of astrology. You may 
 have heard it said by some disbelievers 
 that you can prove anything by the Bible, 
 but this I deny. It would be just as reason- 
 able to take the police court records of this 
 nation and say you could prove anything 
 you wished by the constitution which is the 
 foundation upon which this government 
 rests. 
 
 The foundation of the Bible rests upon 
 the covenants and the remainder is a histo- 
 ry of what the people did under those cove- 
 nants. Paul said : "What does it matter if 
 they were written by men, so long as they 
 have been confirmed." Every one should 
 know how they were confirmed. 
 
 Geometry, astronomy and astrology are 
 synonymous terms when it comes to a 
 practical working principle, three in one. 
 Geometry is mathematics applied to astro- 
 
146 GEOMETRY 
 
 nomy. Astronomy is the position of the 
 heavenly bodies and our earth as figured by 
 Geometry. Astrology is the practical appli- 
 cation of the two as to the times and 
 kind of influences; such as Summer and 
 Winter, the length of the days and nights. 
 The time, for a watch or clock is noth- 
 ing but a horoscope of the sun, as geometri- 
 cal a figure as was ever made; the rise and 
 fall of the tides; the quarter of the heavens 
 in which a majority of the planets are 
 situated.

 These three together, give a logical, reas-

 the symbols that have been handed down 
 to us. One large railroad adopted this as 
 their distinguishing trade mark 
 
 We wonder why, for it is a moon symbol 
 and denotes changes, as changeable as the

 moon. It refers to the declination of the 
 moon north and south of the equator. It 
 was much in evidence three thousand years 
 ago when the earth was under the rule 
 of the Fire constellation Aries, and wai 
 represented as follows: 
 
 It is known that the Hebrew alphabet is 
 
GEOMETRY 14» 
 
 entirely composed of variations upon the 
 letter YOD and this is said to be what 
 "YOD" was derived from. 
 
 Now imagine the equator to run across 
 the large circle between the two smaller 
 circles, the top to be the point of the summer 
 solstice and the lower point that of the 
 winter solstice and you have a map of the 
 moon going north and south of the equa- 
 torial line as it does every twenfy eight 
 days. Rev. Earl R. Hicks has been using 
 this figure, showing the path of the moon in 
 his almanac for the past twenty five years. 
 He uses it to show how it influences the 
 weather, and says: "The weather on the 
 earth is always a matter of Right Angles, 
 Horizontals and Perpendiculars ; at least 
 one of these great universal mechanical 
 principles lying at the base of every weath- 
 er change/' 
 
 There never was a Hebrew nation. The 
 word Hebrew was the name of a degree in 
 the Dionysos mysteries, and the above sym- 
 bol was used to teach the brothers the 
 motion of the moon and to give a secret 
 means of communication. 
 
150 GEOMETRY 
 
 Here we have the origin of the Hebrew 
 language. The words Christian, Jew, Is- 
 raelite, and Hebrew, were names of degrees. 
 The Dionysos mysteries had initiation by 
 water, which was a Psychic degree, and 
 Lunar; initiation by Fire, which was a 
 neotic degree and solar, initiation by Earth, 
 a representative degree; planetary, initia- 
 tion by Air, a spiritual degree, stellar. 
 In the eighteenth chapter of Acts it states 
 that Apollos was a Jew, though born in 
 Alexandria in Egypt, an eloquent man and 
 mighty in the scriptures. But Paul, who 
 was a Jew, though born at Tarsus, a city 
 in Galicia, was a Hebrew as well as a Jew; 
 just as a higher degree includes the lower 
 one. Paul, the Hebrew, therefore took 
 Apollos, the Jew, and expounded to him the 
 way of God more perfect." I presume it 
 was not necessary to teach him "The letter 
 killeth, the spirit giveth life." Paul him- 
 self was proceeding through his degrees or 
 following after, as he drolly described it, 
 "that he might apprehend that for which 
 also he was apprehended of Christ Jesus." 
 Philip 3-12. 
 
 A much more sane, reasonable and bene-

 simple problems in geometry. 
 
 About this period of the world's history 
 horoscopes were marked on the trestle 
 board like the following which is a geomet- 
 rical figure of the heavens for the birth 
 of the author, By the use of that valu- 
 able and useful instrument, the compass, 
 describe the circle around this cut and you 
 see the planets in their, north and south 
 declination. 
 
 As many persons are interested in this 
 grand and noble science, some of whom will 
 be anxious to see a map of the heavens for 
 one writing upon the subject, I give the 
 date from which it was computed: 
 
 December 21st, 1856, 6 o'clock A. M.., Lat. 
 40 degrees 80 min. North. Long. 73 degrees 
 40 min. West. Right Ascension of the M. C. 
 180 degrees of arc; showing the birth as 
 taking place at the bottom of Noah's Arc 
 
152 GEOMETRY 
 
 or the right ascension of the ascendent 
 being 270 degrees of arc. However the 
 ascensional difference being 22 degrees 40 
 min., makes the ascendent 7 degrees 20 
 min. of the Sign Sagittarious, having the 
 mentality of the people belonging to the 
 Tribe of Benjamin. 
 
 Others have different arrangements of 
 the Twelve Tribes. I took my starting 
 point from the 49th chapter of Genesis, 
 wherein it says: "Reuben, thou art my first 
 born," and Reuben I gave to Scorpion at 
 the Fall Equinox. This arrangement agrees 
 with the marks, moles and scars upon peo- 
 ple as they exist today, and the description 
 seem to fit remarkably well. 
 
 This gives Gad to Aries, Dan to Taurus, 
 Issachar to Gemini, Zebulum to Cancer, 
 Judah to Leo, Levi to Virgo, Simeon to 
 Libra, Reuben to Scorpio, Benjamin to 
 Sagittarius, Joseph to Capricorn, Naphtali 
 to Aquarius and Asher to Pisces.

 The Compass and Protractor. 
 
 The compass is a mechanical instru- 
 ment for drawing and dividing circles. The 
 protractor is also a mechanical instrument 
 for dividing the arcs of a circle. In the 
 above illustration the compasses is set to 
 represent thirty degrees, thus dividing the 
 circle into twelve equal parts, typical of 
 the tw r elve types of people born under 
 der the twelve constellations, as symbolized

 by the spiritual man pictured in our alma- 
 nacs. When we become masters of the 
 thirty degrees, which we represent, and 
 are not swayed by our desires, impulses or 
 prejudices; nor carried beyond a just bal- 
 ance by honor, success or praise; then we 
 are past masters in the art of self control 
 and are fitted to govern and instruct the 
 remaining parts of the circle. 
 
 When the triangle is formed the point

 is raised and this makes one hund- 
 red and twenty degrees in each segment or 
 arc of the circle. This gave rise to the 
 story of Noah and his three sons, whose 
 average age was one hundred and twenty 
 years, which, when added together make a 
 complete whole, or unity, from whence 
 we have all descended, and from which all 
 blessings flow. 
 
 As the wheel is the most beneficial in- 
 vention of man, so the circle is the great- 
 est of all spiritual symbols, and the instru- 
 ment that is used to make the circle should 
 be of special interest to all lovers of Divine 
 principles. They should devote some of 
 their time to its study. A friend of mine 
 who is an inventor, a mechanical engineer 
 and a mathematician, says every problem 
 in mathematics can be solved by use of 
 the dividers. The ancient Scandinavian 
 people to whom the honor of naming the 
 days of the week was given, used the com-

 passes to make their horoscopes with, and 
 they were as follows:

 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath un- 
 derstanding count the number of the beast; 
 for it is the number of man; and his num- 
 ber is Six Hundred three score and Six." 
 Rev. 13-18. 
 
 Wisdom comes from doing things and 
 then meditating upon the law governing the 
 things you do. Everything in this world 
 is the result of thought. What is, has been 
 thought into existence in the concrete form 
 we call matter. The following are some of 
 the things to put into practice and gain 
 wisdom. 
 
 The object of the following statement 
 of being is to create a manifestation of 
 spirit over matter. Life is made up of af- 
 firmations and denials and it seems im- 
 possible to get away from them. Some 
 teachers do not recommend the use of 
 denials, but Jesus used them in a moderate 
 degree, say three or four affirmations to 
 one denial. Of course it is better to forget 
 than to deny. Confucius once said: "It 
 does not hurt you a particle to be wronged 
 or robbed if you do not think about it." 
 
160 
 
 It is the thought that works the injury. 
 When an unfavorable thought comes up 
 and you cannot forget it, then say as the 
 Master did, "get thee behind me satan," or 
 " there is no evil to harm any one. I am 
 fearless because I am one with the Father." 
 In your denials avoid naming things as 
 much as possible. In your affirmation* 
 name things and make your demands posi- 
 tive. The following is a good statement of 
 being which by repeating daily, or as often 
 as possible, you will impress upon your 
 subconscious mind, or heart, and then ex- 
 press it to the world. The first and last 
 sentence we have engraved on our money: 
 "In God we Trust, because God is im- 
 mortal spirit, divine principle of Life, Love, 
 Wisdom and Truth. May we realize and 
 manifest Thee more and more that we may 
 glorify Thy will. May Thy righteousness 
 prevail on earth as it does in the heavens. 
 I am the image of God, therefore I am 
 Spirit. Spirit knows no fear, knows there 
 is no power in mortal mind to harm any 
 one, so, In God we Trust." 
 
MONEY AND CAPITAL 
 
 One can draw to himself capital through 
 thought force, which' will enable him by 
 directing the force, (for all is mind), to 
 bring into manifestation anything he de- 
 sires for the reason everything was in the 
 invisible world before it was in the visible, 
 or before it was in material expression. 
 
 We have only to understand and operate 
 the law to bring it into manifestation and 
 appropriate it to our use. 
 
 Yes, we can bring to ourselves the ne- 
 cessary capital to start business for our- 
 selves. 
 
 When a man has reached the age of forty 
 or fifty years and has no business or per- 
 manent income there seems to be no place 
 for him. He looks about and sees no way 
 to secure a place in the business world for 
 himself. He is practically helpless until he 
 comes into the understanding of the law 
 that attracts to him money — a principle of 
 right thinking as scientific as that the 
 needle graviates towards the pole. 
 
162 
 
 In the old way a man had to save, penny 
 by penny, until he had sufficient money to 
 start a business. Now we have learned the 
 law that will never fail, but which for a 
 certainty will bring you just what you 
 want; now we find we have a bank to draw 
 from which will honor every check, if we 
 meet the condition. We find there is a 
 source we can draw from with absolute 
 certainty. 
 
 There are some who do not desire the 
 responsibility of business, they prefer to 
 serve another, to follow the instructions of 
 another. The law will not work for those 
 who are not willing to take the responsibili- 
 ty and assume the care of a business for 
 themselves. They must assume the re- 
 sponsibility if they desire to draw from the 
 universal supply. 
 
 We can draw from the supply with free- 
 dom, but the law demands responsibility 
 before asking for money with which to 
 start a business. 
 
 Now a live man or woman is not satisfied 
 to work for someone else. They must be 
 and want to be in business for themselves, 
 where they can apply, in a greater degree, 
 
168 
 
 the working out of law, and where they 
 can exercise their freedom as they cannot 
 in the services of another. 
 
 When one finds that he has the power 
 within himself to draw any amount of 
 money or capital he wants, for any pur- 
 pose, he certainly should be ready to as- 
 sume the responsibility, the power and the 
 privilege demand. 
 
 Everything is within the law for him to 
 draw from, it makes no difference to the 
 lav/ whether a man uses his opportunity or 
 not. The supply is there, and the individ- 
 ual is free to do as he chooses. 
 
 Before drawing capital from the supply, 
 man must be equipped for the business he 
 wants the capital for. 
 
 I sent out tEe thought and the money 
 came in response. 
 
 You send out the thought and the money 
 will come in response. Now the questions 
 come: How can we do this? How can we 
 draw to ourselves money to be put in a 
 business or to do anything with? How can 
 we get it without an equivolent in labor, 
 or a promise to pay or give some security 
 for it? 
 
164 
 
 First of all get in the right state of 
 mind, a passive state, then send out the 
 thought containing the right combination 
 and nothing can keep it from you, 
 
 Find out just what you want. 
 
 Never ask for money until you are ab- 
 solutely certain that you know just how 
 much you want and the exact business you 
 want it for, one thing at a time (study the 
 law of exactitude). Then send out the 
 thought. This will bring money for busi- 
 ness only. 
 
 Do not let any one say he is handicapped 
 and cannot succeed in anything. We have 
 the power right within us to bring to our- 
 selves just the things necessary to make 
 our lives as successful as need be. We can 
 be just as happy and just as prosperous as 
 we want to be. 
 
 We all do the very thing that places us 
 right where we find ourselves to be. No 
 one need work for another longer than he 
 wants to. We place the limit on our own 
 powers and are afraid to use them. 
 
 To create harmony, happiness and good 
 feeling in the home, learn and repeat the 
 forty-fifth and forty-sixth Psalms. These 
 
165 
 
 psalms were used for this purpose by the 
 ancients and I have known some very 
 pleasing results by their use in this age. 
 
 To stop blood on man or beast, repeat 
 the sixth verse of the sixteenth chapter of 
 Ezekiel. I have given this to many people 
 and some surprising results have followed 
 its use. 
 
 Each of the Psalms of David were used by 
 the ancients for certain specific purposes 
 and have a wonderful efficiency in produc- 
 ing results. In case of confinement repeat 
 the first. Much benefit will be derived by 
 often repeating the following, the 15th, 
 25th, 91st, 100th, 129th and the 133rd. 
 
 Hippocrates was styled the "Father 
 of Medicine' bacause he turned from Devine 
 healing to the use of drugs. If you think 
 drugs are necessary, whenever you give 
 them, make this positive statement: "Re- 
 cover from thy sickness," and your words 
 will have as great power as the drug. The 
 power in any medicine depends upon the 
 thought that has been bestowed upon it.
