Thought

[Guest guest]

" Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul that have been restored

and brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of

divine promise and confidence than this --- that you are the master of your

thought, the molder of your character, and the maker and shaper of your

condition, environment, and destiny.

 

As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of your own

thoughts, you hold the key to every situation, and contain within yourself

that transforming and regenerative agency by which you may make yourself what

you will.

 

You are always the master, even in your weakest and most abandoned state; but

in your weakness and degradation you are the foolish master who misgoverns

your household. When you begin to reflect upon your condition, and to search

diligently for the law upon which your being is established, you then become

the wise master, directing your energies with intelligence, and fashioning

your thoughts to fruitul issues. Such is the conscious master, and you can

only become a conscious master by discovering within yourself the laws of

thought. This discovery is totally a matter of application, self-analysis,

and experience.

 

Only by much searching and mining are gold and diamonds obtained, and you can

find every truth connected with your being, if you will dig deep into the

mine of your soul. The fact that you are the maker of your character, the

molder of your life, and the builder of your destiny, you may unerringly

prove, if you will watch, control, and alter your thoughts, tracing their

effects upon yourself, upon others, and upon your life and circumstances,

linking cause and effect by patient practice and investigation, and utilizing

your every experience --- even the most trivial, everyday occurrence --- as a

means of obtaining that knowledge of yourself that leads to understanding,

wisdom, and power.

 

In this direction, as in no other, is the law absolute that " Those that seek

shall find; to those that knock the door shall be opened, " for only by

patience, practice, and ceaseless importunity can you enter the door of the

temple of knowledge. "

-James Allen
