KNOWING THE POWER OF THOUGHT

Did you know that your thoughts are either helping the world to enlightenment or are holding back the progress of Humanity??

 

 

A DYNAMIC POWER

 

We cannot too strongly emphasize the power of thought. You think that thought is something private -- that no-one can read human thoughts, but truly there is no covering to thought. It is heard, it is seen, and moreover it often has a dynamic power, as you have yet to learn. Thoughts can create good health and thoughts can heal, but thoughts can introduce pain and disease, and can disrupt and destroy the bodily, mental and human soul-life.

 

Science is only on the outermost fringe of comprehension of the power of thought. Thoughts can do anything in the world. Thoughts of anger, fear and hate form the root of all suffering and of wars. Thoughts can also bring forth beauty and harmony, and brotherhood, and all else that men and women long for. We know that by seeing only good, by creating good, by positive thoughts, we can help to bring about that which is desirable and good.

 

 

CORRESPONDING FORCES

 

As you progress on your path it will be clearly demonstrated to you that what you think you become; the vibrations set up by your thoughts are making an impression on the higher ether. You register something on that higher ether, and thereby attract to yourself corresponding waves or forces, which again, when they return (if you still pursue your path of wise thinking, or unselfish service to others) will create certain conditions in your life.

 

The law, working in the human mind and soul, creates conditions of life and brings to individuals (if they are working in the right way) these things for which they pray and hope. But it is not only a matter of thinking what you want. That is only part of the picture. The real truth is that you wish to work with God to create harmony, beauty and healthfulness, holiness and happiness, not only for yourself, but for all human kind. It is this motive of creative love which gives power and life to your thoughts and prayers.

 

 

MAGNETIC ATTRACTION

 

We want you to realize that your thoughts are drawn by magnetic attraction towards other thought-streams, either positive or negative.

 

All your positive thoughts -- by this we mean uplifting, constructive thoughts -- by the law of attraction join great streams of thought which are good, which are of the White Light. Negative, unkind or cruel thoughts are in their turn used to swell the great streams of darkness. Oh, how much unconscious cruelty there is!! Thoughtlessness can cause much suffering, and is therefore a form of cruelty. On the other hand your thoughtfulness and kindness, whatever form it takes, is a contribution to the great stream of Light upon which humanity depends for its very existence.

 

 

DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS

 

Every time a destructive thought comes into your mind, dismiss it at once; because it is with the accumulation of destructive thoughts that the mental body of human kind as a whole is being fed with ideas which create destructive weapons and evil ways of destroying life. 

 

We want to show you this clear picture; on the one side, see the creative power used for good; while on the otherside, there is the array of dark, destructive thoughts which finds entry into the minds of strong intellects to create methods of destruction, as well as stimulating the destructive human passions and emotions. What we in spirit are all working for is to bring about harmony and balance in human life, and you too can discipline yourselves to think and create forms of goodness, beauty and harmony.

 

 

YOUR GOD POWER

 

The power of thought can indeed work miracles, but this will itself bring up questions in your mind. You will have to remember that humanity is evolving on a spiral and its evolution proceeds in cycles. Men and women have to learn to use their occult power -- their God-power -- with the Christ love in their hearts. Unti they have learnt to do this they have to suffer any pain which wrong usage of the God-power will cause. The Masters we have often talked about have learnt to use this power only in love and in service to their companions, or to humanity, and this is what has to be learnt by men and women in the course of their slow spiritual evolution.

 

What we have to give you is a message about your opportunity to use your own thought-power to help humanity instead of to hurt it: in order to help yourself instead of to hurt yourself. All people have the power to think constructive God-thoughts, not only at certain times but as a natural habit. Always see the best in everything and everybody. Realize that whatever an other soul is doing, your attitude and your thoughts must be tolerant, kind and good.

BREAKING THROUGH THE DARKNESS IN LIFE

 

So how can you break through the darkness which envelopes you?? Only by developing the divine will in your heart -- the will to obey the law of living the Christ life. How are you going to develop this will?? It is so simple that you may not take any notice of what we say -- but every day, all day seek to obey God´s command.... to "love the Lord they God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind....and....thy neighbour as thyself."

 

This is a very subtle command. It does not say love your neighbour MORE than thyself , but your neighbour AS yourself. That is all. That is the Law. But it is not so simple.

 

If you are going to obey the Law of Love, you have to do it physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This means you have to command your thoughts. You have to bring the divine will into operation. You have to will that you will the will of God not only for yourself but for all life, so that you recognize the omnipotence which overshadows the world and also is in charge of your own life.

 

ETERNITY IS NOW

 

You are all waiting -- yes, waiting -- for something to happen. Each one of you individually is hoping for a brighter future. We want you to learn the lesson that eternity is now, the future is now. There is neither past, nor present, nor future as separate periods of time; all is within the soul´s embrace now. It is your reaction to the now which make your future. 

 

Never look to the future and anticipate this, that, or the other. Live today, with God, and no future can hold for you any greater joy than is yours today. Too many folk spend their days waiting for something to happen, for something to turn up. This is to live in fear, and today we would help you to see the foolishness of this. Live today. Live and be at peace, and you have entered your kingdom of heaven.

 

PROBLEMS OF THE AGE

 

Regarding the problems of today, people nearly always try to solve them from a purely material standard. We see so much sorrow in the world, and so much fear. Men and women are indeed full of fear -- fearful of their brothers and sisters, and fearful for themselves.

 

We would speak particularly about this, because fear corrodes and consumes the happiness of a vast number of human beings. There is fear of life generally, fear of the future, fear of loss, fear of ill-health, fear of seperation from loved ones, and above all, fear of death. Fear seems to be the greatest enemy of human kind. So the first thing that a human being must strive for is to overcome fear.

 

CONTROLLING EMOTIONS

 

Anxietes can crowd and almost submerge the mind by the turbulence of emotions involved. When fear threatens to overwhelm you, enter the quiet temple within and, by strength of will and spirit, control the emotions. Raise your heart in supplication: "My Father... Divine Mother". Do not dwell any further upon your trouble; it is now in God´s keeping. Come, with a full heart, into the circle of God´s love....

 

"Father, Mother... you who are in heaven, hallowed be Thy name." This is a state of perfect peace and happiness: "You are my Father/Mother, and you can raise me up to be with You in heaven. Your tranquility and peace alone can bring rest into my heart and soul."

 

YOUR INNER SANCTUARY

 

In the light of our Father/Mother, nothing can hurt. We may go through the valley of the shadows and He/She is with us. Their rod and their staff, they comfort us. Therefore open your inner sanctuary, and allow the power of the Spirit to guide you tranquilly down the river of life. In tranquility; but this does not mean that you lose your own responsibility or need for action. When the way is revealed, God may call for decision and action, not passivity.

 

You who fear for material needs, remember God´s love is omnipotent. God knows!! For you, we say, take courage; step forward on life´s path like sons and daughters of God. He/She has prepared the sustenance, the food, the experience which you need on life´s journey, so that you may grow and evolve.

SOUL DEVELOPMENT & AWARENESS

 

Remember that the sole purpose of your life is to grow first of all in self-consciousness -- that is, consciousness of yourself as an individual....

 

SPIRITUAL BROTHERHOOD

 

After gaining individualised consciousness you must then expand your consciousness to take in those around you, those with whom you live. Shall we call this a family consciousness, a group consciousness, or better still a consciousness of the whole brotherhood of life?? You have sometimes felt in meditation the intense joy that comes with this realization of spiritual brotherhood (which of course is the true spiritual communion), or with the development of the soul towards awareness and the needs of those around it. 

 

In the same degree as the individuals progress, so the whole race approaches this point of brotherhood and awareness. You may feel that many centuries may elapse before the world can respond. Nevertheless, we assure you that during the coming fifty years (even 30 years) you will be astonished at the soul-progress of the world, because within this time unbelievable changes will come.

 

A TRUTH SO BEAUTIFUL

 

Instead of perpetual war, brotherhood between all things and all people will be established. Today such a statement seems incredible. Nevertheless, the next stage is already developing; that state in which men and women become aware of their true relationship to their brethren. Then there will come an expansion still further, towards God-consciousness or Cosmic-consciousness. Beyond that is the consciousness of the Solar Logos, the solar consciousness.

 

This is taking you a long way ahead. However, read our words and meditate upon this truth, because a truth so beautiful and wonderful can be both a help and inspiration. This vision of the future life will make you feel that your present striving is very, very well worth the effort. Remember... if you are listening to the voice of the spirit, you are pioneers working for the great day when cosmic and solar consciousness will be the gift or realization of all peoples.

 

MASTERY OVER YOURSELF

 

Know that the world is not going to remain in its present state of chaos. We cannot find the words suitable to convey a deeper state of infinite truth, because it would be like tryinng to teach a kindergarten school a lesson in higher mathmatics. You see, you cannot possibly absorb or understand deeper spiritual truths until you are able to comprehend some of the infinite possibilities both within and before you.

 

This, you will see, is the same law as operates when you first open the door of your consciousness to spirit communication. Everything depends upon the soul which is seeking that communication. All depennds upon your level of spiritual growth and upon your understanding of occult and spiritual law. So it must be, from the beginning in the kindergarten. In a higher class you are able to comprehend more advanced lessons, but everything depends upon you. There is truth. There is glory. I AM the way, the truth and the life, the Christ said. Understand that this life is within you, but until you have unfolded and until you have gained mastery over yourself, you cannot pssibly comprehend the greater mysteries.
