LESSON
XVII. IDEALS DEVELOPED BY PSYCHIC - CONCENTRATION
Through our paltry stir and strife, Glows the
wished Ideal, And
longing
molds in clay, what life Carves in the marble
real.--
We often
hear people spoken of as idealists. The fact is we are
all
idealists to a certain extent, and upon the ideals we picture
depends
our ultimate success. You must have the mental image if
you are
to produce the material thing. Everything is first
created
in the mind. When you control your thoughts you become a
creator.
You receive divine ideas and shape them to your
individual
needs. All things of this world are to you just what
you think
they are. Your happiness and success depend upon your
ideals.
You are
responsible for every condition you go through, either
consciously
or unconsciously. The next step you take determines
the
succeeding step. Remember this; it is a valuable lesson. By
concentrating
on each step as you go along, you can save a lot of
waste
steps and will be able to choose a straight path instead of
a
roundabout road.
Concentrate
Upon Your Ideals and They Will Become Material
Actualities.
Through Psychic - Concentration we work out our ideals in
physical
life. Your future depends upon the ideals you are
forming
now. Your past ideals are determining your present.
Therefore,
if you want a bright future, you must begin to prepare
for it
today.
If
persons could only realize that they can only injure
themselves,
that when they are apparently injuring others they
are
really injuring themselves, what a different world this would
be!
We say a
man is as changeable as the weather. What is meant is
his
ideals change. Every time you change your ideal you think
differently.
You become like a rudderless boat on an ocean.
Therefore
realize the importance of holding to your ideal until
it
becomes a reality.
You get
up in the morning determined that nothing will make you
lose
your temper. This is your ideal of a person of real strength
and
poise. Something takes place that upsets you completely and
you lose
your temper. For the time being you forget your ideal.
If you
had just thought a second of what a well-poised person
implies
you would not have become angry. You lose your poise when
you
forget your ideal. Each time we allow our ideals to be
shattered
we also weaken our will-power. Holding to your ideals
develops
will-power. Don't forget this.
Why do
so many men fail? Because they don't hold to their ideal
until it
becomes a mental habit. When they concentrate on it to
the
exclusion of all other things it becomes a reality.
"I
am that which I think myself to be."
Ideals
are reflected to us from the unseen spirit. The laws of
matter and
spirit are not the same. One can be broken, but not
the
other. To the extent that ideals are kept is your future
assured.
It was
never intended that man should suffer. He has brought it
upon
himself by disobeying the laws of nature. He knows them so
cannot
plead ignorance. Why does he break them? Because he does
not pay
attention to those ideals flashed to him from the
Infinite
Spirit.
Life is
but one continuous unfoldment, and you can be happy every
step of
the way or miserable, as you please; it all depends upon
how we
entertain those silent whisperings that come from we know
not
where. We cannot hear them with mortal ear, but from the
silence
they come as if they were dreams, not to you or me alone,
but to
everyone. In this way the grandest thoughts come to us, to
use or
abuse. So search not in treasured volumes for noble
thoughts,
but within, and bright and glowing vision will come to
be
realized now and hereafter.
You must
give some hours to concentrated, consistent, persistent
thought.
You must study yourself and your weaknesses.
No man
gets over a fence by wishing himself on the other side. He
must
climb.
No man
gets out of the rut of dull, tiresome, monotonous life by
merely
wishing himself out of the rut. He must climb.
If you
are standing still, or going backward, there is something
wrong.
You are the man to find out what is wrong.
Don't
think that you are neglected, or not understood, or not
appreciated.
Such
thoughts are the thoughts of failure.
Think
hard about the fact that men who have got what you envy got
it by
working for it.
Don't
pity yourself, criticise yourself.
You know
that the only thing in the world that you have got to
count
upon is yourself.
