Desire as mainspring

Not only so, but the average individual does not know how to evoke powerfully his feelings and emotions. He does not understand the means whereby he can arouse this passionate intensity so necessary to complete identification with or recognition of the Unconditioned faceless, formless consciousness of which Neville speaks. To some extent it is possible to succeed more easily with women than with m

When you have a desire, the deeper you, who men call God, is speaking. He urges you, through the language of desire, to accept that which is not that which is to be! Desire is simply his communion with you, telling you that your desire is yours, now! Your acceptance of this fact is proved by your complete adjustment to it as though it were true. ********** 19. Question: Why do some of us die you

We recognize these two distinct centers of thought in the statement: “The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” I Cor. 2:14 The natural view confines reality to the moment called NOW. To the natural view, the past and future are purely imaginary. The spiritual view on the oth

“You did not choose me, I have chosen you.” My concept of myself molds a world in harmony with itself and draws men to tell me constantly by their behaviour who I am. The most important thing in this world to you is your concept of self. When you dislike your environment, the circumstances of life and the behaviour of men, ask yourself, ” Who am I?” It is your answer to this question hat is the c

********** 20. Question: What would you consider a full life? Answer: A variety of experiences. The more varied they are, the richer is your life. At death you function in a dimensionally larger world, and play your part on a keyboard made up of a life time of human experiences. Therefore, the more varied your experiences, the finer is your instrument and the richer is your life. * * * * * * * * *

A little practice will convince us that we can, by controlling our imagination, reshape our future in harmony with our desire. Desire is the mainspring of action. We could not move a single finger unless we had a desire to move it. No matter what we do, we follow the desire which at the moment dominates our minds. When we break a habit, our desire to break it is greater than our desire to continue

As you are, so shall God appear to be to you. The priest will see God as the head of all celestial and terrestrial records. To a judge, he is the great judge forever meting out punishment. To the Hottentot, God is the kind of chief he, himself, would like to be. So, you see, men are forever creating God in their own image. “God is God from the creation. Truth alone is man’s salvation. But the God

The essential points in the successful use of the law of assumption are these: First, and above all, yearning; longing; intense, burning desire. With all your heart you must want to be different from what you are. Intense, burning desire [combined with intention to make good] is the mainspring of action, the beginning of all successful ventures. In every great passion [which achieves its objectiv

Once man accepts thinking from the end as a creative principle in which he can cooperate, then he is redeemed from the absurdity of ever attempting to achieve his objective by merely thinking of it. Construct all ends according to the pattern of fulfilled desire. The whole of life is just the appeasement of hunger, and the infinite states of consciousness from which a man can view the world are

For she didn’t have the virtue of mercy when she actually aided in the destruction and death of her husband, through a passion that she wanted to, I would say, appease. And so, she certainly was not merciful, she was not one of pity, she was not one of love, and so, he asked her to assume a virtue if she had it not. What virtue? Well, he didn’t name it for her. He allowed her to select the virtue

So I can take the words now, “atonement, forgiveness, remission,” all these things, and put them and call them, really, synonyms, they’re all one. If I forgive…what is the challenge to a man to forgive? It challenges a man’s ability to enter into and partake of the nature of the opposite state of consciousness. I’ll forgive you, forgive myself. So I take myself, I’ll forgive myself for being today

I read a story this past week of a Canadian, Lord Thompson, I think was his name. He’s supposed to be the richest ___(??) in the world. He, himself, does not know his multiple millions. This was an interview with a very intelligent reporter, and I’ll tell you, I read it in the Times. He had no money, a very poor boy, started off behind the eight-ball, but desired with all of his heart money. He wa

If imagining creates reality, what are you imagining? For, if Christ is the only creative power in the universe, and I identify Him with my own imagination, well, then, my imagination is creating reality. So what am I imagining? Pick up the morning’s paper, and I am fed with everything I should not feast upon . . all the horrors of the world, all the negative states of the world; after having read

Well, then, now . . this very instant, you desire happiness in marriage. You say, “Well, there’s not one person in my world that is eligible. I know no one.” You don’t have to know anyone. All you have to do is to decide within yourself what you want. Now, what would you do if it were true? Would you wear a ring on the one finger that would imply that someone placed it there? one that you admire?

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen.”[Romans 1:20] This vision is completely independent of the natural faculties. Open it and quicken it – Without it, these instructions are useless, for “the things of the spirit are spiritually discerned.” A little practice will convince us that we can, by controlling our imagination, reshape our future in harmony wit

“And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe,” [John 14:29] MANY persons, myself included, have observed events before they occurred; that is, before they occurred in this world of three dimensions. Since man can observe an event before it occurs in the three dimensions of space, life on earth must proceed according to plan, and this plan must ex

The original birthplace of imagination is in love. Love is its lifeblood. Insofar as imagination retains its own life’s blood, its visions are images of truth. Then it mirrors the living identity of the thing it beholds. But if imagination should deny the very power that has brought it to birth then the direst sort of horror will begin. Instead of rendering back living images of the truth, imagina

“You did not choose me, I have chosen you.” Your concept of self molds a world in harmony with itself and draws men to tell you who you are by their behaviour. Your concept of self should be the most important thing in this world to you. When you dislike your environment, the circumstances of life and the behavior of men, ask yourself, “Who am I?” Your answer to this question is the cause of you

Answer: The child who is born, lives forever, as nothing dies. It may appear that the child who dies at birth has no keyboard of human experience but, as a poet once said: “He drew a circle that shut me out, Infidel, scoundrel, a thing to flout. But Love and I had the wit to win! We drew a circle that took him in.” The loved one has access to the sensory experiences of the lover. God is love; th
