We Are Learning To Steer

“WE go back here to the matter of the point of view, for, besides being vitally important, it is the one that is likely to give the student the most trouble.

Fear Turns Strength To Weakness

This You Can Certainly Do

“It is really not the number of things you do, but the EFFICIENCY of each separate action that counts. Every act is, in itself, either a success or a failure. Every act is, in itself, either effective or inefficient. Every inefficient act is a failure, and if you spend your life in doing inefficient acts, your whole…read more

God Is All

“Man’s knowledge is limited, and he falls into error through ignorance; to avoid this he must connect his soul with Universal Spirit.

If You Feel

“…you must have absolute faith in your own perceptions of truth. Never act in haste or hurry; be deliberate in everything; wait until you feel that you know the true way.

Original Substance Thinks Only Health

“This Life Principle of the All is the Principle of Health in man, and becomes constructively active whenever man thinks in a certain way. Whoever, therefore, thinks in this Certain Way will surely have perfect health if his external functioning is in conformity with his thought. But the external functioning must conform to the thought;…read more

Man Is A Thinking Center

“Man is a thinking center, capable of originating thought; and as he does not know everything, he makes mistakes and thinks error. Not knowing everything, he believes things to be true which are not true. Man holds in his thought the idea of diseased and abnormal functioning and conditions, and so perverts the action of the…read more

Act NOW

The Best

“The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, and the squalid and mean; and your mind takes the form of these things. Then you will transmit these forms or mental images to the…read more
