“O MAN: KNOW THYSELF; FOR IN THEE IS HIDDEN THE TREASURE OF TREASURES.”
“Out of the Night that cover s me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever Gods may be,
For my unconquerable Soul.

For my unconquerable Soul.

Nor. charged with punishment the scroll, I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE,I am the Captain of my Soul.”

REBUILDING YOUR DESTINY
In following these powerful Lessons, you are following the Pathway which will enable you to say with Henley, “I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE.”
First, then, in rebuilding your destiny, you must change your thought about yourself. Occult science teaches that your Thoughts make your character, and character is the REAL YOU.” For as much as he thinketh in his
heart (mind) so is he.”, (Proverbs 23:7). Picture yourself, then, as the Ideal You, which you really desire to be, and your mental picture will reflect itself in material Reality.
Second, INTENSE DESIRE BRINGS OPPORTUNITIES TO YOU. “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given. and whosoever hath not, from hint shall be taken even that he- seemeth to have.” Luke 8:18). Change your thinking about yourself today; this minute. Possession is first mental. Picture constantly the Opportunities you need, the Prosperity you want and the Abundance you Desire.
Third, ACTION MAKES ENVIRONMENT. Thinking without action, is merely wishful day-dreaming. Action makes environment. You are forever affecting someone else, You bless people, or you make them worse. Your home is either happy or miserable because of you... or because of someone else. Behind action is Mind. Within Mind is Desire.
“Who toiled a Slave may come anew a Prince.
For gentle worthiness and merit won.
Who ruled a King may wander the earth in rags,
For things done and undone.”
Yes, change your thinking about Yourself TODAY. If you truly want to be a success, then “Think Success and Abundance, TODAY and every ‘day until it is a regular habit with you.
CHANGE YOUR THINKING ABOUT GOD
Change your thinking about God and you will change your whole world. Simple isn’t it? Know that God— The Creative Law of God—is the God of Happiness and of Success, and these things you think about God will by yours HERE AND NOW, not in some distant future. This harmony with ETERNAL LAW is mastering your FATE TODAY.
Let us turn again to the Bible, now, and therein we find that the prophets of the Ancient Wisdom certainly proclaimed God as the God of Riches, and by “riches” we DO mean money, money that means earthly Comfort, Leisure and Security.
“The Lord maketh poor, AND MAKETH RICHES: He bringeth Low and LIFTETH UP.” Every Man also to whom God hath given RICHES AND EASY WEALTH and hath given him Power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor, THIS IS THE GIFT OF GOD. (Eccl. 5:19)
“BOTH RICHES AND HONOR COME OF THEE. and thou rei nest over all; and in thine hand is Power and Might; and in thine hand IT IS TO MAKE GREAT, and to give strength unto all.” (l Chron. 29:12)
THOUGHTS OF POVERTY ATTRACT POVERTY
Sickness, Poverty, debt, troubles, misfortunes and unlovely environment are unreal and destructive. Thought is Energy and Power, and when a man spends time thinking about these unreal and negative conditions his very thinking and his FEAR gives reality, energy and power to these dark enemies.
No wonder the world is filled with sickness and poverty, because for count-less ages Man has thought reality into these great negations by his constant FEAR-THOUGHTS. Jobs began to understand the awful cost of FEAR when he cried out. “The thing I greatly feared hath come upon me.”
CRAFTY RELIGIOUS LEADERS TAUGHT POVERTY
When we understand the power of the Mind, it is not strange to us that the world is filled with poverty and poverty’s twin sister, sickness.
From the earliest days of the Christian religion, crafty leaders in many of the man-made “churches” (sanctified wholly to the profit motive) preached and pictured God as the God of Poverty. From the beginning these “blind leaders of the blind” taught that if you suffered you were pleasing God, if you were sick, it was the “will of God.
These misguided religious leaders, unconscious tools of the religious profiteers who commanded theme, proclaimed these diabolic fast falsehoods so vigorously and so constantly that eventually, they really believed their own lies. For many centuries this “church” which taught that Poverty pleased God, rejoiced in leaders who actually lived in direst poverty, in filth and in self-inflicted suffering.
History tells us that these misguided religious dupes were forced to renounce all worldly possessions, that suffering was their one proud badge of “religious” experience; that they wore the oldest, dirtiest and most ragged garments to be found to subdue the “lusts of the flesh.”
These false prophets were ignorant, emaciated, haggard beings. Yet millions of their superstitious dupes followed them and tried to imitate them, because they were led to believe that God favored poverty, squalor, suffering and unwashed bodies.
Of course, back of these poor dopes were the proud Masters of men; those cruel and cunning rulers who held ecclesiastical power in their hands. Poverty of their servants who led the people, and riches drained from race after race and from nation after nation simply meant untold treasures for such misguided religious organizations.
When the Galilean came to earth, 2,000 years ago, the crafty ecclesiastics of His day were teaching, gust as some are teaching today, that if you are poor and, sick and suffering, you have incurred the wrath of God. Therefore, because the ever loving God wants to punish you, you must go on and bear as patiently as possible your suffering and your agony, your poverty and your frustration.
GOD IS NOT A GOD OF POVERTY
Would you be free from SICKNESS, free from Poverty, free from Dread and Sorrow? THEN CHANGE YOUR IDEA OF GOD TODAY, THIS VERY MINUTE, from a God you must fear to a God of Love.
God is ABUNDANCE. God is HEALTH, God is JOY and LOVE. Stop thinking and talking about the unreal, the negative, the destructive. Don’t even deny these things. Don’t recognize them even to the extent of denying them. Just, ignore the idea. Every denial holds the danger of materializing the thing you deny.
Whenever you spend time thinking and talking about these enemies of your welfare and your happiness, then by natural LAW you yourself set in motion those darker vibrations that open the flood-gates to a torrent of troubles.
Picture the things which you desire and which you desire with all your heart. Tap the reservoir of UNLIMITED SUPPLY by constantly thinking and talking about Health, Wealth, Life, Happiness and Abundant Success HERE AND NOW.
