THE PATHWAY TO PERSONAL POWER (series one); MIND MAKES GOD AVAILABLE NOW

Emerson packed a volume of meaning into a few words when he did say, “One topic is peremptorily for-bidden to all rational mortals, namely their Distempers. If you have not slept or if you have slept; or if you have a headache, or the leprosy , or a thunderstroke, I-beseech you, by all angels, to hold your peace and not pollute the morning. Come out into the azure. Love the day.”

God is the God of ALL RICHES, He is our Infinite Supply and as you follow His Creative LAW OF SUP-PLY you ‘can.and you will attract to yourself whatever good you MOST DESIRE.

MIND MAKES GOD AVAILABLE NOW

“God is-not the God of the dead, BUT OF THE LIVING, “says the Great Teacher. (Matt. 22:32) “GOD IS SPIRIT” again proclaims the same teacher. (John 4:24) “He that loveth not knoweth not God, for GOD IS LOVE.” (1 John 4:8) “ ... GOD IS LIGHT and in Him is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5) “And WE KNOW THAT WE ARE OF GOD.” (1 John 5:19).

From the above passages from the Bible we find that God is the GOD OF LIVING (of life), that God is SPIRIT, that God is LIGHT, that God is LOVE, that WE ARE OF GOD. “For ye are the temple of the liv­ing God” (2 Cor. 6:16). Please follow our teaching very carefully and very closely here, for now we delve into the deeper, the truly occult science of human and GOD-MIND.

ALL EXISTENCE IS VIBRATION

All things exit in a state of constant vibration. Your human life is a rate of vibration. When that vibration is finally stilled your present life on this earth will end. Consider SOUND, for instance, sound is a series of vibra­tions that register in the human ear between the limits of forty and forty thousand vibrations per second. These two figures set the limits of human hearing.

All space is vibrating with sound. From the farthest star that swings blind and blackening in the darkness o inter-stellar space speed waves of vibrations too tremendously above our poor human limits of forty thousand vibrations per second for us to hear therm.

Our human senses are rigidly confined within narrow limitations. We are both deaf and blind to these vaster rates of vibration. When these vibrations reach the astounding rate of four hundred thousand millions, we SEE them in the form of light.

There is boundless creative opportunity and untold Power in God’s great Universe for the use of that hith­erto unknown vibration of YOUR Invisible Self the Mind—which we call THOUGHT.

HUMAN MIND CREATES HUMAN DESTINY

“... and ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free,” said the Galilean in the Bible. One great and simple Truth will .make you not only FREE, but will also make you the Master of your own destiny.” That one Truth is that your own mind creates every circumstance of your human existence, except perhaps, birth and, death. The same mind of your controls the results of every condition in your life.

Your mental energy is the measure of your life. Your mental energy-is a personal product. Your mental ener­gy is capable of INFINITE DEVELOPMENT when your thought-vibrations are ATTUNED TO THE INFINITE UNIVERSAL MIND THAT IS GOD.

Your human mind attuned to GOD-MIND makes God available to YOU. The Great Teacher stated the same stupendous but simple truth in these-words: “If ye abide in me, (harmony of vibration with God), AND

-27-

MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, (God vibrations are in your human mind), YE SHALL ASK WHAT YE WILL, (sincere desire-vibrations) AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU.” (John 15:7)

In your own mind, in your own thought-world alone, is the Abundant Power, the value and the results of every condition, every circumstance and every relationship which makes up your life today.

Each condition, each circumstance, each of your relations with other persons either debases your life into petty servitude or lifts you toward the heights of Success, Happiness and Attainment. You—and you alone— make your choice day by day, either of self-attainment or of self-abasement, whether you have realized it or

not.

THOUGHT—APOSITIVE OR NEGATIVE FORCE

Each thought in your mind exists as energy operating at a definite rate of vibration. Each thought has its own definite rate of vibration. These rates of mental vibrations differ greatly. Some thoughts have a very high rate of vibration while others are very low indeed in their rate of vibration.

Doubtless you are familiar with the fact that in’ the field of electricity there are two phases of energy cur-rents, which are called Positive and Negative, likewise, in all the world about us we perceive these two great divisions of things and principles; good and evil, God and Satan; Day and Night, Fight and Darkness, Yes and No, Positive and Negative.

God is the Supreme Positive and Evil the Great Negative. Positive thoughts are mirrored by Positive minds; Negative thoughts are reflected by-Negative minds. Positive thoughts are ALWAYS creative thoughts. Positive thoughts attract; the build; they construct.

Negative thoughts are always destructive. Negative thoughts repel, they tear down, they destroy.

When your thoughts vibrate with love and laughter; when your thoughts dwell upon healing, upon Happiness and upon Abundance and Prosperity, YOU ARE THINKING THOUGHTS. Positive mental attitude and Positive thinking will transform your life into Personal Power, Personal Success and will create within you a glowing, magnetic personality.

But, if you have, perhaps unconsciously, entertained the darker brood of thoughts, thoughts with sickness-images, or fear, or hatred, or envy, or poverty, or failure, or dread of age;—all these are the devil’s own nega­tions. These are all negative: thoughts and, their sure result’s are personal non-entity, certain failure and a drab and repulsive personality.

Your Positive thoughts radiate POWER and MAGNETIC FORCE from the very center of your being out-ward.

Is there sickness, is there failure, is there lack, or is there a broken love in your life that seems hope-less? Would you change these unlovely things in your life to Health, to Success, to Abundance and to the Joy of True Romance that will last? Then, today, RIGHT NOW change your thinking from the negative to the .POSITIVE. Change your whole thinking to the POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE and your entire mental and physical vibration automatically tunes into perfect Harmony with the Infinite Mind, GOD.

REALITY IS INVISIBLE

“No man hath seen God at any time...” (I John 4:12). ‘GOD IS SPIRIT, and they that worship Him must worship Him in SPIRIT and in truth...” (John 4:24).

Said our Master Teacher, “And the Father Himself, which hath seen me, hath borne witness of me. YE HAVE NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE at any time, NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE.” (John 5:37)

All Reality is Invisible. As you study these lessons day by day you will soon realize that this outer, material world about you is vibrant with unseen Life, pulsating with unseen Animation, glowing with unseen power. Soon you will come, to know that all life, all animation, and all Power comes from one Invisible source— GOD.

The Power of Healing and Abundant Health, to which you can attain through these teachings of the Academy, are both UNSEEN, but each is a very great and a very joyous REALITY.

Money is monarch over the multitude of men on earth today. Man sees that Money exchanges a hovel for a mansion. Money gilds a coat of arms upon the car of luxury. Money writes security into the baby’s smile. Money glorifies grandpa’s shirt sleeves. But the Reality, the Power of money is invisible.

Said the ancient Egyptians, “O MAN, Know thyself, for in thee is hidden the treasure of Treasures!” Within YOURSELF you have an invisible world to discover, to explore and to conquer. In that hidden realm WITH-IN YOU is the true treasury of your life. In that unseen treasury is all the Money, all the Healing, all the Peace, all the Happiness, all the love and all the Power that you will ever need.

GOD REALLY MEANT YOU

Remember, the Creator of YOUR individual being made no mistakes. When God made you in His image, God,really meant YOU, NONE of that “treasure of treasures” within you can be acquired from the outer world. We repeat that HOW John tells us, “GOD IS SPIRIT,” so all the Health, all the Money, and all of the Happiness and all of the Power within your treasure house are subject to and governed by THAT GREAT CREATIVE SPIRITUAL LAW which the founder of the American Bible Institute first discovered for him-self in his own life.

IN HIS IMAGE

“And God said, “let us make man in our image.” (Gen 1:26) God is SPIRIT. When God made you, he made you as His Image. You are of His Life, mind of his Creative Mind, spirit of His Spirit, substance of His sub-stance.. The real YOU must realize that “before Abraham was, I am.” Your body begins and it ends. But YOU did not begin with birth and YOU will not end with death’. The Bible tells us that “in the beginning was the word logos—Idea.” That IDEA involved the whole scheme of material creation. THAT IDEA INCLUDED YOU.

You are tremendously important. The REAL YOU was present and was one with-God when the-world was Thought Into Being and the Logos began to take material form. “Thou sawest my substance before I was formed in my mother’s womb” is an ancient way of telling us that even your material body was created from the realm of Spiritual Substance.

God is Infinite. There are no limitations in Being. THE REAL YOU images and reflects this Infinite quali­ty. True, your body and your mind find many limitations. Yet there are times of inspiration when your Spirit Within can rise above-all-obstacles and—can achieve your Heart’s Desire in the face of all your limitations. Faithfully study, understanding, and your implicit following to the letter of every direction, will enable you to master, to direct and to command this inspiration at will, even as the Galilean.
