As a counselor and healer, I have devoted many hours a day to blessing
and transmitting my realizations of soul power to my friends at a distance.
A lifetime devoted to creative thought for the healing and strengthening
of souls has kept my mind exalted above mundane disturbing thoughts
and feelings. During these hours of creative activity, my entire mind
became polarized to a vivid and victorious State of Being. I led others up
the steep ascent to these sublime heights of contemplation. I poured out
to all receptive souls the wisdom and power gained by soul contact with
mighty Immortals. I saw the possibility of perfect health and happiness
for every human being who would walk in this Way of Eternal Life, and
who would so organize their lives as to gradually outgrow the qualities
that hold their souls bound to weakness and pain.
I have helped others to health. They have realized soul life and power to
the degree that they have practiced the spiritual principles herein. There
are many who would receive a startling spiritual awakening just by
reading these words charged with soul potencies. Some would be
healed immediately of either mental or physical disturbances by reading
these words. But the majority would uncover their soul health gradually
by attuning their lives to the purpose of the Creator. As they made
themselves worthy builders with the Creator, all the wealth of heaven
would be poured out through them to make them mighty souls. Their
healing and realization of a perfect and powerful character would come
as a result of their service to others.
Whoever will meditate daily, and endeavor to bring their mind back to
their own soul center of consciousness, as the clock strikes each hour,
will begin to realize the awakening of those divine potentialities which
will provide them with endless happy experiences for eternity.

In these meditations I seek to reveal to my friends what I have learned in
my quiet moments of communion with the Source of all knowledge. I am
not trying to convert the prejudiced or unbelieving. These experiences
and revelations are unique and unusual simply because very few
persons devote time to deep thought, or seek to discover what lies
behind their reactions to outer experiences. As the thoughts born of the
mathematical faculties are difficult to understand to one who has not
studied mathematics deeply, so the thoughts born of the spiritual
faculties are difficult to one who has not developed that part of the mind.
My experience is that spiritual faculties can be fed and strengthened in
the same way as the mathematical faculties; so I have provided the
thought-food, the study of which will enlarge and deepen the spiritual
understanding of students of Truth. As they ponder upon these thoughts
they will have certain inner reactions which will reveal the possibility of a
new world of spiritual activity and experience. What I have realized will, I
hope, inspire students to think and create for themselves as I have done.
I have arisen before the sun to bless my friends, and all the world. Most
of the people in this country are asleep, passive to the blessings of
Inspiration which it is my job to pour out to their souls. While their minds
are passive, their souls are alert, and more responsive to blessings.
What an opportunity! Realizing the potent force of thought, and aware
that a host of Victorious Immortals are concentrating their love through
my thought, I enjoy the exhilaration of blessing all souls in this country. I
desire that everyone shall attain to this exalted realization of themselves
as an influential personality, so I urge my readers to begin the day in
quiet concentration, affirming:

Those who claim that they can find no time for quiet thought during the
day, would gain great spiritual profit by rising at four or five in the
morning and devoting a half hour to creative concentration. They would
escape that heavy psychical period which many experience toward
morning. Returning to bed after having become positive by meditation,
they would be refreshed by further relaxation, whether they slept or
remained awake. When I arise at four in the morning, I think of all my
friends, and read to them from spiritual writings, letting the life and joy of
my realization of Divine Inspiration flow to them. Then, thinking of those
who have written to me for wisdom or soul strength, I feel Divine Power
as I affirm:

Another day is dawning. I am sitting facing the west, and in imagination I
see the whole nation awakening to the dawning of a new day. The sun
will soon rise over the Atlantic Ocean and bless Boston with the radiance
of its golden light. As it rises higher and higher in the heavens, the
darkness of night will fade from the land and the light of day will reign
supreme. So shall the spiritual Orb of Splendor rise for every soul in the
land, and lift the pall of depression from the people of the nation. My
work this day and every day is to voice the Inspiration of the Creator,
and to shine as a soul-sun to dissolve the gloom that hides the glory and
-

power within every soul. This should be the work of all enlightened souls.

The world is spread before me in imagination. I bless its millions with a
love that would awaken them to the Inspiration of the All One, lighten
their burdens, soothe their pain, and harmonize their difficulties. O
Creator, help them realize that they can have a spontaneity of creative
joy expressing from the Ever-Presence in their souls which would make
them masters of destiny. As I sit quietly blessing these millions of souls, I
am aware of waves of soft spiritual light vibrating through my blessings
to them. This consciousness of the cooperation of a luminous power
greater than I alone could generate has grown during the years of my
service to humanity. I know from hourly experience that anyone can tune
in with the Cosmic Will and become a mediator for the transmission of
wisdom and power. May this mighty truth be revealed to the multitudes
who are sick, weak and helplessly bewildered, unaware of their divine
potentialities as sons and daughters of the Almighty. Everyone who
tunes in with this mighty Inspiration will help to bring enlightenment to
humanity, and find happiness for themselves.

Whence these luminous waves? Whence these pulsations of power?
The Inspiration of the Creator rises out of my own soul as I bless, but
these luminous waves of power are the inspiration flowing from other
-

souls. They are the blessings expressed by the Victorious Immortals.
Vibrating in unison with my blessings, they gain a tangibility from my
mind that brings them into touch with the people of the earth, and at the
same time they give an exalting power and radiance to my soul that
makes my blessings more inspiring and more effective. Could I make
real to those walking in spiritual darkness the reality of my experience,
and the joy they might experience, all would seek as I have sought to
know the Consciousness of the Creator. This is the knowledge of eternal
life, health, peace and joy.

The multitudes I have blessed for hours every day through the years
have called out of my soul a consciousness of Love which is to me life
eternal. I am not merely a physical person: I am an immortal individual.
My consciousness transcends the experience of the three dimensional
world, and I live consciously in higher dimensions of life and thought. I
live in and enjoy heaven here and now, because I have cultivated the
qualities of soul intelligence which make heaven. Heaven is my throne,
earth is my footstool. What I experience, all may experience. I proclaim
my own experience that other souls may venture fearlessly, and discover
their divine inheritance, the Consciousness of the Creator.

The consciousness of eternal life is not necessarily gained by dying
because the loss of the physical body does not change the mind. It is not
realized by psychical experiences because they do not awaken the soul;
not by psychic phenomena because they merely appeal to the senses.
This consciousness is attained by deepening and developing the mind
until it realizes the eternal life which the soul is now living. The
happiness of heaven can be realized now in the joys of creative service
that bring into expression the beauty and intelligence of the soul. No
mortal beliefs or experiences can take from me the joy of my eternal life
in the Creator.

Looking back into my life I see now that I was spiritually asleep up to the
time I became aware of my immortal life in the All One. My mind was
filled with mental reactions to the facts and forces of the material world. I
knew nothing of the real forces of the realm of mind. I was in a dream
state infatuated with the materialistic superstitions, such as the
commonly held belief that I or anyone could die. Now that I am awake to
the realities of an endless life, how infantile seem my former intellectual
conceits, which I called knowledge and science. How blind I was to the
Presence of Intelligence which has so profoundly provided for the
endless development of the individualized intelligences the Ever-Present
created. How can I exercise the awakened powers of my soul to arouse
-

the immortal children of the Creator, who suffer and sorrow because
they are psychologized by materialistic superstitions? There is
satisfaction for their sorrow, there is peace for their pain, there is
prosperity for their poverty, awaiting them in the Consciousness of the
Creator.

I sense strong and steady pulsations of power as I bless my friends, and
the people of this nation. They are the blessings of the Victorious
Immortals. They come from an Orb of Splendor that is shining like the
rising sun above this country to bring enlightenment to its people. The
Immortals who dwell in this Spiritual Sphere have come to transform the
world, and to bring peace and prosperity to all humanity. This day their
power is pulsating through all souls. All who will attune their lives to the
benevolent purpose of the Victorious Immortals will begin to realize the
health, the peace and the creative joy which will make life here on this
earth a glorious and progressive experience of the eternal life of the
Creator.

It is a most exalting experience to meditate early in the morning and to
feel that one can positively influence a whole world of sleeping minds. In
blessing these minds, I do not try to impose my will upon them. I tune in
with the Cosmic Will and feel Its creative mood which prevails this day. I
-

thus exalt my mind into accord with my Creator and feel the practical
power of Infinite Will inspiring all my plans and purposes during this day.
I become a step-down transformer for the power of the Cosmic Will.
Everyone can learn to do this, and in so doing they will enlarge and exalt
their personal power. It opens the inner door to permanent health and
success. The inner Inspiration of the Ever-Present is felt by many this
day as a creative urge, moving them to create, originate and invent. The
outer inspiration of the Victorious Immortals is felt by those harmonious
souls attuned to its purpose as a purifying and perfecting power. The
Administration of the Almighty is preparing the world for a new and more
benevolent leadership. Now is the opportunity for every soul to become
a bearer of Light to make the humanitarian purpose of Heaven real and
powerful in this world of practical affairs.

The mood this day is receptivity, sensitivity, impressionability, and
responsiveness of soul to divine monitions. The Immortals are seeking
the sensitive souls who are the salt of the earth, in order to purify them of
the psychical influences which hold them in subjection, and draw them
into a unity of purpose that shall provide earth with the mightiest souls
that have ever been known. I have felt the Inspiration of the Almighty
and the Angel Hosts flowing through and around me this day, blessing
all sensitive souls with awakening power.

As I commune with souls everywhere in the early morning hours I sense
a stirring of those souls which presages a mighty awakening. In the
midst of the gloom glows a great light. Those living on the mental plane
do not feel it. But those whose hearts are attuned to the humanitarian
motive, and who are seeking how they may do the greatest good for
their fellows, feel the Urge and see the Light beginning to illuminate their
way.
Young men and women have thought deeply upon the motives that have
ruled destructively in the past, and many of them have felt the Real
Motive that will perfect and glorify life here on earth, and bring peace
and prosperity to all. These young people will be our leaders, and the
builders of a new nation and a new world. Every one of us can help to
usher in this new era, and give soul strength to these youthful leaders by
cultivating, intensifying and expressing the perfecting influence of Love.
The gloom will be dissipated by the Light of Love that we all create. The
world will become perfect as we perfect ourselves by expressing Love in
all our ways.

What a pleasure to arise early and quietly tune in with the mood and
meaning of the new day! What priceless moments of serenity and
harmony, when the whole world pulsates with healing love! What a
spiritual leverage it gives over the conflicts and confusions of the day! I
feel myself a universal soul teacher and healer in these exalted
-
11
moments of meditation. I enjoy my attunement with the Cosmic Will and
act with it to bless responsive souls in all the world who are serving
humanity. All might enjoy as I enjoy this communion with the Cosmic Will
and realize Its healing power working constructively in them to
harmonize body and affairs. But as they are as yet asleep to the truth
that they can be active agents of the Will of the Creator, those who are
awakened must vibrate an awakening influence to arouse those around
them to know and live life more abundantly. I feel Divine Inspiration as I
affirm:

I feel that the Inspiration of the Almighty is exalting and empowering all
natural and spiritual healers. Life requires expression and not
suppression, in order to heal and perfect human lives on the physical,
mental and spiritual levels. The suppressive psychology and medication
of the past will be replaced by the psychology of self-expression, and
healing methods which liberate life to perfect expression. Intelligent
organizing Life is always present and always powerful to perfect human
character and to heal human bodies, but it requires humanity to think,
feel and act so as to give it expression. Then humanity is transformed by
the renewal of its life and mind from within. The more I teach the more I
know, the more I bless the greater is the healing love that flows through
my soul; the more I use my will constructively the greater is my power to
do so. Thus I fulfill the law of self-expression. Love is the fulfilling of the
-
12
law.

I see those Beings who personify the authority of the Almighty touching
and awakening young men and women throughout the world, and
preparing them to fulfill a mighty purpose. They will draw them together
into an efficient organization. They will show them the Way, and make
them leaders of world emancipation. These young people will be
inspired and will speak with authority. They will reveal moral, as well as
mechanical principles. They will organize human society and create
peace and prosperity. As natural and spiritual healers they will perform
miracles of love. As healers they will fill the hospitals with their healing
radiance. As teachers of children they will be panoplied with a power
which will protect children from all destructive psychical influences. As
scientists they will show the unity of spiritual and physical forces. They
will establish righteousness and justice and transform laborious work into
humanitarian service.

I unite with the Immortal Idealists in the heavenly Realm to bless all
souls who are trying to make their ideals real and practical in this
physical world. The ideals of visionaries and dreamers of the past are
the practical facts of today. After many years of exploration in the Realm
of the Ideal, I can say that it contains the answers to all human prayers,
-
13
and will satisfy all aspiring souls with permanent peace and progressive
wisdom. We have realized strength and inspiration as we have kept
attuned with the Victorious Immortals who would lift the whole world into
their exalted state of peace and perfection. They are giving the force of
faith to their ideals, knowing that sometime, somewhere, they will
become realities.

As I have consecrated a lifetime to making my ideals real, so have
others envisioned the possibilities and determined to sacrifice and serve
together to make those ideals real. After years of association, we have
developed a Concord of Creators, every member of which has
consecrated their lives to doing the Cosmic Will. Every one has pledged
to sacrifice personal selfishness, time, talents and money in order to help
build a new world. Collective self-expression has become to us a source
of strength and success.

We have been a progressive nation. Other nations have followed our
lead. The ideas and inventions born in this country have had a liberating
influence upon the whole world. We have sought a personal and a
selfish liberty, but we shall progress to the realization that "Where the

Spirit of Love is, there is Liberty." The liberty of the immortal sons and
daughters of the Creator will be realized as we outgrow selfishness, and
lose our lives in unselfish service. In the present world men and women
are turning for light to the intelligence of their own souls, and they are
learning how love will bring liberty. As we realize and organize this Love
and make it practical we shall become a progressive nation in the truest
sense, and lead the world to freedom from poverty, criminality, and all
the evils born of selfishness. For all souls in this nation, I affirm:

The Victorious Immortals have created Places of Radiance in the
spiritual worlds to which the sick and distraught spirits newly risen from
earth are brought for their healing. Angelic Beings bathe these
discordant spirits in their love and harmonize and heal them. Then they
teach them how to think constructively and how to bless with love until
each one becomes a center of radiance and a healing influence to
others. When I envisioned these spiritual and celestial Places of
Radiance years ago, I planned to create a Place of Radiance in the
physical world. The students therein would be taught how to express
divine Love and become so radiant that together they would create an
atmosphere of harmony into which the Angels could come and help
them make a mighty Place of Radiance on earth. We can truly affirm:

I would use the magic of words to withdraw your mind from its
entanglement in the shadow world to the contemplation of the truths of
the realm of Reality. The truth of your Being is so deep, so profound, so
glorious, that you could spend endless years in the contemplation of its
beauty. The truth of your Being is the truth of the Creator. As you learn
to express the potentialities of your own nature , you will reveal the truth
and power of the Ever-Present. The truth most essential for you to know,
if you would outgrow your mental and physical limitations, is the truth of
that Divine Dynamic which you call your Self. You will find inspiration
and power in the truth that you are a living Will, a Will that can conquer
ignorance, disaster, and fate, and rise to those heights of self-knowledge
and self-expression which have been attained by the Angels of the
Almighty. Meditate upon this thought this day:

You are an immortal form of Intelligence! You are not the limited physical
form. You are not the limited mind that functions through your flesh. You
are an intelligent Soul, superior to physical and mental forms and
conditions. You were born from the love-intelligence of the Creator, to
personify Wisdom and Beauty.
As the poets song is a thing of beauty which words cannot adequately
express; as the artists picture, as it exists in the Realm of the Mind, can
be but faintly represented in form and color on canvas; so the Creators
Idea of you is a transcendent Soul which flesh and thought utterly fail to
-

reveal. Meditate upon this thought today:

The physical world of sensation is but the shadow of the Reality. Matter
is absolutely obedient to the creative forces of Mind. Lift your thought
from appearances to the Realm of Reality. Conceive of your soul as the
Creators idea, and time and space will reveal more and more of the
beauty of your real Self.
Your thought has created a mental sphere which attracts mental and
physical conditions manifesting the quality and intelligence of your
thought. Your present condition is the effect of your acceptance of the
thoughts and feelings of the race mind, thoughts and feelings based
upon material experience. You must re-conceive yourself by creating a
nobler and truer concept of your own being. You glorify your Creator by
thinking truly of your Self. Now you desire to create a more peaceful and
perfect world. There is a perfect pattern in the Divine Mind. You can
conceive of this pattern and recreate your mental and physical world
after its image and likeness. You can attune your mind to the Divine Idea
and think Divine Thoughts.

You can drink of refreshing water from the well of Divine Thought. You
can partake of spiritual food from the table of Divine Love. You can
breathe the Breath of Divine Meaning, and be inspired by the life of the
Creator. You can feel the pulsations of the Heart of Divine Love within
your own being, and be restored to angelic health. You will unfold the
latent wisdom and power in your true Self by learning to give out the
thoughts born of Inspiration to those in need. You are to learn to send
forth a stream of true thoughts from your own creative Intelligence. As
your thought is lifted up, you will draw all minds to the Light from whence
your thought proceeds. Think today of the exaltation of the Immortals
who glorified the All One by thinking Infinite Thoughts, feeling Eternal
Love, and doing the Omnipotent Will, and affirm with them:

The Creator is the active life and energy that you see displayed in all the
forms that surround you. The forms you see are the effects of Ever-
Presence. The All One is the unseen cause of their life and activity. They
are unreal and temporary: Jehovih is real and permanent. They are the
shadow: Jehovih is the Light. All that your senses know are but shadow-
imitations of the real. Do not identify yourself with the shadows which are
transient things, because thereby you suffer loss when they pass.
Identify yourself with the creative Intelligence which gives these things
their temporary existence. You cannot be content with shadows and
sensory pleasures because your consciousness is in the Realm of
Reality. You can be satisfied only in the enjoyment of its everlasting
Being. Listen to the Inspiration in your soul which always encourages,
-
18
strengthens and invigorates your faith. Identify your Intelligence with that
exalted Intelligence which sees no limitations, which feels the joy of
endless life and of ever-growing aspirations. Feel that you are the
Intelligence that has conquered all things, and attained to immortal
freedom and power.
Begin to live in the Consciousness which is deeper and broader than
your sense life. Be yourself a creative cause for the ideal and happy
state that will satisfy your highest conception of what is good and true.

Open-mindedness and tolerance toward all need not hinder
discrimination as to the particular value or degree of spiritual
development of any person. Your sympathy and goodwill for everyone in
every condition of life open ways through which you receive blessings
and benefits the Creator is ever giving through all creation. When you
close your mind to the understanding and appreciation of the intelligence
of any creature you close your life to the good that the All One may give
you through that soul. To limit wisdom or revelation to one sect, or
doctrine, or nation, is to limit your realization of the intelligence and
power of the Creator. The Ever-Present is uttering Infinite Intelligence
through the scientific mind, the metaphysical mind, the materialist, the
spiritualist, and through the revealer of planetary lore. You are to test all
things in order to find that which proves most potent in practice. The
universe as a whole is not great enough to reveal all the wisdom and
power of the Creator; how shall one book, one cult, or one nation
-

comprehend or reveal all of the Infinite Intelligence?

Divine Intelligence knows all by being all. Let your mind find rest and

Intelligence are one, and inseparable. Free your mind from beliefs and
prejudices which hide this consciousness of Oneness. Feel the

the depths of darkness to the heights of Light. You will realize a new

Mother those in the babyhood of intelligence with the unselfish kindness
of a godlike being. Do not criticize, condemn or ridicule them for what
they do not understand. Win them to your thought by gentleness and
tolerance. Help them as you would help the undeveloped babe, and they
will grow to bless you.
Work not for any selfish end. Let the joys of self-expression be your
satisfying reward. You will find satisfaction in seeing the ripening fruits of
your efforts. Leave the fruitage in the Creators hands. Thus you grow in
freedom and are not bound by self-interest.

Your life of loving service for the good of all lifts up the whole world. You
are an active, creative center in the Mind of the Whole, and every mind
is benefited by your activity. You are a silent, subjective source of
inspiration and faith to other souls attuned to your radiant influence. You
are an active agent of the Almighty. You feel the Love of the Creator
expressing through your soul to all children. This is the freeing Spirit.
Where the Spirit of Love is, there is liberty. The love you radiate makes
your atmosphere luminous and harmonious with the healing light of
Heaven. Your love for all is the very feeling of the Infinite Intelligence,
which purifies and liberates your mind and soul, and links you with the
Victorious Immortals of all ages.
I am a blessing, Love is my power. O, the wisdom and power of this
Presence of Inspiration! My mind is stilled in wonder, and awe of the
Eternal is the beginning of wisdom. This Presence does everything,
moves constellations of suns or creates human bodies with equal ease. I
relax into this effortless Presence and find peace and power. Why strain
after things and accumulate heavy and enduring responsibilities in the
outer world when wisdom and satisfaction are found only in the inner
world of the soul?

The nation extends before my thought, and every soul therein draws
upon my love. Every soul I bless adds to the enriching current of love
that flows through me. My supreme satisfaction is found in feeling and
acting as a universal brother. My sympathetic understanding of the
limitations and suffering of human souls inspires me to serve to the
utmost degree to bring them the liberty I have found. I want to give to all
the benefits of my knowledge and experience. I want to lead them up the
mount of vision where they will see what I see:

Inspiration has led me into the exalted realization of the One Who is All.
While I tell of many planes and states of life, nevertheless I see but One
all-comprehending Mind, in which all minds live, move and have their
being, whether they have physical bodies or not. In the realization of
unity with all I cannot think or feel aught against another because in so
doing I injure myself. I am impelled to bless, give and serve to the utmost
degree because in satisfying others, I am myself satisfied. Thus in unity
of thought and feeling with all, I affirm, as the clock strikes the hour.
