You Are That!
For everything has its origin inthe mind, and that which you seek outwardly, you already possess. Your thoughtof a thing constitutes its origin. Therefore:
The Thought Form of the Thingis already Yours as soon as you think it.
Your steady recognition ofthis Thought Possession causes the thought to concentrate, to condense, toproject itself, and to assume physical form.
The recognition or conceptionof new sources of wealth is the loftiest aspiration you can take into yourheart, for it assumes and implies the furtherance of all noble aims.
You must get rid of the lastvestige of the old idea that there is a Deity whose will it is that you shouldbe poor, or whose purposes may be served by keeping you in poverty.
The Intelligent Substancewhich is All, and in All, and which lives in All and lives in you, is aconsciously Living Substance. Being a consciously living substance, It musthave the nature and inherent desire of every living intelligence for increaseof life. Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of itslife, because life, in the mere act of living, must increase itself.
A seed, dropped into theground, springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred moreseeds;life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever becoming Becoming More it mustdo so, if it continues to be at all.
Intelligence is under thissame necessity for continuous increase. Every thought we think makes itnecessary for us to think another thought; consciousness is continually expanding.
Every fact we learn leads usto the learning of another fact; knowledge is continually increasing. Every talentwe cultivate brings to the mind the desire to cultivate another talent; we aresubject to the urge of life, seeking expression, which ever drives us on toknow more, to do more, and to be more.
