Choosing Thought

Wouldn't you say that we cannot live a choice less life? Every day, every moment, every second, there is choice.
If it were not so we would not be individuals.  
We have the right to choose what we wish to experience.

We have the right to choose the kind of companions with whom we wish to associate; to stay in what city and in what type of house we would like to live.  We are individuals and the only way we can be individuals is to be spontaneous.  There is no such thing as a mechanistic individuality, it must have essential elements of spontaneity.  There is no spontaneity and no individuality without prerogative.  There can be no choice unless there is something from which to choose, otherwise the ability to choose would be merely a fantasy.  Therefore, there must be not only the possibility of choice: but the liability of experiencing that which is chosen.

We have a right to choose what we shall induce in Mind. The way in which our thoughts are to become manifest, we cannot always see or should we be disturbed that we do not see the way because effect is potential in cause. " I am Alpha and Omega", and all that comes between cause and effect.  Cause and effect are really one, and if we have a given cause set in motion, the effect will have to equal the cause.  One is the inside and the other the outside of the same thing.  A certain, specific, concrete manifestation equal to itself.  There is One Infinite Principle, One Infinite Thought-Stuff, One Infinite Creative Power, but countless number of forms, which change as the specific idea behind those changes.

Inducing Thought

That which thought has done,  thought can un-do  Life -long habits of wrong thinking can be consciously and deliberately neutralized, and an entirely new order of mental and emotional reaction can be established in Mind.  Merely to abstain from wrong thinking is not enough.  There must be active right thinking.  We must become actively constructive and happy in our thinking, not merely passively so.  New and wholesome ideas of life (your life), vitality and hope must be accepted and incorporated into the sub-stratum of our own mental life, so that a more wholesome externalization may manifest in our bodily condition and environment.

Since we must and should all begin right where we are, most of us will be compelled to begin our healing work with a mechanical process.  I think we should take the highest thought we have and attempt to enlarge it in our consciousness until it embraces a more vital concept of Reality. Consciousness in this sense means an inner embodiment of ideas.  So if you wish to demonstrate prosperity, you/we must first have a consciousness of health (a healthy body and mind).  This I think is more that faith; it is the knowledge that we are dealing with Law.  While a certain consciousness may be mechanically induced, of course, the more spontaneity put into the mechanical word, the more power the word must and will have. So what you put in is what you get out. (Garbage in garbage out).
