The Power of THOUGHT!

It has taken humanity thousands of years to learn that it has the power to control its own destiny.  From the Bible we have the assurance: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."  The old Greek philosophers understood something of the meaning of thought. What we expect, said Aristotle, that we find.  What we wish, said Demosthenes, that we believe. And the great Shakespeare is accredited with the saying" "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so."  It is one thing to know a principle, another to apply it.

The modern commercial world accepts the slogan: "He can who thinks he can."  But throughout the ages many persons have realized that causation is from within. True, thousand of unhappy people would indicate that a comparatively small number have used this knowledge for their own benefit; yet the day for incredulous skepticism or shallow criticism of the power of thought has passed.  Unless we want to discredit all of the human testimony, we are forced to the conclusion that bodily healing of all manner of sickness by mental and spiritual means, is a fact.  Doctors with the highest of standing and repute are assiduously taking a serious look and studying mental phenomena and mental processes. They are realizing the incredible possibilities of dominion resident in the dynamic forces of the mental realm. A belief in and acceptance of mental health has arrived in the most orthodox of medical circles, and is becoming increasingly approved as a legitimate and useful healing agent.

But much in this field is obscure and imperfectly understood. for the scientific study of the mind is still in a state of infancy. Yet the fact is that a misuse of mental and spiritual laws is at the root of many unhappy conditions connected to the physical life, stand out loud and clear.

But lets remind ourselves that the first principle fundamentally is to have an understanding of the operation of thought is, that we are surrounded by an Infinite Intelligence.  Think about the possibilities of healing physical disease, changing our environment, attracting friends and demonstrating supply through the power of right thinking could actually rests entirely on the theory that we are surrounded by an Infinite Mind, which reacts to our thought according to the Laws of the Universe, the Oneness, that Infinite Intelligence.

Yet we only comprehend the meaning of an Infinite Intelligence on a very small scale. But because we are spiritual beings, I think we do sense the presence of an Intelligence which is beyond our comprehension.
An Intelligence which is great enough to encompass the past, to understand the present and to be the Father of the future. Knowing that it is the Cause of everything that has been, and is that out of which must unfold and reveal everything that is to be. Think about it......Our own intelligence is one of its own activities and is of like nature to It.
