the conscious knowledge of this truth which
will enable you to overcome every difficulty.
23. The conditions with which you meet in the world without are invariably the result of the
conditions obtaining in the world within, therefore it follows with scientific accuracy that by
holding the perfect ideal in mind you can bring about ideal conditions in your environment.
24. If you see only the incomplete, the imperfect, the relative, the limited, these conditions will
manifest in your life; but if you train your mind to see and realize the spiritual ego, the "I"
which is forever perfect and complete, harmonious; wholesome, and healthful conditions only
will be manifested.
25. As thought is creative, and the truth is the highest and most perfect thought which
anyone can think, it is self-evident that to think the truth is to create that which is true and it is
again evident that when truth comes into being that which is false must cease to be.
26. The Universal Mind is the totality of all mind which is in existence. Spirit is Mind, because
spirit is intelligent. The words are, therefore, synonymous.
27. The difficulty with which you have to contend is to realize that mind is not individual. It is
omnipresent. It exists everywhere. In other words, there is no place where it is not. It is,
therefore, Universal.
28. Men have, heretofore, generally used the word "God" to indicate this Universal, creative
principle; but the word "God" does not convey the right meaning. Most people understand
this word to mean something outside of themselves; while exactly the contrary is the fact. It is
our very life. Without it we would be dead. We would cease to exist. The minute the spirit
leaves the body, we are as nothing. Therefore, spirit is really, all there is of us.
29. Now, the only activity which the spirit possesses is the power to think. Therefore, thought
must be creative, because spirit is creative. This creative power is impersonal and your ability
to think is your ability to control it and make use of it for the benefit of yourself and others.
30. When the truth of this statement is realized, understood, and appreciated, you will have
come into possession of the Master-Key, but remember that only those who are wise enough
to understand, broad enough to weigh the evidence, firm enough to follow their own
judgment, and strong enough to make the sacrifice exacted, may enter and partake.
31. This week, try to realize that this is truly a wonderful world in which we live, that you are a
wonderful being that many are awakening to a knowledge of the Truth, and as fast as they
awake and come into a knowledge of the “things which have been prepared for them” they,
too, realize that "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of
man," the splendors which exist for those who find themselves in the Promised Land. They
have crossed the river of judgment and have arrived at the point of discrimination between
the true and the false, and have found that all they ever willed or dreamed, was but a faint
concept of the dazzling reality.
"Though an inheritance of acres may be bequeathed, an inheritance of knowledge and
wisdom cannot. The wealthy man may pay others for doing his work for him, but it is
impossible to get his thinking done for him by another or to purchase any kind of self-culture."
- S. Smiles

words, you will come to know that the wonderful promises made in the Bible are fact, not
fiction, and can be demonstrated by anyone having sufficient understanding.
"Temples have their sacred images, and we see what influence they have always had over a
great part of mankind; but, in truth, the ideas and images in men's minds are the invisible
powers that constantly govern them; and to these they all pay universally a ready
submission." - Jonathan Edwards
