The Realm of the Mind

MAYAN: Modern encyclopedias and dictionaries suggest that the word "MAYAN" meant, in ancient days, "Illusion", This is only partially correct. It formerly represented a sublime teaching of "the Illusion of the Seeming Reality of the Physical Life". Correctly stated, this means "the ability to perceive that this physical life is far less real; is an illusion when compared to the Truth of our Real existence now and forever as Spirit, Mind and Soul".

Inability to understand this sublime truth led to the Hindu acceptance of the meaning of Mayan as "the Illusion of Physical Selfhood". Mayan is more than this; it perceives through the illusion to the Real Self that is Immortal. Thousands of years ago, Mayan Gurus (Teachers) made their way to India to give the Orient, Mayan Wisdom. It is believed that while the Hindus only partially perceived the Great Wisdom, nevertheless they were able to build up their tremendous reputation for miracle working and to develop their remarkable occult knowledge as the result of the knowledge revealed to them by these ancient travelers and teachers.

Again we meet in the Realm of the Mind and enjoy Companionship by the attunement of our thoughts.

Before We turn to the study of "Your Major Aims and the Development of Faith", let us return to the Land of the Ancient Maya, to see what part the development of Thought, Major Aims, and Faith, played in the rise of a remarkable civilization that endured for thousands of years.

What is to follow shows the POWER of Imagination, of Thought, of Major Aims, and of Faith, as it existed in the lives of many of the Ancients, and of how they advanced to a level of happier and more prosperous living than was to be known elsewhere for many hundreds of years.

Ten thousand years or more ago, Thought and Imagination were at work, and a Great Wall, like that standing in China today, was being built in the land of The Mayan. Ten thousand years ago this civilization was establishing a unity that reached its peak before Christ was born.

There were few social problems in Ancient America as we understand the phrase today. Government and economics then were simpler, but superior. Gold was not valued as money, but as a metal to be owned by all the people and used for sacred purposes. It was called the "metal of the Sun" and was shared by all in their temples.

In medicine, Faith and the development of Major Aims, together with Thought and Imagination, worked miracles in overcoming the deadly poisons of serpents and insects that science today has learned in but the last few decades. They experimented with "raising the dead" as science is now doing. Dentistry was a definite science then, and there are indications that blood transfusions were performed successfully. Anesthesia, rediscovered by us less than 150 years ago, was practiced by the Ancient Mayans.

In mathematics, the Mayan had reached a remarkable development. They were using the principle underlying the decimal system many centuries before Europeans had given up the clumsy Roman numerals. Their system was developed before the Hindu's, from whom Europe got the idea through the Arabs.

Far more than any other people of the time, even the humblest classes of the Ancient Mayan placed much emphasis upon personal cleanliness. This greatly impressed the Spanish Bishop Diego de Landa, who in the latter part of the sixteenth century, reported that the Mayan "bathed continuously". At least one bath a day was the rule, which seemed excessive to the Spaniards. House furnishings were simple, even among the wealthy, but the sanitary structure of the room was good enough to please a modern hospital.

Thoughts and Feelings:
The Art of Cognitive Stress Intervention

Further, they practiced commerce when Europe was a wilderness! They knew the world was round, like the sun, when the rest of mankind thought it to be flat! They were experts in metal work and plating, gem cutting and design, weaving and cloth-making. Their pottery and sculpture and painting was at its Golden Age about five hundred years before Christ was born, and at that time far surpassed Egypt and the Orient, and was more than equal to Greece.

An extensive Mayan literature, in prose and verse, existed, but that which would be available today was destroyed by the Spanish Conquistadores, because they could not understand it! These recordings were in books of paper made from maguay leaves, or on sheets Fof deerskin. Other recordings on stones, walls and buildings are found today, mostly in fragments.

The Ancient Mayans of whom I speak were very religious and did not make human sacrifice. They gave great attention to spiritual powers and the forces of man. They practiced baptism and the hearing of confessions. They originally were not Sun-worshipers in the sense of considering the Sun a "god"~ but rather as a manifestation of God and the bringer of health and light.

With the aim of securing prosperity and happiness, they studied the Powers that God (The Great Spirit) placed in man. With the decline of the race, and the coming of savage tribes from the North, evil practices appeared and grew, and it is of these tribes that one reads so much today in sensational stories of savagery and human sacrifice among the so-called "Maya" With the intrusion of the interlopers from the North, higher enlightenment was more and more withdrawn until in the passing of some three thousand years, the light was greatly dimmed.

However, what we tell you here of the true Ancient Mayan serves to show that this isolated body of people - alone in a world of races which was greatly underdeveloped in comparison with them - had the Thought Control, the Major Aims, the Faith and the Imagination that were necessary to bring to them - individually and collectively - a higher standard of living, more peace and prosperity, and better health than were the lot of those who lived thousands of years before them - or hundreds of years after the decline of their Era.

YOUR MAJOR AIMS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FAITH

Every living thing possesses FAITH, but humanity alone fails to make full use of the Power of Faith. Faith is the Amperage of Life - the strength of the current of Power flowing through us from the Source of All Power.

Perhaps it seems strange to speak of Faith in terms of electrical science - amperage - but Faith does vary in strength, as does electricity. And with no short circuits (fears) to drain off its power, no transformers (doubts) to "step down" its strength, Faith has a tremendous potential far beyond our comprehension - just as the strong current surging through high tension wires can turn the wheels of mighty machines many miles from the source of power.

When Christ spoke of "faith as a mustard seed", He was speaking of this same principle - amperage. The tiny mustard seed simply does what God intends that it should, and grows into a sizable plant - a tree large enough to shelter the birds of the air, we read. We might say that it is 100% faith-filled.

Now look at yourself and think of what tremendous things The Father intends for you! Think of the measure of success you have attained with just a small percentage of faith - perhaps 50%, or is it even less? Then think of what you could be and do if you, like the mustard seed, were 100% faith-filled!

HAVE 100% FAITH - EVEN AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED AND YOU WILL SUCCEED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

You may think that Faith is not necessary to existence, or life's greater endeavors, but let me prove to you that it is.

A businessman must have Faith that the goods he stocks will sell. First he must have Faith or he wouldn't buy the goods. Certainly he would not buy or stock something that he knew he could not selll Then he must have Faith that he can sell them and have Faith that the goods are worthy. He must have Faith that the public will want them and that, after purchasing, they will like them and keep them. All these things require Faith!

Then he must spend his money advertising these goods. He must communicate his Faith in the desirability and the quality and values in these goods to the public. To get this across his Faith must be strong. And in all these things,

The merchant will succeed in proportion to his own Faith and the Faith he arouses in others.

To the exact degree that he keeps Faith with his customers, he succeeds in the long run. People like to deal with the merchants they can trust to keep the Faith., The merchant who does not do so soon goes out of business o. And whether you are a merchant selling goods, or whether you are engaged in any other line of endeavor, all of this applies equally well to you. "Commit thy ways unto Jehovah; Trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass. - Psalms 37: 5

I trust that you join with us in spirit each morning for meditation and prayer, presenting your Major Aims to Him from Whom the answer is already on its way to you. Remember that it is not necessary to know HOW God is going to bring about fulfillment in your life. It will not be necessary to instruct Him HOW you think the materialization is to be accomplished. Just have FAITH! Leave the details to Him. Let Him show you the Way - and be prepared to do your part to further any manifestations that He reveals to you.

Do not set a time for God to act in. Do not expect to tell God to manifest money, or better health, or to change the reactions of a loved one by the 15th or you'll try something else! Ridiculous as this sounds, people do do such things. "O, God," they pray, Give me a million dollars and I'll give 10% of it to Thy work." And they never realize the unmitigated impertinence of it. I ask YOU, what would happen if they walked in to see their banker and talked this way?

Never forget that God knows your need before you are even aware of it - and He is bringing the answer to pass even before you ask for it. But we must recognize our needs and bring them to Him, showing our trust in Him, and then prepare ourselves to receive His answers - for they will come.

FEAR - THE ABSENCE OF FAITH

This is an age of surface thinking and fast living. We fret and we stew about the little things of our little earth life,

and seldom lift our eyes to the vastness of the heavens. We worry and fret, and consider everything in terms of our own limitations. We become angry we destroy things dear to us we hurt the ones we love, and who love us.

Why? Because we are what we are today because of our Major Habits of THOUGHT. If our thoughts are on fear, we become fearful. If our Major Habit of Thought is Good, we will grow steadily nearer to Perfection.

A sick man's thoughts are on his sickness. He continually thinks "I AM SICK". And he becomes steadily WORSE until he changes his thoughts, so that his Major Thought is, "I WILL GET WELL" - and means it. As he begins to recover, his Major Thought is, and MUST be, "I AM GETTING WELL."

The poor think of their poverty. Their Major Thoughts are on the things they lack. There are millions of people who BELIEVE (and that is only another word for FAITH) that they are doomed to poverty. What you believe is what manifests - be it Good or Bad.

Now, suppose your Major Aim is the attainment of better health where do you begin? You must begin with overcoming worry, nervousness, and fear. In order to overcome nerves, one must first do away with Fear. Fear and its counterpart - worry - accounts for at least 90% of nervous disorders. Fear exists ONLY where FAITH is lacking! To state it in different words: ----

FEAR HAS NO REALITY OF ITS OWN. IT IS SIMPLY AN ABSENCE OF FAITH!

You will agree, therefore, that Fear is a very unsubstantial thing and should be easily overcome. Fear may be likened to the darkness in a room. Darkness is only the absence of light. Turn on the light of FAITH and the darkness of worry and fear will vanish.

Usually those who suffer most from nerves are the very folks who could do the most for the world about them, if they learned to apply Faith instead of Fear. They, more than any others, are the sensitive types of humankind, those who feel emotions keenly, and it is these people who have the greatest potential power for good and Success in all things, if properly directed and understood.

To obtain a strong, real, and abiding inner Faith - a Faith "which doubts not in the heart" - may take some mental conditioning, for Faith, like Happiness or Fear, is a state of mind. It may be induced, but ~mental effort is necessary. In fact, using intense effort of the Will to fight obstacles to Faith invariably produces and implants the opposite result from what you wish.

Let us return to the illustration of darkness in a room. You do not fight the darkness, concentrating on it and trying through intense effort to drive it from the room. You simply let in the Light. If you let in only a small amount, shadows will lurk in the corners and behind objects in the room; but when you let in the bright, full power of Light, the shadows disappear.

So it is with Faith. When you open your Mind to receive the Light of Truth, at first there may be shadows (doubts and worries); but as enlightenment increases, Truth flows in, through, and around the objects along your way, seeming obstructions are seen for what they are, and the shadows of doubt and fear and worry disappear. With each manifestation of the Power of God's Light, with each "shadow" dispelled, Faith increases.

This is why I say that no effort of Will can attain Faith, no matter how strong the Will may be. But-

A WILL TO ATTAIN - COMBINED WITH ABSOLUTE FAITH - ALWAYS GETS POSITIVE RESULTS!

For all of these reasons it is important that YOU know exactly what you want. That is why you are instructed to KEEP the things that you want CONSTANTLY in your Mind. That is why you are told to use your list of Major Aims frequently in order to make these thoughts the DOMINANT thing in your Mind.

When you KNOW you are entitled to have something - and you KNOW what that something is, and when you DESIRE IT GREATLY - you can be sure that that something will shortly be yours!

On the physical plane - that is, in this earthly life where we now find ourselves - there are certain rules that we must observe. These are more than rules - they are Laws. They are laws that are absolute. No favoritism is shown; no living thing can break them.

Perhaps the first of these is the rule of Motion or Change. No man or beast, no bird or bug, no fish or vegetable can avoid Change. Stones, minerals, the waters of the Earth - the Earth itself - must Change. The motion is often slow, but it is nevertheless continuously, unceasingly occuring.

We are born, we live a little, we die. We die? No! We change. We change from this physical world to the realm of the Eternal. We rid ourselves of a hampering limitation. The things we know now all that we are conscious of are limited by the rules of Time and Space. Think about those two words - Time and Space. You will soon perceive, perhaps vaguely at first, that THEY are the physical. You will also be shown, as you develop further, that they are illusions of the physical plane. They are like barriers. I do not say they are barriers, but they are like barriers. They bar only those who do not understand that they are nothing.

Neither Time nor Space can hold back your Mind, your Spirit, or your Soul.

Their hold is only on your physical body. Only to the physical body occupying space, in Space, is Time important. It is important on the physical plane only because of the Law of Change.

One of the manifestations of the Law of Change is Growth. Another is Death. Both are acting within your physical body this minute. Every minute that you live, asleep or awake, conscious or unconscious, new cells are being created and other cells are dying; not just a few, but millions of them. Your Body is like a gigantic battlefield with tremendous highly-organized armies ranging through it. One force is constantly overcoming the other - two forces but One Principle.

There is One Principle, but it is dual in its nature. There is One General in supreme command over both armies. The General's name is Mind. All of the countless billions of cell-soldiers must obey his command. Mind is supreme. He was placed in charge by authority of the Almighty who is All-Mind or Universal Mind.

"So God created man in His own image,

in the image of God created He him;

male and female created He them."

-- Genesis 1: 27

THE POWER OF THE WORD

The above are the plainly written words, yet not one person in a thousand has any clear idea of their meaning, or any idea at all of what God is really like.

IN HIS IMAGE

Let us look again at the words of Holy Script. Do you suppose that these words mean that God looks like man? Do you suppose that it means that somewhere up in the sky there sits a superman in an embodiment that looks like you or me in our physical form? The average person who holds that conception seems to get mixed up and turns things around until, if you analyze his idea, you find that he is inclined to think of God as made in his (the man's) image. But obviously, that cannot be correct.

What is God's image then? If you will read the wonderful story of Genesis again, you will notice that each "day" (or era) of God's work of Creation starts with the same words. "And God said, 'Let there be light', and there was light." Next we find, "And God said, 'Let there be a firmament'. Again, And God said, 'Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together and let the dry land appear etc.'11 Each act of Creation in each of the eras is told in the words: And God said.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

This has been called the "Power of The Word". All Bible students know that much of the Bible has a dual meaning. Words that are used to tell the story often contain a hidden or deeper meaning, as do the stories themselves, which are called allegories. We all can realize that to utter a word requires Thought.

Thought represents the action of Mind.

The "Power of The Word" then, is the Power of Mind in Action.

Mind - God-Mind or Universal Mind - has, by Action, the Power to Create what it wishes - and Man is made in His Image and has the power to create.

THE REVELATION PRINCIPLE

Let us return to the statement, "And God Created man in His own Image". Now, if God were manifesting as Mind, would we not find it reasonable to interpret "His Image" as Mind also?

An image is like a reflection. If Man is God's reflection on an infinitely smaller scale, and God is manifesting as Mind, then the reflection also must be of Mind.

If man is God's Image and likeness in the manifestation of Mind, and Mind is capable of creating by Action; then Man. in his way, can create by Mind. That is the Revelation Principle.

I shall not attempt to reveal to you in full all of the hidden teachings in the story of the Garden of Eden. Let me call

your attention here, though, to the abundance enjoyed by Adam and Eve, their purity and innocence, their completeness and joy. You are familiar with The Tree of Knowledge and The Tree of Life, and Adam's and Eve's temptation, fall and expulsion from the Garden of Abundance.

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Become mortal physically)

-- Genesis 2: 17

Without knowledge of good and evil, sin was impossible. With the eating of the apple, the story portrays the coming of knowing how to be evil, or of having a consciousness of evil, and sin instantaneously appears. With the coming of knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve were forced to depend on their own minds or the physicalized image of God-Mind. That is the knowledge we mortals are born with today. We call it the voice of Conscience, "that still, small voice within you that tells you what is right or wrong."

Let us here pass to another point that often is not understood. We all know the teaching that Jesus came that we might be saved. But how many can tell how or in what way He was to save us? "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it abundantly,"

John 10:10.

His life of ministering, teaching and suffering was a living allegory representing the suffering of Mankind since Eden, the expiation of the sin and the bringing of "The Power of The Word" again to Man.

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me,

the works that I do shall he do also;

and greater works than these shall he do It -- John 14:12

He set before you "a door opened", a door leading into a garden like unto Eden. the Garden of Heart's Desire. You, however, are a descendant of one who violated a principle; therefore, you are not born within the garden but, through Christ Jesus, you may enter. The door is open and within is abundance of every good thing. Please read these 3 paragraphs again thoughtfully, carefully, being sure that you understand them.

"Blessed is he that readeth,

and they that hear the words of this prophecy,

and keep those things which are written therein:

for the time is at hand,"

-- Revelation 1:3

The Secrets of the Power of Intention

INCREASING YOUR STORE ATTHE FORK IN THE TRAIL

Strive each day to attain a little nearer to your Goal. No matter how small the advancement may seem, it brings your desire that much nearer fulfillment. Brick by brick, a city is built. "Believe that Ye receive." Feel that you are getting - not only that you are going to get - but that you ARE getting. Right now, this minute, you are getting. Feel it - believe it - act it - live it - and WHATEVER you want IS YOURS 1

KNOWLEDGE

You have received knowledge. Knowledge of itself is of little

value. It is of no benefit if you do not use it. Use it and it turns to gold. Knowledge is the only thing that you can give away and increase your store thereby.

In teaching others, you gain greater understanding. Then, give the knowledge to others; get them interested in Mayan Revelations. Tell them what it has done and is doing for you. Tell them about The Mayans. That is one way of showing your appreciation. "Go Ye into all the world and preach the message to the whole creation."

A sacred burden is this life ye bear.

Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly, Stand up and walk beneath it steadfastly; Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin, But onward, upward, till the goal ye win."

-- Frances Anne Kemble

A man stood at a fork of a trail through the jungle. This man had but strength enough to complete his journey. There were two paths before him but he did not know which to take. One led to his destination; the other into the wilderness, but he did not know which was his path. Night was coming, with its blackness, and the invisible, silent, swift dangers of this wild country. His terror kept him from making a decision. It kept him from acting wisely. He just stood, while his remaining strength oozed away. Darkness came, and they found him in the morning destroyed by the terrors of the night.

The terror of this man will not be your terror. Your future will be largely of your own making. You will have charted your course. You know what you want. You will not stop at the crossroads. You know which road to choose, and YOU, for whom these words are written, will complete the journey. You will not hang back, for YOU know that is the way to sure destruction of your Major Aims.

"And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." -- Luke 9:62

Your future is in your hands. The only law of Universal Mind is the Law of Fulfillment. This principle is yours. To live, to succeed, to win out, to overcome all obstacles has been its everyday action since The Father said, "Let there be Light". It doesn't work any less now than it ever did. You have but to supply the desire, then work in harmony with Revelation principles, to get anything that you need.

If this principle is so powerful that it can supply the giraffe with his long neck; the lower forms of life with protective coloring, a sting, a poison or a shell to meet the need of protecting themselves, how much· more can it do for you? You are a reasoning, higher being with the ability to think, with a-Mind that is the reflection of Universal Mind, a Mind able to work with the Revelation Principle and with the spirit and energy and ambition to urge it on!

MENTAL MUSCLES

The Mind is like a muscle in the sense that if you use it, it grows, or develops. Mental Muscles. You know that if you take up some strenuous form of exercise, at first you will tire easily - you can't do much, and what you do, you do unskillfully. But - if you desire to do it, you keep on. Then the Revelation Principle, based on Desire and Action, begins to work. In a few days the Mind has sent extra rations to the soldiers in that sector of your battlefield. The muscles have gained strength; they are ready to meet their new need. You begin to develop skill!

Have you performed hard work with your hands? I mean hard, rough work.

What happened? Did your hands wear off? No. First of all, the old General, the Mind, got word of the unusual activity in the hands' sector. What did he do? He sent some extra regiments of combative fluid there on the "double-quick". They quickly erected blisters and made the skin tender. They called a halt to the hard work that was hurting your hands long enough for the soldier-cells to repair the damage. Only this time they built stronger than ever The skin on your hands was toughened. Insensitive callouses were formed to protect the sensitive nerve ends that you had hurt, so that now you could do the same hard work without pain.

All through your life - every day - you will find this Revelation Principle working. Use it - accept it - work with it and there is nothing you cannot dol The very fact that you have obstacles to overcome is in your favor The more you ask of this Principle, the more you use it, the more it will work for you! The less you call upon it, the harder it is to rouse, for when it is unused the Revelation Principle seems to go to sleep.

THAT WHICH IS CALLED LUCK

Is there anyone in your circle of acquaintances whom people speak of as "lucky" - someone for whom everything seems to turn out all right; the kind of fellow who stubs his toe and finds he has tripped over a purse filled with money? Well, the Revelation Principal looks like luck to those who don't know the secret, but it is different in one important way. Luck changes.

Those who need luck the least usually have the most of it. A racetrack tout, "down on his luck," had positive information that a certain horse was a "ringer" and sure to win." He bet his last dollar, his car, even his clothes. His horse was ahead of the rail, when suddenly, a board that had warped from rain, cracked, broke, and flew out into the horse's path. The horse, going at great speed, ran into the long, spear-like point of the broken rail and was killed instantly. The Luck idea is fine when it's smiling at you, but don't depend on it. It will desert you when you most need it. The Revelation Principle is just the opposite. It sleeps when you don't need it, but let things go wrong and there is the Revelation Principle, working for you, almost before you call on it, if you will just give it the chance!

SUCCESS MADE SURE

That old General, the Mind, gives you a feeling of Power that makes success sure when you know that the invincible Revelation Principle is back of you in every act. Know that within you, a part of you, backing you up, is a Power that has never failed in anything to which it was applied properly. Go ahead - know that it will not fail you either.

The Principle that is responsible for the evolution of You and every living thing in existence is not likely to stop working just when you have need of it. It is the supplier of new strength, "the second wind" of the athlete. It flows forth abundantly on the channel of the river of Unquestioning Faith. Believe that you can - and you CAN!

A "SUPERNATURAL" DEMONSTRATION THAT "POWER" WITHIN YOU

We had a flood in our town one summer and many frightened people were caught unaware and were drowned. One of the unsung heroes of the catastrophe was an old man. Living in a section of the town that saw the worst of the havoc, he, alone and unaided, saved five people. While stronger men stood afraid in safety on a high bank, he made trip after trip down in the lee of a huge concrete bridge that was threatening to sweep away any instant. Again and again he went down in the mad blackness of the debris of a house swirled up by the sucking waters, and each time he staggered back up the slippery bank with a human form in his arms.

On his last trip it was necessary for him to go into the water, lift the collapsed roof of the whole house and pullout the mother of the family. He brought her up to safety just as the huge bridge cracked up and was swept away. Then, he collapsed. Being a frail, sickly old man, he normally could hardly carry a half-grown child across the level floor of a room. From whence came this superhuman strength? Why did the bridge hold until all were rescued? If he were strong enough to do what strong men could not - and do it five times under such harrowing conditions - why did he collapse when his deed was done?

THAT "POWER" WITHIN YOU

The Revelation Principle, that power within You, enables you, in moments of great stress or excitement, to accomplish deeds that others can describe only by calling them superhuman. They are not superhuman. They are merely beyond your normal capacity. They are merely beyond the capacity of which you are conscious. In moments of stress, you forget about that - you forget about fear and reason - you do what must be done, in blind faith. And, whether you know it or not, you are using the Revelation Principle. It works equally as well whether you are using it to restore health or to restore strength or to bring happiness or wealth, or any other good, desirable thing. The man who invented the phrase, "I don't know my own strength", spoke a greater Truth than he realized.
