FAITH, SOUL, WILL, DESIRE and SPIRIT

---

The Revelation Principle makes no distinction between rich and poor - it doesn't differentiate between those of high station or the humble. It only asks that your Desire be true and intense - that your Faith be real and unwavering and that your Will be expressed in Action.

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for." in other words, Faith is of the Soul. Will and Desire are of the Spirit, as Will and Desire are the means of the expression of Energy. Mind is in, over and above these. For Mind is the directing manifestation of God within us. It directs these others. As in the Beginning, when "God said", and created by saying; so does our Mind obey our directions and create for us.

We hear loose phrases such as "a deranged mind". There never was a deranged mind, and never will be. A deranged brain, yes - but not a deranged mind - ever. There are destructive egos as well as constructive egos. This comes from the department of our being where resides our immortal character, which in turn is a department of the Soul. We make our Character by the thoughts and actions we permit to become habits. Good or bad, we make it, and must abide by the result. What we store in our department of Character again flows forth to color all Being.

Let us review this statement immediately in different words:

No thinking person, observing all that he can of visible creation and sensing all that he can of invisible creation, can doubt the existence of a Supreme Intelligence, The Creator, Our Father. If such an Intelligence exists at all (as who can doubt) then that Intelligence that governs everything from the tiniest atom to the millions of suns in the known Universe, must be Universal. The same God who keeps this marvelous and intricate old structure, the Earth, in its course, must also control Mars and Jupiter and Saturn and all else. If this be so, then God is Universal; then - God is All - All, means Completeness. All means a Oneness. All!

That is the Mayan Understanding of God. His Emblem, to the ancient Wise Ones of all races, was the Sun. It was chosen simply because it was the mightiest visible symbol; because the sun's light was so terrific that no man could gaze upon him very long and ever see the things of this world again.

It was only when the original teachings ~misinterpreted that the Sun, itself, was worshipped.

The Toltecs, Incas, Aztecs, the Hindus, the Chinese, the Egyptians, the Hebrews, and the Greeks of ancient times all fell into this error; but there is no evidence that the Ancient Mayans ever considered the Sun other than a living energy, and a visible emblem of The Supreme One.

As Mind IS the manifestation of God the Universal, then Mind is Universal.

As Mind is in us, so God is in us. And as God is Universal, therefore, we are in God - we are an infinitely small PART OF GOD. Do you begin to see now, why Man can do things that seem superhuman? They are not "supernatural", - they are the natural manifestation of the Power of The Father within us.

A READY SERVANT

It doesn't matter whether you are a Day Laborer, or a Millionaire, a Banker, or a Butcher, or a Baker, a Business Man, a Lawyer, a Doctor, or a Clerk. The Revelation Principle, when properly applied, makes no distinction. The greater your need, the more instantly it responds to your call. Wherever there is poverty, or hardship, or sickness or despair - there is this Servant of your Mind, ready and willing to help, asking only that you call upon him.

Thoughts and Feelings:
The Art of Cognitive Stress Intervention

In the 23rd Chapter of Matthew, the eleventh verse, we find this statement:

"But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant." This is also translated - "But that which is greatest within you, shall be your servant." Mind, the manifestation of Universal God, is that which is greatest within you. It has served you - let it serve you ~. - for that is its Action according to the Law.

The resources of this Servant are beyond limit. It is ready, willing and able to help. It has ingenuity beyond belief. It is Mind. Its action is Thought. It is the telepathy that carries influence without the spoken or written word. It is the strange sense that warns you of impending danger - that tells you what is good and what is evil. No matter how gigantic or complicated your problem may be - the solution of it is somewhere in Mind, in Thought.

The solution does exist, and since it does, Mind can find it for you. Whatever it is necessary for you to know, whatever it is necessary for you to do - you can know and you can do, if you will just use this part of God Within You - and the Revelation Principle is the way.

Mind is the product of Spirit impressed on Substance - the product of Energy impressed upon Soul. Mind is the only ethereal part of us of which we are really directly conscious. This page was once blank substance. The ink imprinted upon it can be likened to the action of Spirit impressed on it. The result is something that can be seen - that follows a definite design - that transmits this thought to you.

It will assist your thought processes if you will perform this experiment: Place some iron filings on a piece of paper. In your mind, the filings are to represent Substance or Soul. Now place a magnet beneath the paper. The magnetic force represents Spirit. You will see the force of the magnet (Spirit) affect the filings (Soul). Definite lines are formed and the appearance of the filings is entirely changed. The tiny particles unite and express a unity of their own. This unity is to represent consciousness (Mind).

The so-called lines of force expressed by the iron filings, are not the force itself. It is only the lines along which· the force operates - the pattern of the impress. In the same way, your physical being, your brain, your nerves, etc., are not the force itself. This part of you is merely the carrier of the force, the Mind. And just as the magnetic lines of force arrange the filings and unify it - so does your Mind arrange the atoms of your Being into a definite pattern.

ENTERING A MENTAL AGE

Whether you realize it or not - we, the inhabitants of this Earth, are just entering a new age. It is a Mental Age - where mind counts and is recognized as more valuable than muscle - where the intangible, invisible processes of Mind are accepted as more worthwhile, more real than the visible work of muscle. The time is coming when man will be his own master, when poverty and lack will no longer hold sway. This is just as sure as we are sure that slavery and the Stone Age are things of the past among enlightened people.

The person who does not realize the resources of Mind will think that these sound like rash statements. Know then, that science proves beyond question that in the realm of the deeper mind, called the Sub-conscious Mind, are abilities even now unsuspected. Every man possesses a mind that is at least dual in its works. Psychology usually refers to it as the Conscious Mind and the Sub-conscious Mind. This is slightly misleading, as these terms, while usually spoken as though of separate minds, are really one mind and refer to its dual manifestation.

AN IMPORI'ANT FURTHER TRUTH

A further truth, suspected by science but not actually accepted, although long known to metaphysicians, is that there is actually One Mind in all the Universe. Just as your brain is made up of countless millions of cells - so is your Mind like a single cell in the vast extent of God's Mind or Universal Mind. Only in this way can we arrive at a reasonable basis for such feats of mind as Telepathy, Clairvoyance, etc.

LOOKING INTO AN ATOM

Man's mind has dissected the Atom and found it to be made up of mostly empty space. Looking into the interior of an Atom is somewhat like looking up into the arch of the heavens above us. Flying through this vast "emptiness" within the tiny Atom, are infinitesimal specks of pure energy which have been named Electrons, Protons and Neutrons. They are, in relation to the Atom in which they exist, much like the Stars of Heaven are to the Universe. And they move through the space within the Atom much as the Stars move through the skies, in fixed relationship to each other. If it were possible for you to see clearly within the Atom, you would see a sight that could only remind you of a view of the sky on a clear night, with its stars and its meteors, etc. "As above, SO below", said the ancient scientists. All things are reflections of each other. There is One God - There is One Mind - There is One Soul - There is One Principle. God is All. All is God. All we have that is ours is our Being, and our consciousness. And the reflections of these things are in it. We are a veritable part of God.

Within your physical body are countless billions of cells. Within you now the law of' Change is working. Millions of cells are "dying" within you as you read these lines - they are being used up. Other millions are being "born". You feel that these cells have no "personality" of their own. Perhaps, they in turn are like miniature Universes. These cells within you live by the benefit of your organization. The substance of which they are made was found within you. The material that feeds them and gives them what they need, they find within you. Are you their "Heavenly" Father? Does the reflection of God in You continue beyond the understanding of man? If these cells that make up "You" have a consciousness of selfhood, what is their conception of you?

THE NATURE OF MATERIAL THINGS

I told you a moment ago that science has "dissected" the Atom, and found it to be mostly a vast emptiness. The only solid found within it is solid energy. Whirling vortexes and "bullets" of nothing but energy. Now we know that all material things are made up of atoms.

If an Atom is made up of a Universe of nothingness, specked with a few plunging spots of energy, then what is material? You are perhaps sitting in a chair as you read these lines, or perchance lying on a couch. It seems very material, doesn't it? Yet - it, too, is made up of these Atoms of "nothingness". "Nothingness" seems very unreal, doesn't it? You begin to perceive, then, the unreality of the real.

A diamond is composed of carbon. So is a lump of sugar, or a lump of coal. The only difference between them, science tells us, is the arrangement of the Atoms composing them. And that is also the only physical difference in material living things. Yes, there is life in the diamond, the sugar, and the coal, just as there is in the rose bush that grows in your garden, just as there is in You.

Smash the diamond, dissolve the sugar, burn the coal - does the life that was in them go out of existence? No! It merely leaves the form it was in. The Law of Change operates, that is all. You cannot destroy life. You merely destroyed the material form that the life was in.

WHY "THOUGHTS ARE THINGS"

Suppose I were to hand you a piece of paper and ask you to write on it a beautiful thought. Now I ask you to light a match, ignite the paper, burn every last bit of it - until it is all consumed. Now, is the beautiful thought you wrote destroyed? Is it gone? Or does it still exist? Is it still a thought? Is it not as beautiful as before? All you destroyed was the physical paper holding the symbols, the written words that embodied that thought. The beautiful thought that You created will exist in your mind long after the recording machine of your brain is "crumbled in dust away".

You created something when you conceived the beautiful thought. Whatever is created in the department of the Mind - exists forever. Good or Wrong - it is immortal.

THE WEALTH OF YOUR MIND

Bring to your consciousness and understanding the undiscovered energy, wisdom and ability of Mind - and you gain an astounding, a miraculous wealth - a wealth greater than ten world wars could destroy. Riches - riches of Your Mind - worth a hundred oil wells

or a thousand gold mines.

Realize this - the only difference between you and the savage races still on earth today is the difference in mental development. From the war canoe of ten thousand years ago to the gigantic luxury liners of today is only a step in the development of Mind as reflected in Man. From the troglodyte man living in slimy holes in the ground, to cliff dwellers, to tremendous and wonderful modern cities built by man today, is only another step in Mind development. From the medicine man and his strange ceremonies to the modern physician and his magical drugs is only a short step. The time is at hand when the healing power of Mind is being directed to overcome many physical ills.

MIND DEVELOPMENT

Man, because of his superior mind, learned to make fire to keep himself warm, and weapons with which to defend himself, and dwelling places to protect himself from the elements. He has come a long way since "The Fall" described in Genesis - but all this is as nothing. Man is on the edge of things undreamed of. He is at the threshold of new understanding - new understanding of the miraculous functioning of Mind, and the science of applying its tremendous power to overcome the problems of life and to attain those things that are essential to happiness and economic progress.

Mind is the power by which every good is brought into life - but it does not automatically work in that direction. It is a God-given instrument, which every man can develop and use according to his own wish and will. A limited stage of development can be attained by simple exposure to other minds, a stage of development that has little to offer beyond hand-to-mouth living. Advanced development is attained only by conscious efforts toward development with proper understanding of and consideration for the principles and methods involved.

Mind development is a process by which positive and creative thought is fed to the Sub-conscious Mind through the Conscious Mind. Without proper control, the Mind is much like a delicate machine being fed improper fuel - its operation is discordant and its power is dissipated, developing only a small part of life's abundances of which it is capable. With proper thought control, the Mind becomes a powerful force that can lay low every barrier to social and economic progress. It can bring wealth, prestige, peace of mind and better health.

THE GREATEST WASTE OF ALL YOU JOIN THE DOERS

Man has unlimited mental power - yet he uses only a small part of it. Science has proved that the average man uses only about 2% of his mental power - 98% of his power, his ability for greater attainment, a reckless waste. We worry about our diminishing oil and

coal supply or dwindling forests and other resources. It is true that stern competition and sinful carelessness have resulted in overwhelming

waste in these fields. But, you seldom hear a word about the greatest waste of all - the waste of the most valuable resources we possess - our Mind Power. The potential resources of Mind are beyond estimating. With God's power within them, people are content to continue plodding through existence - eating - sleeping working - an existence little more eventful than an animal's; while all of Life

- all the world - all the Universe calls them to AWAKEN and to bestir themselves.

The POWER To Be

The power to be what you want to be, to get whatever you desire, to accomplish whatever you are striving for - is the Power of God within YOU. It rests with YOU to bring it forth and put it to work. You are now ready to receive the first of the deeper Revelations of this - Power of God Within YOU.

YOU JOIN THE DOERS

All the world over - Thinkers, Scholars, Psychologists and Metaphysicians agree on this - Mind is All that counts, for Mind is the manifestation of God. Mind is in, on and about every part of your Being. You need not be ill. You need not be in want. You need not be unsuccessful. You need not be poor. You are not just flesh and bone. You are not doomed to spend all your days in a round of labor, just to be able to get food and a place to sleep. You are a part of God - made in His image. You have unlimited possibilities. Within you is the Power. Direct it properly and it will lift you out of the rut of barely existing, and place you among the leaders in the race of man. The big business men, the great lawyers and doctors, the famous statesmen, the inventors, are no different from you - except that they, in some way, accidentally or otherwise, ran onto some part of the same laws that are now laid before you fully developed, ready-made, worked out for you, in the REVELATION PRINCIPLE. The only difference between them and you as you have been. is that they are DOERS!

If you have desired success in the past and have not been an outstanding success, it is because you have not been a purposeful Thinker - A Doer. When you took the first action that eventually led you to this point, you joined the Doers. Continue in this Path and you can start thinking purposefully and be successful and happy, too. It rests with you - you alone are the one to decide. Learn to USE this Power- which is yours to use - this Power of Mind - this Power of God.

Copy this Poem of Berton Braley's - you will enjoy "Things As They Are" - Geo. Doran Company, New York.

"If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it,

Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it, If only desire of it

Makes you mad enough never to tire of it,

Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it If life seems all empty and useless without it

And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you'll sweat for it,

Fret for it, plan for it,

Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you'll simply go after that thing that you want, With all your capacity, strength and sagacity, Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold, poverty, famished and gaunt,

Nor sickness nor pain, of body or brain

Can turn you away from the thing that you want, If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,

YOU'LL GET IT"
