There is nothing that appears in perception which cannot be duplicated in fancy, and what the world perceives is all imaginative in character. Here is a graphic example: I am sure everyone knows what it is to detect the fragrance of a rose. Now smell is a chemical sense and depends upon contact for perception. But does one really need a rose to detect its fragrance? Cannot its fragrance be reproduced imaginatively?

The Old Testament calls upon God to awake, saying: "Rouse thyself! Why sleepest thou, O Lord? Awake! Do not cast us off forever! Having hurled Himself into time/space, God is dreaming he is man and sees Himself as enslaved and cast off."

Tonight's subject is: "Have you found him?" In this question I am asking if you have found the source, the cause of the phenomena of life. I can tell you from experience that he is a person as I am, as you are. Called "the Father", he is the one of whom I speak tonight.

"All are men in eternity. Rivers, mountains, cities, villages, all are human, and when you enter into their bosoms, you walk in heavens and earths; just as in your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth, and all that you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in Your Imagination of which this World of Mortality is but a Shadow."

God, Divine Mind, is the everlasting creator of my being and all being. My creator lives within me and endows me with new life each day and always. This creative mind is constantly bringing new forms, new ideas, new inspirations to replace old ones. The life-force of the infinite in me, never stands still, waits, lingers, nor even pauses. I know I live in a universe of everlasting right action, movement, change, and perpetual progress.

The Christian world claims to believe in Christ, but they do not know him for he must be found. This challenge is given in scripture. "Examine yourselves to make sure you are holding to the faith. Test yourselves!" If you want to find Jesus Christ you must test yourself!

Words of truth written or spoken from a consciousness of the absolute reality of the substance in them, do more than satisfy the intellect or the senses. They are God's means of bringing to pass the very good about which they are uttered. Therefore, ponder these words in your heart. They will uncover the rich mentality, with which God has endowed you and opened the way to your perpetual prosperity.

While considering scripture, always bear in mind that it is a story of salvation and not secular history, that the characters - from Adam to Jesus - are states of consciousness. The first five books of the Bible are called the Torah, or the Law, with Abraham as the symbol of the beginning of civilization.

Fourfold vision is to single vision as ordinary sight is to blindness. We all experience single and threefold vision. It's twofold and fourfold vision that one must consciously work to achieve.

Thought is the greatest power known to man. Out of the past we created the present. And out of the present our thought is creating the future. We become what we habitually think. Think lfe! And you will be filled with new vitality and power. For there is a guiding, producing intelligence that responds to every definite demand made upon it. Think poor thoughts and you become poor. Think great thoughts and you become great. What you are thinking now is conditioning the days ahead.

Tonight is a bit of a riddle, but you listen carefully, for it's very, very important. It is "The Morning Star", a promise made to man. "He who conquers...I will give him the morning star." (Revelation 2:26, 28 RSV1 ) Then, in a realization of this promise, he identifies himself as the morning star. He says, "I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star". (Revelation 22:16) The Bible ends on this note, in the last chapter of the book of Revelation.

Tonight's topic is: "The Most Precious Gift". If God who created the Universe and all within it gave it to you, and with the whole vast universe owned by you, you would consider that the greatest gift in the world. And, yet, he gave you something far greater than that. He gave you himself! God actually became as you are, that you may be as he is.

Entering this world of death, you brought all you have (or can have) with you. You are like a garden, already planted and sowed, for this world is too poor to produce one seed. Although William Blake was called a madman, he knew this great truth, and said: "The human imagination is the eternal body of the Lord Jesus." I tell you: The Lord Jesus is your own wonderful human imagination, who became as you are that you may become as he is.

All cause is spiritual! Although a natural cause seems to be, it is a delusion of the vanishing memory. Unable to remember the moment a state was imagined, when it takes form and is seen by the outer eye its harvest is not recognized, and therefore denied.

If you find yourself miserable or helpless here, may I tell you that you are not condemned to that state by a deity outside of yourself, for everything that takes place in your world is but a movement within God. We are told that in the very beginning the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters and things came into being. Everything - your misery, your helplessness, your joy, your sorrow - no matter what it is, comes into being by a movement within God, and he is not a deity outside yourself.

God is known by experience or not at all. I have experienced God. I can no more deny it than I can the humblest evidence of my senses, so I feel qualified to tell you how you are going to experience God. There is only God in the world. When you say, "I am," that's God forever and forever.

This is not a how-to book per se, yet it tells you how to do so many things! Hiring and firing, for instance; reading people; identifying nonproducers; cutting expenses; knowing what your customers need; and, most of all, growing your business. It doesn't tell you how to start a business, yet listening to it will make doing that so much easier. It doesn't tell you how to run one, but even if you've been a COO for 30 years, you'll find new wisdom in it.

In Photography Composition, you will find all you need to know to learn the basics of composition. It will teach you the proper terms and ways to apply rules that you might already know instinctively yet not quite understand why they work the way they do.
