One Big Dream

Creativity is the common theme that drives both entrepreneurs and artists alike. But creative people are often also paradoxical.

4.Creative people alternate between imagination and fantasy, and a rooted sense of reality.

Perhaps you are living in a small home, apartment, or room, and are surrounded by unhealthy and vicious influences.

You desire a larger and more sanitary residence. Then you must fit yourself for such a residence by first of all making your home as far as possible a little paradise. Keep it spotlessly clean. Make it look as pretty and sweet as your limited means will allow. Prepare your plain food with all care, and arrange your humble table as tastefully as you possibly can.

If you cannot afford a carpet, let your rooms be carpeted with smiles and welcomes, fastened down with the nails of kind words, driven in with the hammer of patience. Such a carpet will not fade in the sun, and constant use will never wear it away.

By so appreciating your present surroundings you will rise above them, and above the need of them, and at the right time you will pass on into the better house and surroundings which have all along been waiting for you, and which you have fitted yourself to occupy.

Part I The Path to Prosperity

Build yourself up in knowledge, and make yourself worthy of better surroundings and wider opportunities. Be sure, first of all, that you are making the best of what you have.

Do not delude yourself into supposing that you can step into greater advantages whilst overlooking smaller ones, for if you could, the advantage would be impermanent and you would quickly fall back again in order to learn the lesson which you had neglected.

Before you can have that greater good which you so desire, must you faithfully employ that which you already possess.

Part I The Path to Prosperity

Perhaps you complain, you bewail your lot; you blame your birth, your parents, your employer, or the unjust Powers who have bestowed upon you so undeservedly poverty and hardship, and upon another affluence and ease.

Cease your complaining and fretting; none of these things which you blame are the cause of your poverty; the cause is within yourself, and where the cause is, there is the remedy.

The very fact that you are a complainer, shows that you deserve your lot; shows that you lack that faith which is the ground of all effort and progress.

There is no room for a complainer in a Universe of Law, and worry is soul-suicide. By your very attitude of mind you are strengthening the chains which bind you, and are drawing about you the darkness by which you are enveloped. Alter your outlook upon life, and your outward life will alter.

Part I The Path to Prosperity

You say you are chained by circumstances? You cry out for better opportunities, for a wider scope, for improved physical conditions, and perhaps you inwardly curse the fate that binds you...

It is for you that I write; it is to you that I speak. Listen, and let my words burn themselves into your heart, for that which I say to you is truth:

You may bring about that improved condition in your outward life which you desire, if you will unswervingly resolve to improve your inner life.

I know this pathway looks barren at its commencement (truth always does, it is only error and delusion which are at first inviting and fascinating,) but if you undertake to walk it; if you perseveringly discipline your mind, eradicating your weaknesses, and allowing your soul-forces and spiritual powers to unfold themselves, you will be astonished at the magical changes which will be brought about in your outward life.

As you proceed, golden opportunities will be strewn across your path, and the power and judgment to properly utilize them will spring up within you. Friends will come unbidden to you; sympathetic souls will be drawn to you like a magnet; and books and all outward aids that you require will come to you unsought.

Be patient under all circumstances.

Accept all conditions as necessary factors in your training.

Rise superior to all painful conditions.

Overcome them with an overcoming which is sure, and which leaves no fear of their return.

Work in harmony with the Law.

Identify with the Law.

The cause of all power, as of all weakness, is within;

The secret of all happiness, as of all misery, is likewise within.

There is no progress apart from unfoldment within, and no sure prosperity or peace except by orderly advancement in knowledge.

The Universal Law governs the realm of mind.

Hatred, anger, jealousy, envy, lust, covetousness - all these are fires which burn, and whoever even so much as touches them must suffer the torments of burning.

All these conditions of mind are the ignorant efforts of the soul to subvert The Law, and they lead to chaos and confusion within, and are sooner or later actualized in the outward circumstances as disease, failure, and misfortune, coupled with grief, pain, and despair.

Love, gentleness, good-will, purity - all these breathe peace upon the soul and, being in harmony with the Eternal Law, they become actualized in the form of health, peaceful surroundings, and undeviating success and good fortune.

A thorough understanding of this Great Law which permeates the Universe leads to the acquirement of that state of mind known as obedience.

To know that justice, harmony, and love are supreme in the Universe is likewise to know that all adverse and painful conditions are the result of our own disobedience to the Great Law.

Such knowledge leads to strength and power, and it is upon such knowledge alone that a true life and an success and happiness can be built.

See and realize that the world is a mirror in which you see a reflection of yourself.

Ascend, by firm and easy steps, to that plane of perception where you see and realize the Vision of the Law.

With this realization comes the knowledge that everything is in a ceaseless interaction of cause and effect.

Every condition of life is, therefore, bound up in an orderly and harmonious sequence, and the secret and cause of every condition is contained within itself.

This is The Law, and none can deny it, none can cheat it, none can escape it.
