Spiritual growth is the gradual, I would say, transition from a God of tradition to a God of experience.

You  will rise believing that you are  a free agent, not realizing that every action and event of the day is predetermined by your concept of self as you fell asleep. Your only freedom, then, is your freedom of reaction. You are free to choose how you feel and react to the day's drama, but the drama – the actions, events and circumstances of the day – have already been determined.

Everyone is free to create his world as he wants it if he knows that the whole thing is responding to him.

Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor.

Watch your assumption with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life. Assumptions have the power of objective realisation. Every event in the visible world is the result of an assumption or idea in the unseen world.

The assumption of the wish fulfilled is the ship that carries you over the unknown seas to the fulfillment of your dream. The assumption is everything; realisation is subconscious and effortless.

Self-surrender is essential, and by that is meant the confession of personal impotence.

Look upon your desires as the spoken words of God and every word of prophecy of that which you are capable of being. Do not question whether you are worthy or unworthy to realise these desires. Accept them as they come to you. Give thanks for them as though they were gifts. Feel happy and grateful for having received such wonderful gifts. Then go your way in peace.

To feel a thing intensely, and then rest confidently that it is, makes the thing felt appear within your world.

Stand upon your tower and watch to see what God will say and how you will answer. Do this by assuming you are the person you want to be and seeing what you would see if your assumption was real.

Don't be anxious or concerned as to results. Results will follow just as surely as day follows night. Have faith in this planting until the evidence is manifest to you that it is so. Your confidence in this procedure will pay great rewards. You wait but a little while in the consciousness of the thing desired; then suddenly, and when you least expect it, the thing felt becomes your expression.

This experience has convinced me that man can be anything he pleases if he will make the conception habitual and think from the end. It has also shown me that I can no longer excuse myself by placing the blame on the world of external things—that my good and my evil have no dependency except from myself—that it depends on the state from which I view the world how things present themselves.

The feeling of the wish fulfilled, if assumed and sustained, must objectify the state that would have created it. This law explains why 'Faith is the substance of things not hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' and why 'He calleth things that are not seen as though they were and things that were not seen became seen.' Assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled and continue feeling that it is fulfilled until that which you feel objectifies itself.

By persisting in the assumption that you already are the person you want to be, you rise above all doubt, fear and belief in the power of outside conditions or circumstances; and your world inevitably conforms to your assumption.

You never draw out of the deep of yourself that which you want; you always draw that which you are, and you are that which you feel yourself to be as well as that which you feel as true of others.

everything depends upon our attitude towards ourselves. That which we will not affirm as true of ourselves cannot develop in our life.

quietly where you are and assume the mental attitude of listening; recall your friend's voice; with this familiar voice established in your consciousness, imagine that you are actually hearing his voice and that he is telling you that he is or has that which you wanted him to be or to have.
