DISCUSSION AREAS

 YOUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!  “My thought is in control of my experience, and I can direct my thinking”.  This is a very bold declaration of truth with obvious far reaching and profound implications to the potential of an individual’s experience of life.  Accordingly, it deserves an open consideration and thorough investigation of its truthfulness and a fair trial in its application in our lives to arrive at a personal experience for ourselves as to whether or not it is so.  At this point in our consideration, no belief, agreement, or acceptance of this concept is necessary for a later realization of it as a universal truth.  All that is necessary is an open mind and a desire to explore the arguments supporting it and an observation whether or not it works for you after you have given it a fair trial.
IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE “Only when we have made the appropriate intellectual inquiries and investigations for ourselves can we honestly decide whether to accept or reject that which is presented to us.  If you are going to give your attention to a new way of thinking, it will have to be something that makes sense and that you can apply in your everyday affairs, because you know it works!”
SOMETHING FOR YOU “If you can find something which, for you, satisfies the deep inner hunger that lies in the hearts of all people (whether they ever acknowledge that hunger or not), you are just as eager as anyone else to find satisfaction.  This is true of all persons.  You are no exception.  The ability to control my experiences and have them result in happiness, health, prosperity and success lies in my own mind and my use of it.”
HOW CAN THIS BE SO?  “Physical Science has proved that everything can be scientifically reduced to one ultimate invisible Essence, something which can not be contacted by the physical senses.  It is therefore only reasonable to say that originally everything must have come from that Essence.  …let us call It Mind.  …Scientists show us that Energy-an aspect of Mind- is interchangeable with Substance, and is everywhere: within us, around us, filling all space to the limitless reaches of the universe.  Everything we can see, touch, taste, smell or contact in any physical way,  we are told, is but some aspect of this Universal Energy or Mind, which has been channeled into specific and tangible form so that our senses become aware of It.  …Universal Mind, though always basically the same, appears in many different forms.”
MIND IS EVERYWHERE “Einstein’s famous equation, E=mc2, …means that energy and mass are one and the same, and are interchangeable.  …this means that Mind-God- acting as Energy, becomes what we know as the physical world, according to law.  They are one and the same thing (although God, being infinite, could never be depleted by what is created).  We may reasonably declare that everything which will ever exist must come from God.  In fact there is nothing else out of which anything could be made.  …now we know that this Universal Mind is everywhere…therefore It is within us!  There can be no exception to that everywhereness.  …allows us to understand that not only our individual minds, but our bodies as well, are expressions and part of Mind.
HOW YOU CAN UTILIZE THIS NEW AWARENESS “At the beginning of this world system of ours, there must have been nothing but the great Universal Mind-God- and out of Itself the tangible universe was formed.  …God-Universal Mind- is omnipresent and that we too were made in His image and likeness…that we, at our level, possess creativity similar to that of Universal Mind.  We create in our experience whatever we choose:  health, happiness, prosperity, employment-any good thing we need-through the process of our constructive thought, through which the unlimited creativity of Mind acts, giving form to our desired objective.  The only way for us to constructively use the creativity of this invisible but everywhere-present Mind is by means of our thought, faith and conviction-and nothing else!”
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO CREATE “Since we are created of that which God is-Mind-we are made of and possess Godlike qualities, and we have the right and the ability to develop and use them.  In fact it is necessary for us to do this if we are to fully express the Life within us.  … What you choose is created for you out of and through the action of the One Universal Mind, which is everywhere and is accessible to you.  You avail yourself of the Creative Action of Mind through what you believe!”
HOW CAN YOU LEARN TO BELIEVE?  “…you can think whatever you please.  …If your thinking processes are really under your control…and if thought is acted upon by the creativity of Mind to produce results according to your belief, then you surely do have the power to become the master of your own affairs and to bring to pass those conditions you desire.  This make the omnipresence of God and the made in the image and likeness of God very practical and important ideas rather than abstract theological concepts.  They can now become important truths which are part of your everyday life and are therefore of prime importance in all the practical aspects of living.  …the right and the ability and the power to “think creatively” so that you have more desirable experiences-is so impressive and so exceedingly important that it should be the basis of your life.  …you can begin to put it into actual application for yourself.  You can start right now to make it work!”
HE CHANGED HIS LIFE “There is but One Mind:  It is all there is.  Everything visible and invisible is but a manifestation of this One Mind-the result of Its Creative Action and the becoming of that which It creates.  Because you are made in the image and likeness of God, you can use your mind, according to its nature, and by choice bring your good to you.
A PICTURE OF YOUR MIND   Please refer to the attached diagram “and think of it as representing the entire universe-all that is.  All of it is Mind.  For the sake of clarity we divide it into three sections, but it is all Mind!  Part I, Conscious Mind is that faculty with which you think and plan; with it you become aware of ideas, analyze, make decisions and carry on all mental processes.  Part II, Law is the aspect of Mind that obeys the directions of Part I.  Part III, Physical World is the only part of the universe you can experience-see, touch or contact with your physical senses.  It is the realm of tangible things and conditions.  Here are the results of what was directed by Part I and carried out by Part II.  Parts I and II instigate and carry out; Part III is the result, or effect.  …the tiny portion marked “You” …too…possess the three aspects of Mind: direction, creation, result.  Remember:
1.    Everything is Mind and you are therefore part of it.
2.    Mind responds and produces according to your believing thought
3.    You have the right and power to think what you want to think; so, you may create good conditions for yourself and others.
4.    Therefore, you control your own good and may transform your life into an experience of happiness, health and prosperity.”
