If you judge after appearances, you will continue to be enslaved by the evidence of your senses.

Where knowledge ends... feeling and imagination begin.

Learn to shake yourself loose from what the world believes is the only reality.

Be careful of your moods and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.

Become aware of what you are thinking and you will recognize a law between your mood and your surrounding circumstances.

I AM (your true self) is not interested in man’s opinion. All its interest lies in your conviction of yourself. What do you say of the I AM within you? Can you answer and say, “I AM Christ”? Your answer or degree of understanding will determine the place you will occupy in life. Do you say or believe yourself to be a man of a certain family, race, nation, etc.? Do you honestly believe this of yourself? Then life, your true self, will cause these conceptions to appear in your world and you will live with them as though they are real.

You cannot persist in wanting what you already have. If you assume you are what you desire to be to the point of ecstasy, you no longer want it. Your imaginal act is as much a creative act as a physical one wherein man halts, shrinks and is blessed, for as man creates his own likeness, so does your imaginal act transform itself into the likeness of your assumption. If, however, you do not reach the point of satisfaction, repeat the action over and over again until you feel as though you touched it and virtue went out of you.
