Thought is the creative power, or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act; thinking in a Certain Way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck–the failure to connect thought with personal action.

Man must cast out of himself everything which separates him from God. He must will to live the divine life, and he must rise above all moral temptations; he must forsake every course of action that is not in accord with his highest ideals.

Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude.

You still indulge in distrustful fears that things will go wrong, or that people will betray you, or mistreat you; get above all of them.

You are already one with God; you want to become consciously aware of it.

This must be your point of view: that the world and all it contains is perfect, though not completed.

First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance, from which all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire. And third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude.
