HARMONIZES Resentment can create a chemical
reaction in the blood stream. We can not have war without hatred.
We should free our minds from all resentment, bitterness and hatred.
Divine Love within us will find an outlet through us. Divine Love
harmonizes our thought. God-in-us is Peace.

MASTERY OF FEAR -

Installment - Continued> "If
God be for us, who can be against us?" The thing you
fear does not exist.
For example, a man lives in fear that his business will fail. His
business is not failing; neither is he in bankruptcy. Business
is as usual, and it may be booming; the failure does not exist save in
his imagination. Job said, "What I fear most has come upon
me." Job is every man who walks the earth. Therefore,
as the successful business man continues to sustain the mood of
failure, sooner or later his mood crystallizes into a subjective
conviction or impression.
Any feeling impressed on the subconscious mind is made manifest by an
immutable law of life. The subconscious, being impersonal and no
respecter of persons, says, "John wants to fail in
business." So it proceeds in ways that he (John) knows not
of to bring this failure to pass. Everyone realizes that he
brought this failure on himself through imagination and feeling.
I knew a lady who read of an aeroplane wreck. She was
contemplating a trip by air to Los Angeles, but she lived in fear of
an accident. A negative thought cannot do you any harm, except
it is energized by a charge of fear. It must be emotionalized
before it becomes subjective. This lady did not know what she
was doing; she was ignorant of the laws of life. This ignorance
is the cause of all of our accidents and misfortunes. Having
imagined herself in an aeroplane accident, and having emotionalized
this negative thought with fear, it became a subjective state.
When she took the trip two months later, she had the accident that she
knew she would have.
If
a woman fears her husband is going to leave her, this is how she
conquers her moods. The fear is a negative feeling which is
communicated to him. If he does not know the laws of life, her
conviction of him will be made manifest. In other words, he will
do the thing she feared he would do, because this was her conviction
of him. Instead of this fear, she supplants it by seeing her
husband radiating peace, health, and happiness. In meditation
morning and night, she radiates the mood of love and peace, and feels
that her husband is the most wonderful man in all the world. She
feels that he is loving, kind, and devoted. She imagines he is
telling her how wonderful she is, and how happy, free, and balanced he
is. Her mood of fear is now changed to a mood of love and
peace. This is the Spirit of God moving in her behalf. As
she continues to do this, this mood jells within her. She now
knows, "He never faileth," and that "Perfect love
casteth out fear."
Our daily
prayer or daily mood must be one of joyous expectancy or a confident
expectancy of all good things; this is our greatest prayer. If
we expect the best, the best will come to us. It is our mood
that is vital.
The
modern metaphysician of today teaches that God is the life principle
within man. If you feel full of confidence and trust, this is
the movement of the Spirit of God within you, and It is all
powerful. "None shall stay its hand and say unto it, What
doest thou?" Man's own consciousness is God; there is no
other God. By consciousness is meant existence, life, and
awareness.
You, the reader, know that you exist. This knowing that you
exist is God. What you are aware of is your concept of
God. Each man must ask himself, "What am I aware
of?" The answer to this question is his belief about
God. It is what he knows about God. When he says, "I
am aware of want. I am fearful. I am sick," these are
lies and have no truth in them. When man says, "I am
fearful," he is saying God is full of fear which is
nonsensical. When he says, "I am in want," he is
relating a lie and a denial of God's abundance and infinite
supply. His faith is in failure, and he succeeds in being a
failure. He believes in a lie, but he cannot prove the
lie. The false condition seems real as long as he dwells upon
it. When he ceases to believe it, he is free and healed.
