discoverer claims that there is but one force in
all nature,--that of vibration; that all space is pervaded by matter,
which is energy. Certainly the world is on the eve of new revelations,
and life is to be lifted up, even here and now, to the Divine plane.
Perhaps the most practical counsel in the way of determining one's own
future control of these telepathic conditions is conveyed in the words:
"Begin now the eternal life of trustful consecration and sanctified
service, consciously drawing your innermost life from God."
This absolute personal control of each man over his own future lies in a
twofold power: the one being that integrity, moral purpose, aspirations,
have a creative power of the most potent character; and the other being
in that one attracts to himself the spiritual companionship and
sympathetic co-operation of just such quality as his own. There is an
objection, often made to the faith in the companionship and communion
with those in the Unseen,--that only those of a lower order in the life
beyond death are attracted into the sphere of this world. Nothing could
be more remote from the truth. One might as well refuse all social
intercourse with those in this world, on the plea that if he have
companionship at all it would be of a lower order, and therefore he will
have none. Now the order of one's companions and associates depends on
himself. If he is noble and exalted, he does not attract nor is he
attracted to the base and the unworthy: and only more deeply and
unfailingly does this law hold true in the realm of spirit. One attracts
to himself from the unseen world companionship of the same order and
quality as that of his own spirit, with the exception that in proportion
to the purity of his aspiration does this quality of companionship come
to him of a still higher order than his own. Thus one creates his own
world. He need not abjectly feel that he must accept sorrow, trial,
defeat, and disaster at the moment, because compensation somewhere
awaits him. The law of transmutation supersedes the law of compensation.
One may bring to bear, at the moment, the potent force that transforms
all: that changes dullness into radiance, trial into joy, depression
into exaltation. And how? Simply by bringing to bear on the events and
conditions of the hour the intense and creative potency of spiritual
power. By means of this we shall certainly gain those "new glimpses of a
profounder scheme of cosmic law" to w
