PLENTY OF ALL THINGS--THE LAW OF PROSPERITY.
This is the Spirit of Infinite Plenty, the Power that has brought, that
is continually bringing, all things into expression in material form.
He who lives in the realization of his oneness with this Infinite Power
becomes a magnet to attract to himself a continual supply of whatsoever
things he desires.
If one hold himself in the thought of poverty, he will be poor, and the
chances are that he will remain in poverty. If he hold himself,
whatever present conditions may be, continually in the thought of
prosperity, he sets into operation forces that will sooner or later
bring him into prosperous conditions. The law of attraction works
unceasingly throughout the universe, and the one great and never
changing fact in connection with it is, as we have found, that like
attracts like. If we are one with this Infinite Power, this source of
all things, then in the degree that we live in the realization of this
oneness, in that degree do we actualize in ourselves a power that will
bring to us an abundance of all things that it is desirable for us to
have. In this way we come into possession of a power whereby we can
actualize at all times those conditions that we desire.
As all truth exists _now_, and awaits simply our perception of it, so
all things necessary for present needs exist _now_, and await simply
the power in us to appropriate them. God holds all things in His
hands. His constant word is, My child, acknowledge me in all your
ways, and in the degree that you do this, in the degree that you live
this, then what is mine is yours. Jehovah-jireh,--the Lord will
provide. "He giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not." He
giveth liberally to all men who put themselves in the right attitude to
receive from Him. He forces no good things upon any one.
The old and somewhat prevalent idea of godliness and poverty has
absolutely no basis for its existence, and the sooner we get away from
it the better. It had its birth in the same way that the idea of
asceticism came into existence, when the idea prevailed that there was
necessarily a warfare between the flesh and the spirit. It had its
origin therefore in the minds of those who had a distorted, a one-sided
view of life. True godliness is in a sense the same as true wisdom.
