How to Make Narurge Responp to You T should be steadily borne in mind that there is an Intelligence and Power in all Nature and all space, which is always creative, and infinitely sensitive and responsive. The re- sponsiveness of its nature is two-fold: it is creative, and amenable to suggestion.
Once the human understanding grasps this all-im- portant fact, it realizes the simplicity with which the law of life supplies your every de- mand. All that is necessary is to realize that your mind is a center of Divine operation, and consequently contains that within itself which accepts suggestions, and expect all life to re- spond to your call.
Then you will find sug- gestions which tend to the fulfillment of your desire coming to you, not only from your fel- lowmen, but also from the flowers, the grass, the trees, and the rocks, which will enable you to fulfill your heart’s desire, if you act upon them in confidence on this physical plane. ‘‘Maith without works is dead,’’ but Faith with Works sets you absolutely free. 79 YOUR INVISIBLE POWER Farra With Worxs—Wuat It Has ACCOMPLISHED L: is said of Tyson, the great Australian mil- lionaire, that the suggestion to ‘‘make the desert land of Australia blossom as the rose’’ came to him from a modest little Australian violet while he was working as a bushman for something like three shillings a day.

He used to find these friendly little violets grow- ing in certain places in the woods, and some- thing in the flower touched something akin to itself in the mind of Tyson. He would sit on the side of his bunk at night and wonder how flowers and vegetable life could be given an opportunity to express themselves in the des- ert land of Australia.
Nodoubt he realized that it would take a long time to save enough money to put irrigating ditches in the desert lands, but his thought and feeling assured him it could be accomplished, and if it could be done, he could do it. If there was a power within himself which was able to capture the idea, then there must be a responsive power within the idea itself which could bring itself into a practical physical manifestation.
He reso- lutely put aside all questions as to the specific 80 YOUR INVISIBLE POWER ways and means which would be employed in bringing his desire into physical manifesta- tion, and simply kept his thought centered upon the idea of making fences and seeing flowers and grass where none existed at that time.

Since the responsiveness of Reproduc- tive Creative Power is not limited to any lo- eal condition of mind, his habitual meditation and mental picture set his ideas free to roam in an infinitude, and attract to themselves other ideas of a kindred nature.
Therefore, it was not necessary for Tyson to wait until he had saved from his three shillings a day enough money to irrigate the land, to see his ideas and desires fulfilled, for his ideas found other ideas in the financial world which were attuned in sympathy with themselves, and doors of finance were quickly opened.
All charitable institutions are maintained upon the principle of the responsiveness of life. If this were not true, no one would care to give, simply because another needed. The law of demand and supply, cause and effect, can never be broken.

Ideas attract to them- selves kindred ideas. Sometimes they come from a flower, a book, or out of the invisible. You are intent upon an idea not quite com- plete as to the ways and means of fulfillment, and behold along comes another idea, from no one can tell where, and finds friendly lodging with your idea; one idea attracting another, 81 YOUR INVISIBLE POWER and so on until your desires are physical facts.
