of thought, daily sent out into Creative Creative Mind and Success 69 Mind, will do wonders. Within a year the person who will practice this will have completely changed his conditions of life. The way to practice this is daily to spend some time in thinking and in mentally seeing just what is wanted; see the thing just as it is wished and then affirm that this is now done.

Try to feel that what has been stated is the truth. Words and affirmations simply give shape to thought; they are not creative. Feeling is creative and the more feeling that is put into the word the greater power it will have over conditions.

In doing this we think of the condi- tion only as an effect, something that follows what we think. It cannot help following our thought. This is the way that all creation comes into expression. It is a great help to realize mentally that at all times a great stream of thought and power is operating through us; it is constantly going out into Mind, where it is taken up and acted upon.

Our business is to keep that stream of thought just where we want it to be: to be ready at any time to act when the impulse comes for action. Our action must never be negative, it must always be affirmative, for we are dealing with something that cannot fail.

We may fail to realize, but the power in itself is Infinite and cannot fail. We are setting in motion in the Absolute a stream of thought that will never cease until it accomplishes its pur- pose. Try to feel this, be filled with a great joy as you feel that it is given to you to use this great and only power.

Keep the thought clear and never worry about the way that things seem to be going. Let go of all outer conditions 70 Creative Mind and Success when working in Mind, for there is where things are made; there creation is going on, and it is now making something for us.

This must be believed as never believed before; it must be known as the great reality; it must be felt as the only Presence. There is no other way to obtain. Though all the Infinite may want to give, yet we must take, and, as far as we are concerned, that taking is mental.

Though people may laugh at this, even that does not matter, “He laughs best who laughs last.” We know in “What we believe,” and that will be sufficient. ENLARGING Our THOUGHT. E can never stand still in our thought. Either we will be growing or else we will be going back.

As we can attract to ourselves only what we first have a mental likeness of, it follows that if we wish to attract larger things we must provide larger thoughts. This enlarging of consciousness is so necessary that too much cannot be said about it.

Most people get only a short way and then stop: they cannot seem to get beyond a certain point; they can do so much and no more. Why is it that a person in business does just about so much each year? We see people in all walks of life, getting so far, never going beyond a certain point.
