In this extremely hard to find sequel to her popular Our Invisible Supply: How to Obtain, Frances Larimer Warner expands on many of the principles previously explained and delves into some of the deepest issues of life. In the author's own words.... "THE first volume of this little book, made up of some letters to students of the Principle lying back of all demonstrations, was so kindly received and has brought me so many letters of sincere appreciation that I am led, after two more years of deeper research and earnest study into the Cause of all expression, to offer the result of these efforts in like form, for the benefit of those seekers after Truth who may be led to find herein some crumbs of comfort, and a WAY to draw from the unseen realm the All of good that belongs to us as sons and heirs of the Spirit of Creation. As the first volume gives clearly and concisely the exact first principles of demonstration that are not repeated here, it will be advisable to read or study that book first so that anything in this that may seem abstruse may be made clear. I will introduce here a comment on the first volume from a leading magazine (Eternal Progress), so that the readers may have their opinion of the book before purchasing. "We cannot conceive how anyone could remain in poverty and misfortune after reading this book and faithfully applying its principles. It certainly tells you HOW, and its methods are so simple that anyone can apply them. The book is well written and is as interesting as the best of fiction." The above is only one of many such comments; others write me that "the book is the most helpful of all New Thought books published." I trust that this volume may be even more helpful in lifting the burden of a race belief of lack from the shoulders of every reader of its contents. I will add that the contents of both volumes are substantial copies of actual letters written to students whose hearts hunger for freedom—that freedom which can only come through knowledge of the Truth—has perhaps given vitality to these letters, since the student's desires touched a sympathetic chord in the writer, causing them to become her own as well. In this book I have, however, permitted the letters be to so far revised as to admit of their appearing as chapters instead of letters, by the omission or change of the few words which were purely personal—to the end that the message. might become even more personal to each the other recipients to whom it goes. --Frances
Larimer Warner.

Mind substance will enable us to
accomplish any conceivable result. Chapter
25 CHAPTER 1
Constitutes Man's "Dominion." FOR what
nation is there so great, who hath God
so nigh unto them, as the Lord (Law) our God is in all things that we
call upon
him for? —Deut. 4:7 I AM going to make a special
effort this morning to help you
to realize the Truth or Reality of your being, so try to get the full
meaning
of what 1 am going to say. Understanding of anything
makes us master,
and so Solomon urged upon us the great necessity of acquiring "wisdom,"
knowing that it meant freedom from the awful bondage to which
ignorance has
held us captive. In the first place, we must
boldly break away from the old
traditional idea of a Supreme Being that is separate from man
and to
whom we must make supplication for that which the New Testament tells
us
belongs to us, as the very dwelling place of the Most High. Now lend me your close
attention. If you or your body were
resolved into original substance it would take you back, back to
what? An
undivided Oneness with your source and the source of
everything else;
and that means your oneness with all the wealth of all the mines of
gold,
silver, diamonds and every other form of wealth of which we know. Well,
if this
is true of even the body, it has always been true of that which
expresses the
body, and of that SELF that
has
never known any separation from all that is, for IT is the Substance
of all that is, was, or ever can
be. Truth so long "crushed to
earth" is rising again
at last to lift us from the belief that we, owners of all that
is, can
in reality be "in debt" or in want of any good thing. We must go
beyond the surface of things to get at the truth of our being. You
would not
say of your coat that it was in debt. Well, the body and the evolving-mind is nothing more than the clothing of
Spirit. He clothes the grass of the field.* You never saw
grass, only
the clothing of the grass, and you never saw yourself, only as you
caught in a
glass the gleam of intelligence that shines through the eye; and just as there is the perfect
tenant within each and every body, just so surely is there the perfect
environment of that perfect you, which will show forth through the material form and environment. It is
perfect
because true to the Law of its being. *See Luke 7:28 And what is that Law?
OBEDIENCE, OBEDIENCE. I will be with
you as ye have spoken.* This is infallible. *See Amos 5:14 How are we to show forth
perfection in body and
environ-ment? Here is one good way: He "inhabitest the praises of
Israel."* Praise will coax this same life (because One Life) in the
child
or animal to do anything for us. Well, it is just the same One Life
that
we are directing when we praise It for being our great wealth,
beautiful
harmonious surround-ings, and all Good that we can possibly desire.
Remember
the nature of desire—that it is the first touch, as
Cady says, of
the thing itself. *Psalms 22:3 To further prove the Law of
obedience, the steam that
wrecks the train is the same good old steam that carries the train in
safety,
only the ignorance of someone using it is at fault. Steam
itself is
obedient to the manipulator of it and can only act as directed. Take
exactly
the same attitude toward the Power within and direct It where
you desire
It to manifest, only, unlike steam, the Power within is great enough to
hold
worlds in space, and you wield this Power every time you think. Do not direct It to hold you in
debt any longer, but think,
rather, I am free, and rest assured It will act as
your freedom.
You thus become not only free yourself, but you will also aid in
freeing
everyone else from a belief of debt; for the great reservoir of
sub-mind of
which you are a part, or rather with which you are one, carries
in
ever-widening circles the truth you voice to all who are receptive to
truth. This explains "none of us
liveth to himself," because Mind is one. It also
explains this saying,
"Whosoever sins
[mistakes] ye remit, they are remitted unto them, and whosoever sins
[mistakes]
ye retain, they are retained."* So speaking the Truth out into this sea
of
mentality liberates not only you, but all who are seeking Truth. Think
how
ridiculous it is to suppose that the Presence that is wealth
could be
"in debt," and you are this Presence, for this Presence "Fills
all space," we are told. So you are just a focal point of ITS conscious
Self, and when you can cease to separate yourself from all
that is and come
into the powerful vibrations of the WHOLE then you will get the benefit
of
WHOLENESS or
hol-i-ness. *John 20:23 We have made the symbol of
wealth our God, and
cringed and trembled before it, when in REALITY we are able to
command untold wealth. Say "I AM God,
beside me
there is none other." This is just what Jesus told us to do. "I and
my Father (Mind) are ONE."
"He that hath seen ME hath
seen the Father," and many other of His sayings teach that God is LIFE or MIND, else how
could He say
"I am in the Father and the Father in me,"
"The Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works"? This is as
clear a statement as we need to indicate that He meant MIND. "As he thinketh
in his heart, so is he," also shows this to be true. So you
see it is
no sacrilege to claim as true what Jesus Himself taught and
reiterated
to help us to get away from the idea that He or we are anything
separate from
the WHOLE. If we submerge a barrel in the
ocean the water contained in
the barrel is still ocean water, is it not? So just because LIFE is
confined in
a body it is no less LIFE. By looking upon ourselves as
separate we have "cut the
wire" leading to the Dynamo, so our life flutters for a very brief
time,
then goes out; but the connection with LIFE is just a process
in mind, no clumsy wires to
adjust to connect
us with the dynamo of LIFE but
just to KNOW, I AM LIFE ITSELF and so I will
express
whatever I desire by my thinking, for as I think, that
will I be and have, because my that is the escape
for ALL that
Is. So you see, my friend, that You, the SELF, cannot possibly lack
for any good thing, but it
is your right to
demand and command your very own. I have tried to impress by repetition
the one
central truth in this letter. Even Jesus found it necessary to
reiterate, as
the false teaching had, and still has, such a deep hold upon
consciousness.
This letter, if carefully followed and its teach-ing applied, will lead
you
into the realm of freedom from all inharmony, as it is the "practice
of
the presence of God" that constitutes man's "Dominion." Order
