INTRODUCTION
You
and Your Life
"Oh, good
master, how do I become great?' the student inquired of his teacher.
"By keeping
eternally at it," the venerable sage replied, thus putting the
responsibility for the student's life exactly where it belonged—with
the
student himself, the one who asked the ques-tion.
So it is with every
one of us. No one can live for us. Whatever happens to us must happen
through
us. The success, power, happiness, health, riches or fame which we
strive for
are produced from our inner thoughts, feelings and attitudes. The
potential of
all things exists within us—the gift of life itself. It is up to each
of us to
give form and direction to this potential.
Every person has
within himself the power to form the design of his own experience. When
we
realize this we have dominion over our world. Control, power, and
dominion are
not achieved by our striving. They are the result of inner
discipline,
honesty, peace and follow-through.
"All things
proceed from the quiet mind," says an ancient proverb.
"He who
conquers a city is great; he who conquers himself is mighty," is a bit
of
timeless wisdom from the East.
In "Julius
Caesar" Shakespeare admonishes:
"The fault, dear
Brutus, lies not in our stars
But in ourselves that
we are underlings."
We are not allowed
the doubtful privilege of blaming others for our failures and
shortcomings. Nor
can we depend upon others to do for us that which we must do for
ourselves. So
face life. Live it. Develop the power within you and put it to work
projecting
the image of who you are and who you want to be. Get quiet inside,
conquer the
noisesome little self, assume responsibility for your own
discipline and
growth, establish honesty, firmness and integ-rity, and all power
will be
yours.
"To
thine own self be true
And it must
follow as the night the day
Thou canst
not then be false
To any man."
(Shakespeare,
"Hamlet")
The desire to live
properly and a determination to follow through are essential
prerequisites as
you follow the steps to power.
"How do I
attain wisdom?" the student inquired of his teacher.
The sage turned away
without answering.
"Please tell me
how to be wise," begged the student.
The master silently
walked away.
"I must have
wisdom. Show me the way."
Arriving at the bank
of the river, the teacher walked out into the water with the student in
full
pursuit.
"Wisdom, oh
great one. Show me how to become wise."
Suddenly the master
turned, grabbed the student's neck and held his head under water,
keeping it
there while the struggles became feebler and feebler. When the student
has almost
stopped striving, the teacher brought him gasping to the surface.
"When you were
struggling beneath the surface, what did you want more than
anything else in
the world?" the master demanded.
"Air-air-!"
"Of course. And
so it is with wisdom. When you desire it more than anything else—as
much as you
wanted air when you were drowning—then you will find it. But don't
expect
anyone else to tell you how to become wise. No one can do that, any
more than
they can breathe for you."
And so it is with the
development of personal power—the inner power that leads to the rich,
full life
where there is a balance of happiness, health, prosperity, freedom, and
creative expression. We must be willing to perfect the inner
causes which will
make the outer results possible
These are the tools
to start with . . .
1. Faith in a Higher
Power
2. Confidence in
Yourself
3. Lively Interest
in Everything and Everybody
4. Mastery of One
Field of Endeavor
5. Dedication to
Ideal and Purpose
"You
Are the Power"
Do things happen
when you get going? Are your plans working out? Are you able to get
your work
done on schedule? Do you have a feeling of accomplishment? Are you
getting somewhere
in life?
Right now is the
time for personal inventory. Do your answers to the above questions
show that
you are living up to your full potential, or do they indicate a
breakdown in
the power circuits? The power is within you. In fact, YOU ARE THE
POWER, The
power doesn't have to be created, generated or injected into you from
outside There
is no limit to the power available to you, because you are one with all
the
power there is. This is the secret of the agest—the pearl of
great price. Start from here. Condition your mind to accept the
conviction of
invincible power. Follow this procedure:
1. Know that you are
one with all the power there is.
2. Learn how to
contact this power within you.
3. Learn how to
cooperate with this power.
4.
Learn how to use this power wisely.
5. Keep the power
flowing.
Nothing is
impossible to the person who lives by these principles. Life is energy.
Everything is an expression of life-energy. We can either use it
constructively
or destructively. The power works both ways. It is up to us to decide
how we
are going to use it. When you use your personal power constructively,
you will
be in proper relationship to God, life, yourself, other people,
your work.
This relationship will produce an abundance of all good things in your
life—happiness,
health, prosperity, harmony and freedom. But when you use your
personal power
destructively, you are separated from healthy relationships, and are
therefore
shut off from the natural rewards of constructive living.
Now, no one
deliberately sets out to destroy himself. No one knowingly turns his
power to
destructive uses. No one dissipates his life's energy on purpose. All
of these
things happen because we don't understand ourselves and the great
natural laws under which we live. Therefore, mostly by omission
rather than
commission, we use our power against ourselves rather than to
accomplish what
we are here to do.
This book helps to
remedy this situation by showing you how to know yourself—on the five
major
levels of consciousness and experience: Spiritual, Mental, Emotional,
Physical,
Material, and to put to use the five keys for manifestation in your
life:
Organize, Visualize, Energize, Realize, Actualize—These are Your
Ten Steps to
Personal Power.
