i. The New Revelation 9

9. Wealth 7s

Chapter One

HE search of the race today is to discover the undiscovered states within the self; the new field of conquest is the conquest of the individual, and through this conquest to find new and fertile fields of power outside of the self.

The olden mystics wrote: "Get wisdom, but with all thy getting get understanding," and the New Age is to be one replete with full fledged understanding; "Back to the source" is the slogan of the New Age, and men know at last that within their own mind there lies, only half revealed, the true center of wisdom.

The new revelation shows that life is success or failure, happiness or despair, peace or strife, not by external surroundings, but through consciousness, either constructively or destructively posited.

The past, with its scientific, philosophical, and religious fundamentals, built a civilization which became the picture in form of these fundamentals; by these, the race has lived and ordered its whole existence; but in this modern rise of race intelligence, many old fundamentals have been outgrown, while the vast majority of them are being shredded to fragments by the increasing intellectuality and spirituality of the race mind. Mankind as a unit is demanding a larger vision and a truer idea of life.

Mankind will keep for its use all that is best and holiest in all civilizations, but it will not fear to thrust aside half truths to grasp the whole, nor to reject that which is not fit material with which to build the structure of its new world.

THE NEW REVELATION u

The men and women of the olden world were human men and women, and a civilization arose to fit these states of consciousness. The race had expression only in the physical and mental sides of mind; man lived and phrased and objectified himself from the levels of consciousness with which he was familiar.

The new race is human still, living in a human world, obeying the laws of physical and mental being, but it has risen into the transcendental states of its own consciousness, speaking with a new tongue, a new language, manipulating its common human life with the laws of a superhuman understanding; living, clothing, feeding, and evoluting itself and others not alone through physical and mental knowledge, but from the higher states within which produce Revelators, Prophets, and modern Mystics.

The New Age will not reform man, it will unfold him and change him through this unfoldment. The new race consciousness is not based upon reform but upon change from the center.

The new race consciousness working from within, outwardly, will gradually displace the old ideas and old conditions. A new civilization must arise, not through strife, but through the finer law of mystical displacement.

In the new race consciousness men will not fight for their fundamentals or die for them, they will live with them ever alive in their minds, while with word, song, pen and brush, they sink them into the old race mind, until from the man with the hoe, to the higher illumined mystic there will come a subtle inoculation of New Thought ideals.

Out from the old civilization, individuals will collect together, in higher thought and purpose, then through collective individuality new cities will arise, and from these cities, new states, so that at last the combined influence of these collective individualists will control, direct and shape the American civilization.

Gathering around this higher law of civilization the expressions of human life will be different. The New Race will hold in its hand "the Key to Health, Wealth and Love and Usefulness"; the key to anything in life is only the understanding of its finer laws.

The New Race will be well, it will have everything, not through any metaphysical, mysterious, hidden method, but through sane, sensible, human laws, brought about and operated through the transcendental power of man's own mind.

The First Fundamental from which higher perfection will rise is the one of the Atomic Mind of Substance or Universal Intelligence. Man at last sees himself a nucleus of Mind surrounded with Mind. He sees every form of life as simply levels of mind made visible in form. Every manifested thing, even man himself, becomes a part of the one Universal

Intelligence, everything seen or unseen, is simply a Kingdom in the larger Kingdom. There is nothing in life but spirit mind and spirit form; or intelligence, force and substance.

The mineral, vegetable, animal and human Kingdoms are as one great whole, each invested with the intelligence and form of its own Kingdom. The form of each is but a robe or material through which the centralized consciousness passes on and on to increasing levels of Universal mind.

Man is man, and not a mineral, nor an animal nor a vegetable; he has passed through these levels, and his consciousness is posited at a more inclusive level. He has thrown around himself atoms with intelligence attuned to the form of human consciousness.

Man looks at himself today in a new light; he finds that he is a composite body of intelligence drawn from the kingdoms through which he has evolved, and has within himself the exact polar opposite of everything that is without himself. He is the microcosm in the macrocosm.

He left the mineral only when its very highest law had been fulfilled and he took with him its master cells as the nucleus for his manifestation in higher form. He stands then, Lord of the mineral, for all the wisdom of the mineral consciousness is within his own body. He is the plus cell of this Kingdom.

He left the vegetable kingdom when the same law had been accomplished, then in the animal kingdom he passed through this same law of inclusion, and stood out in the level called Man the super cell of all Kingdoms through which his consciousness had evolved. He stands now, Lord of the mineral, Lord of the vegetable, Lord of the animal, while to this he adds the intelligence of the human level. He thus has formed a nucleus of power, making him Lord of all the lower kingdoms of consciousness, he becomes the grand man of the Universe, or a master mind working in power through, and with, all levels of the Universal mind.

Standing in this world of God Intelligence — (Himself a god) Man is the master mind in the world of mind, it is for him to command, every external thing must obey because he is positive in his consciousness to the atomic mind of substance, either singly or collectively.

The Mystic has written, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He them." And again, "He shall eat of any deadly thing and it shall not hurt him." Why? Because the master cell of every Kingdom within himself, linked with his own human consciousness, becomes positive to the kingdom outside of himself; then linking his mind with higher intensity of Divine Mind, he can speak through his own consciousness as one having authority.

He turns to every Kingdom then, and his own master mind dictates what response he will give to this kingdom. He can, in truth, "Drink of any deadly thing and it will not hurt him"; he can stand in the center of the lions' den and he is their master — they must lie down. Out into the very mind of infinite ether, he can say to the waves and the winds "Peace, be still," and they will obey.

Man, as he becomes more and more familiar with the atomic mind, grows more cosmic in his own consciousness; he masters the laws of his own body and environment by simply intellectualizing and spiritualizing the intelligence of his own cells; by extending his mind to the atomic mind of the cells of his body, he regenerates, rebuilds his own flesh just as an architect can tear down an old structure and following a new idea, build a new and beautiful architectural design, just so, man can tear down his old body or environment which he has built through the mechanism of destructive states of consciousness and can fashion for himself a new flesh, a new environment, or both; and pass himself from a diseased body of flesh and a poverty-stricken environment into a body of health, grace and beauty, with surroundings of comfort and peace.

Each individual has within himself the nucleus of master cells which he derived from the Kingdoms through which he has evolved: His own mind, linked with these cells, brings him into at-one-ment within his own being making the divine wireless, and through this union into at-one-ment with all that is in the Universe. Then by intensifying the consciousness of his cells through the power of his own mind, he creates or destroys form at will.

Chapter Two

SCIENCE has at last succeeded in teaching the minds of men that *3 all substance consists of atoms of finer and finer vibratory rates of motion and that these Absolute atoms become localized centers in space, attracting other atoms, which, in time, become localized in form, thus giving us embodied universal substance. Man, as we know him today, is the highest form of localized universal intelligence on this plane, a center of atomic intelligence. He is a specialized attracting vortex, and through his own understanding he may become a manipulator of all life's forces; he may create his own atmospheric environment and control and direct whatever he desires into objective expression.

His thoughts become the tools with which he reaches out into formless, universal intelligence and fashions from his own atmospheric environment the things he desires.

If an individual does not know his own natural relationship with this universal substance, and is unable to recognize the Truth of his own power of personal creation, he separates himself from power and his life becomes the expression of the lesser things which he has fashioned for himself.

When he can be taught to recognize his oneness and go into the Universal Energy with the thought tools necessary to create, he sets this energy into action for himself. Energy set into action must become embodied; and since under this law it can embody only in man and his environment, the energy stimulated into activity registers upon himself and his physical world.

For those who know and understand this law, the Universal Intelligence has become a great reservoir or storehouse of formless substance from which the finite mind of man may create the things he desires; this substance is always waiting to be acted upon; man is the actor; his thoughts are the instruments with which he reaches out into its Atomic mind, and he creates through recognition the things which he holds in his mind.

No one gives to him but himself; no one takes away from him but himself; the infinite reservoir is always open; "Before you call, I answer; Ye have not chosen me, I have chosen you," is the promise of the ages.

Standing in the very heart of the Infinite, man has within himself the power to wave the magic wand of mystery. It is for him to command; he is the highest expression of consciousness on the earth plane; the formless, infinite intelligence must obey him; he stands on a pinnacle of supreme authority while the very silence around him whispers, "What is thy will?"

Jesus the Christ man taught us this sublime law. He talked with wind and waves as men would speak with men. He said: "Peace, be still/ 1 and they obeyed Him.

In this Universal Intelligence, there are four great levels of creation and all humanity desires to draw from these. If you could this moment hand a magic wand to every civilized human being on this planet and say to them, "Wave this, it will create for you from any level of your desire/ ' there are just four desires which would take instantaneous form and these four great basic desires are Health, Wealth, Love and Usefulness.

No matter how we look at human longing, or study its material expression for attainment, we come back again and again for this truth; every hope, every emotion, every desire of the human mind, heart or body has its roots in one or the other, or all of these things; take any one away and life ceases to be perfect. Health, Wealth, Love and Usefulness, these may be called the square of all human purpose and desire.

There are three different attitudes which humanity takes toward this quaternary and the masters of the past said, "Know Ye not to whom Ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants Ye are"; and again, they said, "With what measure you mete it shall be meted unto you." The Universe is a mirror in which man sees reflected before him the vision of himself. His body, environment, friends, situations, all become the picture of his own conscious or unconscious projections.

There are those who recognize lack and have a continuous thought relationship with everything which makes for a limited supply of substance; this attitude gives them poverty-stricken environments and bodies. They have no idea of the psychological law of recognition. They know nothing but lack; they have a thought world of lack and have never known that they could say, "Let there be light," over their own manifested world.

Close to these, and only a little more emancipated is another great class; living about equally between lack and supply, they have placed themselves under the law of demand and supply. They build thoughts of abundance today and tomorrow spoil it by their thought relationship with lack. They have a degree of recognition of supply, but they have at the same time an equally active recognition of poverty. They want abundance to manifest for them, but at the same time they are unconsciously creating, through recognition, the conditions which must, by their very nature, divorce them from the things they desire. Some of this class really do not believe that they may have what they want, and I have heard them say, "I know I shall always have enough to keep me"; or again, they say, "I never expect to have many people to love me; if I have a few friends I am content"; and again, "I never expect to be real well, but if I can only have enough health to take care of myself, it is all I will ask," They are bound hand and foot by this idea of demand and supply. It has never dawned upon their minds that they are limiting themselves; they know they can have, to a degree, what they want, but they are careful to keep their wants inside the line of what they consider possible for them to secure. They have never dared to take their whole souPs desire and fling it out into the Universal Abundance of Supply, and to recognize its absolute fulfillment.

The third class, and by far the smallest number, have, through experience and observation, learned a great Universal Truth, that, if we want a perfect expression of abundance of supply on all planes, we must build a perfect recognition of these things into the great Cosmic Intelligence, and hold our life persistently one with this deeper law.

We get and keep and express for ourselves, in body and environment, whatever we have the power to create for ourselves in consciousness; supply is only a condition of mind. Recognition of abundance today, and lack tomorrow; perfection in one breath and imperfection the next; fear and anxiety, joy and sorrow; all these things will manifest for us in just the proportion in which we vitalize them.

Our recognition is our Creator, which fashions for us in the intelligence of our atmospheric environment the things with which we relate; and it is nobody's fault but our own if we do not like the finished production. We could just as easily have connected with every good and perfect thing had we known how to direct our creation intelligently.

Every life has a right to desire, and to have and to hold this quaternary for itself; no one says "No" to us but ourselves; The All Will wants us to have everything that we want, and will help us to secure it and aid us to keep it. The Universal Intelligence is no respecter of persons; and if we have lack while others have supply, there is nothing the matter with the Cosmic Consciousness, but there is something materially wrong with our comprehension of it.

Every human being on this planet is born heir to the best that the world can give, and when he knows enough not to accept less than his innermost desires, he can think his way straight into the center of Absolute opulence. "All that my Father hath is mine," the Master said, and he who knows, and who knowing, "never once forgets the pedigree divine of his own soul" can wrest from the universe without effort or price the substance which he needs in the building of his own perfected selfhood.

CHAPTER THREE fE want health and must have it, because without it we cannot become perfect physical creatures and control and direct the changing conditions of our physical plane. We cannot drag diseased bodies with us on our journey through life and accomplish the great work of Him who sent us. The body must be free from pain and able to function normally on its own plane or we fail in the first step on life's pathway.

A sound body is the first requisite of a sound mind, and the first step on the path for the initiate is to conquer disease and weariness of the flesh. We must see God in the flesh before we can find Him in all the changing expressions of life around us.

Health is the first step in the quaternary; we may wait for recognition of Wealth, Love and Usefulness, but Health we must have, or we lag along the journey of life and defeat the purpose of our existence.

Health results from the operation of health laws. In order to have health, an individual must induce a health consciousness that extends through every particle of his flesh; this is accomplished through concentration, idealized imaging, and physical control, through increased mental power with sensible attention to physical needs. The body can be completely changed through these methods. The change can be brought about slowly or quickly, according to the individual's own efficiency.

Today we know that there are great Cosmic currents which make for Health, just as there are currents that make for heat, light and electricity, and that when we can touch these currents they rush through us, vitalizing and

3 o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE

sustaining us, rebuilding our physical cells and producing for us new, healthy tissues. These currents of Health are capable of being attracted and localized in our bodies through our own deepening understanding.

There are within our bodies two great centers for the localization of this Cosmic energy; one is the solar plexus center, and the other is the brain, with its accompanying thought force.

Disease is the result of the mixed currents of the conscious mind, registering for a prolonged period diverse and negative thought force. Health is the production of the higher Positive energy registering in the body a force that makes for strength and vitality.

When one has taught himself how to control his conscious mind and to declare just what form of the Universal force he will register, he soon passes his life into an expression of wholeness.

The individual who has perfect equalization between the positive and negative forces of his own being has health. Health and disease have no relation to each other; they are both the products of natural laws, and each belongs to the consciousness that produces them.

The first lesson to learn, in order to destroy the disease body, is to inhibit all negative thought. In some cases this cannot be accomplished without physical assistance; some individuals are forced to complement the change in ideas with a complete change of surroundings and friends. Friends and families, more often than any other things, tend to keep the mind in the old thought ruts. There is little hope of regenerating a physical body when the mind is allowed to drag on day after day in the old suggestions and ideas which it has built for itself and accepted from others.

The mind must first be tranquilized and taught to retain health concepts and then gradually bring these concepts into a perfect vision of health, and in time, join all the ideas into one perfect vision of health, then hold this constantly in the field of consciousness.

The real secret of health is revealed by awakening the understanding of the individual so that he recognizes and relates himself with the great Creative energy of the universe; he first learns to know from whence he receives his power, and then how to relate his physical body with it through his own mind and thoughts; his thoughts then become his Creator, and they create for him in flesh just the things he commands them to create.

The idea centers of the individual are the active agents of regeneration. Ideas have definite centers in the cortex of the brain, and all physical expression is brought about by this chain of cortex centers.

All mental states are registered in the flesh; grief, fear, worry, despair, anger, hate, resistance, anxiety, condemnation are all negative, destructive ideas. They weaken the idea centers of the brain, and when these states are persisted in they communicate themselves to the flesh until a complementary body of inharmony is established, which continues as long as the states of mind remain. To antidote this, the individual must raise his ideation and in this process he brings about a new cell registration.

In diseased minds the ideas necessary to create new physical conditions, or for the restraint of abnormal conditions, which are already created, are weak — sometimes even absent. Two ideas cannot occupy the mind at the same time, and the negative, unhealthy, abnormal ideas must slowly be crowded out and replaced by positive, constructive ones. It takes more than a few incoherent thoughts of health to crowd out the old negative ideas. Health will only come to the flesh when one has become able to build for himself a health consciousness, and a health consciousness is built through thoughts of love, peace, joy, nonresistance and tranquillity.

The full regeneration of the body is brought about through the daily renewal of the mind, and the secret of this renewal is through a contact between the life cells of the body and the individual's consciousness. The switchboard where contact is made is in the idea centers of the physical brain. Here energy is generated and sent out and the patient's effort is to get his "Idea switchboard' ' under control. He does this by beginning to centralize his thoughts and intensify his idea centers, thus sending strong, decisive currents through his flesh.

In the ordinary diseased individual the idea centers of his own mind are in wild disconnection and strife, while body, emotion and mind are in a state of separation. The idea centers and the body centers are driven on in a wild explosion of electrical energy which only over-stimulates and then paralyzes through over-stimulation, but does not completely destroy, while it defies the positive regenerative processes. Through concentration and control of his own ideas, the cells of his body can be subjected to normal changes.

When the idea centers and the vital life centers are in accord, the disease cells are electrocuted through the electric currents of the individual's own mind, and the life cells of his flesh build a new body to fit his new state of consciousness.

Chapter Four

^/^ll^HEN we have taught ourselves to llAw^If/ reco g n * ze nothing but the strong, positive currents and ideas, and have decided that we will register only the force that makes us well, we come into a condition of thinking where the mind generates a vitalizing energy which reconstructs the whole physical body.

That health is a part of the Universal life, and exists to be used, just as do light and heat, is a truth that will, in time, be recognized by the many. But it does not yet admit to scientific proof sufficient to be brought to the minds of all men. With our present limited metaphysical knowledge, we can no more prove nor fully explain how healing is accomplished, through conscious thought-connection with the healing currents from the battery of life, than we can prove how the electric currents run along the line, nor how the blade of grass grows, nor how the red creeps over the robin's breast. But healing does come and abide with those who learn the power of this Cosmic union, through their own mind becoming a conscious center, and it hangs its signals of health on the bodyin signs too plain to be misunderstood.

We should never be sick, never could be sick, unless we had sometime, somewhere in thought, recognized inharmony in the Absolute, and then allowed this negative energy to persist for us until it registered in our form.

We first allow the recognition of disease to get possession of our minds, and then we hold fast to a fixed idea of disease until it manifests for us.

Sometimes we are born into disease and open our eyes in pain and suffering, because, somewhere, in our soul's orbit we recognized the laws of inharmony which could embody only as imperfect physical conditions. When we are born into an inheritance of disease we can be sure that our lines of life have related with those who have behind them, somewhere, stamped into the Cosmic pattern a long line of perverted thinking and thought recognition of disease. Nothing happens; everything is by natural law, and behind every deformed hunchback, or diseased body, there stands the Nemesis of the negative energy which it has created somewhere and forgotten; but the Cosmic proof is indelible, and to the end of the chapter that body carries out the registration. "We come the reaper of the things we sow," and interior thought-force must — and will — in time manifest corresponding external conditions.

We connect with this life current, or we lose our connection, by the power of our minds; first, through will, then through faith and at last through consciousness. Our physical bodies are at the mercy of our thoughts; they must register the energy with which we connect and vitalize into activity; and if we see sickness instead of health, limitation instead of freedom, we drag negative energy into our beings and lift it into expression in our bodies and our environment.

Chapter Five

HE ordinary individual seeking health comes to us with a false position toward the things of his personal life, which attitude puts him out of harmony with Life's finer relations. He has built himself away from the center, and is busy living under the conflicting laws of the external plane. The laws of this plane are change and decay, and at last, overwhelmed by an expression he does not understand and cannot conquer without understanding, he grows discouraged and exalts it into a position of power over him.

Disease can never manifest for one who consciously fills his mind with the recognition of the Universal All Health and the creative power of his own thinking; he who sees nothing but all health interiorly and then passes his seeing into his external world and teaches himself to look, with wide open eyes, into the face of disease, seeing behind it and around it and in it, the perfect God-image of wholeness, will become free from any disease with which he is related; and if he is in health, he will forever abide in the expression.

When w r e can displace the fixed idea of disease, both in the Absolute and the apparent, with the fixed idea of health, we have established our relation with the latter, and it cannot refuse to manifest for us.

When we teach ourselves to believe in health in greater persistence than we ever believed in disease, we polarize our lives in at-one-ment with infinite consciousness and we pass through life in a grand master position, whose every expression is one of perfect health, perpetual opulence and divine realization.

After we have seen the Truth of the Absolute law of health we must then incorporate this Truth into every act of our daily lives. It is not enough to believe this, but it must be actualized, for the law of life is certain, and as soon as one has born into his consciousness a perfect ideal, he must actualize it or he loses it. The penalty, most certain and sure, is that, a realization, not actualized, leaves us and degenerates our power of action just that much more; our first step after realization of this All Health Truth is to pour it through every avenue of our daily living.

There are many who do not know that the little things of life are disease-producers, and that by the recognition we give them, we become related to the negative energy they represent.

It is not often that things within our own beings disturb us into inharmony; it is the way those inner things of ours are met by those around , us, and the amount of self-expression our environment allows. This continual warfare, which is called existence, wears out the life that has not learned its psychological connections, and attempts to go on, unconscious of its finer relationships.
