of faith. It takes a great stretch of the imagination to believe that life can be made per-

fect, free from all unhappy experiences. Then

when you do believe it, it takes a great effort of will to keep on believing when all outward

appearances are against you.

“Judge not by appearances.” All miracles

are founded upon this idea. We can change

conditions only by not believing (or being un-

disturbed) by appearances. I said to a woman

who was in great distress, “None of these ap-

pearances fools you.” It gripped her conscious-

ness, and the Divine Plan of her good won out.

We can no longer have the faith of a peasant;

we must have an understanding of faith.

Through knowledge of spiritual law, we

control conditions. While talking to a student

who was confronted by a fi nancial problem,

I said, “Stand aside and let God do it.” She

All That the Fourth Dimension Affords Is Yours

replied, “That’s all there is to it,” and soon a new channel opened for her supply. Yes, that

is
all there is to it. Let God do it.

After all your reading and studying of

metaphysics and ancient philosophies, etc.,

you fi nd that they are teaching you just one

Eastern philosophy says, “Let the warrior

within you fi ght.” Countless times this idea

appears in all sacred writings. North Ameri-

can Indians believe that the Great Spirit is the source of their power. A woman who visited

the Indians told me she had interviewed an

Indian who had been running all day, carry-

ing a message. She asked him if he did not feel fatigued. He replied, “Me no tired; Big Spirit

in me runs.” Trusting God must become a

habit, and it often takes a long time to form

this habit.

THE MAG I C PATH OF INTU I T I ON

I was inspired by reading about Omaha,

the famous racehorse, in the paper. The article said, “Omaha has run a mile before he gets

into his stride.” I said at one of my meetings,

“There are a lot of Omahas in this room. You

have not yet got into your spiritual stride, but I see you all winning your race in the twinkling of an eye.” Often discontent keeps you

from getting into your stride. You are dissat-

isfied with yourself and conditions. You wish

you were someone else. How wonderful to be

a beautiful movie star, or an heiress of count-

less millions. On one of my trips to London, I

saw advertised the wonderful title of a song. It was called “I’m Tickled to Death I’m Me.”

The first start toward success is to be glad

you are yourself, and know that the ground

you are on is holy ground and that you ex-

pand into the Divine Plan of your life. In the

Divine Plan, every righteous desire of the
