being." This thought is energy, this thought is life, this thought is
power. The energy, life and power of this thought weaves all of my
diversified Life's experiences into a Divine pattern of perfection for
me. There can be no trouble, disappointments, sorrow, reverses, loss or
discord but that shall be changed for my good when I think Spirit and
live the affirmation of today, namely, "Divine Harmony and Peace
actuate every thought and action of my being." All things are in Divine
order.
The Spirit of Divinity prompts my thinking. The Divine within me
actuates my actions. The God Powers within, this minute are working all
things together for my good. There can be no danger come nigh my
dwelling for my body is the temple of the living God. Therefore, the
God Spirit within me protects me from all harm, inspires me to high
ideals, lifts me to heights of righteousness and fills my soul with
love. Love for my circumstances, love for my present conditions, love
for my environment, love for every one in the world, love for all of
the creation of God.
Therefore I have no enemies, for I love all. I recognize no
misfortunes, for the love energy within turns all misfortunes and
sorrows into stepping stones for my greater advancement and
achievement. The God energy within transforms all inharmonious
conditions without into a perfect harmony within. The Kingdom of God
now reigns within me and I am at ease, at peace and at-one-ment with
all nature and God. The harmony therefore within me in nature and in
God gives me perfect peace within and perfect peace without. Divine
thought and energy, love and blessing actuate every action of my being.
Where Divine Love reigns there can be no trouble, no discord, no
inharmony, no lack, no limitation, no sorrow, no grief, no sickness, no
failure. The energy of Divine Love transforms all things into my Good.
The Love and Peace of the Father abideth within me and is manifested
without so that my life is one harmonious whole touching the lives of
all others who come in contact with me so that they, too, feel my
vibrations of at-one-ment with the Father and they in turn become
harmonious and complete in Spirit with man and God.
Divine Harmony and Peace actuate every thought and action of my being.
All things are in Divine order.

THOUGHT TO HOLD IN SILENCE AND TO MEDITATE UPON DURING THE DAY
FOR JUSTICE
"There's a Spirit of Justice that Secures me in Which is My Own."
If we reach a consciousness of justice, we need have no doubts as to
our care in every particular while journeying between the two peaks of
eternity--from birth to the Great Divide.
There is nothing that can defeat justice; and the person who has a
consciousness of justice will attract to himself every conceivable
thing needed for this life, because it will be the logical objective of
justice to supply to each individual that justice for which he thinks.
That is the reason why this affirmation is so complete in itself;
namely, "There is a spirit of JUSTICE that secures me in which is my
own, and this security is provided already for us by the Spirit of
Justice."
It would be a psychological paradox to think that Justice could be
defeated. That could not be. Perhaps it appears to you that your own
has not yet been secured to you, but, remember that life is
fleeting--that a year is as a tale that is told--and that a decade is
but as "Ships that pass in the night"--when the years have vanished in
the distance.
If you have lived a life of justice, and it appears now that your own
is not coming to you, that someone else is having more of the good
things of life than you, and that someone seems to have used the art of
the man of injustice, be not deceived, God is not mocked, for
"whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." If you have sowed
equity and justice in the days that are gone, be sure that the same
equity and justice will be secured to you.
The Scriptures tell us not to think too much of the man who is
nourishing like a green bay tree, for his efforts are soon cut off and
he vanisheth away.
One who is astride the scales of justice, and who thinks that he can
hold the balance, is gravely mistaken. He may have occupied his present
position for many years, first putting his weight on one side and then
on the other in an effort to keep his equilibrium. Perhaps today it
appears that the scales of justice are being well manipulated by his
insincerity, duplicity or trickery--but it is like the green bay tree.
It will soon pass away.
Justice is as eternal as God Himself, and there is no more possibility
of defeating it in the individual's life, in your own life, in the life
of a nation or in the history of mankind, than there is likelihood that
the sun can get away from its own rays. The justice of God is eternal,
or, in other words, God always is Justice, personified. Where God
rules, and where His laws and mandates have been given by His own fiat,
"man, neither flesh nor the devil" can defeat the ultimate outcome of
justice. Your own is secured to you.
Man himself is fashioned by the finger of Divinity. The crown of
justice is placed upon his brow and no ruthless hand of greed,
duplicity or evil dexterity can ever tear it away. It is there to stay,
and the man who has been thus crowned because he has lived in this
consciousness of justice--in the consciousness of God Himself--is bound
to have come back to him that which he has thought, that which he has
sowed--Justice. You are secured by this spirit of justice.
Perhaps already your life has had the law of compensation bring to you
more than to others of whom you may think, and who, because of their
bank account, get more out of life than you. A man may have a million
dollars, and yet not be as happy as the laborer living in a thatched
cottage. _Perhaps Justice has tipped the scales in your favor
already--and you have failed to recognize it. Perhaps you have
children, loved ones, family and fireside which bring more comfort to
you than the land owner gets who lives in his palace on the hill_.
Half of Life, or the joys of Life, depend upon our ability to recognize
and appreciate the blessings we already have. Therefore, in counting
your blessings, or discounting your blessings, be sure that you use a
moral standard, instead of a material standard, in gauging whether
justice has been meted out to you or not.
The Justice of the Eternal secures me, the Spirit of Justice secures me
in which is mine own. Believe it, think it, live it, claim it and
Justice shall be yours.

Question--In practicing the Silence, the mind seems to flutter all
about and there is great nervous tension. What is wrong?
Answer--Lack of concentration. This person ought to follow some
simple exercise of concentration, such as given below, until the mind
has control over the body. By practicing a few of the simple exercises
given below, fifteen minutes a day, and then taking the Silence a few
hours after these exercises have been practiced, the mind will begin to
be under control.
The nervous tension is caused because of this lack of control, and in
the effort to bring the scattering mind into one focus the reaction
comes upon the nervous system which, in turn, reacts upon the body.
Practice and exercises for lack of concentration follow.
EXERCISES
By Thos. Parker Boyd
(1) Select some part of the body, a foot or hand, with the
idea of HEAT. While holding the mind in this attitude,
breathe deeply and steadily, and, in from one to four
minutes, you will feel the warm glow coming to the foot. In
this way, you can soon master the entire body. Begin with the
sense of feeling. If there is an itching of the body, make it
stop by the force of your will. In from three days to three
weeks, you can stop the itching sensation at will. Then try
the habit of sneezing; stubbornly resist the inclination to
sneeze, and you will soon have the mastery. Now try your will
on coughing. When the tickling sensation comes, stop it by
the exercise of your will. You can soon master it. Next try
it on pain. When you feel a pain in the body, instead of
rubbing on liniment, rub in a little will power; soon it will
ease your pain as if by magic. With the fingers of one hand
rub the skin on the back of the other hand, stroking toward
the elbow, and will that all feeling shall disappear. In from
one to three minutes, take a needle, and you can stick it
through the skin on the back of the hand without pain. You
may have to try it a dozen times, but persistence will bring
success. Having mastered the sense of feeling, take up that
of hearing.
(2) It may seem impossible at first thought, but you have
seen people so absorbed in what they were reading or thinking
that they heard nothing, although you addressed them
directly. They are simply abstracted from all else, and are
thinking of one thing--to the exclusion of everything else.
They entered this state of abstractedness unconsciously. To
do so intentionally, you go by the law of indirectness. For
instance, take sight; concentrate your vision and your whole
attention upon some object, real or imaginary, until soon the
sense of HEARING becomes dormant. A little practice will
enable you to study, think or sleep, regardless of noise.
(3) Having mastered hearing, begin on SIGHT. You have known
people who walked on the street, looked at you and passed by
without recognition, although they knew you well. A person
deeply thinking on some subject, neither sees nor hears, but
uses the mental sense entirely. The method is to let the eyes
be open, but concentrate the thoughts on hearing or feeling.
(4) After getting control of your sight, take up the TASTE.
Take some tasteless thing on the tongue, abstract the mind to
something else until the taste becomes dormant. Then take
something with more taste to it, abstracting the taste, until
by this gradual process you can make the sourest pickle
sweet.
(5) Finally take some light odor, and hold it before the
nostrils, abstracting the attention from the sense of smell,
by hearing or seeing, etc., until by practice you can pass
through the foulest odor without inconvenience or notice.
Sit or stand absolutely motionless, except your breathing, for one to
five minutes at a time. Do this often.
Practice closing each finger in rotation; then, when all are closed,
open one at a time very slowly, keeping the attention fixed on what you
are doing. Keep all the other fingers still, save the one you are
exercising with.
Inhale gradually for ten seconds, then exhale in the same way and time.
Look steadily at some point or object for a minute without winking the
eye, keeping your attention fixed on the object.
Look at a picture critically, then close your eyes and mentally
reconstruct it.
Close your eyes and construct the face of a friend, feature by feature.
Fix your attention on a hand or foot, hold on it the idea of heat and
continue until the hand or foot feels warm. Then try cold; then try
pain.
Will that the person in front of you shall turn around or put his hand
on his head or neck.
Hold your hand on some one in pain and say, "I will the pain to
depart." Repeat till the pain goes.

concentration, see "Practical Psychology and Sex Life," by the author.

KINKS IN THE MIND--THE CAUSE AND CURE OF SICKNESS
BY DAVID V. BUSH
What is the kink in your mind? Does your subconscious mind entertain
thoughts of fear, sickness, poverty, unhappiness--do you lack
courage--have you been hampered in reaching your success goal--do you
want to be master of self and your own destiny? Do you wish to conquer
disease--strengthen your personality--be more and do more?
Here then is a way to overcome all these mental handicaps and develop
within yourself constructive action. Dr. Bush, through his vast
experience in handling thousands of cases, has proven beyond a doubt
that all sickness, poverty and unhappiness is caused by "KINKS" in the
mind. When the store house of the intellect, the subconscious mind,
becomes clogged up with morbid thoughts and destructive suggestions the
physical being refuses to work in harmony.
Dr. Bush tells you how to train your subconscious mind along the path
of creative thinking. He points out the means of attaining the very
things in life that your better self has longed for. He explains how
you make your "Dreams of success come true" and he gives you actual
examples.
The secret of success, health and prosperity will no longer remain a
secret for you, if you will read and follow the instructions of this
wonderful teacher.
If you are sick this book tells you why you are sick--it explains the
mental processes that react on your physical nature--it places within
your reach the means of curing yourself and others. After reading it
you will understand better the process of positive thinking--and you
will be able to attune your physical nature so that it will work in
harmony with your mental nature--you will understand how to take the
"KINKS" out of the mind.
A book that may mean the turning point in your life--one that you
should get and read now--without a day's delay.

WHY SOME PEOPLE FAIL IN VISUALIZING
RULES FOR VISUALIZATION
To visualize and concentrate successfully, certain definite principles
underlying the laws that control the functions of the mind must be
understood and applied. My experience in thousands of cases shows that
failure is often due to the wrong application of these laws--to a
misunderstanding of the mental processes necessary to properly focus
the thought waves upon some definite desire and the urge of the
conscious mind for too hasty action.
The laws of visualization and concentration are well defined and when
properly exercised are without limitation as to success, but to
accomplish results one must understand and use these laws properly.
You will more readily grasp the principle that governs the laws of
visualization and concentration after reading this little booklet.
In it Dr. David Bush has gone right down to bed rock--he thoroughly
explains these necessary laws--he puts you right and shows you your
mistakes--he starts you off on the right foot so that you may apply
these laws for your benefit and profit.
Dr. Bush believes, from his own vast experience, that more people fail
on concentration and visualization than on any other operation of the
laws of mind now being studied or applied, because they only partly
understand these laws. In this pamphlet he shows _why_ the vast
majority of people fail in visualizing. There are natural laws which
are very often cross-circuited by well intentioned people trying to
operate them for their good, all because they fail to understand the
right way. You will understand visualization after you read "Why Some
People Fail in Visualization."
Send for this book today--you will understand this subject after
reading it--you need it now---send 25c in stamps or coin.
THE INFLUENCE OF SUGGESTION AND AUTO-SUGGESTION
In this little booklet Dr. David V. Bush discusses Suggestion and
Auto-Suggestion from a different angle than that in "Practical
Psychology and Sex Life" and "Applied Psychology and Scientific
Living." He takes the practical side of Suggestion and points out its
value and usefulness. He explains the limitations of Suggestion and
deals in a different way with the mental laws that control this
powerful factor for your success. No matter what thought you have given
to this interesting subject--no matter how much you studied Suggestion,
you will be surprised and delighted with the plain everyday way in
which Dr. Bush explains this mental phenomena.
This is a different angle of Suggestion than in either "Applied
Psychology and Scientific Living" or "Practical Psychology and Sex
Life." Also a different angle than has been printed in the fifty-cent
series by the same author under "The Subconscious Mind." This pamphlet
not only deals differently with the law of Suggestion as mentioned
above, but it is most entertaining, readable and likeable from the
practical side of suggestion. There will be stimulation, inspiration
and mental cerebration in reading this pamphlet--"The Influence of
Suggestion."
You will welcome this little booklet as a new avenue for increasing
your knowledge of this fascinating study and you will acquire a newer
and different understanding of its usefulness.
By all means secure this little booklet without delay. Your copy is
ready. Just 25 cents, coin or stamps, will start it by first mall.

of food you put in your stomach. Your physical being and cellular
development is retarded or improved by the food you eat. Sickness is,

battles.

be strong and sturdy--to think fast and act quickly--to be married
happily--consider your diet.

poison into your stomach--learn the secret of vigorous health and long
life.
