"Power over all things and all men is obtained by organisation--that is
to say, 'setting one's house in order.' The 'house' implied is the body
in which the Soul has temporary dwelling; every corner of it must be
'in order,'--every atom working healthfully in its place without any
suggestion of confusion. Then, whatever is desired shall be attained.
Nothing in the Universe can resist the force of a steadfastly fixed
resolve; what the Spirit truly seeks must, by eternal law, be given to
it, and what the body needs for the fulfilment of the Spirit's commands
will be bestowed. From the sunlight and the air and the hidden things
of space strength shall be daily and hourly renewed; everything in
Nature shall aid in bringing to the resolved Soul that which it
demands. There is nothing within the circle of Creation that can resist
its influence. Success, wealth, triumph upon triumph come to every
human being who daily 'sets his house in order'--whom nothing can move
from his fixed intent,--whom no malice can shake, no derision drive
from his determined goal,--whom no temptation can drag from his
appointed course, and who is proof against spite and calumny. For men's
minds are for the most part like the shifting sands of the sea, and he
alone rules who evolves Order from Chaos."
