that time and space are but a dream, you live
suspended in the moment, and time can never
touch you.
This is the consciousness of those who
have become “ascended masters.” Jesus Christ
said, “In the world [of three dimensions] ye
shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer
for I have overcome the world.” He had over-
come the thought-world of lack, limitation,
and death itself and made the ascension. Jesus
blessed the loaves and fi shes, and immediately came the increase. It was because he had the
unshakable conviction that the Infi nite In-
telligence within accomplished the work. He
taught this to his disciples and the people. He did not claim anymore for himself than he
did for others. After 2,000 years, we realize the amazing simplicity of his teachings.

Infinite Intelligence, the Great Magician
I have often said that most people look
too closely for their demonstrations, trying to force a channel or speculate upon the results
of every move. There are three simple rules for taking every trick in the Game of Life:
speak
the word,
follow
your hunches, and
dig
your ditches. You will then be kept busy living with the wonderful
now
and won’t limit the Universe by looking to channels.
In one of my classes we brought up the
old proverb, “The watched pot never boils.”
One of the students said, “We should have a
whistling teakettle, which does not have to be
watched. When it boils, it whistles for you.” So it is with your demonstration, it will whistle
for you when it is ready, and when you are
ready for it. Many people are asking for condi-
tions that they would not be big enough to

handle. You have to grow up to your dem-
onstration. You heart’s desire is ripe, but you are green.
I have known women who were filled with
doubt, fear, and suspicion ask for perfect love and companionship. It would appear in their
lives for a short time, but then be tragically
ended, for the old fears and suspicions were
stronger than love and faith.
Your good must be built upon the rock of
fearless faith. Ideals will be made real if held without wavering. It is useless to say we have
faith and then act to the contrary. Action im-
presses the subconscious, and if you run away
from a situation, it will run after you. The
only way you can neutralize fear is to walk up
to the thing you are afraid of.

Self-pity is one of the deadly sins. “Poor
me” is the worst affi rmation you can make, as
it cuts you off from the Power within, and you
will have more and more reasons for pitying
yourself. I give the example of a woman who
came to me, feeling she was neglected and
left out of all the good things in life. I gave her the affi rmation:
There is nothing too good
for me!
She repeated it hundreds of times, and suddenly, conditions commenced to change.
Kind and infl uential friends came into her
life, and new opportunities for success and
prosperity opened. Later she was given the de-
sire of her heart, which was to go abroad and
study music. Bruce Barton says, “There is dan-
ger in being sorry for yourself.”
Return to that Infi nite Intelligence, the
Great Magician, for “I will even make a way in
the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
