What Price Success:

Dear Friends,

I hope you feel the spring in the air. In the midst of the storm or the sweet calm of evening there I AM. We are living at a time in history filled with promise and hope as well as apparent chaos and difficulty. It is increasingly important for us to remember that wherever thou are there I AM. It is increasingly important to maintain a spiritual practice and center ourselves in Love. All that is going on around us need not penetrate us; it is not the Truth of who we are.

It is nice to chat with you in this way and to talk about this seemingly elusive subject of "getting what you want" in your every day life and affairs; and that is what I should like to try to explain. HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT while here in this earth plane of mortal being in your karmic evolution. The ability to get and enjoy whatever you may desire is merely a matter of Knowledge of, and correct conformity to, the Magic Laws of Nature; for to KNOW the Law and live it is to abide in a veritable kingdom of "heaven" of your own making. That condition of well-being we call "heaven" is a state of Consciousness which reflects into the affairs of our everyday life. Moreover, nobody but you can get what you want for you, promises, assurances and threats to the contrary notwithstanding.

Nearly everybody is, in some measure, seeking that intangible and enjoyable condition of being we commonly call "Success" which I maintain is the easiest attainment imaginable, when rightly understood.

After all, what is Success? What do you mean when you think of one who is, or has attained Success? Most people think of Success in terms of riches, or position, or title, or other tangible evidence of accomplishment. Few persons have any idea of the real meaning of the term "Success: I submit for your consideration that true Success is the effect or result of one's ability to Be or Become, Do, and Have whatever is desired; in other words, the ability to GET WHAT YOU WANT.

He or she who has acquired riches is not always a Success. Sometimes the humble loot maker is a greater Success than is the industrial giant. Success for one may mean something quite different from what another may call Success. In any event, any degree of success, in any avenue of endeavor, is the effect, or result, of the Right conscious attitude, as has been demonstrated by every man and woman who has ever been acclaimed a Success.

I repeat, the Secret of Success lies in our maintaining a healthy, positive mental attitude. A negative, destructive conscious attitude harbors fear and worry which only leads to failure and distressing consequences. I am sure you have heard the statement, "there is nothing to fear but fear itself." Fear shuts us down. It literally blocks our connection with the Infinite Omnipresence from which all blessings flow. There is One Universal Mind which we all use This Mind is Divine Intelligence, Infinite Knowing and is available to us if we but keep our attention on the good.

Where our attention goes, energy flows and results happen. Our thoughts (that is our beliefs, attitudes and emotions) are powerful and will produce results. Think of disaster and you will create disaster. Think loss, you will create loss. Think new opportunity and you will create new opportunities.

The world in which "we live and move and have our being" is a world of illusion. For we and all about us are but the reflections of the eternal verities of the Infinite Omnipresence. We are like so many " cups of water" reflecting the "Light of The World" which is innately and inherently WITHIN us because of our spiritual at one-ment with The Infinite Omnipresence.

Success, you see, is NEVER a matter of material acquisition, but rather, of spiritual Understanding and expression in Thought. We keep these little "cups of water, which we call conscious mind, powerful and effective for Good by Right Thinking.

Hopefully these few thoughts have been interesting to you and I will continue in my next message with the next step in the road to success.

Best wishes,
Richard
