"Success is the natural desire of everyone. To be a true success, we must understand the laws of life and the way of the spirit."

   This is why the Psalmist says; "But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bring forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." The law is that when we see what we want to see, regardless of the appearances, some day we shall experience in the without what we visioned within.

"Faith is trust. You trusted your mother when you were in her arms; you looked into her eyes and you saw love there. Your "Peter" is your faith and trust in God, and it should be even greater than faith in your mother."

The man of faith puts his trust in the Invisible Power within him. He knows this is the Kingdom of the Real. He knows that his ideal is real in the Inner Kingdom and that his faith or feeling will cause the formless or the invisible to take form as a condition, event or experience. This is why the man of faith walks upon the waters and moves in confidence and understanding to the Promised Land –his cherished goal. Faith is accepting as true what your reason and intellect deny.

Do not look outside yourself for peace of mind, wealth, security or inner strength. The Divine Presence is within you –the Supreme Intelligence which created all things and is All-Wise. No government, institution or person can bestow on you the quiet mind or inner peace.
