There is no such thing as “FATE” nothing ever just happens by chance. Examine the Mysterious Power of the Subconscious Mind. God is the Supreme Fountain Head of all power- all originates with him and all flows from him, but in the physical manifestation or expression in the life of man, all force and power comes from within. You are the one and the only one who measures out the blessings in your life. There is no God in the sky who decides how much prosperity or abundance you are going to have, there is no God in the sky who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and say's I think I'm going to do some people in today, I think I'll make him rich and her poor. The blessings of life are measure out by you, and only you. Man is buffeted by his own circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions. We have been working from circumference to center, and have never reached the center. When we reverse this process, and work from center to circumference, we will begin to make substantial progress, and not until then. When we recognize the fact that a Thought proceeds every act and that the tendency of Thought is to express itself in action; when we perceive the great truth that everything exists first in the ideal or mental before it is manifested in the seen or material—that our physical being and our lives are but the outward expression of that which is within. How natural it has become for us to lay the blame of our mistakes and failures, ill health, unfavorable circumstances and conditions, our unhappiness and our disappointments in all the walks of life upon "fate!" How prone we are to attribute our ills and failures to some extraneous source or cause, when the real cause lies within ourselves! Why is this? Simply because we have become so accustomed to thinking that the causes which control and shape our lives are external and such as can be measured by the physical senses. We have become so used to considering everything from a material standpoint—perceiving only that which can be weighed in the balance of human intelligence or measured with the foot rule, that we have actually grown into the belief that the things which govern our lives and control our destiny are the external. We have lived such an intensely material life, and have become so thoroughly enveloped in the dark mists of materialism, that we have lost sight almost entirely of the higher, spiritual and more potential forces by and through which our lives and our destiny's are controlled. While the soul is for want of a better term, the “God Principle” or the God Life within us, it is not God, and never will be. The creature man can never equal the creator, else being equal with God, he would be a God himself and there is now and always will be but “One God.” We must make this distinction full and clear, for while the soul or subconscious mind does posses some of the attributes and powers of God, it never can in it's most perfect state be equal with him. To hold that the soul is God is a very serious error, heed this cautionary note. We are now living in a time where this truth is bursting at the seams to gain fulfillment, to awaken man to the fact that he is the knowing not the known, he is not the thinking but rather the awareness of the thoughts and that he can be, do and have all the good he desires, if he will but listen to his inner voice which is crying out and telling him, “Oh Man, Above All Know Thyself.”
