POWER. 335
the "Only Begotten," which is the real Self of every
man, and which is ever seeking, of necessity, to
express itself through man. This necessity of
expression then is the primal force or power which
is back of all these wonders, and is the activity of
Divine Man. By what means does tbe " I AM" do
His work? The "Tool of Thought" is the instrument
in His hands, the power by which He fashions
His universe. We must awake to an understanding
of this power, learn to use it correctly, and then
assert it. We must think with a purpose if we would
have our universe a harmonious one. It is true that
"As a man thinketh, so is he," and so also is his
environment. This is a part of the creed that
"Sunny Jim " teaches:
" I believe to be happy is all I want. I believe
that I was never unhappy until I thought I was, and
that, therefore, I can never be happy until I think I
am. I am also going to show you that your thoughts
have a good deal to do with your health and your
happiness — more than you think for. To do this I
have had to add a new word to the language—
' Force-thought ' Force-thought is something like
fore-thought, only it begins sooner and goes further.
Force-thought is the kind of thinking that when put
into action accomplishes things. It is the kind of
thinking that nets a profit to the thinker."
This is the kind of thought we want — forcethought,
thought with a purpose. As master of his
thoughts man holds the key to every situation, and
may make himself and his circumstances what he
will. He should conceive a right purpose in his
heart, and then steadily, steadfastly, concentrate his
thought-energy upon its achievement. In the unfoldment
of man's higher nature we find that he who
works with a fully decided purpose always attains
power, which attainment is man's greatest delight.
Power is inherent in man as his birthright, but the
soul must awaken to a consciousness of its possession
before it becomes operative for his highest good.
