572 BIBLE REVIEW Feb.-Mar.
few there be that find it."
You should banish from your mind all idea of the
counterpart life, and be IMMOVABLY decided to find all
the satisfaction for both soul and body in God and in the
cause world, living in the body, but not as the body.
You
will find, by keeping the consciousness active in every
movement of the physical body, that you, the thinking
intelligence, are moving the muscles, are carrying on the
work of digestion and assimilation, and that every function
and faculty of mind and body are your instruments
for accomplishing the desired results. Keep in mind,
that, while you are in the fiesh, yet you are not the flesh;
and if you feel the influence of woman's thought or mind
upon you, or any other psychic force, claim the indisputable
right to the absolute possession and control of the
physical body, with the same positive force of mind and
will and confidence in your divine right that you have in
your own house or to the gold in your pocket book.
It is
yours to keep and protect, and to use, and no power has
a right to touch it. Herein the principle that has grown
to a monster-selfishness-has its legitimate sphere of
action; but remember that your right of control does not
extend beyond your own body.
Take that thought into your consciousness, cause the
body to act as much as is needful for health and vigor, or
as much as necessity demands; believe, will, and cause
the body to take all the nourishment that it needs, so as
to obtain all the strength you require. Thus you will be
enabled to establish within yourself the consciousness of
the absolute control of the physical body, whether sleeping
or waking. When this is done, you will realize the
fact that you are master of that old serpent, the Devil,
that "deceiveth the whole world;" and you will find that
you have well entered that straight and narrow path that
leadeth to life.
