=--d--Warning--=Have one big objective and stay with it. Do not be inclined to show off too much. Keep your energies for your big job, your main appeal to your public. Do not allow personalities or flattery to get inside of your mind. Keep yourself clean and fine. Believe in yourself and your work, be enthusiastic but not boastful. Put all your energies into the thing you are doing at all times and you will come out ahead. But plan well and thoroughly and for years ahead what you want to be doing. =Application of the Seven Principles to the Spirit Plane= =--e--=THE SPIRIT PLANE is peculiar, in that very few of the Seven Principles have any application to it. Even where we can detect some little application, it is but dim to us. It is for the most part "beyond the veil." The SPIRIT PLANE is that "mystery which the angels have desired to look into." (1 Pet. 1: 12.) =--f--=FORCE, the First Principle, cannot be applied in any way to the SPIRIT PLANE, for FORCE is the First Emanation of SPIRIT. Since GOD is SPIRIT (John 4:24) it follows that He is the Forceless center of all FORCE. FORCE being His First Expression, His Word creates. HE does not NEED FORCE, even as an attribute. Nor does He need any other attribute that we could name for Him. =--g--=Likewise we cannot give GOD or SPIRIT the attribute of POWER, for that is derived from FORCE. [Sidenote: PISCES [Symbol: Pisces] SUB-LUMA] =--h--=CHOICE, the Second Principle, cannot be applied to the SPIRIT PLANE, for SPIRIT or GOD cannot be reduced to a CHOICE. Neither could GOD be given RICHES, as being produced by the right use of CHOICE. =--j--=ORDER, the Third Principle, cannot be applied to the SPIRIT PLANE, for "that which GOD (SPIRIT) doeth is perfect, nothing can be put to it and nothing can be taken from it." (Eccles. 3:14.) Nothing could be arranged or put in any more perfect ORDER than is already IN SPIRIT. =--k--=COHESION, the Fourth Principle, cannot be applied to SPIRIT, for no STRENGTH can be added to SPIRIT. =--l--=DISCARD, the Fifth Principle, cannot be added to the SPIRIT PLANE, because there is nothing in SPIRIT to DISCARD and therefore no HONOR to which SPIRIT may attain. How good it would be if men could learn that, and not be pleading with SPIRIT to send DOWN the POWER, when the HONOR and POWER would come OUT upon them (Acts 2:3, 4) if they could but be "still and know that the I AM is GOD." (Psalm 46:10.) =--m--=TRANSMUTATION, the Sixth Principle, cannot be applied to the SPIRIT PLANE, for there is nothing to TRANSMUTE on that Plane. All is perfect. =--n--=SPIRITUALITY, the Seventh Principle, cannot be applied to the SPIRIT PLANE for the SPIRIT PLANE IS SPIRITUALITY and is therefore the top, the apex, of BLESSING. =PISCES= [Symbol: Pisces] =SUB-LUMA= =Sign No. 12= [Illustration: Symbol: Pisces]
