The Hidden Power, and Other Papers upon Mental Science
Troward, T. (Thomas)
New Thought
To enter into the spirit of anything, then, is to make yourself one in
thought with the creative principle that is at the centre of it; and
therefore why not go to the centre of all things at once, and enter into
the Spirit of Life? Do you ask where to find it? _In yourself_; and in
proportion as you find it there, you will find it everywhere else.
Look at Life as the one thing that is, whether in you or around you; try
to realise the livingness of it, and then seek to enter into the Spirit
of it by affirming it to be the whole of what you are. Affirm this
continually in your thoughts, and by degrees the affirmation will grow
into a real living force within you, so that it will become a second
nature to you, and you will find it impossible and unnatural to think in
any other way; and the nearer you approach this point the greater you
will find your control over both body and circumstances, until at last
you shall so enter into the Spirit of it--into the Spirit of the Divine
creative power which is the root of all things--that, in the words of
Jesus, "nothing shall be impossible to you," because you have so entered
into the Spirit of it that you discover yourself to be _one with it_.
Then all the old limitations will have passed away, and you will be
living in an entirely new world of Life, Liberty and Love, of which you
yourself are the radiating centre. You will realise the truth that your
Thought is a limitless creative power, and that you yourself are behind
your Thought, controlling and directing it with Knowledge for any
purpose which Love motives and Wisdom plans. Thus you will cease from
your labours, your struggles and anxieties, and enter into that new
order where perfect rest is one with ceaseless activity.
