The Hidden Power, and Other Papers upon Mental Science
Troward, T. (Thomas)
New Thought
(a) "My Word shall not return unto me void but shall
accomplish that whereunto I send it."
(b) The Principle here indicated is that of the Alternation
and Equation between Absorption and Radiation--a taking-in
before, and a giving-out.
(c) "_Order_"--Whatever betrays this is "Disorder."
(d) "_Conscious_"--It is the degree of _consciousness_ that
always marks the transition from a lower to a higher Power of
Life. The _Life_ of _All Seven_ Principles _must_ always be
present in us, otherwise we should not exist at all;
therefore it is the degree in which we learn to _consciously_
function in each of them that marks our advance into higher
kingdoms within ourselves, and frequently outside ourselves
also.
(e) The Central Radiating Point of our Individuality is _One_
with All-Being.
(f) _Equilibrium_--Note the difference between the Living
Equilibrium of Alternate Rhythmic _Pulsation_ (the whole
Pulsation Doctrine) and the dead equilibrium of merely
_running down_ to a _dead level_. The former implies the
Doctrine of the Return, the Upward Arc compensating the
Downward Arc--The deadness of the latter results from the
absence of any such compensation. The Upward Arc results from
the contemplation of the Highest Ideal.
(g) Spirit cannot leave any portion of its Nature behind it.
It _must_ always have _all_ the qualities of Spirit in it,
even though the lower parts of the individuality are not yet
conscious of it.
(h) The Great Affirmation is The Guide to the whole Subject.]
