Man has dominion over all things when he knows the Law of Being and obeys it. Do not put off your study of the law any longer. Take stock of your life this very day. Write down the things you really wish for. Be specific, not vague. Then write down underneath the conditions that you wish to remove from your life. If you do this candidly, you now have an extremely valuable analysis of your own mentality. In course of time this will tell you a great many things about your self that you do not at present suspect, and as your knowledge of spiritual Truth increases, you will be able to handle the new knowledge about your self in a surprising way.
Having forgotten your main points in front of you, work on each one separately with all the spiritual knowledge you possess. Remember, it is not really very important how much of this knowledge you have so long as you make use of all that you do have. Repeat this treatment every day for a month, and by the end of that time it will be very unusual if a change for the better has not manifested itself in your conditions.
For those unfamiliar with spiritual treatment, an effective method of working is this: Claim gently but definitely that the great creative Life Force of the universe is bringing each of the needed changes into your life in its own way, in it own time, and in its own from. Do not try to dictate the exact form in which the new conditions shall come about. Do not be tense or vehement. Do not let anyone else know that you are doing this. Do not look impatiently every day for results.
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do (Deuteronomy 29:9).
This advice compels us take an inventory of our hopes and needs. This is very practical advice that is applied by every successful business person. A George Harrison song says “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. How can we know where we are going if we don’t know where we are, where we have been, and what we need to get to our destination.
So, each of us should take this inventory and then pray for God’s help to guide us to our destination and our destiny. If we work on this each day, just as we would work on our business each and follow the truth revealed by God’s word, then we will find our garden and the joy it holds.
Taking stock,
