victory.  When you are tempted, sit in silence ten minutes and say, “I am supreme.”  You will win over any habit that you may have.  Change your position.  Change your work.  Change your associations.  Drinking and smoking are the major habits that enslave men.  The moment you become disgusted with a habit it loses power over you.  When you get moral courage enough to hate it, it will flee from you.  You may conquer in five days, or it may be five weeks.  Just set aside a vacation of that time, and fight a battle for Supreme manhood.  Have confidence in yourself.  Arouse your will to splendid self-mastery.  Have a motive for being rid of your habit.  Have enthusiasm.  Be determined not to travel thru life loaded with a kit of bad smelling smoking tools.  Smoking does not stimulate, nor aid digestion, it does not clear the brain, nor sooth the nerves.  It is quite the opposite.  The same is true of the liquor habit.  A habit is a deficiency, it is a vicious enemy that mars and defeats Supreme Personality.

It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out, it is the grain of sand in your shoe.

All life is divine, limitless in sensation, supreme in expressions.  Get life, get well, get strong, get wisdom, get expression, get in love.  “And men seeing your good works will glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

=Supreme power of magnetism=

=Our magnetic monochrome:= You can prepare your own Magnetic Monochrome by careful study of the colors which most influence you.  These will vary with the physical temperament of different people.  The primary healing colors are:  Crimson, Scarlet, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Lively Yellow, Violet, and Purple.  The primary inspirational colors are:  Light Blue, Pale Green, Rose, Pink, Lavender, Lively Red.  From these you can form your Monochrome of almost endless results.  It is wise and best to select and use just those colors which will give the greatest intensity of vibration.  Once you have found your responsive and sympathetic colors, those grouped together form your Magnetic Monochrome.  Magnetism is the highest form of physicalized power in the universe.  It knows no resistance, it passes thru all substances and pervades all space.  It is the most vital power in the universe.  Our modern life presents a magnetic paradox, it affords the greatest development of magnetism and is the greatest destroyer of it.  It is generated by the brain, flows to the right thru the body in form of a figure 8.  From the brain to the solar plexus, across to the left side, then down to the procreative organs and thru to the right side, and up to the solar plexus again and thru to the left side and up to the brain.  The solar plexus is the body’s great life centre.
