Power is personality receiving its own in the realms of life.

All things exist for all beings.

Such are some of the realities that are being quietly and potently assumed and affirmed to-day throughout the world.  Of course the language of assertion will vary with each individual, but this is immaterial.  The essences affirmed are beyond cavil.  Other illustrations might be given, but they would be mere phases of that one breath of new hope and courage that is stirring in every land, to “spread contagion on mankind,” of the “life which really is.”

These higher thoughts, however, are of the Dawn only.  The full Day is not yet with us.  Shadows still there are, and error, disease and pain.  Why must these false “realities” remain?  Solely because of three things that linger on: 

False thought—­selfishness—­fear.

And when fear vanishes, replaced by the white life, selfishness will die as impossible, and thought will no longer be false for the reason that only truth will be possessed.

If the whole world, then, would but thrust out fear and receive the spirit of courage, I do not know any “evils” that could endure a century.

And if you who read these pages will but swing up to the white-life harmony-plane, Health, Happiness and Power must be yours as surely as air rushes into a broken vacuum.  If you ask, “What are the limits of this truth?” I answer, “I don’t know.”  To speak otherwise would be mere speculation.  I affirm the great truth:  All things are yours.  That you, if stricken through and through with dis-harmony, may be able to receive all you crave, I may not affirm.  Nevertheless, it is permitted to say:”  Launch out!  Launch out in the New Thought of Life, and receive, as you do so, whatever is rightly your own, as you are increasingly able to do so.”

Man has banished many of his fears already.  It is not a long run of the centuries since he quaked before the gloom of the forest, the solitude of the hills, the fog of the vast sea, and, creating innumerable gods and devils by that wizard of distortion, the imagination, lodged them in every object of existence under and in the heavens.  He has gotten rid of these.

But when we observe the fear of water, the fear of tornadoes, the fear of lightning, the fear of fire, the fear of disease, the fear of accident, the fear of death, the fear of ridicule, the fear of public opinion, the fear of bankruptcy, the fear of self, the fear for self, the fear of others, the fear of failure, the fear of devils, the fear of a vindictive God, the fear of the future, the fear of a hell—­Oh, then, we know that the sun of light is not at his meridian height.  We can yet get rid of these also.  This is one of the world’s tasks.  This is your task, if you would make the most of your self and life.
