No greater good can come to
any man
or woman than to become self-active. All the experiences of life are
designed by Providence to force men and women into self-activity; to
compel them to cease being creatures of circumstances and master their
environment. In his lowest stage, man is the child of chance and
circumstance and the slave of fear. His acts are all reactions
resulting from the impingement upon him of forces in his environment.
He acts only as he is acted upon; he originates nothing. But the lowest
savage has within him a Principle of Power sufficient to master all
that he fears; and if he learns this and becomes self-active, he
becomes as one of the gods.
The awakening of the Principle
of
Power in man is the real conversion; the passing from death to life. It
is when the dead hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth and
live. It is the resurrection and the life. When it is awakened, man
becomes a son of the Highest and all power is given to him in heaven
and on earth.
Nothing was ever in any man
that is
not in you; no man ever had more spiritual or mental power than you can
attain, or did greater things than you can accomplish. You can become
what you want to be. The Science of Being Great
