Effect Of Thought On Circumstances

           A  man's  mind  may  be  likened  to a garden, which may be intelligently  cultivated  or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated  or  neglected,  it  must, and will bring forth. If  no useful seeds are  put into it, then  an  abundance  of  useless  weed-seeds  will fall therein, and will continue  to produce  their kind.        Just as  a  gardener  cultivates  his  plot,  keeping  it  free  from weeds,  and  growing  the flowers  and  fruits  which  he  requires  so  may a man tend  the  garden  of  his mind, weeding out  all  the  wrong, useless  and  impure  thoughts, and  cultivating toward  perfection  the flowers  and  fruits  of  right,  useful and pure  thoughts.  By  pursuing this process, a man sooner  or  later  discovers  that  he  is the  mastergardener  of his soul, the  director  of his life.  He  also  reveals,  within himself, the  flaws  of  thought,  and  understands,  with  everincreasing  accuracy,  how  the thought-forces  and  mind  elements operate in the shaping of character, circumstances, and destiny. Thought  and character  are  one,  and as character  can only manifest  and  discover  itself through environment  and circumstance, the  outer conditions of a person's life  will  always  be found  to  be  harmoniously  related to  his inner  state.  This does  not mean  that  a  man's circumstances at any given time  are  an indication  of  his  entire  character, but that those  circumstances  are so  intimately connected  with some  vital thought-element within himself  that,  for  the time  being,  they  are  indispensable  to  his development. Every  man is where  he  is by  the  law of  his being; the  thoughts which he  has built into  his character have  brought  him  there,  and in  the arrangement  of  his  life there is  no  element  of  chance,  but  all is  the  result of a law which cannot err. This is just as true  of those who  feel  "out  of  harmony" with their surroundings as of  those  who are  contented  with them. Thanks

The Most complex problem

Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant’s beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant’s debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag.If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender’s wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant’s garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up ...

The Trade of Wisdom.

The trade of wisdom is better than the trade of money or silver. Prov 3:14 KJV For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. NET For her benefit is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than gold. The Hebrew word used for merchandise, sachar, means an emporium, abstractly, profit (from trade). In BDB: traffic, gain, profit, gain from merchandise, a. traffic, gain from traffic. The root word is sachar, which means to travel round (specifically as a pedlar). BDB: to go around, go about, travel about in, go about in trade, a. (Qal): to go about to and fro (in business) trader, trafficker (participle) So not only is wisdom better than money, or the profit of wisdom better than the profit of money, or the acquisition of wisdom better than the acquisition of money, but also the trade, traffic or business of wisdom better that the trade, commerce or business of money. Now let us talk about trade. How do you trad...
