The electric ether is a ediu or agent and trans5 its energy, and individuals ay control and use this vibrant force. The ob6ective ind plans, and the sub6ective brings ideas to the surface of thought to evolve the plans into action.

"1ord !poken to 4nlock the 0oor of !uccess" *u an beings are electrical otors. The Mind is an electrical, agical, agnetic %orce. The 1ill is a driving po"er and the !pirit an electrical cur5 rent connecting ankind "ith 0ivine po"er. 0ivine spiritual po"er anifests in ankind as the spiritual or electric sub6ective ind and ay be su oned, instructed and co anded to do his bidding. Mind, 1ill and !pirit generate elec5 tric current, the otor po"er of spiritual energy and activity. By the 0ivine5given right of do inion and free "ill ankind is e po"ered and entitled to co and this spiritual and conte plative part of the ind "hich does the deep thinking. This is an age of applied ind5po"er. The acco plish ent of practical results is de anded. "To deter ine on acco plish ent is al ost acco plish ent itself." The conscious ind controls electrical forces. The spirit is the potential, direct current converting this electrical energy into echanical energy. .lectricity, an ether ove ent, su oned, con5 trolled and co anded, serves ankind. Thought precedes effort. &esident electrical forces ay assu e attributes of intelligence e anating fro the 0ivine real s, attracting unseen agencies "ho under )od attend ankind and i part "isdo and po"er in ans"er to insistent de and. To su on, co and and use these forces intelligently is an (pen !esa e, "ord spoken to unlock the door of !uccess. The electrical resident spirit connects thought "ith these invisible friends reflecting perceptions and vital po"er. 0iscovering and astering the la"s of at5 traction governing these real s inspires po"er to originate and create. These electrical agical privileges are intended to be an (pen !esa e lead5 ing to a supply for every de and. The "orld of ind, "hen conscious of its po"ers, is illu ined through the reflecting electrical !pirit, the ediu

The !piritual or sub6ective ind is a eans of co 5 unication "ith these 0ivine (rders of 'elestial Po"ers. Ideas are invisible e<istences of e<ternal realities. Mind action i parts otion and anifests radiant electrical energy the ore ind action the greater the results. *o" to achieve practical results has been a proble of all ti es. The Pro ises and $e" Testa ent teachings of our #ord and !avior 3esus 'hrist bring )od nearer to ankind. !pecial intervention ay be evoked to produce aterial things fro the unseen 4niverse. )od intends ankind to aster the secrets of the "orld, the riches of the ind attracting the riches of the universe. The 0ivine gift of the spiritual and sub6ective ind proves the vision. #a" governs individual affairs of life and "orld syste s, and agical ind po"ers attract unseen helpers ready to serve the enlightened "ill. Persistence creates de ands and unfolds opportunities. The Arabian $ights2 stories sy boli7e and por5 tray the po"ers and possibilities of the sub6ective

electrical ind and are for the "orld. They are of varied origin .gyptians, )recians, Persians, and (rientals, all contributing to their e<istence. .ven the educated classes of the Arabs do not regard the ost e<travagant relations in the stories incredible. )enii are still believed to e<ist. The stories are considered to be founded upon still earlier stories and traditions, re odelled so as to picture re ote periods of history. The religious and superstitious incident of the stories, and their fascination and supernatural ro ance have secured a hold on readers "hich has never rela<ed.

The #a p ay sy boli7e the illu inating !pirit, the 1ill, the Mind, the &eason, the Po"ers of Man5 kind, of %aith and Belief, a #ight to guide the 1ay and the Path of all Truth, Po"er and !uccess9 an (pen !esa e for all. Aladdin i plored 0ivine protection and thanked )od for deliverance and said 8 "There is no po"er or strength but in the )reat and *igh )od." All countries have their belief in folk5lore, fairies and supernal beings. The Bible chronicles supernatural and angelic inistrations. The early 'hurch %athers advocated the intercession of *ierarchs of higher orders of beings "ho hand do"n the 0ivine #ight to the faithful believers and act as inter5 ediaries bet"een )od and ankind. 1e kno" the 4niverse to be governed by a 0ivine Principle. These 0ivine beings are a bond of union an (pen !esa e bet"een the Infinite and the finite anifesting the i inence and accessibility of )od. There is a correspondence bet"een the revelations of the Bible !eers the accounts of the holy celes5 tial visions of the !aints of the 'hurch the absorp5 tion of the ystics and the sy bolic agic "ords (pen !esa e of the Arabian stories representing and e<pressing a continuous, conscious reali7ing po"er of ankind, through co anding the

spiritual or sub6ective ind5 forces an (pen !esa e to po"er and successful achieve ent. The sub6ective ind po"er is of 0ivine origin and its co and and use "as authori7ed "hen an "as given do inion. The 'hristian !cientists affir an (pen !esa e "hen teaching ".verything "e "ish is in the 2!ilence2 or the All5)ood a"aiting our recognition to beco e anifest." The "!ilence" is the "0ayti e of the !oul" of the Mystics "ho ain5 tain that in editation and cal and holy conte 5 plation they have direct co union and co uni5 cation "ith the 0ivine !pirit and ac;uire kno"ledge of 0ivine things and receive i pressions of true =no"ledge. In this practical age all are seekers, and the nu ber continually beco ing ore nu erous. The "hole "orld is electric "ith energy. The agical ind, "ill and spirit intelligently su oned and instructed, co anding arvelous results. The Arabian stories counsel the "orship of )od and on the agic carpet of vivid description reveal the po"ers and possibilities of ankind, and ay be one of the digits of the hand of )od pointing to progress. %ro the da"n of the history of the "orld e<istences of "onder "orkers and influences above the ordinary or kno"n have been believed. All iracle "orkers believe in the nearness of the unseen. The Arabian stories ay portray the !pirit that inspired 'olu bus, the A erican !pirit of Independence as "ell as the agical "ord of (pen !esa e. To our "heroic, enthusiastic, earnest and 7ealous ancestors "e are indebted for the foundation of our glory." !olo on obtained "isdo by prayer. The .gyptians believed hu an beings to be co posed of the body, the 0ivine !park and that "hich con5 nected the body and the 0ivine !park, and prayed for sacred blessings. 1onders have already been acco plished and only in the beginning. Mind attention su ons ind forces and dra"s con5 structive po"er in actuality corresponding to the ;uality of the thought sent out. This, at one ti e kno"n to but fe", is no", co paratively speaking,

Bible state ents and early philosophy are no" being scientifically proved. That the electrical energy of the Mind, 1ill and !pirit is sub6ect to la" has been de onstrated. The sub6ective ind is the spiritual estate of ankind. In this vibratory do ain the electrical spirit trans5 its and receives essages. The ind is inter5 penetrated by i pressions fro the higher planes of intelligence and e<istences of helpers to "hich the thought is directed by fi<ity of purpose. The sub5 6ective ind is the vehicle of the spirit, and ain5 tained and intense thought sti ulates ental activity. Pursuing ideas leads to being pursued by i pressions of ans"ers to ideas. &ecognition of, and training of ind po"er is of practical i 5 portance. Thought creates an ether ove ent of infor ing and reflecting vibrations. Auto5sugges5 tion is a ental conversation "ith the sub6ective ind conveying instructions and re;uests and generating and co anding po"er to receive re5 plies. I can and I "ill serve as an (pen !esa e. The =no"ledge and Po"ers of the sub6ective ind are being ore generally understood its po"ers and eans of infor ation ust be of 0ivine origin, as they can be accounted for and e<plained in no other "ay. In proportion as the sub6ective ind is trained and trusted "ill it respond by in5 spiring thoughts of confidence and i pressions of practical ideas. &eiteration is the na e given to persistent auto5suggestion or instructions to the sub6ective ind po"ers, and is a la" of the con5 structive and creative process of thought5building and a eans or plan for continually e<panding progress. Ac;uired energy ani ates effort to obtain ob6ects sought for. .lectricity is revealing "onders. .arly philoso5 phers traced all things to the ani ating infor ing ether. Modern philosophers and scientists reiterate this and prove its vibratory po"ers. The agical "ireless telegraphy de onstrates the ele ents su 5 oned, co anded and serving ankind.

The !pirit of the individual is identical "ith the !pirit of )od, affir ed the early philosophers. Modern ind students proclai the arvelous po"ers of the sub6ective ind and agree that it has eans of infor ation and resources "hich de on5 strate its 0ivine !ource. The early philosophers affir ed that the 0eity stands in the relation of a )iver to ankind granting "hat is asked and that those "ho displayed ore aptitude than others sought for and obtained ore of the infor ing spirit. The Arabian stories tell of the "onder5"orking #a p and of its attending servers and of the agical "ord of (pen !esa e. In our era "e are rubbing the #a p of the electrical agical Mind and &eason, and our thinkers are proving that the Infinite and !upre e &uler of the 4niverse "ill honor the de ands of ankind. The Mystic as5 sures in holy conte plation direct co union "ith the !pirit of )od. !tudents of Mind !cience have proved that "hen the conscious ind is centered upon a purpose the sub6ective po"ers "ill faithfully perfor instructions given to it and that "ith train5 ing and practice it "ill act ore intelligently "ith each e<perience. Belief and faith are re;uisite and sti ulate and encourage its po"ers. Instructions pro ote and produce perceptions. Intense feeling evolves ideas these auto5suggestions put the sub5 6ective ind at "ork anifesting the 0ivine plan in self5reali7ing ideals. In the sub6ective ind, po"ers, "ill and persistent effort secures an in5 valuable ally and helper for all endeavor concen5 tration upon plans desired directs the "ill and ind to"ard infor ation to obtain results. These po"ers ust be felt and reiteration trains feeling. Magical forces are in every individual eager and ready to serve the enlightened "ill. =no"ledge and 1isdo are first revealed in"ardly d"elling on possible attain ent, disclosing spirit i pelling energy.

The !pirit, the Breath, 0o inion, %ree5 "ill all besto"ed by )od, are electric "ith *is po"er, inspiring ankind to go forth and find. *ierarchs preside over the 0ivine (rders of the 4niverse "ho illu inate the intellect "ith intelli5 gence and are an (pen !esa e to ankind. The Arabian stories counsel the "orship of )od and are studies in 'heerfulness, )ratitude, *ope and 1orship and depict the re"ard of those "ho by agreeable and entertaining endeavor ake the 5 selves valuable, all effort for good creating oppor5 tunities by the agic of the electrical ind po"er. These stories portray individuals guarded by helpers "ho ay be su oned and co anded to protect and assist ankind. These surrounding influences ay picture the arvelous sub6ective forces co 5 unicating and trans itting po"er to the seeker through identity "ith the ani ating 4niversal %orces. .arnest and intense desire attract these po"ers of refle< forces. May not (pen !esa e sy boli7e auto5suggestion: May not (pen !esa e sy boli7e the potency of I can and I "ill: May not (pen !esa e sy boli7e all effort : The story of the voyager "ho overheard the appeal to )od of his carrier, saying, "Al ighty )od, "hat has he done to obtain fro Thee a lot so agreeable:" describes the voyager ans"ering by giving the carrier a perpetual invitation to his feasts, honoring hi by placing hi at his right hand at his table, and besto"ing upon hi gifts and riches thus illustrating the efficiency of prayer. These stories spur ental activity. They picture

all classes of people and individuals, and depict "hat ay be su oned and co anded by deter5 ined "ill. To reach the heights has al"ays been attended by industry. Alladin, re oving the stone, discovered a palace and three great halls.

The ob6ective is the consciousness of other things9 the sub6ective is self5consciousness, said a philosopher early in the last century. Intense con5 centration is co anding the attention of certain thoughts to the e<clusion of others. This po"er at hand and at co and thought "ill follo" the leading of the thinker.
