LESSON EIGHT
The idea and purpose of the silence is to make daily connection with the great store-house of energy. To be charged with it in the silence, according to your specific need, is much the same as charging electrical storage batteries, namely, when you are low on wisdom, energy or tact, go into the silence and replenish (refill) yourself.
This is making your at-one-ment, so that you go back into the business world richly supplied with divine energy and equipment for work. When you are in tune with the universal, nothing can prevail against you.
You march victoriously forward.
A razor blade has penetrative power because of its extremely fine edge. It meets with less resistance in passing through and between the molecules of substance, than a blade with a blunt edge. The concentrated mind is one-pointed, sharp and penetrative and finds a way through hard problems. It thus dissolves and disintegrates the seemingly impossible, or brings the gold of experience out of them.
Many perplexed business people have turned the tide of failure into success by devoting an hour to silent meditation each day in their place of business before opening to the public. This accomplishes its purposes; it puts them in tune with their inner business manager, and it charges their place of business with a divine presence, which acts as a magnet to draw trade, in the same manner that honey in the blossom draws the honey bee.
The silence is the greatest university of all. It is here that all wise people have received their wisdom. It is here that the greatest teacher of all instructs the devotee,
A master mind is one which is capable of adjusting itself to every problem with which it is confronted. The person of concentration has wisdom and can master every problem.
The human being is an epitome of all the law, force and manifestation in nature. The telephone, camera, (Tying machine, typewriter, etc., have their representation in the complex nature and make up of humanity.
Using the simile of electricity, the human Spirit may properly be likened to high tension power/ the human Soul to a transforming station and conduit wires/ and the conscious mind to the actual use of electrical appliances in the world,
The Spirit is the power behind the throne.
The next lesson will tell you how desirable conditions are brought about by the use of attraction, adhesion and cohesion, and how undesirable conditions are dissolved by scattering, diluting, vaporizing and disintegration
