EFFECTS OF MIND ON CIRCUMSTANCES.

Various events and occurrencies as it unfolds arround us gears and rears us up in so many ways that we begin to wonder, and the questions that fills our mouth are why and how? unknowingly reaching deeper into the inner mind thereby setting it on motion which can either be passive/negative as well as being active/positive. The decision that makes up your mindset will reflect in the result of your goals and aspirations.

Human 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 willfall 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, 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 master gardener of his soul, the director of hi life. He also reveals, within himself, the flaws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought-forces and mind elemets operate in the shaping of character, circumstance and destiny.

Thought and character are one, and as character can only manifest and discover itself throughenvironment and circumstances, the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniusly related to his inner state. This does not mean that a man's circumstances at any given time are indications of his entire character, but that those circumstance 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 chance, but all is the result of a law which can not err. This is just as true of those who feel out out of harmony with their surroundings as of those who are contentedwith them.

As a progressive and evolving being , man is where he is that he may learn that he may grow; and as he learns the spiritual lesson which any circumstance contains for him, it passes away and gives place to other circumstances.

Man is buffeted by circumstances so long a he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow; he then becomes the rightful master of himself.

That circumstances grow out of thought every man knows who has for any lenght of time practiced self-control and self-purification, for he will have noticed that the alteration in his circumstances has been in exact ratio with his altred mental condition. So true is this that when a man earnestly applies himself to remedy the defects in his character, and make swift and marked progress, he passes rapidly through a succession of vicissitudes. The soul attracts that which it secrectly harbours, that which it loves, and also that wjich it fears. It reachesthe height of its cherised aspirations; it falls to the level of its unchasteneds desires, and circumstances are the means by which the soul recieves its own.

Every thought-seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and to take root there, produces its own, blossoming sooner or later into act, and bearing its own fruitage of opportunity and circumstances. Good thought bear good fruit, bad thoughts bad fruits.
