The Wisdom of the Ages, is based on the Truth that you have within you a mighty Power, anxious, ready and willing to do your bidding, regardless of whether your bidding is correct or erroneous. This Power WITHIN You is your ONLY Power in this life, and It is easily capable of producing in your life and affairs whatsoever you consciously create in your desire.
This Power within You has been described in many different ways, and by various names, depending upon the teacher or delineator, but all agree, philosophically, religiously, scientifically, or otherwise, that The Power Within is definitely defined.
In religious thought we find such names or titles as God, Jehovah, Buddha, Brahma, Vishnu, Allah, etc., and we note that Jesus referred to The Power Within as "Father," declaring: "I and The Father are One; I am in The Father, and The Father in me." John 10:30 and 10:38.
In psychology and metaphysics we find scientific explanations tending to describe That Inner Power as Mind, Subjective Mind, Subconscious Mind, Super Mind, etc. You must remember that "a rose by any other name would still be sweet," and that the name ascribed to The Power WITHIN means little, if anything. The fact is that you must come into an understanding of your Inner Power, locate It within You, and then develop the ability to express It from within you, into your objective (outside) life and affairs, for the benefit of yourself and others, if you would be successful and powerful in all your ways.
Your correct conscious understanding of The Power Within You will naturally lead to your Personal development...your development of The Inner Person ... which, when objectively (outwardly) expressed (as thought, word, and deed) becomes what is commonly referred to as "Personality." After all, "Personality" is nothing more nor less than the outward expression of The Inner Person, and, dependent upon your degree of understanding, will be your ability to express Your Self weakly or forcefully. The recognition of tremendous Power Within, naturally compels powerful expression.

In attempting to seek Knowledge of the Self the neophyte deliberately undertakes his personal independent search for the “Holy Grail” – or “cup of Infinite Knowledge” – Which is, indeed, in his own Omni-conscious Mind Center. Whereas before beginning his search for Truth he had developed a Subconscious channel between Consciousness and the Infinite Cosmic Consciousness of the Omni-conscious Mind, built upon so-called personal knowledge, advice, suggestion, instruction (most of which was false teaching) in contact with the erroneous Consciousness of humanity, he has suddenly determined to seek to Know. In this he begins to overcome and eradicate the former Subconscious in the development of the new. Naturally there is bound to be disturbance; the old does not easily “let go” of beliefs, fears and impressed conviction.
Before his decision to seek Knowledge he NEVER made contact with the Omni-conscious Mind Center within. What came to his Consciousness, in the way of guidance and direction from within, he thought of as “Conscience,” which, undefined and unknown, was believed to be merely “hunches from within.” Whenever he had a thought to act in a way which might result in distress to himself, or others, he was invariably warned and counseled by his own innate, inherent, inner Omni-conscious Mind, but in his ignorance he ignored all such guidance. Failing to understand the Wisdom of “Lo! ‘I’ AM with you always; ‘I’ will in no wise forsake you,” he naturally sought advice from whoever he imagined to be an authority on the Way of Life – seeking counsel, or confessing so-called “sins,” praying to an unknown Power which he had been falsely taught to imagine afar off in the skies.
Failing to “be heard,” or “answered,” he sought further counsel from his false teachers who explained that when his God did not want him to have what he asked for.” Naturally, a Subconscious Mind Center so developed must react and respond similarly, since the Law of Cause and Effect is immutable. And, naturally, in his ignorance of Cause and Effect, and his own creative Thought-Power in at-one-ment with The Infinite Omnipresence, he was taught, and continued, to depend upon a mythical Source outside of Himself.

When he undertook his search for New Knowledge he began to learn that “There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” He began to discover the simple, provable Truth that “As a man thinks, so is he,” and so will he BE. In controlling his thought processes he began to create Causes which compelled results of a nature identical to the Thoughts which compelled them. At first he was overwhelmingly surprised; it was almost impossible to accept the simple Truth that he, himself, is a creator of Causes which determine the conditions of the affairs of his life. It seemed to be “almost too good to be true,” but proof was undeniable.
No matter where he sought, or what he brought, or what he read, or studied, he met with the same old formula, or basic teaching, i.e., that God, or Jehovah, or Providence, or Jesus, or Buddha, or Allah, or some titled Deity, ALONE is the Source of whatever power, intelligence, or supply he sought; and that in order to “get” what he may desire, he must grovel before that Deity, supplicate and plead and beg for his desires, without any knowledge whatever of how, or from whence, his desire was to come to him.
His earlier religious training invariably taught that he was literally doomed before he began to live; for he was “born in sin,” and destined to be “lost” unless he could get influence and prestige enough, through the clergy, to escape the mythical “hell” of damnation which, of course, he did not know how to accomplish. He never thought to read Genesis 2:7, which might compel him to give some reasonable thought to his origin. He never thought to refer to Luke 17:21, to be compelled to think for himself about “the kingdom of God,” or where his God might be located. He never thought of trying to locate his God; it was enough that his teachers had told him to “blindly believe” that God is in the skies, somewhere without geographical location and, therefore, inaccessible.
And all the time his God was, and is, WITHIN him. The old valueless, false teachings helped him to develop a Subconscious misunderstanding and, therefore, an erroneous outward expression. When he prayed for what he desired, asking, pleading, begging for it, he never received, UNLESS, in his praying he suddenly, somehow, became convinced that what he sought would surely be realized. When he prayed in “hope,” without any “feeling” of being granted his desire, he depended wholly on “hope,” and hope is NOT expectation; it merely “wishing,” and wishing is not a form of creative thought. It is a form of mental dissipation and become ruinous. “Live in hope and die in despair,” is an old, but true adage.
Somehow, from some source, he suddenly learned about one of the great number of teachers, or courses of training, or cults, or groups, or Fellowships; and he enrolled and began to receive the literature; or he may have been led to read some of the philosophical literature, or religious teachings of some of the writers well known for their cultural books. While the books informed him, and led him to think, none seemed to instruct in methods; and while one course of instruction after another taught him basic principles, such as the Oneness of all life, none seemed to completely satisfy his inner urge for Self Development.
All his former instruction, his early basic religious training, the courses of training in Self Knowledge, added to all his book reading, was costly and often fruitless, but it all added up to one certainty – a muddled, confused, Subconscious development which led to the spectacle of a
living human being, endowed with Infinite Power and Intelligence omni-consciously active, but ignored. The result is such as is observable in many men and women, and in all walks of life and conditions of being, evidencing fear, worry, lack, loss, limitation, unnecessary illnesses, misery, discord, suffering, poverty, failure, and other forms of distress needlessly.
Man know the mysteries of God and of Thyself and Think.
May the spirit guide us all.
Adios.
