The Silence | Page 2

the soul of man are brought into At-one-ment.
The Silence is a medium by which man comes in a closer touch with
the Infinite; a medium by which man becomes conscious of his
nearness to the Infinite. The Silence is the meeting place where man's
spirit links with God's spirit; where spirit meets spirit and the marvel of
His grace never ceases.
The Silence is another way of praying, which is another way of
concentration. It is another way of visualization.
"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." In the Silence a man can by
his thoughts change his life, his conditions, his environment, his all. By
right thinking man becomes harmonious. A harmonious man--in tune
with the Infinite--is on the King's highway to health, success,
abundance, prosperity, happiness, love and peace.
By means of wrong thinking our minds are put out of harmony with the
great Infinite spirit of God. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."
When wrong thinking becomes right thinking, then man's right
relationship to God is restored. He becomes an open channel for the

influx of the spirit so that whatever demonstration he may desire he
may have.
In the Silence a man may change his thinking as in no other way,
therefore, may change his heart, change his whole being, change his
environment, change every condition to which he was subject.
The human body may be likened to a harp. When man thinks rightly his
body is in tune; but wrong thinking creates inharmony in the body and
produces sickness. Wrong thinking produces inharmony in the mind,
which, of course, disconnects man from rightful association with the
Divine. A man must, therefore, think right. Yet, because of centuries of
erroneous conception of God and of the world, man has been a negative
instead of a positive being, and his unwisdom has reacted upon the
present generation.
We are mental sending and receiving stations. What we receive
depends upon how we are thinking Now. For success, health and
happiness we must in the silent chambers of the soul change our
thinking if we are holding negative or inharmonious thoughts. In the
Silence there is presented to man his greatest opportunity to change his
thinking. Wrong thinking produces inharmony of the body which in
turn produces sickness. If we change to right thinking we have health,
success and happiness. Therefore the Silence when properly used
re-harmonizes our bodies and minds through the simple agency of right
thinking.
"There are steps of approach to the Silence. Stillness is one thing and
the Silence is another. One may quiet himself physically and not be still,
and he may be still without entering the Silence. When one becomes
physically and mentally at rest, he is apt to become receptive to psychic
influences; and when these are not desired it is advisable to protect
oneself while mentally negative. One may affirm his Oneness with God,
his being surrounded and protected by the divine Goodness, and may
symbolize this by enveloping himself in thought with the white light of
love or the mellowed tints of sunshine.
"With the senses calmed and unresponsive to the slower vibrations, but

responsive to the quicker ones, a peace and calm pervade one's mind,
and it becomes consciously receptive to higher vibrations of vital
energy. Immune from the lesser harmonies, one opens himself to the
greater ones, which are always seeking avenues of expression. With the
greater influx of the One Life, a sense of power steals over one and he
becomes conscious of increased vigor and vitality.
"In relinquishing specific thoughts, one opens inwardly rather than
outwardly, and becomes receptive to subconscious impressions that are
directed by his conscious affirmation of fundamental Truth. The
subconscious responds by returning to the conscious the logical
sequences of the Truths that have been consciously impressed upon it.
The subconscious follows the lead given to it by the conscious
affirmations of Truth, and it brings back the consciousness of those
Truths in their various ramifications."
