<h3 id="id00095" style="margin-top: 3em">THOUGHT TO HOLD IN MEDITATION IN THE SILENCE</h3>
<h5 id="id00096">FOR MISFORTUNES, GRIEF, MISTAKES, REVERSES, FAILURE, SORROW, LOSS AND
DISAPPOINTMENT</h5>
<p id="id00097">"All is Good."</p>
<p id="id00098">We are entering upon a new consciousness for the human race, a higher
plane of mentality, and a greater development of the spiritual life.</p>
<p id="id00099">In spirit, of course, there is no wrong, no sorrow, no grief, no
misfortune, no losses, no reverses. In short all is perfection.</p>
<p id="id00100">The age in which we are living has not yet developed this spiritual
understanding. We are still of the earth—earthly—and we are still in
that consciousness where the physical is affected by seeming
misfortunes, reverses, sorrows, griefs, trouble, sickness, etc. We may
be wise in not expecting that suddenly this generation of man will
reach that spiritual plane where there will be no recognition of
anything except good.</p>
<p id="id00101">We are a part of the Infinite Spirit ourselves and, of course, in
spirit, we are perfection. But this physical body of ours manifests
imperfection from time to time, because of our past training and past
thinking, because of our own consciousness. In time there is no doubt
in my mind but that the spirit within will make a perfect body without.
This perfection will be recognized in health and in peace of mind. It
will be recognized so that there will be no such thing as misfortunes,
sorrows, reverses, failures, griefs, disappointments or losses being
able to affect our mentality or our body. In this state of
consciousness, as we are emerging from the chrysalis, material stage of
man into the greater life, into the deeper spiritual understanding, we
are subject to certain conditions not conducive to peace of mind
without an effort. In other words, we recognize, or feel the effects of
losses, misfortunes, disappointments, sorrows, griefs, etc. We
recognize now, that the time is coming when the spirit will be so
completely in control of matter in the body, that we will not recognize
any inharmony. To reach that Great Spirit is one of the big forward
steps in this generation. To reach that spiritual plane also means the
right kind of thinking now. We plan, today, for tomorrow. This is true
in every walk of life.</p>
<p id="id00102">We plan our home today—and build it tomorrow. We make our merchandise
today and market it tomorrow. We sow our seed today and we reap the
harvest tomorrow. We build our career today, little by little, and we
reach the outcome tomorrow. Therefore, our thinking today will change
our tomorrow. The thinking of this generation will change the condition
of tomorrow's generation. If tomorrow's generation is going to be free
from the recognition of sorrows, misfortunes, griefs, fears, pain,
losses, failures, reverses, inharmony, discord, etc., it depends upon
our seed sowing.</p>
<p id="id00103">Our seed sowing today should be "All is Good." All is Good in spirit.
You can say that and be honest with yourself. All is perfection in
spirit. All is good for us in spirit. All is good for our lives here.
Spirit transcends matter. When we recognize, affirm, and continue to
hold the constructive thought that All is Good in spirit, we are
changing our own mental attitude, our own bodies, all matter in
general—getting ready for the greater realization of the spiritual
manifestation in the next generation.</p>
<p id="id00104">Therefore, for your own good here today in success, prosperity and
happiness as well as in health, peace and harmony, begin to pronounce
over everything in life, <i>All is Good</i>. If you have any
misunderstandings, <i>All is Good</i>. If you have any losses, <i>All is
Good</i>, any reverses, <i>All is Good</i>, any sorrow, <i>All is Good</i>, any
inharmony, <i>All is Good</i>. In everything at all that is out of
perfection you must recognize only the good. ALL IS GOOD.</p>
<p id="id00105">Sending your thought energy by repeating <i>All is Good</i>, and thinking
<i>All is Good</i>, and living <i>All is Good</i>, you will actually, in this
day, overcome your difficulty, and turn all of your mistakes, blunders
and misfortunes into stepping stones for your own success, health and
happiness.</p>
<p id="id00106">I enter the Silence this month, this day, this hour and this minute. My
mind is obsessed and under control of the Divine Spirit, I recognize
here and now only good. I see in my fellowmen only perfection and good.
I see in nature all around me only perfection and good. I see in every
transaction of life only the perfect good. I see in every activity of
my experience, and in every form, color and thought, good. <i>All is
Good</i> for me now, today and forever.</p>
<p id="id00107">God is spirit; spirit is love; love is perfection; God's spirit is
harmonious, I am perfect, I am love, perfection and harmonious.</p>
<h5 id="id00108">ALL IS GOOD.</h5>
