Not Resigned, But Reconciled

Troward says, “There are two ends to a stick.” Emerson says, “We meet polarity or action and reaction in every part of nature.” All of us know that our thoughts come in pairs. When you think of wealth, the thought of poverty comes into your mind also, and when you think of health, the thought of the opposite rears its head. Let us enumerate some of these opposites such as matter and spirit, negative and positive, darkness and light, evil and good, disease and health, pain and pleasure, misery and happiness, ebb and flow, male and female, in and out, subjective and objective, fear and love, heat and cold, rest and motion, yes and no.

The opposites are the expressions of the cosmos. They are dual expressions of the same principle. We are here to reconcile the opposites and bring harmony, health, and peace into our world. When it is cold you build a fire, when hungry you seek food, if sick you align yourself with the Healing Presence and establish wholeness and perfect health again. When fear strikes you, the thing to do is to mentally unite with the Source—God which is Love. You could read the 27th Psalm slowly, quietly, and lovingly, and as you do you are moving mentally to the opposite which is faith in God. Fear is a denial of the power of God and the goodness of God. Fear is faith upside down. Fear is a shadow in the mind, and there is no power in a shadow. “Perfect love casteth out fear.” Fall in love with the good, become emotionally attached to the great truths of God, and all fear will go away.

If you are fearful, you can rest assured there is a desire within you for that which is opposite to the thing feared. Place your attention on the thing desired, and you will begin to reconcile the opposites. Desire is the angel of God, the messenger of the Divine saying to each one of us, “Come on up higher.” Desire is behind all progress. Let your desire captivate and hold your attention. You move in the direction of the idea which dominates your mind. The greater the expected benefit from the desire, the stronger our desire.

I should like to tell you of a singer who failed to get a contract because his voice cracked on three occasions during an audition. Fear was his enemy, and he discovered he could move to the opposite which was faith and confidence through prayer. He stilled the wheels of his mind two or three times a day. He imagined he was singing before a microphone. He saw the imaginary audience. “Act as though I am, and I will be.” He began to feel the joy of it all and the thrill of accomplishment. He continued to do this at regular intervals until he got the reaction which satisfied. He succeeded in planting his desire in his subconscious mind, and he felt a great sense of peace and satisfaction.
