00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Realization. If you were to stop in the close of

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,000
the last chapter, however, you would never become great. You

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,599
would be indeed a mere dreamer of dreams, a castle builder.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,480
Too many do stop there. They do not understand the

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,199
necessity for present action. In realizing the vision and bringing

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,519
the thought form into manifestation. Two things are necessary, firstly

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,559
the making of the thought form, and secondly the actual

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,000
appropriation to yourself of all that goes into and around

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,840
the thought form. We have discussed the first. Now we

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,479
will proceed to give directions for the second. When you

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,159
have made your thought form, you are already in your

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,079
interior what you want to be. Next, you must become

13
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:49,719
externally what you want to be. You are already great within,

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,439
but you are not yet doing the great things. Without

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,200
you cannot begin on the instant to do the great things.

16
00:00:56,759 --> 00:01:00,640
You cannot be before the world the great actor or lawyer, musician,

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,239
or personality you know yourself to be. No one will

18
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:07,040
entrust great things to you as yet, for you have

19
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,560
not made yourself known. But you can always begin to

20
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:14,159
do small things in a great way. Here lies the

21
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:17,239
whole secret. You can begin to be great to day

22
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:20,599
in your own home, in your store or office, on

23
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:24,599
the street, everywhere. You can begin to make yourself known

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,680
as great. And you can do this by doing everything

25
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:30,400
you do in a great way. You must put the

26
00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:33,719
whole power of your great soul into every act, however

27
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:37,680
small or commonplace, and so revealed to your family, your friends,

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,959
and neighbors what you really are. Do not brag or

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,159
boast of yourself. Do not go about telling people what

30
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,439
a great personage you are. Simply live in a great way.

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,359
No one will believe you if you tell him you

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,040
are a great man, but no one can doubt your

33
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:56,200
greatness if you show it in your actions in your

34
00:01:56,239 --> 00:02:00,200
domestic circle. Be so just, so generous, so courteous, and

35
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,760
kindly that your family, your wife, husband, children, brothers, and

36
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:08,319
sisters shall know that you are a great and noble soul.

37
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:13,520
In all your relations with man, be great, just, generous, courteous,

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,719
and kindly. The great are never otherwise. This is your attitude. Next,

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,120
and most important, you must have absolute faith in your

40
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,039
own perceptions of truth. Never act in haste or hurry.

41
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,240
Be deliberate in everything. Wait until you feel that you

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,680
know the true way. And when you do feel that

43
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:38,039
you know the true way, be guided by your own faith,

44
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:41,680
though the entire world shall disagree with you. If you

45
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,240
do not believe what God tells you in little things,

46
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:47,159
you will never draw upon His wisdom and knowledge in

47
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,039
larger things. When you feel deeply that a certain act

48
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,319
is the right act, do it and have perfect faith

49
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:57,840
that the consequences will be good. When you are deeply

50
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,919
impressed that a certain thing is true, no matter what

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,319
the appearances to the contrary may be, except that thing

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,120
as true, and act accordingly, the one way to develop

53
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:11,400
a perception of truth in layers things is to trust

54
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:14,840
absolutely to your present perception of truth in small things.

55
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:18,240
Remember that you are seeking to develop this very power

56
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,400
or faculty, the perception of truth. You are learning to

57
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:26,280
read the thoughts of God. Nothing is great and nothing

58
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:29,319
is small. In the sight of omnipotence. He holds the

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,800
sun in its place. But he also notes as perrow's fall,

60
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:37,159
and numbers the hairs of your head. God is as

61
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,960
much interested in the little matters of every day life

62
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,560
as he is in the affairs of nations. You can

63
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:47,120
perceive truth about family and neighborhood affairs, as well as

64
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:50,520
about matters of state craft and the way to begin

65
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,080
is to have perfect faith in the truth in these

66
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,919
small matters, as it is revealed to you from day

67
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:59,159
to day. When you feel deeply impelled to take a

68
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,400
course that seems contrary to all reason and worthy judgment,

69
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,800
take that course. Listen to the suggestions and advice of others,

70
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:09,479
but always do what you feel deeply in the within

71
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,960
to be the true thing to do. Relive it absolute

72
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,199
faith at all times on your own perception of truth.

73
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:19,560
But be sure that you listen to God, that you

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,040
do not act in haste, fear, or anxiety. Rely upon

75
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:27,160
your perception of truth in all the facts and circumstances

76
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,480
of life. If you feel deeply that a certain man

77
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,600
will be in a certain place on a certain day,

78
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,240
go there with perfect faith to meet him. He will

79
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,839
be there, no matter how unlikely it may seem. If

80
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,279
you feel sure that certain people are making certain combinations

81
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,759
or doing certain things, act in the faith that they

82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,839
are doing those things. If you feel sure of the

83
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:54,120
truth of any circumstance or happening near, are distant, past, present,

84
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,000
or to come, trust in your perception. You may make

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,959
occasional mistakes at first because of your imperfect understanding of

86
00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:05,800
the within, but you will soon be guided almost invariably right.

87
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,879
Soon your family and friends will begin to differ more

88
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,600
and more to your judgment and to be guided by you.

89
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,199
Soon your neighbors and townsmen will be coming to you

90
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,920
for counsel and advice. Soon you will be recognized as

91
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:21,680
one who is great in small things, and you will

92
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,839
be called upon more and more to take charge of

93
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,639
larger things. All that is necessary is to be guided

94
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:31,560
absolutely in all things by your inner light, your perception

95
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,720
of truth. Obey your soul. Have perfect faith in yourself.

96
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:39,600
Never think of yourself with doubt or distrust, or as

97
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,800
one who makes mistakes. If I judge, my judgment is just,

98
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,680
for I seek not honor from men, but from the

99
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,439
Father only.
