"A Summary of The Science Of Getting Rich

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. Otherwise he cannot be in harmony with formless intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit.

A person may come into full harmony with the formless substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the minds of individuals with the intelligence of substance, so that a person's thoughts are received by the formless.

A person can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.

A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to do, or to become, and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The person who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him.

Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the formless and the creative forces set in motion.

The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that is in his mental image will surely be brought to the person who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce.

In order to receive his own when it is ready to come to him, a person must be in action in a way that causes him to more than fill his present place. He must keep in mind the purpose to get rich through realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner. He must give to every person a use value in access of the cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more life, and he must hold the advancing thought so that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact.

The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get rich, and the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadfastness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude."

'Koha' is Te Reo Maori for gift. This photograph was taken on iPhone in Wellington, New Zealand. The shell and surrounding moonstones I found about a month before on Hermosa Beach, Los Angeles. It is one of the most beautiful set of gifts I have ever been given. The shell beautifully illustrates Phi in all its perfection.

Dedicated to Emma Curtis Hopkins, mystic and prophet (1849-1925)

Wiki tells you a little more:

[Emma Curtis] Hopkins was initially a student of the Christian Science of Mary Baker Eddy, who claimed to have found in the Christian Bible a science behind the healing miracles of Jesus which could be practiced by anyone. She would afterwards (see below) leave Christian Science to develop her own more eclectic form of metaphysical idealism, known later as New Thought with, like it, certain mystical traits of Gnosticism, though Hopkins felt much freer to make affinities with Theosophy and a wide variety of Eastern teachings.

Differing from Eddy's lead in speaking of God as both Mother and Father, Hopkins conceptualized the Trinity as three aspects of divinity, each playing a role in different historical epochs: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Mother-Spirit or Holy Comforter. Hopkins believed (as did Eddy, though not as parochially) that spiritual healing was the Second Coming of Christ into the world, and this was the hallmark of her early work. Hopkins also believed more specifically that the changing roles of women indicated their prominence in the Godhead, signaling a new epoch identified by the inclusion of the Mother aspect of God.

While Phineas Parkhurst Quimby is sometimes described as the founder of New Thought, he died in 1866, and New Thought did not formally organize until Hopkins brought together and focused the national movement in 1886-88 with the base in Chicago. Her first work Class Lessons 1888 ignited flash points for organized New Thought. She later authored Drops of Gold and Scientific Christian Mental Practice (1888) as well as a prolific body of written work. She was acclaimed for the giftedness of her personal lectures. Those that heard her speak noted her charismatic oratory. Her magnum opus High Mysticism is perhaps best read after familiarity with the groundwork of her other writings. She authored the International Bible Lessons in the Chicago Inter-Ocean newspaper (1887-94, an apparent echo of the Bible Lessons central to Christian Science). Hopkins is often referred to as the "Teacher of teachers" or the "The mother of New Thought". Those who studied with Hopkins included the Fillmores, founders of Unity; Ernest Holmes, founder Religious Science; Malinda Cramer and Nona L. Brooks founders of Divine Science; and Harriet Emilie Cady, author of Unity's cornerstone text Lessons in Truth.'

THE HEART OF SIDDHA YOGA

1 Siddha Yoga and meditation on the Self do not oppose any religion, sect, or code of ethics.

2 This meditation revolution does not violate the laws of any government.

3 It is not against any caste or social class.

4 It does not argue with either the good or bad qualities of any country.

5 This mediatation revolution is opposed to hatred among people, lack of consideration, ignorance, indolence, and falsehood.

6 This Siddha Yoga revolution endeavors to establish industriousness, to bring about oneness on the earth, knowledge, a search for the inner Consciousness, and the attainment of one's own Self.

7 This Siddha Yoga revolution is founded on high principles. It is an invitation to universal brotherhood. Because light, truth, and peace exist in all, we should love one another with respect for the Self in all.

8 Siddha Yoga takes no interest in differences. It does not argue about bigotry or cults. In Siddha Yoga, there is no room for cultism. Siddha Yoga is the same as it was thousands of years ago at the creation of the universe.

Then there were yogis and great sages who had transcended their minds, and Siddha Yoga was born from their arduous 'sadhana' and ultimate perfection.

Siddha Yoga is the teaching of those great beings who had fully attained the Truth and who had become one with Paramashiva, the all-pervasive Consciousness and Supreme Guru.

This field of knowledge is beyond human ambition, beyond the mind and imagination. It is a venerable path to the realization of Truth. We follow it seeking the supreme love of our own inner Consciousness.

9 The main task of Siddha Yoga is to unfold fully the God-consciousness which lies hidden in all human beings. It culminates in the experience of 'I am That' - the experience of our identity with God - and in the attainment of our own inner joy. 

Siddha Yoga destroys our negativities; it removes the dullness and lack of clarity of our minds; and it eradicates the differences among religions, people, and colors. By respecting all. Siddha Yoga dispels the hatred that continually arises in the world.

10 The task of Siddha Yoga is to put an end to the notion of duality - to distinctions of high and low, superior and inferior, rich and poor - to arguments and disputes, to the race-track competition among people, and to the futile rushing toward a dream of progress. Siddha Yoga enables one to make the journey through the world with supreme bliss.

11 Siddha Yoga teaches:

"May all people everywhere live happily and peacefully. May everyone become free of hatred, jealousy, and enmity. May no one see pain, even in a dream."

Siddha Yoga is the abode of love for all.

12 In Siddha Yoga, we attain the knowledge of our birthright.

13 Siddha Yoga nurtures one who wants the good fortune of reveling in the delightful game of the inner Self. Through it, one attains inner joy and achieves fulfilment in life.

14 Through the pursuit of Siddha Yoga, the inner conscious energy called Kundalini is awakened; yogic movements, or 'kriyas', automatically occur; and this great energy is fully unfolded.

15 A seeker experiences the energy with him [or her] as having complete knowledge of all spiritual practices. In the kriyas of Siddha Yoga, there is no danger.

16 Siddha Yoga affirms that the individual soul is nothing other than the Absolute. There is not the slightest difference between the individual and God.

17 Because the Self identifies itself with the mind, then the senses and physical body, it is called the experiencer. 

When it comes in contact with the powers of action,* it calls itself the doer. When it comes in contact with the senses of perception, it calls itself the perceiver. Through its attachment to the body, it undergoes birth and death.

18 Through Siddha Yoga, the Self attains the knowledge of its true nature and immortality. It becomes aware, "I am deathless".

19 When the inner energy is awakened through Siddha Yoga, a seeker may immediately experience a surge of extraordinary bliss and ecstasy.

20 In Siddha Yoga, Kundalini is called 'Chidananda-lahari', the wave of blissful consciousness; 'Paramananda-lahari', the wave of supreme bliss; or 'Satchitananda, absolute existence, consciousness, and bliss.

inanga > The Polymath

I'll let wonderful wiki do all the talking:

"Walter Russell (1871–1963) was an American polymath, known[1] for his achievements in painting, sculpture, architecture, and for his unified theory in physics and cosmogony.[2][3] He posited that the universe was founded on a unifying principle of rhythmic balanced interchange. This physical theory, laid out primarily in his books The Secret of Light (1947) and The Message of the Divine Iliad (1948–49), has not been accepted by mainstream scientists.[4] Russell asserted that this was mainly due to differences between himself and scientists in their assumptions about the existence of mind or matter.[5] Russell was also proficient in philosophy, music, ice skating, and was a professor at the institution he founded, the University of Science and Philosophy. He believed mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.[6]

In 1963, Walter Cronkite in the national television evening news, commenting on Dr. Walter Russell's passing, referred to him as "... the Leonardo DaVinci of our time."[7]"

The Avatrix is ever persistent. First she ingratiates herself into your hard drive, then she unleases her ordered chaos. The goodly Avatrix wanted to place her Oscar in situ so she followed me in an iPhone recently. Then she transfered back to the hard drive here in New Zealand. So ever a prisoner of her encroaching consciousness I was gently coerced into placing this piece on SmugMug.

She bears a striking resemblance to Penelope Cruz...

And she is ever the Avatrix.
