How To Attract Success

Our Intellect should direct us to such places where we will get this inspiration. We may obtain it in many different ways; through association with those persons who already developed it, through hearing lectures, reading books, visiting art galleries, going to theatres which produce plays that inspire, through viewing a beautiful sunset, through thinking of the wonderful power manifested by Nature in the raising of the lofty, snow clad peaks of the Rocky Mountains, or the never ending flow and ebb of the tides at the seashore, through the gigantic waves that the monster Ocean Liners ride so easily, and through the wonderful mechanism of the human body.

All these inspire us with the wonder and greatness of existence, and when our Intellect permits us to revel in their inspiration it raises our vibrations and makes us just that much stronger and more powerful. But when our Intellect refuses to allow us to revel in the inspiration which these and other wonderful things give us, when it belittles the creative power of the God-consciousness which manifests in all things, including man, when it places any kind of a limitation upon mans possibilities, then the vibrations of our atoms are slowed down and we draw from the formless energy everywhere around us only such atoms as vibrate at this slower rate, and it is in these currents where lack of all kinds is to be found.

The Spiritual state of consciousness is the vibration through which our intuition and revelation manifests. This is the vibration in which we get the real, the genuine, true-blue hunches of life. This is also the plane of consciousness from which our imagination obtains it most constructive and harmonious images. The Imagination is a faculty which may be used by all of these different states of consciousness. Through its use we create everything we have both in body and environment, and the plane or state of consciousness from which we use it determines the kind and quality of the thing created.

This 15 most wonderful statement must be considered carefully in order to understand its stupendous import. Many times people mistake an impression for an intuition and when the result proves different from what they expected they blame it on their intuition, when, as a matter of fact, they themselves were to blame for not being able to differentiate between their impression and intuition.

Intuitions never have their origin from anything on the objective plane, they always come from within, and are the result of our having, momentarily only perhaps, raised our physical vibrations to a point where this state of consciousness can manifest through the physical brain. Many persons do this frequently and unconsciously; they do not know how they do it and often do not know that they have done it, and then their Intellect steps in and tells them that such a thought was all foolishness and so they pay no attention to it.

Afterward they frequently see their mistake and then they are wont to say Had my foresight only been as good as my hindsight, etc. When we touch this state of consciousness and know it, and then follow the leading of our intuition we never go astray, for it is our highest state of consciousness trying to manifest through us and by continually listening to and following its instructions we develop it more and more.

Our Intellect was given us for the purpose of taking our intuitions and revelations and working them out intelligently in material form on the physical plane. Can we imagine any more insane intuition, before it was materialized, than the reproduction of the human voice by machinery after the speaker is dead?
