ng over their failure, and they have no idea of their place or use in the universal plan. The old civilization lumped the whole race off in one confused bundle of states of mind and never gave it an idea of the legitimate plan of universal progress, or what part they must individually bear in the responsibility of this plan. New Thought divides humanity into four planes of expression, namely, Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit. We function through the body in instinct, through the mind in reason, through the soul in emotion, and the Spirit in intuition, revelation and prophecy. Men as we know them have one or two and sometimes all of these planes in expression and they have success or failure in just the degree that they know themselves and contact consciousness from their own plane of power. A plane of consciousness is only a state of being in which man lives, and through which he has his own individual law of transference; and a complete understanding of these planes of consciousness and their laws, makes man master of himself and of life in all its forms. It has taken generations of thinking to at last evolve this truth that every life is named, numbered, chorded and placed in its own natural law of attraction, and when it works in unison with this law it has success, when it works in opposition it has failure. When an individual has found themselves and their natural contact, they are straight in the middle of the Divine channel of success and rowing with the full force of the tide in their favor; but where one does not know themselves, he or she is rowing against the tide or drifting idly and at every moment they are dashed against the rocks of error in their channel. It has been written "God has provided some better things for us, that they without us cannot be made perfect." This is true. " Know thyself" is the first step toward becoming one with the things provided then life will ask and answer its own questions.
