THOUGHT VIBRATION/PART 9
CHAPTER
9.
ASSERTING
THE LIFE-FORCE
I
have spoken to you of the advantage of
getting rid of Fear.
Now I wish to
put life into you.
Many of you have been
going along as if
you were dead— no ambition—no energy—no vitality—no
interest—no life. This will
never do. You are stagnating. Wake up
and display a few
signs of life! This is not the place in which you can
stalk around like a living corpse— this
is the
place for wide-awake, active,
live people, and a
good general awakening is what
is needed; although it
would take nothing less than a
blast from Gabriel's
trumpet to awaken
some of the people who are
stalking around thinking that
they are alive,
but who are really
dead to all that makes life
worth while.
We
must let
Life flow through us, and
allow it to
express itself naturally. Do not
let the little worries
of life, or the
big ones either, depress
you and cause you to lose your
vitality. Assert the Life Force within you,
and manifest it in
every thought, act
and deed, and
before long you will be exhilarated and
fairly bubbling over with
vitality and energy.
Put
a little life into your
work—into your
pleasures—into yourself. Stop doing things in
a half-hearted way,
and begin to take
an interest in
what you are doing, saying and thinking. It is astonishing how much
interest we may find in the ordinary
things of life, if we will
only wake up. There are
interesting things all around us—interesting events occurring
every moment—but we will not be
aware of them unless we
assert our life
force and begin to
actually live instead of merely existing.
No
man or
woman ever amounted
to anything unless
he or she put
life into the tasks of everyday life—the acts—the thoughts.
What the world needs is live men and
women. Just look
into the eyes of the people whom you meet,
and see how few
of them are
really alive. The
most of them lack
that expression of
conscious life which distinguishes the man who lives from
the one who simply exists.
I
want you to acquire this sense of conscious life so
that you may manifest
it in your
life and show what
Mental Science has done for
you. I want you to
get to
work today and begin
to make yourselves over
according to the latest pattern.
You can do this
if you will only take the proper interest in the
task.
Affirmation and Exercise
"I Am
Alive."
Fix
in your mind the thought that the "I" within you is very
much alive and that you are
manifesting life fully,
mentally and physically. And keep
this thought there, aiding yourself with constant repetitions of the
watchword. Don't let
the thought escape you,
but keep pushing it
back into the mind. Keep
it before the mental
vision as much as
possible. Repeat the watchword when
you awaken in
the morning—say it when you
retire at night.
And say it
at meal times, and
whenever else you can during
the day—at least once an
hour. Form the mental
picture of yourself as filled with
Life and Energy. Live
up to it as
far as possible. When you start
in to perform a task
say "I Am Alive"
and mix up as much
life as possible in the task.
If you find yourself feeling depressed,
say "I Am Alive," and
then take a
few deep breaths,
and with each inhalation let the
mind hold the thought that you are breathing in
Strength and Life, and as
you exhale, hold
the thought that you
are breathing out all
the old, dead, negative
conditions and are
glad to get rid
of them. Then finish up with an
earnest, vigorous affirmation:
"I Am Alive,"
and mean it
when you say it, too.
And
let your
thoughts take form in action. Don't rest content with merely saying that you
are alive, but prove it
with your acts. Take an interest
in doing things, and don't go around
"mooning" or day-dreaming.
Get down to business, and live.
