A DAILY MESSAGE

WHY YOU ARE A MAGNET If somebody came, in some excitement, to tell you that they had just seen an apple fall to the ground, you would say, “What’s the point? Where else could it fall?” An apple could not fall upwards ; it lias to fall downwards, because everything in the universe, including the apple, is governed by gravitation—that’s the law.

You believe in the law—that an apple must fall downwards—though you may not consider the reason; you merely take it for granted; nothing can shake your faith in it; it is a conviction. But if somebody came along and told you that a law as absolute as gravitation, with rules as rigid as those of mathematics, makes you and me a “ magnet,” with a positive power to attract tilings like our thoughts, and with an equal power to resist any other kind of things, you might be doubtful; and yet a magnet you are, drawing to you every hour and every day things like your thoughts, by a law which is inexorable.

You are a magnet because there is an affinity existing between similar things, on all planes of activity—physical, mental, spiritual. You are a magnet because all living things attract other things in harmonic vibration with themselves.

Everything that exists is what it is because it vibrates at a certain rate; and, as everything includes you and your neighbour, me and my neighbour, our rate df vibration matters. We make our own rate of vibration by every action of our mind, for every idea is a vibration—every thought is a vibration—and every idea, and thought that we hold has the power to produce a certain condition in our body,' because every condition is a group of I vibrations.

Begin to be right at the centre—the centre of yourself—the place where you think your thoughts and dream your dreams. Set those millions of cells which are you vibrating with power; thrill them with confidence and hope; give them faith in their strength.

Do this, and they will build in you a faith in glorious things. Impress the triumphant thought on every cell, and you must triumph. Your thoughts and their vibrations will reach the remotest cell in your body; they will respond, and 'those million intelligences which are you, vibrating as one, will draw to you beautiful, glorious, and radiant things, for your are a magnet, attracting things like your thoughts.
