about the possibility and ethics of mind control? about positive thinking, winning friends, and influencing people?  It's all really very simple.  If you are familiar with the Bible, you may recall the Christ (and Moses, and other religious leaders and followers) working miracles in God's name, then denouncing wizards who could also do amazing things.  What's the difference?  Teachers and groups who promote positive thinking and mind control to achieve physical and psychological changes - where do they fit in?  Ads in the tabloid papers for amulets, potions, witchcraft, to get some desired result or another, do they work? and if so why?</div> <bR> <div> All religions have their miracles; miracles can be, and are, performed by anyone at any time.  Potions, amulets, and mind control work just as well; the KEY is belief.  When one believes strongly in someone or something, the belief is manifested.  This is LAW - the law of Creation.  It is also the law of Operation, and of Destruction.  Operation and destruction, of course, do not really exist, they just appear to exist.  Operation and destruction are merely aspects of creation.  Belief, faith, knowing, are the initiators of creation.  As you investigate, you will find many instances of healing and success documented by the professors of mind control, magic, religion, and positive thinking.  Why then did Jesus of Nazareth and other such teachers cast a shadow on these things?</div> <bR> <div> The answer is simple.  The fact is, your life right now is a miracle and a series of miracles.  Moment to moment, each of us is miraculously creating our own life situations; whether we view them as good or bad is of no consequence - we are the creators, or rather, the initiators.  When our lives get too "bad", we go out looking for answers.  Each and every individual reaches the stage where it goes looking for answers because of a lousy life.  The reason for ourselves creating a lousy life is ignorance, if ignorance can be considered a reason.  Ignorance of Inner True Self.</div> <bR> <div> It's more correct to consider our lives as God's game, a kind of a maze, out of which there is but One Way, or rather, one exit.  There may be many paths within the maze, but there is only one exit.  While in the maze, we are fed and watered, and housed and occupied, according to our own desires, according to our own initiation, through beliefs and the Law of Creation, but we always have the sense of being trapped.</div> <bR> <div> So, we create our own life situations, through the law of creation, which requires belief, faith, knowledge.  This is why all religion and mind control works in achieving your very own desired results.  Where these religions and techniques fail is also yours.  For THE INDIVIDUAL MUST HAVE DIRECT EXPERIENCE OF THE DIVINE BEING in order to put its DESIRES in harmony with Life itself.  Any and all attempts to use religious, magical, or mental attempts to achieve goals without divine KNOWLEDGE will only cause more havoc in your life in the long run, even though superficial results may be "miraculous".  Everyone goes through a period of being a black magician, a wizard, an antichrist, the devil's instrument.  it's just not as serious as it sounds, it's just a fact.  Only Knowledge of the Divine Being within yourself - your Inner True Self - will bring you up to the level of co-worker with God, will reveal the Christ within you, will turn you into a "white" magician, will reveal the exit from the maze, will put your life into harmony with the true nature and essence of all Life.</div> <bR> <div> Man is not God; God IS man.</div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
