most of us in this world are reflecting life; and the purpose of a church of this nature is to make us not reflect but to affect life

you need not wait for the stimulus of a change in the object to produce in yourself the change of attitude

You just don’t walk the street and reflect; read the papers and reflect

for they are playing the same reflective, negative approach to life

we simply go through the world reflecting the circumstances of life, not realising we have the power to create or to out-picture the circumstance of life

can I not deliberately determine the change prior to the change in the object?

Ninety-nine percent of the world reflect life.

you will stop reflecting life

Satan is that aspect of mind that reacts to life instead of affecting life.

God is the only actor. God alone acts in all existing beings and men. If I re-act, that is the passive or negative side, called Satan, but if I act that is called God or Christ.

moving completely from a passive reflector to a conscious cooperator in my kingdom

If you react based on the past, you continue in the same pattern.

On this present level man is always reflecting life, not knowing he is the cause of all he observes. But when he awakens from the dream and then becomes an actor.

I can be praised for one state and then I see a morning headline, say, and move from that true foundation, and then the power rebukes me as Satan, for I reacted instead of acted.

He doesn’t turn back and become just a reflector of life; from here on in he is the affector of life.
