The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | JANUARY 1934

Relate this thought with what is stated in the first article of this issue, and you can glimpse how this must be so. Being “born with a veil” seems to have something to do with such unusually close connection between the soul and its outer expression, the mind.—THE EDITOR.

A THINKER

DID IT ever occur to you whence come your thoughts, ideas and impressions—and why they come?

Think you they come by accident, or aimlessly, and have no meaning and purpose? Could that be in a world of perfect order, method and system?

If you can see that not one thought is given or permitted you that has not its purpose, then you are capable of analysing a thought and determining if you wish to accept it, to admit it in your consciousness, and thereby to affect your life.

But if you can go farther, then hear that always a thought comes from someone, and that by being able to concentrate on a thought and analyse it, one can trace it back to its thinker.

How can that be? Watch the mind carefully, when thus concentrating, for the impressions or other “thoughts” that come, and you may find something or someone trying to tell you what you seek to know.

But cease not to analyse what comes. And note also that Someone is trying to point out the difference between good and bad, truth and error, what to accept and what to reject.

Heed and learn. All is for your good.
