THE INNER ROOM
CONTAINING quotations from our replies to those writing us for help in their Spiritual problems.
Each day at 12 o’clock noon, we take the names of those asking for such help in the Silence of the Spirit, and “Speak the Word” for them. Many hundreds have testified to receiving the blessings of such ministry.
READING AND STUDY NOT ENOUGH
YES, it is not the mere reading or studying of these Lessons that counts, but the practicing and living their Truths daily and hourly, striving, in the new consciousness to which they lift you, to think, say and do only that which the Loving One within inspires. When you can bring yourself always to wait upon Him and seek only to please Him, you will find that in marvelous ways will your outer affairs be arranged for you, and things be made easy. Under His guidance there will be no problems, nothing to fear or be concerned about. It is only when you allow self to rule, to worry about its concerns, instead of allowing Love to rule, that inharmony comes.
Money is not what brings happiness, nor prosperity. Money as we have tried to show in an earlier number of the Magazine is but the outer evidence of a rich understanding. The more Truth you build into your consciousness, the richer you become, because when walking in the light of true understanding your consciousness is wide open to all the riches and the good of the Kingdom.
What does this mean? It means that you must, therefore, keep your mind free of all negative and untrue thoughts about God, yourself, your husband or the conditions around you. Things are only what you think they are. If you could only know it, the Kingdom is always around you, even in your own home. But how can you see it when your mind is so filled with those wrong pictures that you are carrying there that you can see nothing else?
Think this over, dear friend, until you get all of its inner meaning, and you will see how much of the present conditions around you are due to your own ignorant and wrong thinking. This is a little hard to understand and accept, but the Law is plain—whatever is manifesting is the result of what you are holding in consciousness believing it is so.

DIRECTING THE MIND
WE NOTE your success in speaking to the cells of your body and that you get results likewise in speaking to others. You ask how you should speak to your mind to get similar results.
