How to Build Mental Equivalent

[Guest guest]

1. What do you desire in life? You must focus your thoughts on what

you really want.

2. You must make a definite decision to accept the fulfillment of your desires.

3. Your desires cannot be fulfilled in the outer world of experience

and form unless you have the consciousness or mental equivalent for

them.

4. The first step in building the mental equivalent is to recognize

that the Divine Idea corresponding to your desire already exists in

your Superconsciousness. This is the intellectual awareness.

5. But an intellectual awareness alone does not have sufficient power

to shape the outer picture. Your feeling nature must also be brought

into play. When the two are combined, a powerful traction takes place

in the subjective phase of mind, setting up a vibration that

corresponds to the spiritual equivalent of fulfillment in your

Superconsciousness.

6. The fusion of mind and heart along the lines of a particular

desire-fulfillment --- if protected from thoughts to the contrary --

will develop into conviction. The conviction of mental equivalent

becomes the pattern through which the Creative Energy of Mind flows or

radiates. As this Energy, Light, Power, Substance passes through the

pattern, it takes on all the attributes of the pattern and goes forth

into the outer world to manifest corresponding circumstances,

experiences and form.

7. Do not outline the way your desire is to be fulfilled -- do not

be concerned with how your good is to come forth. You must trust the

wisdom and ingenuity of the Power, which is God.

8. You develop your subjective convictions through a dedicated

program of contemplative meditation, affirmations, and the proper use

of your imagination.

9. Be filled with a sense of thankfulness and gratitude that your

desires are already fulfilled (they are in Mind), and that they will

come forth into visibility at the right time and in the right way.

10. Be active! If you just sit around and wait for your good to fall

into your lap, your lap may be far removed from the point of contact

and channel that the Power has selected specifically for the

outpouring of your good.
