THE LIGHT THAT LEADS TO PERFECT PEACE Our life is what we make it by our own thoughts and deeds. It is our own state and attitude of mind which determine whether we are happy or not, strong or weak, sinful or holy, foolish or wise. A man has no character, no soul, no life apart from his thoughts and deeds. What they are, that he is. As they are modified, so does he change. He is endowed with will, and can modify his character. Each man is responsible for the thoughts and acts which he does, for his state of mind, and the life which he lives. No power, no event, no circumstance can compel a man to evil and unhappiness. He himself is his own compeller. He thinks and acts by his own volition. No being, however wise and great - not even the Supreme - can make him good and happy. He himself must choose the good, and thereby find happiness in it.. And because of this - that when a man wishes and wills - he can find the GOOD and the TRUTH, and enjoy its bliss and peace - there is eternal gladness in the Courts of Truth, and holy joys amongst the Perfect Ones. The Gates Of Heaven are forever open, and no one is prevented from entering by any will or power but his own; but no one can enter the Kingdom Of Heaven so long he is enamored of, and chooses, the seductions of hell, so long as he resigns himself to sin and sorrow. There is a lager, higher, nobler, diviner life than that of sinning and suffering, which is so common - in which, indeed, nearly all are immersed - a life of victory over sin, and triumph over evil; a life wise and happy, benign and tranquil, virtuous and peaceful. This life can be found and lived now, and he who lives it is steadfast in the midst of change; restful among the restless; peaceful, though surrounded by strife. Should death confront him, he is calm; though assailed by persecution, he knows no bitterness, and his heart is compassionate and filled with rejoicing. In this supremely beautiful life, evil, sin and sorrow are ended, and aching hearts and weeping eyes are no more. This life of triumph is not for those who are satisfied with any lower conditions; it is for those who thirst of it and are willing to achieve it; who are eager for righteousness as the miser is for the gold. It is always at hand, and is offered to all, and blessed are they who accept and embrace it; they will enter the World Of Truth; they will find the Perfect Peace. = JAMES ALLEN =
