Page 90 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

NOVEMBER 1948

There is a great law which few people comprehend, that is that we are
continually attracting to us from both the seen and unseen conditions most akin
to our thoughts. This law is continually operating whether we are conscious of

it or not.
Sow an act reap a habit, sow a habit reap a character, sow a character
reap a destiny. This is the procedure we establish in ourselves one way or
another. The discerning of our thought habits is essential if we are to build

that which we truly desire.
Habit is a powerful influence in our lives. Some are aware of this
and some are not, but all know that when a habit is established how difficult it

is to rid oneself of it.
By repeating the act the habit is established, it has passed from the
conscious realm and has taken up its abode in the subconscious, there to build

the character.
An honest person is one who has established the habit and the opposite
is one who has also established the habit. Imagination is a powerful weapon in

the building up of character. When one imagines himself acting in such a way
he will generally do so.
The qualities of true character are equality, love, kindness and honesty.
Equality enables us to view life as it really is. Equality is an admirable quality which

one rarely sees; it engenders the true relationship of one to the other and creates
a feeling, of kindliness. It is the fragrance of the beautiful rose that gives it
enchantment, so it is with one who has the quality of kindness. Should this be

missing, the character lacks fragrance.
Courage is a quality that all should cultivate for the amount of courage
you have so will be the amount of power you will get. This is very important
and is well worth remembering.

Here are a few questions you can answer for yourselves. Are you
poised and calm under all circumstances? Are you swayed or influenced
by what others say, against your own better judgement? Can you decide to

do that which is best even if it meant a loss to you? Do you place more value in
material things than you do in spiritual things? Can you sum up a position quickly
and make quick decisions guided by an inward sense of unselfishness and justice?

Perfect judgement is the result of a brilliant mind free from selfish interests. Think of
yourself in the most difficult position acting with calm and efficient accuracy,
with your mind alert ready to act when an emergency arises.
