rything is first worked out in the unseen before it is manifested in
the seen, in the ideal before it is realized in the real, in the
spiritual before it shows forth in the material. The realm of the
unseen is the realm of cause. The realm of the seen is the realm of
effect. The nature of effect is always determined and conditioned by
the nature of its cause.
To point out the great facts in connection with, and the great laws
underlying the workings of the interior, spiritual, thought forces, to
point them out so simply and so clearly that even a child can
understand, is the author's aim. To point them out so simply and so
clearly that all can grasp them, that all can take them and infuse them
into every-day life, so as to mould it in all its details in accordance
with what they would have it, is his purpose. That life can be thus
moulded by them is not a matter of mere speculation or theory with him,
but a matter of positive knowledge.
There is a divine sequence running throughout the universe. Within and
above and below the human will incessantly works the Divine will. To
come into harmony with it and thereby with all the higher laws and
forces, to come then into league and to work in conjunction with them,
in order that they can work in league and in conjunction with us, is to
come into the chain of this wonderful sequence. This is the secret of
all success. This is to come into the possession of unknown riches,
into the realization of undreamed-of powers.

PRELUDE.
The optimist is right. The pessimist is right. The one differs from
the other as the light from the dark. Yet both are right. Each is
right from his own particular point of view, and this point of view is
the determining factor in the life of each. It determines as to
whether it is a life of power or of impoten
