What is truth?

There is no physician like cheerful thought for dissipating the ills of the body; there is no comforter to compare with goodwill for dispersing the shadows of grief and sorrow. To live continually in thoughts of ill-will, cynicism, suspicion and envy is to be confined in a self-made prison-hole. But to think well of all, to be cheerful with all, to patiently learn to find the good in all—such unselfish thoughts are the very portals of heaven, and to dwell day by day in thoughts of peace toward every creature will bring abounding peace to their possessor.
James Allen, As a Man Thinketh, Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York, Effect of Thought on Health and the Body, 28-9
What is the great purpose of life in matter?
The great purpose of life in matter is to illumine matter with spirit.
The Law
Remember, as you think, so you are—in environment, appearance and in company!
You are what you think all day long.
Until you accept the fact that all negative thinking must always end in tears, you continue to create your own suffering.
Mindfulness
The mind is a creative instrument.
Thoughts are things—just as much as clouds or houses.
What you think, you create.
Watch your thoughts. Your thought is action.
Imagination
Imagination has great power.
Your imagination is one of the most efficient powers in nature.
You can create almost anything if you imagine it strongly enough—even joy and courage.
Think it.
Imagine it.
Create it.
Believe it.
Know—
It Is.
Change your thoughts, and you change your destiny.
So what is the secret of all secrets?
Begin with mind control, and control all else.
Are we creatures of fate?
We are not creatures of fate.
We are free to live our own lives.
Pray! Prayer is the affirmation by the soul of its unity with the One.

What are the basic principles of nature?

Do strange things happen?
When everything seems to happen at just the right time, then yes, strange things do happen.

Until your thought is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment.
What will form a new starting point for future growth?
Spiritual ideal, or a worldly object, whichever it is, steadily focus your thought upon the ideal or object which you have set before you. Now, having conceived of a legitimate purpose in your heart, set out to accomplish it. Make your purpose the centralising point of your thoughts. Make your purpose your supreme duty and devote yourself to its attainment. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if you fail again and again to accomplish your purpose, the strength of character gained will be the measure of your true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
Alexander Bassano (1829 – 1913)
What always leads to failure?
Thoughts of doubt and fear never accomplish anything, and never can. They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy, power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and fear creep in.
Alexander Bassano (1829 – 1913)
The will to do springs from the knowledge that we can do.
What are the great enemies of knowledge?
Doubt and fear are the great enemies of knowledge.
Alexander Bassano (1829 – 1913)
What is the direct result of your own thoughts?
All that you achieve, and all that you fail to achieve, is the direct result of your own thoughts.
Alexander Bassano (1829 – 1913)
Our suffering and our happiness are evolved from within.
As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.
Alexander Bassano (1829 – 1913)
You can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up your thoughts.

You can only remain weak, abject, and miserable by refusing to lift up your thoughts.

You are limited only by the thoughts which you choose.
You receive that which you earn; no more, no less.
There are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. Chance is not.

You are truly loved. You were created in love and love governs your entire existence.
If you are concerned that you may be getting things wrong, concerned about what truth is, what to believe, what not to believe, ask yourself, What would love do?
Follow your deep inner feelings; trust what feels good, for what feels good is the measurement of your success.
There are no rights or wrongs, but only meanderings along the path of experience towards that which fulfils, inspires and energises you. Enjoy life! Celebrate life! All is well with you and your world. Truly, it is.

What then is truth?
If something feels good, if it elevates your vision of yourself and of humanity, then that is truth.
Christ recognised faith as a great attribute of the human soul, and being aware of its power and magnitude, He said—
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto the mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible to you.
—Matt. 17:20
