  • Mind Conditioning: Prior to expecting faith, one must condition their mind through self-discipline and positive action. This involves introspection and examining one's intangible assets (faith).

  • The Power of Faith: Faith can accomplish what wealth cannot. Money without faith is inert; enduring faith is a powerful force. Discover the abundance of faith within oneself.

The Importance of Experiences

  • The Search for Faith: Finding faith involves immersing oneself in nature, observing its order and design (trees, acorns, ferns, water). This reveals the presence of a greater intangible intelligence.

  • Lessons from Nature: Observing elements like water and stones reveals the existence of a higher intelligence manifested in natural order and design. The sun, water and earth show dependence and interrelation.

  • The Sermon of Water: Water exhibits ceaseless service, purification, and an embodiment of life's processes. This experience highlights intangible intelligence.

  • The Tiny Pebble: A pebble, though seemingly simple, represents a universe of ceaseless energy. This emphasizes intangible values over material wealth.

Applying Faith

  • Fundamentals of Faith: Building faith requires a definite purpose, extra effort, a Mastermind alliance, a positive mind, recognizing adversity's benefits, daily affirmations, recognition of a higher intelligence, and acknowledging the oneness of humanity.

  • Faith, Definiteness and Action: Faith empowers, inspires, and is action-oriented, translating desire into reality and helping in recognizing favorable opportunities.

  • Examples of Applied Faith: Various historical figures (Edison, Ford, Columbus, Helen Keller) exemplified faith through setbacks and obstacles, turning apparent defeat into motivation.

Building Faith through Experience

  • Human Progress rooted in Faith: Human progress is not accidental but results from applied faith by individuals. The development of the American way of life exemplifies this.

  • The Power of a Positive Mental Attitude: Choosing faith over fear is crucial; those who succeed prepare their minds through positive actions and courageous decisions rooted in self-discipline and faith.

Discovering Inner Power

  • The Power Within: This inner power is available to all, is not limited by social standing or external circumstances. It manifests through belief and action.

  • The Importance of "Active Faith": Active faith, not passive belief, is essential for realizing one's desires and transforming experiences.

  • Challenges and Emergencies: Emergencies and challenges often bring individuals to reconsider their beliefs, potentially revealing inner resources when one chooses faith over fear.

Specific Examples
