Personal Development
One may hardly glance at the news of a day's events without seeing
a report of some business, industrial or financial merger, bringing
under one management enormous resources and thus creating great
power.
One day it is a group of banks; another day it is a
chain of railroads; the next day it is a combination of steel plants, all
merging for the purpose of developing power through highly
organized and co-ordinated effort.
Knowledge, general in nature and unorganized, is not POWER; it is only potential power-the material out of which real power may be developed. Any modern library contains an unorganized record of all the knowledge of value to which the present stage of civilization is heir, but this knowledge is not power because it is not organized.
Every form of energy and every species of animal or plant life, to
survive, must be organized. The oversized animals whose bones
have filled Nature's bone-yard through extinction have left mute but
certain evidence that non-organization means annihilation.
From the electron-the smallest particle of matter - to the largest star
in the universe: these and every material thing in between these two
extremes offer proof positive that one of Nature's first laws is that of
ORGANIZATION.
Fortunate is the individual who recognizes the importance of this law and makes it his business to familiarize himself with the various ways in which the law may be applied to advantage. The astute businessman has not only recognized the importance of the law of organized effort, but he has made this law the warp and the woof of his POWER.
Without any knowledge, whatsoever, of the principle of mind chemistry, or that such a principle exists, many men have accumulated great power by merely organizing the knowledge they possessed. The majority of all who have discovered the principle of mind chemistry and developed that principle into a MASTER MIND have stumbled upon this knowledge by the merest of accident; often failing to recognize the real nature of their discovery or to understand the source of their power.
This author is of the opinion that all living persons who at the present time are consciously making use of the principle of mind chemistry in developing power through the blending of minds, may be counted on the fingers of the two hands, with, perhaps, several fingers left to spare.
If this estimate is even approximately true the student will readily see that there is but slight danger of the field of mind chemistry practice becoming overcrowded.
