No, I lead quite a full life, But my inner world of peace and beauty is my own -- yet fully, unhesitatingly, and gladly shared with anyone else who believes as I do, and who works within himself as I do work within myself, to find a happiness and a care-free world to our liking. At first it was not an easy thing to do. Many the time I almost gave up in the attempt in the first months and years. Thank God I did not allow myself to do so. It has meant constant battling not to let the apparent messiness of this world's negative attributes creep into that bright and shining inner world. One has to learn to take external things externally, without letting them gain foothold in that inner peace and beauty. One has constantly to search the writings of others, and his own mind and imagination, to find new and ever newer points of interest, and newer data on how best to build expandingly glorious world he envisions. One has to learn to pick and choose from the great mass of data available [[underline]]only[[end underline]] that which will withstand examination in the Light of Truth. One of the first things noticed by the seeker after inner peace, is a growing adaptability to his surroundings; an ability to overcome the many new tempests which constantly arise to confront him. He learns how to adjust himself both to the pleasures and to the pains that came to him. He soon learns not to let the little things annoy him unduly -- to ask himself, "will that make any material difference to me in a year or ten years? And if not, why should I let it get me into a tizzy now?" It is here that the principle of Time-Binding comes in most effectively, for by it he has found that, although many things of an ill nature may happen to him from time to time, the race moves on: Man marches always forward! I said a short time ago, that it is not only material things one should give, but spiritual things as well. Here are a few samples of each, and some good examples of spreading good cheer to others -- and reaping a bountiful harvest for yourself. You know, this spreading good cheer is well exemplified in the modernization of that old adage -- "You cast your bread upon the waters, and it comes back to you as sandwiches!" And is that true! Try sometimes, when a pan-handler asks you for a dime, taking him to a restaurant with you, instead, and getting him a good meal, then to a rooming house or hotel for a night's lodging for him, being sure to leave something wherewith he can get a good breakfast in the morning. You'll be surprised and pleased with the glow of good cheer you find welling up inside yourself at such a simple act. You will give your- 12
