The most powerful forces in the universe are the silent forces; and in accordance with the intensity of its power dos a force become beneficent when rightly directed and destructive when wrongly employed. This is a common knowledge in regard to the mechanical forces, such as stream, electricity, etc., but few have yet learned to apply this knowledge to the realm of mind, where the thought-forces (most powerful of all) are continually being generated and sent forth as currents of salvation or destruction.
At this stage of our evolution, we have entered into the possession of these forces, and the whole trend of our present advancement is their complete subjugation. All the wisdom possible to us on this material earth is to be found only in complete self-mastery, and the command “Love your enemies” resolves itself into an exhortation to enter here and now into the possession of the sublime wisdom by taking hold of, mastering and transmuting those mind forces to which we are now slavishly subject and by which we are helplessly borne, like a straw on the stream, upon the current of selfishness.
