REGENERATION MEANS BUILDING A NEW
MENTALITY; that is, creating a new soul in place
of your present one. It does
not mean merely improving your present self - it means
producing (through the
power of God, of course), a new self.
If you do this, everything else in
your life will rapidly change for the better.
Your health will improve. Your
appearance will improve because, as you know, the
body is but the reflection
of the soul. The world around you will be changed because
you will be seeing
it through a new and better personality. Other people will become
much more
attractive and friendly to you, and this will be because your soul will
be
filled with peace, and therefore you will radiate peace, and other people will
get it intuitively. Everybody likes peace and harmony and they are attracted to
any source from which it comes.
If your heart really is filled with
peace "nothing shall by any means hurt you."
But, of course, your heart must
be filled with peace and to bring this about you
must desire it more than
anything else. This will mean forgiving everyone and harboring
good will
toward all.
Naturally you cannot radiate peace if you do not first
possess it within yourself.
You cannot radiate anything from the outside. To
radiate any quality, that quality
must be within yourself. Hypocrites
sometimes try to radiate qualities which they
do not possess or feel, but
they always fail to get results in a very short time.
True peace of mind
is the short cut to regeneration which requires a fundamental
change in
ourselves.
The Master said, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto
you
People all across the world still regard
the writings of Emmet Fox as a tangible
source of help. It is
seventy three years since his journey to the
other side, and
his teachings are as powerful today as they were when he
served wholeheartedly as
the minister of the Church of the Healing Christ in
New York City. His message -sooner
or later you will have to put God first in
your life, and your own true spiritual
development must become the only thing
that really matters.
Herman Wolhorn, Emmet's dearest friend and associate
once described Emmet as "a
man always gathering wisdom from every area of
life." Fox told his friend that there
is a lesson in everyone we meet and in
everything we do. Emmet Fox drew wisdom from
all areas of life, from people,
experiences and great writings. In celebration of
Emmet Fox we share some of
the early writers words of wisdom.
A note to Dr. Fox from Mildred Mann:
Attending the class lectures each week is indeed a blessing. Thank you for
your
teachings about the Law. Through your words I have found new insights
and have come
to know that there is a glorious Presence ever sending a divine
radiance into life
every moment of everyday. Thank you also for the
opportunity of reflection and transformation.
MM
The Law and You Mildred Mann
The
Law is the impersonal aspect of God, sometimes referred to as the One Power,
and sometimes as Principle. It is that which keeps everything in the universe
moving
in its appointed place, at its appointed time. There is nothing on
this planet,
including humanity, which is not completely affected by that
Law. Until we learn
how to work with it, to use it consciously, we are in
'bondage to it. Like any
other law, it has always been, and it will always
be. The law of gravity always
existed, but we did not make conscious use of
it until Newton discovered it. The
law of electrical discharge always
existed, but Benjamin Franklin had to discover
it before we could apply it.
The Great Cosmic Law has always been, and always there
have been a few who
studied it, understood it, and used it.
The Cosmic Law, as it applies to
the human being, is threefold. It consists of the
Law of Growth, the Law of
Creative Imagination and the Law of Reciprocal Blessing.
Under the Law of
Growth, we learn that the motive power of the Law is Thought. Since
the Law
is impersonal, it is not concerned with the type of Thought. It will bring
to
pass a manifestation corresponding to whatever Thought influenced it. Feeling
must accompany thought in order to have the Law work, and we must watch our
thoughts
and emotions, appraising them for what they are. We realize that we
can change our
thought and thus influence the Law to bring events to pass in
accordance with that
change. We put ourselves on a diet - a mental diet. We
make sure that we are thinking,
speaking and acting positively, all through
the day, to the best of our ability,
and we take spiritual medicine once a
day, at least, and preferably twice a day,
in the form of meditation. After a
while, we find many things have changed, within
as well as without. We are
far more perceptive, far more certain of ourselves. We
know things which turn
out to be amazingly right, and we find confidence in the
ability to handle
our lives. We are using the Law consciously.
Under the Law of Creative
Imagination, we learn to speak the Word for ourselves,
and for others. The
Bible tells us, "Thou shall decree a thing, and it shall become
established
unto thee." The Word is the Perfect Idea behind everything that is in
existtence.
We call for that Perfection by seeing it clearly, stating
it simply, and expecting the Law to bring it forth, and it does.

One of Emmet Fox's early mentors was J.
Porter Mills a Chicago physician and metaphysician.
Dr. Fox admired his
teachers, and loved them for the Truth they shared, but he never
considered
them infallible. As long as he could learn from them, he remained their
student, but when he reached the level of their knowledge he went on to study
deeper.
He was not a follower. He belonged to no organization, and was bound
by no creed.
Often he saw himself in imagination, standing on a platform,
filled with vitality
and magnetism, encouraging and inspiring others by both
his teachings and his own
examples of demonstration. As his vision clarified
they became realities. He brought
to hundreds of thousands of people an
understanding and technique for prayer and
the conviction that God was Life,
Love and Truth.
GOD is Health - Dr. J. Porter Mills
Affirmation - Joseph Murphy
"God is the source of my supply.
His riches flow to me freely, copiously, and abundantly.
All my financial and other needs are met at every
moment of time and point of space;
there is always a divine surplus."

Evolving -
Emmrt Fox
One of
Dr. Fox's frequent expressions was "Every day in every way, we are continually
evolving." "As spiritual beings we continue to evolve," he would say that the
evolutionary
process includes trials, errors, personal roadblocks,
opportunities, as well as
joyful events. He believed that every experience
we encounter, every friendship
and relationship we share, every employment
position or business connection we come
upon, and every insight we receive,
offers us the opportunity to grow and unfold.
He spoke of man as, "a work in
progress;" growing and evolving every minute of
every day, to be that person
he or she was meant to be. Dr. Fox believed that all
seeming setbacks were
stepping stones to a deeper awareness of the Divine Presence within.
Together.
Emmet Fox never felt disconnected from family
members even though he knew they did
not understand his New Thought
philosophy. He taught that any sense of separation
is an illusion. In God's
perfect love, we are one. We are united in Spirit, because
we are all created
by God. Emmet Fox saw beyond different opinions, political ideologies,
and
beliefs. He reinforced the underlying unity connecting all people.
The History &
Destiny of the U.S.
The History &
Destiny of the United States. The Mystery of the American Money was
the title
of a lecture delivered by Emmet Fox in New York City and in Denver, Colorado
in 1932. The booklet written with much enlightenment was ahead of its time. In
the
writing Dr. Fox prophesied. And that prophecy was fulfilled when the U.
S. Government
issued a new dollar bill carrying both sides of the Great Seal.
This writing by Emmet Fox was so profound that it was referred to in the
1930's
by William H. Woodin, Secretary of the Treasury and close friend to
President Franklin
Roosevelt. Also quotes taken from the essay were made by
Amadeo Pietro Giannini,
the founder of the Bank of America. We recently
learned that parts of this Emmet Fox lecture also made its way into one of the
4th of July speeches delivered by President Gerald Ford.
