I answer yes,—­of course it is possible.  The secret of it all is to resolve upon a firm attitude and maintain it.  If you encourage thoughts of fear, hesitation, disease, trouble, decay, incompetency, failure and feebleness, you at once give an impetus to the disintegrating forces within you to begin their work—­and you gradually become ill, timorous, and diseased in mind and body.  If, on the contrary, your thoughts are centred on health, vitality, youth, joy, love and creativeness, you encourage all the revivifying elements of your system to build up new nerve tissue and fresh brain cells, as well as to make new blood.  No scientist has ever really discovered any logical cause why human beings should die—­they are apparently intended to live for an indefinite period.  It is they themselves who kill themselves,—­even so-called ‘accidents’ are usually the result of their own carelessness, recklessness or inattention to warning circumstance.  I am trying to put all this as simply as I can to you,—­there are hundreds of books which you might study, in which the very manner of expression is so abstruse and involved that even the most cultured intelligence can scarcely grasp it,—­but what I have told you is perfectly easy of comprehension,—­the only difficulty lies in its practical application.  To-night, therefore, and for the remainder of the time you are here, you will enter upon certain tests and trials of your will-force—­and the result of these will prove whether you are strong enough to be successful in your quest of life and youth and love.  If you are capable of maintaining the true attitude,—­if you can find and keep the real centre-poise of the Divine Image within you, all will be well.  And remember, that if you once learn how to govern and control the atomic forces within yourself, you will equally govern and control all atomic forces which come within your atmosphere.  This gives you what would be called by the ignorant ‘miraculous’ power, though it is no miracle.  It is nothing more than the attitude of Spirit controlling Matter.  You will find yourself not only able to govern your own forces but also to draw upon Nature for fresh supplies—­the air, the sunshine, the trees, the flowers, will give you all they have to give on demand—­and nothing shall be refused to you.  ’Ask, and ye shall receive—­seek, and ye shall find—­knock, and it shall be opened unto you.’  Naturally the law is, that what you receive you must give out again in an ungrudging outflow of love and generosity and beneficence and sympathy, not only towards mankind but to everything that lives—­for as you are told—­’Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down and shaken together and running over, shall men give into your bosom.  For with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.’  These sayings of our greatest Master are heard so often that they are considered by many people almost trite and commonplace,—­but they hold a truth
