Pear Friend and Fellow-Student:

Here is Lesson number two. You will receive one Lesson every second week
from us, there being twenty Lessons in all. In this second Lesson you will find
the first faint glimpse of the amazing Power of the God-Law. You will, at this
point, begin to see something of the immense possibilities lying in your own
hands. You will also begin to see the general direction in which I am leading
yQli. You will see that the Power involved in your life’s success and happiness
comes from the UNSEEN or SPIRITUAL Realm. You will also instantly
recognize the logic of what I am showing you.
Study it carefully. Read it over and over again. Don’t let a single day pass in
which this Lesson is not carefully read and absorbed. As you ponder over
these simple, yet dynamic truths, they will sink into your very being, and ere
long you will find a Power coming into your life through the Spiritual realm,
which Power and with which Realm you probably have had no previous ex­
perience. I can say to you however, that the Spiritual Realm is the most
important Realm of life. Truly the “things which are seen are temporal,
while the things which are UNSEEN are ETERNAL.” And we are here
dealing with UNSEEN and SPIRITUAL LAW. As such—it is ETERNAL
LAW. Be intense in your doing of the little mental exercises I have prescribed,
for although seemingly simple, they are dynamic—they are a part of the
God-Law—so do them—earnestly—honestly—and constantly, whenever
feasible.
Cordially your friend,

Dear Friend and Student:

In this Lesson I am going to show you just a few of the things possible to
YOU, and possible to YOU—NOW . The chances are many to one, that to
date you have never even suspected that many of the good things, of life
Page 2 A l —2
might be yours. You found yourself placed on this earth some years ago, and
you accepted life as it was given to you. You were handed certain cards when
you first came into being, and, to the best of your ability, you played those
cards in this game called LIFE. It probably has never dawned on you that if
you did not hold a W INNING HAND, you could draw other cards. It is my
happy privilege, however, to tell you that such is the case.
For life is a card game. You draw when you enter the game. And you play
accordingly. Most of us, however, seem to be laboring under the delusion that
whatever cards were first dealt us, are the only cards we can ever draw.
Such, however, is N O T the case. You may say that heredity enters into the
playing of this game of life. The “heredity” card may have been dealt you, and
you may not like it. Then perhaps the “circumstance” card was also dealt you.
Perhaps you don’t like that card either. The card of “poor education" may
also have fallen in front of you, and you don’t like that card either. Perhaps,
through no fault of your own, a “college” education was denied you. Well
I’m not so sure that you have missed too much through that—for “college'
bred” men are in every breadline, and if you trace history back, you are very
apt to find that those who have forged ahead to the greatest heights, were
either men of no “college” education, or men who achieved in spite of their
“college education.”
Many are the cards which may have been dealt you when you first entered
this game of life. You had nothing to say about these cards either. You did
not deal. You could do nothing else than accept the cards as the “dealer” gave
them to you. And to date, the chances are, you are highly dissatisfied with the
game. The “other fellow” seems to be having all the “luck” while you seem
to be always holding the “losing” hand. Well, in this Lesson my friend, let me
just point out to you a few of the things which may be accomplished by
YOU. And I mean YOU—whoever you are, who is reading this Lesson. For
never was a truer word spoken than this. You ARE the MASTER of your
fate. You ARE the captain of your soul. And if you go on in this game of life,
playing with inferior cards, it is simply because you want to. For THE CARDS
M AY BE CHANGED—remember that. And I have contracted w ith you
to show you how to change them.
I know how to show you that. And I do not know it just in an abstract way,
for I have PROVED TO MYSELF FIRST T H A T I DO KNOW THE
WAY. I KNOW THE LAW INVOLVED. And let me say to you with all
the earnestness at my command, that this great God'Law is no respecter of
persons. Have I made that clear? The mighty Creative God'Law of the uni'
verse, IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. Nor is the Power of that Law
limited. The only thing that keeps you from having an abundance of health,
wealth, and happiness-, is your ignorance of this mighty LAW. It’s not the
fault of the Law—but the fault of YOU. I am not blaming you, for I did not
know how the Law worked until I was 40 years of age. But I know now. And
so will you before you finish this course of instruction with me.
Now just a word about your religious persuasions, for I do not want to hurt
your feelings or tread on your religious toes. I may do so, but, if I do, it will
be only because your religious “persuasion” clashes with the truth as I know it
to exist. I think, however, that you are a broad enough man or woman to see
that no matter what system of religion you have had thrust upon you, or
A l—2 Page 3
have knowingly embraced, it has come far short of providing you with the
happiness, health and wealth, which things, you so much desire. For most of
our present systems of religion are based on fear. This is not our fault at all,
for they were built on fear. They all originated away back ages ago, when
the human race was a very fearful and superstitious race. Our forefathers
were brought up to “fear” God. They were told unless they “feared” God
they would either roast and fry in “hell-fire” or go through a session in “pur­
gatory.” And millions of good honest souls who could not accept that theory,
were burned alive at the stake—millions of them. That could not be done
today, however, for the human race is progressing. In fact, it has made more
progress the last 25 years than it had made in the previous 1,000 years. And,
as the race progresses, this rotten thing called “fear” is being taken by the
chroat and laid on its back, where it can do no more harm to humans.
“Fear” of God, is now out of the question. For any god that you need to be
afraid of, is no god for you. There is no such god in the first place, and even
if there were, you would not want him—would you? Most of that “fear”
proposition, however, is a relic of the dark ages, and is not believed in any
more. People are progressing past that stage. If you could put all fear out of
your life, my friend, there would be absolutely no limit to the heights to
which you could climb—none at all. But as long as that snake is lurking in
your make-up, you probably will be handicapped in your fight for the best
things in life. Let me tell you something else here, which is of vital importance
to your whole future. The very moment you are able to discard all FEAR,
you will find a “something” which will open up to you an entirely new vista
of life. It will thrill you. It will raise your hopes a million miles in the sky.
For you will begin to faintly realize the magnitude, not of any power within
you, but of the CREATIVE GOD-LAW OF THE UNIVERSE W HICH
IS ALL AROUND YOU, AND IN EXISTENCE FOR THE FULFILLING
OF YOUR EVERY RIGHT DESIRE.
Think that over for a little while, my friend— for that is EXACTLY the
fact governing all success and happiness. These blessings of life do not lie in
the fear realm at all. They lie in the realm in which man finds himself, when
he dismisses fear, and begins to learn who and what he really is. They are
found when a man or woman first realizes his or her VITAL CONNECTIO N
W ITH THE GOD-LAW existing here and now. That is where these good
things come from, and the Law itself is the Power which brings them into
manifestation. For when a human soul gets that first faint glimpse of the
God-Power at his disposal, a strange new consciousness takes complete pos­
session of that soul. A Power he, heretofore, knew nothing of will possess
him, and he will begin to realize that he is MASTER OF HIS O W N DESTINY
—C A PT A IN OF HIS O W N SOUL. I have on file many telegrams from
students who have awakened to that Power in their dwn lives. Last week the
mails delayed one of our Lessons to a student in Switzerland, and we received
a cable from him asking what had become of the Lesson. Telegrams have come
to us from many different places, telling us that a certain Lesson has not
arrived there on time—probably delayed in the mail. So anxious are these good
students of mine to learn more of this mighty Power, that MONEY SEEMS
TO BE NO OBJECT AND THEY DO N O T HESITATE ONE M O M EN T
ABOUT SENDING US A CABLE, EVEN FROM HALF-WAY AROUND
THE GLOBE. That is what a man or woman experiences when the God-Law
Page 4 A l—2
of health, success, and prosperity begins to make its Power known in the life.
And these things, my friend, are for you. All I ask is that you play the
game with me, and play it fairly and squarely. If you will do that, I promise
to show you the existence of the greatest Power this world has ever seen or
ever will see. And I promise further to show you how to apply this mighty
God-Law for success, happiness and health, in your own circumstances. Is
not that worth working for? Don’t you think that is worth playing the game
for? I do.
You have heard the story of the two brothers who were riding along a
country lane in a small car. They were on a visit to their mother who was
staying at a neighboring ranch. There was little traffic on that road, and
they did not expect to meet any other car. But flashing around a corner came
a big truck, upsetting the little car, and pinning the younger of the two
brothers under it. This little fellow was only eleven years old. The brother
with him was fourteen. Unheeding, the truck did not even stop to see what
damage it had done, and the elder brother found himself there, miles from
help, with his little brother pinned beneath the car.
What could he do?—There was no one near to help lift the car off
little Bennie. He tore his hair—he cried, and agony was written all over the
poor boy’s face at the thought of his little brother’s helplessness. Finally,
despair creeping over the face of the little fellow pinned under the car, he
said, “Billie, why don’t you try to lift the car off me?” “Oh, but I can’t lift
that whole car,” said Billie. “But you haven’t tried yet,” moaned little Bennie.
This seemed to bring Billie to his senses, for he said, “Bennie—I’ve just GOT
TO GET T H A T CAR OFF YOU.” Then with an agony of despair creeping
over him, he seized the car, and with a strength that seemed superhuman,
he LIFTED T H A T CAR OFF LITTLE BENNIE. Where the strength
came from he did not know. But it came.
This crude illustration will help to show you what I mean when I say to
you that the Great God'Law, in existence here and now, is abundantly power-
ful enough to put you where you should be, and will do so, IN THE VERY
M O M EN T YOU ARE IN EARNEST ENOUGH TO COMPLY W ITH
THE SIMPLE EASY CONDITIONS GOVERNING T H A T LAW. For
the first time in Billie’s life, he realized that there was a strange Power at his
disposal which he had known nothing about before. Something awakened him,
and in the stress of need, he did what he thought was impossible. And to you,
sitting around the table of life, and playing the game the best you know how,
I say that this same “something.” can also awaken you to your vast possibilities.
I say more than that. I say it WILL awaken you to your vast possibilities
and will begin doing that in the moment you W A N T TO BE AWAKENED.
So in these Lessons, my friend, be sure that you are in earnest. Be sure that
you mean business. Be sure that you are playing the game fairly and squarely
with me. A nd I promise you, your eyes will be opened, and you will thank
me from the bottom of your heart for ever calling this course of instruction to
your attention.
Let me remind you that this course of instruction is entirely different from
anything you have ever read before in your life. You have heard a lot about
“this” Power “within” and “that” Power “within,” so I don’t want you to
make the mistake of thinking that I am going to tell you to look within for
help, for I am going to do no such thing. There is no Power “within” you that
A l—2 Page 5
can help you climb to the top. Many thousands have thought there was,"but
on trying to find this Power, they find it conspicuous by its absence. The
theory is a beautiful one, the only trouble with it being that it does not work.
For the Power DOES N O T LIE W ITH IN , at all. IT LIES W ITHOUT.
It is in what I choose to call “THE GREAT W ITH O U T,” and as we travel
along this little road together for a few months, you will know full well that
what I am saying to you is the truth.
You will also know before we have traveled very far together that the
very best things in life are for YOU, if you ^ a n t them. I am sure of my ground
when I say to you that there is no height too great to be climbed, if you will
learn the secret of the Power of the God-Law operating for your benefit.
What is it you want to do? Just where do you want to climb? Just how happy
do you want to be? Well, Brother or Sister—it lies in your own hands, through
the knowledge and use of this mighty God-Law I am describing for you.
So at this point, it will be well _to suggest that you make up your mind
what you are going to be and do, and then be and do just exactly what you
want to be and do. It will be a good idea here to polish your backbone and
get it ready for action. For you are going to need it. M y backbone will not
help you—neither will yours, unless you use it. So shake yourself together
and make ready to start on the road which leads to health, wealth, and happi­
ness. For this road lies just a little bit ahead of you. And you will need your
spine, your muscle and your head all working together, to help you use the
God-Law I shall show you.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can just he easily on your
oars, trusting to some power or other to transport you on flowery beds of
ease to realms of health, wealth, and happiness. If you think that, you are
going to be badly fooled—I promise you that. But, if you really mean business,
and, if you really want to DO, then come along, for I can show you how to
utilize the greatest Power or Law the world has ever seen to help you do
what you want to do. It takes men and women to achieve. There is no place
in life for- a laggard. There is no place in life for a lazy man or woman. There
is no place in life for the shiftless. They never get anywhere and never will.
And, if it should be that you have been just a little bit on the “lazy" order
to date, then get down to “brass tacks,” clench your fists, grit your teeth,
and say, “By God, I’m going to do it.” I do not mean this phrase in any slangy
or profane manner at all. For, if you do it—if you do achieve— it will certainly
be by the God-Law and no other way. Remember this.
In other words, mere wishing will get you nowhere. The God-Law always
works where it is needed to work. But how can it work in your life, if you do
not want it to? You can take a magnet and try to make it pick up sawdust
until the crack of doom. And when it cracks you will not have made that
magnet lift .one grain of sawdust. But put some iron filings near that magnet
and see how quickly it gets busy. The law of magnetism is in that magnet.
You cannot see it—but it’s there just the same. It means nothing to the saw­
dust, however, for the law of magnetism DOES N O T WORK IN THE
CASE OF A M AGN ET AND SAWDUST. NEITHER DOES THE LAW
OF SUCCESS WORK IN THE LIFE OF A M A N WHO IS N O T ANX­
IOUS ENOUGH TO BE HELPED TO TRY AND HELP HIMSELF.
Such a man must first have the desire to be helped. He M UST FIRST COME
TO THE LAW AND RECOGNIZE ITS PRESENCE. Then—when that
Page 6 A l—2
has been done and when the desire to be helped is there, the LAW WILL
WORK, because it C A N work. Do you see that? The conditions have been
compiled with, and there is then no limit to the future of the man who so
complies with those simple conditions. For the only condition the God'Law
requires, is the one condition that you really W A N T THE LAW TO HELP
YOU. And that is probably your normal condition, is it not?
There are verv few men and women in the world who do not want to get
ahead. There are indeed few who do npt really desire to achieve things. There
are some, of course, but the chances are that you are not one of those; other'
wise you never would have enrolled for this course of instruction. So I am
taking it for granted that you really do desire and want to get ahead. You
really want health, you really want perfect happiness, and you really want
perfect success. All right— the conditions under which this God'Law works
have been met, so from now on we shall begin our climb up the road that
brings, at the end of it, the realization of these things. You probably wondered
a little at the little affirmation I had you repeat in the first Lesson. You may
have thought, well what good can that do me? If such a thought entered your
head, let me say to you here that in making that little affirmation, you were
beginning to use the most dynamic power you have ever tried to use. You
know absolutely nothing of the power behind that little exercise. You know
nothing of the power of such a thought. And I cannot blame you. You have
had no experience with such a thought, and you also look upon a thought as
just something that comes and goes through your head meaning nothing.
But say, friend, if you only knew now, what I know about the power of a
thought, or about the power of many thoughts, you would look with amaze'
ment on these little exercises, I assure you. If you could but faintly realize
what a thought really is—say—you would probably be up half the night
doing the little exercises I asked you to do. For let me say to you here that
a thought is one of the most dynamic tnings with which you have ever ex'
perimented. A thought is a thing, an actual thing. It can be weighed—you
did not know that, did you? But thoughts can be weighed, and that fact
certainly proves them to be things. BUT—and listen well to me here—
THOUGHTS ARE MORE T H A N THINGS—THEY ARE PART OF
THE DYNAM IC GOD'LAW I A M SHOWING YOU. Did you grasp
that? Read it again. Now read it again. Now lay this Lesson down for five
minutes and think about what I have just said to you. Go ahead—lay the
Lesson down on your knees, close your eyes, and try to realize that THOUGHTS
ARE PART OF THE MIGHTY GOD'LAW W HICH CREATED THIS
UNIVERSE MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO AND W HICH SUSTAINS
IT EVERY M O M EN T AND MORE TH A N T H A T , W HICH SUSTAINS
YOU W ITH IT.
Now you have the Lesson in your hand again, and perhaps the thing I
have just told you has opened your eyes a little. They will be opened many
times in this Course, my friend, I promise you that, for never before has this
God'Law been described and told about as I am dealing with it here. And
you probably can see now why it is that my Lessons went around the world
into 67 countries inside of a year. Just think of it—a thought—is a spiritual
power, and a part of the Creative God'Law responsible for every created
thing. In fact, if you can grasp this, let me tell you that THOU GHT IS THE
M ANIFESTATION OF THE GOD'LAW IN YOUR OW N LIFE. In
A l—2 Page 7
fact, there is NO OTHER WAY THE SPIRITUAL GOD-LAW C A N
OPERATE AND C O M M UNE W ITH YOU, IN YOUR WAKING
M OM ENTS, EXCEPT THROUGH THE POWER OF W H A T YOU
CALL A THOUGHT. We shall see later that thoughts are not what we
have to date supposed them to be. They are something far more potent than
that. To date, not much attention has been paid to “thoughts” but I assure
you, my friend, that we shall pay more attention to them from now on.
I shall show you a little later, the existence of a thinking “something” in
the atmosphere all around you. I shall show you that this “thinking some'
thing” comes from millions and probably billions of miles away from here. So
please accept this statement at face value and act accordingly. From this
moment on, I want you to check every thought that ever enters your mind.
And, more than that, I want you to EXERCISE A STRICT CENSORSHIP
OVER EVERY THOUGHT YOU EVER THINK. You say. “But Doctor
Robinson—can I do that?” You bet you can. You will HAVE TO if you go
very far with me, and, if you get very many of this world’s “ best things.”
But you will be glad to do it, for as you will see, there is no work entailed
at all in governing your thoughts. Not any. Some may say, “Yes— but Doctor
— thoughts come into my head and I can’t help that—how about that?” No—
you cannot help thoughts coming into your head, BUT YOU C A N PRE­
V EN T THEIR STAYING IN YOUR HEAD—can’t you?
O f course you can. And this is something you must do. I strongly suspect
that if you have not so much success in life, it is because you have never
thought “success.” You have had no reason to. You just naturally have been
playing the cards you were dealt when you sat in on the game, and so have
never even faintly suspected that you, by the exercise of any known Law,
could ever achieve success. So you never let any thought of success enter
into your head—did you? Well, we’ll change that from now on, for from this
moment I want you to exercise the very strictest censorship over EVERY
THOUGHT T H A T EVER ATTEM PTS TO BUILD A NEST IN YOUR
HEAD. A bird can light on your doorstep, but it doesn’t take you very long
to “shoo” it away, does it?
The same thing with a thought. In your last Lesson, which was the first
in this course, I gave you certain little things to do on retiring. You did not
know then just why I was doing that, did you? But you begin to see now—
don’t you? Now listen to me—tonight when you retire, I want you to relax
every muscle. Lie as limp as a rag in bed. Close your eyes. There always is,
in every man’s closed eyes, a certain area which, when you learn how to
find it, is the very thin veil between you and the God-Law of the Universe.
I may show you later how to penetrate that veil. This veil it was that Edison
penetrated a little, just before he died. You will remember that he exclaimed,
“It’s very beautiful over there.” This man, and incidentally hundreds of others,
have caught a faint glimpse of beyond the veil. And while it may take you
some time to get used to absolutely relaxing your body and just lying limp
as a rag, when you do learn to do that, you will not have so much trouble
in finding that “bright spot” I spoke to you about. Sometimes I think I should
call it a “white spot.” A t any rate, it will not be very long before you know
what it is, although if you have never attempted anything like this before,
it may be some time before you get that “white spot.” There is nothing
mysterious about this at all; nothing mystic, nothing “supernatural,” it is
Page 8 A l— 2
perfectly natural. In fact one of the most natural things I know of is for a man
to begin to realize that the Living God'Law is an actual thing which can be
contacted here and now by every normal man and woman.
Would you wish me to believe that this great God-Power has thrown this
universe with you and me on it, into space, and left us all here to shift for
ourselves? Would you ask me to believe that? No— my friend—that did not
happen. And this mighty Creative God-Law, not only put us here, BUT
STAYED HERE ITSELF W ITH US. And more than that, IT IS STILL
HERE W ITH US, W A ITING FOR A CHANCE TO DO FOR US W H A T ­
EVER RIGHT A ND PROPER THING WE NEED. Do you need wealth?—
the God-Law can give it to you. Do you need health?—the God-Law can give
it to you. Do you need happiness?— the God-Law can give it to you. You
would not attempt to tell me that it could not—would you? You would not
ask me to believe that the intelligence, capable of making such a scheme of
things as this beautiful world and yon beautiful heavens, could not give you
and me wealth, health, and happiness—would you? It would be useless for you
to tell me that, for my experience has been different. I KNOW BETTER.
And besides, if this mighty sustaining Intelligence—this mighty Creative
God-Law is SO CLOSE TO YOU T H A T YOU COULD N O T GET AW AY
FROM IT IF YOU W ANTED TO, do you not think it can more than give
you these things? You have never suspected before that such a power was
at your right hand—have you? Well it is, brother, and before we get through
with these Lessons you will know that it is. And what a difference that will
make to you.
You are at this point beginning to get a faint glimpse of the True Light as
it exists, and you can already see that it is more than likely that you, yourself
will be able to use this mighty God-Law. There is also coming to you as you
read this, renewed hope, as you begin to faintly grasp the staggering possibili­
ties which are yours, as you realize that it is possible for you to instantly
contact this mighty God-Law as it is. There is also coming to you now the
impression that I know how to lead you aright and you have mentally said
to yourself, “This fellow knows what he’s talking about.” And I assure you
I do. There is not one single thing that can keep you from either health,
wealth, or happiness, if you use this mighty Creative God-Law as it may be
used. Now that should make you certainly hopeful and should inspire you
to say, “I’ll play with Dr. Robinson in this course of instruction—I believe
he can help me.” A nd that is exactly what I want you to do. It’s all so wonder­
ful when one begins to realize that poverty and ill-health—and failure are
about to be kicked out of the door, is it not? It does not seem possible— does
it? And how happy it makes one feel to know that no matter who they are,
they can use, for their own health, wealth, and happiness, THE VERY
SAME GOD-LAW T H A T CREATED THEM AND GET IN TOLICH
W ITH THIS GOD-LAW INSTANTLY.
Now about- these thoughts and the pre-retiring exercise. Remember—
absolutely at rest. Every muscle lax. Just like a log of wood. Then—the
thoughts turned to the white area on the field of vision through the closed
eyes and a simple resting in that position. Keep your eyes on that “white
spot,” and over and over again, mentally repeat, “I A M FINDING THE
POWER OF THE LIVING GOD.” Direct that sentence into the very
depths of your mentality and right into the “white spot.” There is a scien-
A l—2 Page 9
tific reason for all this, but you just do it, remembering all the while that A
THOU GHT IS PA R T OF THE CREATIVE GOD-LAW, and you, yourself
are now using THIS MIGHTY GOD-LAW FOR THE FIRST TIM E IN
YOUR LIFE. In the morning, on awakening take your deep long breaths, and
right away, start this same line of thought going and KEEP IT UP. Do not
say it out loud, but just simply KEEP ALL NEGATIVE THOUGHTS O U T
OF YOUR HEAD BY KEEPING IT FILLED W ITH THIS THOUGHT.
Do you see what I am doing now? I don’t want you to ever let one single
thought of failure, ill-health or poverty enter your head. Never mind how
sick you are, never mind how poor you are, never mind how unhappy you are,
and never mind how big a failure you are. KEEP THIS ONE THOUGHT
IN YOUR M IN D T O THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER THOUGHTS
FOR THE NEXT TW O WEEKS.
REMEMBER, you are beginning to put into operation the spiritual GOD
LAW which can change all those things for you, and every day you keep this
one thought uppermost in your mind, that you are ONE DAY NEARER
THE REALIZATION OF YOUR DESIRES. Remember that. As you walk
down the street, throw out your chest, fill your lungs and keep the thought in
your head “I A M FINDING THE POWER OF THE LIVING GOD.”
Don’t bother your head at this time with who and what God is, you will find
that out later. Just now, keep this thought uppermost all the time, for it is a
fact. If there comes a time when you have the chance in your business hours,
get alone, close your eyes and with a relaxed body, look directly into the center
of your being and say this same affirmation of truth. Then, not only say it,
but realize it. And I’m here to say to you, my friend, that the power that is
to come into your life will knock you off your feet when you look back and
see the change which has taken place. REALIZE T H A T IS A FA C T T H A T
YOU ARE, EVEN NOW , VERY CLOSE TO THE POWER OF THE
LIVING GOD.
This realization will grow and grow and grow upon you as you progress
and with the realization will come into your life a Power, the God Power,
which can override every obstacle, can thrust aside every want and can
heal every condition of ill-health. There has never been known to exist a
Power which could even faintly begin to approach this Power of the Living
God. So do your study well, I know the same God-Law lifted me from out
of the quagmire of failure to brilliant success, and it didn’t take very long
to do it either. And the very methods you are using are the same ones I used.
Remember that. And I am happy as I leave you at the end of this second
Lesson, for I know that after you have read it and after you have begun to
realize your closeness to the greatest Power the world has ever seen, you will
be as happy as I am, for you will begin to see the actual realization of your
hopes and desires. For years perhaps you thought it could not be, and NOW
you know it can be.
It’s your happiness and success I am after, not mine. I have mine already,
you have yours to get, and through my teachings the way is to be shown you
and that makes me very happy for there is no more noble work in the world
than to show men and women their relationship to the Creative Law, at
work now as ever throughout the whole universe. For when men and women
begin to get a faint glimpse of that Power, their lives are revolutionized and
their hearts’ desires fulfilled.

 A t this point I must leave you until you receive the next Lesson. In the
next Lesson we shall deal with the story of the creation of man. It is astonish-
ing what a lot of light comes to a man when he begins to realize who and
what he actually is. A nd this you have never known yet. To date not a single
soul has put into print the story of the creation of man as you will learn it in
your next Lesson. All of these Lessons are charged with a dynamic spiritual
power and the next one I consider perhaps one of the most interesting and
important of them all. It has caused more comment than any other Lesson I
have ever written, so look forward to it. In the meantime, let the simple
little exercises become a part of your mental life. You can not even faintly
conceive at this point, what can be done through the power of concentrated
thought. Nor can you conceive of the dynamic power of the God-Law. And
all I am asking you here is that you do as I ask you to and begin to put this
mighty spiritual God-Law into action in your own life.
Do not waste any time in foolish conversations. Do not be vulgar or rude.
Let the best instincts and impulses in you come to the surface. Perhaps you
are a profane man and if you are let me suggest that this is very foolish and
unnecessary. Don’t do it. I am not speaking to you now as any “sky-pilot”
for I assure you I am not on that order. I am talking common sense and decency
to you and besides, the cleaner you are, both physically and mentally, the
more surely will the God-Law work in your life. As you progress, you will
find that this mighty producing LAW is becoming very real to you and at
that time you are not very apt to waste much time or many words in useless
and foolish conversation. Don’t try to sprout any wings on your shoulder
blades, for wings were meant to grow on a duck, not on a man. And you will
never have any wings growing on you either here or “hereafter.” Just be
decent while you are studying with me. Be clean, be honest, and in two weeks’
time I shall be with you again and take you one more step into this intensely
interesting and profitable study.
Cordially your friend,
Frank B. Robinson.

POINTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST IN LESSON 2.

1. If you are not satisfied with the cards dealt you in the game of life, you
may change them.
2. There is at your disposal, through the inherent God-Law, a wealth of
unseen and hitherto unrecognized power. You have never suspected that
power there, but under the stress of some emergency you have seen flashes
of it. T H A T UNSEEN POWER IS THERE FOR YOUR DAILY USE.
It is a “sleeping giant” and is in existence for YOUR ETERNAL SUCCESS
AND HAPPINESS. IF YOU USE IT FOR THOSE THINGS.
3. Before the God-Law can work, the conditions governing its operation
must be met BY YOU, if it is to operate in YOUR life. Remember that. What
is the one condition governing the operation of that God-Law?—desire for
these good things and a belief in the Law itself. You believe in the Intelligence
A l—2 Page 11
that created this world, do you not? Then recognize the fact that this same
power is STILL HERE AND STILL OPERATING wherever given a chance
to operate.
4. A thought is a “thing” and a very-powerful “thing” too. Let no negative
thoughts ever roost in your hair. Shove them out as fast as they come in. No
harm can be done by their just flitting through your mind, for you cannot
stop thinking if you want to. The harm comes from LETTING THESE
NEGATIVE FEAR THOUGHTS STAY THERE. So don’t allow them to
roost in your mind for one second. If you are faithfully doing the little mental
exercises I prescribe, there will be no room for the fear thoughts, for TW O
THOUGHTS C A N N O T OCCUPY THE SAME M IND A T THE SAME
TIM E. No two things can occupy the same place at the same time, you were
taught in school. That works in the thought realm. If you do not believe it,
try it some time. Try to think of two things at the same time.

These examination questions are for your benefit and you should know the
answers to all of them. If they are not clear to you, read your Lesson again and
again until they are clear.
1. In what respects does life resemble a card game?
2. What is the only thing that keeps you from having an abundance of
health, wealth, and happiness?
3. How does it come about that most of our present systems of religion
are based on fear?
4. When are the blessings of life first realized?
5. Does the Power that can help you lie within or without?
6. Name the only conditions that the God-Law requires.
7. Thoughts are more than things?
8. In what way can the Spiritual God-Law commune with you?
9. To what extent can you govern your own thoughts?
10. How do you prepare yourself for the exercise prescribed in the Second
Lesson?
11. What is that exercise?
12. What is the advantage of keeping oneself physically and mentally
