FOREWORD 
 
 The following poems are purely inspirational, 
 the direct result of light gained thru taking a 
 course of psychological lessons from Harry 
 Gaze in April, 1922. Previous to that time I 
 had never even thought of writing poems. I 
 pass them on just as they came, with the hope 
 of imparting to others the same joyous con- 
 sciousness gained by myself thru the applica- 
 tion of constructive thoughts. 
 
 With love to all, 
 
 Sincerely yours, 
 
 EVE BRAZIER.

A DEDICATION TO HARRY GAZE 
 PSYCHOLOGIST

 The Pioneer 
 
 Oh Harry! you're a wonder; 
 You give us pure delight. 
 You take despair away from man 
 And fill him full of light. 
 What a pioneer you've been 
 In this psychology; 
 How glorious the message is, 
 We need but "Gaze" and see. 
 
 With boldness and with courage, 
 
 You've shown how well it pays 
 
 To follow in His footsteps, 
 
 To chant the song of praise, 
 
 Constructive thoughts, constructive words, 
 
 This is your song of glee 
 
 And yet, you say, you do not sing, 
 
 Oh, Harry, fie on thee.

 A Vision 
 
 Today I have caught a vision, 
 
 My Soul has been set free, 
 
 We live in a perfect universe 
 
 Of rhythm and harmony. 
 
 The world is throbbing with music, 
 
 With joyous ecstasy, 
 
 The ethers are rich in promise 
 
 To humanity when set free. 
 
 Oh, come! open wide the window, 
 Let your soul be filled with glee, 
 Rejoicing in the promise 
 Of the glorious things to be. 
 Let your mind be filled with gladness, 
 Let your body be pure and strong, 
 Open wide your ears and listen 
 To the wonderful joyous song. 
 
Now I See 
 
 In Love With Me 
 
 I want to be in love with me 
 
 As the years go gaily by, 
 
 To respect myself, be true to myself 
 
 And look myself straight in the eye. 
 
 To have thoughts so kind, pure, and true 
 
 That others as well as I 
 
 May look into myself and see the blue 
 
 Of a serene, unclouded sky. 
 
 I want to be in love with you 
 
 As the years go passing by. 
 
 To know we live in a Friendly world, 
 
 United, beneath one sky. 
 
 And you, my brother, are basking 
 
 In the warmth of the same good sun; 
 
 In breathing, living, and feeling 
 
 \Ye are equal, all as one. 
 
8 . Now I See 
 
 Be Kind 
 
 So many dogmas, creeds there are 
 
 Wrapping us about, 
 
 It seems almost impossible 
 
 To break them and get out. 
 
 But, once we break the crusted shell 
 
 As does the butterfly, 
 
 Freed are we from thought of hell 
 
 Almost could we fly. 
 
 So buoyant, light and gay are we, 
 No longer in a rut, 
 We feel as does the busy bee 
 When with honey-glut, 
 Contented, to have done our best, 
 To know what's needed here 
 Is to "Be Kind" and always wear 
 A face of radiant cheer. 
 
Noiv I See 
 
 Thought Power 
 
 A thought's a thing, vital, living, 
 With a promise sure and true. 
 What you're sending out today, dear, 
 Will boomerang back unto you. 
 Shall you like it? that depends now 
 On its texture, false or true. 
 Watch your thought, and have it building 
 Finer, better life for you. 
 
 There's an army of construction 
 Working in you all the time, 
 Carrying out your smallest orders, 
 Whether wrong, or great and fine. 
 Make yourself a trusted leader, 
 Issuing commands so right 
 That your army's always victor, 
 No matter how or where the fight. 
 
10 Ncnv I See 
 
 The Master 
 
 With absolute assurance 
 
 His promises are made; 
 
 There is no compromising, 
 
 No meaning you can shade. 
 
 "Verily ! Verily !" says He unto you, 
 
 "He that believeth on me 
 
 These works shall also do." 
 
 Yea, these, and even greater, 
 
 His promise doth contain, 
 
 All power for perfect healing, 
 
 True freedom from all pain, 
 
 He that believeth on me 
 
 Will taste the joy supreme 
 
 Of Oneness with the Father 
 
 In service will be keen, 
 
 And he will know the glory 
 
 With Christ the perfect key 
 
 Of the wondrous resurrection 
 
 Taking place in you and me. 
 
Nmv I Sec 11 
 
 Abundance 
 
 I went out by the shore one day 
 
 And sat down by the sea. 
 
 How foolish of you to cry for more, 
 
 A voice said unto me. 
 
 Try to count the sands on the shore, 
 
 Measure the depth of the sea; 
 
 "Do you think I'd be so liberal here 
 
 And leave a lack for thee?" 
 
 I went for a walk in a beautiful place 
 
 Where flowers and oak trees grew. 
 
 Said the Oak: Greetings, sister; look at me; 
 
 Every year I am made anew. 
 
 Said the perfectly lovely perfumed flowers : 
 
 We just trust and know 
 
 The sun and the rain, the dew and the earth 
 
 Are helping us to grow. 
 
12 Now I See 
 
 Exaltation 
 
 Under stress of great emotion 
 You can do a lot of good, 
 If you seize those very moments 
 To inspire your soul with food. 
 Thoughts of courage, life, ambition, 
 Desire to be a great success : 
 These are made a vital factor 
 Under great emotions stress. 
 
 That's the time when your subconscious 
 Is most sensitized, and you 
 Can paint therein the picture 
 Of the thing you want to do. 
 So seize these precious, vital ^moments, 
 Stamp them with desire's keen edge; 
 Know that interest you .will gather 
 On the realization of your pledge. 
 
Now I See 13 
 
 The Silence 
 
 How perfect is Thy wondrous love, 
 
 Enfolding us so sweet, 
 When in the golden silence hour 
 
 With Thee we find retreat. 
 Thy rich ideas Thou giv'st us, 
 
 Thy gold of pure alloy, 
 Thou pour'st out Thy health supreme, 
 
 Our souls are filled with joy. 
 
14 Now I See 
 
 The Purpose of Life 
 
 To express Thee from within out,' 
 To live by "Faith," free from doubt, 
 To know my part of the eternal plan 
 Is, to be a friend to every man, 
 With eye single to the good. 
 Calm, serene, unchained by mood, 
 To be alive, alert, and free, 
 In sweet communion Lord with Thee. 
 
Now I See 15 
 
 Forgiveness 
 
 Forgive me, dear; Oh! can't you hear 
 
 The love that's in that cry? 
 The longing that's expressed therein, 
 
 The hope that you'll deny 
 A need for condemnation, 
 
 That only will you see 
 The beautiful atonement 
 
 Of love they're bringing thee. 
 
 "Forgive them, Father, for they 
 
 Know not what they do." 
 How loving was the Master, 
 
 How very well He knew. 
 Had they really known Him 
 
 As Master, Lord, and King, 
 They would have crowned, instead 
 
 Of crucifying Him. 
 
16 Now I See 
 
 Praise 
 
 Praise yourself, your neighbor 
 
 And every living thing. 
 In this way you're inviting 
 
 The Lord to enter in. 
 Every word you utter 
 
 With a ring of praise 
 Is enthroning Him as Master 
 
 In all your thoughts and ways. 
 
 We all respond to praise 
 
 Like flowers to the sun, 
 Showing forth so many beauties 
 
 Where before we saw but one. 
 Above all, praise the little ones, 
 
 Each little child we know 
 Is eager for our loving praise 
 
 To help them truly grow. 
 
Noiv I See 17 
 
 Trust 
 
 Oh! the joy there is in trusting, 
 
 Trusting yourself, and the rest, 
 Always looking for the good, 
 
 Knowing that each one is blest 
 With a power that lives within, 
 
 Longing, waiting to express 
 Something beautiful and perfect 
 
 That will quiet their unrest. 
 
 Let us cultivate a trust 
 
 In the power within. 
 We shall not fail, stagnate, or rust 
 
 With "It" to help us win. 
 Win we must, if God we trust, 
 
 That's absolute and sure; 
 He always gives with measure full 
 
 What we, in trust, ask for. 
 
18 Now I See 
 
 Visualization 
 
 Have you the picture in your mind 
 
 Of what you wish to achieve? 
 If not, then draw one quickly 
 
 And know, you must believe 
 In the power of Mind to build exact 
 
 The plan given it by man, 
 Just as a building rises from 
 
 An architectural plan. 
 
 First the idea, then the sketch, 
 
 Then the plan complete. 
 Out in the world of cause and effect 
 
 The workers next you'll meet. 
 Carry your plan with you, 
 
 Have its specifications met, 
 Then know its concrete duplicate 
 
 Is just what you will get. 
 
Now I See 19 
 
 The Teacher 
 
 Today I ask Thy blessing, Lord, 
 
 For teachers that I know 
 Teachers kind, wise, and true, 
 
 Who seem to overflow 
 With inspiration fresh and new, 
 
 With courage and with zest, 
 To so impart their knowledge 
 
 They bring out their pupils' best. 
 
 One there is, I have in mind, 
 
 She took a girl of mine 
 And filled her with desire to be 
 
 A teacher most sublime. 
 By example of right judgment, 
 
 Wisdom, love, and truth, 
 She stood there at the crossroads 
 
 Pointing aright to youth. 
 
20 Naiv I See 
 
 The Invisible Friend 
 
 Have you a longing for a friend? 
 
 Know that he is near, 
 Not visible to the naked eye, 
 
 But close to you, my dear- 
 Nearer even than breathing, 
 
 Closer than hands or feet, 
 With companionship so tender 
 
 Your every need to meet. 
 
 The beauty of this friendship 
 
 Surpasseth any other, 
 Giving more responsiveness 
 
 Even than a lover- 
 Bringing the fruit of spirit, 
 
 Stilling your unrest, 
 Giving you love abundant, 
 
 Making you truly blest. 
 
Now I Sec 21 
 
 Subconscious Mind 
 
 Subconscious Mind! how wonderful 
 
 The treasures it doth hold, 
 Memories of plays, songs, 
 
 Stories we've been told; 
 Pictures, scenes, taken in 
 
 With the conscious vision, 
 All stored up in the great within 
 
 Through conscious Mind's transmission. 
 
 How perfectly it doth obey 
 
 The conscious Mind's command! 
 It knows no controversy, 
 
 It voices no demands. 
 It carries out quite logically 
 
 Ideas to their conclusion, 
 So with right thought from conscious Mind 
 
 There's wonderful transfusion. 
 
22 Now I See 
 
 Victory 
 
 Today the song of victory 
 
 Comes clearly unto me. 
 I see us really living 
 
 From Illusion's snare set free. 
 We have been like little ones, 
 
 Terribly afraid 
 Of shadows cast upon the wall 
 
 Which we ourselves had made. 
 
 Oh! we made strange shadows, 
 
 Grotesque and ugly, too; 
 But now I see them blotted out 
 
 And clearly comes to view 
 A vision of us so radiant, 
 
 A picture of earth so fair, 
 Immune are we from shadow 
 
 Across our pathway there. 
 
Now I See 23 
 
 Healing 
 
 "The All Enfolding Love of God 
 
 Casts out every fear/' 
 This perfect thought will make as naught, 
 
 Thought of sickness here; 
 For when this thought is finely wrought 
 
 Into the mind and soul, 
 Bodily ills will disappear, 
 
 Dissolved by perfect whole. 
 
 Holiness means whole-I-ness 
 
 Of Soul, Mind, and Body; 
 The Comforter, the truth within, 
 
 Love better than a hobby. 
 Forget about the transient ills 
 
 That try to claim attention; 
 Voice glorious life, instead, and see 
 
 That ills vou do not mention. 
 
24 Now I See 
 
 Constructive Words 
 
 Swift as a bird on the wing 
 Is the joy that a word can bring, 
 Filling us with good cheer 
 When all seemed dark and drear; 
 Lifting us out of the mire, 
 Sweeping away the desire 
 To brood, and let despair 
 Our higher thought ensnare. 
 
 Life-giving words ! let's send them 
 Forth with vital health to men, 
 Restoring, building, boosting, 
 Making the song we sing 
 Inspire to richer living; 
 Let's have the joy of giving, 
 And in the giving, truly find 
 We've healed ourselves thru being kind. 
 
Now I See 25 
 
 Success 
 
 How very meteoric, 
 
 They say, was his success ! 
 But if they'd seen what I have seen 
 
 They'd know why he was blest. 
 He saw himself a leader, 
 
 Thought of it day and night, 
 Denied himself, applied himself 
 
 With brains, and all his might. 
 
 And every day he listened 
 
 To the 'Voice" that spoke within; 
 
 He was guided by it rightly, 
 Always was lead to win. 
 
 Now it's all clear sailing- 
 He and success are chums; 
 
 To those who truly win her, 
 She hands the choicest plums. 
 
26 Now I See 
 
 Faith 
 
 Oh! the wonderful power of "Faith." 
 
 Without it you cannot be 
 Calm and serene, walking in peace 
 
 Amidst humanity. 
 Take it to thy heart and see 
 
 The vision it will bring: 
 Your forces in command will be 
 
 Of a sure, unfailing King. 
 
 Is thy body ill? 
 
 Dos't call a doctor in? 
 Without thy "faith" his medicines 
 
 Small ease or comfort bring. 
 Faith will make your pathway smooth. 
 
 Ease your bed of pain, 
 All your troubles will it lose, 
 
 Make victory your gain. 
 
Now I See 27 
 
 Creation 
 
 Each man his own creator. 
 
 Does that sound good to you? 
 Each one with ability 
 
 To make himself anew. 
 For in truth we are creating 
 
 Our own environment, 
 With careless thought or watchful, 
 
 With good or bad intent. 
 
 Come, let us be creating 
 
 Finer, better lives; 
 Let's join hands in service, 
 
 And be with Nature wise. 
 Then finally win reward deserved 
 
 Of good environment, 
 Evolving, upward growing, 
 
 Our souls filled with content. 
 
28 Now I Sec 
 
 Life 
 
 Life! how glad I am 
 
 My mother gave me birth, 
 And let me get acquainted 
 
 With thee upon this earth. 
 Some claim they are weary, 
 
 Would really like to die 
 And vanish to a heaven 
 
 Somewhere up in the sky. 
 
 I want no better heaven 
 
 Than life right here can be, 
 With love, peace, joy and power 
 
 And deep tranquillity. 
 Those who find not heaven 
 
 In and around them here 
 Will very disappointed be 
 
 In some other sphere. 
 
Nozv I See 29 
 
 Understanding 
 
 Lord, do I understand aright 
 Thou art with us day and night- 
 Ready to still the noisy din, 
 Waiting patiently within 
 There with message plain and clear, 
 Whenever trouble hovers near, 
 Showing us the perfect way 
 Of steering thru a threatening day? 
 
 Yes, child! I am always there, 
 Willing to make thy skies more fair; 
 Always longing to impress 
 Myself upon thy consciousness; 
 But you do not let me out; 
 Frantically you rush about, 
 In excitement, pleasure bent, 
 Missing thereby true content. 
 
30 Noiv I Sec 
 
 Service 
 
 Oh God! how beautiful Thou art, 
 
 How wondrous are Thy ways. 
 Thy glorious works to me impart 
 
 Desire to chant Thy praise. 
 Each day brings a treasure new 
 
 That hitherto I missed. 
 How I rejoice to catch the view 
 
 Of something more you've kissed. 
 
 Oh Father, Mother, Loving God! 
 
 Thou'rt everything to me. 
 May I always have the job 
 
 Of voicing praise to Thee. 
 How blest am I in knowing clear 
 
 Thy love fills all of space. 
 How good to know Thy presence dear 
 
 Gives life to every place. 
 
Now I See 31 
 
 Love 
 
 Love is the perfect essence 
 
 Of all good diffused 
 Throughout the universe. 
 
 By wireless it is used ; 
 We are living Radios. 
 
 Get the message *' Love" ; 
 Fly it out by word of mouth. 
 
 Like a pure white dove. 
 
 Absorb it in our thought world, 
 
 Watch it melt away 
 Clouds dark and threatening, 
 
 That seemed to voice decay. 
 Let it fill our heart and soul, 
 
 Mind and body, too; 
 Then shall we sing with joyous song 
 
 44 Love hath made us anew 7 .'' 
 
32 Now I See 
 
 Radiance 
 
 Oh, but I want to radiate, 
 
 To throb and pulse and beat 
 In perfect unison with Thee, 
 
 With joyous rythm greet 
 The rising of the sun, 
 
 The glory of the day, 
 The quiet beauty of the night, 
 
 With stars to light our way. 
 
 Oh, I want to shine Thee forth 
 
 With radiance sublime, 
 Showing here and there a light 
 
 By which all may climb 
 Up! Up! away from fear, 
 
 And other man-made things, 
 Into the realms of radiant joy 
 
 Where every creature sings. 
 
Now I See 33 
 
 Friends 
 
 Methinks, how good it is to spend 
 An evening with true friends ; 
 
 To hear the cheering repartee 
 When the party ends. 
 
 You laugh, talk, exchange a tho't, 
 And richer grow thereby. 
 
 It's good to see the love that beams 
 From out your dear friend's eye. 
 
 Let's cultivate these evenings 
 
 Of genial delight, 
 Inspire a merry radiant glow, 
 
 Watch some friend's eye grow bright 
 Bright with purpose ready, 
 
 A better friend to be, 
 Because the love you handed out 
 
 Was from the heart they see. 
 
34 Now I See 
 
 Purity 
 
 "Blessed are the pure in heart," 
 
 Said Jesus long ago; 
 For from God they ne'er depart. 
 
 They see Him in high and low, 
 The pure in heart, so guileless, 
 
 Knowing no deceit, 
 Going forth in happiness 
 
 "Good" with smiles to meet. 
 
 The pure in heart protected are 
 
 By their attitude, 
 Of single vision, piercing far, 
 
 Seeing only good. 
 God they see in everything, 
 
 Knowing nothing else; 
 So to them God doth bring 
 
 The likeness of Himself. 
 
Nozv I See 35 
 
 Now 
 
 Dedicated to May A. Wig gin 
 
 _ 
 
 Once I heard a speaker say: 
 
 Now is the time, my dear, 
 Never will you richer be 
 
 Than you are right "now" and here. 
 For within you hidden 
 
 Is a mighty reservoir 
 Of health, joy and riches, 
 
 All things you're longing for. 
 
 I went home and pondered 
 
 Just what did she mean? 
 Had we really a golden mine 
 
 Hidden deep within? 
 I pondered long and earnestly, 
 
 And finally found the key: 
 To the storehouse piled with plenty 
 
 Awaiting command from me. 
 
36 Now I See 
 
 Might 
 
 "God in the midst of me, mighty." 
 
 Try letting this thought roam 
 Into every cell and molecule 
 
 That constitutes your home. 
 Send it in with strength and vim, 
 
 Claim it, voice it loud, 
 Till vibrations new come unto you, 
 
 Raising those that bowed. 
 
 "God in the midst of me, mighty", 
 
 An impregnable fortress I ; 
 No longer assailed by passing gales 
 
 Of thought that make one die. 
 Filled instead with vigor, 
 
 Getting a different view 
 Of life, with a mighty victor 
 
 Dwelling always with you. 
 
Now I See 37 
 
 The Voice 
 
 I am the voice in the darkness 
 
 Calling to you Here am I ! 
 But I cannot see; where is the switch? 
 
 I hear you faintly cry. 
 The switch? it's right within you; 
 
 Stop fearing, still your mind, 
 Have trust in "Me." I'll tell you 
 
 How the "light" to surely find. 
 
 Relax, be calm ; sit down, dear, 
 
 In that chair by the wall. 
 God's arms are underneath you 
 
 No, you cannot fall. 
 Ah! now you are calm and steady, 
 
 With a deep, sure trust in "Me." 
 You've pressed the switch, the lamp is lit 
 
 With love encircling thee. 
 
38 Now I See 
 
 Rest 
 
 Under the shadow of Thy wing, 
 
 Sheltered and caressed, 
 Safe as any birdling 
 
 With its mother on the nest. 
 To know and feel Thy perfect love 
 
 So well encircling me, 
 Always to know we are as One 
 
 Bound inseparably. 
 
 Does this not convey a rest 
 
 So calm and deeply poised 
 That disturbed it cannot be 
 
 By any outward noise? 
 Knowing whatever cometh 
 
 This can be surely said : 
 "None of these things move me"; 
 
 By Thee alone I'm lead. 
 
Now I See 39 
 
 Tolerance 
 
 Do let us be tolerant 
 
 Of each other's plan; 
 Recognize the original slant 
 
 In each individual man. 
 The violet and the pansy 
 
 Do not quarrel because they 
 Are not in pattern formed alike; 
 
 God is great, they say. 
 
 He gives to each a beauty 
 
 Peculiarly their own; 
 Even a different shape and size 
 
 To each and every stone. 
 Let's know the individual view 
 
 Each man loves to hug, 
 Are like the beautiful colored weaves 
 
 In a Persian rug. 
 
40 Now I See 
 
 Security 
 
 "Let Thy will be done in me" ; 
 
 To me this doth imply 
 A sense of deep security 
 
 On which we can rely. 
 For Thy will means perfection, 
 
 Health, and joy supreme, 
 Abundant good, prosperity, 
 
 A bank on which to lean. 
 
 So, Lord, when Thy perfect will 
 
 I've gladly made mine own, 
 Then shall I know assuredly 
 
 I never am alone. 
 Then shall I speak authoritatively, 
 
 See with vision clear, 
 That limitation's realm has burst 
 
 And Thou hast cast out fear. 
 
Now I See 41 
 
 Psycho-Analysis 
 
 Listen, my brother, tarry a while; 
 
 I've a secret to tell to thee. 
 Life is just like an open book 
 
 When once you have found the key. 
 It is crystal clear, there's beauty here, 
 
 Abundance for you and me; 
 Puzzle not on the whys and wheres 
 
 What do they matter to thee? 
 
 Just know that you hold within yourself 
 
 The power to set you free 
 From bondage of fear, worry or doubt; 
 
 Loose the captivity 
 Of the thought held repressed 
 Which has caused a complex 
 
 In the storehouse deep within. 
 Dig it up, let it out, proclaim with a shout 
 
 Hurrah! I am free to win. 
 
42 Now I See 
 
 The Law of Attraction 
 
 When our minds get into action, 
 
 With the great law of attraction, 
 
 We find a wondrous pow r er 
 
 Has been freed. 
 
 Our pockets which were empty 
 
 Now are filled with plenty; 
 
 We have friends 
 
 And all things that we need. 
 
 Let's reap the satisfaction 
 
 Of the great law of attraction, 
 
 Practice sending what 
 
 We'd pay for if we bought. 
 
 Then we'll know with exact measure 
 
 We shall reap the kind of treasure 
 
 We have planted 
 
 In our fertile field of thought. 
 
Nozv I See 43 
 
 Emancipation 
 
 That word Emancipation ! 
 
 How proud we felt when we 
 Of the North had freed the slaves ; 
 
 But are "we" really free? 
 Have we the vision that Lincoln had 
 
 Of pure democracy? 
 Or do we class some as aliens 
 
 In this land of liberty? 
 
 Lincoln saw a united land 
 
 From racial prejudice free; 
 He knew all men were brothers, 
 
 Born in whatever countree; 
 Some have lost sight of his message; 
 
 They think they're a different clan 
 Because of the greater advantage 
 
 They've had than the other man. 
 
44 N.ow I See 
 
 Prosperity 
 
 Prosperity for the nation! 
 
 Come on, join the clan! 
 By a noble proclamation 
 
 Spread the universal plan. 
 Take the word "Co-operation", 
 
 With its great tremendous force, 
 'Twill change old dull Stagnation 
 
 To a rushing, vibrant course. 
 
 Come, practice it, apply it; 
 
 Let's watch it grow and spread; 
 Both employer and employee 
 
 Daily eating of the bread 
 Named Satisfaction, 
 
 That comes from Unity 
 Joined together in one purpose 
 
 To have all men really free. 
 
Now I See 45 
 
 Youth 
 
 How beautiful is happy Youth! 
 
 With round, wide, open eyes, 
 Always seeking, day by day, 
 
 Some pleasurable surprise ; 
 Taking joyfully what comes 
 
 With no thought of the bill, 
 In perfect trust that parents can 
 
 Their every want fulfill. 
 
 Wise parents do their very best 
 
 To keep this trust alive, 
 Even tho' they've limited means. 
 
 How much more will God strive 
 To satisfy our every want 
 
 From limitless supply. 
 When we ask with childlike trust, 
 
 He never will deny. 
 
46 Now I Sec 
 
 Eternal Youth 
 
 They tell you, here's your birthday, 
 
 Remind you of it with flowers; 
 The flowers are fine, but why waste time 
 
 On dead, departed hours? 
 Now is the time of promise, 
 
 Each day you are born anew, 
 With glorious youth rebounding 
 
 In the veins renewing you. 
 
 The key to the situation? 
 
 What are you sending home? 
 Thoughts of age and wrinkles, 
 
 Or care-free thoughts that roam 
 Out in the fields a singing, 
 
 Enjoying a swim at the pool, 
 Laughing, dancing and skipping? 
 
 Ah! now you have found the tool. 
 
Nozv I See 47 
 
 Desire 
 
 Desire's the embryonic urge 
 
 Within us all intent 
 Upon accomplishment 
 
 Of that to which it's bent. 
 Do not stiflle it, nor think 
 
 This thing, it can't be so; 
 See it as the forerunner 
 
 Of a thing that's going to grow. 
 
 Do you wish for fame ? perhaps 
 
 Music is your bent; 
 Know Desire is promise of 
 
 Future accomplishment. 
 Desire is good; combine with it 
 
 Ability to stick, 
 Keep the lamp a burning 
 
 And be sure you trim the wick. 
 
48 Now I See 
 
 Joy 
 
 I felt so happy, joyous and free, 
 
 And a little voice whispered to me : 
 ''Speak your joy aloud to the world, 
 
 So many are sad, you see." 
 I'm telling you true, believe me do, 
 
 There's no need of being blue; 
 Your world will fill you with ecstasy 
 
 If you make your "Thought" anew. 
 
 Take a few moments every day 
 
 And focus your mind on "Joy"', 
 Speak the word, caress the word, 
 
 Play with it like a toy. 
 Soon your mouth will have corners up, 
 
 Your face will be beaming, too, 
 And Oh! the wonderful brimming cup 
 
 Of good that will come to you. 
 
Now I See 49 
 
 The Body Beautiful 
 
 Build up the body beautiful 
 
 With loving words and praise; 
 Give life to it, and prosper it 
 
 In all your thoughts and ways. 
 Be alert and watchful, 
 
 Let no word enter in 
 That does not help to reconstruct 
 
 The active cells within. 
 
 Each cell is listening to you, 
 
 Eager for your love and praise; 
 If you give them these 
 
 They'll help you 
 In a myriad different ways, 
 With power, life and beauty 
 
 They will fill your veins anew 
 And you'll find the body beautiful 
 
 A literal truth to you. 
 
50 Now I See 
 
 Nature's Way 
 
 Nature is so friendly, 
 
 She tries with all her might 
 To save us from disaster, 
 
 And guide our steps aright. 
 We should pay attention 
 
 To her warning twinge of pain. 
 And find wherein we've transgressed 
 
 The law of health again. 
 
 It's natural to be healthy, 
 
 But we upset the plan 
 By the various indiscretions 
 
 Of the so-called normal man. 
 Let common sense just show us 
 
 How to help along the plan, 
 Or, nature's kindly warnings 
 
 Will again take us in hand. 
 
Now I See 51 
 
 Happiness 
 
 How beautifully contagious 
 
 Is a gleam of happiness! 
 It flashes suddenly on your path 
 
 Like a sunbeam's sweet caress, 
 And you feel a load's been lifted 
 
 You are carefree, and you sing, 
 Oh! for happy smiling faces 
 
 That will help us all to win. 
 
 Yesterday a car conductor 
 
 Gave this thrill to me, 
 As the passengers were crowding on 
 
 He smiled so happily, 
 They jostled him and crowded him, 
 
 He did not seem to care. 
 He still kept smiling happily 
 
 As he shouted All on there! 
 
52 Now I See 
 
 The Echo 
 
 You too have loved the wild places, 
 The great wide-open spaces, 
 Where mountain, valley, sky and sea 
 Blend in perfect harmony; 
 Wild places with canyon's deep, 
 Where one almost fears to speak 
 Lest he break the majestic calm 
 And sound a false note of alarm. 
 
 How silent it all is out there! 
 
 One almost hesitates to dare 
 
 To think, feeling so small 
 
 Beside the maker of it all. 
 
 Yet, should he grow so bold, 
 
 In thought sublime he will be told, 
 
 Greater than this, more wondrous still, 
 
 Is man, when he performs my will. 
 
Now I See 53 
 
 Reiteration 
 
 I know I sound like a hammer 
 
 Knocking on a nail. 
 But, were the nails not well driven in, 
 
 The building would be frail. 
 The foundation must be solid, 
 
 As steady as a rock; 
 Then come what may, it will not fall 
 
 E'en tho' it receive a shock. 
 
 Some say That's not new to me, 
 
 I've heard it all before. 
 But had the nails been well driven in 
 
 They would have builded more; 
 Had they in foundation 
 
 Been not inclined to shirk, 
 Their house would now be beautiful, 
 
 Result of splendid work, 
 
54 Now I Sec 
 
 Supply 
 
 How glorious to know and touch 
 
 Unlimited supply! 
 To speak the word with Christ, 
 
 To know we can rely 
 On Thee to instantly fulfill 
 
 Our immediate need; 
 No longer do we beggarly 
 
 Supplicate and plead. 
 
 Wealth is mine, wealth is yours, 
 
 It's waiting our command; 
 So great it is, impossible 
 
 Too much to demand. 
 The more we use and pass along 
 
 The better do we serve, 
 So high is piled the storehouse, 
 
 So great is the reserve. 
 
Now I See 55 
 
 The Potter 
 
 I am in tune with the Infinite, 
 
 I see the purpose of Mind 
 In creating life eternal 
 
 For nature and all mankind. 
 Mind with no beginning, 
 
 Mind without an end, 
 Infinite, Almighty 
 
 In its purpose to befriend. 
 
 True, the substance changes 
 
 As does the potter's clay, 
 Renewing and evolving 
 
 Consistently each day, 
 With infinite variety 
 
 Of patterns ever new, 
 Unfolding in the consciousness 
 
 Of creative potter view. 
 
 Plastic mind, from which we take 
 Our substance day by day, 
 
 Are we clumsy potters 
 
 In fashioning this fine clay? 
 
 Think how truly wonderful 
 
56 Now I See 
 
 Our temples we could make 
 Did we as perfect potters 
 Dissolve, and recreate. 
 
 Be as a perfect potter 
 
 With finest kind of clay, 
 And ability to fashion form 
 
 So it shall ever stay, 
 Exquisite thing of beauty, 
 
 Perfect in its art, 
 Reflecting rays from potter soul 
 
 To each admirer's heart. 
 
 God 
 
 Behold! the hour is come: 
 All humanity seeing 
 With perfect clarity of vision- 
 God! the very essence of their being. 
 Knowing they are immersed in God 
 As water absorbed in a sponge 
 God the limitless! Impossible to plunge 
 Into separation, 
 Always, forever, One. 
 
Now I See 57 
 
 The Victorious Attitude 
 
 Father, I should faint indeed 
 
 If Thou were not my prop; 
 But with Thee to urge me on, 
 
 I cannot, will not stop. 
 But press onward in the truth 
 
 As far as I perceive, 
 Knowing Thou wilt fertilize 
 
 The next need I conceive. 
 
 So with Thee as guide by day, 
 
 My couch of rest at night, 
 Peace shall be my portion 
 
 Life one long delight. 
 Even tho' Thou seem to fail 
 
 To answer some request, 
 Still closer will I press to Thee, 
 
 Convinced Thou knowest best. 
 
58 Noiv I See 
 
 Renunciation 
 
 In seeking Truth, for love of Truth, 
 
 Not for some reward, 
 There's joy in conquest all the way; 
 
 We do not feel the sword 
 That separates us from the false; 
 
 Instead, we feel release 
 From senses that would bind and blind 
 
 Us to the perfect peace. 
 
 Be not afraid that you will lose 
 
 In seeking Truth and Light. 
 Always will you gainer be, 
 
 Each day know more delight. 
 The joys of Spirit transcend far 
 
 The fleeting joys of sense. 
 Sense joys oft leave a bitter taste, 
 
 Truth brings us joy intense. 
 
Nmv I See 59 
 
 You 
 
 Do you think of yourself as son of the King? 
 
 Then claim your birthright now. 
 The wonderful heritage that is yours 
 
 Know that you can endow 
 Each one of your subjects 
 
 Over which you reign 
 With power to carry out your will 
 
 By right use of your name. 
 
 Your name? I Am! Your kingdom? 
 
 Yourself! with its myriad cells, 
 Each one a willing subject 
 
 To answer the various bells 
 That ring, when you issue an order 
 
 In the name of the great "I Am." 
 When you speak as befitting the Prince of Lrve 
 
 Your subjects glorify man. 
 
60 Now I See 
 
 Regeneration 
 
 "I am the resurrection life" ; 
 
 This literally is true 
 When you the way have opened 
 
 To Christ consciousness in you. 
 With Christ thought well established 
 
 In your body, soul and mind, 
 Perplexities that bothered you 
 
 Vanish, you will find. 
 
 With Christ the way is easy 
 
 When to Him you give 
 Your close, absorbed attention, 
 
 Then do you truly live. 
 Then you see with vision clear 
 
 Each step of the way. 
 In quiet confidence and trust 
 
 He guides you thru each day. 
 
Noiv I See 61 
 
 Illumination 
 
 I talk with Thee, I walk with Thee, 
 
 I voice Thee every way, 
 So radiantly full of joy 
 
 Is life now every day. 
 Rejoicing in the urge within 
 
 Of creative bliss, 
 Bringing forth a form divine 
 
 From the shadowy mist. 
 
 Every hour, every minute 
 
 Filled with life divine, 
 Inspiring great activity 
 
 With no time left to pine; 
 Work to do, strength to do it, 
 
 Glad and eager to begin it. 
 When evening comes and time for rest 
 
 I sleep in peace, serenely blest. 
 
62 Now I See 
 
 My Place 
 
 In this great impenetrable space, 
 I thank thee Lord I have a place; 
 Thank thee that my soul can dare 
 To voice itself, to fling on air 
 The thought, I am divine, I am 
 Part of thy almighty plan. 
 
 Thus boldly doth my soul declare 
 
 Itself, knowing it can 
 
 Co-worker be with thee, and plan 
 
 To spread abroad o'er all the earth 
 
 The message clear, "Man's priceless worth," 
 
 Awakening him to dare.
