Henry Thomas Hamblin - Dynamic Thought: A Guide to Mastering Your Mental Power - 2. REALIZING THE INFINITE POWER WITHIN - HQ Full Book. 

The second part of this transformative journey begins with an invitation to step back and contemplate the vastness of the universe. You are urged to gaze upward at the night sky, to observe the distant stars that twinkle like gems in the heavens. These stars, in fact, are suns, positioned millions of miles away from us in the cosmos. This vastness of space is an invitation to grasp the enormity of Universal Law, which governs everything from the grand motion of planets to the cycles of the tides on Earth. In the precision of the stars, the rhythmic ebb and flow of the oceans, and the regular rise and fall of the sun, one begins to perceive the underlying Power that organizes and sustains all things.

When contemplating this cosmic order, it becomes evident that this Power is not confined to the heavens or distant worlds but is present in everything around us. From the smallest particle of matter to the grandest celestial bodies, there is an underlying force that animates them all. This is the essence of the Universal or Infinite Mind, a force that expresses itself through all of creation. As human beings, we are said to be the epitome of this Universal Mind, with our inner selves reflecting the vastness of the universe itself. The mind, in its deepest sense, is not separate from this Infinite Power, but an expression of it.

The realization that man is an indestructible ego, an imperishable mind, is a profound shift in understanding. In the past, humans were often viewed as mere animals with souls, but this outdated perception is being replaced by a deeper understanding of man’s true nature. Man is not simply a physical being; he is a mental being, an ego with an imperishable mind, temporarily housed in a physical body. This shift in understanding reveals the source of all human weakness, mistakes, and failures: a lack of recognition of the Infinite Power within. Historically, mankind has seen itself as separate from the forces of the universe, powerless and weak in the face of external circumstances. Many have considered themselves victims of fate, helpless against the tide of life. But the truth, as revealed here, is far different.

Instead of viewing himself as a helpless being, man is shown to be a king, capable of controlling and shaping his own life and circumstances. The Infinite Mind is within him, and through this connection, he has the power to transcend circumstances and shape his own destiny. This realization is the key to human potential. The Infinite Power is not just an abstract concept, but a living, breathing force within every individual. When a person understands and taps into this internal power, they realize that they are not bound by the limitations of their past experiences or the external world. They are free to create, to achieve, and to become all that they desire.

This mental awakening marks the moment when man recognizes that he is a mental creature, intrinsically connected to the Universal Mind. The difference between man and the Infinite Mind is not one of kind but of degree. Just as a traveler in the wilderness may stumble upon a spring of water, feeling the relief of never-ending nourishment, so too does man discover the boundless Power within him. He realizes that he is not a helpless victim of circumstances but a co-creator of his reality, equipped with a limitless well of wisdom, energy, and creativity.

This realization that the Infinite Mind resides within man is described as the greatest discovery in the history of the world. It is the crowning revelation that dwarfs all other discoveries. Once a person understands this, their life is transformed. No longer do they see themselves as weak, dependent, or subject to the whims of fate. Instead, they see themselves as capable of controlling their destiny, of shaping their life according to their will and vision.

The ultimate realization is that all men possess this internal power, but most fail to recognize it. Until a person consciously calls upon this power, it remains dormant. This is the reason for the distress and struggles of so many individuals in the world. Most people try to achieve success, but they do so without tapping into the vast inner resources available to them. They exert effort without the accompanying understanding of the power within, and as a result, their efforts are often fruitless and full of struggle.

However, once a person learns to recognize the inward power and calls it into action, their life changes dramatically. No longer does success seem elusive. Instead, it comes with ease, for the individual is now working in harmony with the infinite forces of the universe. They are no longer chasing after success, but instead, success comes to them. They no longer strive anxiously, fearing failure or bankruptcy, but work with a calm confidence, knowing that their efforts will inevitably lead to success.

When a person taps into their internal power, they no longer live in fear or anxiety. They know that they are the creators of their reality and that they can shape their future with absolute certainty. The confidence born from this realization is transformative. As the poet John Burroughs writes, “What is mine shall know my face,” the individual understands that what they are building today—through their thoughts, actions, and affirmations—will bear fruit in the future. This confidence, based on exact knowledge of the law of cause and effect, replaces the anxiety of uncertain outcomes with a calm assurance that success is inevitable.

In this context, the use of affirmations becomes a powerful tool for the individual seeking to awaken their internal power. By affirming one’s new identity as a person of power, success, and mastery, the individual is aligning their thoughts and actions with their true nature. These affirmations are not merely words but acts of conscious creation, shaping the individual’s future by first shaping their inner world.

This process of inner transformation is further explained through the practice of visualization. The individual is encouraged to visualize themselves as successful, radiant, and self-disciplined, mastering their life and destiny. This mental imagery serves as the blueprint for the external world. The mental picture created in the mind is more real and enduring than any physical object, and it is through this mental creation that the individual brings about change in their outer circumstances.

Moreover, the practice of affirmations and visualization serves to strengthen the individual’s character, making them superior to external challenges and temptations. Whenever difficulties arise, the individual is encouraged to retreat into their inner world, to affirm their power, and to call upon the inward resources that are always available. This process not only empowers the individual but also helps to eliminate worry, doubt, and fear, replacing them with a sense of purpose and direction.

The path to success, as described in this part, is not through external force or effort but through the conscious realization of the infinite power that resides within each person. By aligning the inner world with the Universal Mind, the individual gains access to all the power, wisdom, and creativity of the cosmos. This inner alignment is the key to overcoming any obstacle and achieving success in all areas of life.

Finally, the realization of this internal power extends to all aspects of life, including health. Just as the mind governs success, so too does it govern health. The individual is encouraged to deny any belief in sickness or disease and instead affirm perfect health. This mental alignment with health and vitality is seen as the path to a life of energy, strength, and well-being. The more a person aligns with the Infinite Life within, the more their body reflects that vitality, creating a harmonious state of health and wellness.

In conclusion, Part II emphasizes the immense power that lies within every person. By realizing this internal connection to the Infinite Mind, the individual gains the ability to shape their reality, achieve success, and live a life of health and fulfillment. This realization is the key to unlocking the vast potential within each person, leading to a life of unlimited possibilities.
