MIRROR
MEDITATION
By EMMITT L. BRINSON
Man In his creative de
sign has a built-in compass
and barometer, which gtddes
him Into areas of function and
development. To grow Into
adulthood he adheres to built-
in cycles of continuity. To eat,
to learn, to work, to love, to
find a mate. To provide him
self with the' physical neces
sities. To protect himself from
danger.
In his development he strives
to master the material. He Is
endowed with a dynamic force
to pile up for himself that
which brings physical comfort
and pleasure.
One of man’s greatest endow
ments, which the great majority
are not aware of. Is his spirit
ual store house, which too, must
grow In wealth, or all the
treasures stored within the
physical Is of no value. It Is
worthless.
Man Is possessed of two
minds. The conscious and the
sub-conscious. The conscious
mind is that awareness of the
present, or that of which we
are now thinking. The sub
conscious mind Is that part of
our brain system w! oh stores
away our thoughts and knowl
edge for future reference. It
reserves the knowledge we feed
to it through our conscious
minds.
The sub-conscious is also our
storehouse of the spiritual. It
has no control over what it
receives. It merely stacks up
what we place into it. This is
the only avenue to character
structure and of permanent job
and happiness. What goes Into
it is infinite.
It directs our eternal lives.
It Is our bulwark—our
strength—our foundation.
Thought by thought we build a
solid magnanimous spirit. What
we place Into It now, we depend
upon later to over ride all heart
aches—pain—and trouble. In
order to withstand all trails
and tests, that which is placed
there in must be sifted through
the heart and soul.
Such as knowledge Inspired—
truth — love — compassion
—charity—honesty of motive.
Aspirations—beauty of thought.
The countless small deeds of
good. As we store away these

thoughts, even If known only
to ourselves, they become
reservoirs of strength, of char
acter—of reward.
There Is another side to this
scale, which weighs heavy on
the soul. For within this same
storehouse the doors are open
to receive the countless
thoughts of bad and evil, and
hate, even If these are known
only to ourselves. Sometimes,
just one evil deed, rejected by
heart and soul can destroy all
the structure of good as well
as the soul.
Man in his ever pressing
struggle piles up wealth of
material—of money. Granted,
they are necessary, wonder
ful and rewarding, but unless
along the way he has also laid
up "good” within his spiritual
storehouse, all the false
practice or dramatization of
happiness can not make it so.
TTiere are times when all the
money In the world can not buy
health, the security of love-
time—life—or one drop of re
lief to a stricken conscience.
Castles of gold can not pro
vide retreat In which to hide
from one’s self.
And then there comes the
period when all roads lead to
the enevltable—death—the road
block of physical, which the
material can not penetrate.
Money and wealth has lost its

barter.
It Is here the returns of small
investments shall soar Into
astronomical returns. Even the
small deeds of kindness become
stepping stones to the kingdom
of the Creator. This wealth
of spirit becomes a passport
to eternity. How powerful the
truth of Matthew 16:26. “For
what has a man profited, if he
shall gain the whole world and
lose his soul.” I wonderl
