MIRROR MEDITATION By EMMITT L. BRINSON Have you ever asked the ques tion; What is Creation? Where did it come from? When we think deeply about this we are confronted with a reality that we are dealing with an in finite power that makes things out of itself, by itself. Perpet ually becoming the thing It makes. Everything made out of that which cannot be seen. The invisible becoming visible in accordance with a set pattern. trs Braddy's FOR DRY CLEANING A LAUNDRY Pick-Up and Delivery Service 320 First Street ME 7-2159 Evinrude Outboard Motors MFC and G & W Boats Long Trailers Boat Supplies Kimbrells Outboard Service 1305 Pembroke Road ME 7-3785 Where Quality and Experience Save You Hours of Boating Pleasure.

The six-week-old kittens have a fairly impressive record of destruction at their owner’s home in Rainham, Kent, England. Structures of nature which defy not only the .skill but the com prehension of man. He can only observe and imitate up to cer tain limitations. All this beautlfiil and glorious creation came from some where. In what did It originate? Mind? Thought? Imagination? Yes I It had to be a mind far greater than our own. A mind in which our mind is subordinate. Thinking of which our thoughts are a part. Thoughts that are continually creative. Emergy and action from thought emlna- ting from the unseen, or a do main unknown -- invisible — spiritual. When we reach this point of logic and reason we realize that we too can become creative by tapping this source of power in which aii existence is an entity. Creative thinking akintoourin- terpretation called talent. Creative power aWn to our in terpretation of prayer. This is why science has un covered that our very physical condition is controlled mostly by our mental condition. What we think as good or what we fear as bad. In reality when we think of anything we are using the ever creative mind of the Creator. We Create good or bad for ourselves. When we think of our thoughts in this manner we find an unlimited potential available that can keep us con stantly in the channels of good, for that which we fear also creates the thing we fear as bad. How true this is of health. This is also why we find with in ourselves a power called talent. Anything we desire to do we find a source of knowledge which seems to be alreadypos- sessed--already there, and as we put this talent to use we find new channels of commen surate power openingtous from within. This is the Creative mind of God in which we are a part, even available when we are in tune with him. Christ said, "It is done to us as we believe’’. When we con sider this in connection with prayer it is plain and obvious. We believe we will have done to us that which we pray for and it will be so. Our sincerity becomes the creator and an swer through the creative na if's a Perfect Weekend for Oysters in the Shell. Conveniently Bagged for You, for Easy, Take Home Pleasure.

The greatest thing that could ever happen to us is the dis covery of this creative power within our own thoughts, and even greater to put and keep in constant use for good. Knowing that even bad thoughts too will come true. When we consider every thought to be creative we can feel that we are constant ly in tune with the Creator, constantly in touch or in com panionship with him. In constant positive prayer, eliminating negative thoughts, eliminating ideas which create unhappiness, Illness, and stress. I sincerely believe this pos sibility; That life offers an ac cess to the Creative power of God, ready and willing to re spond in our power of thought. Every thought could be a pray er, affirm or deny the good we desire. This has been dra matically the result of prayer therapy research by professor William R. Parker. Unless our thoughts are posi tive for good, they can also be dangerous. What a new life awaits us if we but use the power of creative prayer, through constant awareness and thought. Could this be the avenue to a perfect life as pointed out by the Savior?
