Summary

Listen to a sample episode of Our Sunday Talks. Edited and adapted from “What is Worth While?” by Anna Robertson Brown.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: Thinking is a spiritual activity, and consists of the reaction of the Individual against the Universal Mind. “I think, therefore I am,” when “I cease to think, I cease to exist.”

Thinking is the only activity which spirit possesses. Spirit is creative. Thinking therefore is a creative process, but as the larger part of our thinking processes are subjective rather than objective, most of our creative work is carried on subjectively. But because this work is spiritual work, it is none the less real — for we know that all the great eternal forces of Nature are invisible rather than visible, spiritual rather than material, subjective rather than objective.

0:00.0	Welcome to Our Sunday Talks, an exclusive series for the patrons of the Inspirational Living podcast.
0:19.8	Today's reading was edited and adopted from
0:22.6	Mental Chemistry by Charles F. Hinal, published in 1922.
0:53.3	Destiny is Det for nations and for individuals by factors and forces that are really fundamental, such is our attitude toward one another.
0:59.3	Ideals and motives are more potent than events in shaping history.
1:04.2	What people think about the abiding concerns of life means more than any contemporary agitation or upheaval.
1:09.7	Everything which we hold in our consciousness for any length of time
1:14.6	becomes impressed upon our subconscious,
1:18.5	and so becomes a pattern which the creative energy will wave into our life and
1:25.0	environment.
1:26.9	This is the secret of the power of prayer.
1:31.3	We know that the universe is governed by law,
1:36.3	that for every effect there must be a cause,
1:40.3	and that the same cause, under the same conditions, will invariably produce the same effect.
1:48.3	Consequently, if prayer has ever been answered, it will always be answered, if the proper
1:55.4	conditions are complied with. This must necessarily be true, otherwise the universe would be a chaos instead of a cosmos.
2:07.6	The answer to prayer is therefore subject to law, and this law is definite, exact, and scientific,
2:16.6	just as are the laws governing gravitation and electricity.
2:22.3	An understanding of this law takes the foundation of religion out of the realm of superstition and credulity
2:29.3	and places it upon the firm rock of scientific understanding.
2:35.6	The value of prayer depends upon the law of spiritual activity.
