Your Forces and How to Use Them

FOREWORD
"There are a million energies in man. What may we not become when we
learn to use them all." This is the declaration of the poet; and though poetry
is usually inspired by transcendental visions, and therefore more or less
impressed with apparent exaggerations, nevertheless there is in this poetic
expression far more actual, practical truth than we may at first believe.
How many energies there are in man, no one knows; but there are so many
that even the keenest observers of human activity have found it impossible
to count them all. And as most of these energies are remarkable, to say the
least, and some of them so remarkable as to appear both limitless in power
and numberless in possibilities, we may well wonder what man will become
when he learns to use them all.
When we look upon human nature in general we may fail to see much
improvement in power and worth as compared with what we believe the
race has been in the past; and therefore we conclude that humanity will
continue to remain about the same upon this planet until the end of time.
But when we investigate the lives of such individuals as have recently tried
to apply more intelligently the greater powers within them, we come to a
different conclusion. We then discover that there is evidence in thousands of
human lives of a new and superior race of people—a race that will apply a
much larger measure of the wonders and possibilities that exist within them.
It is only a few years, not more than a quarter of a century, since modern
psychology began to proclaim the new science of human thought and action,
so that we have had but a short time to demonstrate what a more intelligent
application of our energies and forces can accomplish. But already the
evidence is coming in from all sources, revealing results that frequently
border upon the extraordinary. Man can do far more with himself and his life
than he has been doing in the past; he can call into action, and successfully
apply, far more ability, energy and worth than his forefathers ever dreamed
of. So much has been proven during this brief introductory period of the new
age. Then what greater things may we not reasonably expect when we have
had fifty or a hundred years more in which to develop and apply those larger
possibilities which we now know to be inherent in us all.
