Changing, emphasis, new language, novel interpretations, unfamiliar perspectives, are not, as some suppose, signs of departure from truth but on the contrary they are evidence that the truth is being apprehended in new relations to human needs, and is becoming more generally understood. The truth must be told to each generation and to every people in new and different terms, so when the great teacher said "Believe that ye receive and ye shall receive" or when Paul said "Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen" or when modern science says "The law of attraction is the law by which thought correlates with it's object", each statement when subjected to analysis, is found to contain exactly the same truth, the only difference being in form of presentation. The old orthodox way of thinking was to be "a worm", to be satisfied with our portion whatever it is, but the modern idea is to know that we are entitled to the best of everything, that the "Father and I are one" and that the "Father" is the universal mind, The Creator, the original substance from which all things proceed. Now, admitting that his is all true in theory, and it has been taught for two thousand years, and is the the essence of every system of philosophy or religion, how are we to make it practical in our lives? How are we to get the actual, tangible results here and now? By putting our knowledge into practice, nothing can be accomplished in any other way. -Charles Haanel
