Speaker 1 (0:21) The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, brought to you by WeirdHummingbirds.com. This book is in the public domain. Chapter 20, How to Stay Young in Spirit Forever. Your subconscious mind never grows old. It is timeless, ageless, and endless. It is a part of the universal mind of God, which was never born and will never die. Fatigue or old age does not have an impact on any spiritual quality or power. Patience, kindness, veracity, humility, goodwill, peace, harmony, and brotherly love are attributes and qualities that never grow old. If you continue to generate these qualities here on this plane of life, you will always remain young in spirit. Years alone are not responsible for bringing about degenerative disorders. It is not time itself, but the fear of time that has a harmful effect on your mind and body. Indeed, the neurotic fear of the effects of time may well be the cause of premature aging. During the many years of my public life, I have had occasion to study the biographies of famous men and women who have continued their productive activities into the years well beyond the normal span of life. Some of them even achieved their greatness for the first time in old age. It has also been my privilege to meet and get to know countless individuals of no special prominence who, in their lesser sphere, belong among those hardy mortals who have proved that old age itself does not destroy the creative powers of the mind and body. He had grown old in his thought life. A few years ago, I called on an old friend in London, England. He had recently turned 80. For many people, this is cause for rejoicing, but unfortunately not for him. I was deeply shocked when I saw him. He looked and felt weak, even ill, although he admitted that his doctor had not found any particular medical problem. Doctors are idiots, he proclaimed. I know very well what my disease is. It is life itself. I asked him what he meant. No one wants or needs me, he cried. And why should they? I'm of no use anymore. We are born, we grow up, we get old and we die and that's the end of the story. I saw that in a way. He was right in his understanding of his illness. he was sick not because of life but because of the way he viewed life his mental attitude of futility and worthlessness had brought about his sickness he was looking forward only to sentience and after that nothing Indeed, he had grown old in his thought life, and his subconscious mind made manifest everything he was expecting and dreading. Age is the dawn of wisdom. Unfortunately, many people have the same attitude as this unhappy man. They are afraid of what the term old age, the end, and extinction. What this really means is that they are afraid of life, yet life is endless. Age is not the flight of years, but the dawn of wisdom. Wisdom is the awareness of the tremendous spiritual powers of your subconscious mind and the knowledge of how to apply these powers to lead a full and happy life. Get it out of your head. Once and for all, that 65, 75, or 85 years of age is synonymous with the end for you or anybody else. It can be the beginning of a glorious, fruitful, active, and most productive life pattern, better than you have ever experienced. Believe this. Expect it. And your subconscious will bring it to pass. Speaker 1 (5:03) welcome the change old age is not a tragic occurrence what we call the aging process is really change it is to be welcomed joyfully and gladly each phase of human life is a step forward on a path that has no end We have enormous powers that transcend the limits of our bodily powers. We have marvelous senses that transcends the limit of our five physical senses. Life is spiritual and eternal. We need never grow old, for life or God cannot grow old. The Bible says that God is life. Life is self-renewing, eternal, indestructible. and is the reality of all people. Life is. A woman once asked Thomas Edison, the electrical wizard, Mr. Edison, what is electricity? He replied, Madame, electricity is. Use it. Electricity is the name we give an invisible power that we do not fully comprehend. Yet we learn all we can about the principles of electricity and its uses. We use it in countless ways. Scientists cannot see an electron with their eyes. Yet they accept it as a scientific fact because it is the only valid conclusion that coincides with other experimental evidence. We cannot see life. However, we know we are alive. Life is, and we are here to express it in all its beauty and glory. Speaker 1 (6:54) Mind and spirit do not grow old. The Bible says, and this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God. John 17 3. Anyone who thinks or believes that the earthly cycle of birth, adolescence, youth, maturity, and old age is all there is to life is indeed to be pitied. Such a person has no anchor, no hope, no vision. To that person, life has no meaning. This type of belief brings frustration, stagnation, cynicism, and a sense of hopelessness that leads to neurosis and mental aberrations of all kinds. What if you can no longer play a fast game of tennis or swim as fast as your children? What if your body has slowed down or you walk with a slow step? Remember, life is always clothing itself anew. What people call death is but a journey to a new city in another dimension of life. I say to those who come to my lectures that they should accept that we call old age gracefully. Speaker 1 (8:15) Age has its own glory, beauty, and wisdom that belong to it. Peace, love, joy, beauty, happiness, wisdom, goodwill, and understanding are qualities that never grow old or die. Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet and philosopher, said, We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count. Your character, the quality of your mind, your faith, and your convictions are not subject to decay. You are as young as you think you are. I give public lectures in
