Speaking of spiritual power, it is recorded that Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, the world's foremost electrical engineer, in his last days forecast the future in the following impressive words: "I think the greatest discovery will be along spiritual lines. Here is a force which history clearly teaches has been the greatest power in the development of man and history. Yet we have merely been playing with it and have never seriously studied it as we have the physical forces. Some day people will learn that material things do not bring happi- ness, and are of little use in making men and women cre- ative and powerful. The scientists of the world will turn their laboratories over to the study of God and prayer and the spiritual forces, which as yet have hardly been scratched. When this day comes, the world will see more advancement in one generation than it has seen in the last four." From my 42 years of experience in selling, I know that this great spiritual power works. It will work for anyone, at any time, or at any place. The great inspiration and truth in your life and in my life is to come to a conscious vital realiza- tion of your oneness with this divine power and infinite life, and open up ourselves to its divine inflow. In the degree that you come to a conscious vital realization of your oneness 68 THE POWER THAT SELLS with divine power and open up yourself to the inflow of spiritual power do you realize in yourself the qualities and powers of God. How can you realize this spiritual power? To do this is to recognize and realize your true identity and to bring your activities into harmony with the same great laws and forces, to open yourself to the same great inspiration, and to par- take of the same great spiritual power that has made all the prophets, seers, sages, saviours, industrialists, and financiers of the world's history. In fact, all men of truly great and mighty power have made this realization a reality in their lives. Jefferson drew on it. Edison drew on it. Ford and Carnegie tell you that they drew on it. Steinmetz believed it to be man's greatest discovery. These men did not treat this great spiritual power as an abstract theory. They drew on it, appropriated it, and applied it to their activities every day, in order that they might carry out their plans with efficiency and enjoy the Garden of Eden right here and now, with its overflowing abundance of all the good things of life. |
