The Laws of Thought are the Laws of Destiny. Whatever you believe with feeling, that you bring into your life.
These little essays are intended to instruct the reader in Basic Spiritual Truth and to furnish material for short meditations. They were published once a week over a number of years.
The subjects are usually handled in a light and amusing style and often deal with familiar incidents in everyday life. The reason for this policy is as follows:
The writer has always believed that fundamental Spiritual, Philosophical, and Metaphysical Truths could be stated in the plainest and simplest language, so that any intelligent child could understand them. It is true that most writings on these great subjects have been very obscure and full of technical jargon, but the present writer believes that to be unnecessary.
Certain subjects, such as the higher mathematics, for instance, must remain out of reach of the layman, but this is not important because they do not concern his practical life. The understanding of Spiritual Truth, on the other hand, is not only the concern of Everyman but is a vital need of his life, and it must necessarily therefore be possible for him to obtain it in a form he can use. The loftiest and the most profound spiritual knowledge alike must be capable of being understood by any reasonably intelligent person over ten years of age.
These great Truths are actually revealed to us, not in the pages of inaccessible treasises, but in the seemingly petty and unimportant details of everyday life. Such practical details—the problems and experiences of day-to-day living—present the questions and also furnish the answers to the great problems of human life, when one has the Spiritual Key.
The writer tries as far as possible to avoid the use of technical terminology and never employs a word of three syllables where a word of two syllables will do.
Each of these Sparks illustrates one or more of the Laws of psychology or metaphysics. Try it in each case to find out for yourself which is the particular Law involved, and then see if you are using that Law constructively in your own life. If you are not, you must change your habits of thinking without delay, for the Laws of Thought are the Laws of Destiny.
"A small spark can start a great fire."
