It is the law that whatever we think will appear in the world of form. When we project our thoughts through this law, whatever thoughts we have will appear exactly as we have imagined. This is like a projector that has been loaded with a movie film. When the switch is turned on, through this law, the image on the film will appear on the screen exactly as it was produced.

Thoughts are also like seeds. When the seeds are sown in the "world of laws," laws will cause the seeds to sprout, and according to the laws, the seeds that are sown will be harvested. When you plant chrysanthemum seeds, chrysanthemums will bloom; when you plant thistle, thistle will bloom. Therefore, it is to be expected that when we plant the seed of "illness" in the world of the mind, illness will appear, and when seeds of "poverty" are planted, poverty will appear. As much as we can, let us all visualize only happiness in our minds.

Wealth Is Not A Lump Of Matter

Wealth is not mere matter but is influenced by the mind.

Some years ago, a prime minister in Japan announced an austerity program. However, after it was announced, an economic depression immediately set in all over the country. The idea spread that the move money was spent, the more it would diminish.

Therefore, people did not spend their money and goods did not sell. As a result, many mid-sized commercial and industrial firms went bankrupt. Goods were not manufactured since they did not sell; therefore, workers were also furloughed or received cuts in pay. The depression worsened even more. In this way, as long as the idea prevailed that wealth diminishes when used, the wealth of the country steadily declined and did not increase at all. We are not of physical existence but of spiritual existence. Wealth circulates and increases infinitely only when we become enlightened to the thought that things circulated in the economic world are not of matter but of mind.
