How To Think - Creative Thinking ~ Walter Russell (1935) " This is a thought-wave universe. All matter and masses of matter are the bodies of thought. More simply stated, matter is pure thought. All matter has a meaning which tells of the IDEA it manifests. Thinking is for the purpose of building thought-bodies to symbolize thought-imaginings and creating bodies by thought-wave motion to image those thoughts. Your body is the image of your thinking. Its state of health or strength is a record of your thinking. If you inherited an imperfect body, you can think your knowing in the direction of its perfection. You can think only that which you know, or imagine, or desire. Likewise, you can create or express or give out only that which you know. Your power lies in true knowledge from the still source within rather than information from the sensed world without. Your ability to express that power in building bodies lies in what knowledge your Consciousness is aware of. Knowledge will build for you a stable life. You can continually transform yourself, and your life condition, only through continually acquiring greater knowledge, then thinking that knowledge into the form of you. What you think, you become. “Knowledge” is that which you can dynamically and scientifically explain—and then demonstrate. Knowledge is idea—and “balanced thinking” is the power to think idea into balanced effect in the perfect image of the idea which is its cause. The mold of your life depends upon your ability to emulate the balance of Nature in your thinking. Likewise, the status of world civilization is dependent upon its ability to balance its thinking as gravity balances Nature’s actions with its reactions. All creative action requires much effort given in love in order to build the desired expression. Power lies in successful use of the science of creative thinking. " This creating universe of all that is, or ever has been, is the result of balanced thought and action. Thinking alone is not creative thinking. If the Universal Mind were limited to thinking alone, the universe of form and motion would never have been. It would not have been created. It would have been limited to the idea of itself, the concept of itself, without form and void. When the God-force of creation acts upon the thought-idea of the universe, the God-force demonstrated the principle contained in the divine Idea and the universe comes into being—forever “creating.” The Supreme Ruler of all things can do only two things: THINK and ACT. Out of balanced thought and action, God’s creating universe appears. Man can also do only two things: THINK and ACT. Out of the more or less balanced thoughts and actions of man his universe of created things appears. These two things the Universal Mind does, man must also do in order to express power. The dependability of Natural Law grows out of the balance of power between the two creative principles of Nature. The undependability of man’s creations grows out of his lack of ability to balance his thinking with his acting. Nature is absolute. Without Natural Law there is no room for unbalance. Every portion of the universal concept must come into being (or form) true to concept. Man’s aspirations and concepts rarely come into being true to concept. His thoughts and actions rarely balance themselves. When any man who conceives a great principle can balance the power of that thought-principle with an equally balanced series of actions to give perfection of form to that principle, he is heralded by all men as a genius. The success of such a person lies in his relative ability to demonstrate a thought-principle by creating a form for it. The greater a man’s ability to express himself creatively by demonstrating the thought-principles which flow through him, the greater his power. The Universal Creative Force, as evidenced in Natural Law, should be man’s standard, his guide, and his goal. The nearer man’s approach to the absolute balance between universal creative thought and universal creative action, as expressed by the electric interrelation between space and material form of this electric universe of balanced thought and action, the greater the power of man. Knowledge of itself is not power, as the proverb states, nor does one’s ability to think great thoughts constitute power, for thinking without action creates nothing. No principle has been demonstrated. The thinker has not demonstrated creative ability until he has acted to bring the form of his idea into being. Thinking without action images visions which die stillborn. Dreamers and visionaries who do not act to give form to their dreams and visions do not express power. They are impotent even though their inspiration be the mightiest ever conceived in the mind of man. They do not serve the world, even though their inner ecstasy makes them feel as a god. Action without thinking does not constitute power, and for the same reason. Through action alone nothing is created. Through action alone things created by others are but repeated. Actions expressed upon the foundations of other peoples’ creations are labor. Laborers are followers of leaders who create. In a certain respect they are physical extensions of minds which function in other bodies. As man can do but two things, think and act, so must man be ever classified as thinker or follower/laborer in accordance with each man’s ability to both think and act. Thinking is done with the mind and actions are performed with the body. The mind of the thinker contacts the inspirational Source of the Universal Mind from which this creating universe knows and owes its being. To the thinker there are no limitations which are not universal. The mind of the follower/laborer is bound to his body sensing. His limitations are the limitations of objective and material sensing. He is a follower who resists change, for he is trained to repeat things as they are. The thinker has no fear of anything. He is above fear. The follower fears everything. His objectivity breeds fear of everything in him. The still center of man is the Kingdom of God, the still Light. And around that still Light is the coil, or a series of coils that we call “man,” his knowing and thinking. There is no expression of power there, whatsoever, other than the power expressed in matter itself, until man knows and thinks. All the power that man has is in his knowing. And all of it is expressed only by his thinking. However, work must be performed in order to express power. But the power that we express is not in the body. The power that we express is in the still fulcrum of God centering every man—the Light which centers everyone and every creating thing. In that still fulcrum of rest is all the power. The action which extends from it is the expression of power, what we call Creation. "
