Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself. MAN IS BUFFETED BY CIRCUMSTANCES SO LONG AS HE BELIEVES HIMSELF TO BE THE CREATURE OF OUTSIDE CONDITIONS BUT WHEN HE REALIZES THAT HE IS A CREATIVE POWER AND THAT HE MAY COMMAND THE HIDDEN SOIL AND SEEDS OF HIS BEING OUT OF WHICH HIS CIRCUMSTANCES GROW HE THEN BECOMES THE RIGHTFUL MASTER OF HIMSELF
nment and circumstance, the outer conditions of a person's life will always be found to be harmoniously related to his inner state. This does not mean that a man's circumstances at any given time are an indication of his _entire_ character, but that those circumstances are so intimately connected with some vital thought-element within himself that, for the time being, they are indispensable to his development. Every man is where he is by the law of his being; the thoughts which he has built into his character have brought him there, and in the arrangement of his life there is no element of chance, but all is the result of a law which cannot err. This is just as true of those who feel "out of harmony" with their surroundings as of those who are contented with them. As a progressive and evolving being, man is where he is that he may learn that he may grow; and as he learns the spiritual lesson which any circumstance contains for him, it passes away and gives place to other circumstances. SELF THROUGH ENVIRONMENT AND CIRCUMSTANCE THE OUTER CONDITIONS OF A PERSON'S LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE FOUND TO BE HARMONIOUSLY RELATED TO HIS INNER STATE THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT A MAN'S CIRCUMSTANCES AT ANY GIVEN TIME ARE AN INDICATION OF HIS ENTIRE CHARACTER BUT THAT THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE SO INTIMATELY CONNECTED WITH SOME VITAL THOUGHT ELEMENT WITHIN HIMSELF THAT FOR THE TIME BEING THEY ARE INDISPENSABLE TO HIS DEVELOPMENT EVERY MAN IS WHERE HE IS BY THE LAW OF HIS BEING THE THOUGHTS WHICH HE HAS BUILT INTO HIS CHARACTER HAVE BROUGHT HIM THERE AND IN THE ARRANGEMENT OF HIS LIFE THERE IS NO ELEMENT OF CHANCE BUT ALL IS THE RESULT OF A LAW WHICH CANNOT ERR THIS IS JUST AS TRUE OF THOSE WHO FEEL OUT OF HARMONY WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS AS OF THOSE WHO ARE CONTENTED WITH THEM AS A PROGRESSIVE AND EVOLVING BEING MAN IS WHERE HE IS THAT HE MAY LEARN THAT HE MAY GROW AND AS HE LEARNS THE SPIRITUAL LESSON WHICH ANY CIRCUMSTANCE CONTAINS FOR HIM IT PASSES AWAY AND GIVES PLACE TO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES
