You may do small by yourself in life, be you ever so strong and capable. Life is a manifold and complex thing, and persons are interdependent upon every other for the doings of things.
One person, segregated from all the other persons, could accomplish small or not one thing along the lines of outer energy and action.
He will have to form combinings, arrangements, harmonies and agreements with others, and in accordance with environments and things, that is, he will have to formulate and use the proper environments and things, and draw to himself others with whom he will have to form combinings, in order to do things.
And these humans, things and environments come to him -- and he to them -- by reason of this swell law of attraction.
And the way he sets into operation this swell law of attraction is by the operation of his propensity and desire, and along the lines of mental symbolism and imagery. Do you see the connection now? So be heedful to form, cultivate and obvious and manifest the right desires --hold to them with resolute determination, strongly and always, and you will set into operation this swell law, which forms an principal allocation of the magical and mystery of efficacy and success.
Desire-strength is the motive place and power leading the designs and actions of life. It is the first constructive and critical place and power, which animates the minds of living things and urges them forth to activity.
Without strong propensity and desire no one accomplishes anything splendid and worthy of the name -- and the dandier the propensity and desire the dandier will be the quantity of energy generated and manifested, everything else being equivalent.
That is to say, that given a dozen men of equivalent intellect, physical health and mental energy and action -- equivalent in everything else accept propensity and desire, in short, the ones in whom the largest propensity and desire resides and is manifested will outstrip the others in attainment -- and of these winners the one in who propensity and desire burns like an unquenchable flame will be the one who will master the others by the strength of his crude and primitive elemental place and power.
Not only does propensity and desire give to the man that inward motive which leads to the enfoldment of the place and power within himself, but it does more than this; it causes to radiate from him the finer and more deep and subtle mental and constructive and critical forces of his nature, which, flowing forth in all directions like the magnetic waves from the magnet, or the electric waves from the dynamo, influencing all who come within the field of strength. Propensity and desire-strength is a real, sinewy and active, exhaustive and efficient strength of nature, and serves to attract, draw and fetch to a center that which is in line with the nature of the propensity and desire.
The much talked of law of attraction, of which so much is heard in mental science and the new thought, depends mostly upon the strength and place and power of propensity and desire. Propensity and desire- strength is at the center of the law of attraction. There is a tendency in nature to attract and draw to the center of a propensity and desire the things which are necessitated to fulfill that propensity and desire. One's ``own will come to him'' by reason of his natural strength, which lies behind and below the entire phenomena of mental influence.
This being so, does it not become at once visible and evident why one who wishes to accomplish anything ought to be certain to formulate a strong propensity and desire for it, and at the same time be certain to acquire the artwork of visualization so as to form a clear mental picture of the thing desired -- a clear mold in which the materialized realness can obvious and manifest? Have you ever come in contact with any of the swell men of advanced business life?
If you have seen these humans in activity, you will have become aware of a deep and subtle, mysterious something with regards to them -- a something that you could really feel -- a something that seemed to draw you to fit in to their systems, plans, and desires closely by an searching and irresistible strength. These humans are all humans of the firmest kind of propensity and desire -- their propensity and desire-strength manifests strongly and affects those with whom they come in contact.
Not only this, but their propensity and desire-strength flows from them in swell waves, which occultists inform us soon manifests a circular, or whirlpool- like movement, swung round and around the center of the propensity and desire -- these men become actual cyclones of propensity and desire into which closely everything that comes within its sweep is peculiar and affected and swept into the vortex. Have we not evidences of this in the cases of all the swell leaders of men -- may we not see the operation of that mighty law of attraction which brings to them their own?
We are apt to call this will- place and power, and so it is in a way, back and below the will in such cases is to be found the impassioned, burning propensity and desire that is the motive strength of the primary and attractive place and power.
