From James Allen to You 57

From poverty to power; or, the realization of prosperity and peace.
Part 2: The path to prosperity
The silent power of thought: controlling and directing one’s forces 5

All these conditions of mind are the direct outcome of selfishness,
and are based upon an inherent belief
in the power and supremacy of evil;
they therefore constitute practical atheism;
and to live in, and become subject to,
these negative and soul-destroying conditions of mind
is the only real atheism.

It is salvation from such conditions that the race needs,
and let no man boast of salvation
whilst he is their helpless and obedient slave.

To fear or to worry is as sinful as to curse,
for how can one fear or worry
if he intrinsically believes in the Eternal justice,
the Omnipotent Good,
the Boundless Love?
To fear, to worry, to doubt,
is to deny,
to dis-believe.

inherent = existing as a natural or basic part of something
atheism = the fact of not believing in any god or gods
to boast = to have or own something to be proud of
