TO BE HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED.

 

"Some dear relatives of mine proposed Ada as my future bride. I like Ada

and I gladly accepted the offer and I mean to wed her about the middle

of this year. Is this a working of the Law of Attraction? I want to make

our married life happy and peaceful. I long for a wedded life of pure

blessedness and love and joy without even a pinhead of bitterness ever

finding lodgment in our household. How can I attain this state of peace?

This is what I now do: I enter into the Silence daily at a particular

hour and enjoy the mental picture of how I desire to be when married. Am

I right? Please tell me how to make my ideal real." Tudor, Island of

Ceylon.

 

The above letter comes from a member of the Success Circle who is a

highly cultured and interesting looking man. We have a

full length photo of him in native costume.

 

He asks if "this is the working of the Law of Attraction." Certainly it

is. Just as the sun acts through a sheet of glass so the Law of

Attraction acts through the conventionalities of a race. Whatever comes

together is drawn together by the Law. Whatever is held together is held

by that same Law of Attraction.

 

This is just as true in unhappy marriages as in happy ones. If two

people are distinctly enough individualized; that is, if they understand

and command themselves sufficiently; their attraction and marriage will

bring to them only pleasure. If they are not distinctly enough

individualized, there will be a monkey-and-parrot experience whilst they

are working out the wisdom for which they were attracted.

 

When soda and sour milk are drawn together there is a great stew and

fizz, but the end thereof is sweetness and usefulness. So with two

adverse and uncontrolled natures; but out of the stew comes added

wisdom, self-command and rounded character for each.

 

When each has finished the work of helping the other to develop they

will either find themselves really in love with each other, or they

will fall apart. Some stronger attraction will separate them at the

right time - perhaps through divorce, perhaps through death.

 

All our goings and comings are due to the Law of Attraction. The Law

of Attraction giveth, and it taketh away. Blessed is the Law. Let it

work. And forget not that all things are due to its working.

 

This does not mean that the Law has no way of working except through
