Combine the spiritual and the
scientific !
Dy combining the spiritual and the scientific, we can add tremendous power to our thinking and speed up the spiritual evolution of man, on which, solving the problems of the world depends.
Let us review the scientific formula and see how we can add the creative plus factor to each of the four steps:
1. Saturation, preparation, stimulation. In your search for data use the power of prayer. Ask to be directed to the people, the books, the facts that you need.
2. Incubation. Once you have accumulated data and consciously worked on the problem, release your problem to God with a prayer that the answer will come in its own good time and place. Hold the attitude of faith and expectancy, knowing that God has all the answers, that His knowledge is limitless and can never be exhausted.
3. Illumination. Keep your mind open. Have a quiet time each day in which you relax with an open mind waiting for the ideas to come. When the inspiration comes, write your idea down in a notebook. Thank God for it and ask him to bless it and help you to put it to work to serve men.
4. Verification. Pray that you may judge ideas from the standpoints of truth and justice. Realize that only ideas in harmony with God's infinite laws of life are from Him. Evaluating ideas with the Golden Rule Standard will eliminate those that are unworthy of your highest purpose.
