Living Within

John Wesley Zeagler

PREFACE

The title of this little book may cause many to ask the questions: “What does it mean to live within?” “How can one live within? We answer, “Look and see and learn for yourself.”

Though scattering, how beautiful are these thoughts, given just as they have unfolded in the mind of the writer, either while walking or riding or working. He feels he must give them to others. Indeed, it is not for any praise or profit, but it is the joy which comes to all in serving and helping others that has so filled the author’s heart that he is impelled to issue this small volume, with the hope that other lives may be made sweeter and brighter by the light of love that illumines every line. This feeling of pure love flowing so freely from his heart, so indelibly stamps itself on every line, that it cannot fail to reach the minds and hearts of its readers.

J. W. Z.

LIVING WITHIN

When o’er these pages hastily we read,

But little we get there from indeed:

Then let us read between each line,

With a fully understanding mind.

If just an item, or only one thought within these covers can start someone to thinking, or open the door of the inner self to some ready minds, showing forth the highest and purest that dwells within, we shall feel amply rewarded for all our effort, for we know full well the few moments that we spend in meditating over these pages are moments when we dip our precious cup of life down deep in this ocean of beautiful, living thoughts.

Thoughts are truly and indeed food, and the only food for all living humanity. We cannot live upon the thoughts of others any more than we can live upon the food of which another partakes. When we think right we will do right and live right. If we really wish to live, we must first learn to use our own thinking powers. Simply to agree with others, and be lead by others in their way of thinking, and not do our own thinking, is to live a dead life; for all of life, the fullness of life, comes to us through thinking “rightly.

Are we not apt to blame somebody,—the world or something else, —when our life is not pleasant and harmonious? We so often forget— or we do not know—that through our own thoughts we are our best friend or our worst enemy. Each day through our thoughts we are building our world and living in it. There is nothing that needs more careful watching than our thoughts. All unseen things soon change into the seen through the growth of thought. Just as we are within so we are without.

By our own words we bring upon ourselves sorrow or joy; all are creators, creating each and every day by their own words. Jesus said, “By thy word thou art justified and by thy word thou art condemned,” thus proving that we make our own way and live therein, for the way never makes us. Things that we wish would never come to us, and we never want to be like, must never be talked about by us; but let our words be truthful, and of the highest and noblest, just as we would desire to become. Live within thyself, or keep thyself within thyself, and thine own will supply thee. When we connect our inner, our true self, with the Infinite Source, the fountain head, all supplies are ours, now, even now, today!
