There is nomeans by which fate can be tricked, nor cunning device by which the greatcosmic plan can be evaded. Each life must meet its own troubles anddifficulties: each soul must pass through its deep waters, every heart mustencounter sorrow and grief. But none need be overwhelmed in the greatconflicts of life, for one who has learned the great secret of his identity withthe Universal life and Power, dwells in an impregnable city, built upon andinto the Rock of Truth, against which the storms of life beat in vain.While this little work does not offer any vain promises of an easy lifefor, ifthis were possible, it would be the greatest of all disastersbut ratherendeavours to show how to become so strong that life looks almost easy bycomparison (the life or fate does not change or become easier, but theindividual alters and becomes stronger), yet, it does show the reader how toavoid making his life more difficult than it need be. Most peoples liveswould be less filled with trouble and suffering if they took life in the rightspirit and acted in harmony with Universal Law.It is hoped that this little book may help many to come into harmony withlifes law and purpose and thus avoid much needless suffering: to find theGreater Self within, which discovery brings with it a realization of absolutesecurity: to bring into expression and wisely use their inner spiritual andmental forces and thus enter a life of overcoming and almost boundlesspower.
