To help those seekerswho cannot be reached in anyotherway. In my travelsthere were many peoplewho came asking for my experiencesin printed foim. It may be well to inform the readerthat theseexperiencestook placein many cities, towns and villages,from coastto coasf and Gulf to lakes. It is alsotruethat thereare many,manv episodesthat are not set down within thesecovers. It is true that thereare many teachers.It is equally true that thereeremanymodesof instruction. If the truths here- in recordeddo no[ alwayscomply with your previous rvay of thinking and believeing,let if pass. If the words and ex- pressionldo not meetwith youl preconceivedopinions, let ihat passalso. Ask the Christ-selfto revealto you the ker- nel of the Truth-and forget the husks. It would be folly for me to try to make you believe that theseexperiencesare the last word in Truth. By the same token, db not belierrethat you are privileged to contain the last word in Truth. Only The Chriit in you is the last word and the last resort. lt is my earnestwish and my great desireto reachout to peoplewhoseheartshungerfor aisistance. If theseepisodes ian-aid you in anyw^y, my reader,then my work will have its rewaid. For my part, I amgrateful to Light, to Life and to LOVE, for the opportunity of setting them down and sending them forth n'ith a p::yer and a blessing to those who can usethem. Sobe it! -Y/illiam J. Cassiere FORE\VORD To the individual who hasnot looked for miraclesabout him in his daily experiences,thesemay sound fantastic. But when we considerthat the ^venge individual can Passa houseor storetwo or more times a day in going back and forth to his laborswithout being able to describeit or to tell just where in the block it is located,even if he is able to re- call that thereir sucha placein the block, is just asfantastic to those of us who do notice, register and mentally index thesethings in what is calledby somethephotographicmind, It's all in the training, yet let me make another simile: In Court, testimonywas being heard in connection with a machinewhichwasableto directimpulsesbut which a grouP of individuals was trying to stop by labeling it as a fraud. The experttestifyingwasquestionedand cross'questionedby theoppositionattorneysuntil at lasta questionwasanswered in suih a way asto bring forth a claim ior the machinewhich had not yet beenimplied. "'$?'ell," snortedthe lawyer, "that's a new angle, yet you know, Mr. H., that what you sayis impossible,don't you?" Mr. H., the elecuical wizard and expert, replied, "No, f don't know it is impossible,but I do know that this machine is capableof doing what I have said it would becauseI, personally,worked-with the inventor on this machine after it was marketedand we testedit out. Further, Mister At- torney, I know you are an educatedman' a lawyer, a man who has specializedin Law.

One individual presentat the gathering*'as loathe to acceptthe "happcn- itances" as miracles. "Rather," said this hard boiled busi- nessman, "those things are just co-incidences." "Yes, I agreewith you," I said, "and let me tell you of some of them." So I told of some of those experiences which came to my mind and the individuals thoseco-inci- dencesco-incidedwith. I can only say to that type of in- dividual, "God blessyou on your unbelieving wayl' Ilut we whc love to have God in our lives will go on decreeing and affirming,prayineand thanking Him for the marvelous co-incidenceswe arehaving. No matter s'hat your religiousbeliefs are, God is no re- specterof labelsor affiliations. He requeststhat you "Ask me of things to comeand concerningthe n'orksof mv hands commandye me." (Isaiah45:11). "Beforeye call I will answer." (Isaiah 65:24). "Thou shalt decreea tlring and I will fulfill it." $ob 22-28). "Call unto me and I will answerthee." (Jeremiah3):3). The incidents related began when, as a student of the Laws of Life, I beganthe deeperapplicationof Truth in my daily experiences. I had studied metaphysicswith several schoolsbut, like most students,I had just talked it-didn't use it; so I found that talk is cheap. Yet Jesussaid, "By thy n'ordsthou shaltbe justifiedand by thy words thou shalt be condemned." (I\'fatthervl2-J7). ln l9)3-Jtnuary it was-I beganto affirm and visualize, to ask and decreein earnest. All thesemiraclesbegan to happen about tlrat time-and they have continueduntil this d"y.

It y"r in F9bruary,af.tera coldsnap. in Chicagoa small neighborhoodpark had beenmy habitatduringthe hours {oq 9 to 12 everymorning. During thosehoursI circled the lagoonby a path which bordere-dits shores. !(fhen I EPISODEOF'ITALKING ON \rATER 7' say"I circled",that is not quite right, becausethis park had a lagoonwhich was shapedmore like an elongatedfigure 8. I chose this path aiound this figure 8 for my study- ground,to makemy de;rees,whereI visualizedandaffirmed' The previousweek had beenwarm enough so that there was no labor to my ramblings around and around, time after time, giving my af.firmationsand thanking God and thinking Good. But oirenight the barometerfell; so did rain, which later becamesleet and snow. The trees were covered, as was all else. Eventhe electric and telephonewires were covered with a magic substance-an icy, frosty covering, creating a sceneof winter beauty and grandeur. The lagoon was frozen and one part of it-the top loop of the figure was closedfor s[ating and other iie sports. So, insteadof oassingaround the top loop, where there were dozensof iril"rio-.,schildren (and grown-uPs), I took the opportunity of walking overthe'icejust stortof thebarrier,thusavoiding the noisy-merrymakers. Thus my meditations were only slightly interrupted. Yet I circled only the larger loop. This cold spell lasted for two weeksor more. You can seethat I mademany, many trips on the path encircling the lagoon, crossingover on the ice at a point where_the loop of the figure 8 was narrow like a bottleneck. Habit is a curious task-master. Forceof habit is also a peculiar thing. Oft times one does things through force of habit that he would not otherwisedo, especiallywhen in deep meditation. This morning in question I left my home in concentration over a problem-whicil trad arisen. By the time I had arrived at the |ark and started my "daily work" as I called it, my mind i'as full of Light and I was in ecstacyover Light's answer to my call. -A beautiful vision was given me and I held to it aslong as possible,walking, rneanwhile, around the loop of the lagoon as I had done in the last two weeks or so, ciossingovel the ice at the neck of the figure 8. On this morning the sun shonewith a warrnth that was a joy to feel. On eachtrip about the path it was mv custom, MIRACLESOF TODAY when facing the sun, to give recognition to the One called Helios and alsoto the Archangel Michael. In the midst of my meditationsan interruption camethat jarred my sensesso that I camedown to reality with a jolt. I looked around me in consternation. I was at the boitle- neckportion of the joining of the loops of the figure 8 when I realizedthat therew^s no ice tnder me! Then, like Peter, I beganto sink. Luckily, I had almost crossed,for I sank only to my waist before I touched bottom and waded the restof the distanceto shoreand thencehomefor dry clothing. During the night previous a warm spell had melted the tcq and how many times I had walked acrossthe neck, on water, that day I cannot say. My meditations had kept me too busy to notice that the crowds were no longer sklting. Force of habit had kept me walking over the seme path that I traversedfor the last ten daysor rnore. The Master, in commenting upon the incident, said, "Human beings c6uld walk on water as easily as on land; it is only human consciousnessthat makes men step into water rather than upon it." "Man, know thyself!" is a much quoted axiom, but it showsthat "Ye are Gods." To the earneststudent may this advice be acceptedin the same loving spirit in which it is tendered. Try anything that you have the courage to try, but don't talk about it to anyone,anybody. "Tell no man," said Jesus. And I like to say, "Talk to people and trouble grows; talk to God and trouble goes!" So, talk to God, for "One with God is a majority!"

I acknowledge their aid and give thanks to the Great Presenceof Life for directing them to rne. It is my sinceredesire that others derive as much en- joyment as I did from their pages. w.J.c.
