The Ideal
Made Real
Christian D Larson (1909)
Foreword
The purpose of this work is to present practical methods through
which anyone, the beginner in particular, may realize his ideals,
cause his cherished dreams to come true, and cause the visions of
the soul to become tangible realities in everyday life.
The best minds now believe that the ideal can be made real; that
every lofty idea can be applied in practical living, and that all
that is beautiful on the heights of existence can be made permanent
expressions in personal existence. And so popular is this belief
becoming that it is rapidly permeating the entire thought of the
world. Accordingly, the demand for instructive knowledge on this
subject, that is simple as well as scientific, is becoming almost
universal.
This book has been written to supply that demand. However, it does
not claim to be complete; nor could any work on "The Ideal
Made Real" possibly be complete, because the ideal world is
limitless and the process of making real the ideal is endless. To
know how to begin is the principal secret, and he who has learned
this secret may go on further and further, forever and forever,
until he reaches the most sublime heights that endless existence
has in store.
No attempt has been made to formulate the ideas, methods and principles
presented, into a definite system. In fact, the tendency to form
a new system of thinking or a new philosophy of life, has been purposely
avoided. Closely defined systems invariably become obstacles to
advancement, and we are not concerned with new philosophies of life.
Our purpose is the living of a greater and a greater life, and in
such a life all philosophies must constantly change.
In preparing the following pages, the object has been to take the
beginner out of the limitations of the old into the boundlessness
of the new; to emphasize the fact that the possibilities that are
latent in the human mind are nothing less than marvelous, and that
the way to turn those possibilities to practical use is sufficiently
simple for anyone to understand. But no method has been presented
that will not tend to suggest new and better methods as required
for further advancement. The best ideas are those that inspire new
ideas, better ideas, and greater ideas. The most perfect science
of life is that science that gives each individual the power to
create and recreate his own science as he ascends in the scale of
life.
(Great souls are developed only where minds are left free to employ
the best-known methods according to their own understanding and
insight. And it is only as the soul grows greater and greater that
the ideal can be made real. It is individuality and originality
that give each person the power to make his own life as he may wish
it to be; but those two important factors do not flourish in definite
systems. There is no progress where the soul is placed in the hands
of methods; true and continuous progress can he promoted only where
all ideas, all methods and all principles are placed in the hands
of the soul.
We have selected the best ideas and the best methods known for making
the ideal real, and through this work, will place them in your hands.
We do not ask you to follow these methods; we simply ask you to
use them. You will then find them all to be practical; you will
find that every one will work and produce the results you desire.
You will then, not only make real the ideal in your present sphere
of life, but you will also develop within yourself that Greater
Life, the power of which has no limit, the joy of which has no end.
