send forth his rays. If he were “sensitive” like most people that is what he would do. But Sol is too wise a God for that. He attends strictly to his own business of shining. So positively does he shine, and so fully is he absorbed in doing his best, that he shines upon not only the “just,” who appreciate his shine, but he shines joyously on the “unjust,” who only grumble in return. So positive is that blessed old Sol that he never feels a grumble! His shine just meets the grumble and transmutes it before it touches him!

The reason we get hurt by the unkind words of those about us is that we forget to shine.

There is a real sun center in us, the Solar (or Sun) Plexus. This is a great nerve center situated back of the stomach. When this central Sun, from which all the nerves of the body radiate, is in its normal condition, it steadily radiates a real energy, just as the sun does. This energy vibrates through the nerve highways and by-ways of the body out toward the surface of the body in all directions (the mucous membraneous surface, as well as the outer skin), and is thrown off in a real halo or atmosphere, which always envelopes the body. If this radiation from the Solar Plexus is positive enough, the influence of another person cannot disturb its steady, harmonious vibrations in time least.

And a person who is thus positively radiant wields an immense power for good to those less positive than himself. His presence alone, without a spoken word or even a definitely directed thought, stills the troubled minds with whom he comes in contact.

In all human beings, who have not yet learned the law of being, the Solar Plexus is in a cramped condition that prevents the steady flow of life, or “nerve ether,” to all parts of the body. From this cause comes every disease of the human race -- mental, physical or environmental.
