Victim or Victor? You Decide.
God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform wrote William Cowper in 1772. And if we could only get a long range perspective of the eternal scheme, we could see that these upheavals in our social, political and economic institutions are sent to break up the undesirable mass habits of men. They may be the means of clearing the way for growth and progress in the overall evolution of the race.
Men of great achievement may be playing parts in an overall pattern, or plan, and they may be serving some purpose far beyond their own conception. Take a man like Thomas A. Edison. He probably thought he was inventing to make money, but for all we know, nature may have had another idea. She may have been using him as an instrument for the betterment of all mankind. At least, he did improve the lot of every one of us.
Two great forces are working in the minds of all men to make them what they are. One is social heredity, and the other is physical heredity.
Physical heredity is the law of nature through which the sum and substance of all characteristics, traits and physical aspects of your ancestors, through the ages, have been handed on to you. You are unavoidably a product of all your ancestors.
Social heredity consists of every influence with which you will come in contact, from the time you reach a state of consciousness until you die. Your mother's and father's influence, your education, the conversations you listen to, religious influences, political ideas, the newspapers you read, the shows you see - they all have and will help to make you what you are. They are your social inheritance. Very few persons have what it takes to pull away from these and do some independent, accurate thinking for themselves. A few cast off their social inheritance and dare to be different and individualistic. When this happens, the world has an Edison, a Ford, a Thomas Paine, an Ingersoll or a Jonas Salk. But the vast majority of people allow themselves to become victims of social heredity. This is why straight thinking is such a rarity.
It's a great moment in your life when you break away from your social heredity and start doing your own thinking. Both social and physical heredity are under the direction of cosmic habitforce. Subconscious application is emphasized because they never consciously knew of this principle or what it was that literally swept them up the stairway to eminent success.
