About this ebook
Elizabeth Towne
Elizabeth Jones Towne (May 11, 1865 – June 1, 1960) was an influential writer, editor, and publisher in the New Thought and self-help movements.She married at quite an early age, but the marriage proved to be an unhappy one which ended in divorce. She had to support herself and her children.Her schooling had been interrupted by her early marriage and she had no background of business experience; but one day, as she tells it herself, it suddenly came to her that she should undertake to publish a small periodical. She had no capital with which to begin it, but secured some help from her father, $30 per month for a six-month period, and so launched the magazine which by a kind of inspiration she chose to call Nautilus.In May, 1900, Elizabeth brought the Nautilus to Holyoke, Massachusetts, and there married William E. Towne, a book and magazine publisher and distributor, and together they eventually built up a substantial and even profitable business in the publishing and distribution of the magazine and of New Thought books.Though never an official publication of the New Thought Movement, Nautilus was most probably the most widely read of the many that have appeared over the years, and was very influential.

APPLIED CONCENTRATION
How may I learn concentration? is a question oft repeated. And answered. And again repeated. So I am going to tell you about the easiest, most natural, helpful, kill-two-birds-with-one-stone method I know of. And I can vouch for its efficacy.
But first, let us be sure we know what we are aiming to do. To concentrate one’s mind is to turn all of one’s thought upon one thing NOW. You cannot concentrate all your thought upon either past or future because present surroundings will demand some measure of attention. But just Here and Now is a shining focus for all your thought.
And there are two sides of that shining point: The world I AM
and the "world I do."
Thought comes from the silent, unseen side I AM
out into that "I do. Now cogitate that well.
I AM is the womb of thought, of all things. What
I do is
borned" thought.
But by far the larger part of our thought never gets into the world "I do. Most of our thoughts are stillborn; choked to death coming through that shining passage between the
world I AM and the
world I do."
What chokes them?—we do. The "world I do" refuses to receive what I AM. You see, when all is said and done, it is what I do that rules the universe, seen and unseen. Or, to better express it, it is what I do which utilizes the unseen, the I AM, the God of the universe.
And what do you suppose causes us to refuse to receive thought from the world I AM?
Our will shuts up that shining passage way and chokes back what I AM.
Fear thoughts are shadow children born among the incompletenesses of "the world I do."
But as long as we do not know this, these shadow children affect us as potently as do the real thought children of the world I AM.
Sometimes they affect us more powerfully than the real thoughts, because they are more tangible to the senses we have been wont to exercise in the "world I do."
Our will is worked by the thought children we entertain. Remember that.
And remember, too, that "I AM what I desire to be." I AM omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence; I AM love, life, energy, beauty, grace.
And never mind the shadow thoughts of incompleteness.
Thus you will relax and LET thoughts from the world I AM
come through the shining way into what you do.
That shining way is the NOW.
NOW are we ready to be still and LET what I AM come into this thing I do.
Do you perceive what is meant by concentration?
