Message # 105 You Can’t Find THIS at Barnes and Noble…

This message is dedicated to the great Walter Czajkowski.

I discovered Elbert Hubbard’s “Philistine” Magazine yesterday. Never heard of it? That’s because it’s from 1905. This magazine allowed Hubbard to express his opinions and philosophy. Each issue was printed by hand on a press. I managed to get a copy of one from December 1905. A yearly subscription was one dollar and a single copy, ten cents.

What is amazing is that the message is the same as what I talk about every day. Why is this information still around? Because it works!

There is a quote on the back of each issue and this is the one I have…”The Love you LIBERATE in your WORK is the LOVE You Keep.”

I like it. Here’s more from that issue.

“I believe that no one can harm us but ourselves; that sin is misdirected energy; that there is no devil but fear; and that the Universe is planned for good. I believe that work is a blessing, that winter is as necessary as summer, that night is as useful as day, that Death is a manifestation of Life, and just as good. I believe in the Now and Here. I believe in You & I believe in a Power that is in Ourselves that makes for Righteousness.” – Fra Elbertus

Fra Elbertus was the pseudonym for Elbert Hubbard.

“I express nothing original-the truth has always been known by the Sacred Few. And all I here do is to paraphrase these words uttered two thousand years ago.”

Thanks for reading.
