Next, and
most important, you must have absolute faith in your own
perceptions of truth. Never act in haste or hurry; be
deliberate in everything; wait until you feel that you know the
true way. And when you do feel that you know the true way, be
guided by your own faith though the entire world shall disagree
with you. If you do not believe what God tells you in little
things, you will never draw upon his wisdom and knowledge in
larger things. When you feel deeply that a certain act is the
right act, do it and have perfect faith that the consequences
will be good. When you are deeply impressed that a certain
thing is true, no matter what the appearances to the contrary
may be, accept that thing as true and act accordingly. The one
way to develop a perception of truth in large things is to
trust absolutely to your present perception of Truth in small
things. Remember that you are seeking to develop this very
power or faculty - the perception of truth; you are learning to
read the thoughts of God. Nothing is great and nothing is small
in the sight of Omnipotence; he holds the sun in its place, but
he also notes a sparrow’s fall, and numbers the hairs of your
head.
