Thinking and Destiny (1946)

Thinking and Destiny: With a Brief Account of the Descent of Man Into this Human World, and How he will Return To the Eternal Order of Progression (PDF)

• A thought has no size in the physical sense but is vast as compared to the physical acts and objects into which it is later precipitated. The power of a thought is enormous and superior to all the successive physical acts, objects, and events that body forth its energy. A thought often endures for a time much greater than the whole life of the man who thought it.
  • Ch. 4 : Operation of the Law of Thought, § 2, p. 67

• This is the law: Every thing existing on the physical plane is an exteriorization of thought, which must be balanced through the one who issued the thought, and in accordance with that one’s responsibility, at the conjunction of time, condition, and place.
  • Ch. 4 : Operation of the Law of Thought, § 7, p. 102

Quotes about Percival

• Because Thinking and Destiny is so rich with inspired information, most of which requires extensive study, I have prepared The Path to introduce readers to those concepts in Percival’s book which are the easiest to comprehend. These are taken directly from Thinking and Destiny, most of the statements in this book being in Percival’s own words.
  It is essential that all men and women become aware of what they are, why they are here on Earth and what they must do to preserve civilization before it is too late.
  I believe that the beginning of this awareness can be found in The Path.
  • Richard Matheson in his introduction to The Path (1999), his work based on Percival's ideas
