4:45crippled States making them whole vital

5:03it can open the prison door of the mind
5:06and liberate you
5:07it can free you from all kinds of
5:09material and physical bondage
5:12if you want to make progress in any
5:14field of endeavor there is an essential
5:16first step
5:18you must discover a working basis that
5:20is universal its application
5:22before you can become skilled in the
5:25operation of your subconscious mind you
5:27must understand its principles
5:29once that is achieved you can practice
5:31its powers knowing the results you will
5:34certainly obtain
5:35you can apply these powers for the
5:37definite specific purposes and goals you
5:39want to accomplish
5:41for many years I followed the profession
5:43of chemist
5:45one of the first things I learned in my
5:47early training was that if you combine
5:49two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen
5:51the product will be water not
5:53occasionally or most of the time always
5:57if you take one atom of oxygen and one
5:59atom of carbon and combine them you will
6:02produce carbon monoxide a poisonous gas
6:05but if you add another atom of oxygen
6:08you will get carbon dioxide a gas that
6:11is harmless to animals and vital to
6:13plants
6:14these facts are Universal and
6:16unchangeable
6:18they are what we call principles
6:20the principles of chemistry physics and
6:23Mathematics are no different in their
6:25workings from the principles of your
6:27subconscious mind
6:28if you want to make use of chemical or
6:31physical forces you must learn the
6:33principles of these fields
6:35if you want to make use of the force of
6:37your subconscious mind you must learn
6:39its principles
6:41take the generally accepted principle
6:43water seeks its own level
6:46this is a universal principle
6:48it applies to water everywhere at any
6:51time and to all liquids that behave like
6:53water
6:55the ancient Egyptians knew this
6:57principle
6:58they used it to make the foundations of
7:00the Great Pyramids perfectly level
7:03today Engineers use it when planning
7:05everything from an irrigation system to
7:07a hydroelectric power station
7:10or take the principle matter expands
7:13when heated
7:14this is true anywhere at any time and
7:17under all circumstances
7:19if you heat a piece of Steel it will
7:22expand whether the steel is found in
7:24China England India or in an orbiting
7:27Space Station
7:28matter expands when heated
7:31this is a universal truth
7:33it is also a universal truth that
7:36whatever you impress on your
7:37subconscious mind is expressed on the
7:39screen of space as condition experience
7:42and event
7:43your prayer is answered because your
7:45subconscious mind is principle and by
7:48principle I mean the way a thing works
7:51for example the principle of electricity
7:53is that it works from a higher to a
7:55lower potential
7:57you do not change the principle of
7:59electricity when you turn on a lamp or
8:01cook on an electric stove
8:03no you use the principle
8:06by cooperating with nature you can bring
8:09forth marvelous inventions and
8:11discoveries that bless Humanity in
8:13countless ways
8:15your subconscious mind is principle
8:18it works according to the law of belief
8:21you must know what belief is why it
8:23works and how it works
8:26your Bible says in a simple clear and
8:29beautiful way
8:30whosoever shall say unto this mountain
8:33be thou removed and be thou cast into
8:36the sea and shall not doubt in his heart
8:38but shall believe that those things
8:40which he saith shall come to pass he
8:42shall have whatsoever he saith
8:44Mark 1 23
8:47the law of your mind is the law of
8:49belief
8:50this means to believe in the way your
8:52mind works to believe in belief itself
8:56the belief of your mind is the thought
8:57of your mind just that and nothing else
9:01all your experiences events conditions
9:04and acts are produced by your
9:06subconscious mind in reactions to your
9:08thoughts
9:09remember it is not the thing believed in
9:12but the belief in your own mind which
9:14brings about the result
9:16stop accepting the false beliefs
9:18opinions superstitions and fears that
9:22plague our humankind
9:24begin to believe in the Eternal verities
9:26and truths of life that never change
9:29at that point you will move onward
9:31upward and godward
9:33all those who read this book and
9:35Faithfully apply the principles of the
9:37subconscious mind that are set forth
9:39here will gain the ability to pray
9:41scientifically and effectively for
9:43themselves and for others
9:45your prayer is answered according to the
9:47universal law of action and reaction
9:50thought is incipient action
9:53the reaction is the response from your
9:55subconscious mind which corresponds to
9:57the nature of your thought
9:59fill your mind with the concepts of
10:01Harmony Health peace and Good Will and
10:04wonders will happen in your life
10:07you have only one mind but that one mind
10:10possesses two distinctive characteristic
10:12functional parts
10:14the frontier that separates the two is
10:16well known to the students of the Mind
10:19the two functions of your mind are
10:21essentially different from each other
10:23each has its own separate and distinct
10:26attributes and Powers
10:28many names have been used to distinguish
10:30the two functions of your mind
10:33these include the objective and the
10:35subjective mind the conscious and the
10:37subconscious mind the waking and
10:39sleeping mind the surface and the Deep
10:42self the voluntary and the involuntary
10:44mind the male and the female mind and
10:47many others
10:49all of these whatever their implications
10:51are recognitions of this essential
10:54duality
10:55throughout this book I use the terms
10:57conscious and subconscious to represent
10:59the Dual nature of your mind
11:02if another set of terms comes more
11:04easily to you by all means use it
11:07the important starting point is to
11:09recognize and acknowledge the double
11:11nature of the Mind
11:13a wonderful way to begin getting to know
11:15the two functions of your mind is to
11:17think of it as a garden
11:19you are the gardener
11:21you are planting seeds of thought in
11:24your subconscious mind all day long
11:26much of the time you're not even aware
11:29of doing so because the seeds are based
11:31on your habitual thinking
11:33as you sow in your subconscious mind so
11:36show you reap in your body and
11:37environment
11:39imagine your subconscious mind as a bad
11:41or rich soil that will help all kinds of
11:44seeds to sprout and flourish whether
11:46good or bad
11:48if you sow Thorns will you gather grapes
11:51if you sow thistles will you harvest
11:54figs
11:55every thought is a cause and every
11:58condition is an effect
12:00this is the reason it is so essential
12:02that you take charge of your thoughts
12:04in that way you can bring forth only
12:07desirable conditions
12:09begin now to sow thoughts of peace
12:11happiness right action Goodwill and
12:15prosperity
12:16think quietly and with conviction on
12:18these qualities
12:20accept them fully in your conscious
12:22reasoning mind
12:24continue to plant these wonderful seeds
12:26of thought in the garden of your mind
12:28and you will reap a glorious Harvest
12:31when your mind thinks correctly when you
12:33understand the truth when the thoughts
12:35deposited in your subconscious mind are
12:37constructive harmonious and peaceful the
12:41magic working power of your subconscious
12:43will respond and bring about harmonious
12:45conditions agreeable surroundings and
12:47the best of everything
12:49once you begin to control your thought
12:51processes you can apply the powers of
12:54your subconscious to any problem or
12:55difficulty
12:57you will actually be consciously
12:59cooperating with the infinite power and
13:01omnipotent law which governs all things
13:04look around you
13:06wherever you live whatever circle of
13:08society you are part of you will notice
13:11that the vast majority of people lives
13:13in the world without
13:15those who are more enlightened however
13:17are intensely involved in the world
13:19within
13:20they realize as you will too that the
13:23world within creates the world without
13:26your thoughts feelings and visualized
13:29imagery are the organizing principles of
13:31your experience
13:33the world within is the only creative
13:36power
13:37everything which you find in your world
13:39of expression has been created by you in
13:41the inner world of your mind whether
13:43consciously or unconsciously
13:45once you learn the truth about the
13:47interaction of your conscious and
13:49subconscious Minds you will be able you
13:51to transform your whole life
13:54if you want to change external
13:55conditions you must change the cause
13:59most people try to change conditions and
14:01circumstances by working on those
14:03conditions and circumstances
14:06this is a terrible waste of time and
14:08effort
14:09they fail to see that their conditions
14:11flow from a Cause
14:13to remove Discord confusion lack and
14:17limitation from your life you must
14:19remove the cause
14:21that cause is the way you use your
14:23conscious mind the thoughts and images
14:25you encourage in it
14:28change the cause and you change the
14:30effect
14:31it is just that simple
14:33we all live in an unfathomable sea of
14:36infinite riches
14:38your subconscious is very sensitive to
14:41your conscious thoughts
14:42those conscious thoughts form the Matrix
14:45through which the infinite intelligence
14:46wisdom vital forces and energies of your
14:50subconscious flow
14:52shape that Matrix in a more positive
14:54direction and you redirect those
14:56infinite energies to your greater
14:57benefit
14:59each chapter of this book gives concrete
15:01specific illustrations of how to apply
15:04the laws of mind
15:06once you learn to use these techniques
15:08you will experience abundance instead of
15:10poverty wisdom instead of superstition
15:13and ignorance peace instead of inner
15:15Strife success instead of failure Joy
15:18instead of sadness light instead of
15:20Darkness Harmony instead of Discord
15:23faith and confidence instead of fear
15:26could there be any more wonderful set of
15:28blessings than these
15:30most of the great scientists artists
15:33poets singers writers and inventors have
15:36had a deep understanding of the workings
15:38of the conscious and subconscious Minds
15:41it was this that gave them the power to
15:44accomplish their goals
15:46once Enrico Caruso the great operatic
15:49tenor was struck with stage fright
15:52spasms caused by intense fear which
15:54constricted the muscles of his throat
15:57his vocal cords felt paralyzed useless
16:01he stood backstage already in costume
16:04while perspiration poured down his face
16:07in just moments he was supposed to go
16:09out on the stage and sing before an
16:11eager audience of thousands
16:14trembling he said I can't sing
16:17they will all laugh at me
16:19my career is finished
16:22he turned to go back to his dressing
16:24room
16:25then suddenly he stopped and shouted the
16:28little me wants to strangle the big me
16:30within
16:31he turned toward the stage again and
16:33stood taller
16:35get out of here he commanded addressing
16:37the little me the big me wants to sing
16:39through me
16:41by the big me Caruso meant the Limitless
16:43power and wisdom of his subconscious
16:45mind
16:47he began to shout get out get out the
16:50big me is going to sing
16:52his subconscious mind responded by
16:54releasing the vital forces within him
16:57when the call came he walked out on
17:00stage and sang gloriously and
17:02majestically
17:03the audience was enthralled
17:06from what you have already learned you
17:08can see that Caruso understood the two
17:10levels of mind the conscious or rational
17:12and the subconscious or irrational level
17:16your subconscious mind is reactive and
17:18responds to the nature of your thoughts
17:21when your conscious mind Caruso's little
17:24me is full of fear worry and anxiety the
17:28negative emotions these create in your
17:30subconscious mind the big me are
17:32released
17:34they flood the conscious mind with a
17:36sense of panic foreboding and despair
17:39when this happens to you you can follow
17:42the example of the great Caruso
17:45you can speak affirmatively and with a
17:47deep sense of authority to the
17:49irrational emotions generated in your
17:51deeper mind
17:52you can say be still
17:55be quiet
17:57I am in control
17:59you must obey me
18:01you are subject to my command
18:04you cannot intrude where you do not
18:06belong
18:07you will be fascinated to see you can
18:09speak authoritatively and with
18:11conviction to the irrational movement of
18:13your Deeper Self
18:14your mind will be flooded with Harmony
18:16and with peace
18:18the subconscious mind is subject to the
18:21conscious mind
18:22that is why it is called subconscious or
18:25subjective
18:27the conscious mind is like the Navigator
18:29or Captain at the bridge of a ship
18:32he directs the ship
18:34he sends orders to men and women in the
18:36engine room
18:37they in turn control all the boilers
18:40instruments gauges and so on
18:43the people in the engine room do not
18:46know where they are going they follow
18:47orders
18:49they would go on the Rocks if the man on
18:51the bridge issued faulty or wrong
18:53instructions based on his findings with
18:55the compass Sextant and other
18:57instruments
18:58the people in the engine room obey him
19:01because he is in charge
19:03because he is supposed to know what he
19:05is doing the members of the crew do not
19:07talk back to the captain they simply
19:09carry out his orders
19:11the captain is the master of his ship
19:13and his decrees are carried out
19:16in the same way your conscious mind is
19:19the captain and the master of your ship
19:21your body your environment and all your
19:24affairs
19:25your subconscious mind takes the orders
19:28you give it based upon what your
19:29conscious mind believes and accepts is
19:31true
19:32it does not question the orders or the
19:35basis on which they are given
19:37if you repeatedly say to yourself I
19:40can't afford it your subconscious mind
19:42takes you at your word
19:44it sees to it that you will not be in a
19:46position to buy what you want
19:49as long as you go on saying I can't
19:51afford that car that vacation that home
19:54you can be sure that your subconscious
19:56mind will follow your orders
19:59you will go through life experiencing
20:01the lack of all these things and you
20:03will believe that
20:05circumstances made it so
20:07it will not occur to you that you have
20:09created those circumstances Yourself by
20:12your negative denying attitude
20:14last Christmas Eve a young woman named
20:17Nina W who is a university student at
20:20the University of Southern California
20:22strolled through an exclusive shopping
20:24area in Beverly Hills
20:26her mind was filled with anticipation
20:30she was about to spend the holidays with
20:32her family in Buffalo New York
20:35as Nina passed a shop window a beautiful
20:38Spanish leather shoulder bag caught her
20:40eye
20:41she looked at it germanly
20:43then she noticed the price tag and
20:46gasped
20:47she was about to say to herself I can't
20:50afford such an expensive bag
20:52then she remembered something she had
20:54heard me saying at one of my lectures
20:57never finish a negative statement
21:00reverse it immediately and wonders will
21:02happen in your life
21:04staring through the glass she said that
21:07bag is mine
21:08it is for sale
21:10I accept it mentally and my subconscious
21:13sees to it that I receive it
21:15later that day Nina met her fiance for a
21:19send-off dinner
21:20he arrived with an elegantly wrapped
21:22gift under his arm
21:24holding her breath she unwrapped it
21:27there was The Identical leather shoulder
21:29bag she had looked and identified as her
21:31own that morning
21:33she had filled her mind with the thought
21:35of expectancy
21:37then she turned the matter over to her
21:39deeper mind which has the power of
21:41accomplishment
21:42later Nina told me I didn't have the
21:45money to buy that bag yet now it is mine
21:48I have learned where to find money and
21:51all the things I need and that is in the
21:53Treasure House of Eternity Within Me
21:56a few years ago I received a letter from
21:58a woman named Ruth a who had attended my
22:01lectures
22:02She Wrote
22:04I am 75 years old a widow with a grown
22:07family
22:08I was living alone on a small pension in
22:11Social Security
22:13my life seemed Barren hopeless
22:16then I remembered your lecture about the
22:18powers of the subconscious mind
22:20you said that ideas could be conveyed to
22:23the subconscious mind by repetition
22:25faith and expectancy
22:28could it be true
22:29I decided to try
22:32I had nothing to lose
22:34I began to repeat frequently with all
22:37the feelings I could muster
22:39I am wanted
22:41I am loved
22:43I am happily married to a kind loving
22:45and spiritual minded man
22:48I am secure and fulfilled
22:51I kept on doing this many times a day
22:53for about two weeks
22:55one day at the corner drugstore I was
22:58introduced to a retired pharmacist
23:00I found him to be kind understanding and
23:04very religious
23:05he was a perfect answer to my prayer
23:08within a week he proposed to me
23:11now we are on our honeymoon in Europe
23:14I know that the intelligence within my
23:16subconscious mind brought both of us
23:18together in divine order
23:21Ruth discovered that the Treasure House
23:23was within her
23:24prayer was felt as true in her heart and
23:27her affirmations sank down by osmosis
23:30into her subconscious mind which is the
23:32creative medium
23:34the moment she succeeded in bringing
23:36about a subjective embodiment her
23:38subconscious mind brought about the
23:40answer through the law of attraction
23:42her deeper mind full of wisdom and
23:45intelligence brought her and her new
23:47husband together in divine order
23:49be sure that you think on this
23:52whatever things are true whatsoever
23:55things are honest whatsoever things are
23:57just whatsoever things are pure
23:59whatsoever things are lovely whatsoever
24:02things are of good report if there be
24:04any virtue and if there be any praise
24:07think on these things
24:09Phil 4-8
24:12chapter 2.
24:14how your mind works
24:16your mind is your most precious
24:18possession
24:20it is always with you but its most
24:22amazing power will be yours only when
24:24you have learned how to use it
24:26as we have seen there are two levels to
24:29your mind the conscious or rational
24:31level and the subconscious or irrational
24:33level
24:34you think with your conscious mind and
24:37whatever you habitually think sinks down
24:39into your subconscious mind which then
24:41creates according to the nature of your
24:43thoughts
24:44your subconscious mind is the seed of
24:46your emotions
24:48it is the creative mind
24:50if you think good good will follow if
24:53you think evil evil will follow
24:56this is the way your mind works
24:58the most important point to remember is
25:01this once the subconscious mind accepts
25:04an idea it begins to execute it
25:07it is an interesting and subtle truth
25:09that the law of the subconscious mind
25:11works for good and bad ideas alike
25:14this law when applied in a negative way
25:17is the cause of failure frustration and
25:20unhappiness
25:21when your habitual thinking is
25:23harmonious and constructive you
25:25experience perfect health success and
25:28prosperity
25:30peace of mind and a healthy body are
25:32inevitable once you begin to think and
25:34feel in the right way
25:36whatever you claim mentally and feel is
25:38true your subconscious mind will accept
25:41and bring forth into your experience
25:44all you have to do is to get your
25:46subconscious mind to accept your idea
25:49once that happens the law of your own
25:51subconscious mind will bring forth the
25:54health peace or the position you desire
25:57you give the command or decree and your
26:00subconscious will Faithfully reproduce
26:02the idea impressed upon it
26:04the law of your mind is this the
26:06reaction or response you get from your
26:08subconscious mind will be determined by
26:10the nature of the thought or idea you
26:12hold in your conscious mind
26:15psychologists and psychiatrists point
26:17out that when thoughts are conveyed to
26:19your subconscious mind impressions are
26:22made in the brain cells
26:23as soon as your subconscious accepts any
26:26idea it proceeds to put it into effect
26:29immediately
26:30working by association of ideas it uses
26:33every bit of knowledge that you have
26:35gathered in your lifetime to bring about
26:37its purpose
26:38it draws on the infinite power energy
26:41and wisdom within you
26:43It lines up all the laws of nature to
26:46get its way
26:47sometimes it seems to bring about an
26:49immediate solution to your difficulties
26:51but at other times it may take days
26:54weeks or longer
26:56its ways are past finding out
26:59you must remember that the conscious and
27:01subconscious are not two minds
27:04they are merely two spheres of activity
27:06within one mind
27:08your conscious mind is the reasoning
27:11mind
27:12it is that phase of mind which chooses
27:15for example you choose your books your
27:18home and your partner in life
27:21you make all your decisions with your
27:23conscious mind
27:24on the other hand without any conscious
27:27choice on your part your heart is kept
27:29functioning automatically and the vital
27:31functions of digestion circulation and
27:34breathing are carried on by your
27:36subconscious mind through processes
27:37independent of your conscious control
27:40your subconscious mind accepts what is
27:43impressed upon it or what you
27:44consciously believe
27:46it does not reason things out as your
27:48conscious mind does and it does not
27:51argue with you controversially
27:53your subconscious mind is like a bed of
27:55soil that accepts any kind of seed good
27:58or bad
27:59your thoughts are active they are the
28:02seeds
28:03negative destructive thoughts continue
28:06to work negatively in your subconscious
28:08mind
28:09sooner or later they will emerge and
28:12take shape as an outer experience which
28:14corresponds to their content
28:16remember your subconscious mind does not
28:19engage in proving whether your thoughts
28:21are good or bad true or false
28:24it responds according to the nature of
28:26your thoughts or suggestions
28:29for example if you consciously assume
28:31something is true even though it may be
28:33false your subconscious mind will accept
28:36it as true and proceed to bring about
28:38results which must necessarily follow
28:40because you consciously assumed it to be
28:42true
28:43psychologists and others have performed
28:46countless experiments on people who are
28:48in a hypnotic state
28:49This research shows that the
28:52subconscious mind does not make the
28:53selections and comparisons that are
28:55necessary for a reasoning process
28:58your subconscious mind will accept any
29:01suggestions however false
29:03having once accepted any suggestion it
29:06responds according to the nature of the
29:08suggestion given
29:10to illustrate how suggestible your
29:12subconscious mind is if a practiced
29:14hypnotist suggests to one of his
29:16subjects that he is Napoleon Bonaparte
29:18or even a cat or a dog the subject will
29:21act out the part with inimitable
29:23accuracy
29:24her personality becomes changed for the
29:27time being
29:28she believes herself to be whatever the
29:30operator tells her she is
29:33a skilled hypnotist may suggest to one
29:35of his students in the hypnotic state
29:37that her back itches to another that his
29:39nose is bleeding to another that she is
29:42a marble statue to another that she is
29:44freezing and the temperature is below
29:46zero
29:47each one will follow out the line of his
29:49particular suggestion totally oblivious
29:52to all those surroundings that do not
29:54pertain to the hypnotic suggestion
29:56these simple illustrations portray
29:59clearly the difference between your
30:00conscious reasoning mind and your
30:03subconscious mind which is impersonal
30:05non-selective and accepts as true
30:07whatever your conscious mind believes to
30:09be true
30:10hence the importance of selecting
30:12thoughts ideas and premises that bless
30:15heal Inspire and fill your soul with joy
30:20your conscious mind is sometimes
30:22referred to as your objective mind
30:24because it deals with outward objects
30:27the objective mind is aware of the
30:29objective world
30:31its media of observation are your five
30:33physical senses your objective mind is
30:36your guide and director in your contact
30:38with your environment you gain knowledge
30:40through your five senses
30:42your objective mind learns through
30:44observation experience and education
30:48as previously pointed out the greatest
30:50function of the objective mind is that
30:52of reasoning
30:54suppose you are one of the thousands of
30:56tourists who visit the Grand Canyon
30:58every year
31:00you would come to the conclusion that it
31:02is one of the world's most amazing
31:03natural wonders
31:05this conclusion would be based on your
31:07observation of its incredible depth the
31:10complex shaping of the rock formations
31:12the beautiful play of colors among the
31:14different geological strata
31:17this the working of your objective mind
31:20your subconscious mind is often referred
31:22to as your subjective mind
31:25your subjective mind is aware of its
31:27environment but not by means of the
31:29physical senses
31:31your subjective mind perceives by
31:33intuition
31:35it is the seed of your emotion and the
31:37storehouse of memory
31:39your subjective mind performs its
31:41highest functions when your objective
31:43senses are in not functioning
31:45in other words it is that intelligence
31:48which makes itself known when the
31:50objective mind is suspended or in a
31:52sleepy drowsy state
31:54your subjective mind sees without the
31:56use of the natural organs of vision
31:59it has the capacity of Clairvoyance and
32:02clairaudience
32:03it can see and hear events that are
32:05taking place elsewhere
32:07your subjective mind can leave your body
32:10travel to distant lands and bring back
32:12information that is often of the most
32:14exact and truthful character
32:17through your subjective mind you can
32:18read the thoughts of others read the
32:21contents of sealed envelopes or Intuit
32:23the information on a computer disk
32:25without using a disk device
32:27once we understand the interaction of
32:29the objective and subjective Minds we
32:31are in a better position to learn the
32:33true art of Prayer
32:35your subconscious mind does not have the
32:37ability to argue or dispute what it is
32:40told
32:41if you give it wrong information it will
32:43accept it as true
32:45it will then work to make that
32:47information correct
32:48it will bring your suggestions even
32:51those that were false to pass as
32:53conditions experiences and events
32:56everything that has happened to you
32:58happened because of thoughts impressed
33:00on your subconscious mind through belief
33:03if you have communicated wrong or
33:05distorted Concepts to your subconscious
33:07mind it is of the most urgent importance
33:09to correct them
33:11the sure way to do this is by repeatedly
33:14giving your subconscious mind
33:15constructive harmonious thoughts
33:18as these are frequently repeated your
33:20subconscious mind accepts them
33:23in this way you can form new healthier
33:26habits of thought and life for your
33:28subconscious mind is the seed of habit
33:31the habitual thinking of your conscious
33:33mind establishes deep grooves in your
33:36subconscious mind
33:37if your habitual thoughts are harmonious
33:40peaceful and constructive you
33:42subconscious mind will respond by
33:44creating Harmony peace and constructive
33:46conditions
33:48have you fallen prey to fear worry and
33:51other destructive forms of thinking
33:53the remedy is to recognize the power of
33:56your subconscious mind and decree
33:58Freedom happiness and perfect health
34:01your subconscious mind being creative
34:04and one with your Divine Source will
34:06proceed to create the freedom and
34:08happiness which you have earnestly
34:09decreed
34:10as you can see by what we have already
34:13discussed your conscious mind is the
34:15Watchman at the gate
34:17one of its most crucial function is to
34:19protect your subconscious mind from
34:21false impressions
34:23the reason this is so important goes
34:25back to one of the basic laws of mind
34:27your subconscious mind is very sensitive
34:30to suggestion
34:32as you know your subconscious mind does
34:35not make comparisons or contrasts
34:38it doesn't reason and think things out
34:40for itself
34:41this later function belongs to your
34:44conscious mind
34:45no you subconscious mind simply reacts
34:48to The Impressions given to it by your
34:50conscious mind
34:52it does not pick and choose among
34:54different courses of action
34:56it merely takes what is given
34:59suggestion is a tremendously powerful
35:01force
35:02imagine that you are on board ship that
35:05is rocking a bit from side to side
35:07you approach a timid looking fellow
35:10passenger and say gee you don't look so
35:12hot
35:14your face is practically green
35:16I'm afraid you're about to be seasick
35:19can I help you to your cabin
35:22the passenger turns pale
35:24the suggestion you have just made about
35:26seasickness links up with her own fears
35:28and forebodings
35:30she lets you escort her down below decks
35:33once she is there your negative
35:35suggestion which she accepted comes true
35:39it is important to realize that
35:41different people will react in different
35:43ways to the same suggestion
35:45this is because they have different
35:47subconscious conditioning or beliefs
35:50suppose instead of choosing a fellow
35:53passenger on the ship you go up to a
35:55member of the crew
35:57you say hey buddy you don't look so
35:59great
36:01do you think you're about to be seasick
36:03depending on the sailor's temperament he
36:06either laughs at your feeble joke or
36:07tells you to get lost
36:09your suggestion had no power over him
36:12because the idea of seasickness was
36:14associated in his mind with his own
36:16immunity from it
36:18therefore it called up not fear or worry
36:21but self-confidence
36:23the dictionary will tell you that a
36:25suggestion is the act or instance of
36:27putting something into one's mind
36:30it is the mental process by which the
36:32thought or idea that has been suggested
36:34is entertained accepted or put into
36:37effect
36:38remember that a suggestion cannot impose
36:41itself on the subconscious mind against
36:43the will of the conscious mind
36:45your conscious mind has the power to
36:48reject the suggestion given
36:50the Sailor had no fear of seasickness
36:53he had convinced himself of his immunity
36:55so the negative suggestion had no power
36:58to evoke fear
37:00but you fellow passenger was already
37:02worried about becoming sick
37:04Therefore your suggestion had power over
37:07her
37:08all of us have our own inner fears
37:10beliefs opinions
37:13these inner assumptions Rule and govern
37:15Our Lives
37:17a suggestion has no power in and of
37:20itself
37:21its power arises from the fact that you
37:23accept it mentally
37:25only at that point do you subconscious
37:27Powers begin to act according to the
37:29nature of the suggestion
37:31for many years I gave a regular series
37:34of lectures at the London truth Forum in
37:36caxton Hall which I founded a number of
37:38years ago
37:40Dr Evelyn Fleet the director told me
37:43about a man whose young daughter
37:44suffered from both crippling rheumatoid
37:46arthritis and the disfiguring in painful
37:49skin condition called psoriasis
37:52they tried many treatments but nothing
37:54the doctors did seem to help
37:56the man was near despair
37:59over and over he said to himself and to
38:01his friends would give my right arm to
38:04see my daughter cured
38:06according to Dr Fleet One Day the family
38:08was out for a drive
38:10their Carr was involved in a head-on
38:12collision
38:14the father's right arm was torn off at
38:16the shoulder
38:18when he came home from the hospital he
38:20discovered that his daughter's arthritis
38:22and skin condition had vanished
38:25you must be very careful to give your
38:27subconscious only those suggestions
38:29which heal bless Elevate and inspire you
38:32in all your ways
38:34remember that your subconscious mind
38:36doesn't understand a joke
38:38it takes you at your word
38:41the term Auto suggestion means
38:43suggesting something definite and
38:44specific to oneself
38:46like any tool wrongly used it can cause
38:49harm but used properly it can be
38:51extremely helpful
38:53Janet R was a talented young singer
38:57she was invited to try out for an
38:59important role in an opera production
39:02she desperately wanted to audition but
39:04she was also terribly apprehensive
39:07three times before when she has sung for
39:10directors she had failed miserably
39:13the reason was fear of failure
39:15she had a wonderful voice but she has
39:18been saying to herself when the time
39:20comes for me to sing I'll sound awful
39:23I'll never get the role
39:25they won't like me
39:27they'll wonder how I have the nerve even
39:30to try it out
39:31I'll go but I know it'll be a failure
39:34her subconscious mind accepted these
39:37negative Auto suggestions as a request
39:40it proceeded to manifest them and bring
39:42them into her experience
39:45the cause was an involuntary Auto
39:47suggestion
39:48her fears had become emotionalized and
39:51subjectified thoughts that in turn
39:53became her reality
39:55this young singer was able to overcome
39:57the force of her negative suggestions
40:00she accomplished this by countering them
40:02with positive Auto suggestion
40:05what she did was this
40:07three times a day she went alone into a
40:10quiet room
40:11she sat down comfortably in an armchair
40:14relaxed her body and closed her eyes
40:18she stilled her mind and body as best
40:20she could
40:21physical inertia favors mental passivity
40:24and renders the mind more receptive to
40:26suggestion
40:28to counteract the fear suggestion she
40:30repeated to herself I sing beautifully
40:33I am poised Serene confident and calm
40:38at each sitting she repeated this
40:40statement slowly quietly and with
40:42feeling from five to ten times
40:45she had three such sittings during the
40:47day and one immediately before going to
40:49sleep
40:50after one week she was completely poised
40:53and confident
40:55when the fateful day came she gave a
40:57wonderful addition and was cast in a
40:59part
41:00a woman of 75 had been always been proud
41:03of her ability to remember
41:05like everyone she forgot things now and
41:08then but she paid no attention
41:11however as she got older she began to
41:14notice these occasions and worry about
41:16them
41:17each time she forgot something she said
41:19to herself I must be losing my memory
41:22because of my age
41:24as a result of this negative Auto
41:26suggestion more and more names and
41:28events slipped her mind
41:30she was close to despair
41:32then fortunately she realized how she
41:36was damaging herself
41:38she resolved to reverse the process
41:41every time she felt the temptation to
41:43think I am losing my memory she stopped
41:46herself
41:47more than that she deliberately reversed
41:50the procedure
41:51she said to herself
41:53from today onward my memory from today
41:56on is improving in every way
41:59I will always remember whatever I need
42:01to know at every moment of time and
42:03point of space
42:05The Impressions I receive will be clear
42:07and definite
42:08I will retain them automatically and
42:11easily
42:12whatever I want to recall will
42:14immediately present itself in the
42:15correct form in my mind
42:17I am improving rapidly every day
42:21very soon my memory will be better than
42:23it has ever been before
42:25at the end of three weeks her memory was
42:27back to normal and she was delighted
42:30I was consulted by a man whose marriage
42:33and career were both in serious trouble
42:37UDS problem was his constant
42:38irritability and bad temper
42:41he was concerned about this himself but
42:44if anyone tried to discuss it with him
42:45he exploded in anger
42:48he constantly told himself that everyone
42:50was picking on him and that he had to
42:52defend himself against them
42:54to counter this negative Auto suggestion
42:56I advised him to use positive Auto
42:58suggestion
43:00several times a day morning noon and at
43:03night prior to sleep he was to repeat to
43:06himself
43:07from now on I shall grow more good
43:10humored
43:11joy happiness and cheerfulness are now
43:14becoming my normal states of mind
43:16every day I am becoming more and more
43:19lovable and understanding
43:21I am now becoming the center of cheer
43:24and Goodwill to all those around me
43:25infecting them with my good spirits
43:29this happy joyous and cheerful mood is
43:32now becoming my normal Natural State of
43:34Mind
43:36I am grateful
43:37after a month his wife and his
43:40co-workers remarked on how much easier
43:42he was to get along with
43:44the term heterose suggestion means
43:46suggestions from one person to another
43:48person
43:49in all ages the power of suggestion has
43:52played a dominant part in the life and
43:54thought of humankind
43:56political Creeds religions beliefs and
43:59cultural Customs all flourish and
44:01perpetuate themselves through the power
44:03of heterosehestion
44:05suggestion can be used as a tool to
44:08discipline and control ourselves
44:10however it can also be used to take
44:13control and command over others who have
44:15not been taught to understand the laws
44:17of mind
44:18in its constructive form it is wonderful
44:21and magnificent
44:22in its negative aspects it is one of the
44:25most destructive of all the response
44:27patterns of the Mind
44:28its results can be enduring patterns of
44:31misery failure suffering sickness and
44:34disaster
44:36from the day we are born we are

45:39them to pass
45:41as a child you were helpless when faced
45:44with the suggestions of others who were
45:45important to you
45:47you did not know any better
45:50the Mind both conscious and unconscious
45:52was a mystery you did not even wonder
45:54about
45:56as an adult however you are able to make
45:59choices

46:02which is a reconditioning therapy to
46:05change the Impressions made on you in
46:07the past

46:53not have to accept them choices open up
46:56for you
46:57you have within you the power to
46:59counteract all these destructive ideas
47:01by giving your subconscious mind
47:02constructive Auto suggestions
47:05check regularly on the negative
47:07suggestions that people make to you
47:10you do not have to be at the mercy of
47:12destructive hetero suggestion
47:14all of us have suffered from it in our
47:16childhood in our teens and in adulthood
47:20if you look back you can easily recall
47:22how parents friends relatives teachers
47:26and Associates contributed in a campaign
47:28of negative suggestions
47:31study the things said to you closely
47:33examine their underlying meaning and you
47:35will discover that many of them were
47:37nothing more than a form of propaganda
47:40its concealed purpose was and is to
47:43control you by instilling fear in you
47:46this hetero suggestion process goes on
47:49in every home office Factory and Club
47:53you will find that many of the
47:54suggestions people make whether they
47:56know it or not are aimed at making you
47:58think feel and act as they want you to
48:01in ways that are to their advantage even
48:03if they are destructive to you
48:06a distant relative of mine went to a
48:08Crystal Geyser in India and asked the
48:10woman to read his future
48:12The Seer told him that he had a bad
48:15heart
48:16she predicted that he would die at the
48:18next new moon
48:19my relative was aghast
48:22he called up everyone in his family and
48:24told them about the prediction
48:26he met with his lawyer to make sure his
48:29will was up to date
48:30when I tried to talk him out of his
48:32conviction he told me that the crystal
48:34gazer was known to have amazing occult
48:37powers
48:38she could do great good or harm those SE
48:40dealt with
48:42he was convinced for the truth of this
48:45as the new moon approached he became
48:47more and more withdrawn
48:49a month before this man had been happy
48:52healthy vigorous and robust
48:55now he was an invalid
48:58on the predicted date he suffered a
49:00fatal heart attack
49:02he died not knowing that he was the
49:04cause of his own death
49:06how many of us have heard similar
49:08stories and shivered a little as the
49:10thought that the world is full of
49:11mysterious uncontrollable forces
49:14yes the world is full of forces but they
49:17are neither mysterious nor
49:19uncontrollable
49:20my relative killed himself by allowing a
49:23powerful suggestion to enter into his
49:25subconscious mind
49:27he believed in a crystal gazer's Powers
49:30so he accepted her prediction completely
49:33let us take another look at what
49:34happened knowing what we do about the
49:36way the subconscious mind works
49:39whatever the conscious reasoning Mind of
49:41a person believes the subconscious mind
49:44will accept and act upon
49:46my relative was in a suggestible state
49:49when he went to see the fortune teller
49:51she gave him a negative suggestion and
49:54he accepted it
49:55he became terrified
49:57he constantly ruminated on his
49:59conviction that he was going to die at
50:01the next new moon
50:03he told everyone about it and he
50:05prepared for his end
50:07it was his own fear and expectation of
50:10the end accepted as true by his
50:12subconscious mind that brought about his
50:14death
50:15the woman who predicted his death had no
50:18more power than the stones and sticks in
50:20the field
50:21her suggestion in itself had no power to
50:24create or bring about the end she
50:26suggested
50:27if he had known the laws of his mind he
50:30would have completely rejected the
50:31negative suggestion and refused to give
50:33her words any attention
50:35he could have gone about his business of
50:37living with the secure knowledge that he
50:39was governed and controlled by his own
50:41thoughts and feelings
50:43the prophecy of the Seer would have been
50:45like a rubber ball thrown at an armored
50:47tank
50:48he could have easily neutralized and
50:51dissipated her suggestion with no harm
50:53to himself
50:54instead through lack of awareness and
50:57knowledge he allowed it to kill him
50:59in themselves the suggestions of others
51:02have no power over you
51:04whatever power they have they gain
51:07because you give it to them through your
51:09own thoughts
51:10you have to give your mental consent
51:13you have to entertain and accept the
51:15thought
51:16at that point it becomes your own
51:18thought and your subconscious Works to
51:20bring it into experience
51:22remember you have the capacity to chose
51:26choose life
51:28Choose Love
51:30choose health
51:31since the days of ancient Greece
51:34philosophers and logicians have studied
51:36the form of reasoning called a syllogism
51:39your mind reasons in syllogisms
51:42in Practical terms this means that
51:45whatever major promises your conscious
51:47mind assumes to be true that determines
51:49the conclusion your subconscious mind
51:51will come to no matter what the
51:53particular question or problem might be
51:56if your premises are true the conclusion
51:59must be true
52:00for example
52:02every virtue is laudable
52:05kindness is a virtue
52:07therefore kindness is laudable
52:10or this
52:12All Foreign things change and pass away
52:16the pyramids of Egypt are formed things
52:19therefore someday the pyramids will pass
52:22away
52:23the first statement is referred to as
52:25the major premise and the right
52:27conclusion must necessarily follow the
52:30right premise
52:31a college professor who attended some of
52:34my science of Mind lectures in New York
52:36City's Town Hall come to me afterward
52:39he told me everything in my life is
52:42topsy-turvy
52:43I have lost health wealth and Friends
52:47everything I touch turns out wrong
52:50I explained to him that his problems
52:52followed logically and directly from his
52:54self-destructive major premise
52:57to change his life he had to establish a
53:00new major premise in his thinking
53:02he needed to accept as true the
53:05conviction that the infinite
53:06intelligence of his subconscious mind
53:08was guiding directing and prospering him
53:11spiritually mentally and materially
53:14once he did that his subconscious mind
53:17would automatically direct him wisely in
53:19his decisions heal his body and restore
53:22his mind to peace and tranquility
53:24this professor formulated an overall
53:27picture of the way he wanted his life to
53:28be
53:29this was his major premise
53:32infinite intelligence leads and guides
53:35me in all my ways
53:36perfect health is mine and the law of
53:39Harmony operates in my mind and body
53:42Beauty love peace and abundance are mine
53:47the principle of right action in divine
53:49order govern my entire life
53:52I know my major premise is based on the
53:54Eternal truths of life and I know feel
53:57and believe that my subconscious mind
53:59responds according to the nature of my
54:01conscious mind thinking
54:03later he wrote me the following progress
54:06report I repeated the above statements
54:08of my major premise slowly quietly and
54:11lovingly several times a day
54:13I knew that they were sinking deep down
54:15into my subconscious mind
54:18I was convinced by the laws of mind that
54:20results must follow
54:22I am deeply grateful for the interview

55:28your subconscious mind cannot solve your

59:59some years ago I was invited to lecture
1:00:01at the yoga Forest University in
1:00:04rishikesh India
1:00:06while I was there I had a long
1:00:08conversation with a surgeon who was
1:00:09visiting from Bombay
1:00:11from him I learned the astonishing story
1:00:14of Dr James estdale
1:00:16is Dale was a Scottish surgeon who
1:00:19practiced in Bengal during the 1840s
1:00:22this was before ether or other modern
1:00:25methods of chemical anesthesia began to
1:00:27be used
1:00:28nevertheless between 1843 and 1846 Dr is
1:00:34Dale performed some 400 major surgical
1:00:36operations of all kinds
1:00:39these included amputations removal of
1:00:42tumors and cancerous growths and
1:00:44operations on the eye ear and throat
1:00:48all these operations were performed
1:00:50under mental anesthesia only
1:00:52patients said they felt no pain and none
1:00:55of them died during surgery
1:00:58just as amazing the mortality rate of
1:01:01Estelle's patients following surgery was
1:01:03extremely low
1:01:05this was well before Western scientists
1:01:07such as Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister
1:01:10pointed out the bacterial origin of
1:01:12infection
1:01:13no one realized that post-operative
1:01:15infections were due to unsterilized
1:01:17instruments and virulent organisms
1:01:20nevertheless when estale suggested to
1:01:23his patients who were in a hypnotic
1:01:25state that no infection or septic
1:01:27condition would develop their
1:01:29subconscious Minds responded to his
1:01:31suggestion
1:01:33they said in motion the process is
1:01:35needed to fight off the life-threatening
1:01:37dangers of infection
1:01:39think of it over a century and a half
1:01:41ago this Scottish surgeon who had gone
1:01:43Halfway Around the World discovered how
1:01:45to use the miraculous wonderworking
1:01:47powers of the subconscious mind
1:01:50it is enough to cause you to be seized
1:01:52with all
1:01:53the transcendental powers that inspired
1:01:56Dr Estelle and that protected his
1:01:58patients from Mortal danger can be your
1:02:00too
1:02:01your subconscious mind can give you
1:02:03independence of time and space
1:02:06it can make you free of all pain and
1:02:08suffering
1:02:09it can give you the answer to all
1:02:11problems whatever they may be
1:02:14there is a power and an intelligence
1:02:16within you that far transcends your
1:02:18intellect causing you to Marvel at The
1:02:20Wonder of it all
1:02:22these experiences cause you to rejoice
1:02:24and believe in the miracle working
1:02:26powers of your own subconscious mind
1:02:29whatever thoughts beliefs opinions
1:02:32theories or dogmas you write engrave or
1:02:36impress on your subconscious mind you
1:02:38will experience them as the objective
1:02:40manifestation of circumstances
1:02:42conditions and events
1:02:45what you write on the inside you will
1:02:47experience on the outside
1:02:49you have two sides to your life
1:02:51objective and subjective visible and
1:02:54invisible thought and its manifestation
1:02:57your thought is received as a pattern of
1:03:00neural firings in your cerebral cortex
1:03:02which is the organ of your conscious
1:03:04reasoning mind
1:03:06once you're conscious or objective mind
1:03:08accepts the thought completely it is
1:03:10transmitted to the older parts of the
1:03:12brain where it becomes flesh and is made
1:03:15manifest in your experience
1:03:17as previously outlined your subconscious
1:03:20cannot argue
1:03:22it acts only from what you write on it
1:03:25it accepts your verdict or the
1:03:26conclusions of your conscious mind as
1:03:28final
1:03:30this is why you are always writing on
1:03:32the book of life because your thoughts
1:03:34become your experiences
1:03:36the American essayist Ralph Waldo
1:03:39Emerson said man is what he thinks all
1:03:41day long
1:03:42William James the father of American
1:03:45psychology said that the power to move
1:03:47the world is in your subconscious mind
1:03:50your subconscious mind is one with
1:03:53infinite intelligence and boundless
1:03:55wisdom
1:03:56it is fed by Hidden Springs and is
1:03:58called the law of life
1:04:00whatever you impress upon your
1:04:02subconscious mind the latter will move
1:04:04Heaven and Earth to bring it to pass
1:04:07you must therefore impress it with right
1:04:10ideas and constructive thoughts
1:04:12the reason there is so much chaos and
1:04:15misery in the world is because people do
1:04:17not understand the interaction of their
1:04:19conscious and subconscious Minds
1:04:22when these two principles are in accord
1:04:24in Concord in peace and synchronously
1:04:27together you will have Heath happiness
1:04:30peace and joy
1:04:32there is no sickness or Discord when a
1:04:34conscious and subconscious work together
1:04:36harmoniously and peacefully
1:04:39in the ancient world Hermes trismogistis
1:04:42had the reputation of being the greatest
1:04:44most powerful Magus the world had ever
1:04:46known
1:04:48when his tomb was opened centuries after
1:04:50his passing those who were in touch with
1:04:52the wisdom of the Ancients waited with
1:04:54great expectancy and a sense of wonder
1:04:57it was said that the greatest secret of
1:04:59the ages would be found within the tomb
1:05:02and so it as
1:05:04the secret was
1:05:06as within so without As Above So Below
1:05:11in other words whatever you impress in
1:05:13your subconscious mind that become
1:05:15expressed on the screen of space
1:05:18this same truth was proclaimed by Moses
1:05:21Isaiah Jesus Buddha zoroaster Lotsa and
1:05:26all the illumanciers of the ages
1:05:27whatever you feel is true subjectively
1:05:30is expressed as conditions experiences
1:05:32and events
1:05:34motion and emotion must balance
1:05:37as in heaven your own mind so on Earth
1:05:40in your body and environment
1:05:43this is the Great Law of life
1:05:45you will find throughout all nature the
1:05:48law of action and reaction of rest and
1:05:50motion
1:05:51these two must balance then there will
1:05:54be Harmony in equilibrium
1:05:56you are here to let the life principle
1:05:58flow through you rhythmically and
1:06:00harmoniously
1:06:01the intake and the outcome must be equal
1:06:05the impression and the expression must
1:06:07be equal
1:06:08all your frustration is due to
1:06:10unfulfilled desire
1:06:12if you think negatively destructively
1:06:14and viciously these thoughts generate
1:06:17destructive emotions which must be
1:06:19expressed and find an outlet
1:06:21these emotions being of a negative
1:06:24nature are frequently expressed as
1:06:26ulcers heart trouble tension and
1:06:29anxieties
1:06:30what is your idea or feeling about
1:06:32yourself now
1:06:34every part of your being expresses that
1:06:36idea
1:06:37Your vitality body Financial condition
1:06:40friends and social status represent a
1:06:43perfect reflection of the idea you have
1:06:45of yourself
1:06:47this is the real meaning of what is
1:06:49impressed in your subconscious mind and
1:06:51what is expressed in All Phases of your
1:06:53life
1:06:54we injure ourselves by the negative
1:06:56ideas which we entertain
1:06:58how often have you wounded Yourself by
1:07:01getting angry fearful jealous or
1:07:04vengeful
1:07:05these are the poisons that enter your
1:07:07subconscious mind
1:07:09you were not born with these negative
1:07:11attitudes
1:07:12feed your subconscious mind life-giving
1:07:14thoughts and you will wipe out all the
1:07:17negative patterns lodged within it
1:07:19as you continue to do this all the past
1:07:22will be wiped out and remembered no more
1:07:25the most convincing evidence anyone can
1:07:27have of the healing power of the
1:07:29subconscious mind is a personal healing
1:07:32over 40 years ago I developed to resolve
1:07:35the malignancy of the skin
1:07:37I went to the finest doctors who tried
1:07:39the most advanced treatments Medical
1:07:41Science could offer
1:07:43none of these helped
1:07:45the malignancy got progressively worse
1:07:49then one day a clergyman with a deep
1:07:52store of psychological knowledge told me
1:07:54the inner meaning of the 139th psalm
1:07:58he called my attention to the passage
1:08:00that reads
1:08:01in my book all my members were written
1:08:04which in continuance were fashioned when
1:08:06as yet there was none of them
1:08:08he explained that the term Book meant my
1:08:11subconscious mind which fashioned molded
1:08:13all my organs from a tiny original cell
1:08:16he also pointed out that since my
1:08:19subconscious mind had made my body it
1:08:21could also recreate it and heal it
1:08:23according to the perfect pattern within
1:08:25it
1:08:26this clergyman pointed to his watch
1:08:29this had a maker he told me
1:08:32but before the watch could become an
1:08:34objective reality the watchmaker had to
1:08:36have the idea of it clearly in mind
1:08:39if for some reason the watch stopped
1:08:41working as it should the watchmaker's
1:08:43idea of it would give him to knowledge
1:08:45he needed to fix it
1:08:47I understood what he was trying to tell
1:08:49me by this analogy
1:08:51the subconscious intelligence that
1:08:53created my body was like the watchmaker
1:08:56it knew exactly how to heal restore and
1:08:59direct all the vital functions and
1:09:01processes of my body
1:09:03but for it to do this properly I had to
1:09:06give it the perfect idea of Health
1:09:08this would act as cause and the effect
1:09:11would be a healing
1:09:12I formulated a very simple and direct
1:09:15prayer
1:09:16my body and all its organs were created
1:09:19by the infinite intelligence in my
1:09:21subconscious mind
1:09:23it knows how to heal me
1:09:25it's wisdom fashioned all my organs
1:09:27tissues muscles and bones
1:09:31this infinite healing presence Within Me
1:09:33is now transforming every cell of my
1:09:35being making me whole and perfect
1:09:38I give thanks for the healing I know is
1:09:41taking place at this time
1:09:43wonderful are the works of the creative
1:09:45intelligence Within Me
1:09:47I repeated this simple prayer aloud for
1:09:49about five minutes two or three times a
1:09:52day
1:09:53after some three months my skin was
1:09:55whole and perfect the malignancy had
1:09:57vanished
1:09:59my doctor was baffled but I knew what
1:10:01had happened
1:10:03I had given life-giving patterns of
1:10:05wholeness Beauty and Perfection to my
1:10:07subconscious mind
1:10:09these forced out the negative images and
1:10:12patterns of thought lodged in my
1:10:13subconscious mind which were the cause
1:10:15of all my trouble
1:10:17nothing appears on your body except when
1:10:19the mental equivalent is first in your
1:10:22mind
1:10:23as you change your mind by drenching it
1:10:25with incessant affirmatives you change
1:10:27your body
1:10:28this is the basis of all healing
1:10:31marvelous are thy works and that my soul
1:10:34subconscious mind knoweth right well
1:10:38Psalm 139 14.
1:10:41whether you are awake or asleep the
1:10:43ceaseless tireless action of your
1:10:46subconscious mind controls all the vital
1:10:48functions of your body without any need
1:10:50for you conscious mind to intervene
1:10:53while you are asleep your heart
1:10:55continues to beat rhythmically
1:10:57your chest and diaphragm muscles Pump
1:11:00Air in and out of your lungs
1:11:02they're the carbon dioxide that is the
1:11:04byproduct of the activity of your body's
1:11:06cells is exchanged for the fresh oxygen
1:11:09you need to go on functioning
1:11:11your subconscious controls your
1:11:13digestive processes and glandular
1:11:15secretions as well as all the other
1:11:17wondrously complex operations of your
1:11:19body
1:11:20all this happens whether you are awake
1:11:23or asleep
1:11:24if you were forced to operate your
1:11:26body's functions with your conscious
1:11:28mind you would certainly fail
1:11:30you would probably die a very quick
1:11:33death
1:11:34the processes are too complicated too
1:11:37intertwined
1:11:38the heart lung machine that is used
1:11:41during open heart surgery is one of the
1:11:43wonders of modern Medical Technology but
1:11:45what it does is infinitely simpler that
1:11:47what your subconscious mind does 24
1:11:49hours a day year in year out
1:11:53suppose you were crossing the ocean in a
1:11:55supersonic jetliner and you wandered
1:11:57into the cockpit
1:11:59you certainly would not know how to fly
1:12:01the plane but you would not find it
1:12:03difficult to distract a pilot and cause
1:12:05a problem
1:12:06in the same way your conscious mind
1:12:09cannot operate your body but it can get
1:12:11in the way of proper operation
1:12:14worry anxiety fear and depression
1:12:17interfere with the normal functioning of
1:12:19the heart lungs stomach and intestines
1:12:23the medical community is just beginning
1:12:25to appreciate how serious so-called
1:12:27stress-related diseases are
1:12:30the reason is that these patterns of
1:12:32thought interfere with the harmonious
1:12:34functioning of your subconscious mind
1:12:37when you feel physically and mentally
1:12:39Disturbed the best thing you can do is
1:12:41to let go relax and still the wheels of
1:12:44your thought processes
1:12:46speak to your subconscious mind
1:12:49tell it to take over in peace Harmony
1:12:52and divine order
1:12:54you will find that all the functions of
1:12:56your body will become normal again
1:12:58be sure to speak to your subconscious
1:13:01mind with authority and conviction
1:13:03it will respond by carrying out your
1:13:06command
1:13:07the first thing to realize is that your
1:13:09subconscious mind is always working
1:13:12it is active night and day whether you
1:13:15act upon it or not your subconscious is
1:13:17the Builder of your body but you cannot
1:13:19consciously perceive or hear that inner
1:13:21silent process
1:13:23your business is with your conscious
1:13:25mind and not your subconscious mind
1:13:28just keep your conscious mind busy with
1:13:30the expectation of the best and make
1:13:32sure the thoughts you habitually think
1:13:34are based on things that are lovely true
1:13:36just and harmonious
1:13:39begin now to take care of your conscious
1:13:41mind knowing in your heart and soul that
1:13:44your subconscious mind is always
1:13:45expressing reproducing and manifesting
1:13:48according to your habitual thinking
1:13:51remember just as water takes the shape
1:13:53of the pipe it flows through the life
1:13:56principle in you flows through you
1:13:57according to the nature of your thoughts
1:14:00claim that the healing presence in your
1:14:02subconscious is flowing through you as
1:14:04Harmony Health peace joy and abundance
1:14:08think of it as a living intelligence a
1:14:11lovely companion on the way
1:14:13firmly believe it is continually flowing
1:14:16through you vivifying inspiring and
1:14:18prospering you
1:14:20it will respond exactly this way
1:14:23it is done unto you as you believe
1:14:26one of the most celebrated healing
1:14:28shrines in the world is at Lord in
1:14:30Southwestern France
1:14:32The Archives of the medical Department
1:14:34of Lord are filled with dossiers that
1:14:36detail well-authenticated cases of what
1:14:39are termed miraculous healings
1:14:41one example among many is the case of
1:14:44Madame Beyer who was blind with optic
1:14:46nerves that were atrophied and useless
1:14:49after she visited Lord she regained her
1:14:52sight
1:14:53several doctors who examined her
1:14:55testified that her optic nerves were
1:14:57still useless and yet she saw
1:15:00a month later a re-examination found
1:15:03that her visual mechanism had been fully
1:15:05restored to normal
1:15:07I am thoroughly convinced that Madame
1:15:09Beyer was not healed By the Waters of
1:15:11the shrine
1:15:13what healed her was her own subconscious
1:15:15mind which responded to her belief
1:15:18the healing principle within her
1:15:20subconscious mind responded to the
1:15:22nature of her thought
1:15:24belief is a thought in the subconscious
1:15:26mind
1:15:27it means to accept something is true
1:15:30the thought accepted executes itself
1:15:32automatically
1:15:34undoubtedly Madame Beyer went to the
1:15:37shrine with expectancy and great faith
1:15:40she knew in her heart she would receive
1:15:42a healing
1:15:43her subconscious mind responded
1:15:45accordingly releasing the ever-present
1:15:48healing forces
1:15:49the subconscious mind which created the
1:15:52eye can certainly bring a dead nerve
1:15:54back to life
1:15:55what the creative principle created it
1:15:58can recreate
1:16:00according to your belief is it done unto
1:16:02you
1:16:03a Methodist Minister I met in
1:16:05Johannesburg South Africa told me how he
1:16:08overcame an advanced case of lung cancer
1:16:11the method he used was to convey the
1:16:13idea of perfect health to his
1:16:15subconscious mind
1:16:17at my request he sent me a detailed
1:16:20description of the process which I now
1:16:22pass along to you
1:16:24several times a day I would make certain
1:16:26that I was completely relaxed mentally
1:16:28and physically
1:16:30I relaxed my body by speaking to it as
1:16:33follows
1:16:34my feet are relaxed my ankles are
1:16:36relaxed my legs are relaxed my abdominal
1:16:39muscles are relaxed my heart and lungs
1:16:42are relaxed my head is relaxed my whole
1:16:45being is completely relaxed
1:16:48after about five minutes I would find
1:16:50myself drifting into a sleepy drowsy
1:16:52state
1:16:54then I affirmed the following truth
1:16:57the Perfection of God is now being
1:16:59expressed through me
1:17:00the idea of perfect health is now
1:17:03filling my subconscious mind
1:17:05the image God has of me is a perfect
1:17:08image and my subconscious mind recreates
1:17:10my body in perfect accordance with the
1:17:12Perfect Image held in the mind of God
1:17:15this Minister had a remarkable healing
1:17:18the technique he used is a simple
1:17:20straightforward way of conveying the
1:17:23idea of perfect health to your
1:17:24subconscious mind
1:17:26another wonderful way to convey the idea
1:17:29of Health to your subconscious is
1:17:31through disciplined or scientific
1:17:32imagination
1:17:34I told a man who was suffering from
1:17:36functional paralysis to make a vivid
1:17:38picture of himself walking around in his
1:17:40office touching the desk
1:17:43answering the telephone and doing all
1:17:45the things he ordinarily would do if he
1:17:47were healed
1:17:49I explained to him that this mental
1:17:51visualization of perfect health would be
1:17:53accepted by his subconscious mind
1:17:56he threw himself into the role
1:17:58he actually felt himself back in the
1:18:00office
1:18:02he knew that he was giving his
1:18:03subconscious mind something concrete and
1:18:06definite to work upon
1:18:08his subconscious mind was the film upon
1:18:10which the visualization was impressed
1:18:13he continued this visualization
1:18:15discipline intensively for several weeks
1:18:19then one day the telephone rang at a
1:18:22time when everyone else was out
1:18:24the telephone was about 12 feet away
1:18:26from his bed
1:18:28nevertheless he managed to answer it
1:18:31his paralysis vanished from that hour on
1:18:35the healing power of His subconscious
1:18:37mind had responded to his mental imagery
1:18:39and a healing followed
1:18:41this man had suffered from a mental
1:18:44block that prevented nerve impulses
1:18:46generated in the brain from reaching his
1:18:48legs
1:18:49therefore he could not walk
1:18:52when he shifted his attention to the
1:18:54healing power within him the power
1:18:56flowed through his focused attention and
1:18:58he walked again
1:19:00whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer
1:19:02believe him ye shall receive
1:19:05Matt 21 2.
1:19:09chapter 4.
1:19:11mental healings in ancient times
1:19:14Through the Ages people in every
1:19:16continent climate and culture have
1:19:18instinctively known that somewhere there
1:19:20resided a healing power which could
1:19:22restore the abilities and functions of a
1:19:24person's body to its normal state of
1:19:26efficiency and good health
1:19:28they believed that this strange power
1:19:30could be invoked under certain
1:19:32conditions and that if it were invoked
1:19:34properly the alleviation of human
1:19:36suffering would follow
1:19:38the history of all Nations presents
1:19:41testimony in support of this belief
1:19:43in the early history of the world the
1:19:46power of secretly influencing men for
1:19:48good or evil including the healing of
1:19:51the sick was said to be possessed by the
1:19:53priests priestesses and holy people
1:19:56they claimed to possess Powers derived
1:19:59directly by them from God that included
1:20:01the healing of the sick
1:20:03the procedures and processes of healing
1:20:05varied throughout the world but they
1:20:07generally included supplications and
1:20:09offerings to the god various ceremonies
1:20:11such as the laying on of hands and
1:20:13incantations and the use of amulets
1:20:16talismans Rings relics and images
1:20:20for example in the religions of
1:20:22antiquity priests ancient temples gave
1:20:24drugs to the patient and practiced
1:20:26hypnotic suggestions as they went to
1:20:28sleep
1:20:29the patients were told that the gods
1:20:32would surely visit them in their sleep
1:20:33and heal them
1:20:35many healings followed
1:20:37the devotees of hecatey were told to mix
1:20:39lizards with resin frankincense and
1:20:42myrrh and pound all this together in the
1:20:45open air under the Crescent Moon
1:20:47after performing these bizarre and
1:20:49mysterious rights they prayed to the
1:20:51goddess took the potion they has just
1:20:53compounded and went to sleep
1:20:56if their faith was strong enough they
1:20:58saw the goddess in a dream
1:21:00this right which sounds so strange even
1:21:03fantastic to our ears was often followed
1:21:07by healings
1:21:08people in ancient times worked out many
1:21:11effective ways to tap the incredible
1:21:13power of the subconscious mind and use
1:21:15it for healing
1:21:16while they knew that these procedure
1:21:18worked however did not understand how or
1:21:21why they worked
1:21:23today we can see that they were using
1:21:25potent suggestions to the subconscious
1:21:27mind
1:21:28the rituals and potions and amulets
1:21:31appealed powerfully to the imagination
1:21:33of people and favored the acceptance by
1:21:35the subconscious mind of the insistent
1:21:37suggestions given by the Healer
1:21:40but the work of healing was done by the
1:21:42patient's own subconscious mind
1:21:45in all ages unofficial healers have
1:21:47obtained remarkable results in cases
1:21:49where authorized medical skill had
1:21:51failed and the patients had given up
1:21:53hope
1:21:54this gives cause for thought
1:21:57how do these healers in all parts of the
1:21:59world affect their cures
1:22:01the answer is that these healings take
1:22:03place because of the blind belief of the
1:22:05sick person released the healing power
1:22:07resident in his or her subconscious mind
1:22:11the more fantastic and peculiar the
1:22:13remedies and methods used by the healers
1:22:15the more likely the patients were to
1:22:17believe that anything so strange must be
1:22:19unusually powerful
1:22:21there aroused emotional state made it
1:22:24easier for them to accept the suggestion
1:22:26of Health in both their conscious and
1:22:28subconscious mind
1:22:30this point will be discussed at greater
1:22:32length in the next chapter
1:22:34what things whoever ye desire When you
1:22:37pray believe that you receive them and
1:22:39ye shall have them
1:22:40Mark 11 24.
1:22:43reread this passage and pay close
1:22:45attention to the difference in tenses
1:22:48the verbs believe and receive and in the
1:22:50present but the verb shall have is in
1:22:52the future
1:22:54The Inspired writer is telling us
1:22:55something of the greatest importance by
1:22:57this seemingly minor difference in the
1:22:59grammar of the sentence
1:23:01if we believe and accept is true the
1:23:03fact that our desire has already been
1:23:05accomplished and fulfilled that it is
1:23:07already completed then its realization
1:23:10will follow as a thing in the future
1:23:12the success of this technique relies on
1:23:15The Confident conviction that the
1:23:16thought the idea the picture is already
1:23:19a fact in mind
1:23:21in order for anything to have substance
1:23:23in the realm of mind it must be thought
1:23:25of as actually existing
1:23:27here in a few cryptic words is a concise
1:23:30and specific direction for making use of
1:23:32the creative power of thought by
1:23:34impressing upon the subconscious the
1:23:35particular thing you desire
1:23:38your thought idea plan or purpose is as
1:23:41real on its own plane as your hand or
1:23:44your heart
1:23:45in following the biblical technique you
1:23:48completely eliminate from your mind all
1:23:50consideration of conditions
1:23:51circumstances or anything that might
1:23:54imply a negative outcome
1:23:56you are planting a seed Concept in the
1:23:59mind that if you leave it undisturbed
1:24:01will infallibly germinate into external
1:24:04fruition
1:24:05the prime condition that Jesus insisted
1:24:08upon was faith
1:24:09over and over again you read in a Bible
1:24:12according to your faith is it done unto
1:24:14you
1:24:15if you plant certain types of seeds in
1:24:18the ground you have faith they will grow
1:24:19after their kind
1:24:21this is the way of seeds and trusting
1:24:24the laws of growth and agriculture you
1:24:26know that the seeds will come forth
1:24:28after their kind
1:24:30the faith that is described in the Bible
1:24:32is a way of thinking an attitude of Mind
1:24:34an inner certitude knowing that the idea
1:24:37you fully accept in your conscious mind
1:24:39will be embodied in your subconscious
1:24:41mind and made manifest
1:24:43faith is in a sense accepting is true
1:24:47what your reason and senses deny
1:24:49it is closing down refusing to listen to
1:24:52the little rational analytical conscious
1:24:55mind and embracing an attitude of
1:24:57complete Reliance on the inner power of
1:24:59your subconscious mind
1:25:01here is one of the best known examples
1:25:03of the biblical technique of healing
1:25:06and when he was coming to the house the
1:25:08blind man came to him and Jesus saith
1:25:11unto them believe ye that I am able to
1:25:13do this
1:25:14they said unto him yeah Lord
1:25:17then touched he their eyes saying
1:25:20according to your faith be it unto you
1:25:23and their eyes were opened and Jesus
1:25:25straightly charged them saying see that
1:25:28no man know it
1:25:30Matthew 9 28-30
1:25:33by saying according to your faith be it
1:25:35unto you Jesus was openly appealing to
1:25:38the cooperation of the subconscious mind
1:25:40of the Blind Men
1:25:42their faith was their great expectancy
1:25:44their inner feeling their inner
1:25:46conviction that something miraculous
1:25:48would happen that their prayer would be
1:25:50answered
1:25:51and therefore it was
1:25:53this is the time on a technique of
1:25:55healing utilized alike by all healing
1:25:58groups throughout the world regardless
1:26:00of religious affiliation
1:26:02in saying see that no man know it Jesus
1:26:05was urging the newly healed patients not
1:26:08to discuss their healing with others
1:26:10if they did know they might be harassed
1:26:13by the skeptical and derogatory
1:26:15criticisms of the unbelieving
1:26:17this in turn might have tended to undo
1:26:19the benefits they had received at the
1:26:21hand of Jesus by depositing thoughts of
1:26:23fear doubt and anxiety in the
1:26:26subconscious mind
1:26:28for with authority and power he
1:26:30commandeth the unclean spirits and they
1:26:32came out
1:26:33Luke 4 36
1:26:36when the sick came to Jesus to be healed
1:26:38they were healed by their own faith
1:26:40together with his faith and
1:26:42understanding of the healing power of
1:26:44the subconscious mind
1:26:46whatever he decreed he felt inwardly to
1:26:49be true
1:26:50he and the people needing help were in
1:26:52the one universal subjective mind and
1:26:55his silent inner knowing and conviction
1:26:56of the healing power changed the
1:26:58negative destructive patterns in the
1:27:00patient's subconscious
1:27:02the resultant healings were the
1:27:04automatic response to the internal
1:27:06mental change
1:27:07his command was his appeal to the
1:27:09subconscious mind of the patients plus
1:27:11his awareness feeling and absolute trust
1:27:14in the response of the subconscious mind
1:27:16to the words that he spoke with
1:27:18authority
1:27:19on every continent in every Land There
1:27:22are shrines at which cures take place
1:27:25some are world famous
1:27:27others are known only to those who live
1:27:30nearby
1:27:31whether celebrated or obscure the
1:27:34healings that happen at these shrines
1:27:35happen for the same reasons and by way
1:27:38of the same powers of the subconscious
1:27:40mind
1:27:41I have visited several of the famous
1:27:43shrines in Japan
1:27:45the central focus of the world-renowned
1:27:48shrine of dayabatsu is a gigantic bronze
1:27:50statue of 42 feet tall
1:27:53it depicts Buddha seated with folded
1:27:55hands his head is inclined in an
1:27:57attitude of profound contemplative
1:27:59ecstasy
1:28:00here I saw young and old making
1:28:02offerings at its feet
1:28:04money fruit rice and oranges were
1:28:07offered
1:28:09candles were lit incense was burned and
1:28:12prayers of petition recited
1:28:14I listened to the chant of a young girl
1:28:16as she in tone a prayer bowed low and
1:28:19placed two oranges as an offering
1:28:21she was thanking Buddha for restoring
1:28:24her voice
1:28:25she had lost her voice but it was
1:28:27restored at The Shrine
1:28:29her simple faith that Buddha would give
1:28:31her back her singing voice if she
1:28:33followed a certain ritual fasted and
1:28:36made certain offerings had helped to
1:28:37Kindle faith and expectancy
1:28:40the result was a conditioning of her
1:28:42mind to the point of belief
1:28:44her subconscious mind responded to her
1:28:47belief
1:28:48the power of imagination and blind
1:28:50belief cannot be overstated
1:28:53a wondrous example of this is the case
1:28:55of a relative of mine in Perth in
1:28:58Western Australia who suffered from
1:29:00tuberculosis
1:29:02his lungs were badly diseased
1:29:05his son decided to help his father to
1:29:07heal himself
1:29:09he went to his father's house and told
1:29:11him he had met a recently met a
1:29:12Wandering monk with strange powers
1:29:15the monk had just returned from a long
1:29:17stay at one of the most celebrated
1:29:19healing shrines in Europe
1:29:21there this monk had acquired a small
1:29:23fragment of the True Cross set in a ring
1:29:26that dated back to the Middle Ages
1:29:28over the centuries countless sufferers
1:29:31have been healed after touching the ring
1:29:33or the fragment of the cross
1:29:35when the sun had heard this he had told
1:29:37the monk about his father's illness and
1:29:39begged to borrow the ring
1:29:41the monk had agreed
1:29:43the son then gave the monk a free will
1:29:46offering of the equivalent of 500.
1:29:49when the sun showed his rather the ring
1:29:51he older man practically snatched it
1:29:53from him
1:29:55he clasped the ring to his chest prayed
1:29:57silently and went to sleep
1:30:00in the morning he was healed
1:30:02all of the Clinic's tests proved
1:30:05negative
1:30:06healings of this sort happen all the
1:30:08time
1:30:09what is most significant about this one
1:30:11is that the sun's amazing story was
1:30:14totally made up
1:30:15in fact he had picked up a splinter of
1:30:18wood from the sidewalk taken it to a
1:30:20jeweler and had it set in a gold ring of
1:30:23antique design
1:30:24he then gave it to his father
1:30:27you know of course it was not the
1:30:30Splinter of wood from the sidewalk that
1:30:32healed the father
1:30:33no it was his imagination aroused to an
1:30:36intense degree plus The Confident
1:30:38expectancy of a perfect healing
1:30:41imagination was joined to Faith or
1:30:44subjective feeling and the union of the
1:30:46two brought about a healing through the
1:30:47power of His subconscious mind
1:30:50the father never learned of the trick
1:30:52that had been played upon him
1:30:54if he had he might well have had a
1:30:56relapse
1:30:58instead his tuberculosis never returned
1:31:02he remained completely cured and passed
1:31:04away from other causes 15 years later at
1:31:07the age of 89.
1:31:09it is a well-known fact that all the
1:31:11various schools of healing bring about
1:31:13documented cures of the most wonderful
1:31:15character
1:31:16the most obvious conclusion that strikes
1:31:19your mind is that there must be some
1:31:21underlying organ and process that is
1:31:23common to them all
1:31:24indeed there is
1:31:26the organ of healing is the subconscious
1:31:29mind and the process of healing is faith
1:31:33think deeply about these fundamental
1:31:35truths
1:31:36you possess mental functions that have
1:31:38been distinguished by designating one
1:31:40the conscious mind and the other the
1:31:42subconscious mind
1:31:44your subconscious mind is commonly
1:31:46amenable to the power of suggestion
1:31:49you subconscious mind has complete
1:31:51control of the functions conditions and
1:31:54sensations of your body
1:31:56you surely know that symptoms of almost
1:31:58any disease can be induced in hypnotic
1:32:01subjects by suggestion
1:32:03for example a subject in a hypnotic
1:32:06State can develop a high temperature
1:32:07flushed face or chills according to the
1:32:10nature of the suggestion given
1:32:12you can suggest to the person that he is
1:32:15paralyzed and cannot walk and it will be
1:32:17so
1:32:18you can hold a cup of water the nose of
1:32:21the hypnotic subject and tell him this
1:32:23is full of pepper smell it
1:32:25he will sneeze violently and repeatedly
1:32:29what do you think caused him to sneeze
1:32:31the water or the suggestion
1:32:34if someone tells you he is allergic to
1:32:36Timothy grass you can place a synthetic
1:32:39flower or An Empty Glass in front of his
1:32:41nose when he is in a hypnotic State and
1:32:44tell him it is Timothy grass
1:32:46he will develop his usual allergic
1:32:48symptoms
1:32:50this shows us that the cause of the
1:32:52symptoms is in the subconscious mind
1:32:55curing the symptoms also takes place in
1:32:57the subconscious mind
1:32:59different schools of medicine such as
1:33:02osteopathy Chiropractic Chi Kong
1:33:05acupuncture and naturopathy all produce
1:33:08remarkable healings
1:33:10so do the rights and ceremonies of the
1:33:12various religious beliefs throughout the
1:33:14world
1:33:15it is obvious that all of these healings
1:33:18are brought about through the
1:33:19subconscious mind the only healer there
1:33:21is
1:33:22notice how the subconscious mind heals a
1:33:25cut on your finger
1:33:27it knows exactly how to do it
1:33:30the doctor dresses the wound and says
1:33:32nature heals it
1:33:34but nature is nothing more than another
1:33:36name for natural law the law of the
1:33:38subconscious mind
1:33:40the Instinct of self-preservation is the
1:33:43first law of Nature and
1:33:44self-preservation is the foremost
1:33:46function of the subconscious mind
1:33:49your strongest instinct is the most
1:33:51potent of all auto suggestions
1:33:54many different theories of healing have
1:33:56been Advanced by different religious
1:33:57sects and prayer therapy groups
1:34:00there are a great member who claim that
1:34:02because their practice produces results
1:34:04their Theory therefore must be right
1:34:07as we have seen in this chapter this
1:34:09cannot be correct
1:34:11as you know there are many varieties of
1:34:14healing
1:34:15Franz Anton Messmer
1:34:181734-1815 an Austrian physician who
1:34:21practiced in Paris discovered that by
1:34:24applying magnets to a diseased body he
1:34:26could cure that disease miraculously
1:34:29he also performed cures with various
1:34:31other pieces of Glass and Metal
1:34:34later he abandoned the use of these
1:34:36objects in favor of passing his hands
1:34:39over the patient's body
1:34:40he claimed that the real source of his
1:34:43cures was what he called animal
1:34:44magnetism
1:34:46he theorized that some mysterious
1:34:48magnetic substance was transmitted from
1:34:50the healer's hands to the patient
1:34:53Messmer lent his name to this method of
1:34:55treating disease which came to be called
1:34:57mesmerism
1:34:59today we know it as hypnotism
1:35:02other Physicians jealous of Mesmer
1:35:04success claimed that all his healings
1:35:07were due to suggestion in nothing else
1:35:09when pressed however they had to admit
1:35:12they did not know how this power of
1:35:14suggestion created such amazing effects
1:35:17all of these groups psychiatrists
1:35:20psychologists osteopaths chiropractors
1:35:23Physicians and religious groups of every
1:35:26variety are using the one universal
1:35:29power resident in the subconscious mind
1:35:32each May proclaim the healings are due
1:35:34to their Theory but the truth is far
1:35:36different
1:35:37that process of all healing is a
1:35:40definite positive mental attitude an
1:35:43inner attitude or a way of thinking
1:35:45called faith
1:35:47healing is due to a confident expectancy
1:35:49that acts as a powerful suggestion to
1:35:51the subconscious mind releasing its
1:35:54healing potency
1:35:55one person does not heal by a different
1:35:57power than another
1:35:59it is true that both may have their own
1:36:02theories or methods but there is only
1:36:04one process of healing and that is faith
1:36:07there is only one healing power namely
1:36:10your subconscious mind
1:36:12select whatever Theory belief and method
1:36:15that calls out to you
1:36:17you can rest assured if you have faith
1:36:20you will get results
1:36:22philippus paracelsus a famous Swiss
1:36:25chemist and physician who lived from
1:36:271493 to 1541 was a great healer in his
1:36:31day
1:36:32he stated what is now an obvious
1:36:34scientific fact when he said
1:36:36whether the object of your faith be real
1:36:38or false you will nevertheless obtain
1:36:41the same effects
1:36:43thus if I believed in Saint Peter's
1:36:45statue as I should have believed in
1:36:47Saint Peter himself I shall obtain the
1:36:49same effects that I should have obtained
1:36:51from Saint Peter
1:36:53but that is superstition
1:36:55Faith however produces Miracles and
1:36:59whether it is true or false faith it
1:37:01will always produce the same wonders
1:37:04the views of paracelsus were echoed in
1:37:06the 16th century by Pietro pompanazi an
1:37:09Italian philosopher who wrote
1:37:12we can easily conceive The Marvelous
1:37:14effects which confidence and Imagination
1:37:16can produce particularly when both
1:37:19qualities are reciprocated between the
1:37:21subjects and the person who influences
1:37:23them
1:37:24the cues attributed to the influence of
1:37:27certain relics are the effect of their
1:37:29imagination and confidence
1:37:31quacks and philosophers know that if the
1:37:33bones of any skeleton were put in place
1:37:35of the Saints Bones the sick would
1:37:38nonetheless experience beneficial
1:37:39effects if they believed that they were
1:37:41veritable relics
1:37:43think what this implies
1:37:46if you believe in the power of saints
1:37:48bones or in the healing properties of
1:37:50certain Waters or like my Australian
1:37:52relative in the miraculous effects of a
1:37:55fragment of wood you will get results
1:37:57because of the powerful suggestion given
1:37:59to your subconscious mind
1:38:01it is the latter that does the healing
1:38:04hippolyte burnheim was professor of
1:38:06medicine at Nancy France early in the
1:38:0920th century
1:38:11he was one of the first to explain how a
1:38:13physician's suggestion to the patient
1:38:15took effect because of the force of the
1:38:17subconscious mind
1:38:19bernheim relates the story of a man
1:38:21whose tongue was paralyzed
1:38:24every form of treatment was tried with
1:38:26no success at all
1:38:28then one day the man's doctor announced
1:38:31that he had learned of a new instrument
1:38:32that was certain to relieve his problem
1:38:35the doctor then put a pocket thermometer
1:38:38in the patient's mouth
1:38:40the patient imagined this was the
1:38:42instrument that was to save him
1:38:44in a few moments he cried out joyfully
1:38:46that he could once more move his tongue
1:38:48freely
1:38:49bernheim continues
1:38:51among our cases facts of the same sort
1:38:54will be found
1:38:56a young girl came into my office having
1:38:59suffered from complete loss of speech
1:39:01for nearly four weeks
1:39:03after making sure of the diagnosis I
1:39:06told my students that loss of speech
1:39:08sometimes yielded instantly to
1:39:10electricity which might act simply by
1:39:12its suggestive influence
1:39:14I sent for the induction apparatus
1:39:17I applied my hand over the larynx and
1:39:20moved a little and said now you can
1:39:22speak aloud
1:39:23in an instant I made her say a then B
1:39:27then Maria
1:39:29she continued to speak distinctly the
1:39:31loss of voice had disappeared
1:39:34here bernheim is showing the power of
1:39:36faith and expectancy on the part of the
1:39:38patient which acts as s powerful
1:39:40suggestion to the subconscious mind
1:39:43bernheim states that he produced a
1:39:45blister on the back of a patient's neck
1:39:47by applying a postage stamp and
1:39:49suggesting to the patient that it was a
1:39:51fly plaster
1:39:53this sort of demonstration has been
1:39:55confirmed by the experiments and
1:39:57experiences of many doctors in many
1:39:59parts of the world
1:40:00these leave no doubt that structural
1:40:03changes in the body can be brought about
1:40:05as a result or oral suggestion to
1:40:07patients
1:40:08hemorrhages and bloody Stigmata can be
1:40:11induced by means of suggestion
1:40:13as a demonstration of this Dr M buru put
1:40:17a subject into a hypnotic trance then
1:40:20gave him the following suggestion
1:40:22at four o'clock this afternoon after the
1:40:25hypnosis you will come into my office
1:40:27sit down in this armchair and fold your
1:40:29arms across your chest
1:40:31your nose will then begin to bleed
1:40:34that afternoon the young man did exactly
1:40:37as he had been told
1:40:39after he crossed his arms several drops
1:40:42of blood came from his left nostril
1:40:45on another occasion the same
1:40:47investigator traced a patient's name on
1:40:49both his forearms with the dull point of
1:40:51an instrument while the patient was in a
1:40:53hypnotic trance
1:40:55buru then said
1:40:57at four o'clock this afternoon you will
1:40:59go to sleep
1:41:01your arms will bleed along the lines I
1:41:03have traced and your name appear written
1:41:05on your arms in letters of blood
1:41:08the patient was carefully observed that
1:41:10afternoon
1:41:11at four o'clock he fell asleep
1:41:14on his left arm the letters stood out in
1:41:17bright relief and in several places
1:41:19there were drops of blood
1:41:21although the letters gradually faded
1:41:23they were still faintly visible three
1:41:25months afterward
1:41:27these facts demonstrated once the
1:41:29correctness of the two fundamental
1:41:31propositions previously stated namely
1:41:34the constant amenability of the
1:41:36subconscious mind to the power of
1:41:37suggestion and the perfect control that
1:41:40the subconscious mind exercises over the
1:41:42functions Sensations and conditions of
1:41:45the body
1:41:46all the foregoing phenomena dramatized
1:41:49vividly abnormal conditions induced by
1:41:51suggestion
1:41:53they are conclusive proof that as a man
1:41:55thinks in his heart so is he

1:42:01mental healings in modern times
1:42:04what is it that heals
1:42:06where is this healing power and how can
1:42:09it be put to practical use
1:42:11these are vital questions of deep
1:42:13concern to all of us
1:42:15to all of them the answer is the same
1:42:18this healing power is in the
1:42:20subconscious mind of each person and a
1:42:22changed mental attitude on the part of
1:42:24the sick person releases this healing
1:42:26power
1:42:27no mental or religious science
1:42:29practitioner psychologist psychiatrist
1:42:32or medical doctor ever healed a patient
1:42:36there is an old saying the doctor
1:42:38dresses the wound but God heals it
1:42:41the psychologist or psychiatrist makes
1:42:44effective change by removing the mental
1:42:46blocks in the patient so that the
1:42:48healing principle may be released
1:42:49restoring the patient to health
1:42:52in the same way the surgeon removes the
1:42:55physical block enabling the healing
1:42:57currents to function normally
1:42:59no physician surgeon or mental science
1:43:02practitioner can legitimately claim that
1:43:04he or she healed the patient
1:43:07the one healing power may be called by
1:43:09many names nature life God creative
1:43:13intelligence but in reality these are
1:43:15simply different ways to refer to
1:43:17subconscious power
1:43:19as we have already seen there are many
1:43:21different ways we can use to remove the
1:43:23mental emotional and physical blocks
1:43:26that inhibit the flow of the healing
1:43:28life principle animating all of us
1:43:31the healing principle resident in your
1:43:33subconscious mind can and will if
1:43:35properly directed by you or some other
1:43:37person heal your mind and body of all
1:43:40disease
1:43:41this healing principle operates in all
1:43:43persons regardless of creed color or
1:43:46race
1:43:47you do not have to belong to some
1:43:49particular Church in order to use and
1:43:52participate in this healing process
1:43:54your subconscious will heal the burn or
1:43:57cut on your hand even though you profess
1:43:59to be an atheist or agnostic
1:44:01the modern mental healing is based on a
1:44:04truth that the infinite intelligence and
1:44:06power of your subconscious mind responds
1:44:08according to your faith
1:44:10mental science practitioners or
1:44:12ministers follow the injunction of the
1:44:14Bible
1:44:15that is they go into their closet and
1:44:18shut the door which means they still
1:44:20their minds relax let go and think of
1:44:23the infinite healing presence within
1:44:25them
1:44:26they close the door of their mind to all
1:44:28outside distractions as well as
1:44:30appearances and then they quietly and
1:44:32knowingly turn over their request or
1:44:34desire to their subconscious mind
1:44:36realizing that the intelligence of their
1:44:38mind will answer them according to their
1:44:40specific needs
1:44:42the most wonderful thing to know is this
1:44:44imagine the end desired and feel its
1:44:47reality then the infinite life principle
1:44:49will respond to your conscious choice
1:44:51and your conscious request
1:44:54this is the meaning of the text believe
1:44:55you have received and you shall receive
1:44:58this is what the modern mental scientist
1:45:01does when he practices prayer therapy
1:45:04there is only one universal healing
1:45:06principle operating through everything
1:45:07the cat the dog the tree the grass the
1:45:12wind the Earth for everything is alive
1:45:15this life principle operates through the
1:45:18animal vegetable and mineral kingdoms as
1:45:21Instinct and the law of growth
1:45:23because humans are consciously aware of
1:45:25this life principle we can consciously
1:45:28direct it to bless ourselves in
1:45:29countless ways
1:45:31there are many different approaches
1:45:33techniques and methods in using the
1:45:35universal power but there is only one
1:45:38process of healing which is Faith for
1:45:40according to your faith is it done unto
1:45:42you
1:45:43all religions of the world represent
1:45:45forms of belief and these beliefs are
1:45:48explained in many ways
1:45:50the law of life is belief
1:45:53what do you believe about yourself life
1:45:55and the universe
1:45:57it is done unto you as you believe
1:46:00is a thought in your mind which causes
1:46:03the power of your subconscious to be
1:46:04distributed into All Phases of your life
1:46:07according to your thinking habits
1:46:09you must realize the Bible speaks of
1:46:12belief it is not talking about your
1:46:14belief in some ritual ceremony form
1:46:16institution man or formula
1:46:20it is talking about belief itself
1:46:23the belief of your mind is simply the
1:46:25thought of your mind
1:46:27if thou can'tst believe all things are
1:46:29possible to him that believeth
1:46:32Mark 9 23.
1:46:34it is foolish to believe in something
1:46:36that will hurt or harm you
1:46:38remember it is not the thing believed in
1:46:41that hurts or harms you but the belief
1:46:43or thought in your mind which creates
1:46:45the result
1:46:47all your experiences all your actions
1:46:50and all the events and circumstances of
1:46:52your life are but the reflections and
1:46:54reactions to your own thought
1:46:57prayer therapy is the synchronized
1:46:59harmonious and intelligent function of
1:47:02the conscious and subconscious levels of
1:47:04Mind specifically directed for a
1:47:06definite purpose
1:47:08in scientific prayer or prayer therapy
1:47:10you must know what you are doing and why
1:47:12you are doing it
1:47:14you trust the law of healing
1:47:16prayer therapy is sometimes referred to
1:47:19as mental treatment
1:47:21another term is scientific prayer
1:47:24in prayer therapy you consciously choose
1:47:26a certain idea mental picture or plan
1:47:29which you desire to experience
1:47:32you realize your capacity to convey this
1:47:34idea or mental image to your
1:47:36subconscious by feeling the reality of
1:47:38the state assumed
1:47:40as you remain faithful in your mental
1:47:42attitude your prayer will be answered
1:47:45prayer therapy is a definite mental
1:47:48action for a definite specific purpose
1:47:51let us suppose that you decide to heal a
1:47:53certain difficulty by prayer therapy
1:47:56you are aware that your problem or
1:47:58sickness whatever it may be must be
1:48:01caused by negative thoughts charged with
1:48:03fear enlarged in your subconscious mind
1:48:06you realize that if you can succeed in
1:48:09cleansing your mind of these thoughts
1:48:10you will get a healing
1:48:12you therefore turn to the healing power
1:48:15within your own subconscious mind
1:48:18you remind yourself of its infinite
1:48:20power and intelligence and its capacity
1:48:22to heal all conditions
1:48:24as you dwell on these truths your fear
1:48:27will begin to dissolve
1:48:29the recollection of these truths battles
1:48:32and ultimately overcomes the erroneous
1:48:34beliefs
1:48:35you give thanks for the healing that you
1:48:37know will come
1:48:38then you keep your mind off the
1:48:40difficulty until you feel guided after
1:48:43an interval To Pray Again
1:48:45while you are praying you refuse to give
1:48:48any power to the negative conditions or
1:48:50to admit for a second that the healing
1:48:52will not come
1:48:53this attitude of Mind brings about the
1:48:56harmonious Union of the conscious and
1:48:58subconscious mind which releases the
1:49:00healing power
1:49:01what is popularly known as Faith healing
1:49:04is not the faith spoken of in the Bible
1:49:06which means a knowledge of the
1:49:08interaction of the conscious and
1:49:09subconscious mind
1:49:11a faith healer is one who heals without
1:49:14any real scientific understanding of the
1:49:16powers and forces involved
1:49:19he or she may claim that a special gift
1:49:21of healing and a sick person's blind
1:49:23belief in him or her or his or her
1:49:26powers may bring results
1:49:28in many parts of the world traditional
1:49:30healers treat their patients by dances
1:49:33incantations and indications of spirits
1:49:37a person may be healed by touching the
1:49:39relics of a saint wearing special ritual
1:49:42Garb lighting a holy incense or candle
1:49:44or drinking a mixture of brewed herbs
1:49:47anything that leads the patient to
1:49:49honestly believe in the method or
1:49:51process will make a healing more likely
1:49:54any method which causes you to move from
1:49:56fear and worry to Faith and expectancy
1:49:59will heal
1:50:00many people claim that because their
1:50:02individual theories produce results they
1:50:05must therefore be correct and true
1:50:08as we have already seen this cannot be
1:50:11right
1:50:12to illustrate how Blind Faith Works
1:50:14think back to our discussion of the
1:50:16Swiss physician Franz Anton Messmer
1:50:19in 1776 he claimed many cures by
1:50:23stroking the bodies of his patients with
1:50:25magnets
1:50:26later he threw away his magnets and
1:50:29simply made passes with his hands at a
1:50:31short distance from the patient
1:50:33this too worked
1:50:36to explain the success of this new
1:50:38procedure Messmer evolved the theory of
1:50:40animal magnetism
1:50:42this he held to be a fluid which
1:50:44pervades the universe but is most active
1:50:47in the human organism
1:50:49he claimed that this magnetic fluid
1:50:51which was being transmitted from his
1:50:53hands to his patients and that this
1:50:54transfer of animal magnetism was what
1:50:56healed them
1:50:58people flock to him and many wonderful
1:51:00cures were reported
1:51:02mesma moved to Paris
1:51:05there the government appointed a
1:51:07commission to investigate his cures
1:51:09its members included prominent
1:51:11Physicians and members of The Academy of
1:51:14Science of which Benjamin Franklin was a
1:51:16member
1:51:17after a thorough inquiry the commission
1:51:20admitted that Messmer had produced
1:51:21confirmed cures
1:51:23it held however that there was no
1:51:26evidence to prove the correctness of his
1:51:28magnetic fluid Theory
1:51:30it suggested that the effects were due
1:51:32to the imagination of the patients
1:51:35soon after this Mesmer was driven into
1:51:37exile
1:51:39he died in 1815.
1:51:42shortly afterward Dr James braid of
1:51:45Manchester England undertook to show
1:51:47that magnetic fluid had nothing to do
1:51:49with the production of the healings of
1:51:51Dr Mesmer
1:51:52Dr braid discovered that patients could
1:51:55be thrown into hypnotic sleep by
1:51:57suggestion
1:51:58while they were in the hypnotic trance
1:52:00he succeeded in producing many of the
1:52:02amazing phenomena that Messmer ascribed
1:52:05to animal magnetism
1:52:07you can readily SE that all these cures
1:52:09were undoubtedly brought about by the
1:52:11active imagination of the patients
1:52:13together with a powerful suggestion of
1:52:15Health to their subconscious Minds
1:52:18it is not unfair to call this Blind
1:52:20Faith because neither the patients not
1:52:22the practitioners understood how the
1:52:24cures were brought about
1:52:26the subjective or subconscious mind of
1:52:28an individual is as amenable to the
1:52:31control of his own conscious or
1:52:32objective mind as it is to the
1:52:34suggestions of another
1:52:36it follows that whatever may be your
1:52:38objective belief if you will assume to
1:52:40have faith actively or passively your
1:52:43subconscious mind will be controlled by
1:52:45the suggestion and your desire will be
1:52:47fulfilled
1:52:48the faith required in mental healings is
1:52:51a purely subjective faith
1:52:53the way to attain is to put an end to
1:52:56the act of opposition on the part of the
1:52:58objective or conscious mind
1:53:00for the effective healing of the body to
1:53:03take place it is of course best if both
1:53:06the conscious and subconscious mind are
1:53:08in a state of fully accepting faith
1:53:11however it is not always essential you
1:53:14can enter into a state of passivity and
1:53:16receptivity by relaxing the mind and the
1:53:19body and getting into a sleepy state
1:53:21in this drowsy State your passivity
1:53:24becomes receptive to subjective
1:53:26impression
1:53:27a man once asked me how is it that I got
1:53:30a healing through a certain minister
1:53:32when he told me that there is no such
1:53:34thing as disease and I did not believe
1:53:36what he said when he told me that there
1:53:38is no such thing as disease and that
1:53:40matter does not exist I did not believe
1:53:42a word he said
1:53:44I thought we was insulting my
1:53:46intelligence
1:53:47and yet I was healed
1:53:50how could that be
1:53:51I told the man the explanation is simple
1:53:55he was quieted by soothing words and
1:53:57told to get into a perfectly passive
1:53:59condition to say nothing and think of
1:54:02nothing for the time being
1:54:04the minister also became passive
1:54:07he affirmed quietly peacefully and
1:54:10constantly for about one half hour that
1:54:12this man would have perfect health peace
1:54:14Harmony and wholeness
1:54:17at the end of the half hour the man felt
1:54:20immense relief and was restored to
1:54:21health
1:54:22it is easy to see that his subjective
1:54:25Faith had been made manifest by his
1:54:27passivity under treatment and the
1:54:29suggestions of perfect helpfulness by
1:54:31the minister were conveyed to his
1:54:33subconscious mind
1:54:34the two subjective Minds were then in
1:54:37rapport
1:54:38if the man had allowed his doubts about
1:54:40the healer's power and correctness of
1:54:42this Theory to surface this would have
1:54:44acted as antagonistic Auto suggestions
1:54:48The Minister's suggestions would have
1:54:50been seriously handicapped or evenly
1:54:52totally frustrated
1:54:54in this sleepy drowsy State however the
1:54:57resistance of the conscious mind was
1:54:59reduced to a minimum
1:55:01the subconscious mind of the patient was
1:55:04receptive to The Minister's suggestions
1:55:06it performed its functions in harmony
1:55:09with those suggestions and a healing
1:55:11followed
1:55:12suppose while living in Los Angeles you
1:55:15learned that your mother in New York
1:55:16City was seriously ill
1:55:19your first impulse might be to leave
1:55:21your home and job to go to her
1:55:23but what if that were not possible
1:55:26would you have to give up any hope of
1:55:28lending the strength of your faith to
1:55:30the process of yours mother's recovery
1:55:32no
1:55:34while you might not be physically
1:55:35present your prayers would go to her
1:55:37nonetheless
1:55:38it is the father within that doeth the
1:55:41work
1:55:42there is but one creative mind
1:55:45the creative law of the Mind serves you
1:55:48what you must do is induce an inner
1:55:50realization of health and Harmony in
1:55:52your own mentality
1:55:54its response is automatic
1:55:57this inner realization acting through
1:55:59the subconscious mind operates in turn
1:56:02on your mother's subconscious mind
1:56:04your thoughts of health and vitality and
1:56:07Perfection operate through the one
1:56:09universal subjective mind
1:56:11they set in motion a law of the
1:56:13subjective side of life that manifests
1:56:16through her body as a healing
1:56:18in the mind principle there is no time
1:56:20or space
1:56:22the same mind operates through your
1:56:24mother and through you no matter where
1:56:26you may be
1:56:27in reality there is no absent treatment
1:56:30as opposed to present treatment for the
1:56:32universal mind is on the present
1:56:35you do not try to send out thoughts or
1:56:37hold a thought
1:56:39your treatment is a conscious movement
1:56:41of thought
1:56:42as you become conscious of the qualities
1:56:44of Health well-being and relaxation
1:56:47these qualities will be resurgent in the
1:56:50experience of your mother
1:56:52results will follow
1:56:54here is an actual example of what is
1:56:56misleadingly called absent treatment
1:56:59a woman in Los Angeles learned that her
1:57:01mother in New York had suffered a
1:57:03coronary thrombosis
1:57:05she could not go to see her mother's
1:57:07side but she prayed as follows
1:57:10the healing presence is right where my
1:57:12mother is
1:57:14her bodily condition is but a reflection
1:57:16of her thought life like Shadows cast on
1:57:19the screen
1:57:20I know that in order to change the
1:57:22images on the screen I must change what
1:57:24they reflect
1:57:25I now project in my own mind the image
1:57:28of wholeness Harmony and perfect health
1:57:30for my mother
1:57:32the infinite healing presence which
1:57:34created my mother's body and all her
1:57:36organs is now saturating every atom of
1:57:38her being and a river of Peace flows
1:57:41through every cell of her body
1:57:43the doctors are divinely guided and
1:57:45directed and whoever touches my mother
1:57:47is guided to do the right thing
1:57:50I know that disease has no Ultimate
1:57:52Reality if it had no one could be healed
1:57:56I now align myself with the infinite
1:57:58principle of love and life
1:58:00I know and decree that Harmony Health
1:58:03and peace are now being expressed in my
1:58:06mother's body
1:58:07she prayed in this manner several times
1:58:09a day
1:58:11after a few days her mother had a
1:58:13remarkable recovery
1:58:15her cardiologist was amazed and
1:58:17complimented her on her great faith in
1:58:19the power of God
1:58:21the conclusion arrived at in the
1:58:23daughter's mind and accepted by her with
1:58:25perfect Faith set in motion to Creative
1:58:27Energy within the universal subconscious
1:58:29mind
1:58:31this manifested itself through her
1:58:33mother's body as perfect health and
1:58:35harmony
1:58:36what the daughter felt as true about her
1:58:38mother was simultaneously expressed in
1:58:40the experience of her mother
1:58:43a psychologist friend of mine told me
1:58:45that a biopsy had shown the presence of
1:58:47cancerous cells in a vital organ
1:58:50her oncologist recommended a painful and
1:58:53dangerous treatment
1:58:54before agreeing my friend tried another
1:58:57approach
1:58:58every night before going to sleep she
1:59:01quietly affirmed every cell nerve tissue
1:59:04and organ is now being made whole pure
1:59:07and perfect
1:59:09my whole body is being restored to
1:59:11health and harmony
1:59:13a complete healing followed in about a
1:59:15month's time
1:59:16subsequent tests showed that the
1:59:19cancerous were no longer present
1:59:21I was very impressed by this but also
1:59:24curious
1:59:25I asked her why she repeated the words
1:59:27prior to sleep
1:59:29she told me once it is set in Motion in
1:59:32a certain direction the kinetic action
1:59:34of the subconscious mind continues
1:59:36throughout your sleep
1:59:38that is why it is critical to give the
1:59:40subconscious mind something beneficial
1:59:42to work on as you drop off into slumber
1:59:45this was a very wise answer
1:59:48notice that in thinking of Harmony in
1:59:50perfect health she never referred to her
1:59:53condition by name
1:59:54I strongly suggest that you stop talking
1:59:57about your ailments or giving them a
1:59:59name especially in the hours leading up
2:00:01to sleep
2:00:02the only sap from which they draw life
2:00:04is your attention and fear of them
2:00:07like the above mentioned psychologist
2:00:09become a mental surgeon
2:00:11then your troubles will be cut off the
2:00:13way dead branches are pruned from a tree
2:00:16on the other hand if you are constantly
2:00:19naming your aches and symptoms and
2:00:20discussing them give them power over you
2:00:24you inhibit the kinetic action that
2:00:26releases the healing power and energy of
2:00:28your subconscious mind
2:00:30furthermore by the law of your own mind
2:00:33these imaginings tend to take shape as
2:00:36the thing I greatly feared
2:00:38fill your mind with great truths of life
2:00:40and walk forward in the light of love

2:00:52bridge or design a spacecraft he or she
2:00:55approaches the problem with a known
2:00:57familiar technique and a set of
2:00:59practiced skills and methods

2:01:20engineers first had to understand
2:01:21mathematical principles stresses and
2:01:24strains
2:01:26secondly they developed in their minds a
2:01:28visualization of the ideal Bridge across
2:01:31the day
2:01:32the third step was the application of
2:01:34tried and proven methods by which the
2:01:36principles were implemented
2:01:38when these three steps were completed
2:01:40the bridge took form in generations of
2:01:43motorists began to drive across it
2:01:46if you want your prayers to be answered

2:02:14something in your life
2:02:16when we come to analyze prayer we
2:02:18discover there are many different
2:02:20approaches and methods
2:02:22we will not consider in this book the
2:02:24formal ritual prayers used in religious
2:02:27services
2:02:28these have an important place in group
2:02:30worship
2:02:31we are immediately concerned with

2:02:53it reveals the things you want in life
2:02:56blessed are they that hunger and thirst
2:02:58after righteousness for they shall be
2:03:00filled
2:03:02that is the real nature of prayer the
2:03:04effective expression of life's hunger
2:03:06and thirst for peace Harmony Health joy
2:03:09and all the other blessings of life
2:03:12as we have seen the secret of effective
2:03:15prayer is to imbue subconscious mind
2:03:17with the desired outcome
2:03:19one of the simplest ways to do this is
2:03:21what is called the passing over
2:03:23technique
2:03:24this consists essentially in inducing
2:03:27the subconscious mind to take over your
2:03:29request as handed it by the conscious
2:03:31mind
2:03:32this passing over is best accomplished
2:03:34in the dreamlike state
2:03:36know that in your deeper mind is
2:03:38infinite intelligence and infinite power
2:03:41just calmly think over what you want
2:03:43visualize it's coming into Fuller
2:03:45fruition From This Moment forward
2:03:48be like the little girl who had a very
2:03:50bad cough and a sore throat
2:03:53she declared firmly and repeatedly it is
2:03:56passing away now
2:03:57it is passing away now
2:04:00it passed away in about an hour
2:04:03use this technique with complete
2:04:05Simplicity and naivete
2:04:07if you are building a new home for
2:04:09yourself and your family you would take
2:04:11an intense interest in the blueprint for
2:04:13your home
2:04:14you would want to make sure that the
2:04:16builders followed your blueprint to The
2:04:18Last Detail
2:04:19you would keep watch over the materials
2:04:21they used
2:04:23knowing that the future life of your
2:04:25home depends on the quality of the
2:04:27materials used to construct it you would
2:04:29select only the best cement insulation
2:04:31electrical wiring Roofing and so on
2:04:35does it not sense to take the same care
2:04:37with your mental home and your mental
2:04:39blueprint for happiness and abundance
2:04:42all your experiences and everything that
2:04:44enters into your life depend upon the
2:04:46nature of the mental building blocks
2:04:48which you use in the construction of
2:04:50your mental home
2:04:51if your blueprint is full of mental
2:04:53patterns of fear worry anxiety or lack
2:04:57and if you are despondent doubtful and
2:04:59cynical then the quality of the mental
2:05:01materials you are installing in your
2:05:03mind will come forth as more toil care
2:05:06tension anxiety and limitation of all
2:05:09kinds
2:05:10the most fundamental and the most
2:05:12far-reaching activity in life is that
2:05:14which you build into your mentality
2:05:16every waking hour
2:05:18your word is silent and invisible
2:05:20nevertheless it is real
2:05:23you are building your mental home all
2:05:25the time and your thoughts and mental
2:05:27imagery represent your blueprint
2:05:30hour by hour Moment by moment you can
2:05:33build radiant Health success and
2:05:35Happiness by the thoughts you think the
2:05:37ideas you Harbor the beliefs that you
2:05:40accept and the scenes that you rehearse
2:05:42in the hidden Studio of your mind
2:05:44this stately Mansion upon the
2:05:47construction of which you are
2:05:48perpetually engaged is your personality
2:05:50your identity in this plane your whole
2:05:53life story on this Earth
2:05:55get a new blueprint build silently by
2:05:58realizing peace Harmony joy and Goodwill
2:06:01in the present moment
2:06:03by dwelling upon these things and
2:06:05claiming them your subconscious will
2:06:07accept your blueprint and bring all
2:06:09these things to pass by their fruits ye
2:06:11shall know them
2:06:13the term science means a body of
2:06:15knowledge that is coordinated arranged
2:06:17and systematized
2:06:19let us think more closely about the
2:06:22science and art of true prayer
2:06:24this body of knowledge deals with the
2:06:26fundamental principles of life
2:06:29it describes techniques and processes by
2:06:31that they can be demonstrated in your
2:06:33life and in the life of any human being
2:06:35who applies them Faithfully
2:06:38the art is your Technique or process and
2:06:41the science behind it is the definite
2:06:42response of creative mind to your mental
2:06:45picture or thought
2:06:46ask and it shall be given you seek and
2:06:49ye shall find knock and it shall be
2:06:52opened unto you
2:06:53Matthew 7 7.
2:06:56what does this celebrated verse tell us
2:06:59it clearly means that you shall receive
2:07:01that for which you ask
2:07:03it shall be open to you when you knock
2:07:05and you shall find that for which you
2:07:07are searching
2:07:08this teaching implies the definiteness
2:07:10of mental and spiritual laws
2:07:13there is always a direct response from
2:07:16the infinite intelligence of your
2:07:17subconscious mind to your conscious
2:07:19thinking
2:07:20if you ask for bread you will not
2:07:22receive a stone
2:07:24you must ask believing if you are to
2:07:27receive
2:07:28your mind moves from the thought to the
2:07:30thing
2:07:31unless there is first an image in the
2:07:33mind it cannot move for there would be
2:07:36nothing for it to move toward
2:07:38your prayer which is your mental act
2:07:40must be accepted as an image in your
2:07:43mind before the power from your
2:07:44subconscious will play upon it and make
2:07:46it productive
2:07:48you must reach a point of Acceptance in
2:07:50your mind an unqualified and Undisputed
2:07:53state of agreement
2:07:55this contemplation should be accompanied
2:07:57by a feeling of joy and restfulness in
2:07:59foreseeing the certain accomplishment of
2:08:01your desire
2:08:03the sound basis for the Art and Science
2:08:05of true prayer is your knowledge and
2:08:07complete confidence that the movement of
2:08:09your conscious mind will gain a definite
2:08:11response from your subconscious mind
2:08:13which has boundless wisdom and infinite
2:08:15power
2:08:16by following this procedure your prayers
2:08:18will be answered
2:08:20the easiest and most obvious way to
2:08:23formulate an idea is to visualize it to
2:08:25see it in your mind's eye as vividly as
2:08:28if it were alive
2:08:29you can see with the naked eye only what
2:08:32already exists in the external world
2:08:35in a similar way that which you can
2:08:37visualize in your minds I already exists
2:08:39in The Invisible Realms of your mind
2:08:42any picture which you have in your mind
2:08:44is the substance of things hoped for and
2:08:47the evidence of Things Not Seen
2:08:49what you form in your imagination is as
2:08:52real as any part of your body
2:08:54the idea and the thought are real and
2:08:56will one day appear in your objective
2:08:58world if you are faithful to your mental
2:09:01image
2:09:02this process of thinking forms
2:09:04impressions in your mind
2:09:06these impressions in turn become
2:09:08manifested as facts and experiences in
2:09:11your life
2:09:12Architects visualize the type of
2:09:14building they want
2:09:16they see it as they desire it to be when
2:09:18completed
2:09:20their imagery and thought processes
2:09:22become a plastic mold from which the
2:09:24building will emerge
2:09:26it may be beautiful or ugly a skyscraper
2:09:29or a one-story Shack but it begins as a
2:09:32visualization
2:09:33the architect's mental imagery is
2:09:36projected as it is drawn on paper
2:09:38eventually the contractor and
2:09:41construction workers gather the
2:09:42essential materials and the building
2:09:44progresses until it stands finished
2:09:46conforming perfectly to the mental
2:09:48patterns of the architect
2:09:51I use the visualization technique before
2:09:53I speak to an audience
2:09:55I quiet wheels of my mind in order that
2:09:58I may present to the subconscious mind
2:10:00my images of thought
2:10:02then I picture the entire Auditorium
2:10:05its seats are filled with men and women
2:10:07who are all illumined and inspired by
2:10:09the infinite healing presence within
2:10:11each one
2:10:12I see them as radiant happy and free
2:10:16having first built up the idea in my
2:10:19imagination I quietly sustain it there
2:10:21as a mental picture while I imagine I
2:10:23hear men and women saying I am healed I
2:10:26feel wonderful I am transformed
2:10:29I keep this up for about 10 minutes or
2:10:31more knowing and feeling that each
2:10:34person's mind and body are saturated
2:10:36with love wholeness Beauty and
2:10:39perfection
2:10:40my awareness grows to the point where in
2:10:42my mind I can hear the voices of the
2:10:44multitude proclaiming their health and
2:10:46happiness
2:10:47then I released the whole picture and go
2:10:49on to the platform
2:10:51almost every time I speak having used
2:10:54this technique some people stop by
2:10:56afterward to tell me their prayers were
2:10:58answered
2:10:59as the old saying proclaims a picture is
2:11:02worth a thousand words
2:11:04the fact must be stressed that the
2:11:06subconscious mind will bring to pass any
2:11:08picture held in the mind and backed by
2:11:10faith
2:11:12act as though I am and I will be
2:11:15a number of years ago I was in the
2:11:17midwest on a lecture tour that took me
2:11:19to several States
2:11:21I wanted to have a permanent base in the
2:11:23area so that I could serve those who
2:11:25needed my help
2:11:26my travels carried me far away but I did
2:11:30not forget the idea of a permanent base
2:11:33one evening while in a hotel in Spokane
2:11:35Washington I relaxed on a couch in my
2:11:38hotel room
2:11:40I immobilized my attention
2:11:42in a quiet passive manner I imagine that
2:11:45I was talking to a large audience
2:11:48I said to those listening I am glad to
2:11:51be here I have prayed for the ideal
2:11:53opportunity
2:11:54I saw that imaginary audience in my
2:11:57mind's eye and I felt the reality of it
2:11:59all
2:12:00I played the role of the actor and
2:12:02dramatized this mental movie
2:12:05I felt satisfied that this picture was
2:12:07being conveyed to my subconscious mind
2:12:09which would bring it to pass in its own
2:12:11way
2:12:12the next morning on awakening I felt a
2:12:15great sense of peace and satisfaction
2:12:18a few days later I received a call from
2:12:21an organization in the midwest asking me
2:12:23to take over as director
2:12:26I did so and enjoyed several years of
2:12:29deeply fulfilling work there
2:12:31the method I have just described is
2:12:33often referred to as the mental movie
2:12:35method
2:12:37I have received a greater many letters
2:12:39from people who have read my books or
2:12:41heard me speak telling me of the
2:12:43wonderful results they get using this
2:12:45technique
2:12:46an area in which the mental movie method
2:12:49seems especially useful is in selling
2:12:51property
2:12:52if you have a home or property for sale
2:12:54I suggest that you first satisfy
2:12:57yourself in your own mind that their
2:12:59price is right and fair to both you and
2:13:01the eventual buyer
2:13:03after having done this quiet your mind
2:13:05relax let go and get into a drowsy
2:13:09sleepy state that reduces all mental
2:13:11effort to a minimum
2:13:13now picture the check in your hands
2:13:15rejoice in the check give thanks for the
2:13:18check and go off to sleep feeling the
2:13:20naturalness of the whole mental movie
2:13:22created in your mind
2:13:24you must act as if this is already an
2:13:26objective reality
2:13:28when you do so the subconscious mind
2:13:30will take it as an impression
2:13:33then the infinite intelligence will draw
2:13:35to you the buyer who really wants to
2:13:37have the property and who will love it
2:13:39and prosper with it
2:13:41through the deeper currents of the Mind
2:13:43the buyer and the seller are brought
2:13:45together
2:13:46a mental picture held in the mind backed
2:13:49by faith will come to pass
2:13:52Charles Bodwin was a professor at the
2:13:54Russo Institute in France
2:13:56he was brilliant psychotherapist and a
2:13:59research director of the new Nancy
2:14:01School of Healing
2:14:02he discovered that the best way to
2:14:04impress the subconscious mind is to
2:14:06enter into a drowsy sleepy state or a
2:14:09state akin to sleep in which all effort
2:14:12was reduced to a minimum
2:14:14then the idea can be conveyed to
2:14:16subconscious in a quiet passive
2:14:18receptive Way by reflection
2:14:21as Bodwin explained
2:14:24a very simple way of securing this
2:14:26impregnation of the subconscious mind is
2:14:29to condense the idea which is to be the
2:14:31object of suggestion to sum it up in a
2:14:34brief phrase which can be readily Graven
2:14:36on the memory and to repeat it over and
2:14:38over again as a lullaby
2:14:40a few years ago a young lady in Los
2:14:43Angeles found herself caught up in a
2:14:45prolonged bitter family dispute
2:14:48her late husband had left his entire
2:14:50estate to her but his sons and daughters
2:14:52from a previous marriage had filed suit
2:14:54to break the will
2:14:56her offers for a settlement were spurned
2:14:59when she asked me for my help I
2:15:01explained the Bodwin technique to her
2:15:04I urged her to condense the idea of her
2:15:07need into a phrase of a few words that
2:15:09could be easily impressed on her memory
2:15:12the phrase she found was it is finished
2:15:14in divine order
2:15:16to her these words meant that infinite
2:15:19intelligence operating through the laws
2:15:21of her subconscious mind would bring
2:15:23about a harmonious conclusion through
2:15:25the principle of Harmony
2:15:27every night for 10 nights she sat in an
2:15:29armchair systematically relaxed her body
2:15:32and entered into the Sleepy state
2:15:35once in a sleepy State she affirmed
2:15:38slowly quietly and feeling leaked the
2:15:40statement it is finished in divine order
2:15:43over and over again
2:15:45she found herself achieving a sense of
2:15:47inner peace and in all pervading
2:15:49Tranquility then she went off into her
2:15:51deep normal sleep
2:15:53on the morning of the 11th day she woke
2:15:56up with a sense of well-being a
2:15:58conviction that it was finished
2:16:00her attorney called her that same day
2:16:03the opposing attorney and his clients
2:16:06were willing to settle
2:16:07a harmonious agreement was reached and
2:16:10lawsuit was dropped
2:16:12when you enter into a sleepy drowsy
2:16:15State effort is reduced to a minimum
2:16:17the conscious mind is submerged to a
2:16:20great extent when in a sleepy state
2:16:23the reason for this is that the highest
2:16:25degree of outcropping of the
2:16:26subconscious occurs prior to sleep and
2:16:29just after we awaken
2:16:30in this state the negative thoughts
2:16:32which tend to neutralize your desire and
2:16:35so prevent acceptance by your
2:16:36subconscious mind are no longer present
2:16:40suppose you want to get rid of a
2:16:42destructive habit
2:16:43assume a comfortable posture relax your
2:16:46body and be still
2:16:48get into a sleepy State and in that
2:16:51sleepy State say quietly over and over
2:16:54again as a lullaby I am completely free
2:16:57from this habit Harmony and peace of
2:16:59mind Reigns Supreme
2:17:01repeat these words slowly quietly and
2:17:04lovingly for five or ten minutes night
2:17:06and morning
2:17:08each time you repeat the words the
2:17:10emotional value becomes greater
2:17:12when the urge comes to repeat the
2:17:14negative habit repeat the above formula
2:17:17Out Loud by yourself
2:17:19by this means you induce the
2:17:21subconscious to accept the idea and the
2:17:24healing follows
2:17:25in the Bible Paul recommends that we
2:17:28make known our requests with praise and
2:17:30thanksgiving
2:17:31some extraordinary results follow this
2:17:34simple method of Prayer
2:17:36the thankful heart is always close to
2:17:38the creative forces of the universe
2:17:40causing countless blessings to flow
2:17:42toward it by the law of reciprocal
2:17:44relationship based on a cosmic law of
2:17:46action and reaction
2:17:48recently a young mother told me of her
2:17:51experience with this technique
2:17:53she said I was out of work and broke
2:17:56with three small children to feed and
2:17:58clothe
2:17:59I didn't know where to turn
2:18:02then I had you explain that we should be
2:18:04thankful even before our prayers are
2:18:06answered
2:18:07I.T was as if a light had gone on in my
2:18:09mind
2:18:11I knew I had to try it
2:18:13every night and morning for about three
2:18:15weeks he repeated this woman repeated
2:18:18the words thank you Father for my wealth
2:18:22she did this in a relaxed peaceful
2:18:24Manner and continued until the feeling
2:18:26or mood of thankfulness dominated her
2:18:28mind
2:18:30she imagined she was addressing the
2:18:32infinite power and intelligence within
2:18:34though she knew of course that she could
2:18:37not see the creative intelligence or
2:18:39infinite mind
2:18:41she was seeing with the inner eye of
2:18:42spiritual perception realizing that her
2:18:45thought image of wealth was the first
2:18:47cause relative to the money position and
2:18:50food she needed
2:18:51her thought feeling was the substance of
2:18:53wealth untrammeled by antecedent
2:18:55conditions of any kind
2:18:58by repeating thank you Father over and
2:19:01over again his mind and heart were
2:19:03lifted up to the point of acceptance
2:19:06when thoughts of lack poverty and
2:19:08distress came into her mind she would
2:19:11say thank you Father as often as
2:19:13necessary
2:19:15she knew that as she kept up the
2:19:17thankful attitude she would recondition
2:19:19her mind to the idea of wealth
2:19:22this is exactly what happened
2:19:24this Mother's Prayer had an interesting
2:19:26sequel
2:19:28shortly after she began to pray in the
2:19:30way just described above mentioned
2:19:32manner she met a former employer on the
2:19:34street whom she had not seen in five
2:19:36years
2:19:37the former employer offered her a very
2:19:40responsible well-paid position
2:19:42he even Advanced her a temporary loan to
2:19:45tide her over until her first paycheck
2:19:48as she said to me I'll never forget the
2:19:51amazing power of thank you Father
2:19:54it has worked wonders for me
2:19:56the effectiveness of an affirmation is
2:19:59determined largely by your understanding
2:20:01of the truth and the meaning that
2:20:02underlie the words in praying use not
2:20:05vain repetition
2:20:07the power of your affirmation lies in
2:20:09the intelligent application of definite
2:20:11and specific positives
2:20:13suppose a school child adds three and
2:20:16three and puts down seven on the
2:20:18Blackboard
2:20:19the teacher affirms with mathematical
2:20:21certainty that three and three are six
2:20:23therefore the child changes the figures
2:20:26accordingly
2:20:28the teacher's statement did not make
2:20:30three and three equal six
2:20:33this was already a mathematical truth
2:20:35that in turn caused the child to
2:20:37rearrange the figures on the Blackboard
2:20:40it is abnormal to be sick it is normal
2:20:43to be healthy
2:20:44health is the truth of your being
2:20:47when you affirm Health Harmony and peace
2:20:50for yourself or another and when you
2:20:52realize these are Universal principles
2:20:54of your own being you will rearrange the
2:20:56negative patterns of your subconscious
2:20:58mind based on your faith and
2:20:59understanding of that which you affirm
2:21:02the result of the affirmative process of
2:21:04prayer depends on your conforming to the
2:21:06principles of life regardless of
2:21:08appearances
2:21:10consider for a moment there is a
2:21:12principle of mathematics and none of
2:21:14error
2:21:15there is a principle of truth but none
2:21:17of dishonesty
2:21:19there is a principle of intelligence but
2:21:21none of ignorance
2:21:23there is a principle of Harmony but none
2:21:25of Discord
2:21:27there is a principle of Health but none
2:21:29of disease and there is a principle of
2:21:31abundance but none of poverty
2:21:34I chose to use the affirmative method in
2:21:36my sister who was about to be operated
2:21:38on for the removal of gallstones in a
2:21:40hospital in England
2:21:42Her diagnosis was based on a usual
2:21:45Hospital tests and x-ray procedure
2:21:48she asked me to pray for her
2:21:50I was over 6 000 miles away but this did
2:21:54not disturb me
2:21:55there is no time or space in the mind
2:21:58principle
2:21:59infinite mind or intelligence is present
2:22:02in its entirety at every Point
2:22:04simultaneously
2:22:06several times a day I withdrew all
2:22:08thought from the contemplation of my
2:22:10sister's symptoms and from the corporeal
2:22:12personality altogether
2:22:14calmly I affirmed as follows
2:22:17this prayer is for my sister Catherine
2:22:20she is relaxed and at peace poised
2:22:23balanced Serene and calm
2:22:26the healing intelligence of her
2:22:28subconscious mind that created her body
2:22:30is now transforming every cell nerve
2:22:33tissue muscle and bone of her being
2:22:35according to the perfect pattern of all
2:22:37organs lodged in her subconscious mind
2:22:41silently quietly all distorted thought
2:22:44patterns in her subconscious mind are
2:22:46removed and dissolved and the Vitality
2:22:48wholeness and beauty of the life
2:22:50principle are made manifest in every
2:22:53atom of her being
2:22:54she is now open and receptive to the
2:22:57healing currents that are flowing
2:22:58through her like a river restoring her
2:23:00to perfect health Harmony and peace
2:23:03all distortions and ugly images are now
2:23:06washed away by the infinite ocean of
2:23:08love and peace flowing through her and
2:23:10it is so
2:23:12and at the end of two weeks my sister
2:23:14had an examination
2:23:16her x-rays were negative
2:23:19her doctor admitted that she showed a
2:23:21remarkable healing and called off the
2:23:23surgery
2:23:24to affirm is to state that it is so
2:23:27as you maintain this attitude of Mind as
2:23:30true regardless of all evidence to the
2:23:32contrary you will receive an answer to
2:23:34your prayer
2:23:36your thought can only affirm for Even If
2:23:38you deny something you are actually
2:23:40affirming the presence of what you deny
2:23:43repeating an affirmation knowing what
2:23:45you are saying why you are saying it
2:23:47leads the mind to that State of
2:23:49Consciousness where it accepts that
2:23:51which you state is true
2:23:53keep on affirming the truths of life
2:23:55until you get the subconscious reaction
2:23:57that satisfies
2:23:59this method is just what the word
2:24:01implies
2:24:02it stems from the procedure of Dr
2:24:04Phineas Parkhurst Quimby a Pioneer in
2:24:07mental and spiritual healing who lived
2:24:09and practiced in Belfast Maine over a
2:24:12century ago
2:24:14he was really the father of
2:24:15psychosomatic medicine and the first
2:24:17psychoanalyst
2:24:19he also had a remarkable capacity to
2:24:22diagnose clairvoyantly the cause of the
2:24:24patient's trouble pains and aches
2:24:27in brief the argumentative method has
2:24:30employed so successfully by Quimby
2:24:32consists of spiritual reasoning
2:24:34you convince the patient and yourself
2:24:36that the sickness is due to false belief
2:24:39groundless fears and negative patterns
2:24:41lodged in the subconscious mind
2:24:44you reason it out clearly in your mind
2:24:46and convince your patient that the
2:24:48disease or ailment is due only to a
2:24:50distorted Twisted pattern of thought
2:24:52that has taken form in his body
2:24:55this wrong belief in some external power
2:24:57and external causes has now externalized
2:25:00itself as sickness and can be changed by
2:25:03changing the thought patterns
2:25:05you explain to the sick person that the
2:25:07basis of all healing is a change of
2:25:09belief
2:25:11you also point out that the subconscious
2:25:13mind created the body in all its organs
2:25:15therefore it knows how to heal it can
2:25:18heal it and is doing so now as you speak
2:25:22you argue in the courtroom of your mind
2:25:24that the disease is a shadow of the Mind
2:25:26based on disease soaked morbid thought
2:25:28imagery
2:25:30you continue to build up all the
2:25:32evidence you can muster on behalf of the
2:25:34healing power within which created all
2:25:36the organs in the first place and which
2:25:38has a perfect pattern of every cell
2:25:40nerve and tissue within it
2:25:43then you render a verdict in the
2:25:45courthouse of your mind in favor of
2:25:47yourself and your patient
2:25:49you liberate the sick one by faith and
2:25:52spiritual understanding
2:25:54your mental and spiritual evidence is
2:25:56overwhelming
2:25:58since there is but one mind what you
2:26:01feel is true will is made manifest in
2:26:03the experience of the patient and the
2:26:05healing follows
2:26:06many people throughout the world
2:26:08practice this form of prayer treatment
2:26:10with wonderful results
2:26:12the person using the absolute method
2:26:15mentions the name of the patient
2:26:17then she silently thinks of God in his
2:26:20qualities and attributes such God is all
2:26:22Bliss boundless love Infinite
2:26:25intelligence all-powerful boundless
2:26:27wisdom absolute Harmony Indescribable
2:26:30Beauty and perfection
2:26:32as she quietly thinks along these lines
2:26:35her Consciousness is lifted into a new
2:26:37spiritual dimension
2:26:39she feels the infinite ocean of God's
2:26:41love is dissolving everything unlike
2:26:43itself in the mind and body of the
2:26:45patient for whom she is praying
2:26:48she feels all the power and love of God
2:26:50are now focused on the patient
2:26:53whatever is bothersome or vexing is now
2:26:55completely neutralized in the presence
2:26:57of the infinite ocean of life and love
2:27:00the absolute method of prayer might be
2:27:03compared to the latest developments in
2:27:05ultrasound therapy
2:27:07these were explained to me recently by a
2:27:09distinguished physician in Los Angeles
2:27:12the device she used in her work
2:27:14generates powerful sound waves at
2:27:16extremely high frequencies
2:27:18when these are focused on areas of the
2:27:21body where there are abnormal tissues
2:27:23the affected cells resonate to the
2:27:25ultrasound and respond to it
2:27:27to the degree that we rise in
2:27:29Consciousness by contemplating qualities
2:27:31and attributes of God do we generate
2:27:34spiritual electronic waves of Harmony
2:27:36Health and peace
2:27:38those on whom these waves are focused
2:27:41then resonate to them and respond
2:27:43many remarkable healings have been
2:27:46achieved by this technique of Prayer
2:27:48Dr Quimby often used the absolute method
2:27:51in the later years of his healing career
2:27:54one of his manuscripts describes how he
2:27:56healed a crippled woman
2:27:58he was called on to visit this woman who
2:28:01was lame aged and better than
2:28:04he states that her ailment was due to
2:28:06the fact that she was imprisoned by a
2:28:08Creed so small and contracted that she
2:28:10could not stand upright and move about
2:28:13she was living in the Tomb of fear and
2:28:15ignorance
2:28:17because she took the Bible literally it
2:28:19frightened her
2:28:20in this tomb Quimby said was the
2:28:23presence and power of God trying to
2:28:25burst the bands break the bands break
2:28:28through the bonds and rise from the dead
2:28:31when the woman would ask others for an
2:28:33explanation of some passage of the Bible
2:28:35the answer would be a stone then she
2:28:38would hunger for the bread of life
2:28:40Dr Quimby diagnosed her case as a mind
2:28:43cloudy and stagnated due to excitation
2:28:45and fear caused by the inability to see
2:28:48clearly the meaning of the passage of
2:28:50the Bible which she had been reading
2:28:52this showed itself in the body by the
2:28:54heavy and sluggish feeling which would
2:28:56terminate as paralysis
2:28:59at this point Quimby asked her what was
2:29:01meant in the Bible verses
2:29:03yet a little while am I with you and
2:29:06then I go unto him that sent me
2:29:08ye shall seek me and shall not find me
2:29:11and where I am either ye cannot come
2:29:14John 7 33-34
2:29:17she replied that it meant Jesus went to
2:29:20heaven
2:29:21Quimby explained what it really meant by
2:29:23telling her that being with her a little
2:29:25while meant his explanation of her
2:29:27symptoms feelings and their causes
2:29:30he had compassion and sympathy for her
2:29:32momentarily but he could not remain in
2:29:35that mental state
2:29:36The Next Step was to go to him that sent
2:29:39us
2:29:40this Quimby pointed out was the creative
2:29:43power of God in all of us
2:29:45Quimby immediately traveled in his mind
2:29:48and contemplated the Divine ideal that
2:29:50is the Vitality intelligence Harmony and
2:29:54power of God functioning in the sick
2:29:56person
2:29:57this is why he said to the woman
2:29:59therefore where I go you cannot come for
2:30:02you are in your narrow restricted belief
2:30:04and I am in health
2:30:06this prayer and explanation produced an
2:30:09instantaneous sensation and a change
2:30:11came over her mind
2:30:13she walked without her crutches
2:30:16Quimby said it was one of the most
2:30:17singular of all his healings
2:30:20she was as it were dead to error and to
2:30:23bring her to Life For Truth was to raise
2:30:25her from the dead
2:30:27Quimby quoted the resurrection of Christ
2:30:29and applied it to her own Christ or
2:30:31health this produced a powerful effect
2:30:34on her
2:30:35he also explained to her that the truth
2:30:37which she accepted was the angel or idea
2:30:40which rolled away the stone of fear
2:30:42ignorance and superstition
2:30:45this then released the healing power of
2:30:47God which made her whole
2:30:49power goes into our word according to
2:30:51the feeling and Faith behind it
2:30:54when we realize the power that moves the
2:30:56world is moving on our behalf and is
2:30:58backing up our word our confidence and
2:31:00Assurance grow
2:31:02you do not try and add power to power
2:31:05there must be no mental striving
2:31:07coercion force or mental wrestling
2:31:11a young girl used the decree method on a
2:31:14young man who was constantly phoning her
2:31:16pressing her for dates
2:31:18she found it very difficult to get rid
2:31:20of him
2:31:21when he began to show up at her
2:31:23workplace she realized that she had to
2:31:26do something drastic at once
2:31:28several times a day she put herself into
2:31:31a quiet State and repeatedly decreed as
2:31:34follows
2:31:35I released Jr unto God
2:31:38he is in his true place at all times
2:31:41I am free and he is free
2:31:44I now decree that my words go forth into
2:31:47Infinite mind and it brings it to Paw
2:31:50it is so
2:31:52according to her the young man
2:31:54immediately disappeared from her life
2:31:57she has never seen him since
2:31:59she says it was as though the ground
2:32:02swallowed him up
2:32:03thou shall decree a thing and it shall
2:32:06be established unto thee and the light
2:32:08shall shine upon thy ways

2:32:15chapter 7.
2:32:17the tendency of the subconscious is life
2:32:19Ward
2:32:20over 90 percent of your mental life is
2:32:23subconscious
2:32:25if you fail to make use of this
2:32:27marvelous power you condemn yourself to
2:32:29live within very narrow limits
2:32:31your subconscious processes are always
2:32:34life Ward and constructive
2:32:36your subconscious is the Builder of your
2:32:39body and maintains all its vital
2:32:41functions
2:32:42it is on the job 24 hours a day and
2:32:45never sleeps
2:32:46it is always trying to help and preserve
2:32:49you from harm
2:32:50your subconscious mind is in touch with
2:32:53infinite life and boundless wisdom and
2:32:55its impulses and ideas are always
2:32:57lifeward
2:32:59the great aspirations Inspirations and
2:33:02Visions for a grander and nobler Life
2:33:04Spring from the subconscious
2:33:07your profoundest convictions are those
2:33:09you cannot argue about rationally
2:33:11because they do not come from your
2:33:13conscious mind they come from your
2:33:14subconscious mind
2:33:16your subconscious speaks to you in
2:33:18intuitions impulses hunches intimations
2:33:22urges and ideas
2:33:24it is always telling you to rise
2:33:27transcend grow Advance adventure and
2:33:30move forward to greater Heights
2:33:33the urge to love to save the lives of
2:33:35others comes from the depths of your
2:33:37subconscious
2:33:39for example during the Great San
2:33:41Francisco earthquake and fire of April
2:33:4318 1906 invalids and handicapped people
2:33:47who have been confined to bed for long
2:33:49periods of time rose up and performed
2:33:51amazing feats of bravery and endurance
2:33:54the intense desire welled up within them
2:33:57to save others at all costs and their
2:33:59subconscious responded accordingly
2:34:02great artists musicians poets speakers
2:34:05and writers tune in with their
2:34:07subconscious powers and become animated
2:34:09and inspired
2:34:11for example Robert Louis Stevenson
2:34:14before he went to sleep used to charge
2:34:16his subconscious with the task of
2:34:18evolving stories for him while he slept
2:34:21he was accustomed to ask his
2:34:23subconscious to give him a good
2:34:24marketable thriller whenever his bank
2:34:26account was low
2:34:28Stevenson said the intelligence of his
2:34:31deeper mind gave him the story piece by
2:34:33piece like a cereal this shows how your
2:34:35subconscious will speak lofty and wise
2:34:38sayings to you which your conscious mind
2:34:40knows nothing about
2:34:41Mark Twain confided to the World on many
2:34:44occasions that he never worked in his
2:34:46life
2:34:47all his humor and all his great writings
2:34:50were the result of his ability to tap
2:34:52the inexhaustible reservoir of his
2:34:54subconscious mind
2:34:55the interaction of your conscious and
2:34:58subconscious mind requires a similar
2:35:00interaction between the corresponding
2:35:02systems of nerves
2:35:04the cerebrospinal or voluntary system is
2:35:07the organ of the conscious mind
2:35:09the autonomous system is the organ of
2:35:12the subconscious mind
2:35:13the voluntary nervous system is the
2:35:16channel through which you receive
2:35:17conscious perception by means of your
2:35:19five physical senses and exercise
2:35:21voluntary control over the movement of
2:35:23your body
2:35:25this system has its control center in
2:35:27the cerebral cortex of the brain
2:35:30the autonomic nervous system sometimes
2:35:32referred to as the involuntary nervous
2:35:35system has its centers of activity in
2:35:37other parts of the brain including the
2:35:39cerebellum the brain stem and the
2:35:41amygdala
2:35:43these organs have their own connections
2:35:45to the major systems of the body and
2:35:47support their vital functions even when
2:35:49conscious awareness is absent
2:35:51the two systems may work separately or
2:35:54synchronously
2:35:56for example when a perception of danger
2:35:58arrives at the switching Center in the
2:36:00cerebellum messages are sent both to the
2:36:03conscious cortex and to the subconscious
2:36:05amygdala
2:36:06the person's defensive abilities may
2:36:09start to respond to the danger even
2:36:10before the danger is consciously noticed
2:36:13and evaluated
2:36:14a simple way of looking at the mental
2:36:17and physical interaction is to realize
2:36:19that your conscious mind grasps an idea
2:36:21that is parallel to a corresponding
2:36:23series of electrical impulses in your
2:36:25voluntary system of nerves
2:36:28this in turn causes a similar current to
2:36:31be generated in your involuntary system
2:36:33of nerves thus handing the idea over to
2:36:36your subconscious mind which is the
2:36:38creative medium
2:36:39this is how your thoughts become things
2:36:42every thought entertained by your
2:36:44conscious mind and accepted as true is
2:36:46sent by your cortex to the other organs
2:36:48of the brain that support your
2:36:50subconscious mind to be made into your
2:36:52flesh and to be brought forth into your
2:36:54world as a reality
2:36:56when you study the cellular system and
2:36:58the structure of the organs such as Eyes
2:37:01Ears heart liver bladder and so on you
2:37:05discover that they consist of groups of
2:37:07cells which form a group intelligence
2:37:09that allows them to function together
2:37:11they are able to take orders and carry
2:37:14them out in deductive function at the
2:37:15suggestion of The Mastermind conscious
2:37:18mind
2:37:19a careful study of the single-celled
2:37:21organism shows you what goes on in your
2:37:23complex body
2:37:25though the monocellular organism has no
2:37:27organs it still gives evidence of Mind
2:37:30action and reaction performing the basic
2:37:32functions of movement Ali mantacion
2:37:35assimilation and elimination
2:37:37many say there is an intelligence which
2:37:40will take care of your body if you let
2:37:42it alone
2:37:43that is true in a sense
2:37:45the difficulty is that the conscious
2:37:48mind always interferes with its sense
2:37:50evidence based on outer appearances
2:37:53these lead to the sway of false beliefs
2:37:55fears and mere opinion
2:37:58when fear false beliefs and negative
2:38:00patterns are made to register in your
2:38:03subconscious mind through psychological
2:38:05emotional conditioning there is no other
2:38:07course open to the subconscious mind
2:38:09except to act on the blueprint
2:38:11specifications offer it
2:38:13the subjective self within you Works
2:38:16continuously for the general good
2:38:17reflecting an innate principle of
2:38:19Harmony behind all things
2:38:22your subconscious mind has its own will
2:38:24and it is very real in itself
2:38:27it functions night and day whether you
2:38:29will it or not
2:38:31it is the Builder of your body but you
2:38:33cannot see hear or feel it building
2:38:37all this is a silent process
2:38:40your subconscious has a life of its own
2:38:42that is always moving toward Harmony
2:38:44Health and peace
2:38:46this is the Divine Norm within its
2:38:48seeking expression through you at all
2:38:50times
2:38:51to think correctly scientifically we
2:38:54must know the truth
2:38:56as the ancient saying puts it ye shall
2:38:59know the truth and the truth shall set
2:39:01you free
2:39:02to know the truth is to be in harmony
2:39:04with the infinite intelligence and power
2:39:06of your subconscious mind which is
2:39:08always moving life forward
2:39:10every thought or action that is not
2:39:12harmonious whether through ignorance or
2:39:15design will result in Discord and
2:39:17limitation of all kinds
2:39:20scientists inform us that you build a
2:39:22new body every 11 months so from a
2:39:25physical standpoint you are really only
2:39:2611 months old
2:39:28if you build defects back into your body
2:39:31by thoughts of fear anger jealousy and
2:39:34ill will you have no one to blame but
2:39:36yourself
2:39:38you are the sum total of your own
2:39:40thoughts
2:39:41you can keep from entertaining negative
2:39:43thought and imagery
2:39:45the way to get rid of darkness is with
2:39:47light the way to overcome cold is with
2:39:50heat the way to overcome the negative
2:39:52thought is to substitute the good
2:39:54thought affirm the good and the bad will
2:39:56vanish
2:39:57the average child born into the world is
2:40:00perfectly healthy with all its organs
2:40:02functioning perfectly
2:40:04this is the normal State and we should
2:40:06remain healthy vital and strong
2:40:09the Instinct of self-preservation is the
2:40:12strongest Instinct of your nature and it
2:40:14constitutes a most potent ever-present
2:40:16and constantly operative truth inherent
2:40:19in your nature
2:40:20all your thoughts ideas and beliefs must
2:40:24operate with greater potentiality when
2:40:26they are in harmony with the innate life
2:40:27principle in you which is forever
2:40:29seeking to preserve and protect you
2:40:31along all lines
2:40:33it follows from this that normal
2:40:35conditions can be restored with greater
2:40:37ease and certainty than abnormal
2:40:39conditions can be induced
2:40:41it is abnormal to be sick
2:40:44the condition of sickness simply means
2:40:46you're going against the stream of life
2:40:48and thinking negatively
2:40:50the law of life is the law of growth all
2:40:53nature testifies to the operation of
2:40:55this law by silently constantly
2:40:57expressing itself in growth
2:41:00where there is growth in expression
2:41:02there must be life where there is life
2:41:04there must be Harmony and where there is
2:41:06harmony there is perfect health
2:41:09if your thought is in harmony with the
2:41:11creative principle of your subconscious
2:41:13mind you are in tune with the innate
2:41:15principle of Harmony
2:41:17if you entertain thoughts that are not
2:41:19in accordance with the principle of
2:41:21Harmony these thoughts cling to you
2:41:23harass you worry you and finally bring
2:41:26about disease and if persisted in
2:41:28possibly death
2:41:30in the healing of disease you must
2:41:32increase the inflow and distribution of
2:41:34the vital forces of your subconscious
2:41:36mind throughout your system
2:41:39this can be done by eliminating thoughts
2:41:41of fear worry anxiety jealousy hatred
2:41:45and every other destructive thought
2:41:48these tend to tear down and destroy your
2:41:50nerves and glands body tissue which
2:41:52controls the elimination of all waste
2:41:54material and keeps the organism in a
2:41:56state of purity
2:41:58POTS disease or tuberculosis of the
2:42:01spine used to be a terrible scourge of
2:42:03children
2:42:04one child who contracted it was named
2:42:07Frederick Elias Andrews of Indianapolis
2:42:09Indiana
2:42:11the disease made him a twisted
2:42:13who could not walk and had to go on his
2:42:15hands and knees
2:42:17his physician pronounced him incurable
2:42:20Andrews refused to accept that verdict
2:42:24he began to pray
2:42:26he created his own affirmation repeating
2:42:29it many times a day and mentally
2:42:30absorbing the qualities he needed
2:42:33I am whole perfect strong powerful
2:42:36loving harmonious and happy
2:42:40he made this prayer the last utterance
2:42:42on his lips at night and the first in
2:42:44the morning
2:42:45he prayed for others as well sending out
2:42:48thoughts of love and health
2:42:50this attitude of mind and way of prayer
2:42:52returned to him multiplied many times
2:42:55his faith and perseverance paid off with
2:42:58big dividends
2:43:00when thoughts of fear anger jealousy or
2:43:03Envy drew his attention he would
2:43:05immediately start his counteracting
2:43:07force of affirmation going in his mind
2:43:10his subconscious mind responded
2:43:12according to the nature of his habitual
2:43:14thinking
2:43:15he became a strong well-formed man
2:43:18this is the meaning of the statement in
2:43:20the Bible
2:43:21go thy way thy faith hath made thee
2:43:24whole
2:43:25Mark 10 52
2:43:27a young man who came to my lectures on
2:43:30the healing power of the subconscious
2:43:32mind had severe eye trouble
2:43:34his ophthalmologist told him he would
2:43:36have to have a delicate risky operation
2:43:39after learning about the scientific
2:43:41basis of prayer the young man said to
2:43:43himself my subconscious made my eyes and
2:43:47it can heal me
2:43:48each night as he went to sleep he
2:43:51entered into a drowsy meditative state
2:43:53that conditioned akin to sleep
2:43:56his attention was immobilized and
2:43:58focused on the eye doctor
2:44:00he imagined the doctor was in front of
2:44:02him and he plainly heard or imagined he
2:44:05heard the doctor saying to him a miracle
2:44:07has happened
2:44:09he heard this over and over again every
2:44:11night for five minutes or so before
2:44:13going to sleep
2:44:15three weeks later he had another
2:44:17appointment with the ophthalmologist who
2:44:19had examined his eyes
2:44:21The Physician examined him again then
2:44:24exclaimed this is a miracle
2:44:26what had happened
2:44:28this man impressed his subconscious mind
2:44:31using the eye doctor as an instrument or
2:44:33means of convincing it and conveying the
2:44:35idea
2:44:37through repetition faith and expectancy
2:44:40he impregnated his subconscious mind
2:44:43his subconscious mind had made his eye
2:44:46it held within it the perfect pattern or
2:44:48blueprint of the eyes normal healthy
2:44:51structure
2:44:52once impregnated with the idea of
2:44:54restoring the eye to its healthy state
2:44:56it immediately proceeded to heal the eye
2:44:59this is another example of how faith in
2:45:02the healing power of your subconscious
2:45:04can make you whole
2:45:07chapter 8.
2:45:09how to get the results you want
2:45:12not all prayers are answered
2:45:14everyone knows that
2:45:17Skeptics see this as evidence that
2:45:19prayer does not work
2:45:21what they Overlook is that for prayer to
2:45:23work it must be used effectively with a
2:45:25clear understanding of its scientific
2:45:27basis
2:45:29only then can we know why a particular
2:45:31prayer was not effective and arrive at a
2:45:34practical method to make it more
2:45:35effective
2:45:36what if you find your prayers are not
2:45:39answered as would like
2:45:40what then
2:45:42you must understand the principal
2:45:44reasons for such a failure
2:45:46these are lack of confidence and too
2:45:49much effort
2:45:50many people block answers to their
2:45:52prayers by failing to fully comprehend
2:45:54the workings of their subconscious mind
2:45:57when you know how your mind functions
2:45:59you gain a measure of confidence
2:46:02you must remember that whenever your
2:46:04subconscious mind accepts an idea it
2:46:07immediately begins to execute it
2:46:09it uses all its Mighty resources to that
2:46:12end
2:46:13it mobilizes all the mental and
2:46:16spiritual laws of your deeper mind
2:46:18this law is true for good ideas but it
2:46:21holds true for bad ideas as well
2:46:24consequently if you use it negatively it
2:46:27brings trouble failure and confusion
2:46:31when you use it constructively it brings
2:46:33guidance freedom and peace of mind
2:46:37the right answer is inevitable when your
2:46:39thoughts are positive constructive and
2:46:41loving
2:46:43from this it is obvious that the only
2:46:45thing you have to do in order to
2:46:46overcome failure is to get your
2:46:48subconscious to accept your idea or
2:46:50request
2:46:51feel its reality now and the law of your
2:46:54mind will do the rest
2:46:56turn over your request with faith and
2:46:58confidence and your subconscious will
2:47:01take over an answer for you
2:47:03anytime you try to force your
2:47:05subconscious mind to do something for
2:47:07you you will fail
2:47:09the results you want will become more
2:47:11distant instead of closer
2:47:13your subconscious mind does not respond
2:47:15to mental coercion
2:47:17it responds to your faith or conscious
2:47:20mind acceptance
2:47:21your failure to get results may also be
2:47:24a consequence of mentally making such
2:47:26statements as
2:47:28things are getting worse
2:47:30I will never get an answer
2:47:32I see no way out
2:47:35it is hopeless
2:47:37I don't know what to do
2:47:39I'm all mixed up
2:47:41when you use such statements you get no
2:47:43response or cooperation from your
2:47:45subconscious mind
2:47:47like a soldier marking time you go
2:47:50neither forward nor backward in other
2:47:52words you don't get anywhere
2:47:55imagine that you got into a taxi and
2:47:57gave the driver a half dozen different
2:47:59directions
2:48:00he would become hopelessly confused
2:48:04he might refuse to take you anywhere
2:48:06even if he tried to follow your
2:48:08instructions chances are he would not be
2:48:10able to
2:48:12where you would end up is anybody's
2:48:14guess
2:48:15it is the same when working with the
2:48:17enormous powers of your subconscious
2:48:19mind
2:48:20you must have a clear-cut idea in your
2:48:22mind
2:48:23you must arrive at the definite decision
2:48:26that there is a way out a solution to
2:48:28the vexing problem in sickness
2:48:31only the infinite intelligence within
2:48:33your subconscious knows the answer
2:48:35when you come to that clear-cut
2:48:37conclusion in your conscious mind your
2:48:40mind is then made up and according to
2:48:42your belief is it done unto you
2:48:44a house owner whose furnace broke down
2:48:47during a bitter cold snap once called a
2:48:49repairman
2:48:50the repairman came at once
2:48:53within half an hour the furnace was
2:48:55working again
2:48:57the repairman then gave the homeowner a
2:48:59bill for two hundred dollars
2:49:02what the outraged homeowner exclaimed
2:49:05it took you no time at all
2:49:08all you did was replace one small part
2:49:11how can you have the nerve to charge me
2:49:13two hundred dollars for a little Gizmo
2:49:15that can't be worth more than five
2:49:17dollars
2:49:18the repairman Shrugged
2:49:20I charged you only two dollars for the
2:49:23broken part he said
2:49:25that's what I had to pay for it
2:49:27the homeowner waived the bill in his
2:49:30face
2:49:31two dollars he yelled
2:49:33this says two hundred dollars
2:49:36that's right the repairman said
2:49:39the other 198 dollars is for knowing
2:49:42what was wrong and how to fix it
2:49:45you subconscious mind is the Master
2:49:47Mechanic the all-wise one
2:49:50it knows the ways and means of healing
2:49:52any organ of your body
2:49:54decree health and your subconscious will
2:49:57establish but relaxation is the key
2:50:00Easy Does It
2:50:02do not let yourself get bogged down in
2:50:04thinking about details and means
2:50:07know what the end result will be
2:50:10get the feel of the happy solution to
2:50:12your problem whether it is Health
2:50:14finances or personal relationships
2:50:17remember how you felt after you had
2:50:19recovered from a serious illness
2:50:22bear in mind that your feeling is the
2:50:24Touchstone of all subconscious
2:50:26demonstration
2:50:28your new idea must be felt subjectively
2:50:30in a finished State felt not as
2:50:32something that may come to pass in the
2:50:34future but as coming that is actually
2:50:36coming to pass at this moment
2:50:39enlisting the powers of your
2:50:40subconscious mind is not like pushing
2:50:43against an obstacle
2:50:44working harder does not lead to better
2:50:47results
2:50:48use no willpower
2:50:50indeed visualize the end in the state of
2:50:53Freedom it produces
2:50:55you will find your intellect trying to
2:50:57get in the way trying to find ways to
2:50:59solve the problem and impose those ways
2:51:01on your subconscious
2:51:03resist this
2:51:05put away your intellectual
2:51:07problem-solving skills
2:51:09persist in maintaining a simple
2:51:11childlike miracle-making faith
2:51:14picture yourself without the ailment or
2:51:17problem
2:51:18imagine the emotional gratification of
2:51:20the freedom State you seek
2:51:22cut out all red tape from the process
2:51:26the simple way is the best
2:51:28a wonderful way to get a response from
2:51:31your subconscious mind is through
2:51:33disciplined or scientific imagination
2:51:36as we have seen the subconscious mind is
2:51:39the architect and builder of the body
2:51:41it controls all its vital functions
2:51:45the Bible says whatsoever ye shall ask
2:51:48in prayer believing he shall receive
2:51:51to believe is to accept something as
2:51:53true to live in the state of being it
2:51:56as you sustain this mood you shall
2:51:59experience the joy of the answered
2:52:00prayer
2:52:02successful prayer requires three basic
2:52:04steps
2:52:062.1 acknowledge or admit the problem
2:52:092.2 turned a problem over to the
2:52:12subconscious mind which alone knows the
2:52:14most effective solution or way out
2:52:172.3 rest with a sense of deep conviction
2:52:20that it is done
2:52:22doubts and hesitations only weaken your
2:52:24prayer
2:52:26do not say to yourself I wish I could be
2:52:28healed or I hope this works
2:52:31you're feeling about the work to be done
2:52:33sets the tone
2:52:35Harmony is yours
2:52:37know that health is yours
2:52:39you become effective by becoming a
2:52:42vehicle for the infinite healing power
2:52:43of the subconscious mind
2:52:46pass on the idea of Health to your
2:52:48subconscious mind with complete
2:52:50conviction then relax
2:52:52give yourself over to its power
2:52:55say to the condition and Circumstance
2:52:57this too shall pass
2:53:01through relaxation and conviction you
2:53:03impregnate your subconscious mind
2:53:06this enables the kinetic energy behind
2:53:08the idea to take over and bring it into
2:53:10concrete realization
2:53:13emilko was a celebrated French
2:53:15psychologist whose lectures gained him
2:53:17many admirers and followers in the
2:53:19United States
2:53:21one of his important Insight was this
2:53:24when your desires and Imagination are in
2:53:27Conflict your imagination invariably
2:53:28gains today
2:53:30he referred to this as the law of
2:53:32reverse effort
2:53:34suppose you were asked to walk along a
2:53:36narrow plank that was resting on the
2:53:38floor
2:53:39you would do it easily without question
2:53:42but now suppose the same plank were
2:53:44placed 20 feet up stretching between two
2:53:47walls
2:53:48would you walk it
2:53:50could you
2:53:51probably not
2:53:53your desire to walk the length of the
2:53:55plank would come into conflict with your
2:53:57imagination
2:53:59you would imagine yourself toppling off
2:54:01the plank and falling a Long Way to the
2:54:03ground
2:54:04you might very much want to walk across
2:54:06the plank but your fear of falling would
2:54:09keep you from being able to do it
2:54:11the more effort you put into conquering
2:54:13your imagination or suppressing it the
2:54:16greater strength is given to the
2:54:17dominant idea of falling
2:54:19the thought I will use my willpower to
2:54:22overcome my failure reinforces the
2:54:24thought of failure
2:54:26mental effort often leads to self-defeat
2:54:29creating the opposite of what is desired
2:54:32to focus on the need to exert willpower
2:54:35is to emphasize the condition of
2:54:37powerlessness
2:54:39it is like deciding that you will do all
2:54:41you can not to think of a green
2:54:42hippopotamus
2:54:44the decision makes the idea of a green
2:54:46hippo dominate the mind and the
2:54:48subconscious always responds more to the
2:54:51dominant idea
2:54:52your subconscious will accept the
2:54:54stronger of two contradictory
2:54:56propositions
2:54:57maybe you find yourself thinking
2:55:00I want a healing why I can't get it
2:55:03I try so hard why don't I get results
2:55:07I must force myself to pray harder
2:55:10I must use all the willpower I have
2:55:13you must realize where your error lies
2:55:17you are trying too hard
2:55:19never try to compel the subconscious
2:55:21mind to accept your idea by exercising
2:55:24willpower
2:55:25such attempts are doomed to failure
2:55:28all too often you get the opposite of
2:55:31what you prayed for
2:55:33the effortless way is better
2:55:35have you ever had something like this
2:55:37happen to you
2:55:39have to take an examination of some kind
2:55:42you have put in a lot of time studying
2:55:44and reviewing the material
2:55:46you feel as if you at well
2:55:49but when you face blank exam page you
2:55:52find that your mind is even more blank
2:55:55all your knowledge of the subject has
2:55:57suddenly deserted you
2:55:59you can't recall a single relevant
2:56:01thought
2:56:02you grit your teeth and summon all the
2:56:04powers of your will but the harder you
2:56:06try the farther the knowledge seemed to
2:56:09flee
2:56:10frustrated you leave the examination
2:56:12room
2:56:13the mental pressure eases
2:56:16suddenly the answers you are hunting for
2:56:18so desperately a few minutes ago float
2:56:20tantalizingly back into your mind
2:56:23you told yourself you knew the material
2:56:25and sure enough you did but not when you
2:56:28needed to
2:56:29the mistake you made was to try to force
2:56:31yourself to remember
2:56:33by the law of reversed effort whereby
2:56:35this led not to success but to failure
2:56:39what you got was the opposite of what
2:56:41you asked or prayed for
2:56:43to use Mental force or willpower is to
2:56:46presuppose that there is opposition
2:56:49but the act of imagining opposition
2:56:51creates opposition
2:56:53if your attention is focused on the
2:56:55obstacles to obtaining your desire it is
2:56:57no longer concentrating on the means to
2:56:59obtain your desire
2:57:01in the Bible it is said
2:57:04if two of you shall agree on Earth as
2:57:06touching anything that they shall ask it
2:57:08shall be done for them of My Father
2:57:10which is in heaven
2:57:12Matt 18 19.
2:57:14who are these two who are spoken of
2:57:17they stand for the harmonious Union or
2:57:20agreement between your conscious and
2:57:21subconscious on any idea desire or
2:57:25mental image
2:57:26when there is no longer any quarrel
2:57:28between the two different parts of your
2:57:30mind your prayer will be answered
2:57:33the two agreeing may also be represented
2:57:35as you and your desire your thought and
2:57:38feeling your idea and emotion your
2:57:40desire and Imagination
2:57:43you avoid all conflict between your
2:57:45desires and Imagination by entering into
2:57:47a drowsy sleepy state that brings all
2:57:50effort to a minimum
2:57:52the conscious mind is submerged to a
2:57:54great extent when in a sleepy state
2:57:57the best time to impregnate your
2:57:59subconscious is just prior to sleep
2:58:02the reason for this is that the highest
2:58:04degree of outcropping of the
2:58:06subconscious occurs just before going to
2:58:08sleep and just after we awaken
2:58:10in this state the negative thoughts and
2:58:12imagery which tend to neutralize your
2:58:14desire and so prevent acceptance by your
2:58:17subconscious mind no longer present
2:58:18themselves
2:58:20when you imagine the reality of the
2:58:22fulfilled desire and feel the thrill of
2:58:24accomplishment your subconscious brings
2:58:26about the realization of your desire
2:58:29a great many people solve all their
2:58:31dilemmas and Problems by the play of
2:58:33their controlled directed and
2:58:35disciplined imagination
2:58:37they know that whatever they imagine and
2:58:39feel is true will and must come to pass
2:58:42a young woman named sharichi came to me
2:58:45close to despair
2:58:47she was involved in a lengthy
2:58:49complicated lawsuit that been through
2:58:51one postponement after another with no
2:58:53end in sight
2:58:55her deepest desire was for a harmonious
2:58:57solution to the suit
2:58:59her mental imagery however was full of
2:59:02failure loss bankruptcy and poverty the
2:59:06result was just as cool would have
2:59:08predicted
2:59:09Her Imagination prevailed over her
2:59:11desire and a suit dragged on and on
2:59:15at my suggestion Shara put herself into
2:59:17a sleepy drowsy State each night at
2:59:20bedtime then began to imagine the best
2:59:22possible ending to her problem
2:59:25she put herself into a state of feeling
2:59:27it to the best of her ability
2:59:29she knew that the image in her mind had
2:59:32to agree with her heart's desire
2:59:34as she became drowsy she began to
2:59:37imagine as vividly as possible a meeting
2:59:39with her lawyer after the lawsuit was
2:59:41settled
2:59:42she heard herself asking him questions
2:59:44about the outcome and listening to his
2:59:47explanations
2:59:48she heard him telling her over and over
2:59:50again the case has been settled out of
2:59:53court
2:59:54this is a perfectly harmonious solution
2:59:57during the day when fear thoughts came
3:00:00into her mind Cheryl would run her
3:00:02mental videotape of the meeting with her
3:00:04lawyer complete with words and gestures
3:00:07she imagined his smile his mannerisms
3:00:10the sound of his voice the specific
3:00:12words he used
3:00:14she did this so often so Faithfully that
3:00:17her Wares were counteracted before she
3:00:19even knew they tried to come into her
3:00:21mind
3:00:22at the end of a few weeks her attorney
3:00:25called her
3:00:26he confirmed what she had been imagining
3:00:28and feeling is true
3:00:30the lawsuit was settled and she knew
3:00:33that the settlement was one she could
3:00:34accept as harmonious
3:00:37this is really what the psalmist meant
3:00:39when he wrote
3:00:40let the words of my mouth your thoughts
3:00:43mental images good and the meditations
3:00:46of my heart your feeling nature emotion
3:00:49be acceptable and I sight O Lord the law
3:00:52of your subconscious mind my strength
3:00:55and my redeemer the power and wisdom of
3:00:57your subconscious mind can redeem you
3:01:00from sickness bondage and misery
3:01:03psalm 1914.
3:01:07chapter 9.
3:01:09how to use the power of your
3:01:11subconscious for wealth
3:01:13if you are having financial difficulties
3:01:15if you are trying to make ends meet it
3:01:18means you have not convinced your
3:01:19subconscious mind that you will always
3:01:21have plenty and some to spare
3:01:23you know men and women who work a few
3:01:26hours a week and make fabulous sums of
3:01:28money
3:01:29they do not strive or slave hard
3:01:32do not believe the story that the only
3:01:34way you can become wealthy is by the
3:01:36sweat of your brow and hard labor
3:01:39it is not so the effortless way of life
3:01:42is the best
3:01:43do the thing you love to do and do it
3:01:46for the joy and thrill of it
3:01:48I know an executive in Los Angeles who
3:01:51receives a six-figure salary
3:01:53last year he went on a nine-month cruise
3:01:55seeing the world and its beauty spots
3:01:58he said to me that he had succeeded in
3:02:01convincing his subconscious mind that he
3:02:03is worth that much money
3:02:05he told me that there are many people in
3:02:07his organization earning about a tenth
3:02:09as much as he does who know more about
3:02:10the business than he does and could
3:02:12manage it better
3:02:14however they had no ambition and no
3:02:16creative ideas
3:02:18they are not interested in the wonders
3:02:20of their subconscious mind
3:02:22wealth is ultimately nothing more than a
3:02:25subconscious conviction on a part of the
3:02:27individual
3:02:28you will not become a millionaire by
3:02:30saying I am a millionaire
3:02:33you will grow into a wealth
3:02:34Consciousness by building into your
3:02:36mentality the idea of wealth and
3:02:38abundance
3:02:40the trouble with most people is that
3:02:42they have no invisible means of support
3:02:45when business Falls away the stock
3:02:47market drops or they lose their
3:02:49Investments they seem helpless
3:02:52the reason for such insecurity is that
3:02:54they do not know how to tap the
3:02:56subconscious mind
3:02:58they are unacquainted with the
3:03:00inexhaustible Storehouse Within
3:03:02someone with a poverty type mind finds
3:03:05himself in poverty stricken conditions
3:03:08someone else with a mind filed with
3:03:10ideas of wealth is surrounded with
3:03:12everything he needs
3:03:14it was never intended that we should
3:03:16lead a life of indigence
3:03:18you can have wealth everything you need
3:03:21and plenty to spare
3:03:23your words have power to cleanse your
3:03:25mind of wrong ideas and to instill right
3:03:27ideas in their place
3:03:29perhaps you are saying as you read this
3:03:31chapter I need wealth and success
3:03:34this is what you do repeat for about
3:03:37five minutes to yourself three or four
3:03:39times a day wealth success
3:03:42these words have tremendous power
3:03:45they represent the inner power of the
3:03:47subconscious mind
3:03:49anchor your mind on this substantial
3:03:51power within you then conditions and
3:03:54circumstances corresponding to their
3:03:56nature and quality will be manifested in
3:03:58your life
3:03:59you are not saying I am wealthy you are
3:04:02dwelling on real Powers within you
3:04:05there is no conflict in the mind when
3:04:07you say wealth
3:04:09furthermore the feeling of wealth will
3:04:12well up within you as you dwell on the
3:04:14idea of wealth
3:04:15the feeling of wealth produces wealth
3:04:18keep this in mind at all times
3:04:21your subconscious mind is like a bank a
3:04:24sort of universal financial institution
3:04:27it magnifies whatever you deposit or
3:04:29impress upon it whether it is the idea
3:04:31of wealth or of poverty
3:04:33choose wealth
3:04:35have talked to many people over the five
3:04:37years whose usual complaint is I have
3:04:40said for weeks and months I am wealthy I
3:04:43am prosperous and nothing has happened
3:04:46I discovered that when they said I am
3:04:48prosperous I am wealthy they felt within
3:04:51that they were lying to themselves
3:04:53one man told me I have affirmed that I
3:04:56am prosperous until I am tired
3:04:59things are now worse
3:05:01I knew when I made the statement that it
3:05:03was obviously not true
3:05:06his statements were rejected by the
3:05:08conscious mind and the Very opposite of
3:05:10what he outwardly affirmed and claimed
3:05:12was made manifest
3:05:14your affirmation succeeds best when it
3:05:17is specific and when it does not produce
3:05:18a mental conflict or argument
3:05:21the statements made by this man made
3:05:23matters worse because they suggested as
3:05:25lack
3:05:27your subconscious accepts what you
3:05:29really feel to be true not just Idle
3:05:31Words or statements
3:05:33the dominant idea or belief is always
3:05:36accepted by the subconscious mind
3:05:39the following is the ideal way to
3:05:41overcome this conflict for those who
3:05:43have this difficulty
3:05:45make this practical statement frequently
3:05:47particularly prior to sleep by day and
3:05:50by night I am being prospered in all of
3:05:52my interests
3:05:54this affirmation will not arouse any
3:05:56argument because it does not contradict
3:05:58your subconscious mind's impression of
3:06:00financial lack
3:06:02I suggested to one businessman whose
3:06:04sales and finances were very low and who
3:06:07was greatly worried that he sit down in
3:06:09his office become quiet and repeat this
3:06:11statement over and over again my sales
3:06:14are improving every day
3:06:16this statement engaged the co-operation
3:06:19of the conscious and subconscious mind
3:06:21and results followed
3:06:23you sign blank checks when you make such
3:06:26statements as there is not enough to go
3:06:28around there is a shortage L will lose
3:06:31the house because of the mortgage and so
3:06:33forth
3:06:34if you are full of fear about the future
3:06:36you are also writing a blank check and
3:06:39attracting negative conditions to you
3:06:42your subconscious mind accepts your fear
3:06:44and negative statement as your request
3:06:46and proceeds in its own way to bring
3:06:48obstacles delays lack and limitation
3:06:51into your life
3:06:53to him that hath the feeling of wealth
3:06:55more wealth shall be added to him that
3:06:58hath the feeling of lack more lack shall
3:07:00be added
3:07:01your subconscious multiplies and
3:07:04magnifies whatever you deposit in it
3:07:06every morning as you awaken deposit
3:07:09thoughts of prosperity success wealth
3:07:12and peace
3:07:13dwell upon these Concepts
3:07:16busy your mind with them as often as
3:07:18possible
3:07:19these constructive thoughts will find
3:07:21their way as deposits in your
3:07:23subconscious mind and bring forth
3:07:25abundance and prosperity
3:07:28I can hear you saying oh I did that and
3:07:31nothing happened
3:07:32you did not get results because you
3:07:34indulged in fewer thoughts perhaps 10
3:07:36minutes later and neutralized the good
3:07:38you had Affirmed
3:07:40when you place a seed in the ground you
3:07:43do not dig it up again later in the day
3:07:45you let it take root and grow
3:07:48suppose for example you are going to say
3:07:51I shall not be able to make that payment
3:07:54before you get further than I shall stop
3:07:57the sentence
3:07:59change it into a constructive statement
3:08:01such as I will be prospered in all my
3:08:04ways
3:08:05your subconscious mind is never short of
3:08:08ideas
3:08:09Bearer within it an infinite number of
3:08:11ideas ready to flow into your conscious
3:08:13mind and appear as cash in your pocket
3:08:15in countless ways
3:08:17this process will continue to go on in
3:08:20your mind regardless of whether the
3:08:22stock market goes up or down or whether
3:08:24the pound sterling or dollar drops in
3:08:26value
3:08:27your wealth is never truly dependent on
3:08:30bonds stocks or money in the bank these
3:08:33are really only symbols necessary and
3:08:36useful of course but only symbols
3:08:39the point I wish to emphasize is that if
3:08:42you convince your subconscious mind that
3:08:44wealth is yours and that it is always
3:08:46circulating in your life you will always
3:08:48and inevitably have it regardless of the
3:08:51form it takes
3:08:52there are people who claim that they are
3:08:54always trying to make ends meet
3:08:57they seem to have a great struggle to
3:08:59meet their obligations
3:09:01Have you listened to their conversation
3:09:03in many instances their conversation
3:09:06runs along this vein
3:09:08they are constantly condemning those who
3:09:10have succeeded in life and who have
3:09:12raised their heads above the crowd
3:09:14perhaps they are saying oh that fellow
3:09:17has a racket he is ruthless he is a
3:09:20crook
3:09:21this is why they lack they are
3:09:23condemning the thing they claim to
3:09:25desire and want the reason they speak
3:09:26critically of their more prosperous
3:09:28Associates is because they are envious
3:09:30and Covetous of the others prosperity
3:09:33the quickest way to cause wealth to take
3:09:35wings and fly away is to criticize and
3:09:38condemn others who have more wealth in
3:09:40you
3:09:41there is one emotion which is the cause
3:09:43of the lack of wealth in the lives of
3:09:45many
3:09:46most people learn this the hard way
3:09:49it is envy
3:09:51for example if you see a competitor
3:09:53depositing large sums of money in the
3:09:55bank and you have only a meager amount
3:09:57to deposit does it make you envious
3:10:00the way to overcome this emotion is to
3:10:03say to yourself isn't it wonderful
3:10:05I rejoice in that man's prosperity
3:10:09I wish for him greater and greater
3:10:11wealth
3:10:12to entertain envious thoughts is
3:10:14devastating because it places you in a
3:10:16negative position
3:10:18therefore wealth flows away from you
3:10:20instead of to you
3:10:22if you are ever annoyed or irritated by
3:10:24the prosperity or great wealth of
3:10:26another claim immediately that you truly
3:10:28wish for him greater wealth in every
3:10:30possible way
3:10:32this will neutralize the negative
3:10:34thoughts in your mind and cause an Ever
3:10:36greater measure of wealth to Flow To You
3:10:38by The Law of your own subconscious mind
3:10:41if you are worried and critical about
3:10:43someone whom you claim is making money
3:10:45dishonestly cease worrying about him
3:10:48if your suspicions are correct you know
3:10:51such a person is using the law of Mind
3:10:53negatively
3:10:54in time the law of mind will take care
3:10:57of him
3:10:58be careful not to criticize him for the
3:11:01reasons previously indicated
3:11:03remember the block or obstacle to wealth
3:11:06is in your own mind
3:11:08you can now destroy that mental block
3:11:11this you may do by getting on mental
3:11:13getting good terms with everyone
3:11:16as you go to sleep at night practice the
3:11:18following technique
3:11:20repeat the word wealth quietly easily
3:11:24and feelingly
3:11:25do this over and over again just like a
3:11:28lullaby
3:11:30lull yourself to sleep with the one word
3:11:32wealth
3:11:33you should be amazed at the result
3:11:36wealth should Flow To You in Avalanches
3:11:39of abundance
3:11:40this is another example of the magic
3:11:42power of your subconscious mind
3:11:47chapter 10.
3:11:49you're right to be rich
3:11:51you have a fundamental right to be rich
3:11:54you are here to lead the Abundant Life
3:11:57and be happy radiant and free
3:12:00you should therefore have all the money
3:12:02you need to lead a full happy and
3:12:05prosperous life
3:12:06you are here to grow expand and unfold
3:12:10spiritually mentally and materially
3:12:13you have the inalienable right to fully
3:12:15develop and express yourself in all your
3:12:18potentials
3:12:19an important aspect of that is the
3:12:21ability should you so choose to surround
3:12:24with beauty and luxury
3:12:26why be satisfied with just enough to go
3:12:29around when you can enjoy the riches of
3:12:31your subconscious mind
3:12:32in this chapter you will learn to make
3:12:34friends with money
3:12:36once you do you will always have all you
3:12:39need and more
3:12:40don't let anyone make you feel doubtful
3:12:42or ashamed of your desire to be rich
3:12:45at its deepest level it is a desire for
3:12:48a fuller happier more Wonderful Life
3:12:52it is a cosmic urge
3:12:54it is not only good but very good
3:12:57money is a symbol of Exchange
3:13:00to you it is a symbol not only of
3:13:02Freedom from Want but of beauty
3:13:04refinement abundance and luxury
3:13:08it is also a symbol of the economic
3:13:10health of the nation
3:13:12when your blood is circulating freely in
3:13:15your body you are healthy
3:13:17when money is circulating freely in your
3:13:19life you are economically healthy
3:13:22when people begin to hoard money to put
3:13:25it away in tin boxes and become charged
3:13:28with fear they become economically ill
3:13:31as a symbol money has taken many forms
3:13:34throughout the centuries
3:13:36almost anything you think of has served
3:13:38as money at some time and place in
3:13:40history gold and silver of course but
3:13:43also salt beads and trinkets of various
3:13:45kinds
3:13:47in Early Times people's wealth was often
3:13:49determined by the number of sheep and
3:13:51oxen they owned
3:13:53now we use currency and other negotiable
3:13:56instruments
3:13:57one reason is obvious
3:14:00it is much more convenient to write a
3:14:02check than to carry some sheep around
3:14:04with you to pay bills
3:14:06once you understand the powers of your
3:14:08subconscious mind you have within your
3:14:10grasp a road map to the Royal is the
3:14:12means to the royal road to riches of all
3:14:15kinds spiritual mental or financial
3:14:19anyone who has taken the trouble to
3:14:21learn the laws of Mind beliefs and knows
3:14:23definitely she will never want
3:14:25regardless of economic crises situations
3:14:28stock market fluctuations recessions
3:14:32strikes Galloping inflation or even War
3:14:35she will always be amply supplied
3:14:38the reason for this is that she has
3:14:40conveyed the idea of wealth to her
3:14:42subconscious mind
3:14:44as a result it keeps her supplied
3:14:46wherever she may be
3:14:48she has convinced herself in her mind
3:14:51that money is forever flowing freely in
3:14:53her life and that there is always a
3:14:55wonderful Surplus available to her
3:14:57as she decrees it so it is
3:15:01should there be a financial collapse of
3:15:03government tomorrow and everything she
3:15:04possesses becomes worthless she will
3:15:07still attract wealth
3:15:09she will come through the crisis
3:15:10comfortably and likely even gain
3:15:12Advantage from it
3:15:14as you read this chapter you may be
3:15:16thinking I deserve a bigger income than
3:15:18I have
3:15:20in my opinion that is true of most
3:15:22people
3:15:24they really do deserve to have more but
3:15:26they are not likely to get it
3:15:28one of the most important reasons these
3:15:31people do not have more money is that
3:15:33they silently or openly condemn it
3:15:35they refer to money as filthy looker
3:15:39they tell their children and friends
3:15:40that the love of money is the root of
3:15:43all evil
3:15:44coupled with this as a reason they do
3:15:46not Prosper is that they have a sneaky
3:15:48subconscious feeling there is some
3:15:50special virtue in poverty
3:15:53this subconscious pattern may be due to
3:15:55Early Childhood training or it may be
3:15:57based on a false interpretation of
3:15:59scriptures
3:16:01one time a man came up to me and said I
3:16:04am broke
3:16:05but that's all right
3:16:07I do not like money
3:16:09it is the root of all evil
3:16:12these statements represent the thinking
3:16:14of a confused neurotic mind love of
3:16:16money to the exclusion of everything
3:16:18else will cause you to become lopsided
3:16:20and unbalanced
3:16:22you are here to use your power or
3:16:24authority wisely
3:16:26some men crave power others crave money
3:16:30if you set your heart on money
3:16:32exclusively and say money is all I want
3:16:35I am going to give all my attention to
3:16:37amassing money nothing else matters you
3:16:40can get money and gain a fortune but at
3:16:42what cost
3:16:43you have forgotten that you are here to
3:16:45lead a balanced life
3:16:47you must also satisfy the hunger for
3:16:50Peace of Mind Harmony love joy and
3:16:53perfect health
3:16:55by making money your sole aim you simply
3:16:57made a wrong choice
3:16:59you thought that was all you wanted but
3:17:02you found after all your efforts that it
3:17:04was not only the money you needed
3:17:06no one on his deathbed wished he had
3:17:08spent more time making money
3:17:11you also desire true expression of your
3:17:13hidden talents true place in life Beauty
3:17:16and the joy of contributing to the
3:17:18welfare and success of others
3:17:20by learning the laws of your
3:17:22subconscious mind you could have a
3:17:24million dollars or many millions if you
3:17:26wanted them and still have peace of mind
3:17:28Harmony perfect health and perfect
3:17:31expression
3:17:33there is no virtue in poverty it is a
3:17:35disease like any other mental disease
3:17:38if you are physically ill you would
3:17:40realize there was something wrong with
3:17:42you
3:17:43you would seek help and try to cure the
3:17:45condition at once
3:17:47in the same way if you do not have
3:17:49enough money constantly circulating in
3:17:51your life there is something radically
3:17:53wrong with you
3:17:55the urge of the life principle in you is
3:17:57toward growth expansion and the life
3:18:00more abundant
3:18:01you are not here to live in a hovel
3:18:03dress in rags and go hungry
3:18:06you should be happy prosperous and
3:18:09successful
3:18:10cleanse your mind of all weird and
3:18:12superstitious beliefs about money
3:18:15do not ever regard money as evil or
3:18:17filthy
3:18:19if you do you cause it to take wings and
3:18:21fly away from you
3:18:23remember that you lose what you condemn
3:18:26you cannot attract what you criticize
3:18:29here is a simple technique you may use
3:18:31to multiply money in your experience
3:18:34use the following statements several
3:18:37times a day
3:18:38I like money I love it I use it wisely
3:18:41constructively and judiciously
3:18:44money is constantly circulating in my
3:18:47life
3:18:48I release it with joy and it returns to
3:18:51me multiplied in a wonderful way
3:18:54it is good and very good
3:18:56money flows to me in Avalanches of
3:18:59abundance
3:19:00I use it for good only and I am grateful
3:19:03for my good and for the riches of my
3:19:05mind
3:19:06suppose you discovered a rich vein of
3:19:08gold silver lead copper or iron in the
3:19:12ground
3:19:13would you announce that these things
3:19:15evil
3:19:16of course not
3:19:18all evil comes from humankind's darkened
3:19:20understanding from his ignorance from
3:19:23his false interpretation of life and
3:19:25from misuse of his subconscious mind
3:19:28since money is simply a symbol we could
3:19:30just as easily use lead or tin or some
3:19:33other metal as a medium of Exchange
3:19:36in the earlier part of the 20th century
3:19:38U.S dimes and quarters were made of
3:19:41silver
3:19:42at times they contain 10 cents of 25
3:19:45cents worth of silver
3:19:47then the government started making them
3:19:50of Cheaper metals
3:19:51but the worth of a quarter is still 25
3:19:54cents even if the metal that makes it up
3:19:56is worth far less than that
3:19:59a physicist will tell you that the only
3:20:01difference between one metal and another
3:20:03is the kind and number of Elementary
3:20:05particles in its atoms
3:20:08if you direct a stream of particles at a
3:20:10block of one metal you can change it
3:20:12into another
3:20:13the alchemist's ancient dream of
3:20:15producing gold from base or Metals is
3:20:18now within our grasp
3:20:20but so what
3:20:21gold is no more virtuous or evil than
3:20:25lead
3:20:26they are different substances with
3:20:28different properties that's all
3:20:30it is only because of the long history
3:20:32in which gold was considered especially
3:20:35precious that people love it or hate it
3:20:37more than they do lead
3:20:39many years ago I met a young man in
3:20:42Australia who told me that his fondest
3:20:44dream was to become a physician
3:20:46he was taking science classes and doing
3:20:49brilliantly but he had no way to pay for
3:20:51medical school
3:20:53his parents were both dead
3:20:55to support himself he cleaned doctors
3:20:58offices in the local Hospital's
3:21:00Professional Building
3:21:02I explained to him that a seed deposited
3:21:04in the soil attracts to itself
3:21:06everything it needs for its proper
3:21:08unfolding
3:21:09all he had to take a lesson from the
3:21:11seed and plant the required idea in his
3:21:13subconscious mind
3:21:15every night as this young man went to
3:21:18sleep he visualized a medical diploma
3:21:20with his name in big bold letters
3:21:23he found it easy to create a sharp
3:21:25detailed image of the diploma
3:21:28part of his job was to dust and polish
3:21:31the frame diplomas hanging on the walls
3:21:33of the doctor's offices and he studies
3:21:35them as he cleaned them
3:21:37he persisted with his visualization
3:21:39technique every night for about four
3:21:41months
3:21:42then one of the doctors whose office he
3:21:45cleaned asked if he would like to become
3:21:46a physician's assistant
3:21:48the doctor paid for him to attend a
3:21:51training program where learned a wide
3:21:52variety of medical skills then gave him
3:21:55a job as his assistant
3:21:57he was so impressed with the young man's
3:21:59Brilliance and determination that he
3:22:01helped him through medical school
3:22:03today this young man is a prominent
3:22:06doctor in Montreal Canada
3:22:09this young man's success came because he
3:22:11had learned the law of attraction
3:22:14he discovered how to use his
3:22:16subconscious mind the right way
3:22:18this involved making use of an age-old
3:22:20law which says having clearly seen the
3:22:23end you have willed the means to the
3:22:25realization of the end
3:22:27the end in this case was to become a
3:22:29physician
3:22:30he was able to imagine see and feel the
3:22:34reality of being a doctor
3:22:36he lived with the idea
3:22:38he sustained it nourished it and loved
3:22:41it
3:22:42at last through his visualization the
3:22:45idea penetrated the layers of his
3:22:46subconscious mind
3:22:48it became a conviction
3:22:51that conviction then attracted to him
3:22:53everything that was needed for the
3:22:54Fulfillment of his dream
3:22:56let us say you work for a large
3:22:58corporation
3:22:59you believe that you are underpaid
3:23:02you resent the fact you are appreciated
3:23:04by your employers
3:23:06you constantly mull over your conviction
3:23:09that you deserve more money and greater
3:23:11recognition
3:23:12by setting yourself in mental opposition
3:23:15to your employer you are subconsciously
3:23:17severing your ties with that
3:23:19organization
3:23:20you are setting a process in motion
3:23:23then one day your Superior tells you we
3:23:27have to let you go
3:23:28in a real sense you dismissed yourself
3:23:32your Superior was simply acting as the
3:23:34instrument through which your own
3:23:35negative mental state was confirmed
3:23:38this is an example of the law of action
3:23:41and reaction
3:23:42the action was your thought and the
3:23:44reaction was the response of your
3:23:46subconscious mind
3:23:48from time to time you have probably
3:23:50heard someone say anybody who makes a
3:23:53lot of money has to be some kind of
3:23:54crook
3:23:55the person who talks and thinks this way
3:23:58is usually suffering from a financial
3:24:00illness
3:24:02maybe he is bitter and envious of former
3:24:04friends who have been more successful
3:24:06and now have greater resources
3:24:09if so this person is creating his own
3:24:12difficulties
3:24:13entertaining negative thoughts about
3:24:15those friends and condemning their
3:24:17wealth causes prosperity and wealth to
3:24:19flee
3:24:20would you stay with someone who condemns
3:24:22you
3:24:23of course not and neither with wealth
3:24:26this person is chasing away the thing he
3:24:28is praying for
3:24:30he is praying in two ways
3:24:33on the one hand he is saying I wish
3:24:35wealth to flow to me now
3:24:37but in the next breath he is saying that
3:24:40fellow's wealth is dirty evil thing
3:24:43always make it a special point to
3:24:45rejoice in the wealth of the other
3:24:47person
3:24:48if you are seeking guidance regarding
3:24:50Investments or if you are worried about
3:24:52your stocks or bonds quietly claim
3:24:55infinite intelligence governs and
3:24:57watches over all my financial
3:24:58transactions
3:25:00whatsoever I do shall prosper
3:25:03if you do this frequently with perfect
3:25:06faith and confidence you will find that
3:25:08you will be guided to make wise
3:25:10Investments
3:25:11moreover you will be protected from loss
3:25:14because you will be prompted to sell
3:25:16your securities or Holdings before any
3:25:18loss accrues to you
3:25:20in large stores the management hires
3:25:22guards and store detectives to prevent
3:25:24people from stealing
3:25:26every day catch a number of people every
3:25:29day trying to get something for nothing
3:25:31anyone who does such a thing is steeped
3:25:34in a mental atmosphere of lack and
3:25:35limitation
3:25:37in trying to steal from others they are
3:25:39robbing themselves of Peace Harmony
3:25:41Faith honesty Integrity Goodwill and
3:25:45confidence
3:25:47furthermore the messages to their
3:25:49subconscious Minds draw to them all
3:25:51manner of loss loss of character
3:25:53Prestige social status and peace of mind
3:25:58these people do not understand how their
3:26:00minds work
3:26:01they lack faith in the source of supply
3:26:05If Only They would mentally call on the
3:26:07powers of their subconscious mind and
3:26:09claim that they are guided to their true
3:26:11expression they would find work in
3:26:13abundance
3:26:14then by honesty integrity and
3:26:17perseverance they would become a credit
3:26:19to themselves and to Society at Large
3:26:22the path to Freedom comfort and a
3:26:25constant supply of needed wealth lies in
3:26:27recognizing the powers of your
3:26:29subconscious mind and the creative power
3:26:31of your thought or mental image
3:26:33accept the Abundant Life in your own
3:26:37mind
3:26:38your mental acceptance and expectancy of
3:26:41wealth has its own mathematics and
3:26:42mechanics of expression
3:26:44as you enter into the mood of opulence
3:26:47all things necessary for the Abundant
3:26:49Life will come to pass
3:26:51let this be your daily affirmation write
3:26:54it in your heart I am one with the
3:26:56infinite Riches of my subconscious mind
3:26:59it is my right to be rich happy and
3:27:02successful
3:27:03money flows to me freely copiously and
3:27:06endlessly
3:27:08I am forever conscious of my true worth
3:27:11I give up my talents freely and I am
3:27:14wonderfully blessed financially
3:27:16it is wonderful
3:27:20chapter 11.
3:27:22your subconscious mind as a partner in
3:27:25success
3:27:26the true inner meaning of success is to
3:27:28be successful at the Enterprise of
3:27:30living
3:27:31a long period of Peace joy and happiness
3:27:35on this plane may be term success
3:27:38the Eternal experience of these
3:27:40qualities is the everlasting life spoken
3:27:42of by Jesus
3:27:44the real things of life such as peace
3:27:47harmony integrity security and happiness
3:27:50are intangible
3:27:52they come from the deep self of man
3:27:55meditating on these qualities builds
3:27:57these Treasures of Heaven in our
3:27:59subconscious
3:28:01that is the true place where
3:28:03moth and rust do not consume and where
3:28:06thieves do not break through and steal
3:28:09Matt 6 20.
3:28:11the vital first step to success is to
3:28:14find out the thing you love to do then
3:28:16do it
3:28:17unless you love your work you cannot
3:28:19possibly consider yourself successful at
3:28:22it even if all the rest of the world
3:28:24hails you as a great success
3:28:26loving your work you have a deep desire
3:28:29to carry it out
3:28:31if someone is drawn to become a
3:28:32psychiatrist it is not enough for her to
3:28:35get a diploma and hang it on the wall
3:28:38she will want to keep up with the field
3:28:39attend conventions and continue studying
3:28:43the mind and its workings
3:28:45she will visit other clinics and pour
3:28:47over the latest scientific journals
3:28:50in other words she will work to keep
3:28:52herself informed in the most advanced
3:28:54methods of alleviating human suffering
3:28:56because she puts the interests of her
3:28:58patients first
3:29:00but what if as you read these words you
3:29:03find yourself thinking in other words I
3:29:06can't take the first step because I
3:29:08don't know what it is I want to do
3:29:10how on Earth do I find a field of effort
3:29:12that I will love
3:29:14if that is your situation pray for
3:29:16guidance in this way
3:29:19the infinite intelligence of my
3:29:21subconscious mind reveals to me my true
3:29:23place in life
3:29:24repeat this prayer in quietly positively
3:29:27and lovingly to your deeper mind
3:29:30as you persist with faith and confidence
3:29:33the answer will come to you as a feeling
3:29:35a hunch or a tendency in a certain
3:29:38direction
3:29:39it will come to you clearly and in peace
3:29:42and as an inner awareness
3:29:44the second step to success is to
3:29:47specialize in some particular branch of
3:29:49work and strive to excel in it
3:29:51suppose a student chooses chemistry as a
3:29:54profession
3:29:55he should concentrate on one of the many
3:29:57branches in this field and give all his
3:29:59time and attention to his chosen
3:30:01specialty
3:30:02his enthusiasm should make him want to
3:30:05know all there is available about his
3:30:06field if possible he should know more
3:30:09than anyone else
3:30:11the young man should become ardently
3:30:13interested in his work and should desire
3:30:15to use it to serve the world
3:30:17he that is greatest among you let him
3:30:19become your servant
3:30:21there is an enormous contrast between
3:30:23this attitude of mind and that of
3:30:25someone who only wants to make a living
3:30:27or just get by
3:30:29getting by is not true success
3:30:33people's motive must be greater nobler
3:30:35and more altruistic
3:30:38they must serve others thereby casting
3:30:40their bread upon the waters
3:30:43the third step is the most important one
3:30:46you must be sure that the thing you want
3:30:48to do does not contribute only to your
3:30:50own success
3:30:52your desire must not be selfish
3:30:55it must benefit Humanity
3:30:57the path of a complete circuit must be
3:31:00formed
3:31:01in other words your idea must go forth
3:31:04with the purpose of blessing or serving
3:31:06the world
3:31:07it will then come back to you magnified
3:31:09and full of blessings
3:31:11if you work only for your own benefit
3:31:13you do not complete this essential
3:31:15circuit
3:31:17you may appear to be successful but the
3:31:19short circuit you have generated in your
3:31:21life may lead over time to limitation or
3:31:23sickness
3:31:25at this point you may be thinking what
3:31:27about that guy I saw a show about
3:31:30the one who made hundreds of millions of
3:31:32dollars from Shady stock deals
3:31:35he's as big a success as you'll ever see
3:31:37and I don't think he cares a bit about
3:31:39benefiting Humanity
3:31:41such cases are all too common but we
3:31:44must be careful to understand them for
3:31:46what they are
3:31:48someone may seem to succeed for a while
3:31:50but money obtained by fraud often takes
3:31:53wings and files away
3:31:55even if it does not when we rob from
3:31:57another we rob from ourselves
3:32:00the mood of lack and limitation that led
3:32:02to our Behavior manifests itself in
3:32:04other ways as well in our body our home
3:32:07life our relationships with others
3:32:10what we think and feel we create
3:32:13we create what we believe
3:32:16even though someone may have accumulated
3:32:18a fortune fraudulently he is not
3:32:20successful
3:32:22there is no success without peace of
3:32:24mind
3:32:25what good is a person's accumulated
3:32:27wealth if he cannot sleep nights is sick
3:32:30or has a guilt complex
3:32:33I once met a professional criminal in
3:32:35London who told me something of his
3:32:37exploits
3:32:38he had amassed a large fortune that
3:32:40allowed him to live in a luxury in his
3:32:42house outside London and his summer home
3:32:45in France
3:32:46in luxury yes but not in Comfort
3:32:50he was in constant dread of being
3:32:52arrested by Scotland Yard
3:32:54he had many inner disorders which were
3:32:56undoubtedly caused by his constant fear
3:32:59and deep seated guilt complex
3:33:02he knew he had done wrong
3:33:04this deep sense of guilt attracted all
3:33:07kinds of trouble to him
3:33:09later
3:33:10I heard that he had voluntarily turned
3:33:12himself into the police and had served a
3:33:14prison sentence
3:33:16after his release from prison he sought
3:33:19psychological and spiritual counsel and
3:33:21became transformed
3:33:23he went to work and became an honest
3:33:25law-abiding citizen
3:33:27he found what he loved to do and was
3:33:30happy
3:33:31a successful person loves her work and
3:33:33expresses herself fully
3:33:35success is contingent upon a higher
3:33:38ideal than the mere accumulation of
3:33:40riches
3:33:41the person of success is the person who
3:33:43possesses great psychological and
3:33:45spiritual understanding
3:33:47many of the Great Business Leaders of
3:33:50today depend upon the correct use of
3:33:52their subconscious Minds for their
3:33:53success
3:33:55they cultivate the ability to see an
3:33:57upcoming project as if it were complete
3:34:00having seen and felt the Fulfillment of
3:34:02their prayers their subconscious Minds
3:34:04bring about their realization
3:34:07if you imagine an objective clearly you
3:34:09will be provided with the Necessities in
3:34:12ways you know not of through the Wonder
3:34:14working power of your subconscious mind
3:34:17in considering the three steps to
3:34:19success you must never forget the
3:34:21underlying power of the creative forces
3:34:23of your subconscious mind this is the
3:34:25energy behind the steps in any plan of
3:34:27success
3:34:28your thought is creative
3:34:31thought fused with feeling becomes a
3:34:33subjective Faith or belief
3:34:35and according to your belief is it done
3:34:37unto you
3:34:39Matt 9 29
3:34:41once you understand that you possess a
3:34:43mighty Force within you which is capable
3:34:45of bringing to pass all your desires you
3:34:48gain both confidence and a sense of
3:34:50peace
3:34:51whatever your field of action may be you
3:34:54should learn the laws of your
3:34:55subconscious mind
3:34:57when you know how to apply the powers of
3:34:59your mind and when you are expressing
3:35:01yourself fully and giving of your
3:35:03talents to others you are on the sure
3:35:05path to True success
3:35:07if you are about God's business or any
3:35:10part of it God by his nature is for you
3:35:13so who can be against you
3:35:15with this understanding there is no
3:35:17power in heaven or on Earth that can
3:35:19withhold success from you
3:35:21in Hollywood I met an actor whose name
3:35:24is probably familiar to every moviegoer
3:35:26for television fan
3:35:28he confided to me that he had grown up
3:35:30on a small farm in the Midwest
3:35:33his family was just scraping by
3:35:36his only entertainment was an old black
3:35:38and white TV that barely pulled two
3:35:40channels
3:35:42even so he began to dream of being an
3:35:45actor
3:35:46the dream occupied him more and more
3:35:49all the time I was working in the fields
3:35:51he said or driving the cows back to the
3:35:54barn I imagined that I could see my name
3:35:56in big letters on the Marquee of a great
3:35:58theater
3:36:00I saw every detail the crowds of fans
3:36:03the interviewers clamoring to speak to
3:36:05me
3:36:06I kept this up for years
3:36:08finally I left home
3:36:11I came to Los Angeles and worked as an
3:36:13extra in films and TV shows
3:36:16before long I got my first starring role
3:36:20the night of the premiere I drove to the
3:36:23theater and almost fainted
3:36:25there was My Name In Lights there were
3:36:27the crowds and the news reporters all
3:36:29just as I had imagined as a child
3:36:32he added I more than anyone understand
3:36:35how the power of sustained imagination
3:36:37can bring success
3:36:40some years ago I got to know a young
3:36:42pharmacist named Mary S
3:36:45she worked in the prescription
3:36:46Department of a big chain drugstore
3:36:49one day while she was filing a
3:36:51prescription for me we started talking
3:36:54I asked her how she liked her work
3:36:57oh it's fine she said
3:37:00between my salary and commissions I do
3:37:03okay and the company has a good profit
3:37:05sharing program
3:37:07with any luck I'll be able to retire
3:37:09while I'm still young enough to enjoy
3:37:11life
3:37:12I was silent for a moment
3:37:15then I asked was that the way you
3:37:17thought it would be as a child when you
3:37:19wanted to be a pharmacist
3:37:21her face grew troubled
3:37:23well no she replied
3:37:26I guess not
3:37:28I always saw myself my with own store
3:37:31I wanted to walk down the street and
3:37:33have people say hello to me and call me
3:37:36by name
3:37:37and I'd know all their names because I
3:37:40was their druggist
3:37:41you're going to think this is strange
3:37:43but I even dreamed about having parents
3:37:45call me in the middle of the night
3:37:47because their kid was sick
3:37:49I'd pull my clothes on over my pajamas
3:37:52and go down to the store to get the
3:37:54medicine they needed
3:37:55not much like a nine-to-five job behind
3:37:58a counter at the back end of a big store
3:38:00is it
3:38:01it certainly isn't I said
3:38:04but why shouldn't you follow your dream
3:38:07wouldn't you be happier and more
3:38:09productive
3:38:10raise your sights
3:38:12get out of this place
3:38:14start your own store
3:38:16how can I she said shaking her head
3:38:20that takes big money and we're just
3:38:22getting by from month to month
3:38:25my response was to share with her a
3:38:27wonderful fact whatever she could
3:38:29conceive as true she could bring into
3:38:31being
3:38:32I went on to tell something about the
3:38:35powers of the subconscious mind
3:38:37she soon understood that if she could
3:38:39succeed in impregnating her subconscious
3:38:41mind with a clear and specific idea
3:38:43those Powers would somehow bring it to
3:38:46pass
3:38:47she began to imagine that she was in her
3:38:49own store
3:38:51she mentally arranged the bottles
3:38:53dispensed prescriptions and imagined
3:38:55waiting on customers who were also her
3:38:58neighbors and Friends
3:38:59she also visualized a big bank balance
3:39:03mentally she worked in that imaginary
3:39:06store
3:39:07like a good actor she lived the role
3:39:10act as though I am and I will be
3:39:13she put herself wholeheartedly into the
3:39:15ACT living moving and acting on the
3:39:18assumption that he owned the store
3:39:20several years later Mary wrote me to say
3:39:23what had happened to her life since our
3:39:25conversation
3:39:26the chain store she worked for went
3:39:28under because of competition from a
3:39:30larger store at a new mall
3:39:32she found a job as a traveling
3:39:35representative for a major drug company
3:39:37handling a territory that covered
3:39:39several States
3:39:40one day her work took her to a small
3:39:43town on the western edge of her
3:39:44territory
3:39:46there was only one drugstore in the town
3:39:49she had never been there before but the
3:39:52moment she walked in she recognized it
3:39:55it was exactly the store she had
3:39:57visualized so clearly in Her Imagination
3:40:00flabbergasted she told the elderly owner
3:40:03of the drugstore about this amazing
3:40:05coincidence
3:40:07in turn owner confided that he was about
3:40:09ready to retire but did not want to sell
3:40:12a store that had been in his family for
3:40:14three generations to some big
3:40:15Corporation
3:40:17after several discussions the owner
3:40:19offered to lend her the money to buy the
3:40:21store
3:40:22she would be able to make the payments
3:40:24on the loan out of the profits of the
3:40:26business
3:40:27the young woman moved her family to the
3:40:30town and soon was able to make a down
3:40:31payment on a big old house within
3:40:34walking distance of the store
3:40:36now when she walks to work in the
3:40:38morning everyone she passes says hello
3:40:40and calls her by name
3:40:42they know her because she is their
3:40:45druggist
3:40:46some years ago I gave a lecture to a
3:40:49group of business Executives on the
3:40:50powers of imagination and the
3:40:52subconscious mind
3:40:54in the course of the lecture I described
3:40:56how the great German poet kurda used his
3:40:59imagination wisely when confronted with
3:41:01difficulties and predicaments
3:41:03according to gerda's biographers he was
3:41:06accustomed to filling many hours quietly
3:41:08holding imaginary conversations
3:41:11he would imagine one of his friends
3:41:12sitting across from him answering him in
3:41:15the right way
3:41:16in other words if you were concerned
3:41:18over any problems he imagined his friend
3:41:21giving him the right or appropriate
3:41:23answer accompanied with his usual
3:41:25gestures and tonal qualities of The
3:41:27Voice
3:41:28he made the entire imaginary scene as
3:41:31real and as Vivid as possible
3:41:33one of the people present at his lecture
3:41:35was a young stockbroker
3:41:37she proceeded to adopt the technique of
3:41:40Gerda
3:41:41she began to have imaginary
3:41:43conversations with a multi-millionaire
3:41:45investor who knew her and had once
3:41:47congratulated her on her wise and sound
3:41:50judgment in recommending stocks
3:41:53she dramatized this imaginary
3:41:55conversation until she had
3:41:56psychologically fixed it as a form of
3:41:58belief in her mind
3:42:00this broker's inner talking and
3:42:03controlled imagination certainly agreed
3:42:05with her aim which was to make sound
3:42:06Investments for her clients
3:42:09her main purpose in life was to make
3:42:11money for her clients and to see them
3:42:13Prosper financially by her wise counsel
3:42:16she is still using her subconscious mind
3:42:19in her business and she is a brilliant
3:42:21success in her field
3:42:23She was recently interviewed in an
3:42:25article in a major Financial magazine
3:42:29sixteen-year-old Todd M told me I am
3:42:31failing everything
3:42:33I don't know why
3:42:35I guess I'm just stupid
3:42:37maybe I'd better drop out of school
3:42:39before they flunk me out
3:42:42as we talked further I discovered that
3:42:44the only thing wrong with Todd was his
3:42:46attitude
3:42:48he felt indifferent toward his studies
3:42:50and resentful towards some of his
3:42:51teachers and fellow students
3:42:54I taught him to use his subconscious
3:42:56mind to succeed in his studies
3:42:59he began to affirm certain truths
3:43:01several times a day particularly at
3:43:03night prior to sleep and first thing in
3:43:06the morning
3:43:07as we have seen these are the best times
3:43:09to impregnate the subconscious mind
3:43:12he affirmed as follows
3:43:15I realized that my subconscious mind is
3:43:18a storehouse of memory
3:43:20it retains everything I read and hear
3:43:22from my teachers I have a perfect memory
3:43:24at my disposal if I choose to use it
3:43:27the infinite intelligence in my
3:43:29subconscious mind constantly reveals to
3:43:31me everything I need to know on all my
3:43:33examinations whether written or oral
3:43:37I radiate love and Goodwill to all my
3:43:39teachers and fellow students
3:43:42I sincerely wish for them success and
3:43:44all good things
3:43:46Todd is now enjoying a greater freedom
3:43:49than he has ever known
3:43:51he is now receiving all A's
3:43:53he constantly imagines the teachers and
3:43:56his parents congratulating him on his
3:43:58success in his studies
3:44:00in buying and selling remember that your
3:44:03conscious mind is the starter and your
3:44:05subconscious mind is the motor
3:44:07you must start the motor to enable it to
3:44:10perform its work
3:44:11your conscious mind is the Dynamo that
3:44:14awakens the power of your subconscious
3:44:16mind
3:44:17the first step in conveying your
3:44:19clarified desire idea or image to the
3:44:22deeper mind is to relax immobilize the
3:44:25attention get still and be quiet
3:44:28this quiet relaxed and peaceful attitude
3:44:31of Mind prevents extraneous matter and
3:44:33false ideas from interfering with your
3:44:35mental absorption of your ideal
3:44:38furthermore in the quiet passive and
3:44:41receptive attitude of Mind effort is
3:44:43reduced to a minimum
3:44:45the second step is to begin to imagine
3:44:47the reality of the end you desire
3:44:50for example You may wish to buy a home
3:44:54in your relaxed State of Mind you affirm
3:44:57as follows
3:44:58the infinite intelligence of my
3:45:00subconscious mind is all wise
3:45:03it reveals to me now the ideal home that
3:45:05meets with all my requirements and that
3:45:07I can afford
3:45:09I am now turning this request over to my
3:45:12subconscious mind
3:45:13I know it responds according to the
3:45:15nature of my request
3:45:17I released this request with absolute
3:45:20faith and confidence in the same way
3:45:22that a farmer deposits a seed in the
3:45:24ground trusting implicitly in the laws
3:45:26of growth
3:45:27the answer to your prayer may come
3:45:29through an advertisement in the paper or
3:45:32from a friend
3:45:33or you may be guided directly to a
3:45:35particular home that is exactly what you
3:45:37are seeking
3:45:39there are many ways in which your prayer
3:45:41may be answered
3:45:43the principal knowledge in which you may
3:45:45place your confidence is that the answer
3:45:47always comes provided you trust the
3:45:50working of your deeper mind
3:45:52suppose instead of wanting to but you
3:45:55want to sell a home land or any kind of
3:45:58property
3:45:59the same approach of trusting the
3:46:01infinite intelligence of your
3:46:02subconscious mind will give you the
3:46:04guidance to weak
3:46:06when I sold my own home in Los Angeles I
3:46:09used a technique that many real estate
3:46:10brokers I have spoken to are now using
3:46:13with remarkable and Speedy results
3:46:16I placed a sign on the lawn in front of
3:46:18my home that read for sale by owner
3:46:21that night as I was going to sleep I
3:46:24asked myself suppose you find a buyer
3:46:26for the house what will you do next
3:46:29the answer was I will take down the for
3:46:32sale sign and throw it in the garbage
3:46:35against the inner screen of my mind I
3:46:37projected a detailed scenario
3:46:40I took hold of the sign pulled it up
3:46:42from the ground placed it on my shoulder
3:46:44carried it to the trash cans at the back
3:46:47of the house
3:46:48as I threw it in the garbage I said
3:46:51thanks for your help but I don't need
3:46:53you anymore
3:46:54I went to sleep feeling the Deep inner
3:46:56satisfaction of knowing that it was
3:46:58finished
3:46:59the next day a man gave me a deposit on
3:47:02the house and said you can throw that
3:47:04sign away
3:47:06you don't need it anymore
3:47:08I followed his advice
3:47:10I pulled the sign up and took it to the
3:47:12garbage
3:47:14the outer action conformed to the inner
3:47:17there is nothing new about this
3:47:19as within so without
3:47:22in other words according to the image
3:47:24impressed on your subconscious mind so
3:47:27it is on the objective screen of your
3:47:29life
3:47:30the outside mirrors the inside
3:47:33external action follows internal action
3:47:36here is another effective method used in
3:47:39selling homes land or any kind of
3:47:41property
3:47:42affirm slowly quietly and feelingly as
3:47:46follows
3:47:47infinite intelligence attracts to me the
3:47:50buyer for this home who wants it and who
3:47:52prospers in it
3:47:53this buyer is being sent to me by the
3:47:56creative intelligence of my subconscious
3:47:58mind which makes no mistakes
3:48:01this bio may look at many other homes
3:48:03but mine is the only one he wants and
3:48:06will buy because he is Guided by the
3:48:08infinite intelligence within him
3:48:10I know the buyer is right the time is
3:48:13right and the price is right
3:48:15everything about it is
3:48:18the Deep occurrence of my subconscious
3:48:20mind are now in operation bringing both
3:48:22of us together in divine order
3:48:25I know that it is so
3:48:27remember always that what you are
3:48:30seeking is also seeking you
3:48:32whenever you want to sell a home or
3:48:34property of any kind there is always
3:48:36someone who wants what you have to offer
3:48:39by using the powers of your subconscious
3:48:41mind correctly you free your mind of all
3:48:44sense of competition and anxiety in
3:48:46buying and selling
3:48:48there is a young woman Margaret T
3:48:50regularly attends my lectures and
3:48:52classes
3:48:54because of where she lived she had to
3:48:56change buses three times to get to the
3:48:58hall
3:48:59it took her one and a half hours each
3:49:02time to come to the lectures
3:49:04in one of my lectures she heard me
3:49:06explain how a young man who needed a car
3:49:09in his work received one
3:49:11she went home and experimented with the
3:49:13technique I had outlined in my lecture
3:49:16she later wrote me a letter telling me
3:49:18how she had applied my methods and what
3:49:20followed
3:49:21I publish it here with her permission
3:49:24dear Dr Murphy

3:49:29personal growth
3:49:30there was no other way I could go on
3:49:32attending your lectures regularly
3:49:35I decide that long as I was trying to
3:49:37obtain a car should try to obtain the
3:49:40car I always dreamed about which is a
3:49:42Cadillac
3:49:43in my imagination I went through all the
3:49:46steps I would go through if I were
3:49:48actually buying and driving a car
3:49:50I saw myself going into the showroom and
3:49:53test driving the model I was interested
3:49:55in
3:49:56I claimed the Cadillac car as my own
3:49:59over and over again
3:50:01I kept the mental picture of getting
3:50:03into the car driving it feeling the
3:50:05Upholstery and so on consistently for
3:50:08over two weeks
3:50:10last week I drove to your lectures in a
3:50:13Cadillac

3:50:19estate
3:50:20many prominent business Executives who
3:50:22quietly used the abstract term success
3:50:25over and over many times a day until
3:50:27they reach a conviction that success is
3:50:29theirs
3:50:31they know that the idea of success
3:50:33contains all the Essential Elements of
3:50:35success
3:50:36likewise you can begin Now to repeat the
3:50:39word success to yourself with faith and
3:50:42conviction
3:50:43your subconscious mind will accept it as
3:50:46true of you and you will be under a
3:50:48subconscious compulsion to succeed

3:52:02how scientists use the subconscious mind
3:52:06many of the most creative scientists in
3:52:08history have realized the true
3:52:10importance of the subconscious mind
3:52:13Edison Marconi Einstein and many others
3:52:16have used the subconscious mind to give
3:52:19them the insight and that know-how to
3:52:21bring about their great achievements
3:52:23the ability to bring into action the
3:52:25power of the subconscious mind is one of
3:52:28the most important factors in
3:52:29determining the success of great
3:52:31scientific and research workers
3:52:34one of the most amazing examples of this
3:52:36can be found in the life of the
3:52:38celebrated chemist Friedrich Von
3:52:40stradnitz
3:52:41he had been struggling for a long time
3:52:43to understand the chemical structure of
3:52:45the hydrocarbon called benzene
3:52:47this is a compound that contains six
3:52:50atoms of carbon and six of hydrogen
3:52:53stratanits was constantly perplexed by
3:52:55the problem
3:52:57all his efforts seemed to lead nowhere
3:53:00unable to Solve the Riddle tired and
3:53:02exhausted stradnets turned the matter
3:53:05over completely to his subconscious mind
3:53:08shortly afterward as he was about to
3:53:11board a London bus his subconscious
3:53:13presented his conscious mind with a
3:53:15sudden Flash
3:53:16in his mind stradnets saw the image of a
3:53:19snake biting its own tail and turning
3:53:21around like a pinwheel
3:53:23this answer from his subconscious mind
3:53:26inspired him to orient his research in a
3:53:28different direction
3:53:30soon he arrived at the long-sought
3:53:32answer the circular rearrangement of the
3:53:34atoms that is known as the Benzene ring
3:53:37Nikola Tesla was a brilliant Pioneer in
3:53:40the field of electricity
3:53:42the Tesla coil an exhibit in science
3:53:45museums that is always a favorite with
3:53:47children was only one of his inventions
3:53:50when someone touches at the static
3:53:52electricity makes his or her hair stand
3:53:55straight up
3:53:56Tesla also experimented with the concept
3:53:59of broadcasting energy
3:54:01his ideas on this topic are still
3:54:03considered revolutionary
3:54:05Tesla was a convinced user of the power
3:54:08of the subconscious mind
3:54:10whenever he had an idea for a new
3:54:12invention or a new research Direction he
3:54:15would build it up in his imagination
3:54:17then turn it over to his subconscious
3:54:19mind
3:54:20he knew that his subconscious mind would
3:54:22reconstruct and reveal to his conscious
3:54:25mind all the parts needed for its
3:54:27manufacture in concrete form
3:54:29through quietly contemplating every
3:54:31possible Improvement he wasted no time
3:54:34in correcting defects
3:54:36he was able to give the technicians
3:54:38working with him the perfect end product
3:54:40of his mind
3:54:41in an interview he said invariably my
3:54:45device works as I imagined it should
3:54:48in 20 years there has not been a single
3:54:50exception
3:54:51Professor Louis Agassi of Harvard
3:54:54University was one of the most
3:54:56distinguished American naturalists of
3:54:58the 19th century
3:55:00he discovered the powers of his
3:55:01subconscious mind while he slept
3:55:04the following example comes from a
3:55:06biography of Agassi written by his widow
3:55:10he had been for two weeks striving to
3:55:12decipher the somewhat obscure impression
3:55:14of a fossil fish on the stone slab in
3:55:16which it was preserved
3:55:18weary and perplexed he put his work
3:55:21aside at last and tried to dismiss it
3:55:23from his mind
3:55:25shortly after he waited one night
3:55:27persuaded that while asleep he had seen
3:55:29his fish with all the missing features
3:55:31perfectly restored
3:55:33but when he tried to hold and make fast
3:55:36the image it escaped him
3:55:38nevertheless he went early to the chart
3:55:40and the plans thinking that on looking
3:55:42Anew at the impression he should see
3:55:44something which would put him on the
3:55:46track of his vision
3:55:47in vain the Blurred record was as black
3:55:50as ever
3:55:51the next night he saw the fish again but
3:55:54with no more satisfactory result
3:55:57when he awoke it disappeared from his
3:55:59memory as before
3:56:01hoping that the same experience might be
3:56:03repeated on the third night he placed a
3:56:06pencil and paper beside his bed before
3:56:08going to sleep
3:56:09accordingly toward mourning the fish
3:56:12reappeared in his dream confusedly at
3:56:14first but at last with such distinctness
3:56:17that he had no longer any doubt as to
3:56:19its Zoological characters
3:56:21still half dreaming in perfect Darkness
3:56:24he traced these characters on a sheet of
3:56:27paper at the bedside
3:56:29in the morning he was surprised to see
3:56:31in his nocturnal sketch features which
3:56:33he thought it impossible the fossil
3:56:35itself should reveal
3:56:36he hastened to the jard and the plants
3:56:39and with his drawing as a guide
3:56:41succeeded in chiseling away the surface
3:56:43of the stone under which portions of the
3:56:46fish proved to be hidden
3:56:48when holy exposed it corresponded with
3:56:50his dream and his drawing and he
3:56:52succeeded in classifying it with ease
3:56:55in the 1920s Dr Frederick Banting a
3:56:58brilliant Canadian physician and
3:57:00researcher focused his attention on the
3:57:02ravages of diabetes
3:57:05at that time Medical Science offered no
3:57:07effective method of arresting the
3:57:09disease
3:57:10Dr Banting spent considerable time
3:57:13experimenting in studying the
3:57:14international literature on the subject
3:57:16but every path he explored seemed to be
3:57:19a dead end
3:57:20one night exhausted by still another
3:57:23long day of what seemed to be wasted
3:57:25efforts he fell asleep
3:57:27while asleep his subconscious mind
3:57:29instructed him to extract the residue
3:57:31from the degenerated pancreatic duct of
3:57:34dogs
3:57:35this inspiration led him to the
3:57:37discovery of insulin which has helped
3:57:39millions of people since
3:57:41you will note that Dr Banting had been
3:57:43consciously dwelling on the problem for
3:57:45some time seeking a solution a way out
3:57:49his subconscious responded accordingly
3:57:52it does not follow that you will always
3:57:54get an answer overnight
3:57:56the answer may not come for some time
3:57:59do not be discouraged
3:58:01keep on turning the problem over every
3:58:04night to the subconscious mind prior to
3:58:06sleep as if you had never done it before
3:58:09if you continue to experience a delay in
3:58:12arriving at a solution maybe you are
3:58:14thinking of the question you are
3:58:15presenting to your subconscious mind as
3:58:17a major one that will take a long time
3:58:19to solve
3:58:20this would not be surprising
3:58:23we are usually tempted to believe our
3:58:25problems are difficult
3:58:27if they weren't they wouldn't be
3:58:29problems
3:58:30however this is a mistake
3:58:33your subconscious mind is timeless and
3:58:36spaceless
3:58:37go to sleep believing you have the
3:58:39answer now
3:58:40do not postulate that the answer will
3:58:42have to wait to come in the future
3:58:45have an Abiding Faith in the outcome
3:58:48become convinced now as you read this
3:58:50book that there is an answer and a
3:58:52perfect solution for you
3:58:54Dr lothar Von blank Schmidt an
3:58:57outstanding Electronic Engineer was
3:58:59locked up in a Soviet prison camp during
3:59:01World War II
3:59:03he credits his survival and eventual
3:59:05escape to freedom to the powers of his
3:59:07subconscious mind
3:59:09I was a prisoner of war in a coal mine
3:59:12in Russia and I saw men dying all around
3:59:14me in that prison compound
3:59:17we were watched over by brutal guards
3:59:19arrogant officers and sharp
3:59:22fast-thinking commissars
3:59:24after a short medical checkup a quota of
3:59:27coal was assigned to each person
3:59:30my quota was 300 pounds per day
3:59:33in case any man did not fill his quota
3:59:36his small food ration was cut down and
3:59:39in a short time he was resting in the
3:59:40cemetery
3:59:42I started concentrating on my Escape
3:59:45I knew that my subconscious mind would
3:59:47somehow find a way
3:59:49my home in Germany was destroyed my
3:59:52family wiped out all my friends and
3:59:54former Associates were either killed in
3:59:56the war or were in concentration camps
3:59:59I said to my subconscious mind I want to
4:00:02go to Los Angeles and you will find a
4:00:04way
4:00:05I had seen pictures of Los Angeles and I
4:00:08remembered some of the boulevards very
4:00:10well as well as some of the buildings
4:00:12every day and night I would imagine I
4:00:15was walking down Wilshire Boulevard with
4:00:17an American Girl whom I met in Berlin
4:00:19prior to the war she is now my wife
4:00:22in my imagination we would visit the
4:00:24stores ride buses and eat in the
4:00:27restaurants
4:00:28every night I made it a special point to
4:00:31drive my imaginary American Automobile
4:00:33up and down the boulevards of Los
4:00:35Angeles
4:00:36I made all this Vivid and real
4:00:39these pictures in my mind were as real
4:00:41and as natural to me as one of the trees
4:00:44outside the prison camp
4:00:46every morning the chief guard would
4:00:48count the prisoners as they were lined
4:00:50up
4:00:51he would call out one two three
4:00:54Etc and when 17 was called out which was
4:00:57my number in sequence I stepped aside
4:01:01in the meantime the guard was called
4:01:03away for a minute or so and on his
4:01:06return he started by mistake on the next
4:01:08man as number 17.
4:01:10when the crew returned in the evening
4:01:12the number of men was the same and I was
4:01:15not missed and the discovery would take
4:01:17a long time
4:01:18I walked out of the camp undetected and
4:01:21kept walking for 24 hours resting in a
4:01:24deserted town the next day
4:01:26I was able to live by fishing and
4:01:28killing some wildlife
4:01:30I found coal trains going to Poland and
4:01:32traveled on them by night until finally
4:01:35I reached Poland
4:01:37with the help of friends I made my way
4:01:39to Lucerne Switzerland
4:01:42one evening at The Palace Hotel Lucerne
4:01:45I had a talk with a man and his wife
4:01:46from the United States of America
4:01:49this man asked me if I would care to be
4:01:51a guest at his home in Santa Monica
4:01:53California
4:01:55I accept it and when I arrived in Los
4:01:57Angeles I found that their chauffeur
4:02:00drove me along Wilshire Boulevard and
4:02:02many other boulevards which I had
4:02:03imagined so vividly in the long months
4:02:05in the Russian coal mines
4:02:08I recognized the buildings which I had
4:02:10seen in my mind so often
4:02:12it actually seemed as if I had been in
4:02:15Los Angeles before
4:02:17I had reached my goal
4:02:19I will never cease to Marvel at the
4:02:21wonders of the subconscious mind
4:02:24truly it has ways we know not of
4:02:27these scientists know that their
4:02:29subconscious mind has a memory of
4:02:31everything that has ever happened in the
4:02:33history of our species
4:02:35archaeologists studying the ancient
4:02:37ruins and the countless artifacts left
4:02:39by the people of former cultures can put
4:02:41imaginative perception to marvelous use
4:02:44in their work
4:02:45their subconscious mind can Aid them in
4:02:48reconstructing ancient scenes
4:02:50the dead past becomes alive once more
4:02:54looking at fragments of these ancient
4:02:56buildings and studying the pottery
4:02:58statuary tools and household utensils of
4:03:01earlier civilizations the scientist is
4:03:04able through the common data banks of
4:03:06the universal mind to know how when and
4:03:09why these objects were created
4:03:11the Keen concentration and disciplined
4:03:14imagination of the scientist awakens the
4:03:16latent powers of his subconscious mind
4:03:19this gives him the ability to clothe the
4:03:22ancient structures with roofs and
4:03:23surround them with Gardens pools and
4:03:26fountains
4:03:27the fossil remains are clothed with eyes
4:03:30sinews and muscles and they again walk
4:03:33and talk
4:03:34the past becomes the living present and
4:03:37we find that in mind there is no time or
4:03:39space
4:03:41through disciplined controlled and
4:03:43directed imagination you can be a
4:03:45companion of the most scientific and
4:03:47inspired thinkers of all time
4:03:50when you have make what you think will
4:03:52be a difficult decision or when you fail
4:03:54to see the solution to your problem
4:03:56begin at once to think constructively
4:03:58about it if you are fearful and worried
4:04:00you are not really thinking
4:04:02true thinking is Free From Fear
4:04:05here are the steps of a simple technique
4:04:07you can use to receive guidance on any
4:04:09subject
4:04:11quiet the mind and still the body
4:04:14tell the body to relax it has to obey
4:04:17you
4:04:18it has no volition initiative or
4:04:21self-conscious intelligence

4:04:42perfect answer were yours now
4:04:44let your mind play with this mood of
4:04:46happiness and concentrate in a relaxed
4:04:49way then drop off to sleep
4:04:51when you awaken if you do not have the
4:04:54answer get busy about something else
4:04:57while you are preoccupied with something
4:04:59else it is possible the answer will come
4:05:02into your mind
4:05:03in receiving guidance from the
4:05:05subconscious mind the simple way is the
4:05:08best
4:05:09here is an illustration
4:05:11I once lost a valuable ring which was a
4:05:14family heirloom
4:05:15I looked everywhere for it but it was
4:05:17nowhere to be found
4:05:19I was worried and disappointed by the
4:05:21loss
4:05:23that night I talked to my subconscious
4:05:25mind in the same manner that I would
4:05:27talk to anyone
4:05:29before dropping off to sleep I said to
4:05:31it you know all sins
4:05:34you know where that ring is and you now
4:05:36reveal to me where it is
4:05:38in the morning I awoke suddenly with the
4:05:41words ringing in my ear ask Robert
4:05:44this seemed very strange to me
4:05:47the only Robert the first could think of
4:05:49offhand was the nine-year-old son of my
4:05:51next-door neighbors
4:05:53why should he know anything about the
4:05:55location of my ring
4:05:57however I followed the inner voice of
4:05:59intuition
4:06:00I found Robert in his yard and described
4:06:03the ring to him
4:06:05you haven't seen it have you
4:06:07I asked
4:06:09oh sure he replied
4:06:12I found it in the bushes yesterday when
4:06:14I was playing hide and seek
4:06:17I didn't whose it was so I took it
4:06:19inside and put it on my desk
4:06:21I was going to put up a sign about it
4:06:24but I forgot
4:06:25the subconscious mind will always answer
4:06:28you if you trust it
4:06:30Hugo R was a young man who attended my
4:06:33lectures in Los Angeles
4:06:35he told me of his experience with the
4:06:37power of the subconscious mind
4:06:40his father had died recently apparently
4:06:42leaving no will
4:06:44however his sister told him that their
4:06:47father had once mentioned making his
4:06:48will and told her that he had done his
4:06:50best to make it fair to everyone
4:06:53Hugo realized that if his late father
4:06:55were ruled to have died in testate
4:06:57without a will property would be divided
4:07:00according to rules made by the state
4:07:03it was not likely that this would fit
4:07:05their father's desires
4:07:07moreover legal fees would consume much
4:07:10of the estate
4:07:11he and his sister looked everywhere but
4:07:14they could not locate the will
4:07:16they began to wonder whether the will
4:07:18existed at all
4:07:19then Hugo remembered what he had learned
4:07:22about using the subconscious
4:07:24before going to sleep he talked to his
4:07:27deeper mind saying I now turn this
4:07:29request over the subconscious mind
4:07:32it knows just where my father's will is
4:07:34and reveals it to me
4:07:37then he condensed his request down to
4:07:39one word answer
4:07:41he repeated it over and over again like
4:07:44a lullaby
4:07:45he went to sleep with the word answer
4:07:47echoing in his mind
4:07:50the next morning he woke up with a
4:07:52tremendous urge to visit a certain Bank
4:07:54in Los Angeles
4:07:56he wondered about this
4:07:58had he heard his father mention it once
4:08:01had he noticed a letter from the bank in
4:08:04his father's Mill
4:08:05he didn't know but he did know that he
4:08:07had to check out this hunch
4:08:09he went to the bank that morning
4:08:12eventually a bank officer confirmed that
4:08:15there was a safe deposit box in the
4:08:17vault registered in the name of his late
4:08:18father
4:08:20when the box was opened the missing will
4:08:22was discovered inside
4:08:24your thought as you go to sleep arouses
4:08:27the powerful latency that is within you
4:08:30suppose you are wondering if you should
4:08:32sell your home by a certain stock
4:08:34several partnership moved to New York or
4:08:38stay in Los Angeles dissolve the present
4:08:40contractor take a new one
4:08:42do this sit quietly in your armchair or
4:08:45at the desk in your office
4:08:48remember that there is a universal law
4:08:50of action and reaction
4:08:52the action is your thought the reaction
4:08:54is the response from your subconscious
4:08:56mind
4:08:58the subconscious mind is reactive and
4:09:00reflexive this is its nature
4:09:03it rebounds rewards and repays
4:09:07it follows the law of Correspondence
4:09:10it responds by corresponding
4:09:13as you contemplate right action you will
4:09:15automatically experience a reaction or
4:09:18response in yourself which represents
4:09:20the guidance or answer of your
4:09:21subconscious mind
4:09:23in seeking guidance you simply think
4:09:26quietly about right action
4:09:28this means that you are using the
4:09:30infinite intelligence resident in the
4:09:32subconscious mind to the point where it
4:09:34begins to use you
4:09:35from there on your course of action is
4:09:38directed and controlled by the
4:09:40subjective wisdom within you which is
4:09:42all wise and omnipotent
4:09:44your decision will be right
4:09:47there will only be right action because
4:09:49you are under a subjective compulsion to
4:09:51do the right thing
4:09:52I use the word compulsion because the
4:09:55law of the subconscious is compulsion
4:09:58The Secret of guidance or right action
4:10:00is to mentally devote yourself to the
4:10:02right answer until you find its response
4:10:04in you
4:10:05the response is a feeling an inner
4:10:08awareness an overpowering hunch whereby
4:10:10you know that you know
4:10:12you have used the power to the point
4:10:14where it begins to use you
4:10:16you cannot possibly fail or make one
4:10:19false step while operating under the
4:10:21subjective wisdom within you
4:10:23you will find that all your ways are
4:10:25pleasantness and all your paths are
4:10:27peace

4:10:32your subconscious and the wonders of
4:10:34sleep
4:10:36Jan spend about eight out of every 24
4:10:38hours or one-third of your entire life
4:10:41in sleep
4:10:43this is an inexorable law of life
4:10:46sleep is a Divine Law and many answers
4:10:49to our problems come to us when we are
4:10:51sound asleep
4:10:52many people have advocated the theory
4:10:55that you get tired during the day that
4:10:57you go to sleep to rest the body and
4:10:59that a reparative process takes place
4:11:01while you sleep
4:11:03this is a gross misunderstanding
4:11:05nothing rests in sleep
4:11:08your heart lungs and all your vital
4:11:11organs function while you are asleep
4:11:13if you eat prior to sleep the food is
4:11:16digested and assimilated
4:11:18your skin secretes perspiration
4:11:21your nails and hair continue to grow
4:11:24in the same way your subconscious mind
4:11:27never rests or sleeps
4:11:29it is always active controlling all your
4:11:32vital forces
4:11:34the healing process takes place more
4:11:36rapidly while you are asleep as there is
4:11:38no interference from your conscious mind
4:11:41remarkable answers are given to you
4:11:43while you are asleep
4:11:45one of the earliest scientific
4:11:47researchers to carry out serious
4:11:49investigations into sleep was Dr John
4:11:51Bigelow
4:11:53he was able to show that at night while
4:11:55asleep you receive Impressions through
4:11:57the sensory nerves connected to the Eyes
4:11:59Ears Nose and subcutaneous nerves
4:12:03the neural network of the brain is also
4:12:06quite active
4:12:07Dr Bigelow's research led him to a
4:12:10conclusion that is closely aligned with
4:12:12the information presented in this book
4:12:15he said that the main reason we sleep is
4:12:17in order that the nobler part of the
4:12:19soul is United by abstraction to our
4:12:22higher nature and becomes a participant
4:12:24in the wisdom and foreknowledge of the
4:12:25Gods
4:12:27throughout the day your conscious mind
4:12:29gets involved with fixations strife and
4:12:32contentions
4:12:34it needs to be able to withdraw
4:12:36periodically from sense evidence and the
4:12:38objective world and commune silently
4:12:40with the inner wisdom of your
4:12:42subconscious mind
4:12:43by claiming guidance strength and
4:12:46greater intelligence in All Phases of
4:12:48your life you will be enabled to
4:12:50overcome all difficulties and solve your
4:12:52daily problems
4:12:54this regular withdrawal from sense
4:12:56evidence and the noise and confusion of
4:12:59everyday living is also a form of sleep
4:13:02that is you become asleep to the world
4:13:04of the senses and alive to the wisdom
4:13:06and power of your subconscious mind
4:13:09lack of sleep can cause you to become
4:13:11irritable Moody and depressed
4:13:14all human beings need a minimum of six
4:13:17hours sleep to be healthy
4:13:19most people need more
4:13:21those who think they can get along
4:13:23unless are fooling themselves
4:13:25medical research Scholars investigating
4:13:28sleep processes and deprivation of sleep
4:13:31point out that severe insomnia has
4:13:33preceded psychotic breakdown in some
4:13:35instances
4:13:37remember you are spiritually recharged
4:13:40during sleep
4:13:41adequate sleep is essential to produce
4:13:44joy and vitality in life
4:13:46one way to find out why we need sleep is
4:13:49to look at what happens when we do not
4:13:51get it
4:13:52in 1964 a 17 year old boy named Randy
4:13:56Gardner set out to win a place in the
4:13:58Guinness Book of World Records
4:14:01he kept himself awake for 264 hours 11
4:14:05straight days
4:14:07later tests showed that he had suffered
4:14:09no permanent damage
4:14:11however during the time he was keeping
4:14:13himself awake his thinking process
4:14:16deteriorated
4:14:17his speech became slurred
4:14:20he suffered from memory lapses
4:14:23in the later hours he started to
4:14:25experience hallucinations
4:14:27most people who are chronically short on
4:14:30sleep do not go such extremes
4:14:32however they too may suffer from serious
4:14:35effects
4:14:37according to the national highway
4:14:38traffic safety administration as many as
4:14:41200 000 traffic accidents a year are
4:14:44related to sleep problems
4:14:46One driver in five has at least
4:14:49occasionally dozed off at the wheel
4:14:51as a result drivers are 5 to 10 times
4:14:54more likely to have an accident late at
4:14:56night than during the daytime
4:14:59experiments with volunteers have shown
4:15:01that a tired brain craves sleep so
4:15:03hungrily that it will sacrifice anything
4:15:05to get it
4:15:06after only a few hours of sleep loss
4:15:09subjects start experiencing fleeting
4:15:12naps called lapses or microsleep
4:15:15these happen three or four times an hour
4:15:18during them just as in real sleep the
4:15:22person's eyelids close in his or her
4:15:24brain waves become shower
4:15:26at first each of these lapses last just
4:15:29a fraction of a second but as hours of
4:15:32sleep loss Mount the lapses would take
4:15:34place more often and last longer for as
4:15:36much as two or three seconds
4:15:39even if the subjects had been piloting
4:15:41an airliner in a thunderstorm they still
4:15:43couldn't have resisted microsleeps for
4:15:45those few Priceless seconds
4:15:48Sandra f is a young lady in Los Angeles
4:15:50who has often listened to my radio talks
4:15:54she told me that she had been offered a
4:15:56lucrative position in New York City at
4:15:58twice her present salary
4:16:00she could not decide whether to accept
4:16:02or not to accept the new job
4:16:05before going to sleep she prayed in
4:16:07these words
4:16:09the creative intelligence of my
4:16:11subconscious mind knows what is best for
4:16:13me
4:16:14its tendency is always lifeward and it
4:16:17reveals to me the right decision which
4:16:19blesses me and all concern
4:16:22I give thanks for the answer which I
4:16:24know will come to me
4:16:25she repeated this simple prayer over and
4:16:28over as a lullaby as she drifted to
4:16:30sleep
4:16:31in the morning she had a persistent
4:16:33feeling that she should not accept the
4:16:35offer
4:16:36she rejected it
4:16:38later events verified her inward sense
4:16:41of knowing
4:16:42a few months after the job offer the
4:16:45company went bankrupt
4:16:47the conscious mind may be correct on the
4:16:49objectively known facts
4:16:51however it was the intuitive faculty of
4:16:54her subconscious mind that realized the
4:16:56problems with the company and prompted
4:16:58her accordingly
4:17:00the wisdom of your subconscious mind can
4:17:02instruct you and protect you if you pray
4:17:04for right action as you go to sleep
4:17:07many years ago I was offered a lucrative
4:17:10assignment in the Far East
4:17:12I prayed for guidance and the right
4:17:14decision as follows
4:17:16infinite intelligence within me knows
4:17:19all things and the right decision is
4:17:21revealed to me in divine order
4:17:24I will recognize the answer when it
4:17:26comes
4:17:27I repeated this simple prayer over and
4:17:29over again as a lullaby prior to sleep
4:17:32that night I had a dream in which an old
4:17:35friend came to me
4:17:37he held out a newspaper and said read
4:17:40these headlines
4:17:41do not go
4:17:43the headlines of the newspaper prompted
4:17:45stories of violence unrest and War of
4:17:48which occurred not long afterward in the
4:17:50area where I've been asked to go
4:17:53your subconscious mind is all wise
4:17:56it knows all things
4:17:58often it will speak to you but in a
4:18:01voice that your conscious mind will
4:18:02immediately accept as true
4:18:05in the dream I just related which
4:18:07doubtless saved from putting myself in a
4:18:09situation of grave danger my
4:18:11subconscious mind projected its warning
4:18:13in the guise of a person who I trusted
4:18:15and respected
4:18:17to some a warning may come in the form
4:18:19of a mother who appears in a dream
4:18:22she tells the person not to go here or
4:18:24there and the reason for the warning
4:18:27sometimes your subconscious will warn
4:18:29you in your waking hours
4:18:31you think you hear a voice that sounds
4:18:33like that of your mother or some loved
4:18:35one
4:18:36you stop and turn looking for its source
4:18:40later you find that if you had you had
4:18:42gone on the way you were going you might
4:18:44have been struck on ahead by an object
4:18:46falling from a window
4:18:47remember that because your future is the
4:18:50result of your habitual thinking is
4:18:52already in your mind unless you change
4:18:54it through prayer
4:18:56in the same way the future of a country
4:18:58is in the collective subconscious of the
4:19:00people of that Nation
4:19:02there is nothing strange in the dream I
4:19:04had wherein I saw the headlines of the
4:19:06newspapers long before the events they
4:19:09spoke of
4:19:10those events had already taken place in
4:19:12the minds of those who would bring them
4:19:14about
4:19:15all their plans were already engraved on
4:19:18that great recording instrument there
4:19:20subconscious mind or Collective
4:19:22unconscious of the universal mind
4:19:25tomorrow's events are in your
4:19:27subconscious mind
4:19:29so on next weeks and next months
4:19:32they may be perceived by a highly
4:19:34psychic or Clairvoyant person
4:19:36no disaster or tragedy can happen to you
4:19:39if you decide to pray
4:19:41nothing is predetermined or foreordained
4:19:45your mental attitude the way you think
4:19:47feel and believe determines your destiny
4:19:51you can through scientific prayer mold
4:19:54fashion and create your own future
4:19:57whatsoever a man soweth that shall he
4:20:00also reap
4:20:01years ago one of my students mailed me a
4:20:04newspaper clipping about a man named Ray
4:20:06hammerstrom who worked as a roller in a
4:20:08Pittsburgh steel mill
4:20:10the mill had recently installed a new
4:20:12machine that controlled the delivery of
4:20:14new forged steel bars to what are called
4:20:16the cooling beds
4:20:18despite the best efforts of the
4:20:20installers the machine could not be made
4:20:23to work properly
4:20:24Engineers worked on it for several days
4:20:27but to no avail
4:20:29hammerstrom thought a lot about the
4:20:31problem
4:20:32he tried to figure out a new design that
4:20:35might work
4:20:36nothing came to him
4:20:38one afternoon he laid down for a nap
4:20:41as he fell asleep he thought about the
4:20:44switch problem
4:20:45during his nap he had a dream in which
4:20:48he saw a perfect design for the faulty
4:20:50switch
4:20:51when he awoke he sketched his new design
4:20:54according to the outline of his dream
4:20:57this Visionary catnapped one hammerstrom
4:21:00a check for fifteen thousand dollars the
4:21:02largest award The Firm ever gave an
4:21:04employee for a new idea
4:21:06Dr h v helprecht was an eminent
4:21:10professor of Assyrian at the University
4:21:11of Pennsylvania
4:21:13in his Memoirs he recounted an amazing
4:21:16experience
4:21:18one Saturday evening I have been wearing
4:21:20myself in the vain attempt to decipher
4:21:23two small fragments of Agate which were
4:21:25supposed to belong to the finger rings
4:21:27of some Babylonians
4:21:29about midnight weary and exhausted I
4:21:32went to bed and dreamed the following
4:21:33remarkable dream a tall thin priest of
4:21:36nepour about 40 years of age led me to
4:21:39the treasure chamber of the temple a
4:21:41small low ceiling room without Windows
4:21:43while scraps of Agate and Lapis Lazuli
4:21:46lay scattered on the floor
4:21:48here he addressed me as follows the two
4:21:51fragments which you have published
4:21:52separately on pages 22 and 26 Belong
4:21:55Together are not finger rings
4:21:58the first two rings served as earrings
4:22:00for the Statue of the god the two
4:22:03fragments you have are the portions of
4:22:05them
4:22:06if you will put them together you will
4:22:08have confirmation of my words
4:22:10I awoke at once
4:22:13I examined the fragments and to my
4:22:15astonishment found the dream verified
4:22:18the problem was then at last solved
4:22:21this demonstrates clearly the creative
4:22:23manifestation of his subconscious mind
4:22:25which knew the answer to all his
4:22:28problems
4:22:29in one of his books across the plains
4:22:32Robert Louis Stevenson devotes a whole
4:22:34chapter to the topic of Dreams
4:22:37he was a vivid Dreamer
4:22:39it was his persistent Habit to give
4:22:41specific instructions to his
4:22:43subconscious every night prior to sleep
4:22:46he would request his subconscious to
4:22:48evolve stories for him while he slept
4:22:51for example if his bank account was low
4:22:54his command to his subconscious would be
4:22:56something like this give me a good
4:22:58thrilling novel that will be marketable
4:23:00and profitable
4:23:01his subconscious responded magnificently
4:23:05Stevenson recounts
4:23:07these little brownies the intelligences
4:23:10and powers of his subconscious can tell
4:23:13me a story piece by piece like a cereal
4:23:15and keep me its supposed Creator all the
4:23:18while in total ignorance of where they
4:23:20aim
4:23:21that part of my work which is done when
4:23:24I am up and about while he is
4:23:25consciously aware and awake is by no
4:23:28means necessarily mine since all goes to
4:23:31show that the brownies have a hand in it
4:23:33even then
4:23:34if you suffer from insomnia you will
4:23:37find the following prayer very effective
4:23:39repeat it slowly quietly and lovingly
4:23:43prior to sleep

4:25:02your subconscious mind and marital
4:25:04problems
4:25:05all marital trouble is caused by a
4:25:08failure to understand the functions and
4:25:10powers of the Mind
4:25:12fiction between husband and wife will
4:25:14disappear when each partner uses the law
4:25:16of Mind correctly
4:25:18by praying together they stay together
4:25:21the contemplation of divine ideals the
4:25:24study of the laws of Life the mutual
4:25:27agreement on a common purpose and plan
4:25:29and the enjoyment of personal freedom
4:25:31bring about that harmonious marriage
4:25:33that wedded bliss that sense of Oneness
4:25:35where the two become one
4:25:37the best time to prevent divorce is
4:25:40before marriage
4:25:41there is nothing wrong with deciding to
4:25:43get out of a very bad situation
4:25:46but why get into the bad situation in
4:25:49the first place
4:25:50would it not be better to give attention
4:25:52to the real cause of marital problems to
4:25:55really get at the root of the matter in
4:25:57the first place
4:25:58the problems of marital unhappiness
4:26:00Discord separation and divorce are no
4:26:04different from other problems of men and
4:26:05women
4:26:06they can be traced directly to lack of
4:26:09knowledge of the working and
4:26:10interrelationship of the conscious and
4:26:12subconscious mind
4:26:14to be genuine a marriage must begin on a
4:26:17sound spiritual basis
4:26:19it must be of the heart and the Heart Is
4:26:22The Chalice of love
4:26:24honesty sincerity kindness and integrity
4:26:28are all aspects of love
4:26:30each partner should be perfectly honest
4:26:32and sincere with the other
4:26:35it is not a true marriage when a man
4:26:37marries a woman or to lift his ego for
4:26:39because he wants to share her money
4:26:41social position
4:26:43this indicates a lack of sincerity
4:26:45honesty and true love
4:26:48such a marriage is a farce a sham and a
4:26:51masquerade
4:26:53when a woman says I am tired working I
4:26:56want to get married because I want
4:26:58security her major premise is false
4:27:01she is not using the laws of Mind
4:27:03correctly
4:27:05her security depends upon her knowledge
4:27:07of the interaction of the conscious and
4:27:09subconscious mind and its application
4:27:12for example a woman will never lack for
4:27:15wealth or health if she applies the
4:27:16techniques outlined in the chapters of
4:27:18this book
4:27:20her wealth can come to her independent
4:27:22of her husband parents or anyone else
4:27:25a woman is not dependent on her husband
4:27:27for health peace Joy inspiration
4:27:31guidance love wealth security happiness
4:27:35or anything in the world
4:27:37for security and peace of mind come from
4:27:39her knowledge of the powers within her
4:27:41and from the constant use of the laws of
4:27:43her own mind in a constructive fashion

4:30:53recently Sheila b a woman with many
4:30:56years of experience as an administrator
4:30:58said to me I have had three husbands and
4:31:01all three have been passive submissive
4:31:04they all depended on me to make all
4:31:06decisions and govern everything
4:31:08why do I attract such type men
4:31:11I asked her whether she had known before
4:31:13getting married the second time that her
4:31:15prospective husband had a similar
4:31:17character to first husband
4:31:19of course not she said emphatically
4:31:23if I had known he was such a milk toast
4:31:25I wouldn't have anything to do with him
4:31:28and the same goes for my third
4:31:30Sheila's trouble did not lie with the
4:31:33men she married
4:31:34it was a result of her own personality
4:31:37makeup
4:31:38she was a very assertive person with a
4:31:41strong need to stay in control of every
4:31:43situation she found herself in
4:31:45on one level she wanted a partner who
4:31:48would be submissive and passive so that
4:31:49she could play the dominant role
4:31:52at the same time he deeper need for a
4:31:54partner who would be her equal
4:31:57her subconscious picture attracted to
4:31:59her the sort of man that she
4:32:00subjectively wanted but once she found
4:32:02one she discovered that he did not meet
4:32:05her real needs
4:32:07she had to learn to break this pattern
4:32:09by adopting the right prayer process
4:32:12Sheila b finally learned a simple truth
4:32:15when you believe you can have the type
4:32:17of man you idealize it is done unto you
4:32:20as you believe
4:32:21to break the old subconscious pattern
4:32:24and attract to herself the ideal mate
4:32:26Sheila used the following prayer
4:32:28I am building into my mentality the type
4:32:31of man I deeply desire
4:32:33the man I attract for a husband is
4:32:36strong powerful loving very masculine
4:32:39successful honest and loyal and faithful
4:32:43he finds love and happiness with me
4:32:46I love to follow where he leads
4:32:49I know he wants me and I want him
4:32:52I am honest sincere loving and kind
4:32:57I have wonderful gifts to offer him
4:33:00they are good will a joyous heart and a
4:33:03healthy body
4:33:04he offers me the same
4:33:06it is mutual
4:33:08I give and I receive
4:33:11Divine intelligence knows where this man
4:33:13is and the deeper wisdom of my
4:33:15subconscious mind is now bringing both
4:33:17of us together in its own way and we
4:33:20recognize each other immediately
4:33:22I released this request to my
4:33:24subconscious mind which knows how to
4:33:26bring my request to pass
4:33:28I give thanks for the perfect answer
4:33:31she prayed in this way every day first
4:33:34thing in the morning last thing before
4:33:36going to sleep
4:33:37she affirmed these truths in the
4:33:39confident that through frequent
4:33:41occupation of the mind she would reach
4:33:43the mental equivalent of what she sought
4:33:46several months went by
4:33:48Sheila had a great number of dates and
4:33:50social engagements but none of the men
4:33:53she met was what she was looking for
4:33:55she began to wonder if her Quest was
4:33:58hopeless
4:33:59she found herself starting to question
4:34:01waver doubt and vacillate
4:34:04at that point she reminded herself that
4:34:07the infinite intelligence was bringing
4:34:09it to pass in its own way
4:34:11there was nothing to be concerned about
4:34:14when she received the final decree in
4:34:16her divorce proceedings it brought her a
4:34:19great sense of release and mental
4:34:20freedom
4:34:22soon afterwards she took a new position
4:34:24as head administrator in a medical group
4:34:26practice
4:34:27the first day she was on the job one of
4:34:30the senior Physicians came by her office
4:34:32to introduce himself
4:34:34he had been out of town at a medical
4:34:36conference the day she had interviewed
4:34:38for the position
4:34:40the minute he walked in she knew he was
4:34:42the man she was praying for
4:34:45apparently he knew it too
4:34:47he proposed to her before a month had
4:34:50passed
4:34:51their subsequent marriage was ideally
4:34:53happy
4:34:54this physician was not the passive or
4:34:57submissive type
4:34:58he was strong confident and decisive
4:35:02well respected in his field a former
4:35:05College athlete he was also a deeply
4:35:07spiritual man
4:35:09Sheila got what she prayed for because
4:35:11she claimed it mentally until she
4:35:13reached the point of saturation
4:35:15in other words she mentally and
4:35:18emotionally United with her idea and it
4:35:20became a part of her
4:35:22divorce is very an individual problem
4:35:25it cannot be generalized
4:35:28there cannot be a general answer that is
4:35:30valid for everyone
4:35:32in some cases of course there never
4:35:35should have been a marriage in the first
4:35:36place
4:35:38in other cases divorce is not the
4:35:40solution
4:35:41divorce may be right for one person and
4:35:44wrong for another
4:35:46a person who is divorced may be far more
4:35:49sincere and Noble than many married
4:35:50people who are perhaps living a lie
4:35:53for example I was once consulted by a
4:35:56woman whose husband beat her and stole
4:35:58from her to support a drug habit
4:36:00she had been brought up to believe that
4:36:02marriage is sacred and forever and that
4:36:05consequently divorce is immoral
4:36:07I explained to her that true marriage is
4:36:10of the heart
4:36:11if two hearts blend harmoniously
4:36:13lovingly and sincerely that is the ideal
4:36:16marriage
4:36:18the pure action of the Heart Is Love
4:36:21following this explanation she knew what
4:36:23to do
4:36:25she knew in her heart that there is no
4:36:27Divine Law which compelled her to be
4:36:28brow beaten intimidated and beaten
4:36:31because someone said I pronounce you man
4:36:34and wife
4:36:35if you are in doubt as to what to do ask
4:36:38for guidance
4:36:39know that there is always an answer and
4:36:42you will receive it
4:36:43follow the lead that comes to you in the
4:36:45Silence of your soul
4:36:47it speaks to you in peace
4:36:50I once spoke with a young couple who had
4:36:52been married for only a few months but
4:36:54were already seeking a divorce
4:36:56I discovered that the young man had a
4:36:58constant fear that his wife would leave
4:37:00him
4:37:01he expected rejection and he believed
4:37:04that she would be unfaithful
4:37:06these thoughts haunted his mind and
4:37:08became an obsession with him
4:37:11his mental attitude was one of
4:37:13separation and suspicion
4:37:15she felt unresponsive to him but this
4:37:18was a result of his own feeling
4:37:20the atmosphere of Separation operating
4:37:22through them his subconscious mind
4:37:24brought about a condition or action in
4:37:27accordance with the mental pattern
4:37:28behind it
4:37:29there is a law of action and reaction or
4:37:32cause and effect
4:37:34the thought is the action and the
4:37:36response of the subconscious mind is the
4:37:39reaction
4:37:40his wife left home and asked for a
4:37:42divorce exactly what he had feared and
4:37:45believed she would do
4:37:46divorce takes place first in the mind
4:37:48the legal proceedings follow after
4:37:52these two young people were full of
4:37:54resentment fear suspicion and anger
4:37:57these attitudes weaken exhaust and
4:38:00debilitate the whole being
4:38:02they learned that hate divides and that
4:38:05love unites
4:38:06they began to realize what they had been
4:38:08doing with their minds
4:38:10neither one of them knew the law of
4:38:12mental action and they were misusing
4:38:14their minds and bringing on chaos and
4:38:17misery on themselves
4:38:18at my suggestion this couple got back
4:38:21together and experimented with prayer
4:38:23therapy
4:38:24they began to radiate love peace and
4:38:27Good Will to each other
4:38:29each one practiced radiating Harmony
4:38:31Health peace and love to the other and
4:38:35they alternated in the reading of the
4:38:36Psalms every night
4:38:38as a result of this sincere effort on
4:38:41their part and the impregnation of their
4:38:43subconscious Minds with beautiful
4:38:44impulses air marriage is growing more
4:38:47beautiful every day
4:38:49many times the reason the wife nags is
4:38:52because she gets no attention
4:38:54her legitimate craving for love and
4:38:56affection expresses itself in a way that
4:38:58pushes her partner farther away
4:39:01give your wife attention and show your
4:39:03appreciation
4:39:05praise and exalt all her many good
4:39:07points
4:39:09another type of nagging reflects a
4:39:11desire to make the partner conform to a
4:39:13particular pattern
4:39:15there are a few quicker ways in the
4:39:17world to drive a partner away
4:39:19wives and husbands must be on their
4:39:21guard not to be scavengers always
4:39:24looking for petty faults or errors in
4:39:26each other
4:39:27Let each give attention and praise for
4:39:29the constructive and wonderful qualities
4:39:31in the other
4:39:33if a man begins to brood or grows morbid
4:39:35against his wife because of the things
4:39:37she said or did he is psychologically
4:39:40speaking committing adultery
4:39:43one of the meanings of adultery is
4:39:45idolatry which means giving attention to
4:39:48or United mentally with that which is
4:39:50negative and destructive
4:39:52when a man is silently resenting his
4:39:54wife and is full of hostility toward her
4:39:56he is unfaithful
4:39:58he is not faithful to his marriage vows
4:40:01which are to love cherish and honor her
4:40:04all the days of his life
4:40:06the man who is brooding bitter and
4:40:08resentful can swallow his sharp remarks
4:40:11Abate his anger and he can go to Great
4:40:13Lengths to be considerate kind and
4:40:16courteous
4:40:17he can definitely skirt the differences
4:40:20through praise and mental effort he can
4:40:23get out of the habit of antagonism
4:40:25as he soaks his subconscious mind with
4:40:28thoughts of Peace Harmony and love he
4:40:31will find that he gets along better not
4:40:33only with his wife but everyone in his
4:40:35life
4:40:36assume the harmonious State and
4:40:39eventually you will find peace and
4:40:40harmony
4:40:42a great mistake is to discuss your
4:40:44marital problems or difficulties with
4:40:46neighbors and relatives
4:40:48suppose for example a wife tells a
4:40:51neighbor John treats my mother
4:40:53abominably drinks to excess and is
4:40:56constantly abusive and insulting
4:40:58this wife is degrading and belittling
4:41:00her husband in the eyes everyone she
4:41:02speaks to
4:41:04moreover as she discusses and dwells
4:41:06upon the shortcomings of her husband she
4:41:09is actually creating these states within
4:41:11herself
4:41:12who is thinking and feeling it
4:41:15she is
4:41:16and as you think and feel so are you
4:41:20relatives will usually give you the
4:41:22wrong advice
4:41:24it is usually biased and Prejudiced
4:41:26because it is not given in an impersonal
4:41:28way
4:41:29any advice you receive which violates
4:41:31the Golden Rule which is a cosmic law is
4:41:34not good or sound
4:41:36It is Well to remember that no two human
4:41:39beings ever lived beneath the same roof
4:41:41without clashes of temperament periods
4:41:43of hurts and strain
4:41:45never display the unhappy side of your
4:41:48marriage to your friends
4:41:50keep your quarrels to yourself
4:41:52refrain from criticism and condemnation
4:41:55of your partner
4:41:56husbands and wives must not try to make
4:41:59their Partners over into a second
4:42:01edition of themselves
4:42:03the tactless attempt to change them is
4:42:05an affront a statement that they are not
4:42:07worthy in themselves
4:42:09these attempts are always foolish and
4:42:12many times lead to the destruction of
4:42:14the marriage
4:42:15attempting to alter someone destroys
4:42:17pride and self-esteem and arouses a
4:42:20spirit of contrariness and resentment
4:42:22that proves fatal to the marriage bond
4:42:25adjustments are needed of course
4:42:28none of us perfect and that holds for
4:42:30Marriage Partners as well
4:42:32but if you have a good look inside your
4:42:35own mind and study your character and
4:42:37behavior you will find so many
4:42:39shortcomings they will keep you busy the
4:42:41rest of your life
4:42:42if you think I will make him or her over
4:42:45into what I want you are looking for
4:42:47trouble and the divorce court you are
4:42:49asking for misery
4:42:51you will have to learn the hard way that
4:42:52there is no one to change but yourself
4:42:55the first step never carry over from one
4:42:58day to another accumulated irritations
4:43:01arising from Little disappointments
4:43:04be sure to forgive each other for any
4:43:06sharpness before you retire at night
4:43:09the moment you awaken in the morning
4:43:11claim infinite intelligence is guiding
4:43:13you in all your ways
4:43:15send out Loving Thoughts of Peace
4:43:17Harmony and love to your marriage
4:43:20partner to all members of the family and
4:43:22to the whole world
4:43:24the Second Step say grace at breakfast
4:43:28give thanks for the wonderful food for
4:43:30your abundance and for all your
4:43:32blessings
4:43:33make sure that no problems worries or
4:43:36arguments shall enter into the table
4:43:38conversation the same applies at dinner
4:43:41time
4:43:42say to your wife or husband I appreciate
4:43:45all you are doing and I radiate love and
4:43:47Good Will to ual day long
4:43:50the third step the husband and wife
4:43:53should alternate in praying each night
4:43:55do not take your marriage partner for
4:43:57granted
4:43:59show your appreciation and love
4:44:02think appreciation and Goodwill rather
4:44:04than condemnation criticism and nagging
4:44:08the way to build a peaceful home in a
4:44:10happy marriage is to use a foundation of
4:44:12love beauty Harmony mutual respect faith
4:44:16in God and all things good
4:44:19read the 23rd 27th and 91st Psalms the
4:44:2411th chapter of Hebrews the 13th chapter
4:44:26of First Corinthians and other great
4:44:29texts of the Bible before going to sleep
4:44:32as you practice these truths your
4:44:34marriage will grow more and more blessed
4:44:36through the years
4:44:40chapter 15.
4:44:42your subconscious mind and your
4:44:44happiness
4:44:45William James father of American
4:44:47psychology said that the greatest
4:44:50discovery of the 19th century was not in
4:44:52the realm of physical science
4:44:55the greatest discovery was the power of
4:44:57the subconscious touched by faith
4:45:00in every human being is that Limitless
4:45:02reservoir of power which can overcome
4:45:04any problem in the world
4:45:06true and Lasting happiness will come
4:45:08into your life the day you get the clear
4:45:10realization that you can overcome any
4:45:12weakness the day you realize that your
4:45:15subconscious can solve your problems
4:45:16heal your body and prosper you beyond
4:45:19your fondest dream
4:45:21you may have been very happy when became
4:45:23engaged to the partner of your dreams
4:45:26you may have felt happy when you
4:45:28graduated from college when you got
4:45:30married when your child was born or when
4:45:32you won a great Victory or a prize
4:45:35you could go on and list other
4:45:37experiences that have made you happy
4:45:40however no matter how marvelous these
4:45:43experiences are they do not give real
4:45:45lasting happiness
4:45:47they are transitory
4:45:49The Book of Proverbs gives the answer
4:45:51whosoever trusteth in the Lord happy is
4:45:54he
4:45:55when you trust in the Lord the power and
4:45:58wisdom of your subconscious mind to lead
4:46:00guide govern and direct all your ways
4:46:03you will become poised Serene and
4:46:06relaxed
4:46:07as you radiate love peace and Good Will
4:46:11to all you are really building a
4:46:13superstructure of happiness for all the
4:46:15days of your life
4:46:16happiness is a state of mind
4:46:19there is a phrase in the Bible which
4:46:21says choose ye this day whom ye will
4:46:24serve
4:46:25you have the freedom to choose happiness
4:46:28this may seem extraordinarily simple and
4:46:31it is
4:46:32perhaps this is why people stumble on
4:46:34the way to happiness they do not see the
4:46:37Simplicity of the key to happiness
4:46:39the great things of Life are simple
4:46:41Dynamic and creative
4:46:44they produce well-being and happiness
4:46:47Saint Paul reveals to you how you can
4:46:50think your way into a life of dynamic
4:46:52power and happiness in these words
4:46:55finally Brethren whatsoever things are
4:46:58true whatsoever things are honest
4:47:00whatsoever things are just whatsoever
4:47:03things are pure whatsoever things are
4:47:05lovely whatsoever things are of good
4:47:07report if there be any virtue and if
4:47:10there be any praise think on these
4:47:12things
4:47:13Phil 4 8. begin now to choose happiness
4:47:18this is how you do it when you open your
4:47:21eyes in the morning say to yourself
4:47:24divine order takes charge of my life
4:47:26today and every day
4:47:28all things work together for good for me
4:47:31today
4:47:32this is a new and wonderful day for me
4:47:35there will never be another day like
4:47:37this one
4:47:38I am divinely guided all day long and
4:47:41whatever I do will prosper
4:47:43Divine love surrounds me enfolds me and
4:47:47enrapts me and I go forth in peace
4:47:50whenever my attention wanders away from
4:47:52that which is good and constructive I
4:47:54will immediately bring it back to the
4:47:56contemplation of that which is lovely
4:47:58and of good report
4:47:59I am a spiritual and mental magnet
4:48:02attracting to myself all things which
4:48:04bless and prosper me
4:48:06I am going to be a wonderful success in
4:48:09all my undertakings today
4:48:11I am definitely going to be happy all
4:48:13day long
4:48:15start each day in this manner then you
4:48:17will be choosing happiness and you will
4:48:19be a radiant joyous person
4:48:21a number of years ago I stayed about a
4:48:24week in a former's house in Connemara on
4:48:27the west coast of Ireland
4:48:29my hosts seemed to be always singing and
4:48:31whistling and was full of humor
4:48:34I asked him the secret of his happiness
4:48:37sure it's a habit with me he replied
4:48:41every morning when I awaken and every
4:48:43night before I go to sleep I bless my
4:48:45family the crops the cattle and I thank
4:48:48God for the wonderful Harvest
4:48:51this farmer had made a practice of this
4:48:53for over 40 years
4:48:55as you know thoughts repeated regularly
4:48:58and systematically sink into the
4:49:00subconscious mind and become habitual
4:49:03he discovered that happiness is a habit
4:49:06there is one very important point about
4:49:08being happy
4:49:10you must sincerely desire to be happy
4:49:13there are people who have been depressed
4:49:15dejected and unhappy so long that with a
4:49:18suddenly made Happy by some wonderful
4:49:20good joyous news they would react like
4:49:23the woman who said to me it is wrong to
4:49:25be so happy
4:49:27they have been so accustomed to the old
4:49:29mental patterns that they do not feel at
4:49:31home being happy
4:49:33they long to return to their familiar
4:49:35depressed unhappy state
4:49:38I knew an elderly woman in England who
4:49:40had arthritis for many years
4:49:42she would Pat herself on the knee and
4:49:45say my arthritis is bad today
4:49:48I cannot go out
4:49:50my arthritis keeps me miserable
4:49:53as a result of her condition this woman
4:49:55got a lot of attention from her son
4:49:57daughter and the neighbors
4:50:00she really wanted her arthritis
4:50:03she enjoyed her misery as she called it
4:50:06on the level of her subconscious mind
4:50:08she did not really want to be happy
4:50:12I suggested a Curative procedure to her
4:50:15I wrote down some Biblical verses and
4:50:17told her that if she gave attention to
4:50:19these truths her mental attitude would
4:50:21undoubtedly change
4:50:23her faith and confidence would be
4:50:25restored to health
4:50:27she was not interested
4:50:30like many people she suffered from A
4:50:32peculiar mental morbid streak
4:50:35she enjoyed being miserable and sad or
4:50:38at least she enjoyed the benefits her
4:50:40misery brought her
4:50:41many people choose unhappiness without
4:50:44realizing that are doing so
4:50:46they do so by entertaining such ideas as
4:50:49these
4:50:50today is a black day everything is going
4:50:53to go wrong
4:50:55I am not going to succeed
4:50:57everyone is against me
4:50:59business is bad and it is going to get
4:51:02worse
4:51:03I'm always late
4:51:05I never get the brakes
4:51:07he can but I can't
4:51:10if you have this attitude of mind the
4:51:12first thing in the morning you will
4:51:14attract all these experiences to you and
4:51:16you will be very unhappy
4:51:18begin to realize that the world you live
4:51:21in is determined largely by what goes on
4:51:23in your mind
4:51:24Marcus Aurelius the great Roman
4:51:27philosopher and Sage said a man's life
4:51:30is what his thoughts make of it
4:51:32the leading American philosopher of the
4:51:3519th century Ralph Waldo Emerson said a
4:51:38man is what he thinks all day long
4:51:41the thoughts you habitually entertain in
4:51:43your mind have the tendency to actualize
4:51:45themselves in physical condition
4:51:48make certain you do not indulge in
4:51:50negative thoughts defeatist thoughts or
4:51:52unkind depressing thoughts
4:51:55recall frequently to your mind that you
4:51:57can experience nothing outside your own
4:51:59mentality
4:52:01wealth in and of itself will not make
4:52:03you happy
4:52:04on the other hand it is not a deterrent
4:52:07to happiness
4:52:09today many people try to buy happiness
4:52:11by buying things a high definition
4:52:13television the latest car expensive
4:52:16designer clothes a house in the country
4:52:19but happiness cannot be purchased or
4:52:22procured in that way
4:52:24the kingdom of happiness is in your
4:52:26thought and feeling
4:52:27too many people have the idea that it
4:52:30takes something to produce happiness
4:52:32some say if I were elected mayor mate
4:52:35CEO of the corporation featured on the
4:52:38society page of the paper I would be
4:52:40happy
4:52:41the truth is that happiness is a mental
4:52:44and spiritual state
4:52:46a promotion or external honor will not
4:52:48yield happiness
4:52:50your strength joy and happiness consist
4:52:53in finding out the law of divine order
4:52:55and right action lodged in your
4:52:57subconscious mind and by applying these
4:53:00principles in All Phases of your life
4:53:02when I was lecturing in San Francisco
4:53:04some years ago I was approached by a man
4:53:07who was very unhappy and dejected over
4:53:09the way his business was going
4:53:12he was the general manager of a
4:53:14corporation
4:53:15his heart was filled with resentment
4:53:17toward the vice president and the
4:53:19president of the company
4:53:21he felt that their opposition to his
4:53:23ideas was leading the company in a
4:53:25terrible Direction
4:53:27prophets were declining as was market
4:53:29share
4:53:30the company's share price was also down
4:53:33going down which concerned him greatly
4:53:35because much of his compensation was in
4:53:37the form of stock options
4:53:39this is how he solved his business
4:53:41problem the first thing each morning he

4:55:50the farmer dug the stump out burned it
4:55:52and leveled the road

4:55:59passed the place where the stump had

4:57:53chapter 16.
4:57:55your subconscious mind and harmonious
4:57:57human relations
4:57:59a vital concept you have learned from
4:58:01studying this book is that your
4:58:03subconscious mind is a recording machine
4:58:05which Faithfully reproduces whatever you
4:58:07impress upon it
4:58:09this is one of the reasons the golden
4:58:11rule is so Central to creating and
4:58:13maintaining a harmonious balance in your
4:58:16relationships with others
4:58:18all things whatsoever ye with that men
4:58:20should do unto you D even so to them
4:58:23Matt 712
4:58:26this lesson has both outer and inner
4:58:28meanings
4:58:29the inner meaning concerns the
4:58:31connection between your conscious and
4:58:33subconscious mind
4:58:35to paraphrase the scripture
4:58:37as you would want people to think about
4:58:39you think you about them in like manner
4:58:42as you would that men should feel about
4:58:44you feel you also about them in like
4:58:47manner
4:58:48as you would want men to act toward you
4:58:50act you toward them in like manner
4:58:53for example you may be polite and
4:58:55courteous to someone in your office but
4:58:58when her back is turned you are very
4:59:00critical and resentful toward her in
4:59:02your mind
4:59:03such negative thoughts are highly
4:59:05destructive to you
4:59:07it is like taking poison
4:59:09the negative energy you are generating
4:59:11robs you of Vitality enthusiasm strength
4:59:15guidance and Goodwill
4:59:17as these negative thoughts and emotions
4:59:20sink into your subconscious they cause
4:59:22all kinds of difficulties and maladies
4:59:24in your life
4:59:26judge not that ye be not judged
4:59:29for with what judgment you judge ye
4:59:32shall be judged and with what measure ye
4:59:34meet it shall be measured to you again
4:59:37Mat 7 1-2
4:59:39the key to harmonious relations with
4:59:42others lies in a close study of these
4:59:44verses and the application of the inner
4:59:46truths they represent
4:59:48to judge is to think to arrive at a
4:59:50mental verdict or conclusion in your
4:59:52mind
4:59:54the thought you have about the other
4:59:55person is your thought because you are
4:59:57thinking it
4:59:59your thoughts are creative therefore you
5:00:02actually create in your own experience
5:00:04what you think and feel about the other
5:00:06person
5:00:07the suggestion you give to another you
5:00:09give to yourself as well because your
5:00:11mind is the creative medium
5:00:14this is why it is said for with what
5:00:16judgment you judge ye shall be judged
5:00:19this means that in applying standards
5:00:21and criteria to others you create those
5:00:24standards in your subconscious which
5:00:26then applies them to you
5:00:28once you know this law and understand
5:00:30the way your subconscious mind works you
5:00:33will always be careful to think feel and
5:00:36act right toward others for in doing so
5:00:38you are creating a situation of right
5:00:40action feeling and thought toward
5:00:42yourself
5:00:43and with what measure you meet it shall
5:00:46be measured to you again
5:00:47the good you do for others comes back to
5:00:50you in like measure and the evil you do
5:00:52Returns To You by The Law of your own
5:00:54mind
5:00:55if someone cheats and deceives another
5:00:57he is actually cheating and deceiving
5:01:00himself
5:01:01his sense of guilt and mood of loss
5:01:03inevitably will attract loss to him in
5:01:06some way at some time
5:01:08his subconscious records his mental act
5:01:10and reacts according to the mental
5:01:12intention or motivation
5:01:14your subconscious mind is impersonal and
5:01:17unchanging neither considering persons
5:01:20nor respecting religious affiliations or
5:01:22institutions of any kind
5:01:24it is neither compassionate nor
5:01:26vindictive
5:01:28the way you think feel and act toward
5:01:31others returns at last upon yourself
5:01:34begin now to observe yourself
5:01:37observe your reactions to people
5:01:39conditions and circumstances
5:01:42record them in a notebook for later
5:01:44study
5:01:45how do you respond to the events and
5:01:48news of the day
5:01:49it makes no difference if all the other
5:01:51people were wrong and you alone were
5:01:53right
5:01:54if the news disturbs you it is your evil
5:01:57because your negative emotions robbed
5:01:59you of peace and harmony
5:02:01a woman wrote me tea ask for help with
5:02:03her husband
5:02:05she explained that we went into a rage
5:02:07every time he read what certain
5:02:09newspaper columnists wrote in the
5:02:11newspaper
5:02:12she added that this constant reaction of
5:02:14anger and suppressed rage on his part
5:02:16was very bad for his high blood pressure
5:02:19his doctor had told him that he had to
5:02:22find some way to reduce his stress
5:02:24through emotional reconditioning
5:02:26I invited this man to see me
5:02:29I explained to him the way his mind
5:02:31functions
5:02:32he understood that it was emotionally
5:02:34immature to get angry over an articles
5:02:36in the newspaper but he had not known
5:02:39the damage his anger was causing to his
5:02:41own mind and body
5:02:42he began to realize that he should give
5:02:45the columnist the freedom to express
5:02:46himself even if disagreed with him
5:02:48politically religiously or in any other
5:02:51way
5:02:52in the same manner the columnist ought
5:02:55to give him freedom to write a letter to
5:02:57the newspaper disagreeing with his
5:02:58published statements
5:03:00he learned that he could disagree
5:03:02without being disagreeable
5:03:04he awakened to the simple truth that it
5:03:06is never what some other person says or
5:03:09does that affects him
5:03:10rather it is his own reaction to what is
5:03:13said or done that matters
5:03:15this explanation helped this man achieve
5:03:18a cure
5:03:19he realized that with a little practice
5:03:21he could Master his morning Tantrums
5:03:24his wife later told me that he
5:03:26eventually learned to laugh at what the
5:03:28columnists he so disliked had to say
5:03:31he also learned to laugh at himself for
5:03:33reacting to strongly
5:03:35the newspaper articles no longer have
5:03:37power to disturb annoy and irritate him
5:03:41his hypertension is under control as a
5:03:44result of his increased emotional Poise
5:03:46and serenity
5:03:48Cynthia R was an executive secretary
5:03:50with a large corporation
5:03:52she came to me because she felt very
5:03:55bitter towards some of the girls in her
5:03:57office
5:03:58she believed they were gossiping about
5:04:00her and as she said spreading vicious
5:04:03lies about her
5:04:04when I asked her she admitted that she
5:04:07had many problems in her relations with
5:04:09other women
5:04:10did not like women
5:04:12she said I hate women but I like men
5:04:16as I continue to talk to her I
5:04:18discovered that she spoke to the people
5:04:20she supervised in a very haughty
5:04:22imperious and irritable tone of voice
5:04:25there was a certain pomposity in her way
5:04:28of speaking and I could see where her
5:04:30tone of voice would affect some people
5:04:32unpleasantly
5:04:33she did not realize this
5:04:36for her the important point is that her
5:04:39co-workers took Delight in making things
5:04:41difficult for her
5:04:42if all the people in your office or
5:04:44factory annoy you isn't it possible that
5:04:47this annoyance and turmoil may be due to
5:04:50some subconscious pattern or mental
5:04:52projection that is coming from you
5:04:54we all know that a dog will react
5:04:56ferociously if you hate or fear dogs
5:04:59animals pick up your subconscious
5:05:01vibrations and react accordingly
5:05:04is it so outrageous to say that human
5:05:07beings are just as sensitive as dogs
5:05:09cats and other animals in this regard
5:05:12to this woman who hated women I
5:05:15suggested a process of Prayer
5:05:17I explained to her that when she began
5:05:19to identify herself with spiritual
5:05:21values and commenced to affirm the
5:05:23truths of Life her hatred of women would
5:05:26completely disappear along with the
5:05:27vocal patterns and mannerisms that
5:05:29communicated that hatred to others
5:05:32she was surprised to know that the
5:05:34emotions show up in our speech actions
5:05:37writings and in all phases of his life
5:05:40as a result of our conversation Cynthia
5:05:43stopped behaving in her typical
5:05:45resentful and angry way
5:05:48she established a pattern of prayer that
5:05:50she practiced regularly systematically
5:05:52and conscientiously in the office
5:05:55this was the prayer she used with such
5:05:57success
5:05:59I think speak and act lovingly quietly
5:06:03peacefully
5:06:04I now radiate love peace tolerance and
5:06:08kindliness to all those who criticized
5:06:10me and gossiped about me
5:06:12I anchor my thoughts on peace Harmony
5:06:15and Goodwill to all
5:06:17whenever I am about to react negatively
5:06:19I say firmly to myself I think speak and
5:06:23act from the standpoint of the principle
5:06:25of Harmony Health and peace Within
5:06:27Myself
5:06:29creative intelligence leads rules and
5:06:32guides me in all my ways
5:06:34the practice of this prayer transformed
5:06:37her life and she found that the
5:06:38atmosphere of criticism and annoyance
5:06:40gradually disappeared
5:06:42her co-workers became friends and
5:06:45companions along life's journey
5:06:48she discovered the truth that there is
5:06:50no one to change but ourselves
5:06:53one day Jim s a sales representative
5:06:55came to see me
5:06:58he was deeply upset by the difficulties
5:07:00in working with the sales manager of his
5:07:02organization
5:07:04Jim had been with the company 10 years
5:07:06without receiving any promotion or
5:07:08recognition of any kind
5:07:10he showed me his sales figures
5:07:13I could easily see that they were higher
5:07:16proportionally than those of the other
5:07:17sales representatives in the territory
5:07:20his explanation was that the sales
5:07:22manager did not like him
5:07:25he claimed that he was unjustly treated
5:07:28at conferences the manager ridiculed his
5:07:30suggestions and at times was actively
5:07:33rude to him
5:07:34after discussing his situation in
5:07:36Greater detail I suggested to Jim that
5:07:39the cause was to a great degree within
5:07:41himself
5:07:42his concept and belief about his
5:07:44Superior bore witness to the reaction of
5:07:46this man
5:07:48the measure we meet shall be measured to
5:07:50us again
5:07:51Jim's mental measure or concept of the
5:07:54sales manager was that he was mean
5:07:55Prejudiced and cantankerous
5:07:58Jim was filled with bitterness and
5:08:00hostility toward the executive
5:08:03on his way to work he conducted a
5:08:05vigorous conversation with himself
5:08:07filled with criticism mental arguments
5:08:09recriminations and denunciations of this
5:08:12sales manager
5:08:14what Jim have out mentally he was
5:08:16inevitably bound to get back
5:08:19by the end of our conversation Jim
5:08:21realized that his inner speech was
5:08:23highly destructive
5:08:25the intensity and force of his silent
5:08:27thoughts and emotions the mental
5:08:29condemnation and vilification of the
5:08:31sales manager that he rehearsed entered
5:08:33into his own subconscious mind
5:08:36this brought about the negative response
5:08:38from his boss as well as creating other
5:08:41personal physical and emotional
5:08:43disorders
5:08:44at my urging Jim began to pray
5:08:47frequently as follows
5:08:49I am the only thinker in my universe
5:08:52I am responsible for what I think about
5:08:54my boss
5:08:56my sales manager is not responsible for
5:08:59the way I think about him
5:09:01I refuse to give power to any person
5:09:03place or thing to annoy me or disturb me
5:09:07I wish Health success peace of mind and
5:09:11happiness for my boss
5:09:13I sincerely wish him well and I know he
5:09:16is divinely guided in all his ways
5:09:19he repeated this prayer out loud slowly
5:09:21quietly and feelingly knowing that his
5:09:24subconscious mind is like a garden
5:09:26whatever he plants in the garden will
5:09:28come for the like seeds after their kind
5:09:31I also taught him to practice
5:09:32visualization or mental imagery prior to
5:09:35sleep
5:09:36he created a scenario in which his
5:09:39Superior congratulated him on his work
5:09:41praised his seal and enthusiasm and
5:09:43remarked on the wonderful response he
5:09:45obtained from customers
5:09:47he felt the reality of all this
5:09:50he felt his boss's handshake heard the
5:09:53tone of his voice and saw him smile
5:09:56he made a real mental movie dramatizing
5:09:59it to the best of his ability
5:10:01night after night he replayed this
5:10:03mental movie knowing that his
5:10:05subconscious mind was the receptive
5:10:07medium one which his conscious imagery
5:10:09would be impressed
5:10:10gradually by a process of what we can
5:10:13think of as mental and spiritual osmosis
5:10:15the impression was made on his
5:10:17subconscious mind
5:10:19the expression automatically came forth
5:10:22Jim's sales manager subsequently called
5:10:25him up to San Francisco congratulated
5:10:27him and gave him a promotion to division
5:10:30sales manage with greatly increased
5:10:32responsibilities and a substantial rise
5:10:35in salary
5:10:36once Jim changed his concept and
5:10:39estimate of his boss his subconscious
5:10:41mind saw to it that his boss responded
5:10:43accordingly
5:10:45what someone else says cannot really
5:10:47annoy or irritate you unless you permit
5:10:49it to disturb you
5:10:51the only path by which another person
5:10:53can upset you is through your own
5:10:55thought
5:10:56if you get angry you have to go through
5:10:58four stages in your mind
5:11:01you begin to think about what he said
5:11:03you decide to get angry and generate an
5:11:06emotion of Rage
5:11:08then you decide to act
5:11:11perhaps you talk back and react in kind
5:11:15as you see the thought emotion reaction
5:11:17and action all take place in your mind
5:11:21when does it mean to be emotionally
5:11:22mature
5:11:24it means that you move beyond the
5:11:26natural but childish tendency to respond
5:11:29negatively to the criticism and
5:11:30resentment of others
5:11:32no one likes to be criticized or
5:11:34belittled
5:11:36however we have the ability to choose
5:11:38how to react when it happens
5:11:40the mature choice is to refrain from
5:11:43responding in a similarly negative way
5:11:46responding in kind means to descend it
5:11:48to the level of belittling criticism and
5:11:50to become one with the negative
5:11:51atmosphere of the other
5:11:54identify yourself with your own aim in
5:11:56life
5:11:57do not permit any person place or thing
5:12:00to deflect you from your inner sense of
5:12:02peace and Tranquility radiant health
5:12:05Sigmund Freud the founder of
5:12:08psychoanalysis and one of the most
5:12:09important figures in the history of
5:12:11psychology said that unless the
5:12:13personality has love it sickens and dies
5:12:17love includes understanding Goodwill and
5:12:20respect for the Divinity in the other
5:12:22person
5:12:23the more love and good will you emanate
5:12:25and exude the more comes back to you
5:12:28if you puncture someone else's ego and
5:12:30wound her estimate of herself you cannot
5:12:33gain her Goodwill
5:12:34recognize that everyone wants to be
5:12:37loved and appreciated
5:12:39everyone needs to feel important in the
5:12:41world
5:12:42realize that the other person is
5:12:44conscious of her true worth
5:12:46like yourself she feels the Dignity of
5:12:49being an expression of the one life
5:12:51principle animating how people
5:12:53as you do this consciously and knowingly
5:12:56you build up the other person and she
5:12:58returns Your Love in Goodwill
5:13:00Marie C had always dreamed of being an
5:13:03actress
5:13:04she studied theater in college then had
5:13:07the Good Fortune to be hired by an
5:13:09important regional theater company in a
5:13:11part of country she did not know at all
5:13:14the first time she performed with the
5:13:16company the audience booed her
5:13:18this made and angry she decided that the
5:13:21people of that region were stupid
5:13:23ignorant and backward
5:13:25she hated them all
5:13:27after a miserable time she was dropped
5:13:30from the company
5:13:31she moved back to the area where she had
5:13:34grown up and left the stage to work as a
5:13:36waitress
5:13:37one day a friend invited her to hear a
5:13:40lecture in town hall in New York City
5:13:43the topic was how to get along with
5:13:45ourselves
5:13:47this lecture changed her life
5:13:49she began to see that she had
5:13:51overreacted to her early experience with
5:13:54the regional company she admitted to
5:13:55herself that the play she had been in
5:13:57that first time was not good and that as
5:13:59a new member of the company she had
5:14:01probably not been at her best
5:14:04the fault did not lie with the people in
5:14:06the audience but with the way she
5:14:08accepted their reaction then turned it
5:14:10back on them in the form of negative
5:14:12energy
5:14:13Marie decided to return to the stage and
5:14:15to her lifelong dream of being an
5:14:17actress
5:14:18she began to pray sincerely for the
5:14:21audience and for himself
5:14:23she poured out love and Goodwill every
5:14:25night before stepping onto the stage
5:14:28she made it a habit to claim that the
5:14:31peace of God filled the hearts of all
5:14:32present and that our present were lifted
5:14:35up and inspired
5:14:36during each performance he sent out love
5:14:39vibrations to the audience
5:14:41today she has an important career in
5:14:44theater
5:14:45she transmits her Goodwill and esteem to
5:14:48others and they return her in kind
5:14:51it should not come as a surprise that
5:14:53some people in the world are difficult
5:14:56they are twisted and distorted mentally
5:14:59they are Mal conditioned
5:15:01many are mental delinquents who have
5:15:03become argumentative uncooperative
5:15:06cantankerous cynical and sour on life
5:15:10they are sick psychologically
5:15:13their minds have become deformed and
5:15:15distorted perhaps because of experiences
5:15:17they have had in the past
5:15:20what do you do when you have to deal
5:15:21with someone like this
5:15:23the Temptation is to run their negative
5:15:25energy back on them in the form of
5:15:27dislike
5:15:29but to do that you first have to take
5:15:31their negativity into yourself with all
5:15:34the bad effects that will have on your
5:15:35own being
5:15:37strive instead to return good for evil
5:15:40this creates an armor that keeps the
5:15:43difficult and unpleasant attitudes from
5:15:45affecting you and your transmission of
5:15:47compassion and understanding will set in
5:15:49motion the process of changing them
5:15:51the hateful frustrated distorted and
5:15:54twisted personality is Out Of Tune with
5:15:57the infinite
5:15:58he resents those who are peaceful happy
5:16:01and joyous
5:16:02usually he criticizes condemns and
5:16:06vilifies those who have been very good
5:16:07and kind to him
5:16:09his attitude is this why should they be
5:16:12so happy when he is so miserable
5:16:15he wants to drag them down to his own
5:16:17level
5:16:18the old saying is still true that misery
5:16:21loves company
5:16:23once you understand this you remain
5:16:25unmoved calm and dispassionate
5:16:29a man named Bruce T who attended my
5:16:31lectures told me of his experience with
5:16:33this process
5:16:35he had become active volunteer
5:16:37organization that was concerned with
5:16:39beautifying the community where he lived
5:16:41most of the volunteers were genuinely
5:16:44interested in working on planting
5:16:45gardens sprucing up run down areas and
5:16:48repairing dilapidated buildings
5:16:51one member however opposed every measure
5:16:54that anyone suggested
5:16:56more than that he constantly attacked
5:16:58the motives of the others
5:17:00he made the meetings of groups so
5:17:02unpleasant that attendance began to
5:17:04decline
5:17:06some of the other members came to Bruce
5:17:09they suggested that they band together
5:17:11and expel the Grouch from the
5:17:13organization
5:17:14he was about to go along with this plan
5:17:16when he realized that to do so would be
5:17:18to perpetuate the man's Twisted
5:17:20attitudes within himself
5:17:22instead he began to visualize the man
5:17:25changing into a pleasant Co-operative
5:17:28member of the group
5:17:30before each meeting Bruce went into a
5:17:32quiet corner and repeated
5:17:34I think speak and act in true Accord
5:17:37with the principles of Harmony and peace
5:17:39with myself
5:17:41all who bind themselves to the goals of
5:17:43our organization do so with kindness and
5:17:46purpose in divine order
5:17:48there is no Discord no unpleasantness
5:17:52creative intelligence leads rules and
5:17:55guides Us in all we do
5:17:57after several weeks the man who had
5:17:59caused so much trouble proposed a new
5:18:01initiative
5:18:03he presented it in such an agreeable and
5:18:05Cooperative manner that he won the
5:18:07approval of everyone else in the
5:18:08organization including those who had
5:18:11wanted to kick him out
5:18:13a young woman Alice oh visited me
5:18:15recently
5:18:17she told me that she had long hated
5:18:19another young woman in the office where
5:18:21she worked
5:18:22her reason was that the other woman was
5:18:24prettier happier and more prosperous
5:18:27than she
5:18:28the crowning blow came when The Other
5:18:30Woman became engaged to the CEO of the
5:18:33company whom Alice had long admired
5:18:36one day after the marriage took place
5:18:38the woman whom she so disliked came in
5:18:41to work her daughter from a previous
5:18:42marriage
5:18:44Alice had not known her co-worker had a
5:18:46child or even that he had been married
5:18:48before
5:18:49because of A congenital problem the
5:18:51woman's daughter wore a steel leg brace
5:18:54Alice overheard her say to her mother
5:18:57mommy is this where my new daddy works
5:18:59too
5:19:00I love this place because it is so full
5:19:03of people I love
5:19:05my heart went out to that little and
5:19:07girl Alice told me
5:19:09I knew how happy she must feel
5:19:12I got a vision of how happy this woman
5:19:14was against odds I had not even known
5:19:17about
5:19:18all of a sudden I felt love for her
5:19:21I went into her office and wished her
5:19:23all the happiness in the world and I
5:19:25meant it
5:19:26in that moment Alice experienced that
5:19:29psychologists call empathy
5:19:31this is not the same thing as sympathy
5:19:34in which we understand the feelings of
5:19:36others
5:19:37it is more
5:19:39I means imaginatively projecting
5:19:41yourself into the mental attitudes and
5:19:43states of the other person
5:19:45when Alice projected her mental mood or
5:19:48the feeling of her heart into that of
5:19:49The Other Woman it was as if she began
5:19:51to Think Through the other woman's
5:19:53experience
5:19:55she was thinking and feeling as the
5:19:57other woman and also as the child
5:19:59because she likewise had projected
5:20:01herself into the mind of the child
5:20:04anytime you feel tempted to injure or
5:20:06think ill of another project yourself
5:20:08mentally into the mind of Moses and
5:20:10think from the standpoint of the Ten
5:20:12Commandments
5:20:13if you are prone to be envious jealous
5:20:16or angry project yourself into the mind
5:20:18of Jesus and think from that standpoint
5:20:20and you will feel the truth of the words
5:20:22love ye one another
5:20:25do not permit people to take advantage
5:20:27of you and gain their point by temper
5:20:29tantrums crying Jags or other forms of
5:20:32emotional blackmail
5:20:34these people are dictators who try to
5:20:36enslave you and make you do their
5:20:38bidding
5:20:39be firm but kind and refuse to yield
5:20:43appeasement never wins
5:20:45refuse to contribute to their
5:20:47delinquency selfishness and
5:20:49possessiveness
5:20:51remember do that which is right
5:20:54you are here to fulfill your ideal and
5:20:56remain true to the Eternal verities and
5:20:59spiritual values of Life which are
5:21:01eternal
5:21:02give no one in all the world the power
5:21:04to deflect you from your goal your aim
5:21:06in life which is to express your hidden
5:21:09talents to the world to serve humanity
5:21:11and to reveal more and more of God's
5:21:13wisdom truth and Beauty to all people in
5:21:16the world
5:21:17remain true to your ideal
5:21:20no definitely and absolutely that
5:21:22whatever contributes to your peace
5:21:24happiness and fulfillment must have
5:21:27necessity bless our men who walk the
5:21:29earth
5:21:30the harmony of the part is the harmony
5:21:32of the whole for the whole is in the
5:21:34part and the part is in the hole
5:21:37all you owe the other as Paul says is
5:21:40love and love is the fulfilling of the
5:21:43law of health happiness and peace of
5:21:45mind
5:21:48chapter 17.
5:21:51how to use your subconscious for
5:21:53forgiveness
5:21:54life plays no favorites
5:21:57God is life and this life principle is
5:22:00flowing through you this moment
5:22:02God loves to express himself as Harmony
5:22:04peace Beauty joy and abundance through
5:22:08you
5:22:09this is called the will of God for the
5:22:11tendency of life
5:22:13if you set up resistance in your mind to
5:22:15the flow of life through you this
5:22:17emotional congestion will snarl up your
5:22:19subconscious mind and cause all kinds of
5:22:22negative conditions
5:22:23God has nothing to do with the unhappy
5:22:26or chaotic conditions in the world
5:22:29all these conditions are brought about
5:22:31by the negative and destructive thinking
5:22:33of our species
5:22:35therefore it is a serious mistake to
5:22:37blame God for your trouble or sickness
5:22:40many persons habitually set up mental
5:22:43resistance to the flow of Life by
5:22:45accusing reproaching God for the sin
5:22:47sickness and suffering of mankind
5:22:51others cast the blame on God for their
5:22:53pains aches loss of loved ones personal
5:22:56tragedies and accidents
5:22:59they are angry at God and they believe
5:23:01he is responsible for their misery
5:23:04as long as people entertain such
5:23:06negative Concepts about God they will
5:23:08experience the automatic negative
5:23:10reactions from their subconscious Minds
5:23:13what they fail to understand is that
5:23:16they are punishing themselves
5:23:18they must see the truth find release and
5:23:21give up all condemnation resentment and
5:23:24anger against anyone or any power
5:23:26outside themselves
5:23:28otherwise they cannot go forward into a
5:23:31healthy happy or creative activity
5:23:34at the instant these people entertain a
5:23:36god of love in their minds and hearts at
5:23:39the instant they believe that God is a
5:23:41loving father who watches over them
5:23:43cares for them guides them sustains and
5:23:46strengthens them this concept and belief
5:23:48about God or the life principle will be
5:23:50accepted by their subconscious mind and
5:23:53they will find themselves blessed in
5:23:55countless ways
5:23:56the life principle holds a bottomless
5:23:59fund of forgiveness for you
5:24:01it forgives you when you cut your finger
5:24:04the subconscious intelligence within you
5:24:06sets about immediately to repair it
5:24:09new cells build bridges over the cup
5:24:12if you contract some infection from a
5:24:14harmful organism life forgives you and
5:24:17sets about surrounding and annihilating
5:24:19the invader
5:24:20if you burn your hand the life principle
5:24:23reduces the edema and congestion and
5:24:25gives you new skin tissue and cells
5:24:29life holds no grudges against you
5:24:32it is always forgiving you
5:24:34life brings you back to health Vitality
5:24:37Harmony and peace if you cooperate by
5:24:40thinking in harmony with nature
5:24:43negative hurtful memories bitterness and
5:24:46ill will clutter up and impede the free
5:24:48flow of the life principle in you
5:24:50Harriet G worked late at the office
5:24:52every day
5:24:54she often did not go home under after
5:24:56midnight
5:24:58she expected that her superiors and
5:25:00co-workers would Pat her on the back
5:25:02because she worked so hard
5:25:04they didn't
5:25:06since she was usually the only one to
5:25:08stay so late the others didn't even know
5:25:11about her unusual devotion
5:25:13meanwhile her family life was in serious
5:25:16trouble
5:25:17her husband and two sons hardly knew
5:25:20what she looked like
5:25:21when her younger son's Little League
5:25:23team made the local playoffs Harriet not
5:25:26only missed the game she even forgot to
5:25:28ask who won
5:25:30to top it off Harriet's doctor warned
5:25:33her that she was developing high blood
5:25:34pressure
5:25:36Harriet came to talk to me after her
5:25:38husband told her he wanted separation
5:25:41I asked her why she shut her husband out
5:25:43of her life and showed so little
5:25:45interest in her voice
5:25:47At first she tried to say she had to
5:25:49work so hard just to keep up with her
5:25:51job
5:25:52I asked her if her co-workers put in as
5:25:55much time as she did
5:25:57no she admitted the others in her
5:26:00company kept pretty normal hours and
5:26:02they were not any better at the job than
5:26:04she was
5:26:06I suggested to her why she was working
5:26:08so arduously
5:26:10there is something eating you inside I
5:26:12told her
5:26:14if there weren't you would not act this
5:26:16way
5:26:17you are punishing yourself for something
5:26:20for a while she resisted this suggestion
5:26:24she kept trying to say that her working
5:26:25habits were normal that other people
5:26:28were lazy
5:26:29finally however she admitted that she
5:26:32had a deep sense of guilt
5:26:3415 years earlier after her father died
5:26:37she had served as executor of the estate
5:26:40she had deliberately kept from turning
5:26:42over a large sum of money to her younger
5:26:44brother
5:26:46why did you do that
5:26:48I asked
5:26:49was it a question of greed
5:26:52of course not she replied
5:26:55my brother well he had a terrible drug
5:26:57problem
5:26:59I knew what would happen to the money if
5:27:01I turned it over to him
5:27:03I told myself I was saving it for him
5:27:05for when he got himself straightened out
5:27:08and
5:27:10I probed
5:27:11Harriet took a deep breath
5:27:14it never happened
5:27:16he killed himself
5:27:18maybe he didn't do it on purpose but it
5:27:21came to the same thing
5:27:23he was only 26.
5:27:25I keep thinking what if I hadn't kept
5:27:28the money
5:27:29maybe he could have used it to go into
5:27:31some kind of rehab program
5:27:33he might still be with us
5:27:35it's my fault he's dead
5:27:38I asked her if you had it to do over
5:27:40again what would you do
5:27:42I don't know she said shaking her head
5:27:46but I know I try harder to help my
5:27:48brother instead of being down on him
5:27:50because he had a problem
5:27:52but at the time did you feel you were
5:27:55Justified
5:27:56I asked
5:27:58did you feel you were doing the right
5:27:59thing
5:28:01sure she told me
5:28:03but now I'm sure it was wrong
5:28:06that money wasn't mine
5:28:08so you would not do it now
5:28:10I wouldn't she replied
5:28:13her face grew Stern
5:28:16but that doesn't matter
5:28:18I can never be forgiven for what I did
5:28:21I stole from my only brother and he died
5:28:25it's only right that God should punish
5:28:27me
5:28:28I deserve it
5:28:30I explained to her that God was not
5:28:32punishing her
5:28:34she was punishing herself
5:28:36if you misuse the laws of life you will
5:28:39suffer accordingly
5:28:41if you put your hand on a naked charged
5:28:43wire you will get a shock
5:28:45the forces of nature are not evil it is
5:28:48your use of them that determines whether
5:28:50they have a good or evil effect
5:28:52electricity is not evil it depends on
5:28:55whether you use it to light up a home or
5:28:57give someone a fatal shock
5:29:00the only sin is ignorance of the law and
5:29:03the only punishment is the automatic
5:29:05reaction of people's misuse of the law
5:29:08if you misuse the principle of chemistry
5:29:10you may blow up the office or the
5:29:12factory
5:29:13if you strike your hand on a board you
5:29:16may cause your hand to bleed
5:29:18the board is not at fault
5:29:21the fault lies with your misuse of it
5:29:24eventually I helped Harriet realize that
5:29:26God does not condemn or punish anyone
5:29:29all her suffering was to the reaction of
5:29:31her subconscious mind to her own
5:29:33negative and destructive thinking
5:29:36what she needed was forgiveness but the
5:29:38true meaning of forgiveness is to
5:29:40forgive yourself
5:29:42forgiveness is getting your thoughts in
5:29:44line with the Divine Law of Harmony
5:29:47self-condemnation is called hell bondage
5:29:50and restriction forgiveness is called
5:29:52Heaven Harmony and peace
5:29:55the burden of guilt and
5:29:56self-condemnation was lifted from her
5:29:58mind and she had a complete healing
5:30:01the next time she had a checkup her
5:30:03blood pressure had become normal
5:30:06the explanation was The Cure
5:30:08Arthur o murdered a man in Europe many
5:30:11years ago
5:30:13when he came to me he was suffering from
5:30:15great mental anguish and torture
5:30:18he believed that God must punish him for
5:30:20his terrible deed
5:30:22I asked him what had happened
5:30:25he explained that he found out that the
5:30:27other man was having an affair with his
5:30:29wife
5:30:30he had come upon them unexpectedly as he
5:30:33returned from hunting and shot the man
5:30:35in a moment of mad rage
5:30:37the legal system did not take a very
5:30:40harsh view of his deed he had to serve
5:30:42only a few months in prison
5:30:45when he was released from jail Arthur
5:30:47divorced his wife and emigrated to the
5:30:49United States
5:30:51after several years he met and married
5:30:53an American woman
5:30:55he and his wife have been blessed with
5:30:57three lovely children
5:30:59he has made a successful career in a
5:31:02field where he is in a position to help
5:31:04many people
5:31:05his colleagues like and respect him
5:31:08none of this seems to help
5:31:10all this time later he still blames
5:31:13himself for what he did
5:31:15after hearing Arthur's story I explained
5:31:18to him that scientists tell us every
5:31:20cell of our bodies is replaced every 11
5:31:22months
5:31:23both physically and psychologically we
5:31:26was no longer the same man who had
5:31:28committed the murder and he had not been
5:31:30for many years
5:31:32moreover mentally he had clearly
5:31:34transformed himself both mentally and
5:31:36spiritually
5:31:38he was now full of love and Goodwill for
5:31:40Humanity
5:31:42the person who committed the crime years
5:31:44before was long since mentally and
5:31:46spiritually dead
5:31:48in refusing to forgive himself Arthur
5:31:51was condemning an innocent man
5:31:53this explanation had a profound effect
5:31:55upon him
5:31:57he said it was as if a great weight had
5:31:59been lifted from his mind
5:32:01he realized the significance of the
5:32:03following truth in the Bible
5:32:05come now let us reason together said the
5:32:08Lord though your sins be a Scarlet they
5:32:11shall be as white as snow though they be
5:32:13red like Crimson they shall be as wool
5:32:16Isaiah 1 18.
5:32:19a schoolteacher named Ramona K came to
5:32:21me after a lecture
5:32:23she told me that recently she had had to
5:32:26give a speech
5:32:27afterward one of her fellow teachers
5:32:30sent a note full of criticism
5:32:32she said that Ramona spoke too fast she
5:32:35swallowed some of her words and couldn't
5:32:37be heard
5:32:38prediction was poor and her text rambled
5:32:42Ramona was hurt and angry
5:32:45she felt deep resentment toward her
5:32:47critic and tried to avoid any contact
5:32:49with her at school
5:32:51when I questioned her Ramona eventually
5:32:53admitted that she deserved many of the
5:32:55criticisms
5:32:57she was not experienced at speaking to
5:32:59an adult audience
5:33:01she had been nervous beforehand and
5:33:04afterwards she was simply glad that she
5:33:06had gotten through it
5:33:07that was the reason she had been so
5:33:09wounded by her co-workers criticisms
5:33:12it was as if somebody had blasted a
5:33:15toddler for not running fast enough when
5:33:17simple managing to walk was an amazing
5:33:19feat
5:33:21as we talked Ramona began to see that
5:33:24her first reaction was childish
5:33:26she came to agree that the letter was
5:33:28really a blessing and a much needed
5:33:30corrective
5:33:32she decided to perfect her lecturing
5:33:34skills by signing up for a course in
5:33:36public speaking at a nearby College
5:33:39in the meantime she called up the writer
5:33:41of the note for thank her for her
5:33:43interest and input
5:33:45what if the letter Ramona received was
5:33:47totally incorrect
5:33:49what if she had good reason to think
5:33:51that the criticisms It Made For Her
5:33:52speech were simply wrong
5:33:54in that case Ramona would have to
5:33:57realize that something Her speech
5:33:58whether it's manner or its content had
5:34:01upset the prejudices superstitions or
5:34:04narrow sectarian beliefs of the writer
5:34:06of the notes writer
5:34:08to understand this is to take an
5:34:10essential first step toward compassion
5:34:12the next logical step would be to pray
5:34:14for the other person's peace Harmony and
5:34:17understanding
5:34:19you cannot be hurt when you know that
5:34:21you are master of your thoughts
5:34:22reactions and emotions
5:34:25emotions follow thoughts and you have
5:34:28the power to reject all thoughts that
5:34:30may disturb or upset you
5:34:32some years ago I was asked to perform a
5:34:35marriage ceremony at a nearby Church
5:34:37the young man did not appear
5:34:40at the end of two hours the would-be
5:34:42bride shed a few tears
5:34:45she then said to me I prayed for divine
5:34:48guidance
5:34:49this may be the answer to my prayer for
5:34:52he never faileth
5:34:53her reaction was to restate her faith in
5:34:56God and how things good
5:34:58she had no bitterness in her heart
5:35:00because as she said much as I longed for
5:35:03it I think this marriage must not have
5:35:05been right action because my prayer was
5:35:07for right action not just for me but for
5:35:09both of us
5:35:11thing young woman sailed serenely
5:35:13through an experience that might have
5:35:15sent another person into an emotional
5:35:17tailspin
5:35:18tune in with the infinite intelligence
5:35:20within your subconscious depths
5:35:23trust the answer as unquestioningly as
5:35:25you trusted your mother and Faith when
5:35:27they held you in their arms
5:35:29this is the high road to Poise and
5:35:31mental and emotional health
5:35:34a young woman who heard me speak came up
5:35:36to me afterward
5:35:38she told me her name was Carol
5:35:41I was struck by her appearance
5:35:43she wore a plain black dress and black
5:35:46stockings
5:35:47her face was pale and Bland without a
5:35:50single Touch of lipstick or other makeup
5:35:53her manner too was subdued yet somehow
5:35:56watchful as if she imagined that those
5:35:58around her might start acting in an
5:36:00outrageous way
5:36:02soon Carol was telling me about her
5:36:04upbringing
5:36:05she was raised by her mother who taught
5:36:08her to believe that it was a sin to
5:36:09dance to play cards to swim or to go out
5:36:13with men
5:36:14according to her mother all men were
5:36:17evil
5:36:18sex was nothing but debauchery inspired
5:36:21by the devil
5:36:22if she disobeyed these Commandments if
5:36:25she failed to follow them exactly to the
5:36:27letter she would burn eternally in hell
5:36:30when Carol went out with young men in
5:36:32the office where she worked she felt a
5:36:34deep sense of guilt
5:36:36she was convinced that God would punish
5:36:39her
5:36:40a young man she felt close to her to
5:36:42marry him but she refused
5:36:45as she had said to me it is wrong to
5:36:47marry sex is evil and I am evil
5:36:50this was her early conditioning speaking
5:36:53of course this young woman felt full of
5:36:56guilt
5:36:57how could she not
5:36:59it was impossible for her to live up to
5:37:01her mother's belief
5:37:03it was impossible to avoid the thought
5:37:05that there was something wrong with
5:37:07those beliefs
5:37:09the life principle that flows through
5:37:11all of us was struggling for recognition
5:37:13and expression
5:37:14I suggested to Carol that she tried to
5:37:17learn how to forgive herself as she was
5:37:19to forgive means to give for
5:37:22she had to give up all these false
5:37:24beliefs for the truths of life and a new
5:37:26estimate of herself
5:37:28at my suggestion Carol began to wear
5:37:31more attractive clothes
5:37:33she visited the Cosmetics Department of
5:37:36a downtown store for a free
5:37:37comprehensive makeover
5:37:40she took dancing lessons and learned to
5:37:42drive
5:37:43she also learns to swim to play cards
5:37:46and to talk with young men
5:37:48she broke away completely from her
5:37:50family and began to love and value life
5:37:53as Carol discovered her inner nature she
5:37:56began to pray for a companion by
5:37:58claiming that infinite Spirit would
5:38:00attract to her a man who harmonized with
5:38:02her thoroughly
5:38:03one evening as she left my office a man
5:38:06was waiting to see me
5:38:08I casually introduced them
5:38:11six months later they were married
5:38:14they are still married and happy with
5:38:16one another
5:38:17and when you stand praying forgive if ye
5:38:20have ought against any
5:38:22Mark 11 25
5:38:25forgiveness of others is essential to
5:38:27mental peace and radiant health
5:38:30you must forgive everyone who has ever
5:38:32hurt you if you want perfect health and
5:38:34happiness
5:38:36forgive yourself by getting your
5:38:37thoughts in harmony with Divine Law and
5:38:39Order
5:38:40you cannot really forgive yourself
5:38:42completely until you have forgiven
5:38:44others first
5:38:46to refuse to forgive yourself is nothing
5:38:48more or less than spiritual Pride or
5:38:51ignorance
5:38:52in the psychosomatic field of medicine
5:38:54today it is being constantly stressed
5:38:57that resentment condemnation of others
5:38:59remorse and hostility are behind a host
5:39:02of maladies ranging from arthritis to
5:39:04cardiac disease
5:39:06the stress caused by these negative
5:39:08emotions can directly affect the immune
5:39:11system of the body leaving you open to
5:39:13infection and disease
5:39:15specialists in stress-related disorders
5:39:17point out that people who were hurt
5:39:19mistreated deceived or injured often
5:39:22react by filling themselves with
5:39:24resentment and hatred for those who Hut
5:39:26them
5:39:27this reaction causes inflamed
5:39:29infestering wounds in their subconscious
5:39:31Minds
5:39:33there is only one remedy
5:39:35they have to cut out and discard their
5:39:37hurts and the one and only sure way is
5:39:40by forgiveness
5:39:41the essential ingredient in the art of
5:39:44forgiveness is the willingness to
5:39:45forgive
5:39:47if you sincerely desire to forgive the
5:39:49other you are more than halfway over the
5:39:51hurdle
5:39:52of course you understand that to forgive
5:39:55the other does not necessarily mean that
5:39:57you like him or want to associate with
5:39:59him or her
5:40:01you cannot be compelled to like someone
5:40:03that would be as if the government tried
5:40:06to legislate Goodwill love peace or
5:40:08tolerance
5:40:10you are not going to like a person
5:40:12simply because someone orders you to do
5:40:14so
5:40:15however and this is a crucial point we
5:40:18can however love people without liking
5:40:20them
5:40:21the Bible says love ye one another
5:40:24impossible as this may sound at first
5:40:27anyone can do it who really wants to do
5:40:29it
5:40:30love means that you wish for the other
5:40:32health happiness peace joy and all the
5:40:36blessings of life
5:40:37there is only one prerequisite and that
5:40:40is sincerity
5:40:41you are not being magnanimous when you
5:40:44forgive you are really being selfish
5:40:46because what you wish for the other you
5:40:48are actually wishing for yourself
5:40:51the reason is that you are thinking it
5:40:53and you are feeling it
5:40:55as you think and feel so are you
5:40:58could anything be simpler than that
5:41:00here is a simple but effective method to
5:41:03bring about forgiveness in yourself
5:41:05it will work wonders in your life as you
5:41:08practice it
5:41:09quiet your mind relax and let go
5:41:13think of God and his love for you and
5:41:15then affirm
5:41:17I fully and freely forgive think of the
5:41:20name of the offender
5:41:21I release him her mentally and
5:41:24spiritually
5:41:25I completely forgive everything
5:41:27connected with the matter in question
5:41:30I am free and he she is free
5:41:34it is a marvelous feeling
5:41:37this is my day of General amnesty
5:41:40I release anybody and everybody who has
5:41:42ever hurt me and I wish for each and
5:41:44everyone health happiness peace and all
5:41:48the blessings of life
5:41:49I do this freely joyously and lovingly
5:41:53whenever I think of the person or
5:41:55persons who hurt me I say I have
5:41:58released you and all the blessings of
5:42:00Life are yours
5:42:02I am free and they are free
5:42:05it is wonderful
5:42:07the great secret of true forgiveness is
5:42:09that once you have forgiven the person
5:42:11it is unnecessary to repeat the prayer
5:42:14whenever the person comes to your mind
5:42:16or the particular hurt happens to enter
5:42:18your mind wish the delinquent well and
5:42:21say peace be unto you
5:42:24do this as often as the thought enters
5:42:26your mind
5:42:27you will find that after a few days the
5:42:29thought of the person or experience will
5:42:31return less and less often until it
5:42:34fades into nothingness
5:42:36Prospectors and Jewelers use what is
5:42:38called an asset test to tell if a metal
5:42:40is real gold or an imitation
5:42:43there is an acid test for gold
5:42:46there is also an acid test for
5:42:48forgiveness 2.
5:42:50imagine that I tell you something
5:42:52wonderful about someone who has wronged
5:42:54you cheated you or defrauded you
5:42:57if you Sizzle at hearing the good news
5:42:59about this person the roots of hatred
5:43:01would still be in your subconscious mind
5:43:03playing Havoc with you
5:43:06suppose you had a painful dental
5:43:07procedure last year and you tell me
5:43:10about it now
5:43:11if I ask whether you are in pain from it
5:43:13now you would give me an astonished look
5:43:15and say of course not I remember the
5:43:18pain but I don't feel it any longer
5:43:21that is the whole story
5:43:23are you have truly forgiven someone you
5:43:26will remember the incident but you will
5:43:28no longer feel the sting for heard of it
5:43:31this is the acid test or forgiveness
5:43:34you must meet it psychologically and
5:43:37spiritually
5:43:38otherwise you are simply deceiving
5:43:41yourself
5:43:42you are not practicing the true art of
5:43:44forgiveness
5:43:46once you understand the creative law of
5:43:48your own mind you stop blaming other
5:43:51people and conditions for making or
5:43:52marring your life
5:43:54you realize that you own thoughts and
5:43:56feelings create your destiny
5:43:59furthermore you are as aware that
5:44:01externals are not the causes and
5:44:03conditioners of your life and your
5:44:05experiences
5:44:06to think that others can Mar your
5:44:08happiness that you are the football of a
5:44:10cruel fate that you must oppose and
5:44:12fight others for a living all these
5:44:15ideas reveal their destructive nature
5:44:17once you understand that thoughts are
5:44:18things
5:44:19this principle is clearly set forth in
5:44:22the Bible
5:44:23for as a man thinks in his heart so is
5:44:26he
5:44:27Proverbs 23 7.
5:44:31chapter 18.
5:44:34how your subconscious removes mental
5:44:36blocks
5:44:37what can you do if you are faced with a
5:44:40difficult situation and you cannot see
5:44:42your way clear
5:44:43the solution lies within the problem
5:44:46the infinite intelligence within your
5:44:48subconscious mind knows all and sees all
5:44:52it has the answer and is revealing it to
5:44:54you now but you must listen
5:44:57you must follow the urgings of your
5:44:59subconscious mind with perfect
5:45:01confidence
5:45:02once you achieve this attitude then the
5:45:05creative intelligence within you is
5:45:07bringing about a happy solution you will
5:45:09find enable the answer you seek
5:45:11rest assured that such an attitude of
5:45:14mind will bring order peace and meaning
5:45:16to all your undertakings
5:45:18we are all creature of habit
5:45:21habit is a function of our subconscious
5:45:23Minds
5:45:25we learn to swim ride a bicycle Dance
5:45:28and drive a car by consciously doing
5:45:30these things over and over again until
5:45:32they establish tracks in our
5:45:34subconscious Minds
5:45:36then the automatic habit action of your
5:45:39subconscious mind took over
5:45:41this is sometimes referred to as second
5:45:44nature that is the reaction of the
5:45:46subconscious mind to the thinking and
5:45:49acting that makes up our first nature
5:45:51if we create our own habits it follows
5:45:54that we are free to choose
5:45:57good habits or bad habits
5:45:59if you repeat a negative thought or act
5:46:02over a period of time you will place
5:46:04yourself under the compulsion of a habit
5:46:07the law of your subconscious is
5:46:09compulsion
5:46:10when Bob J came to me he was close to
5:46:13despair
5:46:15I've lost my job my wife and my family
5:46:18to drink he told me
5:46:20my wife won't even speak to me on the
5:46:22phone
5:46:23she won't even let me see our daughter
5:46:26I don't know where to turn
5:46:28have you tried to stop drinking
5:46:31I asked
5:46:33of course I have he said
5:46:36lots of times
5:46:38and I have stopped too for a little
5:46:40while
5:46:42then I get an uncontrollable urge and
5:46:44the next thing I know I'm coming off a
5:46:46two-week Bender
5:46:48it's terrible
5:46:50time and again these experiences had
5:46:52occurred to this unfortunate man
5:46:55he realized that binge drinking had
5:46:57become a habit and he saw that he had to
5:46:59change the habit and establish a new one
5:47:02however he continued efforts to suppress
5:47:05his Cravings made matters only worse
5:47:08his repeated failures convinced him that
5:47:10he was hopeless and Powerless to control
5:47:12his urge or Obsession
5:47:15this idea of being powerless operated as
5:47:17a tremendous suggestion to his
5:47:19subconscious mind and aggravated his
5:47:21weakness making his life a succession of
5:47:24failures
5:47:25I taught him to harmonize the functions
5:47:27of the conscious and subconscious mind
5:47:30when these two cooperate the idea or
5:47:33desire implanted in the subconscious
5:47:35mind is realized
5:47:37his reasoning mind agreed that if the
5:47:40old habit path or track had carried him
5:47:42into trouble he could consciously form a
5:47:44new path to Freedom sobriety and peace
5:47:47of mind
5:47:48he knew that while his destructive habit
5:47:51had become automatic he had acquired
5:47:53through his conscious choice
5:47:55he realized that if he had been
5:47:57conditioned negatively he also be
5:47:59conditioned positively
5:48:01as a result he stopped thinking of that
5:48:04he was powerless to overcome the habit
5:48:07he achieved a clear understanding that
5:48:09there was no obstacle to his healing
5:48:10other than his own thought
5:48:12therefore there was no occasion for
5:48:15great mental effort or mental coercion
5:48:18Bob began to make a practice of relaxing
5:48:21his body and getting into a drowsy
5:48:22meditative state
5:48:24then he filled his mind with the picture
5:48:27of the desired end knowing his
5:48:29subconscious mind could bring it about
5:48:30the easiest way
5:48:32he imagined his daughter giving him a
5:48:34welcome hug and saying Oh Daddy it's so
5:48:37wonderful to have you home again
5:48:40regularly systematically he sat down and
5:48:43meditated in this way
5:48:45when his attention wandered he made it a
5:48:48habit to immediately recall the mental
5:48:50picture of his daughter with her smile
5:48:52and the scene of his home enlivened by
5:48:54her cheerful voice
5:48:56all this brought about a reconditioning
5:48:58of his mind
5:48:59it was a gradual process
5:49:02he kept it up
5:49:04he persevered knowing that sooner or
5:49:06later he would establish a new habit
5:49:08pattern in his subconscious mind
5:49:11I told him that he could liken his
5:49:13conscious mind to a camera that his
5:49:15subconscious mind was the sensitive
5:49:17plate on which he registered and
5:49:19impressed the picture
5:49:21this made a profound impression on him
5:49:23his whole aim became was to firmly
5:49:26impress the picture on his mind and
5:49:28develop it there
5:49:29films are developed in the dark likewise
5:49:32mental pictures are developed in the
5:49:34dark room of the subconscious mind
5:49:37Bob understood that his conscious mind
5:49:39was simply a camera so he used no effort
5:49:43there was no mental struggle
5:49:45he quietly adjusted his thoughts and
5:49:48focused his attention on the scene
5:49:49before him until he gradually became
5:49:51identified with the picture
5:49:53he became absorbed in the mental
5:49:55atmosphere repeating the mental movie
5:49:57frequently
5:49:59there was no room for doubt that a
5:50:01healing would follow
5:50:03when there was any temptation to drink
5:50:05he would switch his imagination for many
5:50:07thoughts of drinking bouts to the
5:50:09feeling of being at home with his family
5:50:11he was successful because he confidently
5:50:14expected to experience the picture he
5:50:16was developing in his mind
5:50:18today he is sober reunited with his
5:50:21family successful in his career and
5:50:23radiantly happy
5:50:25for the last three months I've been
5:50:27running into one roadblock after another
5:50:30I really think I've got a jinx following
5:50:32me
5:50:33Ruth b was the founder of a firm that
5:50:36handles billing record keeping for
5:50:38professionals
5:50:40her company was very successful at first
5:50:42but then something changed
5:50:45I don't get it she told me
5:50:48suddenly it's as if all the doors there
5:50:50were opening to me are jammed shut
5:50:52time after time I being potential
5:50:55clients right to the point of signing on
5:50:57the dotted line
5:50:58then at the 11th Hour they back out
5:51:02what's going on
5:51:04how long have you had this problem
5:51:07I asked
5:51:08like I said about three months she
5:51:11replied
5:51:12since the middle of April
5:51:15curious I asked what makes you so sure
5:51:18about the date
5:51:19did anything in particular happen then
5:51:22she growled
5:51:24you better believe it
5:51:26I was making a pitch to a certain
5:51:28orthodontist
5:51:30I'm not going to say his name but if
5:51:32your kid has braces you probably know
5:51:34him
5:51:36I laid it all out
5:51:38I showed him how much time and effort
5:51:40and money he'd save if my outfit handled
5:51:42all his clerical step work
5:51:45he saw the sense of it and made a verbal
5:51:47commitment
5:51:48but when I mailed him the contract first
5:51:51he stalled then he backed out
5:51:54I was fit to be tied
5:51:56and after that
5:51:58I probed
5:52:00I started happening over and over Ruth
5:52:02said
5:52:03for a moment she covered her eyes
5:52:06I'm jinxed
5:52:08there's no other explanation
5:52:11yes there is I told her
5:52:14I explained that her irritation and
5:52:16resentment toward the orthodontist had
5:52:18given her a subconscious belief that
5:52:20other prospective clients would also
5:52:22back out on her
5:52:23this belief set up a pattern of
5:52:25frustration hostility and obstacles
5:52:29she gradually built up in her mind and
5:52:31expectation of last-minute cancellations
5:52:34once this was impressed upon her
5:52:37subconscious mind it began to bring
5:52:39about the conditions she dreaded
5:52:41and each successive failure strengthened
5:52:43the conviction that she was doomed to
5:52:45fail
5:52:46she had established a vicious circle
5:52:49as we continue to talk Ruth began to see
5:52:52that the trouble was in her own mind
5:52:55she realized that the Cure was to change
5:52:57her mental attitude
5:52:59she began to meditate in this manner
5:53:02I realize I am one with the infinite
5:53:04intelligence of my subconscious mind
5:53:06which knows no obstacle difficulty or
5:53:09delay
5:53:10I live in the joyous expectancy of the
5:53:13best
5:53:14my deeper mind responds to my thoughts
5:53:17I know that the work of the infinite
5:53:19power of my subconscious cannot be
5:53:21hindered
5:53:22infinite intelligence always finishes
5:53:25successfully whatever it begins
5:53:27creative wisdom Works through me
5:53:29bringing all my plans and purposes to
5:53:31completion
5:53:33whatever I start I bring to a successful
5:53:36conclusion
5:53:37my aim in life is to give wonderful
5:53:39service and All Those whom I contact are
5:53:42blessed by what I have to offer
5:53:44all my work comes to full fruition in
5:53:47divine order
5:53:48she repeated this prayer every morning
5:53:50before going to call on her customers
5:53:53she also prayed each night before going
5:53:56to sleep
5:53:57in a short time she had established a
5:53:59new habit pattern in her subconscious
5:54:01mind
5:54:03soon she was once again successful in
5:54:05convincing prospective clients to sign
5:54:07up with her company
5:54:09all thought of being the victim of a
5:54:11jinx was forgotten
5:54:13this story is told that a young man
5:54:15asked Socrates how he could get wisdom
5:54:18come with me Socrates replied he took
5:54:21the lad to a river shoved his head
5:54:23underwater
5:54:24he held it there until the boy was
5:54:27struggling for air
5:54:28then he let him go
5:54:30once the boy regained his composure
5:54:33Socrates asked him what did you desire
5:54:36most when you were underwater
5:54:38I wanted air the boy told him
5:54:41Socrates nodded slowly
5:54:43when you want wisdom as much as you
5:54:45wanted air when you were immersed in the
5:54:47water he said you will receive it
5:54:50in the same way when
5:54:53you have an intense desire to overcome a
5:54:55certain Block in your life
5:54:58you come to a clear-cut decision that
5:55:00there is a way out
5:55:02you confidently decide that that is the
5:55:04course you wish to follow then Victory
5:55:06and Triumph are assured
5:55:08if you really want peace of mind and
5:55:11intercom you will get it
5:55:13it does matter how unjustly you have
5:55:15been treated or how unfair the boss has
5:55:18been or what a mean scoundrel someone
5:55:20has proved to be
5:55:21all this makes no difference to you when
5:55:24you awaken to your mental and spiritual
5:55:26powers
5:55:27you know what you want and you will
5:55:29definitely refuse to let the thieves
5:55:31thoughts of hatred anger hostility and
5:55:35ill will rob you of Peace Harmony health
5:55:37and happiness
5:55:39once you learn the habit of identifying

5:55:46people conditions news and events

5:56:06Alan S was a field representative for a
5:56:09major textbook distributor
5:56:11he was married with four children but he
5:56:14was also involved in a secret
5:56:16relationship with another woman during
5:56:18his business trips
5:56:20when he came to see me he was nervous
5:56:22and irritable
5:56:24he could not get to sleep without pills
5:56:27he had high blood pressure and an
5:56:29assortment of internal pains that his
5:56:31doctor could not diagnose or relieve
5:56:34to make matters worse he was drinking
5:56:36heavily
5:56:38as we quickly discovered the cause of
5:56:40all this was a deep unconscious sense of
5:56:42guilt
5:56:44the religious Creed he had been brought
5:56:46up in was deeply lodged in his
5:56:47subconscious mind
5:56:49it placed great stress on the sanctity
5:56:52of the marriage vows yet he was
5:56:54violating them flagrantly and constantly
5:56:56he drank to excess in a vain attempt to
5:56:59heal the wound of guilt
5:57:01just as an invalid might take morphine
5:57:03and codeine for severe pains he was
5:57:06taking alcohol for the pain or wound in
5:57:08his mind
5:57:09it was the old story of adding fuel to
5:57:12the fire
5:57:13he listened to my explanation of how his
5:57:15mind worked
5:57:17he faced his problem considered it
5:57:19carefully and made a decision to give up
5:57:22his illicit relationship
5:57:24he also realized that his drinking was
5:57:26an unconscious attempt to escape
5:57:29the hidden cause lodged in his
5:57:31subconscious mind had to be eradicated
5:57:34only then would the healing follow
5:57:37he began to impress his subconscious
5:57:39mind three times a day using this prayer
5:57:42my mind is full of Peace Poise balance
5:57:46and equilibrium
5:57:48the infinite lies stretched in smiling
5:57:50Repose Within Me
5:57:52I am not afraid of anything in the past
5:57:54the present or the future
5:57:57the infinite intelligence of my
5:57:59subconscious mind leads and guides
5:58:01directs me in all ways
5:58:04I now meet every situation with faith
5:58:06Poise calmness and confidence
5:58:10I am now completely free from The Habit
5:58:13my mind is full of inner peace freedom
5:58:16and joy
5:58:17I forgive myself then I am forgiven
5:58:21peace sobriety and confidence reign
5:58:24supreme in my mind
5:58:26as he repeated this prayer he was fully
5:58:29aware of what he was doing and why he
5:58:30was doing it
5:58:32knowing what he was doing gave him the
5:58:34necessary faith and confidence
5:58:37I explained to him that as he spoke
5:58:39these statements out loud slowly
5:58:41lovingly and meaningfully they would
5:58:44gradually sink into his subconscious
5:58:46mind
5:58:47like seeds they would grow after their
5:58:49kind
5:58:51his ears heard the sound and the healing
5:58:53vibrations of the words reached his
5:58:55subconscious mind and obliterated all
5:58:57the negative mental patterns that had
5:58:59caused his problems
5:59:01the constructive thought destroys the
5:59:03negative thought
5:59:04he became a transformed man within a
5:59:07month
5:59:08if you are an alcoholic or drug addict
5:59:10admit it
5:59:12do not Dodge the issue
5:59:14many people remain alcoholics because
5:59:17they refuse to admit it
5:59:19your disease is an instability interfere
5:59:23you are refusing to face life and so you
5:59:25try to escape your responsibilities
5:59:27through the bottle
5:59:29as an alcoholic you have no free will
5:59:32you may think you have
5:59:34you may even boast about your willpower
5:59:38if you are a habitual drunkard and you
5:59:40assert boldly I will not touch it
5:59:42anymore you do not have the power to
5:59:44make this assertion come true
5:59:46the reason is that you do not know where
5:59:49to locate the power
5:59:50you are living in a psychological prison
5:59:53of your own making
5:59:55you are bound by your beliefs opinions
5:59:57training and environmental influences
6:00:01like most people you are a creature of
6:00:04habit
6:00:05you are conditioned to react the way you
6:00:07do
6:00:08you can build the idea of freedom and
6:00:10peace of mind into your mentality so
6:00:13that it reaches your subconscious depths
6:00:15the latter being all-powerful will free
6:00:18you from all desire for alcohol
6:00:21at this point you will have the new
6:00:23understanding of how your mind works
6:00:26you will discover the infinite resources
6:00:28to back up your statement and prove the
6:00:30truth to yourself
6:00:32if you have a keen desire to free
6:00:34yourself from any destructive habit you
6:00:36are already 51 healed
6:00:39when your desire to give up the bad
6:00:41habit is greater than your need to
6:00:43continue it you will be amazed to
6:00:45discover the complete freedom is but a
6:00:47step away
6:00:49whatever thought you anchor the Mind
6:00:50upon the Mind magnifies
6:00:53engage the mind on the concept of
6:00:56Freedom that is freedom from the
6:00:58destructive habit and peace of mind
6:01:01keep it focused on this new direction of
6:01:03attention
6:01:04in doing so you generate feelings that
6:01:07gradually emotionalize the concept of
6:01:09freedom and peace
6:01:11whatever idea you emotionalize in this
6:01:14way is accepted by your subconscious and
6:01:16brought to pass
6:01:18realize that something good can come out
6:01:20of your suffering
6:01:22you have not suffered in vain
6:01:24however it is foolish to continue to
6:01:27suffer
6:01:28if you continue as an alcoholic it will
6:01:31bring about mental and physical
6:01:32deterioration and decay
6:01:35realize that the power in your
6:01:36subconscious is backing you up
6:01:39even though you may be seized with
6:01:41Melancholia you can begin to imagine the
6:01:43joy of Freedom that is in store for you
6:01:46this is the law of substitution
6:01:49your imagination took you to the bottle
6:01:52let it now take you to freedom and peace
6:01:55of mind
6:01:56you will suffer a little but it is for a
6:01:58constructive purpose
6:02:00you will bear it like a mother in the
6:02:02pangs of childbirth and you will bring
6:02:04forth a child of the Mind
6:02:06your subconscious will give birth to
6:02:08sobriety
6:02:10the real cause of alcoholism is negative
6:02:12and destructive thinking for as humans
6:02:15think so are they
6:02:17the alcoholic has a deep sense of
6:02:19inferiority inadequacy frustration and
6:02:22defeat
6:02:24often these are accompanied by a deep
6:02:26inner hostility
6:02:28he or she has countless Alibis to
6:02:30explain his or her drinking but the sole
6:02:33reason is in a person's thought life
6:02:35the first step get still quiet the
6:02:38wheels of the Mind
6:02:40enter into a sleepy drowsy state
6:02:43in this relaxed peaceful receptive State
6:02:46you are preparing for the second step
6:02:49the Second Step take a brief phrase that
6:02:52can be grave and readily on the memory
6:02:54and repeat it over and over as a lullaby
6:02:58use the phrase sobriety and peace of
6:03:01mind are mine now and I give thanks
6:03:04to prevent the Mind from wandering
6:03:06repeated aloud or sketch its
6:03:08pronunciation with the lips and tongue
6:03:10as you say it mentally
6:03:12this helps its entry into the
6:03:14subconscious mind
6:03:16do this for five minutes or more
6:03:19you will find a deep emotional response
6:03:22the third step just before going to
6:03:24sleep practice what Johann Von Coda the
6:03:27great German poet used to do
6:03:30imagine a friend or a loved with you
6:03:33your eyes are closed you are relaxed and
6:03:36at peace
6:03:38the loved one or friend is subjectively
6:03:40present and is saying to you
6:03:42congratulations
6:03:44you see the smile you hear the voice
6:03:47you mentally touch the hand all is real
6:03:50and Vivid
6:03:52the word congratulations implies
6:03:54complete freedom
6:03:56hear it over and over again until you
6:03:58get the subconscious reaction which
6:04:00satisfies
6:04:01when fear knocks at the door of your
6:04:03mind or when worry anxiety and doubt
6:04:07cross your mind behold your vision your
6:04:09goal
6:04:10think of the infinite power within your
6:04:13subconscious mind which you can generate
6:04:15your thinking and imagining
6:04:17this will give you confidence power and
6:04:20courage
6:04:21keep on persevere until the day breaks
6:04:24and the Shadows flee away
6:04:29chapter 19.
6:04:31how to use your subconscious mind to
6:04:33remove fear
6:04:34one of my students was invited to speak
6:04:37at the annual banquet of his
6:04:38professional association
6:04:41he told me he was panic-stricken at the
6:04:43thought of speaking before a thousand
6:04:45people many of whom were influential in
6:04:47his field
6:04:48he overcame his fear this way for
6:04:51several nights he sat down in an
6:04:53armchair for about five minutes
6:04:55he said to himself slowly quietly and
6:04:59positively
6:05:00I am going to master this fear
6:05:03I am overcoming it now
6:05:05I speak with poise and confidence
6:05:08I am relaxed and at ease
6:05:11in this way he set into operation a
6:05:14definite law of mind
6:05:16when the time came he overcame his fear
6:05:19and gave a very successful speech
6:05:22the subconscious mind is amenable to
6:05:24suggestion
6:05:26it is controlled by suggestion
6:05:28when you steal your mind and relax the
6:05:31thoughts of your conscious mind sink
6:05:33down into the subconscious
6:05:35the process is similar to osmosis in
6:05:38which fluids separated by a porous
6:05:40membrane intermingle
6:05:42as these positive seeds or thoughts sink
6:05:45into the subconscious area they grow
6:05:47after their kind and you become poised
6:05:50Serene and calm
6:05:52it is said that people's greatest enemy
6:05:55is fear
6:05:56fear is behind failure sickness and poor
6:06:00human relations
6:06:01millions of people are afraid of the
6:06:04past the future old age insanity and
6:06:07death
6:06:08but fear is a thought in your mind
6:06:11this means that you are afraid of your
6:06:14own thoughts
6:06:15a small child can be paralyzed with fear
6:06:18and a playmate says there is a monster
6:06:20under his bed who will grab him in the
6:06:22night
6:06:23but when the parent turns on the light
6:06:25and shows him there is monster he is
6:06:27Freed From Fear
6:06:29the fear in the mind of the child was
6:06:31every bit real as if there really was a
6:06:33monster there
6:06:34he was healed of a false thought in his
6:06:37mind
6:06:38the thing he feared did not exist
6:06:41in the same way most of your fears have
6:06:43no reality
6:06:45they are merely a conglomeration of
6:06:47sinister shadows and shadows have no
6:06:50reality
6:06:51Ralph Waldo Emerson the great 19th
6:06:54century philosopher and poet said do the
6:06:57thing you are afraid to do and the death
6:06:59of fear is certain
6:07:01there was a time when I was filled with
6:07:03unutterable fear at the thought of
6:07:05standing before an audience and speaking
6:07:08if I had given way to this ear terrible
6:07:10as it was I am sure you would not now be
6:07:13reading this book
6:07:15I would never have been able to share
6:07:16with others what I have learned about
6:07:18the workings of the subconscious mind
6:07:21the way I overcame this fear was to
6:07:23follow Emerson's advice
6:07:25quaking inside I went before audiences
6:07:28and spoke
6:07:30gradually I became less fearful until at
6:07:33last I was comfortable enough to enjoy
6:07:35what I was doing
6:07:36I even grew to look forward to speaking
6:07:39engagements
6:07:40I did the thing I was afraid to do and
6:07:43the death of fear was certain
6:07:45when you affirm positively that you are
6:07:48going to master your fears and you come
6:07:50to a definite decision in your conscious
6:07:52mind you release the power of the
6:07:54subconscious which flows in response to
6:07:56the nature of your thought
6:07:58in an earlier chapter I described the
6:08:01case of Janet R young opera singer whose
6:08:04career had been sidetracked by a
6:08:05terrible case of stage fright
6:08:08when she was invited to audition for a
6:08:10major role in an opera production she
6:08:12realized that this might well be her
6:08:14last chance at success
6:08:17yet her stage fight was as powerful as
6:08:19ever
6:08:20unless she managed to deal with it she
6:08:23knew would fail once again
6:08:25the way she overcame her fear was to
6:08:28isolate herself in a room and do her
6:08:30best to relax both her body and mind
6:08:33to counteract the fear suggestion that
6:08:36dominated her subconscious mind she
6:08:38repeated slowly quietly and with feeling
6:08:41the words I sing beautifully
6:08:43I am poised Serene confident and calm
6:08:48she repeated the words from five to ten
6:08:50times at each sitting
6:08:52by the end of a week she felt poised and
6:08:54confident
6:08:56when the time came she gave an
6:08:58outstanding audition
6:09:00if you adapt this procedure to your
6:09:02situation and carry it out sincerely and
6:09:04confidently the death of fear is certain
6:09:08I often get visits from students at a
6:09:10nearby University
6:09:12one complaint many of them share it what
6:09:14we can call suggestive Amnesia during
6:09:16examinations
6:09:18they all tell me the same thing I know
6:09:21the material called before the exam and
6:09:23remember all the answers after the exam
6:09:26but when I'm in the classroom staring
6:09:28down at a blank exam booklet my mind
6:09:31goes totally blank
6:09:33a great many of us have had similar
6:09:35experiences
6:09:37the explanation lies in one of the major
6:09:39laws of subconscious mind
6:09:42the idea that realizes itself is the one
6:09:45to which we give the most concentrated
6:09:47attention
6:09:48I find that they are most attentive to
6:09:50the idea of a failure
6:09:52as a result it is failure that the
6:09:55subconscious mind brings into reality
6:09:58the fear of failure itself creates the
6:10:00experience of failure by way of
6:10:02temporary amnesia
6:10:04a medical student named sheilae was one
6:10:07of the most brilliant students in her
6:10:09class
6:10:10yet when she faced a written or oral
6:10:12examination she found herself going
6:10:15blank at even simple questions
6:10:17I explained the reason to her
6:10:20she had been worrying and brooding over
6:10:22the chances of failure for several days
6:10:24before the exam
6:10:26these negative thoughts became charged
6:10:28with fear
6:10:30thoughts enveloped in the powerful
6:10:31emotion of fear are realized in the
6:10:34subconscious mind
6:10:36in other words this young student was
6:10:38requesting her subconscious mind to see
6:10:40to it that she failed and that is
6:10:43exactly what it did
6:10:44on the day of the examination she found
6:10:47himself stricken with suggestive amnesia
6:10:50as Sheila studied the working of her
6:10:52subconscious mind she learned that is
6:10:54the storehouse of memory
6:10:56it had a perfect record of everything
6:10:58she had heard and read during her
6:11:00medical training
6:11:02moreover she learned that the
6:11:04subconscious mind was responsive and
6:11:06reciprocal
6:11:07the way to be in deep rapport with it
6:11:09was to be relaxed peaceful and confident
6:11:13every night and morning she began to
6:11:16imagine her mother congratulating her on
6:11:18her wonderful record
6:11:20she would hold an imaginary letter from
6:11:22her in her hand
6:11:24as she began to contemplate this happy
6:11:26result she called forth a corresponding
6:11:28or reciprocal response or reaction in
6:11:31herself
6:11:32under this consistent stimulation the
6:11:35all-wise and omnipotent power of the
6:11:37subconscious took over
6:11:39it dictated and directed her conscious
6:11:41mind accordingly
6:11:43she imagined the end thereby willing the
6:11:46means to the realization of the end
6:11:49after following this procedure she had
6:11:51no trouble passing subsequent
6:11:53examinations
6:11:55the subjective wisdom of her
6:11:56subconscious mind took over and
6:11:58compelled her to give an excellent
6:12:00account of herself
6:12:01when I was about 10 years old I
6:12:04accidentally fell into a swimming pool
6:12:07I had never learned to swim
6:12:09I flailed my arms but it did no good
6:12:13I felt myself sinking
6:12:15I can still remember the terror as the
6:12:18dark water surrounded me
6:12:20I tried to gasp for air but my mouth
6:12:22filled with water
6:12:24at the last moment another boy noticed
6:12:27my plight
6:12:28he jumped in and pulled me out
6:12:31this experience sank into my
6:12:33subconscious mind
6:12:35the result was that for years I feared
6:12:37the water
6:12:38then one day I mentioned this irrational
6:12:41fear of mind to a wise elderly
6:12:43psychologist
6:12:45go down to the swimming pool he told me
6:12:48look at the water
6:12:50it is simply a chemical compound made up
6:12:53to two atoms of hydrogen and one of
6:12:55oxygen
6:12:56it has no will no awareness
6:12:59but you have both
6:13:01I nodded wondering where this was
6:13:04leading
6:13:05once you understand that the water is
6:13:07essentially passive he continued say out
6:13:10loud in strong voice I am going to
6:13:12master you
6:13:14by the powers of my mind I will dominate
6:13:16you
6:13:17then go into the water
6:13:20take swimming lessons
6:13:22use your inner powers to overcome the
6:13:24water
6:13:26I did as I was told
6:13:28once I assume the new attitude of mind
6:13:31the omnipotent power of the subconscious
6:13:33responded giving me strength faith and
6:13:36confidence
6:13:38it enabled me to overcome my fear and I
6:13:41mastered the water
6:13:42today I swim every morning for both
6:13:45health and pleasure
6:13:46do not permit water to master you
6:13:49remember you are the master of the water
6:13:53here is a technique for overcoming fear
6:13:55that I have taught from the lecture
6:13:57platform to thousands of people
6:13:59it works like a charm
6:14:02try it
6:14:03suppose you are afraid of swimming

6:14:09minutes three or four times a day
6:14:12put yourself into a state of deep
6:14:14relaxation
6:14:15now imagine you are swimming
6:14:18subjectively you are swimming
6:14:21mentally you have projected yourself
6:14:23into the water
6:14:24you feel the brisk coolness of the water
6:14:27and the movement of your arms and legs
6:14:30it is all real Vivid and a joyous
6:14:33activity of the Mind

6:14:37you understand that what you are
6:14:39experiencing in your imagination will be
6:14:41developed in your subconscious mind

6:14:46the image and likeness of the picture
6:14:48you impressed on your deeper mind
6:14:51when you attempt to swim it is the joy
6:14:53that will surface

6:15:00other fears

6:15:19physically with ease and comfort
6:15:21Jonathan M is an executive with a large
6:15:24corporation
6:15:26for many years he was terrified to ride
6:15:28in an elevator
6:15:30he would walk up seven flights of stairs
6:15:32to his office every morning to avoid the
6:15:35elevator ride
6:15:36when he had to met people from other
6:15:38companies whose offices were on high
6:15:40floors he always found some excuse to
6:15:43meet them at his own office or at a
6:15:45restaurant
6:15:46business trips out of town were torture
6:15:49for him
6:15:50he had to call ahead to make sure his
6:15:52hotel room was on a low floor and that
6:15:54he would be able to use the stairs
6:15:57this fear was the product of his
6:15:59subconscious mind perhaps in response to
6:16:01some experience that he had long since
6:16:03forgotten on a conscious level
6:16:06once he learned this he set about to
6:16:08change it
6:16:10he began to bless the elevator every
6:16:12night and several times a day
6:16:14in a calm confident mood he repeated to
6:16:18himself
6:16:19the elevator in our building is a
6:16:21wonderful idea
6:16:23it came out of the universal mind
6:16:25it is a boon and a blessing to all our
6:16:28employees
6:16:29it gives wonderful service
6:16:32it operates in divine order
6:16:35I ride in it in peace and joy
6:16:37I remain silent now while the currents
6:16:40of life love and understanding flow
6:16:42through the patterns of my thought
6:16:45in my imagination I am now in the
6:16:47elevator and I step out into my office
6:16:50the elevator is full of our employees
6:16:54I talked to them and they are friendly
6:16:56joyous and free
6:16:58it is a wonderful experience of Freedom
6:17:01faith and confidence
6:17:03I give thanks
6:17:05he continued this prayer for 10 days
6:17:09on the 11th day he walked into the
6:17:11elevator with other members of his
6:17:13company and felt completely free
6:17:16a newborn baby has only two basic fears
6:17:19the fear of falling and the fear of
6:17:21sudden loud noises
6:17:23these are perfectly normal
6:17:25they serve as a sort of alarm system
6:17:27given you by Nature as a means of
6:17:30self-preservation
6:17:31normal fear is good
6:17:34you hear an automobile coming down the
6:17:36road toward you and you step aside to
6:17:38survive
6:17:40the momentary fear of being run over is
6:17:42overcome by your action
6:17:45all other fears are abnormal
6:17:47they are caused by particular
6:17:49experiences or were passed on to you by
6:17:52parents relatives teachers and others
6:17:55who influenced you early years
6:17:57abnormal fear takes place when people
6:18:00let their imagination run right
6:18:02I knew a woman who was invited to go on
6:18:05a trip around the world by plane
6:18:07she began to cut out of the newspapers
6:18:09all reports of airplane catastrophes
6:18:12she even ordered a videotape of the
6:18:15world's worst airplane crashes
6:18:17she imagined herself going down in the
6:18:19ocean and drowning
6:18:21this is abnormal fear
6:18:24had she persisted in this she would
6:18:26undoubtedly have attracted to herself
6:18:28what she feared most
6:18:30another example of someone who suffered
6:18:32from abnormal fear is a businessman in
6:18:34New York who was very successful and
6:18:37prosperous
6:18:38he created his own private mental Motion
6:18:41Picture in which his company for forced
6:18:43into bankruptcy and he lost everything
6:18:46the more he ran this mental movie of
6:18:48failure the more he sank into a deep
6:18:50depression
6:18:51he refused to stop this morbid imagery
6:18:55he kept telling his wife this can't last
6:18:57the boom will end any day now it's all
6:19:00hopeless we're going to go broke
6:19:03his wife later told me that in the end
6:19:05he did go bankrupt
6:19:07all the things he imagined and feared
6:19:10came to pass
6:19:11the things he feared did not exist but
6:19:14he brought them to pass by constantly
6:19:16fearing believing and expecting
6:19:18financial disaster
6:19:20as job said the thing I feared has come
6:19:23upon me
6:19:24the world is full of people who are
6:19:26afraid that something terrible will
6:19:28happen to their children or that some
6:19:30dread catastrophe will befall them
6:19:32when they read about an epidemic or rare
6:19:35disease they live in fear that they will
6:19:37catch it
6:19:38some imagine they have the disease
6:19:40already
6:19:42all this is abnormal fear
6:19:44if you find yourself beset with an
6:19:46abnormal fear you must strive to move
6:19:49mentally to the opposite
6:19:51if you remain at the extreme of fear you
6:19:53will suffer stagnation plus mental and
6:19:56physical deterioration
6:19:58when fear arises one of the basic laws
6:20:01of the subconscious mind immediately
6:20:03brings with it a desire for something
6:20:05opposite to the thing feared
6:20:07place your attention on the thing
6:20:09immediately desired
6:20:11get absorbed and engrossed in your
6:20:13desire
6:20:14know that the subjective always
6:20:16overturns the objective
6:20:18this attitude will give you confidence
6:20:20and lift your spirits
6:20:23the infinite power of your subconscious
6:20:25mind is moving on your behalf
6:20:28it cannot fail
6:20:30therefore peace and Assurance are yours
6:20:33the head of sales of a major
6:20:35multinational corporation confided that
6:20:37when he first began as a salesperson he
6:20:40used to walk around the block five or
6:20:42six times before he could get up the
6:20:44nerve to call on a customer
6:20:46his supervisor was both very experienced
6:20:49and very perceptive
6:20:51one day and said to him don't be afraid
6:20:54of the monster hiding behind the door
6:20:56there is no monster
6:20:58you are the victim of a false belief
6:21:02the supervisor went on to tell him that
6:21:04whenever she felt the first stirrings of
6:21:06a fear she stood up to it
6:21:09she stared it in the face looking it
6:21:11straight in the eye
6:21:13when she did that she always found that
6:21:15her fear faded and shrank into
6:21:17insignificance
6:21:19a former U.S army chaplain named John N
6:21:22told me that during World War II the
6:21:24plane he was in was hit and damaged by
6:21:26anti-aircraft fire
6:21:28he had to bail out over the jungle-clad
6:21:30mountains of New Guinea
6:21:32of course he was frightened but he knew
6:21:35that fears came in two varieties Normal
6:21:38and abnormal
6:21:39the abnormal kind which was trying to
6:21:42take control of him was a close relative
6:21:44of panic
6:21:45he decided to do something about his
6:21:48fear immediately
6:21:49he began to talk to himself saying John
6:21:52you can't surrender to your fear
6:21:55your fear is a desire for Safety and
6:21:58Security and a way out
6:22:00he stood in the center of a small
6:22:02clearing and calmed his breathing
6:22:05he pushed away the first symptoms of
6:22:07panic
6:22:08as soon as he felt more relaxed he began
6:22:11to claim infinite intelligence which
6:22:13guides the planets in their courses is
6:22:16now leading guiding me out of this
6:22:18jungle to safety
6:22:19he kept saying this out loud to himself
6:22:22for 10 minutes or more
6:22:24suddenly John told me I felt something
6:22:27start to stir inside me
6:22:29it was a mood of confidence and faith
6:22:33I was drawn to one side of the clearing
6:22:36there I found the faint trace of a path
6:22:38and began to walk
6:22:40two days later I miraculously Came Upon
6:22:43a small village where the people were
6:22:45friendly
6:22:46they fed me then took me to the edge of
6:22:49the Jungle where a rescue plane picked
6:22:51me up
6:22:52John's changed mental attitude saved him
6:22:56his confidence and Trust in a subjective
6:22:58wisdom and power within him gave him the
6:23:01solution to his problem
6:23:03he added if I started to bemoan my fate
6:23:05and indulge my fears the Monster Fear
6:23:08would have conquered me
6:23:10I probably would have died of fear and
6:23:12starvation
6:23:14Raphael s was an executive in a major
6:23:16Foundation
6:23:18he admitted to me that for three years
6:23:20he had been terrified he would lose his
6:23:22position
6:23:24he was always imagining failure
6:23:26he kept expecting his subordinates to be
6:23:29promoted over his head
6:23:31the thing he feared did not exist save
6:23:34as a morbid anxious thought in his own
6:23:36mind
6:23:37his vivid imagination dramatized the
6:23:40loss of his job until he became
6:23:41increasingly nervous and inefficient
6:23:45finally he was asked to resign
6:23:47in reality Raphael dismissed himself
6:23:51his constant negative imagery the flood
6:23:54of fear suggestions he sent to his
6:23:56subconscious mind caused the
6:23:58subconscious mind to respond and react
6:24:00accordingly
6:24:01it led him to make mistakes and foolish
6:24:04decisions
6:24:05these in turn created his failure
6:24:08he might never have been fired if he had
6:24:11immediately to the opposite in his mind
6:24:14during a world lecture tour I had a
6:24:16two-hour conversation with a prominent
6:24:18government official in one of the
6:24:20countries I visited
6:24:22I found that this man had a deep sense
6:24:24of inner peace and serenity
6:24:26he said that although he is constantly
6:24:28showered with abuse by newspapers that
6:24:31support the opposition party he never
6:24:33allows it to disturb him
6:24:35his practice is to sit still for 15
6:24:37minutes in the morning and realize that
6:24:40in the center of himself is a deep still
6:24:42ocean of peace
6:24:43meditating in this way he generates
6:24:46tremendous power which overcomes all
6:24:48manner of difficulties and fears
6:24:51a few months earlier he received a
6:24:53midnight call from a panicky colleague
6:24:56according to this co-worker a group of
6:24:59people were plotting against him
6:25:01they intended to overthrow his
6:25:03administration by force with help from
6:25:05the dissident elements of the country's
6:25:07Armed Forces
6:25:08in reply the official told his colleague
6:25:11I am going to sleep now in perfect peace
6:25:15we can discuss it with me tomorrow at 10
6:25:17am
6:25:18as he explained to me I know that no
6:25:21negative thought can ever manifest
6:25:23unless I emotionalize the thought and
6:25:25accept it mentally
6:25:27I refuse to entertain the suggestion of
6:25:29fear
6:25:30therefore no harm can come to me unless
6:25:33I allow it
6:25:34notice how calm he was how cool how
6:25:38serene
6:25:39he did not get overwrought and start
6:25:41tearing his hair or wringing his hands
6:25:44at his Center he found the Still Water
6:25:46an inner peace and there was a great
6:25:48calm
6:25:49in the Bible there is a perfect formula
6:25:52for casting out fear
6:25:54I sought the Lord and he heard me and
6:25:57delivered me from all my fears
6:25:59Psalm 34 4.

6:26:37how to stay young in spirit forever
6:26:40your subconscious mind never grows old
6:26:43it is timeless ageless and endless
6:26:47it is a part of the Universal Mind Of
6:26:49God which was never born and it will
6:26:52never die
6:26:53fatigue or old age does not have any
6:26:56spiritual quality or power
6:26:58patience kindness veracity humility
6:27:01Goodwill peace Harmony and Brotherly
6:27:05Love are attributes and qualities that
6:27:07never grow old
6:27:09if you continue to generate these here
6:27:11on this plane of life you will always
6:27:13remain young in spirit
6:27:15years alone are not responsible for
6:27:18bringing about degenerative disorders
6:27:21it is not time itself but the fear of
6:27:23time that has a harmful aging effect on
6:27:26our minds and bodies
6:27:28indeed the neurotic fear of the effects
6:27:30of time May well be the cause of
6:27:32premature aging
6:27:34during the many years of my public life
6:27:36I have had occasion to study the
6:27:38biographies of the famous men and women
6:27:40who have continued their productive
6:27:42activities into the years well beyond
6:27:44the normal span of life
6:27:46some of them even achieve their
6:27:48greatness in old age
6:27:50it has also been my privilege to meet
6:27:52and to know countless individuals of no
6:27:55special prominence who in their lesser
6:27:57sphere belong among those hearty Mortals
6:27:59who have proved that old age of itself
6:28:01does not destroy the creative powers of
6:28:03the mind and body
6:28:05a few years ago I called on an old
6:28:08friend in London England
6:28:10he had recently turned eight
6:28:12for many people this is a cause for
6:28:15rejoicing but unfortunately not for him
6:28:18I was deeply shocked when I saw him
6:28:22he looked and felt weak even ill
6:28:24although he admitted that his doctor had
6:28:26not found any particular medical problem
6:28:29doctors are idiots he proclaimed
6:28:32I know very well what my disease is
6:28:36it is life itself
6:28:38I asked him what he meant
6:28:40no one wants or needs me he cried
6:28:44and why should they
6:28:45I'm of no use to anyone
6:28:48we are born we grow up
6:28:51we get old and we die and that's the end
6:28:54of the story
6:28:55I saw that in a way he was right in his
6:28:58understanding of his illness
6:29:00he was sick not because of life but
6:29:03because of the way he viewed life
6:29:06his mental attitude of futility and
6:29:08worthlessness had brought about his
6:29:09sickness
6:29:11he was looking forward only to
6:29:13senescence and after that nothing
6:29:16indeed had grown old in his thought life
6:29:18and his subconscious mind made manifest
6:29:21everything he was expecting in dreading
6:29:24unfortunately many people have the same
6:29:27attitude as this unhappy man
6:29:29they are afraid of what they term bold
6:29:31age the end and Extinction
6:29:34what this really means is that they are
6:29:37afraid of life
6:29:38yet life is endless
6:29:41age is not the flight of years but the
6:29:44dawn of wisdom
6:29:45wisdom is an awareness of the tremendous
6:29:48spiritual powers in your subconscious
6:29:50mind and the knowledge of how to apply
6:29:52these powers to lead a full and happy
6:29:54life
6:29:55get it out of your head once and for all
6:29:57that 65 75 or 85 of age is synonymous
6:30:02with the end for you or anybody else
6:30:05it can be the beginning of a glorious
6:30:07fruitful active and most productive life
6:30:10pattern better than you have ever
6:30:12experienced
6:30:13believe this expect it and your
6:30:16subconscious will bring it to pass
6:30:19old age is not a tragic occurrence
6:30:22what we call the aging process is really
6:30:24change
6:30:26it is to be welcomed joyfully and gladly
6:30:29each phase of human life is a step
6:30:31forward on a path which has no end
6:30:34we have enormous Powers which transcend
6:30:37the limits of our five physical senses
6:30:40life is spiritual and eternal
6:30:43we need never grow old for life or God
6:30:46cannot grow old
6:30:48the Bible says that God is life
6:30:52life is self-renewing
6:30:54eternal indestructible and is the
6:30:56reality of all people
6:30:58a woman asked Thomas Edison the
6:31:01electrical wizard Mr Edison what is
6:31:03electricity
6:31:05he replied Madam electricity is
6:31:09use it
6:31:10electricity is a name we give an
6:31:12invisible power which we do not fully
6:31:14comprehend
6:31:16yet we learn all we can about the
6:31:18principles of electricity and its uses
6:31:21we use it in countless ways
6:31:23scientists cannot see an electron with
6:31:26his eyes yet they accept it as a
6:31:28scientific fact because it is the only
6:31:31valid conclusion which coincides with
6:31:33his other experimental evidence
6:31:35we cannot see life
6:31:38however we know we are alive
6:31:41life is and we are here to express it in
6:31:44all its beauty and Glory
6:31:46the Bible says
6:31:48and this is life eternal that they might
6:31:50Know Thee the only true God
6:31:53John 17 3.
6:31:55anyone who thinks or believes that the
6:31:57Earthly cycle of birth adolescence youth
6:32:00maturity and old age is all there is to
6:32:03life is indeed to be pitted
6:32:06such a person has no anchor no hope no
6:32:09vision
6:32:10to that person life has no meaning
6:32:13this type of belief brings frustration
6:32:16stagnation cynicism and a sense of
6:32:19hopelessness that leads to neurosis and
6:32:21mental aberrations of all kinds
6:32:24what if you can no longer play a fast
6:32:26game of tennis or Swim as fast as your
6:32:28children
6:32:30what if your body has slowed down or you
6:32:32walk with a slow step
6:32:34remember life is always clothing itself
6:32:37anew
6:32:38what people call death is but a journey
6:32:41to a new city in another dimension of
6:32:43life
6:32:44I say to those who come to my lectures
6:32:46that they should accept what we call old
6:32:48age gracefully
6:32:50age has its own Glory Beauty and wisdom
6:32:53which belong to it
6:32:55peace love joy Beauty happiness wisdom
6:32:59Goodwill and understanding are qualities
6:33:02that never grow old or die
6:33:04Ralph Waldo Emerson poet and philosopher
6:33:08said we do not count a man's ears until
6:33:11he has nothing else to count
6:33:13your character the quality of your mind
6:33:15your faith and your convictions are not
6:33:18subject to decay
6:33:20I give public lectures in caxton Hall
6:33:22London England every few years
6:33:26following one of these lectures a
6:33:28surgeon came up to speak to me
6:33:31I am 84 84 years of age he told me
6:33:35I operate every morning visit patients
6:33:38in the afternoons and I write for
6:33:40medical and other scientific journals in
6:33:42the evening
6:33:43his attitude was that he was as useful
6:33:45as he believed himself to be and as
6:33:48young as his thoughts
6:33:50he said to me it's true what you said
6:33:52just now
6:33:54a person is as strong as he thinks he is
6:33:56and as valuable as he thinks he is
6:33:59this surgeon has not surrendered to
6:34:01advancing years
6:34:03he knows that he is immortal
6:34:06his final comment to me was if I should
6:34:08pass on tomorrow I will find myself
6:34:11helping and curing people in the next
6:34:13Dimension not with a surgeon scalpel but
6:34:15with mental and spiritual surgery
6:34:18don't ever away from an opportunity
6:34:20while thinking I am too old to take this
6:34:23on
6:34:24that way lies stagnation and mental
6:34:26death
6:34:27if you become convinced you are finished
6:34:29your subconscious mind will accept that
6:34:32belief and bring it into reality
6:34:35some people are old at 30 While others
6:34:37are young at 80.
6:34:39the mind is the master Weaver the
6:34:42architect the designer and the Sculptor
6:34:45the playwright George Bernard Shaw was
6:34:47active at 90 and the artistic quality of
6:34:50his mind had not relaxed from active
6:34:52duty
6:34:53I meet men and women who tell me that
6:34:55some employers almost slam the door in
6:34:58their faces when they say that they are
6:34:59over 40.
6:35:01this attitude on the part of the
6:35:03employers is to be considered cold
6:35:05callous evil and completely void of
6:35:07compassion and understanding
6:35:10who decreed that you must be under 35
6:35:12years of age to receive consideration
6:35:15the reasoning behind this is certainly
6:35:17very shallow and specious
6:35:20if the employer would stop and think he
6:35:23or she would realize that the person was
6:35:25not selling his age or gray hair
6:35:27rather the person would be willing to
6:35:30give of his talents experience and
6:35:32wisdom gathered through years of
6:35:34experience in the market place of life
6:35:37your age should be a distinct asset to
6:35:39any organization because of your
6:35:41practice and application through the
6:35:43years of the principles of the golden
6:35:45rule in the law of love and Goodwill
6:35:48your gray hair if you have any should
6:35:50stand for greater wisdom skill and
6:35:53understanding
6:35:54your emotional and spiritual maturity
6:35:57should be a tremendous blessing to any
6:35:59organization
6:36:00people should not be shunted to the
6:36:02sidelines at 65 or any particular
6:36:05chronological age
6:36:07that is a time of life when they could
6:36:09be most useful in handling Personnel
6:36:11problems making plans for the future
6:36:14making decisions and guiding others in
6:36:17the realm of creative ideas based on
6:36:19their experience and insight into the
6:36:21nature of the business
6:36:22I've had it with this business
6:36:25a Hollywood scriptwriter told me
6:36:28I've done first-rate work for years
6:36:31I know my craft as well as anyone in
6:36:34town slash I've won awards at festivals
6:36:36around the world
6:36:37puzzled I asked Ben what's wrong
6:36:41he threw up his hands
6:36:43The Last Story conference I want to this
6:36:4630 year old Studio executive told me I
6:36:49couldn't relate to today's audiences
6:36:51when I tried to argue he informed me
6:36:54that he didn't want any scripts that
6:36:55weren't due to the minds and tastes of
6:36:57boys 12 to 18.
6:37:00I walked out
6:37:01this is a tragic State of Affairs
6:37:05how are the great masses of people
6:37:06expected to become emotionally and
6:37:08spiritually mature if they are fed such
6:37:10a diet
6:37:12they are being blinded to the potential
6:37:14they have within them for personal
6:37:15growth
6:37:17they are told that they must glorify
6:37:19youth even though in reality youth
6:37:21stands for inexperience lack of
6:37:23discernment and Hasty judgment
6:37:26I know dozens of people in their 60s and
6:37:29older who spend their time in a frantic
6:37:31campaign to stay young
6:37:33they take fad drugs follow fad diets
6:37:36waste their money on flimsy exercise
6:37:38machines whose virtues are touted on
6:37:41late night television
6:37:43those with greater resources go in for
6:37:45spot treatments liposuction and cosmetic
6:37:48surgery
6:37:49they're constant feudal cry is look I
6:37:53can keep up with the best of them
6:37:55these people should remember a great
6:37:57truth
6:37:58as a man thinks in his heart so is he
6:38:02prop 23 7.
6:38:04diets multivitamins and supports of all
6:38:08kinds will not keep these people Young
6:38:10they must realize that they grow old or
6:38:13remain young in accordance with his
6:38:15processes of thinking
6:38:16your subconscious mind is conditioned by
6:38:19your thoughts
6:38:20if your thoughts are constantly on the
6:38:23Beautiful the noble and the good you
6:38:25will remain young regardless of your
6:38:27chronological years
6:38:29job said the thing which I greatly
6:38:31feared is come upon me
6:38:34there are many people who fear old age
6:38:37they are uncertain about the future
6:38:39because they anticipate mental and
6:38:41physical deterioration as the years
6:38:43advance
6:38:45what they think and feel comes to pass
6:38:48you grow old when you lose interest in
6:38:50life when you cease to dream to hunger
6:38:53after new truths and to search for new
6:38:55worlds to conquer
6:38:57when your mind is open to new ideas new
6:39:00interests and when you raise the curtain
6:39:02and let in the sunshine and inspiration
6:39:04of new truths of life and the universe
6:39:06you will be young and vital
6:39:09whether you are 65 or 85 years of age
6:39:12you must realize you have much to give
6:39:15you can help stabilize advise and direct
6:39:18the younger generation
6:39:20you can give the benefit of your
6:39:22knowledge your experience and your
6:39:24wisdom
6:39:25you can always look ahead for at all
6:39:28times you are gazing into Infinite life
6:39:31you will find that you can never cease
6:39:33to unveil the glories and wonders of
6:39:35life
6:39:36try to learn something new every moment
6:39:38of the day and you will find your mind
6:39:40will always be young
6:39:42some years ago while lecturing in Bombay
6:39:45India I was introduced to a man whose
6:39:48friends told me he was 110 years old
6:39:51he had the most beautiful face I have
6:39:53ever seen
6:39:55he seemed transfigured by the radiance
6:39:57of an inner light
6:39:59there was a rare Beauty in his eyes
6:40:02I could see he had grown old in years
6:40:04with gladness and with no indication
6:40:06that his mind had dimmed its lights
6:40:09be sure that your mind never retires
6:40:12you must be like a parachute it's no
6:40:15good at all unless it opens up
6:40:17be open and receptive to new ideas
6:40:21I have seen people of 65 and 70 retire
6:40:25they seem to rot away and in a few
6:40:27months passed on
6:40:29they obviously felt that their life had
6:40:31come to an end because they thought so
6:40:33it was so
6:40:35retirement can be a new Venture A new
6:40:38challenge A New Path the beginning of
6:40:41the Fulfillment of a long dream
6:40:43it is inexpressibly depressing to hear a
6:40:46someone say what will I do now that I am
6:40:48retired
6:40:49he or she is saying in effect I am
6:40:52mentally and physically dead
6:40:55my mind is bankrupt of ideas
6:40:58all this is a false picture
6:41:00the real truth is that you can
6:41:02accomplish more at 90 than you did at 60
6:41:04because each day you are growing in
6:41:07wisdom and understanding of life and the
6:41:09universe through your new studies and
6:41:11interest
6:41:12Frank W is an executive who lives near
6:41:15me
6:41:16he was forced to retire a few months ago
6:41:19the company told him it was because of a
6:41:22new restructuring plan but he believed
6:41:24his age of 65 lay behind the decision
6:41:27do you feel bitter about being the
6:41:29victim of discrimination
6:41:31I asked him
6:41:33are you going to sue
6:41:35he laughed ruefully
6:41:37I could I suppose
6:41:39and I guess I might very well win in
6:41:42court
6:41:43but why should I spend my time and
6:41:45energy that way
6:41:46I haven't lost my job the company has
6:41:49lost my services
6:41:51he paused then added the way I look at
6:41:54it I just got my promotion from
6:41:56kindergarten to the first grade
6:41:58how do you mean
6:42:00well for instance he replied when I
6:42:03graduated high school I climbed to the
6:42:05next run of the ladder by going to
6:42:07college
6:42:08I took a step forward in my education
6:42:11and understanding of life in general
6:42:14my career was another step or maybe a
6:42:17few steps
6:42:18now I've been liberated to do I've
6:42:20always wanted to do
6:42:22in other words being let go is still
6:42:25another step upward on the ladder of
6:42:26life
6:42:28Frank came to the wise conclusion that
6:42:30he was no longer going to concentrate on
6:42:32making a living
6:42:33now he was going to give all his
6:42:35attention to living life
6:42:37he had been a passionate amateur
6:42:39photographer for years
6:42:42he made a commitment to take courses in
6:42:44photographic technique at a nearby
6:42:46Institute
6:42:47later he went on a voyage around the
6:42:50world
6:42:51at each place he visited he took dozens
6:42:54of roles on film
6:42:55he now lectures before various groups
6:42:58lodges and clubs and is in constant
6:43:01demand
6:43:02there are countless ways of taking an
6:43:04interest in something worthwhile outside
6:43:06yourself
6:43:08become enthusiastic over new creative
6:43:10ideas make spiritual progress and
6:43:13continue to learn and to grow
6:43:16in this manner you remain young in heart
6:43:18because you are hungering and thirsting
6:43:20after new truths and your body will
6:43:22reflect your thinking at all times
6:43:25laws that prohibit employers from
6:43:27discriminating against men and women
6:43:29because of age are a step in the right
6:43:31direction but laws alone cannot alter
6:43:34the way people think
6:43:36someone of 65 years may be younger
6:43:39mentally physically and physiologically
6:43:41than many people of 30.
6:43:43we are here to enjoy the fruits of our
6:43:46labor to be a producer not prisoner of
6:43:48society that sentences us to idleness
6:43:50because of our age
6:43:52a person's body slows down gradually as
6:43:55he or she advances through the years but
6:43:58his conscious mind can be made much more
6:44:00active alert alive and quickened by the
6:44:03inspiration from his or her subconscious

6:45:51the pioneering heart surgeon Michael
6:45:53DeBakey developed the first roller pump
6:45:55for blood in 1932.
6:45:58his pump is still used for heart bypass

6:46:02at the 90 Dr DeBakey got permission to

6:46:16pursued an active surgical schedule as
6:46:18well
6:46:19a colleague said it would take another
6:46:21people five or six lifetimes to do what
6:46:24he's done
6:46:25DeBakey summed up his philosophy at 90
6:46:28this way as long as you have challenges
6:46:30and are physically and mentally able
6:46:32life is stimulating and invigorating
