  Speaker 1: Life is self realization. Every birth is divine. We are
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: born anew every morning. My wish is that you may
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: catch the gleam, be freed from limitations, and enter upon
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: your boundless possibilities. Your endowments are so rich and rare.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: There is no other person in the world just like you.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You have genius, which, if brought forth into the sunlight,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: would glorify with brilliant inspiration a thousand lives. You have
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: insight that, if it were energized, would make the desert
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: blossom as the rose. You have initiative that, once illuminated,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: would create an empire fairer than any ever raised in marble.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You have harmony, lying latent in the vast octaves of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: your being, which have awakened into melody, would soothe, comfort, restore,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and purify the passions of the world. You have beauty
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: matchless in forms of grace, which if breathed into marble
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: or spread in soul colors upon the canvas, would adorn
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the palaces of kings. You have thoughts which, if given expression,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: would burn and shine through countless ages, and bear their
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: messages of hope and power to fainting multitudes, to bring
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you into the throne room of your being, that you
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: may awaken in self realization. Is why I have prepared
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this course of lessons. Should you give five minutes a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: day to them in a year, you will know the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: joy there is in life, in power, and in service.

  Speaker 1: Eugene Croft, Chapter one, Supreme Control of conditions. Conditions are
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: thought made. Change your thought and you will change your condition.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: To agonize and struggle in a bad condition is like
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: struggling in quicksand you get Indeed, tell your bad conditions
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to another, and you multiply them. If the heavens are
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: falling and the earth is slipping under your feet, grab
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a big Turkish towel. Walk briskly into the supreme sanctuary
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of the body, the bathroom. Take a thorough salt water
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: bath with a few drops of perfume in it to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: awaken your self respect. Then in a darkened quiet room,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: take a good sleep of ten to fifteen hours. Then
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: rise and eat slowly, quietly, and happily, some nourishing food.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: God himself could do nothing with Elijah until he had
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: given him a long sleep and a good meal. Then
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Elijah went forth and crowned a king, appointed a prophet,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: established a kingdom, and rode home in chariots of fire.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Once you make a start, the world is at your command.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Let go of the past. Stop the foolish thinking that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: conditions hold you. It is you holding on to conditions.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Quit yourself pity, blaming others and saying you are the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: victim of circumstances. Stop whining and begin singing. Then your
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: feet will be loosed from the stalks, and the iron
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: gates open outward. Before you look away from yourself, is
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: your will asleep at the wheel. Awake it. See if
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you are sailing or drifting. Set the compass of your
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: mind to new thoughts, fresh purposes, selfless desires. Fill your
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: sails with boundless hope, and let your daily voyage spell
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: service in a big way. You are not a chip
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: on the river of life. You are a supreme master
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in a universe of facts. You think you are stuck
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the harbor mud, but it is only that the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: tide is out. Command your will to put up the sails.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: God will send you wind and tie to bear you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: out of the stale, sordid, mental and bodily conditions you
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: are living in. Give you wider horizon and a limitless
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: ocean of experience. If anybody does not wish to sail
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with you, leave them on the shore. Let go of
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: your past, break away from conditions that hold you in slavery.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Seek new scenery, form new surroundings, begin a new supreme life.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Keep your body supreme. Go back to nature. Be a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: fine animal. Get into the sunshine, the silent woods, the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: open fields. Magnetize your body by walking through the dew, barefooted,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: by sleeping on the grass or half buried in the sand. Tuberculosis, rheumatism,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: insomnia are unknown to wild animals. Our bodies are sick
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and weak because we have denatured ourselves. Make friends of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the wild animals. They will teach you how to keep well.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They have not a single case of nervous prostration in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: all their vast forest home. Learn to relax, drop your
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: tension and check your confusion. Stop a few minutes sometime
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in the day and quiet your nerves. Rest your muscles,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: calm your senses. Soothe your thoughts. Somewhere in the sunshine
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: or under the shade of an old apple tree. Eat simply, slowly, nuts, dates, cereals, fruits.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Drink abundantly of water between meals. Dress less, somber. Study
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: your personal appearance, give it harmony. Keep your body well groomed.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: A bath and hair cut will change the outlook of life.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Quit habits that weaken the body. Never talk about your
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: your bodily weaknesses, illness, or condition, nor listen to those
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of others. Criticize your body and it will fail you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Praise your body and it will serve you. Take air baths,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: cold water plunges, or cold water sponges every morning. Fix
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: your mind upon having a sound and energized body, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you will attract it. Exercise, walk, run, play, work, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: learn to rest. Change your habits of living. Cut out
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the grouch. Stop nagging your sour because your pores are
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: stopped up. Get a buck saw and take a sweat.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: You're morbidly blue because your solar plexus has gone to sleep.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Give it half an hour of internal vibration. Don't knock
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the weather like it, get into it. Let it put
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: iron into your blood. Plunge into a storm. It will
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: act as a tonic on your spirit. A dip in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the ocean will add magnetism to your body. Your body
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: is a mighty fine engine of marvelous energy. Overfed, underfed, overburdened, neglected, abused, weakened,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: shamefully talked about, Yet year after year it goes on
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: generating the divinest thing in the universe. Life. It transmutes
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: profane elements into divine energy, washes a river of blood
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: free of tons of poison, supports a brain that builds
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and rules limitless empires, sustains a vision that dissolves darkness
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: into light, the unknown into the known, upholds the image
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of and is the temple of the living God. Your
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: body is supreme. Keep it divine. Strip your body bare
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and lie in the sunshine. Let it soak deeply into
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the tissue. It will magnetize your body and renew it
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: with youth. Take these sun baths every sunny day, possible
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: by lying on a couch before a large window, or
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: even better, out in the open air. If you want
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a magnetic body that is supple, elastic, and youthful, give
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: it sun baths and air baths daily. Keep your mind supreme.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Your mind is limitless. You were born to lead, not
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to be always led. Think for yourself, do your own planning,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: make new plans. Train your mind to think alone. Misery
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is rust on a mind that has stopped working. Train
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: your mind to delight people. Don't follow the crowd, but
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: steff softly among human hearts. Train your mind to think big.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Expand your mind and till it encircles the universe. Stop
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: fussing over little things, over useless people, and fill your
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: mind with new ideals and fresh purpose. Stop wailing over
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: flowers that will never blossom on the north side of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: your house. Go around to the south side and make
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a new garden. You have a temperament that is likely
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: to be misunderstood. That's fine, So did Savonarola, Columbus, Galileo, Luther, Whitfield, Emerson, Lincoln,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and christ Seven cities fought for Homer Dead through whose
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: streets the living home are begged his bread. The reputation
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of Christ was just the opposite of his character. These
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: stood thinking their brave thoughts on the horizon where truth
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: asks you to stand. You are better than you think,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: or as good you are the sum total of your thinking.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Build thought palaces, not mud huts. Create, originate, produce new ideas.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Beware of dead monotony. It kills the brain. Unfetter your
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: thoughts from notions, prejudices, and limitations. Think well of yourself.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Think well of what you have, Think well of what
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you do. Think invincibly, think persistently, Think with unflinching resolve.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Concentration is getting at a thing, thinking it, planning it,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: preparing for it, working on it, doing it. Your conditions, mental, physical, financial,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: are thought made. Fill your mind with different thoughts and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you will have different conditions. Thoughts gather around you the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: things you want. When you stop thinking of them, they
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: pass away. Thoughts are seeds, They produce after their kind.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: A little thought will shake off useless conditions and confused environment.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Think fun into your daily events. Don't be over serious.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It breeds disease germs, just as anger and hate induce cancer.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Tumor and liver troubles. Start a hurricane of jollity. Break
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: loose in a thunderstorm of mirth. It will clear the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: atmosphere under a roof, just as a thunderstorm clears the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: air over the roof. On the other hand, there is
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a season to weep. Never smother your emotion. To choke
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it back stifles the heart. Lift the floodgates, and let
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: your tears water. The garden of your heart be renewed
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: in the spirit of your mind, that is the life,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: be renewed every morning, for each day is a new life,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a fresh world, the beginning of eternity. Think your thought
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: created enemies into thought created friends. Think your thought created
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: so suspicions into thought created confidences. Thought has drawn you
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: into your conditions. It will pull you out your soul,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: your mind. Your body cannot become ugly, useless, imprisoned, so
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: long as you think supreme harmony, dominion, and love. Thought
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: makes your body a hovel, your mind a madhouse. Or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: thought makes your body a temple, and your mind a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: shrine where angels commune with you. Environment, conditions, circumstances are
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: not your masters. They are materials out of which thought
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: makes the beautiful mosaics of character. Light the candle of
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a new thought, and diligently sweep every corner of your mind,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and you shall find the rare treasure happiness. Put fun
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: into your thinking. Do not take yourself so serious. Put
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the red blood of mirth into your daily thinking. Keep
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: your will supreme. Your will is divine energy. Therefore it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: is a supreme power. Christ said, be it unto thee,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: even as thou willed. It is inertia that suffers fate.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Fear and doubt are children of the imagination. The power
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of the will dissolves them into mist. Will power into
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: your being, will power into your work, will power into
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: your ambitions, will power into your expressions, will power into
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: your words, and you shall be a fellow workman with God,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a master builder that needeth not be ashamed. Your will
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: gives you infinite clearness, infinite strength, infinite ideals, infinite aspirations
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: for infinite realities. Your will tells you that if there
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: is anything today that seems to you you too good
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to be true, believe it, endeavor toward it, reach forth
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to receive it, and tomorrow it will be true. Will
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: is the engine in the depths of the ship that
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: drives it through the buffeting waves and storm to the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: distant harbor. Will put your backbone where your wishbone is now.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Will puts iron into your blood, tightens up your vertebrae,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: and makes you a self starter. You may have lost
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: your battle, your will stands ready for another battle campaign.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You miss an opportunity, Your will stands ready to open
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the door to a hundred new ones. Delay is the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: mother of most failures. One thing worse than a quitter
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: is the person afraid to begin. Your will gives you
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: purpose and makes you stick to it, get grit for
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a new siege. Will makes desire, Will makes brains. Will
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: gives decision to decide, means to cut. Cut deep into
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the world of possibilities, Cut out of your prison of difficulties,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Cut through your jungle of opposition, to liberty, to health,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to success, to supreme power, Think plan, do it. Will
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: heals disease. Will drives poisons out of the system. Will
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: makes the body immune. Will illuminates the brain with brilliant perception.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Will sweeps misfortunes aside and rebuilds a nobler success. Julius
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Caesar trained his supreme will until it became the dominion
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of the Roman Empire. The goddess Diana said of Hercules,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: when I saw him, whether he sat or stood, I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: knew he was a god so majestic as his will.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Like the magnetic mountain in the Arabian nights, your will
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: can draw the nails from your enemy ships, so they
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: shall fall to pieces before they reach your shores. Will
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: is a dynamic, cosmic energy, from whence eternal things proceed
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and immortal organisms are constructed. Will is the glory of
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the divine universe, and you are a part of that will.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: In your will sleep the oracles of prophecy. You are
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: made master over this world. In your will is enthroned sovereignty, dominion, kingship.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: With force of will, Pygmalion carved his sole dream into
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the marble until its loveliness of form and grace became
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: so real as to take on life and motion. With
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: force of will, Dante created his Hell, and with force
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of will, Milton created his paradise. Regained Put your will
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: into command, Start new, Realize that you are supreme. Get
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: a mind picture of what you want, what you want
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to be, what you want to do, then actualize it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Get above doubts. Do not wait to be well, to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: be happy, to be rich. All of these will be
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: added unto you. Climb out of your prison of doubts, worries,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: fears begin where you are. Let your will create, even
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: as God creates. He that believeth shall not perish, shall
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: not abide in darkness, shall have the light of life,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: shall have everlasting life. All things are possible to him
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that believeth. Come down out of the gallery of supine
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: hero worshippers, Get into the arena and be the hero.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Quit the drivel of matinee idle longing, and get on
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to the stage of life. And get the bouquets for yourself.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: The world is waiting to wring up the curtain for
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: your star part in life. You can work miracles. A
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: miracle is a wonder, a marvel, a supernatural occurrence, a
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: result obtained by suspension of natural processes. You can do
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that any day. The miracle is that so few do it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: You know Ibsen's play The Dollhouse. How the wife forged
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a note, raised the money to send her husband to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: regain his health. How he did regain it, returned to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: great prominence and wealth as a banker, then the blackmailer
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: threatened to reveal the crime. How the husband rushed to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: his wife in anger that she should have done such
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: a thing, that it meant ruined to him in his
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: high position. How the wife replied, why I expected the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: miracle that you would save me as I saved you,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: that you would say that you did it. If he
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: only had What a marvelous, what a wonderful, what a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: supernatural thing it would have been Christ made whole and useful.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: A withered han. People say, oh, that I could do
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: such a wonderful thing, Well, why don't you see the
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: withered hands around you. A young woman with a beautiful
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: voice but no means to cultivate it. You have a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: thousand or so in the bank. You can save that
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: voice to a world that needs song. A young man
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: with a fine mind, helpless to go through college. You
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: have means to give that mind to a world in
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: power and usefulness. The natural thing is for you not
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to do it, the supernatural. The miracle is that you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: are divine enough to do it. A man a woman
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: is forsaken, friendless, cruelly judged by the world, Their goodness blasted,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: their spirit, crushed, their hearts, bleeding, their lives, made useless, withered.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: The natural thing is to avoid such stand aloof be
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: quite scornfully indifferent. The miracle happened if you went to them,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: lifted them up, restored them to society. I have said
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: avoid useless people, I mean selfish, lazy, purposeless, aimless people.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Sir Humphry Davy worked a miracle when he took the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: boy Faride out of a stable loft and gave him
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a chance to cultivate his genius. The Sistine Chapel is
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Angelo's miracle when the band on the deck of the Titanic,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: under the pale light of the morning stars, played Nearer
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: my God to thee to give hope and strength to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: men and women struggling to be saved. Each player, as
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the voice of his melody was forever hushed behind the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: shining emerald gates in the crystal tomb of the sea,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: went down, crowned with the glory of a selfless miracle.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: The natural thing would have been for them to have
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: frantically fought to save themselves. What superb opportunities to work
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: miracles have passed you? What magnificent possibilities are still right
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: before you? The cripple is always at your gate. Beautiful,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Are you divine enough, wonderful enough, marvelous enough, supernatural enough
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to say, such as I have give I unto thee.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Do it quickly? Do it, and you shall know the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: daily joy of hearing the fathers say, this is my
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: son in whom I am well pleased. If there is
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: any one person on this earth to whom I take
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: off my hat and wait until they safely pass, it
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: is a school teacher, the most obscure teacher back in
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: the country, hills, unknown, unthought of, unpraised, but with loving
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: patience unfolds the secrets of knowledge to little frowsy headed
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: boys and girls can look into her mirror at evening
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and behold the face of an angel. Flowers cast their
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: way upon the vacant air, and rich fathers oft cast
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: their wealth upon the vacant air. Some people are so
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: sensitive that if you call them honey, they will break
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: out with hives the next morning. Do not divorce your
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: husband because he has cold feet. Perhaps he got them
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: since you were married. Christ stopped every funeral that came
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: his way and sent the mourners home singing. Funeral sermons
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: were too sad for him to preach. Every sick room
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: he entered, became a health resort. He made graveyards unpopular.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Many a lonely bachelor, looking back over the stretch of years,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: recalls the charming moonlit nights when the cool summer air
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: was perfumed with fresh, old fashioned flowers, and he looked
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: into the loving eyes of his sweetheart, recalls how the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: crimson glow of youth flushed her velvet cheeks as he
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: took her warm hand in his recalls sadly that if
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: he had only given that hand a square deal, played
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it in the game of life, he would have a
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: full house. Now, would you like to become young? Then
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: tap new reservoirs of youthful thoughts, irrigate your alkali desert
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: from the fountains of youth, become youthfully active in some
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: new field of work. Vanderbilt added ten million to his
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: fortune after he was eighty. Wordsworth earned the laureateship at
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: seventy three. Thairs established the French Republic and became its
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: first president at seventy two. Verdee wrote Falstaff. At eighty,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Sir Walter Scott was six hundred thousand dollars in debt,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: when he was fifty five, but through his own efforts
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: he paid all and made himself a lasting name book
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Knowledge is not all. A wealthy fond father, fearing his
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: son be contaminated by college life, had him educated at home.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: When he was twenty one, he took him to ride
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: through the streets of the city. They passed a female seminary.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Just as the doors opened and a crowd of young
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: women came out. The dear boy grabbed his father's arm
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and cried, what are those His father replied, they are
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: only goslins. Later in the day, the fond father said,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: my son, you have obeyed me, have faithfully completed your education.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Now I am ready to spend fifty thousand dollars to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: give you the highest ambition of your life. The boy
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: looked up in glad wonder and said, oh, Dad, give
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: me a goslin. End of chapter one recording by Andrea Fiori.

  Speaker 1: Chapter two of Supreme Personality. This LibriVox recording is in
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the public domain. Recording by Andrea Fiori. Supreme Personality by
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Delmer Eugene Croft, Chapter two, Supreme Control of age. Youth
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: is eternal. Nature never grows old. The flowers that bloomed
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in Eden are blooming to day, just as lovely, just
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: as sweet, just as fresh and unchanged. The roses your
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: life mate brings home to you have the same fragrance
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: as the roses Adam brought to Eve if he thought
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: of it. The lovely stars that glitter in the azure
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: fields above you tonight have the same loveliness that gleamed
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: in tremulous glory down upon the shepherds beyond Bethlehem. The radiant,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: life giving rays of the Sun that ten thousand thousand
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: years ago warmed mother Earth into vernal spring life are
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the same life giving rays that shall bring again the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: spring tide. Life never grows old, it only changes form.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Your life is perpetual, then your youth may be perpetual.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: The human race is ever young, its units fall off.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: You should be younger at sixty than at sixteen, because
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: you have more life. Growing old is a habit. People
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: travel along the years up the hill of life till
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: they reach a certain point where they begin to think
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: they must be growing old. Think it's time to sag,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Think it's time to droop, Think it's time to begin
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the process of decay. Then begin to talk about it
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: to write letters about it, to feel around for it,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: to look for it in others. Finally, the habit they
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: inherited from the race is on, and they are old.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Life is endless, but you can think it short. The
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: power of an endless life is within you. But by
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: thinking you can turn it to the white ashes of
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: old age. Think youth and you stay young. Youth is growth.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Keep growing and you keep young. A new idea will
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: make you feel younger. Develop it and it will develop you.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Quicken your mental throb with new ideas. Begin now, stop
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: talking about being too old to grow. You pass by
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: trees daily a hundred two hundred years old. They are
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: still growing. The rose bush on a wall in China
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be over a thousand years old. It
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: bears more roses now than when it was a mere
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: slip of a vine of only one hundred. Gladstone at
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: eighty two was a growing statesman and elected Prime Minister
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: of England for the fourth time. Cato at eighty began
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to study Greek and renewed the youth of his mind.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Donald Davis is a growing hunter. At one hundred and three.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Goddard Diamond was a growing teacher of health when he
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: was one hundred and eleven. I know a bright, cheery
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: lady who is just beginning a new study for decorating
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: China along with her household cares, and she is eighty eight.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Also another woman who has taken up a new process
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of enlarging drawings into water colors, and she is eighty
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: one years young. The fig tree withered when the Master
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of life found it not growing, producing creating. When you
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: stop growing, you will wither. By the same law, grow something,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: create something, produce something, and the law of youth will
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: pervade your being. Youth is observing the law. Observing the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: law of health, the law of mind, the law of growth,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the law of harmony, the law of production, the law
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: of expression, the law beauty, the law of selflessness. Keep
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: your bodily forces up, rebuild destroyed tissue, keep the system
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: free of waste, Stop poisoning your body with anger, hate, jealousy, fear.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Keep your mind sweet, think cheerfully, avoid mental turmoil and excitement.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Two great enemies of youth are worry and fear. The
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: next is selfishness. Think every morning when you rise, This
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: new day is new life. It is fresh from the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: hand of God. It is mine to use. I will
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: increase it unto the perfect day. Grow in each day
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and make each day grow. Check discord. Quit useless discussion,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: for it weakens and withers. Stop quarreling, check complainings. Root
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: criticism out of your life. You are bigger than these
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: things get into harmony. You are the world upon worlds, universe,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: unto universe. Study your words to make them have beauty.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Your walk to have grace, your personality to make it magnetic.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Your smile to give courage and comfort, your presence to
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: have it healing, helping, inspiring. If there be any virtue
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: in whatsoever things are lovely, think on those things. Youth
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: is loving. Work like what you do, do what makes
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you and others happy. Enter your daily work with joy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Adjust it until you do like it. Learn to love
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: work for the happiness it brings. Put joy into your
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: work in the morning, and you will find it multiplied
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: into happiness at night. Work is a law of youth.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Inaction is decay, Inertia is death. Men and women do
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: not you usually lose their positions. They drive their positions
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: away from them. The law of work will not stand
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: personal abuse any more than the law of beauty will
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: endure brutality. Form an ideal of your work. Make a
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: mental picture of it. Simplify it, orderly it, beautify it,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: then glorify it. Start the process in the slightest degree
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and you will get a result. Put a new shock
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: absorber on your disposition. Bring your fine sensibilities to your work.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Be big morally, be deep mentally, and work with confident expectation.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Put rules and system into your daily task. Exercise your
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: self control, your self possession, self mastery. March up to
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: your task with efficiency backed by a dominant will. Realize
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: your supreme personality in your work. Put the absolute I
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Am into your purpose of toil. Put dominating decision I
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: have decided into your efforts. Put invincible determination I will
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: into your complex problem. Put irresistible confidence I shall achieve
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: into your ardent desires. You will then love work. When
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you come to love work, you will not exhaust yourself
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: in it. You will not tire your brain and body
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: with its friction, because you will not work with selfish purposes,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: but work to enrich the world. Love is the fulfilling
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: of the law. Youth is supreme cheerfulness. To be funless
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: is to be lifeless. Good Cheer is the tonic of youth.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: If you are so sad you cannot laugh at something,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: then laugh at nothing. Laugh in the world. You know it.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: An out of small will give you more real life
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: than seven tons of solemn collie. Cheerfulness and prosperity go
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: hand in hand. Bathe in mirth, frolic in some sunshine daily,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: even if you live in Pittsburgh and have to make
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: your own sunshine. Make fun, don't always buy it. You
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: can cure disease and kill the devil with laughter. Cultivate
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: an infectious laugh. Mirth makes work easy. Read humor and
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: learn to tell it. Practice telling a good funny story.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Be a quick wit. There is a bright side to
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: everything in this world, even to a dark lantern. The
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: end of the film is sure to be jolly. Good
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: cheer attracts good luck. Cheer up. If you haven't a smile,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: get one of somebody and wear it as your own.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Let thine heart cheer thee give it Outlet go to
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: sleep with a smile on your face, and you will
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: awaken with a joy in your heart. Let your humor
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: be rich. Humor. Laughter is the cipher key to a man.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: It is one of the most delightful sounds of earth.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Most utterly lost is the day you laugh. Not Mirth
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: clears the mirrors of the mind. A person who does
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: not laugh is not healthy. A merry heart. Doeth good
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: like a medicine. To forget your sorrow. Begin to cultivate joy.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Keep away from sad people, or you will be sad.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Stop rehearsing your grief. You only enlarge it if you
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: suffer grief. Find someone in trouble and cheer them, Encourage them,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: help them, and you will deliver yourself. You will comfort
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: yourself when you comfort another. You cannot lose a loved one,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: though absent from the earth plane, They are nearer than ever.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Life and love never change. Death is an unreality thought
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: made our friends take on new embodiment that is glorified
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: in life and spirit. When you believe you were created
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: in His image and are a partaker of the divine nature,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: it is easier to believe you shall arise in His likeness.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Some day we shall all believe we have not disfigured
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: morally broken natures, but divine natures supreme in limitless power. Traditions, teachings, education,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: environment of generations of thinking have disfigured, morally broken, sin
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: burdened humanity. All our thought created conditions, thought made limitations,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: thought made original sins, system cultivated human wrongs, institutionalized teachings
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: of error. But you should know the universe is one
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: undivided soul. You are a yoke fellow with God. You
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: are a part of one complete life. You are a
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: lobe of the infinite brain. You are a supreme personality
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: of absolute personality. Nothing that has life is God damned.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Where love is only a dream, the marriage is an
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: alarm clock. If you cannot endure your mother in law,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: you can begin your plans at once to live alone
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: when your children are married. A quarrel between two people
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to settle things is a good deal. Like a dog
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: fight in a flower bed. The only things that get
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: settled are the flowers. Nearly always, when you hear the
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: lusty wail of a boy with energy plus filling the air,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: you can look in at the window and find a
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: woman's hand at the seat of his trouble. You can
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: overwork your notion of neatness. A woman in Vermont crippled
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: her usefulness for life by mopping a hole through her
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: kitchen floor and falling into the cellar end of chapter two.

• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Supreme Personality by Delmer Eugene Croft. Chapter three A supreme
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: daily life method, a central plan. Do your mental work
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: in the morning, your manual work in the afternoon. Do
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: not dictate letters in the afternoon. From ten to twelve
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: in the morning is best. The brain is usually at
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: low ebb at three o'clock in the afternoon. Do not
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: have your desk so that you have to look sidewise
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: at persons approaching you. It blunts your personality. By no
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: means have people enter behind you. It is the most
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: negative psychic inflamme on as possible. Let your position in
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: your office be such that when anyone approaches, your eyes
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: will fall upon them as near a straight level as possible.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Plan your workroom for efficiency, no matter how small, how large,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: or if it be but a bench. Put your character
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: stamp on the plan of the work you do. Go
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: to that work as a king goes to his throne.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Centralize your work, plan it work your plan, have a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: system of order, set your mind in order first. If
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: you are living as I have taught in the lessons
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: that have gone before, then your mind will assume a
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: supreme command of order almost at once. Classify what you do,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: keep matters separate. Do the big things first. As you classify,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: drop the non essentials. Weed out the useless. Never spend
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: in a minute of your morning hours winding up a
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: string or folding a piece of wrapping paper. Do that
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: when your brain tide has ebbed out in the afternoon,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: or not at all. Don't hunt for a pin or
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: sharpen a pencil, or manicure your nails after you reach
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: your work of the day. Classify your movements, eliminate the useless.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Energize your movements. Move with enthusiasm. Put elastic cheer into
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: your step. Wear rubber heels of quiet manners. Simplify your work.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Keep it straight after a little it will keep you straight.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Don't fall over your work, nor step on it or
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: sit on it. Simplify by stopping the waste of words,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: waste of material, waste of time. Jollify your work. Put
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: fun into each day's round of toil. Be original plans
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: and ideas. Cultivate your efficiency to all the above add
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: mental energy, develop insight, grow new business brain cells. Do
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: not overload your stomach with food, nor your body with clothing.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Study directness, master application. At Niagara Falls, I saw two
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: giant dynamos generating twenty five thousand horsepower. Their efficiency was
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: kept in perfect balance by a little automatic nickelgate. Your
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: efficiency is kept in balance by little invisible and automatic
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: thought neurons. A clear brain is the test of efficiency. Plans, orders,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: system application give efficiency. Efficiency is positive thinking. Freedom thinking
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: above fear thinking. Get out and keep out of negative thinking.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: Just as soon as you drop negative thinking, your mind
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: will begin to rise to a new brilliance of expression.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: One big element in efficiency is silence. It is the
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: strongest thing to be silent. Noise is emptiness, weakness, inefficiency.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Silence is the law of greatness. Noise the breaking of
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: the law. Develop your power to rest. That person is
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: wise who knows how to rest. It is a powerful
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: thing to rest. Successfully overfed persons or animals do not rest.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: They are stupefied. Rest is filling your capacities with energy.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Sleep knits up the raveled sleeve of care, or it should.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Rest is relaxing the nerves and muscles. Rest is reconstructing
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: broken down cellular tissues. Rest is re stringing the harp
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: of the senses, retuning the rhythmic harmonies of the spirit.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Rest lets down the tension when you sit down. Let
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: what you sit on hold you when you lie down.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Do not try to hold yourself on the bed. Rest
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: is the opposite of labor. Rest is recreation. Rest with
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: sleep is a divine restorative. When you cannot rest or sleep,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: you are expending energy without production. Try this little code
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: for rest and sleep. My mind is empty, my soul
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: is at rest. Repeat it with your eyes closed and
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: your body relaxed. Say it just as you would imagine
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the swing of the pendulum of an old fashioned hall clock.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I never knew it to fail of inducing sleep, never
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: rest or sleep with light falling on your eyes. Shut
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: out the world and noise. Grow the fruits of the spirit. Love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Against such there is no law. Do not sit down
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: and wish for them, nor wait for someone to bring
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: them to you. Even God will not bring them to you.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Grow them, cultivate them, produce them. No power on this
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: earth can defeat you, make you fail or overthrow you.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: If you fill your spirit with them as you work,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: use them. Take them with you to the store, the factory,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: the shop, the mill, to your bench. Take them with
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: you to the office, the counting room, the courtroom, and
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: to your throne room. Take them with you to the battlefield,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: to the halls of justice, to the Senate chamber, to
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: the presidential chair. Take them with you through the streets,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: along the highways, and over the unbeaten paths of your life.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Take them with you, down the rivers and out into
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: the storm driven sea. Chain them to the wheel of
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: your ship. Sail on through the starless night alone. Trust them,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: for they are the initiative of the Supreme in you.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: Train your voice. Take your snarling, growling, snapping, whining voice
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: away into the jungle and leave it to the wild beasts.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Take your sobbing, sniveling, trembling, dolorous, sanctimonious voice down into
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: some dismal swamp and bury it. Train your voice as
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: you would tune a harp. Your voice is an index
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: of character. Keep it on the level, Let it speak
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: as one having authority. Charm it with modulation, make it
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: rip with music. Allow no thrust of anger to ruffle it,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Intensify it with determination, strengthen it with courage, give it
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: dominion and power. When other voices are hot and spumming
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: around you, keep your voice cool. Never allow your voice
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: to become dull, dubious, uncertain, shrinking, or hollow. Voice tones
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: that are round, rhythmic, full, measured. Have a serene and
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: reposeful voice. Look at what you speak. Reflect your soul
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: in your voice. Let the manner of your voice be calm, smooth, collected,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: but energized with positive forces. Have a cheerful voice, a
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: voice that makes one think of sunshine and smiles. How
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: to love relatives. To love your relatives, be away from
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: home while you can to have them love you, keep
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: about three hundred miles between you and them. Thousands of
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: homes and lives are wrecked by two families of the
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: same family trying to live under the same roof. Noah
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: would have floundered with the ark ten days after the
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: flood started if he had not taken more than two
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: out of any one family with him. Kin would have
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: never killed Abel if Adam hadn't made the fool blunder
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: of trying to keep his two sons everlastingly with him.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Of course, there was some excuse in the fact that
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: in those days, New York and Paris were not brilliantly
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: attractive cities. If there is any one thing outside a
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: church row that tickles the devil into a frenzy of laughter,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: it is when a young married couple go home to
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: live with the family. There is about as much real
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: life joy and harmony in it as there would be
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: in a jungle picnic of monkeys and parrots. There is
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: just one place where large families can dwell together peacefully,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: the graveyard. It is contrary to natural law that families
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: have grown up should live together. When a cub bear
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: is old enough big enough to hunt for food and
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: comes back after he once goes out, his mother gives
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: him a mauling that makes him feel he would rather
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: starve than come back again. Does she love him, of course,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: she loves him to the limit of her instinct, loves
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: him to the point of pride that she wants him
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: to be a brave, daring, self reliant master of the forest.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: When the whelps of a lion get to be more
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: than playful kittens, the mother leads them into the jungle
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: slips away, leaving them to hunt. The young lions may
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: return to the old home, but their father and mother
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: have moved away to a distant den. To evolve their natures.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: To become supreme Denzians of the forest, they must rely
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: upon their own Take the eagle. When the mother eagle,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: by instinct knows the wings of her babies have become
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: strong enough to support their bodies, she pushes them out
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: of the airy. They fly, or will be dashed to
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: death on the rocks. They always fly. But you say
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: human beings are not bears, lions, or eagles, Well, humans
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: could well afford to attend the nature College of the
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: wild animals of the woods to learn the ethics of health, happiness,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: and the development of the individual. Treat your relatives royally,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: then let them alone. Keep out of their affairs. Try
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: to keep them out of your affairs. Be kind, generous, sympathetic,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: but keep out of the danger zone. Insist upon living
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: by yourself, living your own life, thinking your own thoughts,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: playing your part in life's drama. Parents wish they co
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: could hold their children. The way to hold them is
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: to let go of them. If you love them, you
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: will let go. Love is unselfish. God sent his only
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: son on the loneliest journey ever taken, and he came
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: back crowned with glory. God can live with lots of people,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: you and I can't. Abraham amounted to something God said
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: to him, Get thee out, and he went out, not
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: knowing whither he stayed until he became the head of
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: a people as numberless and brilliant as the stars of
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: the heaven. But Isaac hung around home, lived on his
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: father's greatness, and the only real thing he did that
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: was worth while was to redig some wells his father
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: had dug before him. The first time he saw his sweetheart, Rebecca,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: whom another man had to go and get for him,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: he lifted up his voice and cried like a boob.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: He had become soft on the mutton and grape juice
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: of his father. Tender little doves flit around the home coat,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: but the eagle sweeps from sun to sun. Anyhow, in
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: these modern days, children are very largely bringing up their
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: parents to kill a quarrel. Shut your mouth. There is
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: a world of sense in the saying sell your hammer
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: and buy a horn. There is one place we can
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: bear a boil and smile on the other fellow's neck.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Many people possess more than a thousand acres of possibilities
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and have about half an acre under cultivation. The best
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: way to exterminate mosquitoes would be to start a plan
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: to cultivate them as a money making commodity. Stop nagging, twitting, insinuating,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: suspecting those whose love you wish to hold. You assassinate
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: love when you ridicule it. Temper is the yeast of personality.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: No man or woman ever rises in the world without it.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: A razor knife, acts, or writer, actor minister. Without it
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: isn't worth a damn in any market. Never lose your temper.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Lose all things, but keep your temper. When I see
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: people who are great stickers as to form or attitude
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: in prayer, they remind me of my old neighbor Saxby,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: who fell into Bill Smith's well. He said, the prayingest
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: prayer I ever said was in that well, standing on
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: my head. Do you know the meanest thing about the
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: worst boy on your street? I will tell you it
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: is the fact that you do not like him, and
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: he knows it. God never made a mean boy. Parents
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: have made some, towns have made some, and cities have
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: made a host end of chapter three recording by Andrea Fiori.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Chapter four of Supreme Personality. This LibriVox recording is in
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: the public domain. Recording by Andrea Fiori. Supreme Personality by
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Delmer Eugene Croft, Chapter four. The supreme law of success.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Selling power, study out plans. Approach your customer or the
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: public with a definite plan. Here is one of simple power.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Attract the attention, secure the interest, carry the conviction, demand
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: the decision. Than in any line of business, you will
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: have your order book full. Selling power is confidence backed
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: up by the will. Success is ambition and desire driven
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: by the will. Do you desire success how much? When
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: you desire it as a starving man has hunger for food,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: you will win. Want to attain your ambition how much?
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: When your ambition becomes a thirst, a burning, consuming thirst,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: such as the lost traveler has in the blistering sands
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: of the desert, then you will achieve. What you want
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: is not opportunity. The world is flooded with golden opportunities.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: What you want is not a fair chance. Chances gleam
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: in your future sky fairer than the endless myriads of
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: stars that encrust with glittering splendor, the evening heavens. What
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: you do want is concentration, confidence, self reliance, desire, ambition,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: personal power, power of attraction. Make your purpose brilliant, keep
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: it clear, seek to energize it with positives. Do not
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: lumber up your plan, centralize it, modify it, create it
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: as a necessity. Form it into the indispensable. Then embody
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: yourself into it. See that nothing about you defeats or
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: neutralizes attraction. Have a burning interest in your proposition. Look
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: for fulfillment. Anticipate success. Make the world feel that you
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: know you are right. Stop asking folks if they think
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: you will succeed. Of course they do not, because they
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: have not. Hold your mind relaxed in silence, Make your
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: desire active, set your wishes in motion. Confidence attracts confidence,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Positives attract positives. Bring out your latent forces. They only
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: need arousing. Think and act your mental attitude. Have faith
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: in yourself, Arouse faith in others. Think in the affirmative.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Assert your hope and confidence. Root out every doubt. Help
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: someone out of their slew of doubt and despondency. Believe
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: in the world, in life, in growth, impossibilities. Let your
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: faith be as big and bright as the sun. Cast
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: not away your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Dwell in confidence. Hold fast your confidence and hope unto
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the end. Keep your mental attitude independent, keep it brave.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: Think of money as a means, not as an end.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Seek wealth for the power of service it gives. Have
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: a generous mental attitude. Help others succeed. Banish fear, worry, indecision, timidy, irresolution,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: anxiety from your mental acat attitude. They paralyze effort. Trust yourself,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: trust others. Have a mental attitude that is supreme, divine,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: and absolute. Spend your last dollar like a king. Gird
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: the loins of your mind with I will I can.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: All the mountains of difficulty will melt before your presence.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: Ambition and desire. Ambition is idealism. Desire is faith. You
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: cannot have either without the possibility of their fulfillment. Desires
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: come from supreme intelligence in the universe, and they are divine.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Therefore they are real, possible of positive realization. Keep them sacred,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Let them become the ideals of your life. Make them
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: glow with the fires of your energies. They spell success
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: and victory. They will crown your life if you will
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: breathe your life into them. Let your ambition make you irrepressible.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Avoid reactionary influences. Keep away from dull, stupid, inactive people.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Creative force and harmony. Be original, Think original thoughts, put
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: them into form, Invent and produce, create ideas. Feel complete
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: in yourself. Do not stand and wonder at what others
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: have done. Write at your feet lies a secret that
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: will enrich the world and make you famous. A thinker
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: discovered a substitute for the artist camel's hair brush by
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: taking the hair from inside a cow's ear. If you
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: work in an office, think up some outdoor vocation. Grow something,
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: raise something, get interested in animals, study the market near you, create,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: produce or raise something to sell. If not for money,
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: for the forces of life the work gives it will
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: keep you from habits, from speculating, from gambling, from politics
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: and other evils. Build something raised chickens, pets, sheep, cattle,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: or grow flowers, fruits, berries, Work with nature. This is
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: the very harmony of success. In it, you will be
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: in touch with universal intelligence, will get the inflow of
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: infinite life, and through it will keep growing your latent powers.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Take account of your personal abilities, your gifts, talents, forces, equipment.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: What percent are you using? Most people are not using
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: over twenty percent of their capital of personal power. The
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: eighty percent lies dormant. Why have only twenty percent of
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: your share of life, success, harmony, and happiness when you
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: should have one hundred percent. There are big prizes awaiting
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: your latent powers at every turn of the way. You
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: can read the sign. Want it. Men with power. There
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: is an unexplored continent in your being. Go into it.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Bring out its riches for yourself and for the world.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: Persistence in planning a plan is a mighty source of power.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Do not work and live hit or miss in your
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: activities day by day, have a plan. Sit in silence
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: a few moments each morning and create a plan. You
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: can double your efficiency. Think out a plan, open away,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: get effectual insight, keep your plan under your cap and
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: work it out. Persist in your plan, stick to it.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: Never grow sour or negative in your manner. Keep sweet.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: If your plan is blocked, dig in another direction, build
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: a new foundation, Shake off doubts and start new. Unless
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: your success makes you happy, it is not success. Deep
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: at the heart of the universe lies happiness. Live closely
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: to that heart in persistent power of service. Impersonate your desires.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Impersonate greatness, and you will become great. Impersonate loveliness, and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: you will become lovely. Why do actors become matinee idols?
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: They could readily marry a hundred times a month. It
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: is quite impossible for an actor to remain unmarried. What
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: is the secret? Can a person get it? Certainly? Here
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: it is Actors impersonate heroes, villains, model husband spans, daring
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: lovers in a real way. They think, plan and train
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: themselves to impersonate the character. They make it so real
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: that people think it must be a part of their nature.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: You can do it, young man, bachelor widower. If you
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: are only half a man, half a lover, impersonate a
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: whole one. If you are so bashful that it makes
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: you blush to walk with your best girl in the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: garden where the flowers are in bed, impersonate a dashing
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: dare devil scamp of fascination, and your sweetheart will faint
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: from adorable bliss and fall into your arms. If you
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: are a coward, impersonate a hero un till you are one.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: Do not stand on one foot or bite your finger nails,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: or tear the rim off your hat. Trying to tell
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: a beautiful, healthy, twentieth century young woman you love her,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: you'll be all to the mustard. Do something brave. Go
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: hire a kid that is a good swimmer to fall
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: into the lake as you and your sweetheart are walking past.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Then throw back your shoulders and tear off your coat
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: and leap in. The kid will get you to shore,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: but you'll be a hero in her eyes. Impersonate the hero,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: and you will win. The heroine. Young women, if you
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: would marry a hero, impersonate beauty, maiden, lady of quite
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: impossible age, if you would marry the best man in
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: the world, impersonate youth and beauty, dear languishing widow, if
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: you would marry a real man, impersonate youth, beauty, and wealth,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: you will win. The odds are much against you here
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: in the East, where in every state there are thousands
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: and thousands of more women than there are men. But
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: you will win. Men follow actresses around the world because
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: they impersonate love, passion, beauty, virtue, and nobleness. The men
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: really think actresses must possess what they portray. You see,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: it is all a matter of thinking. It does not
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: matter how many times a man has lost on the races.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: If he is a good sport, he will bet on
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: the next horse that looks good to him. Women need
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: to impersonate looking good, better, best, not on occasions only,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: but all the time. Men like women who are good pals.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: So ladies, impersonate sympathy, kindness, patience, good fellowship, enthusiasm in
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: the things that interest men. If you belong to the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: citrus family, impersonate the peach. If you belong to the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: nettle family, impersonate the violet. You may be so homely
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: that your face pains you, but think of the impersonations
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: of beauty you can buy at the drug store. Impersonate some.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: A young lady in Philadelphia lost her voice, and she
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: had nineteen proposals that year. Impersonate form. You may be
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: as angular as the streets in Boston, yet almost any
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: department store will shape you up. You may be so
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: fat that you haven't seen your feet in years. Still
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: you can impersonate so much good nature that men will
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: be attracted to you as flowers to the sun. Have
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: confidence in everything you do, even when you eat sausages
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: at a quick lunch next door to the dog catcher.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Hell is not paved with good intentions. Hell is paved
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: with sanctimonious pretensions. When you get up, where does your
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: lap go? When you love? Where does your hate go?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: After you have walked the floor all night trying to
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: get the baby to sleep, you can at least be
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: thankful that you do not live in green England, where
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: the nights are six months long. Avoid hot words and anger,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: you might tell the truth. A Chicago father thrashed his
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: son for being out late at night, then added, when
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: I was your age, my father would not let me
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: be out after dark. The boy answered, then you must
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: have had a devil of a father. The old man
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: came back hotly. I had a damned sight better father,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: than you have. Fretting is like a rocking chair. You
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: can do a great deal of agitating in it without
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: getting anywhere. Do not kick at the squirrel that runs
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: up to you in the park. It may be only
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: mistaken identity. He thought he saw a nut. Children radiate
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: truth they intuitively feel and express it. Elsie had been bad,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: and her mother sent her upstairs to talk it over
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: with God. After an hour, she came downstairs singing. Her
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: mother asked her what God had said to her. Oh,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: she replied, God said, great scott Elsie, don't feel badly.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of worse people in this house
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: than you are. End of chapter four. Recording by Andrea Fiury.

• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: power service. That is what a supreme body gives. Do
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: not always be taking care of your health. Take care
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: of your body and you will generate health. Thought animates
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: the body with health. This is age of electrification. We
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: are fed, lighted, heated, and transported by electricity. In the
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: lightning pace we are going, the body is neglected. Give
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: three minutes morning and night to the exercises below and
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: you will straighten, develop, heal, and energize your body. Enter
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: these exercises as you would an arena of conquest where
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: you expected to win the great prize of life. The
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: breath is life. Take a deep, full abdominal breath with
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: each body building exercise inhale through the nose and expel

• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: above the head, taking a deep, full abdominal breath as
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: you raise them. Relax and expel the breath forcefully through

  Speaker 1: the mouth. Repeat five times. Second exercise, place the left

• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: until the hands are lifted above the head, taking deep
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: breath as in the first exercise, Relax, expel breath, then
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: repeat with the right hand resisting the left. Repeat exercise
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: five times. Third exercise, Grasp the hands firmly above the head,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: letting them be at rest on top of the head.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Then pull hard from the right to left, slowly taking
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: the deep, full of dominal breath with each movement. Relaxing
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: and expelling as above. This and the above exercise are
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: wonderful in their effect in developing the lungs and rounding
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: out the development of the shoulders and chest. Repeat five times.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: Fourth exercise, Grasp hands in front level with chest, pull
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: from right to left hard, taking deep, full abdominal breath
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: with each movement, Relax and expel breath same as above.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Fifth exercise, grasp the hands behind the back, taking deep,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: full abdominal breath. Lift the hands as far up on
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: the back as possible, Relax, expel breath. Always draw in
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: the breath as you move through the exercise, having a
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: full breath. When the movement is completed, then expel. Sixth exercise,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: place right hand over right hip. Clench the left fist,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: raise it slowly, drawing the deep breath and bending the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: body to the right as far as possible. Relax, expel breath.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: Now repeat with the left hand placed over the left hip.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: Repeat five times. Seventh exercise, grasp hands in front of breast,
• 1:11:31

  Speaker 1: as possible without moving the feet. Take deep breath with
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: each movement. Repeat five times. Eighth exercise, raise hands above

  Speaker 1: the head, take a deep breath, and bend the body.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: Try to touch floor with finger, not bending the knees.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: Repeat five times. You can add other exercise to these,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: only be sure they have the deep breathing. These will
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: build a vigorous, developed supple body. We'll ward off every
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: form of asthma, catarrh, bronchial or lung trouble, stop indigestion,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: increase circulation, renew and make blood. Do all exercises in
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: well ventilated room. Have clothing loose. The best time is
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: on rising and on retiring. If they make you ache
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: at first, it is sure evidence of their doing you good.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: You will soon be too strong to have aches and pains.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Do not exhaust yourself in the exercises. Just take them
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: till the body glows and the muscles are well exercised.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Faithfully persist in these exercises and breathings. Marrying a goose
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: does not assure one of a bed of swan's down.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Never ask a man who gave him his black eye.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Nobody gave it to him. He probably had to fight
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: hard for it. When discussing the modern dress, keep in
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: mind that a bare statement is not necessarily the naked truth.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: There is a difference between notoriety and merit. A thousand
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: dollars worth of roses will barely fill a room with perfume,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: but with a dollar's worth of fried onions, you can
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: send up a whole town. The American people lose three
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: million years every twelve months by being sick. The doctor's
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: fees amount to a billion and two hundred and twenty million.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Wonder what the Master of Life meant when he said,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: I come that they might have life, and that they
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: might have it more abundantly. End of Chapter five. Recording

  Speaker 1: Supreme Personality by Delmer Eugene Croft, Chapter six, Supreme Internal Vibrations.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: Good digestion rules the world. Digestion is a matter of vibration.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: Indigestion is on the increase because people are more and
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: more sedentary in their habits. Walking is life's finest exercise,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: but people walk less now than ever. The human body's
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: greatest vibrator is the diaphragm. Arouse it and you will
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: arouse action in your digestive tract, your liver and kidneys.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: Continue vibration from one minute to as long as you please.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: If these vibrations are continued a few minutes each day,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: no cancer or tumor would develop, and the thousand different
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: stomach ills would disappear. The diaphragm is a great muscle
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: area stretched out for the stomach, intestines, and vital organs
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: to exercise on and to give them freedom. Vibrations for
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: the intestines begin slowly, take a deep breath, then vibrate
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: your abdomen in and out by using the inner muscles
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: of the diaphragm. Vibrate slowly, then more rapidly. Force the
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: vibrations downward upon the intestines. You may feel a little
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: pain at first, which shows the weakness of the intestinal
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: muscles that passes away. The diaphragm is the great digestive
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: engine of the body. Work it all. You can vibrations
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: for stomach and solar plexus. Raise the vibrations upward, just
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: as before, you force them downward. Repeat the series with
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: full breath several times. Also give the vibrations a little
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: twist of the body so as to get the circular
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: movement over the stomach. Vibrate the soer plexus with short,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: sharp vibrations far up into the chest. This will cover
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: the muscles of the lungs and of the heart. This
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: is a very essential work, as it gives new strength
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: to those muscles of the heart and lungs to ward
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: off acute tax of any kind vibration for torpid liver.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Direct the vibration to the right side. Do them strongly
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: so as to arouse the liver thoroughly. This is a
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: very important exercise as it bears directly on rheumatism. It
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: increases the acids, start secretions flowing. Rheumatism calls for dry climates,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: non act acid diet, avoid sweets and starch, take salt, water, bass,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: drink lithia water. Walk all you can change your work.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: Be sure to drink a cup of hot water each
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: morning on rising. Put a little salt in to help
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: cleanse the stomach of septic acids. Drink two cups all
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: the better constipation. The best vibration and advice is that above.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: For this trouble, be regular about going to the toilet
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: each morning. Eat vegetable diet, rye bread or gram eat
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: little meat. Chew your food to a liquid mastication. Keep
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: up the intestinal vibrations. In twenty days, your constipation will
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: be a trouble of the past. Headaches and biliousness. These
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: are the results of auto intoxication, the worry, hurry, eating fast,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: eating too much, over exerting, anxiety. All of these poison
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: the process of digestion and assimilation. Take a dose of epsom, salts,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: castor oil, or cascarasangrata. Then regulate your diet. Rest in
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: bed for a day. This done at once will save
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: many a siege of sickness obesity. Keep up the internal
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: vibrations all over the body. Keep up the exercises of
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: less than seventh. Reducing is a moral resolve to eat less.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: If you are a coward, you cannot reduce. If your
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: appetite that is unreal, unnatural, and dangerous makes you its slave,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: so that you eat five thousand units of food when
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: three thousand is a great sufficiency, then you lack moral
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: will force to reduce. Drink the hot water as above,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: or put it into a little lemon juice. When you
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: feel hunger, come on, drink a cup of the lemon
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: hot water. Just a few drops of the lemon juice.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Get so you can go without your noon lunch except
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: one half slice of bread and a cup of hot
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: water one quarter milk. Keep up walking, keep up the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: body building exercises. Rub and massage the face and neck.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: Do not eat fat, pastry, confection, or starchy foods. Eat slowly,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: fletcherize each mouthful it will reduce you, give you a
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: new taste of flavors not known to the glutton a bore,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: being fat, unshapely, and be unhappy over it. But never
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: tell others how you feel. Keep yourficiencies to yourself, master them,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: be free of them. Then living will become a joy,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: your body a daily delight, and you shall possess a
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: supreme personality. Have a new body. There is no condition,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: physical or mental that cannot be changed. Even deformities and
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: efficiencies can be improved. Set your mind on what you
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: want to be, then work for it. Set a mark
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: at what you wish to weigh, and then bravely, happily,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: with joyous courage, seek to attain it. You will command
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: your body keep moving towards your ideal. Health is a
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: result of harmony by the force of will. Acting in
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: obedience to the mind is the body made perfect. You
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: are no fool if you know how to sin charmingly.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: The most fertile source of family trouble on earth is
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: an inheritance. Do not spend your life leading asses to
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: fountains of wisdom, for you cannot make them think. The
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: life path of many people is like York Street in
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: New haven. It begins with a hospital, is populated with doctors,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: and ends at the cemetery. All nature is triune, earth,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: water atmosphere. Her agents are heat, light, electricity, ether, magnetism, aura.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: Her kingdoms are mineral, vegetable animal. Her animal life is aquatic, terrestrial, aerial.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: Her formations are angular, circular, spiral man. Her highest creation
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: is physical, mental, spiritual. If you cannot realize your ideal, idealize,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: your real sleep is one of nature's sanctuaries. An alarm
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: clock has no more right to disturb it than a
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: foghorn has to blow off in a prayer meeting. Be
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: glad when you meet a crank. He may give you
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: a suggestion that will make you a self starter. Very
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: few men are smart enough to fill five reels which
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: genuine daredevil acts a villainy and get away with it
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: by coming out an angel at the end of the film.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: Heart failure is largely acute indigestion from selfishness. Sunstroke is
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: quite likely brought on by anger and anxiety head up
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: by relatives. Apoplexy is hate breaking up housekeeping. Paresis is
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: free love embellished with champagne. Appendicitis is a six cylinder
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: appetite hitch to a half horse power ambition. Nervous prostration
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: is a self love movie trying to cover the earth
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: in a single reel. Pneumonia is vanity overheated in seal skin.

  Speaker 1: Chapter seven, Supreme Mental Healing, the Supreme Mind. The previous
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: lessons give you the key to supreme mental healing. Your
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: mind is limitless. Begin where you may. Conditions do not count.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: No matter how weak, how isolated, how deep in the
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: mire of trouble, you can rise. You can be free,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: You can be renewed. You may have a whole library
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: of all sorts of books and treaties on healing. You
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: may have a library of biology and pathology, but you
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: can never read yourself well. What you need is what
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: I have sought to give you positive working plans. It
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: takes some work to build a hut, more to build
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: a comfortable home, still more to build a palace of luxury.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: How much mind and will work are you willing to devote,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: to build your body into a temple of the living God.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: Mental confusion, Make an easy plan for each day. Relax
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: your mind tension, let down your body tension. Eat less,
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: drink water, walk in the open air. Change your thought
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: to new plans, new work. Let go of the past,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with the future. Sweep aside the
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: odds and ends that litter your mind. Let go by
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: denying them any place in your mind. Talk with strong people,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: Leave weak useless people alone. Take a salt bath by
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: going into the ocean or in your own tub using
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: a full pint of common salt. Do not tell your
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: troubles to another. Help another in trouble to get out,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: and you will get out yourself. Make new plans. Worry
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: and fear. Ask yourself this question, how many things have
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: I worried about and feared ever happened to me? You
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: will see how few and only those you attracted. Worry
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: is lost energy. It is like a rocking chair keeps
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: going but never gets anywhere. It is like a mill
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: owner starting all the machinery of his mill, then going away,
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: leaving it running to injury and destruction. It is a
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: miserable habit. It makes you and others near you unhappy.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: It destroys your usefulness, injures your health, kills joy Quit
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: the habit how by forming new plans of thought, work, expression, activity,
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: and living only one day at a time. Stop resisting struggling,
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: let go of selfish purpose and start loving. Make a change,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: start new, grow something, make something. Laugh when you think
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: you are going to cry depressive moods. Dress a light
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: colors pink, lavender, green, red, Get away from browns, blacks,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: and dead colors. Try blue. If you are nervous, eat
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: very lightly, walk till tired. Take the salt water bath,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: not hot, but cool. Stop self pity. Change your surroundings,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: even if all you can do is to turn your
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: bed around. Seek new people, make new plans daily nervous troubles.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Build your body with my lesson fifth, take plenty of nourishment,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: sleep in the middle of the day. Simplify your daily living.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: Keep away from sick and unhappy people. Stop talking about
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: your own trials, Let go drop fretting over trifles, check
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: selfish desires, go afield with the sheep, and do not
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: let your housework make you a slave. Plan some new
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: outlet do something different, banish anger, forget self, help some
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: lame dog across the street, borrow a poor child and
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: go out to the zoo. Lift up someone who is down.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: Do strong things. Avoid excitement, keep out of the crowd.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: Check strife and antagonism. Get the happy habit. Think one
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: thing at a time. Let that be a pleasant thing. Insomnia, retire,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: loving the world, letting go of self. Drink a cup
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: of hot water, quarter milk with a bit of salt.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: Relax mind and body. Say the word sleep. Just with
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: the rhythmic swing of a clock pendulum. Slowly, you will sleep.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: Be rid of habits. Quit making excuses for the habit,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: stop lying about its being hereditary. Resolve and you are free.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: Keep away from the cause of your habit. Shame yourself
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: when you commit it. Praise yourself when you master at once.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: Destroy the desire of your habit by putting a good
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: desire in its place. Stop buying tobacco or drink, and
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: buy flowers, music, or a farm. Rouse your will severely
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: call yourself to account when you slip. Stop talking about
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: how you suffer or how hard it is. Talk about
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: the victory when you are tempted. Sit in silence ten
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: minutes and say I am supreme. You will win over
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: any habit that you may have. Change your position, change
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: your work, change your associations. Drinking and smoking are the
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: major habits that enslave men. The moment you become disgusted
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: with a habit, it loses power over you. When you
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: get moral courage enough to hate it, it will flee
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: from you. You may conquer it in five days, or
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: it may be five weeks. Just set aside a vacation
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: of that time and fight a battle for supreme manhood.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: Have confidence in yourself, arouse your will to splendid self mastery.
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: Have a motive for being rid of your habit. Have enthusiasm.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: Be determined not to travel through life loaded with a
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: kit of bad smelling smoking tools. Smoking does not stimulate
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: nor aid digestion. It does not clear the brain nor
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: soothe the nerves. It is quite the opposit. The same
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: is true of the liquor habit. A habit is a deficiency.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: It is a vicious enemy that mars and defeats supreme personality.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: We become like the things we think. Retire from business
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: every night, start in business anew every morning. It isn't
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: the mountain ahead that wears you out. It is the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: grain of sand in your shoe. All life is divine,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: limitless in sensation, supreme in expressions. Get life, get well,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: get strong, get wisdom, get expression, get in love. And
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 1: men seeing your good works will glorify your Father, which
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: is in heaven. End of chapter seven. Recording by Andrea Fiori.

• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: Delmer Eugene Croft. Chapter eight. Supreme power of magnetism are
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: magnetic monochrome. You can prepare your own magnetic monochrome by
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: careful study of the colors which most influence you. These
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: will vary with the physical temperament of different people. The
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: primary healing colors are crimson, scarlet, dark blue, dark green,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: lively yellow, violet, and purple. The primary inspirational colors are
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: light blue, pale green, rose, pink, lavender, lively red. From
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: these you can form your monochrome of almost endless results.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: It is wise and best to select and use just
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: those colors which will give you the greatest intensity of vibration.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: Once you have found your responsive and sympathetic colors. Those
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: grouped together form your magnetic monochrome. Magnetism is the highest
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: form of physicalized power in the universe. It knows no resistance.
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: It passes through all substances and pervades all space. It
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: is the most vital power in the universe. Our modern
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: life presents a magnetic paradox. It affords the greatest development
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: of magnetism and is the greatest destroyer of it. It
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: is generated by the brain, flows to the right through
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: the body in the form of a figure eight, from
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: the brain to the solar plexus, across to the left side,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: then down to the pro creative organs, and through to
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: the right side and up to the solar plexus again,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: and through to the left side and up to the brain.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: The solar plexus is the body's great life center personal magnetism.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: Keep steadily cultivating magnetism or your supply of human electricity.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: The solar plexus is the great sympathetic center of the
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: nervous system. Keep it aroused and active and you will
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: increase your magnetic forces. Sensation, emotion, and intensity of expression
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: rise from the solar plexus. Magnetism is generated by brain
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: forces focalized by thoughts, the nerves are the medium of transfusion.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: Colors increase the vibrations. The moist palm of the hand
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: forms an electrode when applied to any affected ps art
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: the brain by thought starts the magnetic currents of healing
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: force through the arm into the part treated. Let your
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: eyes rest on the color of the monochrome used. The
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: current will then be complete. By practice, you can greatly
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: intensify the healing thoughts and so increase the flow of magnetism.
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: While giving yourself the treatment, or to others, Breathe deeply
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: and regularly. Have the body relaxed. While treating better lying down,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: have your eyes on the color. Also, if treating another,
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: have them look at the same color mental disorders. In
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: all mental disorders like hysteria, grief, distress, fear, melancholy, select
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: that color from your monochrome that most soothes your particular temperament.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: It may be light green, or yellow, or pink, or
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: one of the blues. You will soon be able to
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: quickly tell which gives the greater relief. Use only one
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: color at a time. You will find that after a
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: little you can summon to your mind the color you
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: desire without even using the actual color in the monochrome
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: in case of injuries. In case of injuries, swellings, inflammation,
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: local pain, apply both hands where possible. Have the palm
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: of the hands always moist to start the process of
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: thinking that will arouse the magnetic currents. Think of the
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 1: affected part as well. Think of the pain as leaving now.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: In treating the heart for palpitation, think of it as
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: quiet as strong. Praise the heart for its wonderful endurance
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: and power. Or through the past years, think of the strong,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: abounding heart of an ox or moose, and think that
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: strength into your heart, that your heart is like it
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 1: in power. You will see a decided improvement. Use the
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: colors of the monochrome in such cases as will give
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: you the best vibration. The color that best responds to you.
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: Try the red, violet blue. Most heart troubles are not
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: troubles at all, but troubles of digestion. Give attention to
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: diet and keep your intestinal tract clear. Treating the eyes
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 1: and ears In all troubles of the eyes and ears,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: apply the hands over the eyes, letting the palms rest firmly,
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: but not pressing upon the eye. With the fingers up
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: over the forehead, of course, having the eyes closed. Also
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: treat with one palm over the eye and the other
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: at the base of the brain. Use the colors of
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: the monochrome that give the highest intensity of magnetic response,
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: the purple, violet, blues, and green. In treating the ears,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: do the same. Place the palm on each side of
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: the neck. Also treat the throat with both palms and
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: with single treatment of one palm. It is not necessary
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: that both hands be used at once, but it increases
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: the force to do so. Treating the solar plexus. Treat
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: the solar plexus daily by resting both hands lightly but
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: firmly over the pit of the stomach. Use the colors crimson, dark, blue, violet,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: and purple. Untwist your solar plexus by cheerful thinking. Get
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: new life force into its withered and neglected condition. Invalidism
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: is only a withered solar plexus. Cultivate laughter to arouse it.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: Work at laughter until you sweat profusely. Do the same
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: by walking and other exercises. Stimulate life in your solar plexus,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: and you will return to youth. As I have said,
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: the solar plexus is the great magnetic center. Keep it
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: actively healthy, bathe it with sunshine. Entreating the kidneys, place
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: the palm of the hands over them flatly, and use
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: the colors as above. Treat the stomach and liver with
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: the same colors. Also treat the lungs. The length of
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: time for a treatment can vary from two minutes to
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: any length. Ofttimes, the soothing effect will induce sleep, as
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: placing the palms over the temples for nervous headache. The
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: more you develop the magnetism, the more readily will the
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: effect be accomplis provoke an evil, and you produce it.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: The place to feel for the poor is in your pocket.
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 1: A kiss is something like gossip. It goes from mouth
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: to mouth. Chewing gum is like worrying, a useless waste
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: of energy. Keeping close tabs on the calendar and clock
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: induces the creepy feeling of old age. Have nothing to
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: do with useless people. You cannot get wool by shearing
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 1: a hydraulic ram. The mothers of America wohin and near
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: by day reset the corner stones of this republic never stop.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 1: A man running with a hat box in his hand,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: it may be his wife's hat that he is trying
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: to get home before the style changes. Dress youthfully, keep
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: out of shadows, love the sunlight, fresh air. The world
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: and the people in the world live for others. Let
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: the howlers howl, let the growlers growl, Let the scowlers scowl,
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: and the geegauz go it. You keep in the light,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: Be brave in your fight. You'll win all right, and
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: I know it. Anonymous end of chapter eight recording by

  Speaker 1: Personality by Delmer Eugene Croft, Chapter nine. The supreme law
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: of telepathy. Life is spirit. The spirit of man is
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: the candle of the Lord. Just in the degree you
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: think and exercise your supreme nature, will you know the
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: power of the Spirit. Spirit is the essence and manifestation
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: of life. Through it you shall realize, shall experience, shall see,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: shall know, shall live. His ministering spirits go to and
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: fro through all the earth, doing his good pleasure. Nothing
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: can come except we attract and draw it. Nothing can
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: stay with us when we let it go. All are
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: made one by the Spirit. You are an enthroned being.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: Around you are forces of the spirit waiting to do
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: your bidding. The moment you attract them, the windows of
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: the universe are opened, and the power of the Spirit
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: is poured upon you. It is everywhere. Its glory fills
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: the earth, radiant in the glories of the sunset, shining
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: in the soft light of the moon, leaming in the
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: lovely star, waiting to minister to your needs, to fulfill
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 1: your desires, to comfort you, to restore you, to endow
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: you with power. You are of the supreme Spirit. The
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: law of telepathy. It is a supreme law whereby one
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 1: soul may reach and minister unto another soul. It is
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: spirit manifested through thought waves. It is magnetism spiritualized. It
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 1: is a mystic wonder of spiritual manifestations. It inspires visions, dreams, premonitions,
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: and through vibration of wave thoughts, gives universal communion sole
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: companionship to the children of light. To use the law,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: sit in silence, relaxed, Summon a mental picture of the
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: person you wish to reach, get clearly as possible the
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 1: actual presence in your mind. Then begin to send the
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: wave thoughts by repeating impressively to yourself or allowed the
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: message of your code. Never try to do this when tired, exhausted,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: or excited. Think intently on the message and your desire
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: to reach the mind of the person you wish to aid.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 1: Students should practice both sending and receiving telepathic messages and
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: influences daily. Never think that the will, condition, or temperament
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: of the person to whom they are directed will retard, obstruct,
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: or destroy your work. Act and supreme command. Put all
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: the intense force of your will into your wave thoughts.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: Magnetic ethers will be your messengers. You will likely get
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 1: a direct response in a wave unison, or it may
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 1: come later after your work is done. The student should
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: bear in mind also that they may and should develop
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: original work make new and personal codes. The purpose of
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: codes is to unify the wave motion and keep the
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: mind intense. Beware of selfish purpose, revenge hate. These are
• 1:45:21

  Speaker 1: endure between us. The springs of kindness shall be open
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: to us. I am listening to your spirit. We shall
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: be led into truth, love, and happiness. Our love is
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: per We shall not err you. Hear the voice of
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: my wish for you. You know my mind. All promises and
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 1: truth are perfect. All is light. There is no darkness
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: between us. There is no distance or obstacle between us.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: Your mind answers to my mind, your heart to my heart,
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: your soul to my soul. When tempted, I am near
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 1: to withhold you. When disheartened, I will inspire you. Day
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: and night are the same. You shall not falter. Our
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: vision shall be made real. Our desires, heart longings, soul,
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: hunger shall be satisfied. Our future hope shall be actualized,
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: Our destinies realized in the pavilions of silence. Your life
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: and my life are the rate units of the life.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: Perfect build the world with thought waves. The dire curse
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: of this world is idleness. Some are working too hard,
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 1: while a vast multitude, idly look on. Don't be a looker,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: be a doer. Don't be a knocker, be a booster.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: Idleness is a sin. The wages of sin is death.
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: That is why people who stop working soon die off.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: If a man will not work, neither shall he eat.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: He can't eat long, he loses his appetite, spoils his digestion,
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: gets heart failure. When you retire from business, from work,
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: from active, aggressive occupation, you want to buy your lot
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: in the graveyard at once. If I were rich, do
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: you say stuff and nonsense? If you were rich, you
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: would be a unbearably meaner than you are now, a
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: hundred times more stupidly useless. What you need is punch.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: You have lost your grip, grit, and punch, and no
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: matter if you are ninety years old, you can get
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: them all back. How listen, build the world with thought waves.
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: Begin with your world. What is it? The kitchen or
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 1: the school room, the ditch or the mayor's chair, the
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 1: field or as superintendent of a railroad, a brickyard or
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: a bank, a bench or a pulpit, a loom or
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: grand opera, a pick or a pen. Take a look
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 1: at your world? What is it now, plan it, then
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: breathe life into your plan. You cannot help others until
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: you help yourself. You cannot save others and not be
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: worth saving yourself. You are supreme, and this is your
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: ultimate hour. You are under the law of liberty. Go
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: to your own free of all outward restraints, forms, commands,
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 1: and laws. You are an absolute unit of God power
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: in the universe. You shall be judged only by this
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: law of liberty, the best in you and the highest
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: good of others. Use this personal code as you work.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: Personal code. I am power, I am life, I am energy,
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: I am fearless, I am strong, I am free, I
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 1: am success, I am well. Faith is clear, bright shining
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: within me. I shall be guided, I shall be given wisdom.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: I shall triumph. That personal code, given ten minutes a day,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: will double your power of efficiency in six months. Stick
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: to it each day, Drive it harder, bring out your abilities, insight, courage, daring,
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: and boost yourself. Energy is something you generate, just as
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: the dynamo generates electricity. Start your mental and physical dynamo.
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 1: Freight thought waves with your desires and send them out.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: They will come back richly laden for you. Load your smiles,
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: heart throbs good wishes onto thought waves and send them
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: out to serve others, Cheer others, give hope to others,
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: to help others across the hard places. They will come
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: back bearing to you some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, and some hundredfold.
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: Happiness comes through loving service. The student should have faith
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: in the work entered upon. It is founded upon law
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: and fact. Some day the law will be made fully
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: clear and operative in all departments of life. The wireless
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 1: telegraph is a step in the demonstration. Recently, a young
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: woman in Elizabeth, New Jersey, was awakened by thought waves
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: after all medical applications had failed to arouse her from
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: a six days sleep. An acquaintance of the authors was
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: worn by thought waves from his mother to avoid danger.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: He was so deeply impressed that he delayed a day
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: his western trip, and so missed the train that went
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: down at Ashtabula. A husband who was some miles distant
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: transacting business, received the thought waves from his wife that
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: she was in danger. He hastened with all speed and
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: found his home in Flames. A young lady felt the
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: impress of thought waves from a young man to whom
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: she was engaged, and decided not to join a boting party.
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: On the return trip, the pleasure launch took fire, and
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 1: six of the party perished. A whole volume could be
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: filled with most interesting cases of positive results of telepathy
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: or thought waves. But let the student begin and test
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 1: the marvels of this mystical power. Never squeal, live with
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: stand by, die for your friends. The seventh circle of
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: hell is reserved for squealers. The last word start Now,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: get thee out, Launch out into the deep darkness. Shall
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: be a pavilion around you. Angels of light stand by
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: your side. This supreme hour is yours. Set sail, Realize
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: yourself as supreme, infinite, immortal. Then divine crown with glory
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 1: your individuality. Now are we the sons of God, limitless life,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: boundless capacities of power. Shut your eyes to the flesh,
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: Shut your ears to the world, Shut your heart to fear,
• 1:55:20
  Speaker 1: shut your soul to hate. Stick to the chase until
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: you get the trophy. Search for the holy grail, and
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: tell true love's untiring ministry. The cup in your unselfish
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: hand sparkles and flashes in the crimson and sapphire glory
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: of your quest. Burst from your chrysalis of doubt, and
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: the supreme wings of the spirit shall sweep you forward
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: to triumph. There is no gloom in God's universe except
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: what we make ourselves. The skies sparkle with possibilities, calling
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: you into their glowing fields of power and service. Get
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: passion into your chilled soul, Master Fate, span the universe.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: Hurl forth the thunderbolts of your energy, and the mountains
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: of difficulty will be cast into the sea. Take your
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: place in the sun. Stop rivaling God by saying you
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: are a warm of the dust, a miserable sinner, and
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: that there is no good within you. Quit damning yourself.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: Nothing is impossible. You hold the key to the universe.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 1: Mind is supreme thought, limitless. Weave your spirit out of sunbeams.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: Seize the glittering stars, and they will become your chariots.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: You and the universe of God are one to day
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: is eternal, This shining moment is everlasting. Lift your eyes
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: to visions that gleam through the purple clouds of loveliness,
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: from the matchless forms of beauty, and you shall see
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 1: the invisible. Listen to the voices that unseal the velvet
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: lips of silence, and you shall hear the inaudible, put
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: forth your supreme hand unto dominions, principalities, and powers, and
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: you shall do the impossible. If you wish time to
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: go fast, use the spur of the moment. Women were
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: never so attractive, never dress so beautifully as now, and
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: they never wore so few clothes. Blame no one if
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 1: you are unhappy, for every law, force, and influence in
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: the universe is for your harmony and happiness. Use them.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: Cheer up. You are all right if you are bald
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: headed outside. If you are not bald inside, Remember Sampson
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: did his biggest killing after he lost his hair. Your
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: bald head is like paradise. There's no parting there. Your
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: teeth may be out and your hair may be thin,
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: Yet there's many a good tune in an old violin.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: The optimist sees the doughnut. The pessimist sees the hole.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: The pessimist asks, is there any milk in that pitcher?
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: The optimist asks, will you please pass the cream. A
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: pessimist is a man who winds an eight day clock
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: every night. An optimist is a man who gives his
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 1: clock away so as not to lose any good time.
• 1:58:32
  Speaker 1: Winding it. A pessimist is a person so disagreeable he
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: won't eat anything that agrees with him. An optimist is
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: a person who can eat a cottage pudding so agreeably
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: that you think he is enjoying a Brownstone palace on
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: riverside drive. God give us men a time like this
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: Men whom the lust of office does not kill, Men
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: whom the spoil of office does not buy, Men who
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: possess opinions and will men who have honor, men who
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: will not lie. Men who can stand before a demagogue
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 1: and damn his treacherous flatteries without winking. Tall men sun crowned,
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: who live above the fog in public duty and in
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: private thinking. J. G. Holland, the author of these lessons,
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: has been a student of psychotherapy, mental suggestions, and the
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: laws of personal power for twenty eight years. During that time,
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: has lectured extensively in the United States, and by direct
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: and indirect personal advice, has helped many thousands of men
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: and women to overcome severe forms of mental, physical, and
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: personal conditions, restoring them to active usefulness. If your friends
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: cannot secure these lessons of their bookseller, have them send
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: direct to the author, enclosing twenty five cents coin. No
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 1: person among all the millions of the earth can make
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 1: you unhappy, except yourself. My new method of mental induction
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: and personal advice and instruction develops four psychic forces. Let
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: me help you solve your difficult personal problems, situations or conditions.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: I can aid you to be free of mental confusion,
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: distracting circumstances, and entangling difficulties. I will help you to
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: open new paths, create new conditions, obtain new visions, and
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: achieve a positive mastery. A world of new realities, rich opportunities,
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: brilliant possibilities await your gifts, talents, and abilities. You may
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: and should have success, happiness, harmony, and love. You possess
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: sources of dynamic energy, intuition, and inductive power. Your age
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: does not matter. You can start anew state your case
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: clearly and briefly. I will also answer for you five
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: questions upon personal matters concerning which you may desire specific information, advice,
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: or guidance. Your confidence is kept inviolate through my new
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: method of mental induction. I work for you and with
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: you daily for the full realization of your desires. My
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: terms are two dollars in advance, your money back if
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: I fail to help you write your name and address
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: clearly address, Doctor Croft, New Haven, Connecticut. No power on
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: this earth can keep you down. If you will to rise,
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: Smile while you can, young man, for some day you
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: may marry your employer's daughter and become a millionaire. Then
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: you can't smile. The devil laughed over time when he
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: inspired the alarm clock. There was once a man who
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 1: found a fat white grub eating his cucumber vines. He
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: did not swear over it, but took it out to
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: sea and caught a scad with it that supplied food
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: for himself and family of nine children for a whole day.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 1: That is initiative. End of Chapter nine recording by Andrea Fiori.
