- 0:01Speaker 1: After studying the various mystical religions and different teachings and
- 0:05Speaker 1: systems of mind stuff, one is impressed with the fact
- 0:09Speaker 1: that they all have the same basic modus operendi, and
- 0:13Speaker 1: that is through repetition. This brings us to the law
- 0:23Speaker 1: of suggestion, through which all forces operating within its limits
- 0:28Speaker 1: are capable of producing phenomenal results. It is the power
- 0:34Speaker 1: of suggestion and auto suggestion your own to yourself or
- 0:38Speaker 1: hetero suggestion coming to you from outside sources that starts
- 0:42Speaker 1: the machinery into operation or causes the subconscious mind to
- 0:46Speaker 1: begin its creative work and write. Here is where the
- 0:50Speaker 1: affirmations and repetitions play their part. It's the repetition of
- 0:58Speaker 1: the same chant, the same incantation, the same affirmations that
- 1:03Speaker 1: lead to belief, and once that belief becomes a deep conviction,
- 1:11Speaker 1: things begin to happen. In the depression years, we saw
- 1:21Speaker 1: this same suggestive force working overtime. Day after day. We
- 1:26Speaker 1: heard the expression times are hard, business is poor, the
- 1:31Speaker 1: banks are failing, prosperity hasn't a chance, and wild stories
- 1:35Speaker 1: about business failures on every hand. Until they became the
- 1:38Speaker 1: national chant, millions believed that prosperous days would never return
- 1:46Speaker 1: one hundred, just thousands of strong willed men went down
- 1:49Speaker 1: under the constant hammering, the continuous tap tapping of the
- 1:53Speaker 1: same fear vibratory thoughts. Money always sensitive, runs to cover
- 2:00Speaker 1: when fear suggestions begin to circulate, and business failures and
- 2:04Speaker 1: unemployment follow quickly. We heard thousands of stories of bank failures,
- 2:14Speaker 1: huge concerns going to the war, and people believe them
- 2:18Speaker 1: readily and acted accordingly. Success or failure in business is
- 2:25Speaker 1: caused more by mental attitude rather than by mental capacities.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Let's consider charms, talismans, amulets, good luck pieces, four leaf clovers,
- 2:41Speaker 1: old horseshoes or rabbits, foot and countless other trinkets which
- 2:44Speaker 1: thousands of people believe in by themselves. They are inanimate,
- 2:49Speaker 1: harmless objects without power, but people breathe life into them
- 2:54Speaker 1: by thinking they do have power, even though the power
- 2:57Speaker 1: isn't in them per se. The power comes only with
- 3:00Speaker 1: the believing, which alone makes them effective. In assuming the virtue,
- 3:09Speaker 1: you are assuming via your imagination. But here we must
- 3:13Speaker 1: make a distinction between day dreaming and a true mental
- 3:16Speaker 1: picture or proper use of the imagination. When you employ
- 3:21Speaker 1: your imagination properly. You see yourself doing a thing, and
- 3:25Speaker 1: you go ahead and do it. It's the doing the thing
- 3:29Speaker 1: you have pictured to yourself that brings it into actual existence.
- 3:36Speaker 1: In this connection, think about the use of the magnifying class.
- 3:40Speaker 1: When properly focused, it will gather the light from the
- 3:42Speaker 1: sun and concentrate it so that the heat will burn
- 3:45Speaker 1: a hole in the object on which the rays are focused.
- 3:51Speaker 1: It must be held steady before the heat power is developed,
- 3:55Speaker 1: and so it is with the holding of the image
- 3:57Speaker 1: or the mental picture. However, it is very difficult for
- 4:03Speaker 1: the average person to concentrate for any length or time,
- 4:06Speaker 1: to say nothing of holding onto a mental picture for
- 4:08Speaker 1: any great period. You are constantly being swayed by what
- 4:13Speaker 1: you read and hear, and as a result, the coordinating
- 4:16Speaker 1: part of this creative force turns to gathering together all
- 4:19Speaker 1: these scattered elements in a focused mass, instead of devoting
- 4:22Speaker 1: itself to making a clear and dynamic picture of your desire.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Don't give anyone an inkling of what you desire. The
- 4:35Speaker 1: truth is that when you talk about what you're going
- 4:37Speaker 1: to do, you scatter your forces. You lose the close
- 4:40Speaker 1: connection you have with the subconscious. Go and tell no
- 4:46Speaker 1: man still holds true, the repetition will be the means
- 4:52Speaker 1: of driving the suggestion deeply and firmly into the subconscious mind.
- 4:58Speaker 1: It has been my observation that those who consciously use
- 5:02Speaker 1: this science, as well as those who may be using
- 5:04Speaker 1: it unconsciously, are people of tremendous energies, virtually human dynamos.
- 5:10Speaker 1: They are people who not only use their imagination and
- 5:12Speaker 1: hold strong beliefs and convictions, but they are great doers
- 5:17Speaker 1: in action. And that brings me to this most important statement.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Faith without action is dead. Sooner or later, there will
- 5:28Speaker 1: come an intensity that will reveal the intensity of your thought.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Emerson wrote that every man carries in his eyes the
- 5:37Speaker 1: exact indication of his rank. Remember that your own gradation
- 5:44Speaker 1: or position in life is marked by what you carry
- 5:47Speaker 1: in your eyes. So develop eyes that say confidence. Often
- 5:56Speaker 1: I have thought of this matter of desire and suggestion
- 5:59Speaker 1: in connection with the planting of vegetable or flower seeds.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Once the soil is prepared and the tiny seeds are
- 6:05Speaker 1: placed in it, it only takes a short time until
- 6:08Speaker 1: they begin to root and sprouts begin to appear. The
- 6:11Speaker 1: moment they start upward through the soil in search of light,
- 6:14Speaker 1: sunshine and moisture. Obstacles mean nothing to them. They will
- 6:19Speaker 1: push aside small stones or bits of wood, and if
- 6:21Speaker 1: they can't do that, there extend themselves and grow around them.
- 6:27Speaker 1: As so it can be with you and the suggestions
- 6:29Speaker 1: you'll give to your subconscious mind. The results will be
- 6:33Speaker 1: pure or complex, depending upon the original seed and the
- 6:36Speaker 1: attention which you give it. In other words, plant the
- 6:39Speaker 1: right kind of seed and habitually feeded with strong affirmative thought,
- 6:44Speaker 1: always directed towards the same end, it will grow into
- 6:50Speaker 1: a mighty force, finding ways and means of overcoming all obstacles.
- 7:01Speaker 1: We seldom realize how much our emotional vibrations affect others
- 7:05Speaker 1: and how much we are affected by theirs. An extremely
- 7:08Speaker 1: nervous person in a position of authority can put nearly
- 7:11Speaker 1: every person associated with them into a nervous state. It's
- 7:17Speaker 1: always important to remember that a negative person can raise
- 7:21Speaker 1: havoc in an organization or a home. The same amount
- 7:26Speaker 1: of damage can be done by a strong negative personality
- 7:29Speaker 1: as good can be done by a positive one. When
- 7:34Speaker 1: the two are pitted together against one another, the negative
- 7:37Speaker 1: frequently becomes the more powerful. To get a better understanding
- 7:42Speaker 1: of the effect, of these suggestive vibrations. You need only
- 7:45Speaker 1: to read your varying feelings. When entering different offices or homes.
- 7:50Speaker 1: The atmosphere, which is the creation of the people living there,
- 7:54Speaker 1: can be instantly detected as being upsetting, disturbing, tranquil, or harmonious.
- 8:02Speaker 1: The vibrations set up by others affect us much more
- 8:05Speaker 1: than we realize. We take on the characteristics of those
- 8:09Speaker 1: with whom we are more or less constantly associated. If
- 8:14Speaker 1: you want to remain a positive type, avoid associating too
- 8:18Speaker 1: much with anyone who has a negative or pessimistic personality.
- 8:26Speaker 1: A person who desires riches must go where the riches
- 8:30Speaker 1: are alone, or a desert I have, and a man
- 8:33Speaker 1: would probably have a tough time eking out a living,
- 8:36Speaker 1: to say nothing of trying to amass a fortune. The
- 8:43Speaker 1: right mental attitude, being properly attired, keeping your eyes straight
- 8:49Speaker 1: ahead and fixed on your goal, throwing around you the
- 8:52Speaker 1: proper aura, which is done by an act of your
- 8:55Speaker 1: imagination or an extension of your personal magnetism, will work wonders.
- 9:12Speaker 1: When man fully comprehends the great power of his mind
- 9:15Speaker 1: and earnestly puts it to work, he will have dominion
- 9:19Speaker 1: over this earth and everything on it. You yourself have
- 9:23Speaker 1: this inner spark, but it must be fanned until the
- 9:27Speaker 1: fire is of white hot intensity, and it must be
- 9:30Speaker 1: constantly stoked, which you do by adding fuel, ideas, ideas,
- 9:38Speaker 1: more ideas, and actual I have tried to make plain
- 9:49Speaker 1: how this power through belief can be developed and to
- 9:52Speaker 1: take you up the ladder as far as you wish
- 9:55Speaker 1: to go. It is necessary, though, to point out that
- 9:58Speaker 1: it is easy to lose one's belief for faith. Thousands
- 10:07Speaker 1: have risen to great heights of success, only to stumble, roll,
- 10:11Speaker 1: or fall to undreamed of depths. There are many weakening
- 10:15Speaker 1: factors and influences, all suggestive in nature, which we in
- 10:20Speaker 1: unguarded moments, allowed a slip into our subconscious minds. Once
- 10:29Speaker 1: these influences begin their destructive work, they can undo all
- 10:34Speaker 1: the good accomplished by our constructive forces. So step out
- 10:41Speaker 1: in front, head toward the sun, keep facing it, and
- 10:46Speaker 1: the dark shadows will not cross your path. I know
- 10:50Speaker 1: that it is difficult for the average person, who knows
- 10:53Speaker 1: nothing of the subject to accept the idea that all
- 10:56Speaker 1: is within, But surely the most material stick person must
- 11:01Speaker 1: realize that as far as he himself is concerned. Nothing
- 11:04Speaker 1: exists on the outside plane unless he has knowledge of it,
- 11:08Speaker 1: or unless it becomes fixed in his consciousness. It is
- 11:13Speaker 1: the image created in his mind that gives reality to
- 11:17Speaker 1: the world outside of him. Happiness sought by many and
- 11:23Speaker 1: found by few. Therefore, is a matter entirely within ourselves.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Our environment and the everyday happenings of life have absolutely
- 11:35Speaker 1: no effect on our happiness, except as we permit mental
- 11:38Speaker 1: images of the outside to enter our consciousness. Happiness is
- 11:43Speaker 1: wholly independent of position, wealth, or material possessions. It is
- 11:49Speaker 1: a state of mind which we ourselves have the power
- 11:52Speaker 1: to control, and that control lies with our thinking. Emerson said,
- 11:59Speaker 1: what is the hardest task in the world to think?
- 12:04Speaker 1: Obviously this is so when one considers that most of
- 12:07Speaker 1: us are victims of mass thinking and feed upon suggestions
- 12:11Speaker 1: from others. We all know that the law of cause
- 12:14Speaker 1: and effect is inviolable, Yet how many of us ever
- 12:18Speaker 1: pause to consider its workings. The entire course of a
- 12:22Speaker 1: man's life has many times been changed by a single thought, which,
- 12:26Speaker 1: coming to him in a flash, became a mighty power
- 12:29Speaker 1: that altered the whole current of human events. History is
- 12:33Speaker 1: replete with the stories of strong minded resolutely willed individuals
- 12:38Speaker 1: who steadfastly holding to their inner convictions have been able
- 12:41Speaker 1: to inspire their fellow man, and in the face of
- 12:44Speaker 1: tremendous and determined opposition, have literally created out of nothing
- 12:49Speaker 1: great businesses, huge empires, and new worlds. They had no
- 12:57Speaker 1: monopoly of thought power. You and every man and woman
- 13:01Speaker 1: have it. All you have to do is use it.
- 13:05Speaker 1: You will then become the person you envisage in your imagination.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Know yourself, know your power. Just believe that there is
- 13:19Speaker 1: a genuine creative magic in believing, and magic there will be.
- 13:27Speaker 1: For belief will supply the power which will enable you
- 13:30Speaker 1: to succeed in everything you Undertake back your belief with
- 13:35Speaker 1: a resolute will, and you will become unconquerable to become
- 14:41Speaker 1: the person that you would like to be. You create
- 14:44Speaker 1: a mental picture of your newly conceived self, and if
- 14:48Speaker 1: you continue to hold it, the day will come when
- 14:51Speaker 1: you are in reality that person.
