- 0:01Speaker 1: My hope is that anyone who listens will be helped
- 0:04Speaker 1: in reaching their goal in life. Is there a force,
- 0:17Speaker 1: a factor, a power, a science, call it what you will,
- 0:21Speaker 1: a something which a few people understand and use to
- 0:26Speaker 1: overcome their difficulties and achieve outstanding success. I firmly believe
- 0:36Speaker 1: that there is. I am presenting it in the language
- 0:42Speaker 1: of a businessman who believes that sincere thinking and plain
- 0:46Speaker 1: speaking will get any message across to the people. I
- 0:54Speaker 1: realize I have run across something that is workable, but
- 0:58Speaker 1: I don't consider it as anything mystical, except in the
- 1:01Speaker 1: sense that it is unknown to the majority of people
- 1:04Speaker 1: and is little understood by the average person. I have
- 1:14Speaker 1: read literally thousands of books on modern psychology, metaphysics, ancient magic, voodooism, yogism, theosophy,
- 1:22Speaker 1: Christian science, Unity, truth, new thought, and many other dealings.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Many of these books were nonsensical, others strange, and many
- 1:31Speaker 1: very profound. Gradually I discovered that there is a golden
- 1:40Speaker 1: thread that runs through all the teachings and makes them
- 1:43Speaker 1: work for those who sincerely accept and apply them. That
- 1:47Speaker 1: thread can be named in a single word, belief. It
- 1:58Speaker 1: is the same element or factor belief which causes people
- 2:03Speaker 1: to be cured through mental healing, enables others to climb
- 2:06Speaker 1: the ladder of success, and gets phenomenal results for all
- 2:10Speaker 1: who accept it. Why belief as a miracle worker is
- 2:16Speaker 1: something that cannot be satisfactorily explained, but have no doubt
- 2:20Speaker 1: about it. There's genuine magic in believing. As a matter
- 2:27Speaker 1: of fact, the idea that I could, with my thinking
- 2:30Speaker 1: and believing, develop a fortune never entered my mind. It
- 2:34Speaker 1: doesn't matter to what end this science is used, it
- 2:37Speaker 1: will be effective in achieving the object of your desires.
- 2:45Speaker 1: A glance around you. If you are in a furnished room,
- 2:49Speaker 1: your eyes tell you that you are looking at a
- 2:51Speaker 1: number of inanimate objects. That's true so far as visual
- 2:55Speaker 1: perception is concerned, But in reality, you are actually looking
- 2:59Speaker 1: at thoughts or ideas which have come into materialization through
- 3:03Speaker 1: the creative work of some human being. It was a
- 3:06Speaker 1: thought first that created the furniture, fashioned the window glass,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and gave form to the draperies and coverings. The automobile,
- 3:15Speaker 1: the skyscraper, the great planes that sweeped the stratosphere, the
- 3:19Speaker 1: sewing machine, the tiny pin, a thousand and one things, yes,
- 3:23Speaker 1: millions of objects. Where did they come from originally only
- 3:28Speaker 1: one source, from that strange force thought. As we look further,
- 3:40Speaker 1: we realized that these achievements, and in fact, all our possessions,
- 3:45Speaker 1: came as a result of creative thinking. Thought is the
- 3:51Speaker 1: original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain,
- 3:56Speaker 1: all great discoveries, inventions, and of all achievements. With that
- 4:02Speaker 1: in mind, it becomes easy to understand that a man's
- 4:06Speaker 1: thoughts make or break him, and Shakespeare's words become more intelligible.
- 4:13Speaker 1: There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it. So.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Many people feel that success comes with hard work. However,
- 4:27Speaker 1: I would like to point out that hard work alone
- 4:29Speaker 1: will not bring success. The world is filled with people
- 4:33Speaker 1: who have worked hard but have little to show for it.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Something more than hard work is necessary. It is creative
- 4:43Speaker 1: thinking and firm belief in your ability to execute your ideas.
- 4:49Speaker 1: The successful people in history have succeeded through their thinking.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Their hands were merely helpers to their brains. Another important
- 4:59Speaker 1: point is that one essential to success is that your
- 5:04Speaker 1: desire be an all obsessing one, Your thoughts and aims
- 5:08Speaker 1: be coordinated, and your energy be concentrated and applied without letter.
- 5:14Speaker 1: It may be riches or fame, or position or knowledge
- 5:17Speaker 1: that you want for Each person has his own idea
- 5:19Speaker 1: of what success means to him, but whatever you consider
- 5:22Speaker 1: it to be, you can have it, provided you are
- 5:26Speaker 1: willing to make the objective the burning desire of your life.
- 5:32Speaker 1: By using the dynamic force of believing, you can set
- 5:36Speaker 1: all your inner forces in motion, They, in turn will
- 5:42Speaker 1: help you reach your goal. The first thing to determine
- 5:49Speaker 1: is precisely what you want. Starting in with the general
- 5:53Speaker 1: idea that you merely want to be a success, as
- 5:56Speaker 1: most people do, is too indefinite. You have a mental
- 6:00Speaker 1: pattern clearly drawn in your mind. Ask yourself, where am
- 6:05Speaker 1: I headed? What is my goal? Have I visualized just
- 6:08Speaker 1: what I really want? If success is to be measured
- 6:15Speaker 1: in terms of wealth, can you fix the amount in figures?
- 6:19Speaker 1: If in terms of achievement, can you specify it definitely?
- 6:25Speaker 1: I ask these questions for in their answers are the
- 6:28Speaker 1: factors which will determine your whole life from now on.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Most people have a general idea that they would like
- 6:38Speaker 1: to be a success, but beyond that everything is vague.
- 6:44Speaker 1: You must know where you are headed, and you must
- 6:46Speaker 1: keep a fixed goal in your view. Only then will
- 6:50Speaker 1: you get what you are after you begin with desire,
- 6:54Speaker 1: if you ever hope to achieve anything or gain more
- 6:57Speaker 1: than you have now. However, as we shall see, there
- 7:01Speaker 1: is more to it than mere desire. It has been
- 7:06Speaker 1: said that thought attracts that upon which it is directed.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Thought attracts that upon which it is directed. Our fearful
- 7:21Speaker 1: thoughts are just as creative, or just as magnetic and
- 7:24Speaker 1: attracting troubles to us, as are the constructive and positive
- 7:27Speaker 1: ones and attracting positive results. So, no matter what the
- 7:31Speaker 1: character of the thought, it does create after its kind.
- 7:36Speaker 1: When this sinks into a man's consciousness, he gets some
- 7:40Speaker 1: inkling of the awe inspiring power which is his to use.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I cling to the theory that while thoughts do create
- 7:54Speaker 1: and exercise control far beyond any limits yet known to man,
- 7:57Speaker 1: they create only according to their pier intensity, emotional quality,
- 8:03Speaker 1: depth of feeling, or vibratory plane. In other words, comparable
- 8:09Speaker 1: to the wavelength and wattage of a radio station. Thoughts
- 8:13Speaker 1: have a creative or controlling force in the exact ratio
- 8:16Speaker 1: of their constancy, intensity and power. All persons living in
- 8:25Speaker 1: high altitudes have felt and sometimes observed the electric spark
- 8:29Speaker 1: resulting from walking across the room, then touching some metallic
- 8:32Speaker 1: substance that, of course, is a form of static electricity
- 8:36Speaker 1: generated by friction. It gives you an idea of how
- 8:40Speaker 1: one kind of electricity can be developed through the body.
- 8:44Speaker 1: The Sigmund Freud, the famous Austrian psychoanalyst, brought the world's
- 8:49Speaker 1: attention to the hypothesis that there was a powerful force
- 8:52Speaker 1: within us, an unilluminated part of the mind, separate from
- 8:57Speaker 1: the conscious mind, constantly at work molding our thoughts, feelings,
- 9:02Speaker 1: and actions. Others have called this division of our mental
- 9:05Speaker 1: existence the soul. Some call it the superego, the inner power,
- 9:11Speaker 1: the super consciousness, the unconscious, the subconscious, and various other names.
- 9:16Speaker 1: It is in an organ or so called physical matter,
- 9:19Speaker 1: such as we know the brain to be. Nevertheless, it
- 9:22Speaker 1: is there, and from the beginning of recorded time man
- 9:26Speaker 1: has known that it exists. The ancients often referred to
- 9:34Speaker 1: it as the spirit. Paracelsus called it the will. Others
- 9:38Speaker 1: have called it the mind, an adjunct to the brain.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Some have referred to it as conscience, the creator of
- 9:46Speaker 1: the still small voice within. Still others called it intelligence,
- 9:51Speaker 1: and have asserted that it is a part of the
- 9:53Speaker 1: supreme intelligence to which we are all linked. No matter
- 10:01Speaker 1: what we call it, I prefer the word subconscious. It
- 10:04Speaker 1: is recognized as the essence of life, and the limits
- 10:08Speaker 1: of its powers are unknown. It never sleeps, It comes
- 10:12Speaker 1: to our support in times of great trouble. It warns
- 10:15Speaker 1: us of impending danger. Often it aids us in what
- 10:18Speaker 1: seems impossible. It guides us in many ways, and when
- 10:25Speaker 1: properly employed, performs so called miracles. Perhaps the most effective
- 10:34Speaker 1: method of bringing the subconscious into practical action is through
- 10:38Speaker 1: the process of making mental pictures using the imagination, perfecting
- 10:44Speaker 1: an image of the thing or situation as you would
- 10:47Speaker 1: have it exist in physical form. This is usually referred
- 10:51Speaker 1: to as visualization. Before this visualization can work, you must
- 11:01Speaker 1: really believe a firm and positive conviction that goes through
- 11:06Speaker 1: every fiber of your being. When you believe at heart
- 11:10Speaker 1: and soul, as the saying goes, I call it a
- 11:13Speaker 1: phase of emotion, a spiritual force, a type of electrical vibration.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Anything you please, but that's the force that brings outstanding results.
- 11:22Speaker 1: It sets the law of attraction into operation, enables sustained
- 11:26Speaker 1: thought to correlate with its object. This belief changes the
- 11:34Speaker 1: temple of the mind or thought frequency, and like a
- 11:37Speaker 1: huge magnet, draws the subconscious forces into play, changing your
- 11:42Speaker 1: whole aura and affecting everything about you and often people
- 11:46Speaker 1: and objects at great distances. Many times the solution of
- 11:52Speaker 1: our problems result from the use of the conscious mind.
- 11:56Speaker 1: But now and then, when the solution is not forthcoming,
- 11:59Speaker 1: we become I'm exhausted with continued trying. We begin to
- 12:08Speaker 1: lose confidence in ourselves, and we often resign ourselves to
- 12:12Speaker 1: the idea that we have failed, that nothing can be
- 12:15Speaker 1: done about it. Here is where the subconscious mind comes in.
- 12:20Speaker 1: It helps us to renew our belief in ourselves. It
- 12:24Speaker 1: assists us to overcome our difficulty and to put us
- 12:27Speaker 1: on the road to achievement and success. Just as the
- 12:33Speaker 1: conscious mind is the source of thought, so the subconscious
- 12:37Speaker 1: is the source of power. Also. It is one of
- 12:43Speaker 1: the greatest realities in human life. It is rooted in
- 12:48Speaker 1: instinct and is aware of the most elemental desires of
- 12:52Speaker 1: the individual. Yet it is always pressing upward into conscious existence.
- 12:57Speaker 1: It is a distinct entity. It possesses powers and functions
- 13:02Speaker 1: with unique mental organization all its own. It maintains and
- 13:08Speaker 1: preserves the well being and indeed the very life of
- 13:11Speaker 1: the body, unaided by the conscious mind, and in times
- 13:14Speaker 1: of great emergency, it springs into immediate action, again independent
- 13:19Speaker 1: of the conscious mind. It takes supreme command, acting with
- 13:22Speaker 1: incredible certitude, rapidity, accuracy, and understanding in the saving of
- 13:27Speaker 1: the life of the individual. It can be summoned to
- 13:33Speaker 1: help the conscious mind in times of great personal necessity,
- 13:37Speaker 1: when the conscious calls upon the subconscious to use its
- 13:40Speaker 1: powers and resources to solve a vital problem or bring
- 13:43Speaker 1: to pass that which is sought or desired by the individual.
- 13:52Speaker 1: To draw upon the resources and powers of the subconscious
- 13:55Speaker 1: and awaken it into action, you must first be sure
- 13:58Speaker 1: that you are asking for someone that is rightfully yours
- 14:01Speaker 1: to have and is within your ability to handle. The
- 14:04Speaker 1: subconscious manifests itself only according to the capabilities of the person.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Then you must have patience and absolute faith. The subconscious
- 14:19Speaker 1: mind will not take the trouble to work for those
- 14:21Speaker 1: who do not believe in it. In conveying your need
- 14:26Speaker 1: to the subconscious, it must be in the spirit that
- 14:29Speaker 1: the work has already been done. So why it is
- 14:33Speaker 1: necessary for you to feel and think yourself successful. It
- 14:37Speaker 1: is important for you to go one step further and
- 14:40Speaker 1: actually see yourself as already successful, either in the performance
- 14:44Speaker 1: of some selected task or as actually occupying the position
- 14:49Speaker 1: to which you are aspiring. For the next and final step,
- 14:53Speaker 1: you must wait patiently while the subconscious is assimilating the
- 14:58Speaker 1: elements of your problem, then goes about its own way
- 15:02Speaker 1: to work it out for you. The solution of your
- 15:08Speaker 1: problem will be revealed to you. The correct course of
- 15:11Speaker 1: action will be indicated. You must follow those indications immediately
- 15:16Speaker 1: and unquestioningly. There must be no hesitation on your part,
- 15:22Speaker 1: no mental reservation, no deliberation. You must receive the message
- 15:28Speaker 1: from the subconscious freely, and after understanding it, you must
- 15:32Speaker 1: act on it at once. Only by doing that will
- 15:35Speaker 1: you make your subconscious serve you and continue to respond
- 15:39Speaker 1: whenever you call upon it. One day you will find
- 15:51Speaker 1: yourself in the position you sought through the aid of
- 15:54Speaker 1: the subconscious and doing the work you envision for yourself. Then,
- 15:59Speaker 1: when you look back, you will see how the things
- 16:02Speaker 1: you were called upon to do all formed a logical
- 16:05Speaker 1: line of events, the last one of which was your
- 16:08Speaker 1: final arriving the reward of your sincerest hopes and desires,
- 16:13Speaker 1: your own triumphant personal success to become the person that
- 16:29Speaker 1: you would like to be. You create a mental picture
- 16:32Speaker 1: of your newly conceived self, and if you continue to
- 16:36Speaker 1: hold it, the day will come when you are in
- 16:38Speaker 1: reality that person. Shakespeare said, assume the virtue if you
- 16:49Speaker 1: have it, not us
