13. Clearness and accuracy are obtained only by repeatedly having the image in mind. Each
repeated action renders the image more clear and accurate than the preceding, and in
proportion to the clearness and accuracy of the image will the outward manifestation be. You
must build it firmly and securely in your mental world, the world within, before it can take form
in the world without, and you can build nothing of value, even in the mental world unless you have the proper material. When you have the material you can build anything you wish, but
make sure of your material. You cannot make broadcloth from shoddy.
14. This material will be brought out by millions of silent mental workers and fashioned into
the form of the image which you have in mind.
15. Think of it! You have over five million of these mental workers, ready and in active use;
brain cells they are called. Besides this, there is another reserve force of at least an equal
number, ready to be called into action at the slightest need. Your power to think, then, is
almost unlimited, and this means that your power to create the kind of material which is
necessary to build for yourself any kind of environment which you desire is practically
unlimited.
16. In addition to these millions of mental workers, you have billions of mental workers in the
body, every one of which is endowed with sufficient intelligence to understand and act upon
any message or suggestion given. These cells are all busy creating and recreating the body,
but, in addition to this, they are endowed with psychic activity whereby they can attract to
themselves the substance necessary for perfect development.
17. They do this by the same law and in the same manner that every form of life attracts to
itself the necessary material for growth. The oak, the rose, the lily, all require certain material
for their most perfect expression and they secure it by silent demand, the Law of Attraction,
the most certain way for you to secure what you require for your most complete
development.
18. Make the Mental Image; make it clear, distinct, perfect; hold it firmly; the ways and means
will develop; supply will follow the demand; you will be led to do the right thing at the right
time and in the right way. Earnest Desire will bring about Confident Expectation, and this in
turn must be reinforced by Firm Demand. These three cannot fail to bring about Attainment,
because the Earnest Desire is the feeling, the Confident Expectation is the thought, and the
Firm Demand is the will, and, as we have seen, feeling gives vitality to thought and the will
holds it steadily until the law of Growth brings it into manifestation.
19. Is it not wonderful that man has such tremendous power within himself, such
transcendental faculties concerning which he had no conception? Is it not strange that we
have always been taught to look for strength and power "without?" We have been taught to
look everywhere but "within" and whenever this power manifested in our lives we were told
that it was something supernatural.
20. There are many who have come to an understanding of this wonderful power, and who
make serious and conscientious efforts to realize health, power and other conditions, and
seem to fail. They do not seem able to bring the Law into operation. The difficulty in nearly
every case is that they are dealing with externals. They want money, power, health and
abundance, but they fail to realize that these are effects and can come only when the cause
is found.
21. Those who will give no attention to the world without will seek only to ascertain the truth,
will look only for wisdom, will find that this wisdom will unfold and disclose the source of all
power, that it will manifest in thought and purpose which will create the external conditions
desired. This truth will find expression in noble purpose and courageous action.
22. Create ideals only, give no thought to external conditions, make the world within beautiful
and opulent and the world without will express and manifest the condition which you have
within. You will come into a realization of your power to create ideals and these ideals will be
projected into the world of effect.
23. For instance, a man is in debt. He will be continually thinking about the debt,
concentrating on it, and as thoughts are causes the result is that he not only fastens the debt
closer to him, but actually creates more debt. He is putting the great law of Attraction into
operation with the usual and inevitable result -- Loss leads to greater "Loss."
24. What, then, is the correct principle? Concentrate on the things you want, not on the
things you do not want. Think of abundance; idealize the methods and plans for putting the
Law of Abundance into operation. Visualize the condition which the Law of Abundance
creates; this will result in manifestation.
25. If the law operates perfectly to bring about poverty, lack and every form of limitation for
those who are continually entertaining thoughts of lack and fear, it will operate with the same
certainty to bring about conditions of abundance and opulence for those who entertain
thoughts of courage and power.
26. This is a difficult problem for many; we are too anxious; we manifest anxiety, fear,
distress; we want to do something; we want to help; we are like a child who has just planted
a seed and every fifteen minutes goes and stirs up the earth to see if it is growing. Of course,
under such circumstances, the seed will never germinate, and yet this is exactly what many
of us do in the mental world.
27. We must plant the seed and leave it undisturbed. This does not mean that we are to sit
down and do nothing, by no means; we will do more and better work then we have ever done
before, new channels will constantly be provided, new doors will open; all that is necessary is
to have an open mind, be ready to act when the time comes.
28. Thought force is the most powerful means of obtaining knowledge, and if concentrated on
any subject will solve the problem. Nothing is beyond the power of human comprehension,
but in order to harness thought force and make it do your bidding, work is required.
29. Remember that thought is the fire that creates the steam that turns the wheel of fortune,
upon which your experiences depend.
30. Ask yourself a few questions and then reverently await the response; do you not now and
then feel the self with you? Do you assert this self or do you follow the majority? Remember
that majorities are always led, they never lead. It was the majority that fought, tooth and nail,
against the steam engine, the power loom and every other advance or improvement ever
suggested.
31. For your exercise this week, visualize your friend, see him exactly as you last saw him,
see the room, the furniture, recall the conversation, now see his face, see it distinctly, now
talk to him about some subject of mutual interest; see his expression change, watch him
smile. Can you do this? All right, you can; then arouse his interest, tell him a story of
adventure, see his eyes light up with the spirit of fun or excitement. Can you do all of this? If
so, your imagination is good, you are making excellent progress.
PART SEVEN Study Questions with Answers
61. What is visualization? The process of making mental pictures.
62. What is the result of this method of thought? By holding the image or picture in mind, we
can gradually but surely bring the thing nearer to us. We can be what we will to be.
63. What is Idealization? It is a process of visualizing or idealizing the plans which will
eventually materialize in our objective world.
64. Why are clearness and accuracy necessary? Because "seeing" creates "feeling" and
"feeling" creates "being." First the mental, then the emotional, then the illimitable possibilities
of achievement.
65. How are they obtained? Each repeated action renders the image more accurate than the
former one.
66. How is the material for the construction of your mental image secured? By millions of
mental workers. Brain cells they are called.
67. How are the necessary conditions for bringing about the materialization of your ideal in
the objective world secured? By the Law of Attraction. The natural law by which all conditions
and experiences are brought about.
68. What three steps are necessary in order to bring this law into operation? Earnest Desire,
Confident Expectation, Firm Demand.
69. Why do many fail? Because they concentrate on loss, disease and disaster. The law is
operating perfectly; the things they fear are coming upon them.
70. What is the alternative? Concentrate on the ideals which you desire to see manifested in
your life.
INTRODUCTION - PART EIGHT
In this Part you will find that you may freely choose what you think but the result of your
thought is governed by an immutable law! Is not this a wonderful thought? Is it not wonderful
to know that our lives are not subject to caprice or variability of any kind? That they are
governed by law. This stability is our opportunity, because by complying with the law we can
secure the desired effect with invariable precision. It is the Law which makes the Universe
one grand paean of Harmony. If it were not for law, the Universe would be a Chaos instead
of a Cosmos.
Here, then, is the secret of the origin of booth good and evil, this is all the good and evil there
ever was or ever will be.
Let me illustrate. Thought results in action, if your thought is constructive and harmonious,
the result will be good; if your thought is destructive or in harmonious, the result will be evil.
There is therefore but one law, one principle, on cause, one Source of Power, and good and
evil are simply words which have been coined to indicate the result of our action, or our
compliance or non-compliance with this law.
The importance of this is well illustrated in the lives of Emerson and Carlyle. Emerson loved
the good and his life was a symphony of peace and harmony, Carlyle hated the bad, and his
life was a record of perpetual discord and inharmony.
Here we have two grand men, each intent upon achieving the same ideal, but one makes
use of constructive thought and is therefore in harmony with Natural Law, the other makes
use of destructive thought and therefore brings upon himself discord of every kind and
character.
It is evident therefore that we are to hate nothing, not even the "bad," because hatred is
destructive, and we shall soon find that by entertaining destructive thought we are sowing the
"wind" and in turn shall reap the "whirlwind."
PART EIGHT
1. Thought contains a vital principle, because it is the creative principle of the Universe and
by its nature will combine with other similar thoughts.
2. As the one purpose of life is growth, all principles underlying existence must contribute to
give it effect. Thought, therefore, takes form and the law of growth eventually brings it into
manifestation.
3. You may freely choose what you think, but the result of your thought is governed by an
immutable law. Any line of thought persisted in cannot fail to produce its result in the
character, health and circumstances of the individual. Methods whereby we can substitute
habits of constructive thinking for those which we have found produce only undesirable
effects are therefore of primary importance.
4. We all know that this is by no
