Hidden Power for Human Problems

by Frederick W. Bailes

The author has identified seven core ideas behind all human problems, and gives directions on how to release them. He explores the premise that any issue we have begins in the mind, with the beliefs we hold. Any difficulty or challenge is simply an effect of our thought patterns. Therefore, if it begins in mind, it can be resolved with the changing of one’s mind. The first chapter deals with how he healed himself of diabetes, in a time before insulin. In further chapters, he addresses the problems of anger, overweight, anxiety, failure, feeling unloved, and more. He covers some basic metaphysical principles, and gives specific instructions on healing techniques.

[Katherine Basto · Rating 5 out of 5]

I found this book practical, sensible and helpful. Frederick Bailes, a New Thought teacher describes the several "parent" thoughts we carry about buried away. Not referring to one's parents, rather it's a thought or behavior that is stuck in our subconscious and it may act out in a negative way. Bailes's offers a "master" thought in return. For example, the parent thought of hostility may be balanced by a sense of connection, wholeness and oneness with the world.
I've read many of Bailes's books, and I can attest that they are just as applicable now as they were decades ago. A great read!

How to get your head on straight

Excellent read. You can straighten out your personal drama. Good discussion on primal mis-thoughts that get you on the wrong track.
