He says: The cerebro-spinal system is the organ of the conscious mind and the sympathetic is
Taking a class in physiology-anatomy real helped me to understand the terminology of this book
the organ of the subconscious.
The Sympathetic System has its center in a ganglionic mass at the back of the stomach known as the Solar Plexus, and is the channel of that mental action which unconsciously
We have seen that every thought is received by the brain, which is the organ of the conscious; it is here subjected to our power of reasoning. When the objective mind has been satisfied that the thought is true it is sent to the Solar Plexus, or the brain of the subjective mind, to be made into our flesh, to be brought forth into the world as reality.

If this radiation is sufficiently strong the person is called magnetic; he is said to be filled with personal magnetism. Such a person may wield an immense power for good. His presence alone will often bring comfort to the troubled minds with which he comes in contact.

If there is any interruption of this radiation the sensations are unpleasant, the flow of life and energy to some part of the body is stopped, and this is the
cause of every ill to the human race, physical, mental or environmental.
Physical because the sun of the body is no longer generating sufficient energy to vitalize some part of the body; mental because the conscious mind is dependent upon the subconscious mind for the vitality necessary to support its thought, and environmental, because the connection between the subconscious mind and the Universal mind,
is being interrupted.
The Solar Plexus is the point at which the part meets with the whole, where the finite becomes infinite, where the Uncreate becomes create, the Universal becomes individualized, the invisible becomes visible. It is the point at which life appears and there is no limit to the amount of life an individual may generate from this Solar center.
This center of energy is
Omnipotent because it is the point of contact with all life and all intelligence. It can therefore accomplish whatever it is directed to accomplish, and herein lies the power of the conscious mind; the subconscious can and will carry out such plans and ideas as may be suggested to it by the conscious mind.
Conscious thought, then, is master of this sun center from which the life and energy of the entire body flows
13. It is evident, therefore, that all we have to do is let our light shine; the more energy we can radiate, the more rapidly shall we be enabled to transmute undesirable conditions into sources of pleasure and profit. The important question, then, is how to let this light shine; how to generate this energy.
Non-resistant thought expands the Solar Plexus; resistant thought contracts it. Pleasant thought expands it; unpleasant thought contracts
it.
Thoughts of courage, power, confidence and hope all produce a corresponding state, but the one arch enemy of the Solar Plexus which must be absolutely destroyed before there is any possibility of letting any light shine is fear. This enemy must be completely destroyed; he must be eliminated; he must be expel...

When fear is effectually and completely destroyed, your light will shine, the clouds will disperse and you will have found the source of power, energy and life.
But the man who knows that he has a Solar Plexus will not fear criticism or anything else; he will be too busy radiating courage,
As the following statement is of considerable importance, I will put it in several ways, so that you cannot fail to get the full significance of it. If you are religiously inclined, I would say, you can let your light shine. If your mind has a bias toward physical science, I would say you can wake the Solar Plexus; or, if you prefer the strictly scientific
interpretation, I will say that you can impress your subconscious mind.
What, then, is the most natural way of making the desired impression? Mentally
concentrate on the object of your desire; when you are concentrating you are impressing the subconscious.
For your exercise this week, I will ask you to go one
step further. I want you to not only be perfectly still, and inhibit all thought as far as possible, but relax, let go, let the muscles take their normal condition; this will remove all pressure from the nerves, and eliminate that tension which so frequently produces physical exhaustion.
Make this exercise as thorough and complete as possible, mentally determine that you will relax every muscle
and nerve, until you feel quiet and restful and at peace with yourself and the world.
The Solar Plexus will then be ready to function and you will be surprised at the result.
How may this distribution be interrupted?
What is the result of such interruption? Every ill with which the human race is afflicted.
How may this energy be controlled and directed? By conscious thought.
How may fear be completely eliminated? By an understanding and recognition of the ...

How may we awake the solar plexus? Mentally concentrate upon the condition which we desire to see manifested in our lives.

For this reason we have God and the Devil in religion, positive and negative in science, and good and bad in philosophy.
One of the strongest affirmations which you can use for the purpose of strengthening the will and realizing your power to accomplish, is, “I can be what I will to be.”
Every time you repeat it realize who and what this “I” is; try to come into a thorough understanding of the true nature of the “I”; if you do, you will become invincible; that is, provided that your objects and
purposes are constructive and are therefore in harmony with the creative principle of the Universe.
Unless you do this, you had better not start at all, because
This is not so strange or impossible as it may appear when you remember that the “World Within” is controlled by the “I” and that this “I” is a part of or one with the Infinite
“I” which is the Universal Energy or Spirit, usually called God. 16. This is not
the Bible says exactly the same thing, and the language is just as plain and convincing: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of the living God?” Here, then, is the secret of the wonderful creative power of the “World Within.”
The Infinite is not a bankrupt and we who are the representatives of Infinite power should not be bankrupts either, and if we wish to be of service to others we must have power and more power, but to get it we must give it; we must be of service.
We think something, perhaps with difficulty the first time; we think the same thing again, and it becomes easier this time; we think it again and again; it then becomes a mental habit. We continue to think the same thing; finally it becomes automatic; we can no longer help thinking this thing; we are now positive of what we think; there is no longer any doubt about it. We are sure; we know.
What is thought? Thought is spiritual energy.
What is the secret of Power?
What is the Silence? A physical stillness.
Matter is powerless, passive, inert.
Mind is force, energy, power. Mind shapes and controls matter. Every form which matter takes is but the expression of some pre-existing thought.
