It is also a universal truth that whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as condition, experience and event.

All your experiences, events, conditions and acts are the reactions of your subconscious mind to your thoughts. Remember, it is not the thing believed in, but the belief in your own mind, which brings about the result. Cease believing in the false beliefs, opinions, superstitions and fears of mankind. Begin to believe in the eternal verities and truths of life, which never change. Then, you will move onward, upward and Godward.

Busy your mind with the concepts of harmony, health, peace and good will and wonders will happen in your life.

“Never finish a negative statement, reverse it immediately, and wonders will happen in your life.”

“I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind.”

The law of life is the law of belief. A belief is a thought

Peace of mind and a healthy body are inevitable when you begin to think and feel in the right way.

She overcame it by the following technique: Three times a day she isolated herself in a room. She sat down comfortably in an armchair, relaxed her body and closed her eyes. She stilled her mind and body as best she could. Physical inertia favors mental passivity and renders the mind more receptive to suggestion. She counteracted the fear suggestion by saying to herself, “I sing beautifully, I am poised, serene, confident and calm.” She repeated this statement slowly, quietly and with feeling from five to ten times at each sitting. She had three such “sittings” every day and one immediately prior to sleep.

Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choose health! Choose abundance!

“Infinite Intelligence leads and guides me in all my ways. Perfect health is mine, and the Law of Harmony operates in my mind and body.

Think good, and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.

Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, “I can't afford it,” it may be true, but do not say it. Select a better thought, decree. “I'll buy it, I accept it in my mind.”

You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. You can choose to be friendly or you can choose to be unfriendly. Choose to be cooperative, joyous, friendly, lovable and the whole world will respond....

The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you will react.

Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends how you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless, heal and inspire all people everywhere.

“Man is what he thinks all day long.”

I prayed in a very simple was as follows:”My body and all its organs were created by the infinite intelligence in my subconscious mind. It knows how to heal me, its wisdom fashioned all my organs, tissues, muscles and bones. This infinite healing presence within me is now transforming every atom of my being making me whole and perfect now. I give thanks for the healing I know is taking place now. Wonderful are the works of the creative intelligence within me.”

The healing power of his subconscious mind responded to his mental imagery and a healing followed.

When he shifted his attention to the healing power within him, the power flowed through his focused attention, enabling him to walk. Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22.

Feed your subconscious with thoughts of harmony, health and peace and all the functions of your body will become normal again.

Keep your conscious mind busy with the expectation of the best and your subconscious will faithfully reproduce your habitual thinking. 9. Imagine the happy ending or solution to your problem, feel the thrill of accomplishment; and what you imagine and feel will be accepted by your subconscious mind and bring it to pass.

What things soever ye desire, when ye pray believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Mark 11:24.

The instinct of self-preservation is the first law of nature. Your strongest instinct is the most potent of all autosuggestions.

Then, if you believe in the bones of saints to heal, or if you believe in the healing power of certain waters, you will get results because of the powerful suggestion given to your subconscious mind. It is the latter that does the healing.

There is only one process of healing and that is faith. There is only one healing power, namely, your subconscious mind.

Whether the object of your faith is real or false, you will get results. Your subconscious mind responds to the thought in your mind. Look upon faith as thought in your mind and that will suffice.

“Every cell, nerve, tissue and muscle of my lungs are not being made whole, pure and perfect. My whole body is being restored to health and harmony.”

I wanted to know his method, so I asked him why he repeated the words prior to sleep. Here is his reply, “The kinetic action of the subconscious mind continues thought your sleep time period. Hence, give the subconscious mind something good to work on as you drop off into slumber.” This was very wise answer. In thinking of harmony and perfect health, he never mentioned his trouble by name.

I strongly suggest that you cease talking about your ailments or giving them a name.

It is foolish to believe in sickness and something to hurt or harm you. Believe in perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth and divine guidance.

Prayer is the formulation of an idea concerning something we wish to accomplish. Prayer is the soul's sincere desire. Your desire is your prayer. It comes out of your deepest needs and it reveals the things you want in life. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled. That is really prayer, life's hunger and thirst for peace, harmony, health, joy and all the other blessings of life.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matthew

You must ask believing, if you are to receive. Your mind moves from the thought to the thing. Unless there is first an image in the mind, it cannot move, for there would be nothing for it to move toward. Your prayer, which is your mental act, must be accepted as an image in your mind before the power from your subconscious will play upon it and make it productive. You must reach a point of acceptance in your mind, an unqualified and undisputed state of agreement.

Regularly every night and morning, for a period of about three weeks, he repeated the words, “Thank you, Father, for my wealth.” in a relaxed, peaceful manner until the feeling or mood of thankfulness dominated his mind. He imagined he was addressing the infinite power and intelligence within him knowing, of course, that he could not see the creative intelligence or infinite mind. He was seeing with the inner eye of spiritual perception, realizing that his thought-image of wealth was the first cause, relative to the money, position and food he needed. His thought-feeling was the substance of wealth untrammeled by antecedent conditions of any kind. By repeating, “Thank you, Father,” over and over again, his mind and heart were lifted up to the point of acceptance, and when fear, thoughts of lack, poverty and distress came into his mind, he would say, “Thank you, Father,” as often as necessary. He knew that as he kept up the thankful attitude he would recondition his mind to the idea of wealth, which is what happened.

To affirm is to state that it is so, and as you maintain this attitude of mind as true, regardless of all evidence to the contrary, you will receive an answer to your prayer.

Your thought can only affirm, for even if you deny something, you are actually affirming the presence of what you deny.

Repeating an affirmation, knowing what you are saying and why you are saying it, leads the mind to that state of consciousness where it accepts that which you state as true. Keep on affirming the truths of life ...

8. Avoid all effort or mental coercion in prayer. Get into a sleepy, drowsy state and lull yourself to sleep feeling and knowing that your prayer is answered. 9. Remember that the thankful hear is always close to the riches of the universe. 10. To affirm is to state that it is so, and as you maintain this attitude of mind as true, regardless of all evidence to the contrary, you will receive an answer to your prayer. 11. Generate electronic waves of harmony, health and peace by thinking of the love and the glory of God. 12. What you decree and feel as true will come to pass. Decree harmony, health, peace and abundance.

Over ninety percent of your mental life is subconscious, so men and women who fail to make use of this marvelous power live within very narrow limits.

You are the sum total of your own thoughts.

You can keep from entertaining negative thoughts and imagery. The way to get rid of darkness is with light; the way to overcome cold is with heat; the way to overcome the negative thought is to substitute the good thought. Affirm the good and the bad will vanish.

He created his own affirmation, mentally absorbing the qualities he needed. He affirmed over and over again many times a day, “I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy.” He persevered and said that this prayer was the last utterance on his lips at night and the first in the morning. He prayed for others also by sending out thoughts of love and health. This attitude of mind and way of prayer returned to him multiplied many times. His faith and perseverance paid off with big dividends. When thoughts of fear, anger, jealousy or envy drew his attention, he would immediately start his counteracting force of affirmation going in his mind.

2. Charge your subconscious with the task of evolving an answer to any problem prior to sleep and it will answer you.

7. It is normal to be healthy. It is abnormal to be ill. There is within the innate principle of harmony.

What you affirm consciously and feel as true will be made manifest in your mind, body and affairs. Affirm the good and enter into the joy of living. How to Get the Results You Want The principle reasons for failure are: Lack of confidence and too much effort.

The right answer is inevitable when your thoughts are positive, constructive and loving.
