his physician said, “Nothing but his own desire to live saved him. He never would have pulled through if he had not refused to accept the possibility of death.”
The subconscious mind will transmute into its physical equivalent, by the most direct and practical media available, any order which is given to it in a state of belief, or faith that the order will be carried out.
through experiment and practice, acquire the ability to mix faith with any order given to the subconscious mind.

equally true that one may develop faith by voluntarily suggesting to the subconscious mind that one has faith. The mind comes, finally, to take on the nature of the influences which dominate it.
All down the ages, the religionists have admonished struggling humanity to “have faith” in this, that, and the other dogma or creed, but they have failed to tell people how to have faith.
faith is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!
Faith is the basis of all “miracles,” and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!
Faith is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.
element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.
the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.
If a man repeats a lie over and over, he will eventually accept the lie as truth. Moreover, he will believe it to be the truth. Every man is what he is, because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind.
A thought thus “magnetized” with emotion may be compared to a seed which, when planted in fertile soil, germinates, grows, and multiplies itself over and over again, until that which was originally one small seed, becomes countless millions of seeds of the same brand!
The ether is a great cosmic mass of eternal forces of vibration. It is made up of both destructive vibrations and constructive vibrations. It carries, at all times, vibrations of fear, poverty, disease, failure, misery; and vibrations of prosperity, health, success, and happiness, just as surely as it carries the sound of hundreds of orchestrations of music, and hundreds of human voices, all of which maintain their own individuality, and means of identification, through the medium of radio.
the human mind is constantly attracting vibrations which harmonize with that which ...

We are what we are, because of the vibrations of thought which we pick up and register, through the stimuli of our daily environment.
Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate environment, and to build your own life to order.

Fifth. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice,
I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success.
I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith
Back of this formula is a law of Nature which no man has yet been able to explain. It has baffled the scientists of all ages. The psychologists have named this law “auto-suggestion,”
On the other hand, if used destructively, it will destroy just as readily.
those who go down in defeat, and end their lives in poverty, misery, and distress, do so because of negative application of the principle of auto-suggestion.
all impulses of thought have a tendency to clothe themselves in their physical equivalent.
The subconscious mind,
makes no distinction between constructive and destructive thought impulses.

words, “My God, this will kill me! I cannot stand the disgrace.” In a short time he was dead. The doctors pronounced the case one of “mental suicide.”
If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you don’t If you like to win, but you think you can’t, It is almost certain you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost For out of the world we find, Success begins with a fellow’s will It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are, You’ve got to think high to rise, You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man, But soon or late the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can!
Love comes very near to translating one’s thought impulses into their spiritual equivalent.
the author discovered, from the analysis of the life-work and achievements of hundreds of men of outstanding accomplishment, that there was the influence of a woman’s love back of nearly every one of them.
head of the list comes the Nazarene. Christianity is the greatest single force which influences the minds of men.
The sum and substance of the teachings and the achievements of Christ, which may have been interpreted as “miracles,” were nothing more nor less than faith.
During this depression, the world had evidence in abundance that widespread fear will paralyze the wheels of industry and business.
Out of this experience will arise leaders in business and industry who will profit
Riches begin in the form of thought! The amount is limited only by the person in whose mind the thought is put into motion. Faith removes limitations!
There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought
Recall what has been said about the subconscious mind resembling a fertile garden spot, in which weeds will grow in abundance, if the seeds of more desirable crops are not sown therein. autosuggestion is the agency of control through which an individual may voluntarily feed his subconscious mind on thoughts of a creative nature, or, by neglect, permit thoughts of a destructive nature to find their way into this rich garden of the mind.
Go back to these six steps described in chapter two, and read them again, very carefully, before you proceed further.
Remember, therefore, when reading aloud the statement of your desire (through which you are endeavoring to develop a “money consciousness”), that the mere reading of the words is of no consequence-unless you mix emotion, or feeling with your words.
“Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better,” without mixing emotion and faith with your words, you will experience no desirable results.
Plain, unemotional words do not influence the subconscious mind.
Do not become discouraged, if you cannot control and direct your emotions the first time you try to do so. Remember, there is no such possibility as something for nothing.
The price of ability to influence your subconscious mind is everlasting persistence in applying the principles described here.
