THANK YOU TECHNIQUE
IN THE BIBBLE, PAUL RECOMMENDS THAT WE MAKE KNOWN OUR REPRESENTS WITH PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING. SOME EXRAORDINARY RESULTS FOLLOW THIS SIMPLE METHOD OF PRAYER. THE THANKFUL HEART IS ALWAYS CLOSE TO THE CREATIVE FORCES OF THE UNIVERSE, CAUSING COUNTLESS BLESSINGS TO FLOW TOWARD IT BY THE LAW OF RECIPROCAL RELATIONSHIP, BASED ON A COSMIC LAW OF ACTION AND REACTION.
FOR INSTANCE, A FATHER PROMISES HIS SON A CAR FOR GRADUTION, THE BOY HAS NOT YET RECEIVED THE CAR, BUT HE IS VERY THANKFUL AND HAPPY, AND IT AS JOYOUS AS THOUGH HE HAD ACTUALLY RECEIVED THE CAR. HE KNOWS HIS FATHER WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISE, AND HE IS FULL OF GRATITUDE AND JOY EVEN THOUGH HE HAS NOT YET RECEIVED THE CAR, OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING. HE HAS, HOWEVER, RECEIVED IT WITH JOY AND THANKFULNESS IN HIS MIND.
I SHALL ILLUSTRATE HOW MR.BROKE APPLIED THIS TECHNIQUE WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS. HE SAID, "BILLS ARE PILIG UP, I AM OUT OF WORK, I HAVE THREE CHILDREN AND NO MONEY. WHAT SHALL I DO"? 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, WHICHIS WHAT HAPPENED.
THE SEQUEL TO HIS PRAYER IS VERY INTERESTING. AFTER PRAYING IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED MANNER, HE MET A FORMER EMPLOYER OF HIS ON THE STREET WHOM HE HAD NOT SEEN FOR TWENTY YEARS.
THE MAN OFFERED HIM A VERY LUCRATIVE POSITION AND ADVANCED HIM $500 ON A TEMPORARY LOAN. TODAY, MR.BROKE IS VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY FOR WHICH HE WORKS. HIS RECENT REMARK TO ME WAS, "I SHALL NEVER FORGET THE WONDERS OF "THANK YOU, FATHER". IT HAS WORKED WONDERS FOR ME".
THE AFFIRMATIVE METHOD
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN AFFIRMATION IS DETERMINED LARGELY BY YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE TRUTH AND THE MEANING BACK OF THE WORDS, "IN PRAYING USE NOT VAIN REPETITION". THEREFORE, THE POWER OF YOUR AFFIRMATION LIES IN THE INTELLIGENT APPLICATION OF DEFINITE AND SPECIFIC POSITIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, A BOY ADDS THREE AND THREE AND PUTS DOWN SEVEN ON THE BLACKBOARD. THE TEACHER AFFIRMS WITH MATHEMATICAL CERTAINLY THAT THREE AND THREE ARE SIX, THEREFORE, THE BOY CHANGES HIS FIGURES ACCORDINGLY. THE TEACHER'S STATEMENT DID NOT MAKE THREE AND THREE EQUAL SIX BECAUSE THE LATTER WAS ALREADY A MATHEMATICAL TRUTH. THE MATHEMATICAL TRUTH CAUSED THE BOY TO REARRANGE THE FIGURES ON THE BLACKBOARD. IT IS ABNORMAL TO BE SICK, IT IS NORMAL TO BE HEALTHY. HEALTH IS THE TRUTH OF YOUR BEING. WHEN YOU AFFIRM HEALTH, HARMONY, AND PEACE FOR YOURSELF OR ANOTHER, AND WHEN YOU REALIZE THESE ARE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES OF YOUR OWN BEING, YOU WILL REARRANGE THE NEGATIVE PATTERNS OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND BASED ON YOUR FAITH AND UNDERSTANDING OF THAT WHICH YOU AFFIRM.
THE RESULT OF THE AFFIRMATIVE PROCESS OF PRAYER DEPENDS ON YOUR CONFORMING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF LIFE, REGARDLESS OF APPEARANCES. CONSIDER FOR A MOMENT THAT THERE IS A PRINCIPLE OF MATHEMATICS AND NONE OF ERROR, THERE IS A PRINCIPLE OF TRUTH BUT NONE OF DISHONESTY.
THERE IS A PRINCIPLE OF INTELLIGENCE BUT NONE OF IGNORANCE, THERE IS A PRINCIPLE OF HARMONY AND NONE OF DISCORD. THERE IS A PRINCIPLE OF HEALTH BUT NONE OF DISEASE, AND THERE IS A PRINCIPLE OF ABUNDANCE BUT NONE OF POVERTY.
THE AFFIRMATIVE METHOD WAS CHOSEN BY THE AUTHOR FOR USE ON HIS SISTER WHO WAS TO BE OPERATED ON FOR THE REMOVAL OF GALL-STONES IN A HOSPITAL IN ENGLAND. THE CONDITION DESCRIBED WAS BASED ON THE DIAGNOSIS OF HOSPITAL TESTS AND THE USUAL X-RAY PROCEDURES.
SHE ASKED ME TO PRAY FOR HER. WE WERE SEPERATED GEOGRAPHICALLY ABOUT 6,500 MILES, BUT THERE IS NO TIME OR SPACE IN THE MIND PRINCIPLE, INFINITE MIND OR INTELLIGENCE IS PRESENT IN ITS ENTIRETY AT EVERY POINT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I WITHDREW ALL THOUGHT FROM ALL CONTEMPLATION OF SYMPTOMS AND FROM ALL CORPOREAL PERSONALITY ALTOGETHER. I AFFIRMED AS FOLLOWS. "THIS PRAYER IS FOR MY SISTER CATHERINE. SHE IS RELAXED AND AT PEACE, POISED, BALANCED, SERENE, AND CALM. THE HEALING INTELLIGENCE OF HER SUNBCONSCIOUS MIND, WHICH CREATED HER BODY, IS NOW TRANSFORMING EVERY CELL, NERVE, TISSUE, MUSCLE, AND BONE OF HER BEING ACCORDING TO THE PERFECT PATTEN OF ALL ORGANS LODGED IN HER SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.
SILENTLY, QUIETLY, ALL DISTORTED THOUGHT PATTERNS IN HER SUBCONSCIOUS MIND ARE REMOVED AND DISSOLVED, AND THE VITALITY, WHOLENESS, AND BEAUTY OF THE LIFE PRINCIPLE ARE MADE MANIFEST IN EVERY ATOM OF HER BEING. SHE IS NOW OPEN AND RECEPTIVE TO THE HEALING CURRENTS, WHICH ARE FLOWING THROUGH HER LIKE A RIVER, RESTORING HER TO PERFECT HEALTH, HARMONY, AND PEACE. ALL DISTORTIONS AND UGLY IMAGES ARE NOW WASHED AWAY BY THE INFINITE OCEAN OF LOVE AND PEACE FLOWING THROUGH HER, AND IT IS SO".
I AFFIRMED THE ABOVE SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, AND AT THE END OF TWO WEEKS MY SISTER HAD AN EXAMINATION, WHICH SHOWED A REMARKABLE HEALING, AND THE X RAY, PROVED NEGATIVE.
TO AFFIRM IS TO STATE THAT 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 CONSCIOSNESS WHERE IT ACCEPTS THAT WHICH YOU STATE AS TRUE. KEEP ON AFFIRMING THE TRUTHS OF LIFE UNTIL YOU GET THE SUBCONSCIOUS REACTION, WHICH SATISFIES.
