                                      THE MIND POWER 

                                           KEY POINTS

                    THE SUBCONSCIOUS REGIONS OF THE MIND ARE THE GREAT STROEHOUSES OF THE MENTAL RECORDS OF IMPRESSIONS FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT.

                     ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF POOR ATTENTION IS TO BE FOUND IN THE LACK OF INTESTEST. WE ARE APT TO REMEMBER THE THING IN WHICH WE HAVE BEEN A HIGH DEGREE OF ATTENTION GIVEN.

                       INTEREST MAY BE DEVELOPED BY VOLUNTARY ATTENTION BESTOWED AND HELP UPON AN OBJECT.

                      THE THREE REQUISITES OF CULTIVATING ATTENTION:

                   DETERMINE TO USE THE WILL

                   DEVELOP STRONG BURNING DESIRE TO ACQUIRE 

                   THE ART OF VOLUNTARY ATTENTION

                   PRACTICE THIS FAITHFULLY.

                                        

                                                                                  👀

                         THERE ARE THREE GENERAL RULES THAT MAY BE GIVEN IN THIS MATTER OF BESTOWING THE VOLUNTARY ATTENTION IN THE DIRECTION  OF ACTUALLY SEEING THINGS, INSTEAD OF MERELY LOOKING AT THEM. THE FIRST : MAKE YOURSELF TAKE AN INTEREST IN THE THING. THE SECOND : SEE IT AS IF YOU WERE TAKING NOTE OF IT IN ORDER TO REPEAT ITS DETAILS TO A FRIEND - THIS WILL FORCE YOU TO "TAKE NOTICE". THE THIRD : GIVE TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS A MENTAL COMMAND TO TAKE NOTE OF WHAT YOU ARE LOOOKING AT.

                     REMEMBER FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS, THAT BEFORE YOU CAN REMEMBER OR RECOLLECT, YOU MUST FIRST PERCEIVE: AND THAT PERCEPTION IS POSSIBLE ONLY THROUGH ATTENTION AND RESPONDS IN DEGREE TO THE LATTER.

                        FABULOUS MEMORIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM ANCIENT TIMES AND CONTINUE TODAY. THEY ARE NOT LIMITED TO GENIUSES OF PEOPLE WITH IN-BORN TALENT. IT IS MANIFESTED IN PEOPLE AT ALL STRATA OF SOCIETY. ANYBODY WITH THE DESIRE TO ACQUIRE THIS SKILL CAN DO BY FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES TO BE DISCUSSED.

                      YOU ARE FAR LESS LIABLE TO SUCCUMB TO BAD MENTAL INFLUENCE IF YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH A THOUGHT ATMOSPHERE FILLED WITH THE HIGHEST KIND OF THOUGHTS AND FREE FROM THOUGHTS AND DESIRE OF A BASE, SELFISH CHARACTER.

                       THERE RESIDES A SPARK FROM THE DIVINE FLAME OF LIFE AND POWER, WHICH IS CALLED THE INNER WILL, AND WHEN ONCE RECOGNIZED WILL BE A SOURCE OF UNENDING AND UNFAILLING STRENGTH.

                      PUT OUT OF YOUR MIND ALL FEAR OF OTHER PERSONS. CAST OUT FEAR AS UNWORTHY AND HURTFUL.

                    ASSERTION OF THE "I" WITHIN YOU WILL DISSIPATE THE INFLUENCE AROUND YOU, AND WILL NEUTRALIZE UNPLEASANT MENTAL ATMOSPHERES AND RENDER YOU IMMUNE FROM THE SAME.

                    THE MAJORITY OF PERSONS ARE SURROUNDED BY A MENTAL ATMOSPHERE ARISING FROM THE PREVAILING MENTAL STATES, THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, ETC. AND ALSO ARISING FROM THE THOUGHT-CURRENTS WHICH THEY HAVE ATTRACTED TO THEM BY THE LAW OF MENTAL ATTRACTION. THEY MAY BE GOOD OR EVIL.

                    THE WORK OF THE HELPER IS REALLY NEUTRALIZING AND DISSIPATING THE UNFAVORABLE MENTAL INFLUENCES SURROUNDING THE PEOPLE SEEKING HELP, AND THEREBY GIVING THESE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO WORK OUT THEIR OWN MENTAL SALVATION.

                    WE SEE AND HEAR OF THE MIGHTY POWER FOR GOOD MENTAL INFLUENCE THAT IS EXERTING AMONG THE PEOPLE TODAY, RAISING UP THE SICK, STRENGTHENING THE WEAK, PUTTING COURAGE INTO THE DESPONDENT AND MAKING SUCCESSESS OF FAILURES. ON THE OTHER HAND THERE IS THE HATEFUL SELFISHNESS AND GREED OF UNPRINCIPLED PERSONS IN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS MIGHTY FORCE OF NATURE AND PROSTITUTING IT TO THEIR OWN HATEFUL ENDS.

                   THOSE WHO THINK HATE MAY BE AFFECTED BY HATE THOUGHTS, WHILE THOSE WHOSE MIND IS FILLED WITHG FAITH DEFLECT INVADING WAVES OR ELSE DRIVE THEM BACK TO THEIR SENDERS.
