HOW TO REMEMBER GOOD THINGS (MIND POWER)

 

                                               THE BRAIN

                                   REMEMBERING FACT

                             READ WITH ATTENTION . THIS IS THE RULE THAT TAKES PRECEDENCE OF ALL OTHERS. IT STANDS INSTEAD OF A SCORE OF MINOR DIRECTIONS. INDEED IT COMPREHENDS THEM ALL, AND IS THE GOLDEN RULE.

                                IT IS NOT NECESSARY, NOR IS IT ADVISABLE TO ATTEMPT TO MEMORIZING THE TEXT OF A BOOK, EXCEPTING, PERHAPS, A FEW PASSAGES THAT MAY SEEM WORTHY TO BE TREASURED UP WORD FOR WORD. THE PRINCIPLE THING TO BE REMEMBERED ABOUT A BOOK IS ITS MEANING - WHAT IT IS ABOUT.

                               IF THE BOOK IS A HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, AUTOBIOGRAPHY, NARRATIVE OR STORY OF FACT OR FICTION, YOU WILL FIND IT OF VALUE TO VISUALIZE ITS OCCURENCES AS THE STORY UNFOLDS.

                           IN ORDER TO FULLY ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH A BOOK, BEFORE READING IT YOU SHOULD FAMILIRIZE YOURSELF WITH ITS GENERAL CHARACTER. TO DO THIS YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE FULL TITLE, AND THE SUBTITLE, IF THERE BE BY. YOU SHOULD READ THE PERFACE AND STUDY CAREFULLY THE TABLE OF CONTENTS.

                          WHEN LISTENING TO A SEMON, SPEECH OR DISCOURSE, ATTEND TO WHAT IS SAID, AND RECORD IN YOUR MIND SO THAT WHEN YOU REVIEW IT AFTERWARDS, YOU WILL BE PRESENTED WITH A GOOD SYNOPSIS OF IT. YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO ABSORB AND RECORD THE IDEAS AND GENERAL THOUGHT EXPRESSED. INTEREST - ATTENTION - PRACTICE - REVIEW - THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT POINT IN MEMORY.

                                          NUMBERS

                        THE GREAT DIFFICULTY IN REMEMBERING NUMBERS, TO THE MAJORITY OF PERSONS, IS THE FACT THAT NUMBERS "DO NOT MEAN ANYTHING TO THEM" THAT IS, THAT NUMBERS ARE THOUGHT OF ONLY IN THEIR ABSTRACT PHASE AND NATURE, AND ARE CONSEQUENTLY FAR MORE DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER THAN ARE IMPRESSIONS RECEIVED FROM THE SENSE OF SIGHT OR SOUND. THE REMEDY, HOWEVER, BECOMES APPARENT WHEN WE RECOGNIZE THE SOURCE OF THE DIFFICULTY. THE REMEDY IS : MAKE THE NUMBER THE SUBJECT OF THE SENSE OF IMPRESSIONS OF SIGHT OR SOUND, OR BOTH, ACCORDING TO WHICH ARE THE BEST DEVELOPED IN YOUR PARTICULAR CASE.

                  A GOOD WAY TO MEMORIZE DATES, SPECIAL NUMBERS CONNECTED WITH EVENTS, ETC, IS TO VISUALIZE THE PICTURE OF THE EVENT WITH THE PICTURE OF THE DATE OR NUMBER, THUS COMBINING THE TWO THINGS INTO A MENTAL PICTURE, THE ASSOCIATION OF WHICH WILL BE PRESENTED WHEN THE PICTURE IS RECALLED.

                   IN MEMORY, THE THREE RULES ARE , "INTEREST , ATTENTION AND EXERCISE" AND THE LAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, FOR WITHOUT IS THE OTHERS FAIL.

                   LET FIGURES AND NUMBERS "MEAN SOMETHIG" TO YOU, AND THE REST WILL BE MERELY A MATTER OF DETAIL.

                                              FACES

                         THE ABILITY TO REMEMBER FAES IS POSSESSED BY ALL PERSONS, BUT IN VARYING DEGREES. THOSE IN WHOM IT IS WELL DEVELOPED SEEM TO RECOGNIZE THE FACES OF PERSONS WHOM THEY MET YEARS BEFORE, AND TO ASSOCIATE THEM WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THEY LAST MET THEM, EVEN WHERE THE NAME ESCAPES THE MEMORY. OTHERS SEEM TO FORGET A FACE THE MOMENT IT PASSESS FROM VIEW, AND FAIL TO RECOGNIZE THE SAME PERSONS WHOM THEY MET ONLY A FEW HOURS BEFORE.

                    THE STUDY OF A GOOD ELEMENTARY WORK ON PHYSIOGNOMY IS RECOMMEDED TO THOSE WISHING TO DEVELOP THE FACULTY OF REMEMBERING FACES, FOR IN SUCH A WORK THE STUDENT IS LED TO NOTICE TEH DIFFERENT KINDS OF NOSES, EARS, EYES, CHINS, FOREHEADS, ETC, SUCH NOTICE AND RECOGNITION TENDING TO INDUCE AN INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT OF FEATURES.

                   A GOOD PLAN IN DEVELOPING THIS FACULTY IS TO VISUALIZE THE FACES OF PERSONS YOU HAVE MET DURING THE DAY, IN THE EVENING. TRY TO DEVELOP THE FACULTY OF VISUALIZING THE FEATURES OF THOSE WHOM YOU KNOW - THIS WILL START YOU OFF RIGHT. DRAW THEM IN YOUR MIND - SEE THEM WITH YOUR MIND'S EYE, UNTIL YOU VISUALIZE THE FEATURES OF VERY OLD FRIENDS, THEN DO THE SAME WITH ACQUAINTANCES, AND SO ON, UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO VISUALIZE THE FEATURES OF EVERY ON YOU "KNOW". THEN START ON TO ADD TO YOUR LIST BY RECALLING IN THE IMAGINATION, THE FEATURES OF STRANGERS WHOM YOU MEET. BY A LITTLE PRACTICE OF THIS KIND YOU WILL DEVELOP A GREAT INTEREST IN FACES AND YOUR MEMORY OF THEM, AND THE POWER TO RECALL THEM WILL INCREASES RAPIDLY.

TO GET MORE MEMORY POWER

 

                        

                             THE POWER OF YOUR BRAIN

                             HOW TO REMEMBER PLACES

                              THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN THE VARIOUS DEGREES OF DEVELOPMENT OF "THE SENSE OF LOCALITY" IN DIFFERENT PERSONS. BUT THESE DIFFERENCES MAY BE TRACED DIRECTLY TO THE DEGREE OF MEMORY OF THAT PARTICULAR PHASE OF FACULTY OF THE MIND, WHICH IN TURN DEPENDS UPON THE DEGREE OF ATTENTION , INTEREST AND USE THAT HAS BEEN BESTOWED UPON THE FACULTY IN QUESTION. THE FACULTY OF LOCALITY INCLUDES COGNIZANCE OF PLACE, RECOLLECTION OF THE LOOKS OF PLACES, ROADS, SCENERY, AND THE LOCATION OF OBJECTS, WHERE ON A PAGE IDEAS ARE TO BE FOUND, AND POSITION GENERALLY, THE GEOGRAPHICAL FACULTY, THE DESIRE TO SEE PLACES, AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIND THEM.

                           PERSONS IN WHOM THIS FACULTY IS DEVELOPED TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE SEEM TO HAVE AN ALMOST INTUITIVE IDEA OF DIRECTION, PLACE AND POSITION. THEY NEVER GET LOSE OR "MIXED UP" REGARDING DIRECTION OR PLACE.THEY REMEMBER THE PLACES THEY VISIT AND THEIR RELATION IN SPACE TO EACH OTHER . THEIR MINDS ARE LIKE MAPS UPON WHICH ARE ENGRAVED THE VARIOUS ROADS, STREETS AND OBJECTS OF SIGHT IN EVERY DIRECTION. WHEN THESE PEOPLE THINK OF CHINA, LABRADOR, TERRA DEL FUEGO, NORWAY, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, TIBET, OR ANY OTHER PLACE, THEY SEEM TO THINK OF IT IN "THIS DIRECTION OR THAT DIRECTION" RATHER THAN AS A VAGUE PLACE SITUATED IN A VAGUE DIRECTION. THEIR MINDS THINK "NORTH, SOUTH, EAST OR WEST, AS THE CASE MAY BE WHEN THEY CONSIDER A GIVEN PLACE. 

                              SHADING DOWN BY DEGREES WE FIND PEOPLE AT THE OTHER POLE OF THE FACULTY WHO SEEM TO FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMEMBER ANY DIRECTION, OR LOCALITY OR RELATION IS SPACE, SUCH PEOPLE ARE CONSTANTLY LOSING THEMSELVES IN THEIR OWN TOWS, AND FEAR TO TRUST THEMSELVES IN A STRANGE PLACE. THEY HAVE NO SENSE  OF DIRECTION, OR PLACE, AND FAIL TO RECOGNIZE A STREET OR SCENE THAT THEY HAVE VISITED RECENTLY, NOT TO SPEAK OF THOSE THAT THEY TRAVELED OVER IN TIME PAST. BETWEEN THESE TWO POLES OR DEGREES THERE IS A VAST DIFFERENCE, AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO REALIZE THAT IT IS ALL A MATTER OF USE, INTEREST AND ATTENTION. THAT IT IS BUT THIS MAY BE PROVEN BY  ANYONE WHO WILL TAKE THE TROUBLE AND PAINS TO DEVELOP THE FACULTY AND MEMORY OF LOCALITY WITHIN HIS MIND. MANY HAVE DONE THIS, AND ANYONE ELSE MAY DO LIKEWISE IF THE PROPER METHODS WERE EMPLOYED.

                         THE SECRET OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACULTY AND MEMORY OF PLACE AND LOCALITY IS AKIN TO THAT MENTIONED IN THE PRECEEDING CHAPTERS, IN CONNECTION WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MEMORY FOR NAMES AND FACES. THE FIRST THING NECESSARY IT TO DEVELOP AN INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT. YOU SHOULD BEGIN TO "TAKE NOTICE" OF THE DIRECTION OF THE STREETS OR ROADS OVER WHICH YOU TRAVEL, THE LANDMARK THE TURNS OF THE ROAD, THE NATURAL OBJECTS ALONG THE WAY. YOU SHOULD STUDY MAPS, UNTIL YOU AWAKEN A NEW INTEREST IN THEM, JUST AS DID MR.X, WHO USED THE DIRECTORY IN ORDER TO TAKE AN INTEREST IN NAMES. YOU SHOULD PROCURE A SMALL GEOGRAPHY BOOK AND STUDY DIRECTION, DISTANCE, LOCATION, SHAPE AND FORM OF COUNTRIES, ETC. NOT AS A MERE MECHANICAL THING BUT AS A LIVE SUBJECT OF INTEREST. IF THERE WERE A LARGE SUM OF MONEY AWAITING YOUR COMING IN CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE GLOBE, YOU WOULD MANIFEST A DECIDED INTEREST  IN THE DIRECTION, LOCALITY AND POSITION OF THOSE PLACES, AND THE BEST WAY IN REACH THEM. BEFORE LONG YOU WOULD BE A VARIATABLE REFERENCE BOOK REGARDING THOSE SPECIAL PLACES. THE WHOLE THING LIES IN THE DEGREE OF "WANT TO" REGARDING THE MATTER. DESIRE AWAKENS INTERESTS, INTEREST EMPLOYS ATTENTION, AND ATTENTION BRINGS USE. YOU MUST FIRST WANT TO DEVELOP THE FACULTY OF LOCALITY - AND WANT TO "HARD ENOUGH". THE REST IS A MERE MATTER OF DETAIL.

                        KEY POINTS

                        THE FACULTY OF LOCALITY INCLUDES COGNIZANCE OF PLACE, RECOLLECTION OF THE LOOKS OF PLACES, ROADS, SCENERY, AND THE LOCATION OF OBJECTS, WHERE ON A PAGE IDEAS ARE TO BE FOUND, AND POSITION GENERALLY, THE GEOGRAPHICAL FACULTY, THE DESIRE TO SEE PLACES, AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIND THEM.

                         PROCURE A SMALL GEOGRAPHY BOOK AND STUDY DIRECTION, DISTANCES, LOCATION , SHAPE AND FORM OF COUNTRIES, ETC. NOT AS A MERE MECHANICAL THING BUT AS A LIVE SUBJECT OF INTEREST.

                            WHEN YOU GO OUT FOR A WALK OR A DRIVE IN YOUR CAR, GO IN A ROUND-ABOUT WAY, TAKING AS MANY TURNS AND TWISTS AS POSSIBLE. IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR FACULTY OF LOCALITY AND DIRECTION - BUT ALWAYS NOTE CAREFULLY DIRECTION AND GENERAL COURSE, SO THAT YOU MAY REPRODUCE IT CORRECTLY ON YOUR MAP WHEN YOU RETURN.

                          IF ABOUT TO VISIT A STRAGE CITY, PROCURE A MAP OF IT BEFORE STARTING, AND BEGIN BY NOTHING THE CARDINAL POINTS OF THE COMPASS, STUDY TEH MAP - THE DIRECTIONS OF THE PRINCIPAL STREETS AND THE RELATIVE POSITIONS OF THE PRINCIPAL POINTS OF INTEREST, BUILDINGS, ETC. IN THIS WAY YOU NOT ONLY DEVELOP YOUR MEMORY OF PLACES, AND RENDER YOURSELF PROOF AGAINST BEING LOST, BUT YOU ALSO PROVIDE A SOURCE OF NEW AND GREAT INTEREST IN YOUR VISIT.

YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR LIFE

 

                                  BECOME WEALTH WITH YOUR MIND

                       1. DECIDE TO BE WEALTHY THE EASY WAY, WITH THE INFALLIBLE AID OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

                       2. TRYING TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH BY THE SWEAT OF YOUR BROW AND HARD LABOR IS ONE WAY TO BECOME THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STRIVE OR SLAVE HARD.

                       3. WEALTH IS A SUBCONSCIOUS CONVICTION. BUILD INTO YOUR MENTALITY THE IDEA OF WEALTH. 

                       4. THE TROUBLE WITH MOST PEOPLE IS THAT THEY HAVE NO INVISIBLE MEANS OF SUPPORT.

                       5. REPEAT THE WORD, "WEALTH", TO YOURSELF SLOWLY AND QUIETLY FOR ABOUT FIVE  MINUTES PRIOR TO SLEEP AND YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS WILL BRING WEALTH TO PASS IN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

                       6. THE FEELING OF WEALTH PRODUCES WEALTH. KEEP THIS IN MIND AT ALL TIMES.

                        7. YOUR CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS MIND MUST AGREE. YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS ACCEPTS WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL TO BE TRUE. THE DOMINANT IDEA IS ALWAYS ACCEPTED BY YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. THE DOMINANT IDEA SHOULD BE WEALTH, NOT POVERTY.

                       8. YOU CAN OVERCOME ANY MENTAL CONFLICT REGARDING WEALTH BY AFFIRMING FREQUENTLY, "BY DAY AND BY NIGHT I AM BEIG PROSPERED IN ALL OF MY INTERESTS".

                       9. INCREASE YOUR SALES BY REPEATING THIS STATEMENT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, "MY SALES ARE IMPROVING EVERY DAY, I AM ADVANCING, PROGRESSING, AND GETTING WEALTHIER EVERY DAY".

                     10. STOP WRITING BLANK CHECKS, SUCH AS, "THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TO GO AROUND " OR THERE IS A SHORTAGE, ETC. SUCH STATEMENTS MAGNIFY AND MULTIPLY YOUR LOSS.

                      11. DEPOSIT THOUGHTS OF PROSPERITY, WEALTH, AND SUCCESS IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, AND THE LATTER WILL GIVE YOU COMPOUND INTEREST. 

                      12. WHAT YOU CONSCIOUSLY AFFIRM,YOU MUST NOT MENTALLY DENY A FEW MOMENTS LATER. THIS WILL NEUTRALIZE THE GOOD YOU HAVE AFFIRMED.

                     13. YOUR TRUE SOURCE OF WEALTH CONSISTS OF THE IDEA IN YOUR MIND. YOU CAN HAVE AN IDEA WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. YOUR SUBCONSIOUS WILL GIVE YOU THE IDEA YOU SEEK.

                    14. ENVY AND JEALOUSY ARE STUMBLING BLOCKS TO THE FLOW OF WEALTH. REJOICE IN THE PROSPERITY OF OTHERS.

                   15. THE BLOCK TO WEALTH IS IN YOUR OWN MIND. DESTROY THAT BLOCK NOW BY GETTING ON GOOD MENTAL TERMS WITH EVERYONE.

                                        WHY NOTHING HAPPENDED

                 I CAN HEAR YOU SAYING, "OH, I DID THAT AND NOTHING HAPPENED, YOU DID NOT GET RESULTS BECAUSE YOU INDULGED IN FEAR THOUGHT PERHAPS TEN MINUTES LATER AND NEUTRALIZED THE GOOD YOU HAD AFFIRMED. WHEN YOU PLACE A SEED IN THE GROUND, YOU DO NOT DIG IT UP. YOU LET IT TAKE ROOT AND GROW.

            SUPPOSE, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU ARE GOING TO SAY, "I SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT"

            BEFORE YOU GET FURTHER THAN, "I SHALL" STOP THE SENTENCE AND DWELL ON A CONSTRUCTIVE STATEMENT, SUCH AS, "BY DAY AND BY NIGHT I AM PROSPERED IN ALL MY WAYS"

                                         TRUE SOURCE OF WEALTH

                     

                  YOUR SUNCONSCIOUS MIND IS NEVER SHORT OF IDEAS. THERE ARE WITHIN IT AN INFINITE NUMBER OF IDEAS READY TO FLOW INTO YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND AND APPEAR AS CASH IN YOUR POCKETBOOK IN COUNTLESS WAYS. THIS PROCESS WILL CONTINUE TO GO IN YOUR MIND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE STOCK MARKET GOES UP OR DOWN, OR WHETHER THE POUND STERLING OR DOLLAR DROPS IN VALUE.

              YOUR WEALTH IS NEVER TRULY DEPENDENT ON BONDS, STOCKS, OR MONEY IN THE BLANK, THESE ARE REALLY ONLY SYMBOLS, NECESSARY AND USEFUL, OF COURSE, BUT ONLY SYMBOLS.

              THE POINT I WISH TO EMPHASIZE IS THAT IF YOU CONVINCE YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND THAT WEALTH IS YOURS, AND THAT IT IS ALWAYS CIRCULATING IN YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL ALWAYS AND INEVITABLY HAVE IT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM IT TAKES.

 

                    TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND THE REAL CAUSE

                THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CLAI THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE ENDS MEET. THEY SEEM TO HAVE A GREAT STRUGGLE TO MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS. HAVE YOU LISTENED TO THEIR CONVERSATION?

               IN MANY INSTANCES THEIR CONVERSATION RUNS ALONG THIS VEIN. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CONDEMNING THOSE WHO HAVE SUCCEEDING IN LIFE AND WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR HEADS ABOVE THE CROWD. PERHAPS THEY ARE SAYING, "OH, THAT FELLOW HAS A RACKET, HE RUTHLESS, HE IS A CROOK," THIS IS WHY THEY LACK, THEY ARE CONDEMNING THE THING THEY DESIRE AND WANT. THE REASON THEY SPEAK CRITICALLY OF THEIR MORE PROPEROUS THE OTHERS PROSPERITY. THE QUICKEST WAY TO CAUSE WEALTH TO TAKE WINGS AND FLY AWAY IS TO CRITICIZE AND CONDEMN OTHERS WHO HAVE MORE WEALTH THAN YOU.

                         A COMMON STUMBLING BLOCK TO WEALTH

             THERE IS ONE EMOTION, WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF THE LACK OF WEALTH IN THE LIVES OF MANY . MOST PEOPLE LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY. IT IS ENVY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU SEE A COMPETITOR DEPOSITING LARGE SUMS OF MONEY IN THE BANK, AND YOU HAVE ONLY A MEAGER AMOUNT TO DEPOSIT, DOES IT MAKE YOU ENVIOUS ? THE WAY TO OVERCOME THIS EMOTION IS TO SAY TO YOURSELF, "ISN'T IT WONDERFUL ! I REJOICE IN THAT MAN'S PROSPERITY. I WISH FOR HIM GREATER AND GREATER WEALTH".

         TO ENTERTAIN ENVIOUS THOUGHTS IS DEVASTATING BECAUSE IT PLACES YOU IN A VERY NEGATIVE POSITION, THEREFORE, WEALTH FLOWS  FROM YOU INSTEAD OF TO YOU . IF YOU ARE EVER ANNOYED OR IRRITATED BY THE PROSPERITY OR GREAT WEALTH OF ANOTHER, CLAIM IMMEDIATELY THAT YOU TRULY WISH FOR HIM GREATER WEALTH IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY. THIS WILL NEUTRALIZE THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS IN YOUR MIND AND CAUSE AN EVER-GREATER MEASURE OF WEALTH TO FLOW TO YOU BY THE LAW OF YOUR OWN SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

                       RUBBING OUT A GREAT MENTAL BLOCK TO WEALTH

                  IF YOU ARE WORRIED AND CRITICAL SOMEONE WHOM YOU CLAIM IS MAKING MONEY DISHONESTLY, CEASE WORRYING ABOUT HIM. YOU KNOW SUCH AS A PERSON IS USING THE LAW OF MIND NEGATIVELY, THE LAW OF MIND TAKES CARE OF HIM. HE CAREFUL NOT TO CRITICIZE HIM FOR THE REASONS PREVIOUSLY INDICATED. REMEMBER. THE CAN NOW DESTROY THAT MENTAL BLOCK. THIS YOU MAY DO BY GETTING ON MENTAL GOOD TERMS WITH EVERYONE.

                                        SLEEP AND GROW RICH

                  AS YOU GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT, PRACTICE THE FOLLOWING TECHNIQUE. REPEAT THE WORD, "WEALTH", QUIETLY, EASILY, AND FEELINGLY. DO THIS OVER AND OVER AGIAN, JUST LIKE A LULLABY. LULL YOURSELF TO SLEEP WITH THE ONE WORD, "WEALTH". YOU SHOULD BE AMAZED AT THE RESULT.

                WEALTH SHOULD FLOW TO YOU IN AVALANCHES OF ABUNDANCE. THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE MAGIC POWER OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.
