YOUR FUTURE IS DEPEND ON YOUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS

                                                THOUGHTS AND WORDS

             WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SERIOUSLY THOUGHT ABOUT THE WORS YOU USE EACH AND EVERY DAY? HOW CAREFULLY DO YOU SELECT THEM? 

               NOW, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, 'JEFF', WHY ALL THIS FUSS ABOUT WORDS? WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, YOUR WORDS HAVE INCREDIBLE POWER. THEY CAN BUILD A BRIGHT FUTURE, DESTROY OPPORTUNITY OR HELP MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO. YOUR WORDS REINFORCE YOUR BELIEFS... AND YOUR BELIEFS CREATE YOUR REALITY.

                         THOUGHT* WORDS * BELIEFS * ACTIONS * RESULTS

         HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. TOM HAS A THOUGHT, SUCH AS I'M NOT VERY GOOD WHEN IT COMES TO SALES, NOW, LET'S REMEMBER THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE THIS THOUGHT ONLY ONCE. OH, NO, HE'S RUN IT THROUGH HIS MIND ON A REGULAR BASIS, MAYBE HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF TIMES IN HIS LIFE!

            THEN, TOM STARTS TO USE WORDS THAT SUPPORT THIS THOUGHT. HE SAYS TO HIS FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES, I'M NEVER GOING TO DO VERY WELL IN SALES', OR I JUST HATE MAKING SALES CALLS OR APPROACHING PROSPECTS', HERE AGAIN, TOM REPEAT THESE PHRASES OVER AND OVER, IN HIS SELF-TALK AND IN HIS DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHERS.

            THIS, IN TURN, STRENGHTHENS HIS BELIEFS - AND IT'S AT THIS STAGE WHERE THE RUBBER REALLY MEETS THE ROAD. YOU SEE,EVERYTHING THAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE IN YOUR LIFE FLOWS FROM YOUR BELIEFS. SO, IN OUR SALES EXAMPLE, TOM DEVELOPS THE BELIEF THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN SALES AND THAT HE WON'T EARN MUCH MONEY. THIS BECOMES EXBEDDED IN HIS SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

         WHAT CAN POSSIBLY FLOW FROM THAT BELIEF? BECAUSE, TOM DOESN'T BELIEVE IN HIS SALES ABILITY, HE TAKES VERY LITTLY ACTION, OR HE TAKES ACTIONS THAT AREN'T PRODUCTIVE. HE DOESN'T DO THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO SUCCEED IN SALES.

          AND THEN, QUITE PREDICTABLY, TOM GET VERY POOR RESULTS. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, TOM THEN STARTS TO THINK MORE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS... REPEAT MORE NEGATIVE WORDS... REINFORCE NEGATIVE BELIEFS.... AND GET EVEN MORE NEGATIVE RESULTS. IT'S VICIOUS CYCLE!

           

                            OF COURSE, THIS WHOLE PROCESS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY HAPPY ENDING IF TOM HAD SELECTED POSITIVE THOUGHTS.... AND REINFORCED THEM WITH POSITIVE WORDS. IN TURN, HE'D REINFORCE THE BELIEF THAT HE'S SUCCESSFUL IN SALES. AS A RESULT, TOM WOULD TAKE ACTIONS CONSISTENT WITH THAT BELIEF... AND WIND UP WITH OUTSTANDING RESULTS.

                      MY POINT IS DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE ROLE OF YOUR WORDS IN THIS PROCESS. PEOPLE WHO FEED THEMSELVES A STEADY DIET O NEGATIVE WORDS ARE DESTINED TO HAVE A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE. IT'S A SIMPLE MATTER OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. YOU CAN'T KEEP REPEATING NEGATIVE WORDS AND EXPECT TO BE A HIGH ACHIEVER. AND THAT'S BECAUSE NEGATIVE WORDS WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO THE REINFORCEMENT OF NEGATIVE BELIEFS- AND EVENTUALLY TO NEGATIVE OUTCOMES.

                   WHY YOU DON'T WANT ME TO FIX ANYTHING IN YOUR HOME

                  WHEN IT OMES TO HOME REPAIRS, I'M LOST. YOU WANT ME TO REPLACE A FAUCET OF FIX SOMETHING IN THE TOILET TANK? I'D HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF REACHING THE TOP OF MOUNT EVEREST. CARPENTRY OR ELECTRICAL WIRING? I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE. YOU WANT TO KNOW MY ULTIMATE ACHILLES HEEL? IT'S THOSE INTRUCTION SHEETS THAT EXPLAIN HOW TO ASSEMBLE SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE JUST TAKEN OUT OF THE BOX. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN- THOSE BLACK AND WHITE BOOKLETS WITH REFERENCES TO "FIGURE 10A" THAT SHOW YOU (OR CLAIM OT SHOW YOU!) WHERE ALL THE NUTS AND BOLDS GO... AND HOW ALL THE PARTS FIT TOGETHER.

            INSTRUCTION SHEETS HAVE THE SAME AFFECT ON ME AS KRYPTONITE HAD ON SUPERMAN. IF YOU RECALL THE OLD SUPERMAN PROGRAMS, THE VILLAIN WOULD SHOOT BULLETS AT SUPERMAN - AND THE BULLERTS BOUNCED OFF HIS CHEST HARMLESSLY. BUT THERE WAS ONE SUBSTANCE THAT SUPERMAN COULD NOT DEFEND AGAINST - KRYPONITE. WHENEVER THE BAD GUY HELD UP A PIECE OF KRYTONITE, SUPERMAN GOT WOBBY AND BEGAN TO LOSE HIS POWER.

            WELL, WHEN I SEE AN INSTRUCTION SHEET, I GET WEAK IN THE KNEES AND LOSE MY POWER, I KUST KNOW IT'S USELESS FOR ME TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. THERE'S NO WAY I'M GOING TO UNDERSTAND IT. SO I PUT DOWN THE INTRUCTIONS AND YELL FOR DOLORES TO COME IN AND SHOW ME WHAT TO DO, FOR DOLORES, IT'S A PIECE OF CAKE.

         HOW DID IT COME TO THIS? I DON'T CLAIM TO BE THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD, BUT I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE REASONABLY INTELLIGENT. AM I MISSING SOME GENE FOR HOME REPAIR SKILLS THAT OTHER PEOPLE WERE GIVEN? NO, THAT'S NO IT, EITHER.

          THE ANSWER IS QUITE OBVIOUS. FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS, I HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID, I'M NO GOOD AT MECHANICAL THINGS, AND I CAN'T FIX ANYTHING, AND  LO AND BEHOLD AFTER 40 YEARS OF USING NEGATIVE WORDS, I'VE DEVELOPED A STRONG BELIEF THAT I CAN'T DO THESE THINGS.

           DO  YOU SEE HOW I CREATED THIS SITUATION BY NOT BEING CAREFUL ABOUT THE WORDS I USED? AND, THE TRUTH IS I COULD EVENTUALLY REVERSE THIS TIRED IF I'D USING POSITIVE WORDS ABOUT MY ABILITY TO MEK REPAIRS.

SCIENTIST'S WORDS ARE WORTH LOOKING AT

 

                      YEARS AGO, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT KENT CULLERS, A SCIENTIST WHO HEADED NASA'S SEARCH FOR EXTRA TERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE PROJECT. CULLERS, WHO HAS A DOCTORATE IN PHYSICS, WAS DEVELOPING SOFTWARE THAT SEARCHES FOR RADIO SIGNALS INDICATING THE PRESENCE OF OTHER LIFE FORMS IN THE UNIVERSE.

                 SOUNDS A LITTEL LIKE STAR TREK, DOESN'T IT? BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THIS IS SOM PRETTY TECHNICAL SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

                 AND YET,CULLERS HAS A PHYSICAL CHALLENGE TO CONTEND WITH. LET ME TELL YOU HOW HE DESCRIBES IT. HE REFERS TO HIS CONDITION AS A TRIVIAL AFFLICTION, AND JUST BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE, WHAT IS CULLERS PARTICULAR PHYSICAL CHALLENGE? A TOUCH OF ARTHRITIS? OR AN OCCASIONAL MIGRAINE HEADACHE?

               KENT CULLERS IN BLIND. THAT'S RIGHT, HE'S BLIND ISN'T IT INCREDIBLE THAT SOMEONE CAN DESCRIBE BLINDNESS AS A TRIVIAL AFFLICTION, OR JUST BARELY AN INCONVINENIENCE?

           BY USING THESE WORDS, KENT CULLERS IS EMPOWERING HIMSELF TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS. HE DOESN'T GIVE ANY POWER TO HIS LIMITATIONS AND, AS A RESULT, HE IS ABLE TO TRASCEND THEM AND ACCOMPLISH MORE THAN THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR SIGHT.

         WHAT OBSTACLES ARE YOU FACING IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW? IMAGINE THE POWER YOU COULD UNLESS IF YOU SAW THEM AS "JUST BARELY AN INCONVENIENCE" INSTEAD OF AS AN INSURMOUNTABLE BARRIER.

SPOUSE, SIBLINGS AND FRIENDS

                                            WHERE IS IN OUR HAPPINESS

                                                               SPOUSE

                  WHILE WE ALL ARE INDIVIDUAL SOULS, ONCE YOU ARE IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP OR MARRIED, YOUR SPOUSE HOLDS THE HIGHEST PRIORITY IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP LIST-IT WILL CLASH WITH YOUR OTHER RELATIONSHIPS OCCASIONALLY BUT THEIR IS NOT THE POINT. THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR  LIE A HEAVEN BY CULTIVATING A RICH AND STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR SPOUSE.

              THERE COULD BE AN ENTIRE BOOK ON THIS SUBJECT BUT FOR NOW, LET US TOUCH UPON CERTAIN CRITICAL ELEMENTS. I URGE YOU TO CHECK YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR SPOUSE RIGHT NOW BY ASKING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

            1. DO YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE FEEL HAPPY WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER?

            2. WHEN DID YOU LASY SAY 'I LOVE YOU' TO YOUR SPOUSE?

            3. DO YOU MISS EACH OTHER WHEN YOU ARE NOT TOGETHER?

            4. ARE YOU CONSTANTLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING AN EXCLUSIVE DAY WITH EATH OTHER?

            5. IS YOUR SPOUSE ON YOUR MIND WHEN YOU COMMIT TIME TO SOMEONE ELSE, WHICH CLASHES WITH YOUR BEING TOGETHER?

           6. ARE YOU CONSCIOUS OF THE WAY YOU TREAT YOUR SPOUSE IN FRONT OF YOUR KIDS OR ANYBODY ELSE?

          7. DO YOU STILL MAKE YOUR SPOUSE FEEL SPECIAL EVERY NOW AND THEM?

          8. IF YOU, LIKE ME, DO NOT KNOW WHAT GIFT TO PICK, DO YOU AT LEAST DO SOMETHING THAT PLEASES YOUR SPOUSE LIKE TEXTING HER A FEW WORDS WHEN YOU ARE AWAY OR WHISPERING THOSE ENCOURAGING WORDS SHE NEES FROM NO ONE IN THE WORLD EXCEPT YOU?

              THE LIST CAN GO ON BUT I KNOW YOU MUST HAVE GO THE POINT BY NOW.

              MY WIFE MEANS THE WORLD TO ME-NO MATTER HOW BUSY OR OCCUPIED I MIGHT BE, I CONSTANTLY LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO MY NEST WITH HER. HER FEW ENCOURAGING WORDS CAN PUMP ME UP, AND I NEED NOTHING ELSE. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHEN TO TAP ME, WHEN TO HUG ME, WHEN TO GIVE ME SPACE, AND WHEN TO BECOME MY FRIEND/PHILOSOPHER/GUIDE. SHE IS THE EPITOME OF BEING NON-JUDGEMENTAL OF ME.

             IN THIS CURRENT PHASE OF MY LIFE. I SPEND MY WEEK ON WORK ASSIGNMENTS IN A NEIGHBOURING CITY AND RETURN TO MY HOME TOWN DURING THE WEEKEND OR HOLIDAYS. THIS PHASE HAS ADDED AN EXTRA DOSE OF ROMANCE IN OUR LIVES- IT'S LIKE WE ARE DATING EACH OTHER ALL OVER AGAIN. WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR WEEKEND MEETINGS. SHE THINKS SO MUCH ABOUT MY WELLBEING AND TAKES CARE OF EVERY LITTLE THING THAT I MIGHT NEED DURING MY WEEKDAYS - BE IT FOOD, CLOTHES, OR OTHER THINGS I MIGHT NEED. APART FROM THIS, WE ALSO TALK SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.

             WHILE I HAVE SPECIFIED, 'SPOUSE' HERE, I AM AWARE THAT WE LIVE IN MODERN TIMES, AND SOME OF YOU WHO ARE MUCH YOUNGER MAY HAVE DIFFERENT TERM BASED ON YOUR RELATIONSHIPS. YOU CAN REPLACE THE TERM WITH BOY OR GIRL FRIEND, LIVE-IN-RELATIONSHIP PARTNER, WOULD-BE SPOUSE ETC. IN SHORT, I AM REFERRING TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PERSON YOU INTEND TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH.

              THE ABOVE ARE CHECKPOINTS TO DETERMINE THE STATE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP AT THE MOMENT - I AM NOT GOING TO FIX YOUR RELATIONSHIP - IT IS ONLY FOR YOU TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE CURRENTLY, CONSIDER IT CAREFULLY, AND MAKE ANY CHANGES/ CORRECTION IF REQUIRED.

                                                                        SIBLINGS

                                                                           ❤❤❤❤❤

                TEAM SPIRIT, SHARING, THE FEELING OF BELONGINGNESS, INNOCENCE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, AND OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF LIFE ARE LEARNT IN ONE'S EARLY DAYS. I AM SURE THAT ALL OF US WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE SIBLINGS KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. FOR THOSE WHO ARE ONLY CHILDREN, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THESE ELEMENTS IN THE SIBLINGS OF YOUR NEAR AND DEAR ONES.

               I HAVE SEEN THIS IN MY OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH MY TWO SISTERS AND IN MY DAUGHTER AND SON. SIBLINGS PROVIDE UNSPOKEN AND UNCONDITIONAL MENTAL SHELTER TO EACH OTHER. THEY KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE HOUSEHOLD FROM A VERY TENDER AGE, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY FIGHT CONSTANTLY FOR LITTLE THINGS, THEY CLEVERLY TEAM UP WHEN IT COMES TO CERTAIN OTHER THINGS. FOR INSTANCE, PROTESTING TO THEIR PARENTS ABOUT SOMETHING THE DON'T AGREE UPON, WHEN AN OUTSIDER WRONGS ONE OF THEM, OR SIMPLY WHEN THEY SEE THAT THE SIBLING IS LEFT OUT OF SOMTHING.

              RIGHT FROM SHARING OR NOT SHARING LITTLE TOYS, EATING FROM EACH OTHER'S PLATE, KEEPING QUIET ABOUT SOME HOUSEHOLD SECRET THEY DISCOVERED, TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO CHANGE THEIR PARENT'S MOODS - THEY LEARN THESE AT A VERY EARLY AGE IN AN UNSTRUCTURED WAY. THIS EVENTUALLY MAKES THEM STRONGER AND MORE CARING INDIVIDUALS READY TO TAKE ON WORDLY FIGHTS LATER ON.

                 IF, FOR ANY REASON, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BROTHER AND / OR SISTER IS NOT GOOD AT THE MOMENT, WASTE NO FURTHER TIME AND JUST CATCH UP WITH HIM AND / OR HER RIGHT AWAY. I CAN ASSURE YOU THE BAGGAGE OF A SOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR SIBLINGS IS HEAVIER THAN THE TEMPORARY DISCOMFORT YOU MIGHT FACE IN RECONNECTING. IT WILL DEFINITELY BE WORTH IT- DO NOT LOOK AND THINK BEYOND THIS POINT, JUST DO IT.

                ONCE DONE, YOU WILL FEEL TRANSFORMED, STRONG, AND READY TO FIGHT WORLDLY BATTLES WITH BETTER CONVICTION. FEEL FREE TO WRITE TO ME IF YOU HAVE DONE THIS AND BENEFIETED FROM IT.

                                                                            FRIENDS

                         MY FAMILY WILL BE QUITE SURPRISED TO SEE ME WRITING ABOUT FRIENDS AS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ME SPENDING TIME WITH FRIENDS. INFACT, THEY EVEN WONDER IF I HAVE ANY FRIENDS AT ALL. SO. LET ME CLARIFY HERE THAT FRIENDS ARE NOT NECESSARILY THOSE WITH WHOM YOU SPEND TIME, EAT WITH FREQUENTLY, OR GO OUT WITH EVERY NOW AND THEN.  IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO THAT, THEN GREAT! HOWEVER, THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE QUALIFYING CRITERIA FOR  GOOD FRIENDSHIP.

                    FRIENDS ARE THOSE WITH WHOM YOU FEEL INSTANTLY  AT HOME, POUT YOUR HEART OUT, SAY ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING JUDGED, AND COMPLETELY BE YOURSELF. YOU GET THAT MUCHNEEDED ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOUR NEW VENTURES WHEN THE ENTIRE WORLD IS BENT UPON ADVISING YOU TO NOT GET INTO IT. IT IS ONLY TRUE FRIEND WHO ENCOURAGES YOU TO FOLLOW YOUR HEART, IMPORTANT TO YOU HAVE ENDORSED YOUR MOVE.

                 AS FOR ME, I HAVE JUST THREE FRIENDS-MY NEIGHBOURS AND SCHOOL BUDDIES. WE HARDLY MEET- I LOST ONE OF THEM RECENTLY (GOD BLESS HIS SOUL), AND TWO OF THEM LIVE IN DIFFERENT CITIES AND COUNTRIES - BUT, WHENEVER WE DO MEET AND TALK, WE INSTANTLY CONNECT. NOBODY ELSE CAN UNDERSTAND OUR RELATIONSHIP BUT WE KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO US.

             I AM EXTREMELY PASSIONATE ABOUT MY PROFESSIONAL WORK - IN THE LAST THIRTY YEARS OF WORK  EXPERIENCE, I HAVE WORKED  WITH MULTIPLE TEAMS, BUILT SEVERAL TEAMS, CONDUCTED A NUMBER OF TRAINING PROGRAMMES, FORMED STRATEGIES, AND SUCCEEDED TOGETHER WITH THEM.

           WHAT FOR OTHERS IS A PART OF THEIR WORK IS A MATTER OF ACTUALLY DEVELOPING AND NUTURING FRIENDSHIPS FOR ME. IN THIS WAY, I HAVE DEVELOPED FRIENDSHIPS FOR ME. IN THIS WAY. I HAVE DEVELOPED FRIENDSHIPS WITH THE HUNDREDS OF PROFESSIONALS WITH WHOM. I HAVE WORKED IN THE LAST THIRTY YEARS. WITH EVERY INDIVIDUAL I MEET, WE INSTANTLY CONNECT, RESPECT EACH OTHER FOR WHO WE ARE, AND FORM A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP THAT HELPS US LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

             IF YOU LOVE SHARING WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATIONS, I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE SURROUDED BY PLENTY OF FRIENDS, AND IT WILL ENSURE THAT EXTRA DOSE OF ENZYMES TO BOOST YOUR HAPPINESS AND FEELING OF SATISFACTION.  GO FOR IT - JUST SELFLESSLY SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FRIEND, LEND YOUR EARS TO YOUR FRIEND WITHOUT PROVIDING YOUR "EXPERT" ADVICE, ENCOURAGE THEM IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING, AND SECRETLY PRAY FOR THEM. YOU ARE OPERATING UNDER A UNIVERSAL LAW, AND YOUR GOOD DEEDS WILL DEFINITELY RETURN TO YOU IN PLENTY.

GAYATRI MANTRA STEP SIXTEEN AND SEVENTEEN

                                          STEP SIXTEEN AND SEVENTEEN

                                                                       👀👀👀👀👀

            THIS IS THE ONE STEP THAT'S PERFORMED ONLY ON THE FIRST DAY AND IS NOT REPEATED ON ANY OTHER DAY THROUGHOUT YOUR SADHANA. NOW, WE TAKE A SANKALPA, A VOW. WHEN YOU TAKE A SANKALPA, YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT WITH THE UNIVERSE THAT YOU ARE UNDERTAKING A CERTAIN PRACTICE WITH A PARTICULAR INTENTION. THIS IS DONE ONLY ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE PURUSHCHARANA.

              WHEN YOU TAKE A VOW AND FULFILL IT, IT BOOTS YOUR WILLPOWER. TO TAKE A SANKALPA, JUST POUR A LITTLE WATER FROM YOUR VESSEL INTO YOUR RIGHT PALM.IF YOU HAVE A FLOWER, PUT THE FLOWER WITH IT, A BIT OF RICE IF YOU HAVE IT - IF YOU DON'T HAVE RICE, NO PROBLEM. WITH YOUR UTMOST SENTIMENT, SAY TO THE DIVINE. I SUCH-AND-SUCH PERSON (IF YOUR GURU HAS GIVEN YOU A NAME, THIS IS THE MOMENT TO USE THAT IS THE MOMENT TO USE THAT NAME, BECAUSE THAT WILL IDENTIFY YOU WITH THE LINEAGE TO WHICH YOU BELONG), AM TAKING A VOW OF CHANTING"X" NUMBER OF MANTRAS OVER THE NEXT "N" NUMBER OF DAYS. I'M DOING THIS FOR THE GRACE OF VEDMATA GAYATRI".

              OR, IF YOU HAVE TAKEN A SANKALPA OF CHANTING LET'S SAY, ONE HOUR EVERY DAY OR 50 MINUTES EVERY DAY, THEN YOU WILL SAY, "I, SO-AND-SO, WILL CHANT THE GAYATRI MANTRA FOR "X" MINUTES/HOURS EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT "N" NUMBER OF DAYS. I'M  DOING THIS FOR THE GRACE OF VEDMATA GAYATRI"

             YOUR SANKALPA MAY BE THAT, "I WILL CHANT THE MANTRA OF VEDMATA GAYATRI OF THE GAYATRI MANTRA "X" NUMBER OF TIMES, OVER THE NEXT "Y" NUMBER OF DAYS. AND I AM DOING DO BECAUSE I WANT "Z". THE BST THING TO SAY IS "I AM DOING SO FOR DEVI'S GRACE, BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING , YOU SHOULD ACCUMULATE THE ENERGY OF THE MANTRA. DON'T SAY, "I AM DOING IT BECAUSE I WANT TO WIN THE LOTTO", OR WHATEVER. ACCUMULATE THE ENERGY, BECAUSE ONCE YOU HAVE ENOUGH, YOU CAN DO KAMYA PRAYAGA-YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE IT FOR APPLICATION.

                  WHEN YOU VIOLATE YOUR SANKALPA, YOUR SADHANA IS COMPROMISED AND YOU MUST EITHER START FROM THE BEGINNING OR SEEK A REMEDIAL MEASURE FROM YOUR GURU. FOR EXAMPLE, IF IN YOUR SANKALPA, YOU STATE THAT YOU WILL CHANT 4000 MANTRAS EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 40 DAYS BUT YOU MISS ONE DAY OR CHANT LESS ONE DAY, THIS COMPROMISES YOUR SADHANA. YOU MUST RESET THE COUNTER AND START ALL OVER AGAIN.

                TO DO THE SANKALPA, SIMPLY TAKE WATER IN YOUR RIGHT PALM, PUT A FEW GRAINS OF RICE AND A FLOWER AND SAY IT IN ANY LANGUAGE YOU KNOW.M FILL IN THE BLANKS:

             I......... (YOUR FULL NAME).... BORN IN...... (STATE YOUR GOTRA. IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR GOTRA, SIMPLY SAY NARAYANA GOTRA FOR EVERYONE IS CHILD OF THE DIVINE).... ON.... (STATE YOUR DATE OF BIRTH) HEREBY VOW TO DO A PURUSHCHARANA OF ..... (THE NAME OF YOUR MANTRA LIKE GAYATRI, SRI SUKTAM, GURU MANTRA, ETC, )..... OVER THE NEXT....(STATE THE NUMBER OF DAYS YOU'LL BE CHANTING THE MANTRA OVER, FOR EXAMPLE, 40,90,100,300, AND SO ON) DAYS .... SO I MAY BECOME A WORTHY RECIPENT OF YOUR GRACE AND ATTAIN THE DESIRED OUTCOME.

           AFTER YOU HAVE MADE YOUR SANKALPA, KEEP THE WATER THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR PALM, WITH YOUR FLOWER AND RICE, IN A SMALL PLATE IN FRONT OF YOU AND ON THAT VERY DAY POUR IT ON THE BASE OF ANY TREE OR PLAT. AS I HAVE WRITTEN, AVOID CACTUS- ALL OTHER PLANTS ARE FINE.    

                                                                  STEP SEVENTEEN

                       MANTRA SHVASA IS VERY SIMPLE, YOU BREATHE IN WHILE YOU ARE CHANTING YOUR MANTRA,M AND YOU BREATHE OUT WHIL CHANTING, ON THE FIRST DAY, I RECOMMAND DOING 21 TIMES IN THE CASE OF DOING THE SMALL INVOCATION, I ROUND IF YOU ARE DOING THE STANDARD INVOCATION, 3 ROUNDS IF YOU HAPPEN TO PERFORM THE EXTRAORDINARY INVOCATION AND 7 ROUNDS IN CASE YOU ARE DOING THE GRAND INVOCATION. REMEMBER THAT ONE ROUND IS 108 TIMES. THAT'S NOT CHANTING THREE TIMES - IT'S THESE ROUNDS.

                 ON ALL SUBSEQUENT DAYS, DO ONLY 3,11,21,OR 31 TIMES FOR SMALL, STANDARD, EXTRAORDINARY AND GRAND INVOCATIONS RESPECTIVELY.

                 WHILE INHALTING, YOU OBVIOUSLY CANNOT CHANT ALOUD. WHEN YOU ARE INHALING, YOU CAN DO ONE CHANT AND WHILE EXHALING YOU CAN CHANT AS WELL. THIS IS CALLED MANTRA SHVASA. THE COUNTING MENTINED IN THE EARLIER PARAGRAPH IS NOT P SHVASA BUT PER CHANT. SO 7 TIMES MEANS 4 EXHALATIONS AND 3 INHALATIONS. ONE EXHALATION IS EXTRA BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS START WITH EXHALATION.

               IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO AN ENTIRE SADHANA ON JUST MANTRA SHVASA. IF YOU ARE USED TO MANTRA SHVASA, OR LET'S SAY, ALL YOU WISH TO DO IN YOUR SADHANA IS MANTRA SHVASA, THEN YOU TAKE A VOW LIKE, FOR THE NEXT "X" DAYS I AM GOING TO DO MANTRA SHVASA, "Y" ROUNDS EVERY DAY". YOU COULD BE PRACTICING IT WHILE WALKING, COMMUTING OR DOING ANY OTHER ACTIVITY WHERE YOU MAY DO IT WITH MINDFULNESS. MANTRA SHVASA IS A VERY EFFECTIVE PRACTICE, BECAUSE YOU ARE CHANTING YOUR MANTRA IN YOUR DAILY LIFE. THE MORE YOU CHANT WITH FEELING, THE MORE ENERGY YOU ACCUMULATE. BEAR IN MIND THAT IT'S LIKE DOING SHIFT WORK, THE MORE SHIFTS YOU WORK, THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE. IT WILL TIRE  YOU OUT, BUT YOU WILL GET USED TO MANTRA SHVASA AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE ENERGY.

THE WORLD'S POWERFUL THINGS IS - ACTION

                                                       EFFICIENT ACTION

                                                                   👀👀👀👀

               YOU  MUST USE YOUR THOUGHT AS DIRECTED IN PREVIOUS CHAPTERS, AND BEGIN TO DO WHAT YOU CAN DO WHERE YOU ARE, AND YOU MUST DO ALL THAT YOU CAN DO WHERE YOU ARE.

              YOU CAN ADVANCE ONLY BY BEING LARGER THAN YOUR PRESENT PLACE, AND YOU CANNOT BE LARGER THAN YOUR PRESENT IF YOU LEAVE UNDONE ANY OF THE WORK PERTAINING TO THAT PLACE.

          THE WORLD IS ADVANCED ONLY BY THOSE WHO MORE THAN FILL THEIR PRESENT PLACES.

          IF WE CANNOT FILL OUR PRESENT PLACE, EVERYTHING WILL GO BACKWARDS. THOSE WHO DO NOT QUITE FILL THEIR PRESENT PLACES ARE DEAD WEIGHT UPON SOCIETY, GOVERNMENT, COMMERCE, AND INDUSTRY, OTHERS MUST CARRY THEM ALONG AT A GREAT EXPENSE. THE PROGRESS OF THE WORLD IS RETARDED ONLY BY THOSE WHO DO NOT FILL THE PLACES THEY ARE HOLDING. THEY BELONG TO A FORMER AGE AND A LOWER STAGE OR PLANE OF LIFE, AND THEIR TENDENCY IS TOWARD DEGENERATION. NO SOCIETY COULD ADVANCE IF EACH OF US WAS SMALLER THAN OUR PLACE. THE LAW OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL EVOLUTION GUEDES SOCIAL EVOLUTION. IN THE ANIMAL WORLD, EVOLUTION IS CAUSED BY EXCESS OF LIFE.

                 WHEN AN ORGANISM HAS MORE LIFE THAN CAN BE EXPRESSED IN THE FUNCTIONS OF ITS OWN PLANE, IT DEVELOPS THE ORGANS OF A HIGHER PLANE, AND NEW SPECIES IS ORIGINATED.

               THERE NEVER WOULD HAVE NEW SPECIES HAD THERE NOT BEEN ORGANISMS THAT MORE THAN FILLED THEIR PLACES. THE LAW IS EXACTLY THE SAME FOR YOU, YOUR GETTING RICH DEPENDS UPON YOUR APPLYING THIS PRINCIPLE TO YOUR OWN AFFAIRS.

             EVERY DAY IS EITHER THAT MAY BE DONE TODYA, AND YOU DO NOT DO IT, YOU HAVE FAILED IN SO FAR AS THAT THING IS CONCERNED, AND THE CONSEQUENCES MAY BE MORE DISASTROUS THAN YOU IMAGINE.

             YOU CANNOT FORESEE THE RESULTS OF EVEN THE MOST TRIVIAL ACT, YOU DO NOT KNOW THE WORKINGS OF ALL THE FORCES THAT HAVE BEEN SET MOVING IN YOUR BEHALF. MUCH MAY BE DEPENDING ON YOUR DOIN SOME SIMPLE ACT, IT MAY BE THE VERY THING THAT IS TO OPEN THE DOOR OF OPPORTUNITY TO VERY GREAT POSSIBILITIES. YOU CAN NEVER KNOW ALL THE COMBINATION THAT SUPREME INTELLIGENCE IS MAKING FOR YOU IN THE WORLD OF THINGS AND OF HUMAN AFFAIRS. YOUR NEGLECT OF FAILURE TO DO SOME SMALL THING MAY CAUSE A LONG DELAY IN GETTING WHAT YOU WANT. 

              DO, EVERY DAY ALL THAT CAN BE DONE THAT DAY.

               THERE IS, HOWEVER, A LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION OF THE ABOVE THAT YOU MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.

              YOU ARE NOT TO OVERWORK OR TO RUSH BLINDLY INTO YOUR BUSINESS IN THE EFFORT TO DO THE GREATEST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF THINGS IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME.

           YOU ARE NOT TO TRY TO DO TOMORROW'S WORK TODAY, NOR TO DO A WEEK'S WORK IN A DAY.

         IT IS REALLY NOT THE NUMBER OF THINGS YOU DO, BUT THE EFFICIENCY OF EACH SEPARATE ACTION THAT COUNTS.

          EVERY ACT IS, IN ITSELF, EITHER A SUCCESS OR A FAILURE. EVERY ACT IS IN ITSELF, EITHER EFFECTIVE OR INEFFICIENT.

          EVERY INEFFICIENT ACT IS A FAILURE, AND IF YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE IN DOING INEFFICIENT ACTS, YOUR WHOLE LIFE WILL BE A FAILURE.

          THE MORE THINGS YOU DO, THE WORSE FOR YOU IF ALL YOUR ACTS ARE INEFFICIENT ONES.

           ON THE OTHER HAND, EVERY EFFICIENT ACT IS A SUCCESS IN ITSELF, AND IF EVERY ACT OF YOUR LIFE IS AN EFFICIENT ONE, YOUR WHOLE LIFE MUST BE A SUCCESS.

         

             THE CAUSE OF FAILURE IS DOING TOO MANY THINGS IN AN ENEFFICIENT MANNER, AND NOT DOING ENOUGH THINGS IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER.

             YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS A SELF-EVIDENT PROPOSITION THAT IF YOU DO NOT DO ANY ENEFFICIENT ACTS, AND IF YOU DO A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF EFFICIENT ACTS, YOU WILL BECOME RICH. IF, NOW, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO MAKE EACH ACT AN EFFICIENT ONE, YOU SEE AGAIN THAT THE GETTING OF RICHES IS REDUCED TO AN EXACT SCIENCE, LIKE MATHEMATICS.

             THE MATTER TURNS, THEN, ON THE QUESTIONS WHETHER YOU CAN MAKE EACH SEPERATE ACT A SUCCESS IN ITSELF. AND THIS YOU CAN CERTAINLY DO.

           YOU CAN MAKE EACH ACT A SUCCESS, BECAUSE GOD'S POWER IS WORKING WITH YOU, AND GOD'S POWER CANNOT FAIL.

          GOD'S POWER IS YOUR SERVICE, AND TO MAKE EACH ACT EFFICIENT YOU HAVE ONLY TO PUT THAT POWER INTO IT.

          EVERY ACTION IS EITHER STRONG OR WEAK, AND WHEN EVERYONE IS STRONG, YOU ARE ACTING IN THE CERTAIN WAY, WHICH WILL MAKE YOU RICH.

        EVERY ACT CAN BE MADE STRONG AND EFFICIENT BY HOLDING YOUR VISION WHILE YOU ARE DOING IT, AND PUTTING THE WHOLE POWER OF YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE INTO IT.

           IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT THE PEOPLE FAIL WHO SEPERATE MENTAL POWER FROM PERSONAL ACTION. THEY USE THE POWER OF MIND IN ONE PLACE AND AT ONE TIME, AND THEY ACT IN ANOTHER PLACE AND AT ANOTHER TIME. SO THEIR ACT ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN THEMSELVES. TOO MANY OF THEM ARE INEFFICIENT. BUT IF GOD'S POWER GOES INTO EVERY ACT, NO MATTER HOW COMMONPLACE, EVERY ACT WILL BE A SUCCESS IN ITSELF. AS IN THE NATURE OF THINGS EVERY SUCCESS OPENS THE WAY OF OTHER SUCCESSES, YOUR PROGRESS TOWARD WHAT YOU WANT, AND THE PROGRESS OF WHAT YOU WANT TOWARD YOU, WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY RAPID.

           REMEMBER THAT SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN ITS RESULTS. SINCE THE DEISIRE FOR MORE LIFE IS INHERENT IN ALL THINGS WHEN YOU BEGIN TO MOVE TOWARD LARGER LIFE MORE THINGS ATTACH THEMSELVES TO YOU, AND THE INFLUENCE OF YOUR DESIRE IS MULTIPLIED.

         DO, EVERY DAY, ALL THAT YOU CAN DO THAT DAY, AND DO EACH ACT IN AN EFFICENT MANNER.

         YOU MUST HOLD YOUR VISION WHILE YOU ARE DOING EACH ACT, HOWEVER TRIVIAL OR COMMONPLACE. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS NECESSARY AT ALL TIMES TO SEE THE VISION DISTINCTLY TO ITS SMALLEST DETAILS. IT SHOULD BE THE WORK OF YOUR LEISURE HOURS TO USE YOUR IMAGINATION ON THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISION,AND TO CONTEMPLATE THEM UNTIL THEY ARE FIRMLY FIXED UPON MEMORY. IF YOU WISH SPEEDY RESULTS, SPEND PRACTICALLY ALL YOUR SPARE TIME IN THIS PRACTICE.

           BY CONTINUOUS CONTEMPLATION YOU WILL GET THE PICTURE OF WHAT YOU WANT, EVEN TO THE SMALLEST DETAILS. IT WILL BE SO FIRMLY FIXED UPON YOUR MIND, AND SO COMPLETELY TRANSFERRED TO THE MIND OF DIVINE SUBSTANCES, THAT IN YOUR WORKING HOURS YOU NEED ONLY TO MENTALLY REFER TO THE PICTURE TO STIMULAT YOUR FAITH AND PURPOSE, AND CAUSE YOUR BEST EFFORT TO BE PUT FORTH. CONTEMPLATE YOUR PICTURE IN YOUR LEISURE HOURS UNTIL YOUR SUBCONSCIOUSNESS IS SO FULL OF IS THAT YOU CAN GRASP IT INSTANLY. YOU WILL BECOME SO ENTHUSED WITH ITS BRIGHT PROMISES THAT THE MERE THOUGHT OF IT WILL CAL; FORTH THE STRONGEST ENERGIES OF YOUR WHOLE BEING.

                    LET US AGAIN REPEAT OUR SYLLABUS, AND BY SLIGHTLY CHANGING THE CLOSING STATEMENTS BRING IT TO THE POINT WE HAVE NOW REACHED.

        

                  ❤   THERE IS A THINKING STUFF FROM WHICH ALL THINGS ARE MADE, AND WHICH, IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE, PERMEATES, PENETRATES, AND FILLS THE INTERSPACES OF THE UNIVERSE.

                  ❤     A THOUGHT, IN THIS SUBTANCE, PRODUCES THE THING THAT IS IMAGEED BY THE THOUGHT.

                  ❤     WE CAN FORM THINGS IN OUR THOUGHT, AND, BY IMPRESSING OUR THOUGHT UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE, CAN CAUSE THE THING WE THINK ABOUT TO BE CREATED.

                   ❤     IN ORDER TO DO THIS, WE MUST PASS FROM THE COMPETITIVE TO THE CREATIVE MIND, WE MUST FORM A CLEAR MENTAL PICTURE OF THE THINGS WE WANT, AND DO, WITH FAITH AND PURPOSE , ALL THAT CAN BE DONE EACH DAY, DOING EACH SEPARATE THING IN AN EFFICIENT MANNER.

THE GREAT IDEAS

                                                             GREATNESS

               TOO MANY OF US THINK OF GREAT PEOPLE NOT AS THOSE WHO SERVE, BUT THOSE WHO SUCCEED IN GETTING OTHERS TO SERVE THEM. THEY ATTAIN POSITIONS WHERE THEY CAN COMMAND OTHERS, TO EVERCISE POWER OVER THEM, MAKING THEM OBEY THEIR WILL. THE EVERCISE OF DOMINION OVER OTHER PEOPLE, TO MOST PERSONS, IS A GREAT THING. NOTHING SEEMS TO BE SWEETER TO THE SELFISH SOUL THAN THIS. YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND EVERY SELFISH AND UNDEVELOPED PERSON TRYING TO DOMINEER OVER OTHERS AND TO EXERCISE CONTROL OVER OTHERS. FROM EARLIEST TIMES, PEOPLE BEGAN TO ENSLAVE ONE ANOTHER. FOR AGES THE STRUGGLE IN WAR, DIPLOMACY, POLITICS, AND GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN AIMED AT THE SECURING OF CONTROL OVER OTHERS. KINGS AND PRINCES HAVE DRENCHED THE SOIL OF THE EARTH IN BLOOD AND TEARS IN THE EFFORT TO EXTEND THEIR DOMINIONS AND THEIR POWER TO RULE MORE PEOPLE.

              THE STRUGGLE OF THE BUSINESS WORLD TODAY IS THE SAME AS THAT ON THE BATTLEFIELDS OF EUROPE CENTURIES AGO SO FAR AS THE RULING PRINCIPLE IS CONCERNED. IF IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY MEN LIKE ROCKEFELLER AND CARNEGIE KEPT SEEKING MORE MONEY AND MADE THEMSELVES SLAVES TO THE BUSINESS STRUGGLE WHEN THEY ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN THEY COULD POSSIBLY USE. AS ONE PANTS, SEVENTY - FIVE THOUSAND VESTS, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND COATS, AND ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND NECKTIES, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF HIM IF HE AROSE IN THE MORNING BEFORE LIGHT AND WORKED UNTIL AFTER IT WAS DARK EVERY DAY, RAIN OR SHINE, IN ALL KINDS OF WHETHER, MERELY TO GET ANOTHER NECKTIE?

               BUT THERE IS MORE TO IT TAHN JUST OBTAINING MORE POSSESIONS. THE POSSESSION OF NECKTIES GIVES A PERSON NO POWER OVER OTHERS WHILE THE POSSESSION OF DOLLARS DOES. ROCKEFELLER, CARNEGIE AND THEIR KING WERE NOT AFTER DOLLARS BUT POWER. IT IS THE STRUGGLE FOR THE HIGH PLACE. IT DEVELOP ABLE PEOPLE, CUNNING PEOPLE, RESOURCEFUL PEOPLE, BUT NOT GREAT PEOPLE.

           I WANT YOU TO CONTRAST THESE TWO IDEAS OF GREATNESS SHARPLY IN YOUR MINDS. LET ME STAND BEFORE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN AUDIENCE AND ASK THE NAKE OF THE GREATEST AMERICAN AND THE MAJORITY WILL THINK OF ABRAHIM LINCOLN. IS THIS NOT BECAUSE IN LINCOLN ABOVE ALL THE OTHER MEN WHO HAVE SERVED US IN PUBLIC LIFE WE RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE? NOT SERVILITY, BUT SERVICE. LINCOLN WAS A GREAT MAN BECAUSE HE KNEW HOW TO BE A GREAT SERVANT. NAPOLEAN, ABLE COLD, SELFISH, SEEKING THE HIGH PLACES, WAS A BRILLIANT MAN. LINCOLN WAS GREAT, NAPOLEAN WAS NOT.

THE VERY MOMENT YOU BEGIN TO ADVANCE AND ARE RECOGNIZED AS ONE WHO IS DOING THINGS IN A GREAT WAY YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN DANGER. THE TEMPTATION TO PATRONIZE, ADVISE, OR TAKEN UPON YOURSELF THE DIRECTION OF OTHERS PEOPLE'S AFFAIRS IS SOMETIME ALMOST IRRESISTIBLE. AVOIND, HOWEVER, THE OPPOSITE DANGER OF FALLING INTO SERVILITY, OR A COMPLETELY THROWING YOURSELF AWAY IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS. TO DO THIS HAS BEEN THE IDEAL OF A GREAT MANY PEOPLE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BELITTLD THEMSELVES AND GIVEN UP ALL ELSE TO GO ABOUT THIS DOING GOOD - PRACTICING AN ALTRUISM THAT IS REALLY AS MORBID AND AS FAR FROM GREAT AS THE RANKEST SELFISHNESS. THE FINER INSTICTS WHICH RESPOND TO THE CRY OF TROUBLE OR DESTRESS ARE NOT BY ANY MEANS ALL OF YOU, THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST PART OF YOU. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS YOU MUST DO BESIDES HELPING THE UNFORTUNATE, ALTHOUGH IT IS TRUE THAT A LARGE PART OF THE LIFE AND ACTIVITIES. AS YOU BEGIN TO ADVANCE THEY WILL COME TO YOU. DO NOT TURN THEM AWAY. BUT DO NOT MAKE THE FATAL ERROR OF SUPPOSING THAT THE LIFE OF COMPLETE SELF- ABNEGATION IS THE WAY OF GREATNESS.

TO MAKE ANOTHER POINT  HERE, LET ME REFER TO THE WRITINGS OF THE 18TH CENTURY SWEDISH PHILOSOPHER, EMMANUEL SWEDENBORG. HE DIVIDED ALL PEOPLE INTO TWO GROUPS. THOSE WHO LIVE IN PURE LOVE, AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN WHAT HE CALLED THE LOVE OF RULING FOR THE LOVE OF SELF. SWEDENBORG SAW THIS SELFISH  LOVE OF POWER AS THE CAUSE OF ALL SIN. IT WAS THE ONLY EVIL DESIRE OF THE HUMAN HEART FROM WHICH ALL OTHER EVIL DESIRES SPRANG. HE SAW IT AS THE RULING PRINCIPLE IN THE HELLS WHERE THE SPIRITS OF LOST PEOPLE SCHEMED AND STRUGGLED FOR DOMINION OVER ONE ANOTHER, AND TO ENSLAVE ONE ANOTHER, JUST AS THEY HAD DONE UPON THE EARTH.

OVER AGAINST THIS HE PLACES PURE LOVE. HE DOES NOT SAY LOVE OF GOD OR LOVE OF OTHERS, BUT MERELY LOVE. NEARLY ALL RELIGIONISTS MAKE MORE OF LOVE AND SERVICE OF GOD THAN THEY DO OF LOVE AND SERVICE TO HUMANKIND. BUT IT IS A FACT THAT LOVE OF GOD IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO SAVE A PERSON FROM THE LUST FOR POWER. SOME OF THE MOST ARDENT LOVERS OF THE DEITY HAVE BEEN THE WORST OF TYRANTS. LOVERS OF GOD ARE OFTEN TUYRANTS, AND LOVERS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE OFTEN MEDDLESOME AND OFFICIOUS.

                 TWO THINGS ARE NECESSARY, FIRST, THE MAKIN OF THE THOUGHT FORM, AND SECOND , THE ACTUAL APPROPRIATION TO YOURSELF OF ALL THAT GOES INTO AND AROUND THE THOUGHT-FORM. WHEN YOU HAVE MADE YOUR THOUGHT-FORM. YOU ARE ALREADY INTERNALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO BE. NEXT YOU MUST BECOME EXREMELY WHAT YOU WANT TO BE. YOU ARE ALREADY GREAT WITHIN, BUT YOU ARE NOT YET ACTUALLY DOING THE GREAT THINGS. YOU CANNOT BE BEFORE THE WORLD THE GREAT ACTOR, OR LAWYER, OR MUSICIAN, OR PERSONALITY YOU KNOW YOURSELF TO BE, NO ONE WILL ENTRUST GREAT THINGS TO YOU AS YET FOR YOU HAVE NOT MADE YOURSELF KNOWN. BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS BEGIN TO DO SMALL THINGS IN A GREAT WAY.

                  HERE LIES CAN ALWAYS BEGIN TO DO SMALL THINGS IN A GREAT WAY. YOUR OWN HOME, IN YOUR STORE OR OFFICE, ON THE STREET, EVERYWHERE, YOU CAN BEGIN TO MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN  AS GREAT , AND YOU CAN DO THIS BY DOING EVERYTHING YOU DO IN A GREAT WAY. YOU MUST PUT THE WHOLE POWER OF YOUR GREAT SOULD INTO EVERY ACT, HOWEVER SMALL AND COMMONPLACE, AND SO REVEAL TO YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS WHAT YOU REALLY ARE. DO NOT BRAG OR BOAST OF YOURSELF, DO NOT GO ABOUT TELLING PEOPLE WHAT A GREAT PERSONAGE YOU ARE, SIMPLY LIVE A GREAT WAY. NO ONE WILL BELIEVE YOU IF YOU TELL HIM YOU ARE A GREAT MAN OR WOMAN, BUT NO ONE CAN DOUBT YOUR GREATNESS IF YOU SHOW IT IN YOUR ACTION, IN YOUR DOMESTIC CIRCLE BE SO JUST, SO GENEROUS, SO COURTEOUS, ADN KINDLY THAT YOUR FAMILY , YOUR WIFE, HUSBAND, CHILDREN, BROTHERS, AND SISTERS SHALL KNOW THAT YOU ARE A GREAT AND NOBLE SOUL. IN ALL YOUR RELATIONS WITH OTHERS BE GREAT, JUST, GENEROUS, COURTEOUS, AND KINDLY. THE GREAT ARE NEVER OTHERWISE.

THE POVERTY

                                                           GOD PURPOSE

                                                        👀👀👀👀👀👀

             YOU MUST GET RID OF THE LAST VESTIGE OF THE OLD IDEA THAT IT IS GOD'S WILL THAT YOU SHOULD BE POOR, OR IT IS GOD'S PURPOSE TO KEEP YOU IN POVERTY.

           THE INTELLIGENT SUBSTANCE WHICH IS GOD, AND WHICH IS OMNIPRESENT AND LIVES IN YOU, IS A CONSCIOUSLY LIVING SUBSTANCE. BEING A CONSCIOUSLY LIVING SUBSTANCE, IT MUST HAVE THE NATURE AND INHERENT DESIRE OF EVERY LIVING INTELLIGENCE FOR INCREAE OF LIFE. EVERY LIVING THING MUST CONTINUALLLY SEEK FOR THE ENLARGEMENT OF ITS LIFE, BECAUSE LIFE, IN THE MERE ACT OF LIVING, MUST INCREASE ITSELF.

            A SEED, DROPPED INTO THE GROUND, SPRINGS INTO ACTIVITY, AND IN THE ACT OF LIVING PRODUCES A HUNDRED MORE SEEDS, LIFE, BY LIVING, MULTIPLES ITSELF. IT IS FOREVER BECOMING MORE. IT MSUT DO SO, IF IT CONTINUES TO BE AT ALL.

           INTELLIGENCE IN UNDER THIS SAME NECESSITY FOR CONTINUOUS INCREASE. EVERY THOUGHT, CONSCIOUSNESS IS CONTINUALLY EXPANDING,. EVERY FACT WE LEARN LEADS US TO THE LEARNING OF ANOTHER FACT, KNOWLEDGE IS CONTINUALLY INCREASING. EVERY TALENT WE CULTIVATE BRINGS TO THE MIND THE DESIRE TO CULTIVATE ANOTHER TALENT, WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE URGE OF LIFE, SEEKING EXPRESSION, WHICHEVER DRIVES US ON TO KNOW MORE, TO DO MORE, AND  TO BE MORE.

          IN ORDER TO KNOW MORE, DO MORE, AND BE MORE WE MUST HAVE MORE, WE MUST HAVE THINGS TO USE, FOR WE LEARN, AND DO, AND BECOME, ONLY BY USING THINGS. WE MUST GET RICH, SO THAT WE CAN LIVE MORE.

       THE DESIRE FOR RICHES IS SIMPLY THE CAPACITY FOR LARGER LIFE SEEKING FULFILLMENT , EVERY DESIRE IS THE EFFORT OF AN  UNEXPRESSED POSSIBILITY TO COME INTO ACTION. IT IS POWER SEEKING TO MANIFEST THAT CAUSES DESIRE. THAT WHICH MAKES YOU WANT MORE MONEY IS THE SAME A THAT WHICH MAKES THE PLANT GROW, IT IS LIFE, SEEKING FULLER EXPRESSION.

            THE ONE LIVING SUBSTANCE MUST BE SUBJECT TO THIS INHERENT LAW OF ALL LIFE, IT IS PERMEATED WITH THE DESIRE TO LIVE MORE, THAT IS WHY IT IS UNDER THE NECESSITY OF CREATING THINGS.

             THE ONE SUBSTANCE DESIRES TO LIVE MORE IN YOU, HENCE IT WANTS YOU TO HAVE ALL THE THING YOU CAN USE.

               IT IS THE DESIRE OF GOD THAT YOU SHOULD GET RICH.M HE WANTS YOU TO GET RICH BECAUSE HE CAN EXPRESS HIMSELF BETTER THROUGH YOU IF YOU HAVE PLENTY OF THINGS TO USE IN GIVING HIM EXPRESSION. GOD CAN LIVE MORE IN YOU IF YOU HAVE UNLIMITED COMMAND OF THE MEANS OF LIFE.

              THE UNIVERSE DESIRES YOU TO HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO HAVE. NATURE IS FRIENDLY TO YOUR PLANS.

               EVERYTHING IS NATURALLY FOR  YOU.

               MAKE UP YOUR MIND THAT THIS IS TRUE.

      

                  IT IS ESSENTIAL, HOWEVER THAT YOUR PURPOSE SHOLD HARMONIZE WITH THE PURPOSE THAT IS GOD'S.

               YOU MUST WANT REAL LIFE, NOT MERE PLEASURE OF SENSUAL GRATIFICATION. LIFE IS THE PERFORMANCE OF FUNCTION, PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SPIRITUAL, OF WHICH WE ARE CAPABLE, WITHOUT EXCESS IN ANY.

               YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET RICH IN ORDER TO LIVE SWINISHLY, FOR THE GRATIFICATION OF ANIMALS DESIRES, THAT IS NOT LIFE, BUT THE PERFORMANCE OF EVERY PHYSICAL FUNCTION IS A PART OF LIFE, AND NO ONE LIVES COMPLETELY WHO DENIES THE IMPULSES OF THE BODY A NORMAL AND HEALTHFUL EXPRESSION.

             YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET RICH SOLELY TO ENJOY MENTAL PLEASURES, TO GET KNOWLEDGE TO GRATIFY AMBITION TO OUTSHINE OTHERS, TO BE FAMOUS. ALL THESE ARE A LEGITIMATE PART OF LIFE, BUT THOSE WHO LIVE FOR THE PLEASURE OF THE INTELLECT ALONE WILL ONLY HAVE A PARTIAL LIFE, AND WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED WITH THEIR LOT.

             YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET RICH SOLERY FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS, TO LOSE YOURSELF FOR THE SALVATION OF MANKING, TO EXPERIENCE THE JOYS OF PHILANTHROPY AND SACRIFICE. THE JOYS OF THE SOUL ARE ONLY PART OF LIFE. AND THEY ARE NO BETTER OR NOBLER THAN ANY OTHER PART.

             YOU WANT TO GET RICH IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY EAT, DRINK, AND BE MARRY WHEN IT IS TIME TO DO THESE THINGS. YOU WANT TO GET RICH SO YOU MAY SURROUND YOURSELF WITH BEATIFUL THINGS, SEE DISTANT LANDS, FEED YOUR MIND, AND DEVELOP YOUR INTELLECT. YOU WANT TO GET RICH IN ORDER THAT YOU MAY LOVE OTHERS AND DO KIND THINGS, AND BE ABLE TO PAY A GOOD PART IN HELPING THE WORLD TO FIND TRUTH.

              BUT REMEMBER THAT EXTREME ALTRUISM IS NO BETTER AND NO NOBLER THAN EXTREME SELFISHNESS, BOTH ARE MISTAKES.

            GET RID OF THE IDEA THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR OTHERS, AND THAT YOU CAN SECURE HIS FAVOR BY DOING SO, GOD REQUIRES NOTHING OF THE KIND.

            WHAT GOD WANTS IS THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF YOURSELF, FOR YOURSELF. YOU CAN HELP OTHERS MORE BY MAKING THE MOST OF YOURSELF THAN IN ANY OTHER WAY.

          

YOU CAN MAKE THE MOST OF YOURSELF ONLY BY GETTING RICH, SO IT IS RIGHT AND PRAISEWORTHY THAT YOU SHOULD GIVE YOUR FIRST AND BEST THOUGHT OT THE WORK OF ACQUIRING WEALTH.

REMEMBER HOWEVER, THAT THE DESIRE OF SUBSTANCE IS FOR ALL, AND ITS MOVEMENTS MUST BE FOR MORE LIFE TO ALL. IT CANNOT BE MADE TO WORK FOR LESS LIFE TO ANY, BECAUSE IT IS EQUALITY IN ALL, SEEKING RICHES AND LIFE.

INTELLIGENT SUBSTANCE WILL MAKE THINGS FOR YOU, BUT IT WILL NOT TAKE THINGS AWAY FROM SOMEONE ELSE AND GIVE THEM TO YOU. 

YOU MUST GET RID OF THE THOUGHT OF COMPETITION. YOU ARE TO CREATE, NOT TO CAMPARE FOR WHAT IS ALREADY CREATED.

               YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM ANYONE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DRIVE SHARP BARGAINS.

              YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHEAT, OR TO TAKE ADVANTAGE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY YOUR WORKERS LESS THAN THEY DESERVE.

             YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COVER THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS, OR TO LOOK AT IT WITH WISHFUL EYES. YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU LIKE WITHOUT TAKING IT AWAY FROM OTHERS.

            YOU ARE TO BECOME A CREATOR, NOT A COMPETITOR. YOU ARE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IN SUCH A WAY THAT WHEN YOU GET IT EVERY OTHER PERSON WILL GAIN AS WELL.

            DO NOT BECOME GREEDY. SURE, GREEDY PEOPLE MAY BECOME MILLIONAIRES, BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS BE WRETCHED AND MEAN AND WILL EVEN CONSIDER THEMSELVES OUTWARDLY POOR SO LONG AS THERE IS A PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO IS RICHER THAN THEY ARE.  

            IF YOU WOULD REALIZE TRUE PROSPERITY, DO NOT SETTLE DOWN AS MANY HAVE DONE, INTO THE BELIEF THAT IF YOU DO RIGHT EVERYTHING WILL GO WRONG. DO NOT LET THE WORD "COMPETITION" SHAKE YOUR FAITH IN THE SUPREMACY OF RICHTEOUSNESS.

           TO CONSIDER ONE'S SELF BEFORE ALL OTHERS IS TO CRAMP AND WARP AND HINDER EVERY NOBLE AND DIVINE IMPULSE. LETYOUR SOUL EXPAND. LET YOUR HEART REACH OUT TO OTHERS IN LOVING AND GENEROUS WARMTH, AND GREAT AND LASTING WILL BE YOUR JOY, AND ALL PROSPERITY WILL COME TO YOU.

THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF GETTING RICH

                                                   EARN MORE MONEY

                                                                       ❤❤❤❤❤❤

                    THOUGHT IS THE ONLY POWER THAT CAN PRODUCE TANGIBLE RICHES FROM THE DIVINE SUBSTANCE. THE STUFF FROM WHICH ALL THINGS ARE MADE IS A SUBSTANCE THAT THINKS, AND A THOUGHT OF FORM IN THIS SUBSTANCE PRODUCES THE FORM.

               DIVINE SUBSTANCE MOVES ACCORDING TO ITS THOUGHTS, EVERY FORM AND PROCESS YOU SEE IN NATURE IS THE VISIBLE EXPRESSION OF A THOUGHT IN THIS SUBSTANCE. AS THE DIVINE STUFF THINKS OF A FORM, IT TAKES THAT FORM, AS IT THINKS OF MOTION, IT MAKES THAT MOTION. THAT IS THE WAY ALL THINGS WERE CREATED. WE LIVE IN A THOUGHT WORLD, WHICH IS PART OF A THOUGHT UNIVERSE. THE THOUGHT OF A MOVING UNIVERSE EXTENDED THOUGHOUT DIVINE SUBSTANCE, AND THE THINKING STUFF MOVING ACCORDING TO THAT THOUGHT,  TOOK THE FORM OF SYSTEM OF PLANETS, AND THE MAINTAINS THAT FORM. THINKING SUBSTANE TAKES THE FORM OF ITS THOUGHT, AND MOVES ACCORDING TO THE THOUGHT. HOLDING THE IDEA OF A CIRCLING SYSTEM OF SUNS AND WORLDS, IT TAKES THE FORM OF THESE BODIES, AND MOVES THEM AS IT THINKS. THINKING THE FORM OF A SLOW-GROWING OAK TREE, IT MOVES ACCORDINGLY, AND PRODUCES THE TREE, THOUGH CENTURIES MAY BE REQUIRED TO DO THE WORK. IN CREATING, THE DIVINE SEEMS TO MOVE ACCORDING TO THE LINES OF MOTION IT HAS ESTABLISHED. THE THOUGHT OF AN OAK TREE DOES NOT CAUSE THE INSTANT FORMATION OF A FULL-GROWN TREE, BUT IT DOES START IN MOTION THE FORCES THAT WILL PRODUCE THE TREE, ALONG ESTABLIHED LINES OF GROWTH.

                   EVERY THOUGHT OF FORM, HELD IN THINKING SUBSTANCE, CAUSES THE CREATION OF THE FORM, BUT ALWAYS, OF AT LEAST GENERALLY, ALONG LINES OF GROWTH AND ACTION ALREADY ESTABLISHED.

                THE THOUGHT OF A HOUSE OF A CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION, IF IT WERE IMPRESSED UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE, MIGHT NOT CAUSE THE INSTANT FORMATION, OF THE HOUSE, BUT IT WOULD CAUSE THE TURNING OF CREATIVE ENERGIES ALREADY WORKING IN TRADE AND COMMERCE INTO SUCH CHANNELS AS TO RESULT IN THE SPEEDY BUILDING OF THE HOUSE. AND IF THERE WERE NO EXISTING CHANNELS THROUGH WHICH THE CREATIVE ENERGY COULD WORK, THEN THE HOUSE WOULD BE FORMED DIRECTLY FROM PRIMAL SUBSTANCE, WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE SHOW PROCESSESS OF THE ORGANIC AND INORGANIC WORLD.
 

               

NO THOUGHT OF FORM CAN BE IMPRESSED UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE WITHOUT CAUSEING THE CREATION OF THE FORM.

THE HUMAN MIND IS A THINKING CENTER, AND CAN ORIGINATE THOUGHT. ALL THE FORMS THAR WE FASHION WITH OUR HANDS MUST FIRST EXIST IN OUR THOUGHT. WE CANNOT SHAPE A THING UNTIL WE HAVE THOUGHT THAT THING.

                AND SO FAR WE HAVE CONFINED OUR EFFORTS WHOLLY TO THE WORKS OF OUR HANDS. WE HAVE APPLIED MANUAL LABOR TO THE WORLD OF FORMS, SEEKING TO CHANGE OR MODIFY THOSE ALREADY EXISTING. WE HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF TRYING TO CAUSE THE CREATION OF NEW FORMS BY IMPRESSING OUR THOUGHTS UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE.

              WHEN WE HAVE A THOUGHT- FORM, WE TAKE MATERIAL FROM THE FORMS OF NATURE, AND MAKES AN IMAGE OF THE FORM WHICH IS IN OUR MIND. WE HAVE, SO FAR, MADE LITTLE OR NO EFFORT TO CO-OPERATE WITH DIVINE INTELLIGENCE, TO WORK WITH GOD. WE RESHAPE AND MODIFY EXISTING FORMS BY MANUAL LABOR, BUT WE HAVE GIVEN NO ATTENTION TO THE QUESTION WHETHER WE MAY NOT PRODUCE THINGS FROM DIVINE SUBSTANCE BY COMMUNICATING OUR THOUGHTS TO IT. WE PROPOSE TO PROVE THAT WE MAY DO SO, TO PROVE THAT ANY MAN OR WOMAN MAY DO SO, AND DO SHOW HOW. AS OUR FIRST STEP, WE MUST LAY DOWN THREE FUNDAMENTAL PROPORTIONS.

            FIRST, WE ASSERT THAT THERE IS ONE ORIGINAL DIVINE STUFF, OR SUBSTANCE, FROM WHICH ALL THINGS ARE MADE. ALL THE SEEMINGLY, MANY ELEMENTS ARE BUT DIFFERENT PRESENTATIONS OF ONE ELEMENT. ALL THE MANY FORMS FOUND IN ORGANIC NATURE ARE IN THINKING STUFF, A THOUGHT HELD IN IT PRODUCES THE FORM OF THE THOUGHT STUFF. A THOUGHT HELD IN IT PRODUCES SHAPES. THE HUMAN MIND IS A THINKING CENTER, CAPABLE OF ORIGINAL THOUGHT. IF WE CAN COMMUNICATE OUR THOUGHTS TO ORIGINAL THINKING SUBSTANCE, WE CAN CAUSE THE CREATION, OR FORMATION, OF THE THING WE THINK ABOUT. TO SUMMARIZE   THIS ----

                                                                      👀👀👀👀👀👀

                 ❤  THERE IS A THINKING STUFF FROM WHICH ALL THINS ARE MADE, AND WHICH IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE, PERMEATES, PENETRATES, AND FILLS THE INTERSPACES OF THE UNIVERSE.

                 ❤  A THOUGHT, IN THIS SUBSTANCE, PRODUCES THE THING THAT IS IMAGED BY THE THOUGHT.

                 ❤   WE CAN FORM THINGS IN OUR THOUGHT, AND BY IMPRESSING OUR THOUGHT UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE, CAN CAUSE THE THING WE THINK ABOUT TO BE CREATED.

              IT MAY BE ASKED IF THESE STATEMENTS CAN BE PROVED. WITHOUT GOING INTO DETAILS, THEY CAN BE PROVED BY BOTH LOGIC AND EXPERIENCE. 

            REASONING BACK FROM THE PHENOMENA OF FORM AND THOUGHT, THERE IS ONE ORIGINAL THINKING SUBSTANCE, AND REASONING FORWARD FROM THIS THINKING SUBSTANCE, WE DRIVER OUR POWER TO CAUSE THE FORMATION OF THE THING WE THINK ABOUT.

          IF ONE PERSON WHO WHO READS THIS BOOK GETS RICH BY DOING WHAT IT RECOMMENDS, THAT IS EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF TIS CALM, BUT IF EVERY PERSON WHO FOLLOWS THIS PROCESS GET RICH, THAT IS POSITIVE PROOF UNTIL SOMEONE GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS AND FAILS. THE THEORY IS TRUE UNTIL THE PROCESS FAILS, AND THIS PROCESS WILL NOT FAIL, FOR EVERY PERSON WHO DOES EXACTLY WHAT THIS BOOK RECOMMENDS WILL GET RICH.

          WE GET RICH BY DOING THINGS IN A CERTAIN WAY. AND IN ORDER TO DO SO, WE MUST BECOME ABLE TO THINK IN A CERTAIN WAY.

          YOUR WAY OF DOING THINGS IS THE DIRECT  RESULT OF THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS. 

           TO DO THINGS IN  A WAY YOU WANT TO DO THEM, YOU WILL HAVE TO ACQUIRE THE ABILITY TO THINK THE WAY YOU WANT TO THINK, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD GETTING RICH.

          TO THINK WHAT YOU WANT TO THINK IS TO THINK TRUTH, REGARDLESS OF APPEARANCE.

                      WE ALL HAVE THE NATURAL AND INHERENT POWER TO THINK WHAT WE WANT TO THINK, BUT IT REQUIRES FAR MORE EFFORT TO DO SO THAN IT DOES TO THINK THE THOUGHTS WHICH ARE SUGGESTED BY APPEARANCES. TO THINK ACCORDING TO APPEARANCE IS EASY. TO THINK TRUTH REGARDLESS OF APPEARANCE IS LABORIOUS, AND REQUIRES THE EXPENDITURE OF MORE POWER THAN ANY OTHER WORK WE ARE CALLED UPON TO PERFORM.

            THERE IS NO LANOR FROM WHICH MOST POEPLE SHRINK AS THEY DO FROM THAT OF SUSTAINED AND CONSECUTIVE THOUGHT, IT IS THE HARDEST WORK IN THE WORLD. THIS IS CONSECUTIVE THOUGHT, IT IS THE HARDEST WORK IN THE WORLD. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN TRUTH IS CONTRARY TO APPEARANCES. EVERY APPEARANCE IN THE VISIBLE WORLD TENDS TO PRODUCE A CORRESPONDING FORM INTHE MIND THAT OBSERVES IT - AND THIS CAN ONLE BE PREVENTED BY HOLDING THE THOUGHT OF THE TRUTH.

            TO LOOK UPON THE APPEARANCE OF POVERTY WILL PRODUCE CORRESPONDING FORMS IN YOUR OWN MIND, UNLESS YOU HOLD TO THE TRUTH THAT THERE IS NO POVERTY, THERE IS ONLY ABUNDANCE.

               TO LOOK UPON THE APPEARANCE OF DISEASE WILL PRODUCE THE FORM OF DISEASE, OR TO THINK RICHES WHEN IN THE MIDST OF APPEARANCES OF POVERY, REQUIRES POWER. THOSE WHO ACQUIRE THIS POWER BECOME MASTERMINDS, WHO CAN CONQUER FATE AND CAN HAVE WHAT THEY WANT.

             THIS POWER CAN ONLY BE ACQUIRED BY GETTING HOLD OF THE BASIC FACT THAT IS BEHIND ALL APPEARANCES, AND THAT FACT IS THAT THERE IS ONE THINKING SUBSTANCE, FROM WHICH AND BY WHICH ALL THINS ARE MADE.

           THEN WE MUST GRASP THE TRUTH THAT EVERY THOUGHT HELD IN THIS SUBSTANCE BECOMES A FORM, AND THAT WE CAN SO IMPRESS OUR THOUGHTS UPON IT AS TO CAUSE THEM TO TAKE FORM AND BECOME VISIBLE THINGS.

           WHEN WE REALIZE THIS, WE LOSE ALL DOUBT AND FEAR, FOR WE KNOW THAT WE CAN CREATE WHAT WE WANT TO CREATE, WE CAN GET WHAT WE WANT TO HAVE, AND CAN BECOME WHAT WE WANT TO BE. AS A FIRST STEP TOWARD GETTING RICH, YOU MUST BELIEVE THE THREE FUNDAMENTAL STATEMENS GIVEN PREVIOUSLY IN THIS CHAPTER, AND IN ORDER TO EMPHASIZE THEM.

 THEY ARE REPEATED HERE------

                      👀 THERE IS A THINKING STUFF FROM WHICH ALL THINGS ARE MADE, AND WHICH IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE, PERMEATES, PENETRATES, AND FILLS THE INTERSPACES OF THE UNIVERSE.

                       👀 A THOUGHT, IN THIS SUBSTANCE, PRODUCES THE THING THAT IS IMAGED BY THE THOUGHT.

                        👀  WE CAN FORM THINGS IN OUR THOUGHT, AND BY IMPRESSING OUR THOUGHT UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE, CAN CAUSE THE THING WE THIONK ABOUT TO BE CREATED.

                    WE MUST LAY ASIDE ALL OTHER CONCEPTS OF THE UNIVERSE THAN THIS MONISTIC ONE, AND YOU MUST DWELL UPON THIS UNTIL IT IS FIXED IN YOUR MIND, AND HAS BECOME YOUR HABITUAL THOUGHT. READ THESE CREED STATEMENTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, FIX EVERY WORD UPON YOUR MEMORY, AND MEDITATE UPON THEM UNTIL YOU FIRMLY BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY. IF A DOUBT COMES TO YOU, CAST IT ASIDE AS A SIN. DO NOT LISTEN TO ARGUMENTS AGAINST THIS IDEA, DO NOT GO O PLACES OR LECTURES OR TUNE IN RADIO OR TELEVISION PROGRAMS WHERE A CONTRARY CONCEPTS OF THINGS IS TAUGHT  OR PREACHED. DO NOT READ MAGAZINES OR BOOKS WHICH TEACH A DIFFERENT IDEA. IF YOU GET MIXED UP IN YOUR FAITH, ALL YOUR FAITH EFFORT WILL BE IN VAIN.

                 DO NOT ASK WHY THESE THINGS ARE TRUE, NOR SPECULATE AS TO HOW THEY CAN BE TRUE, SIMPLY TAKE THEM ON TRUST.

                 THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH BEGINS WITH THE ABSOLUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS FAITH.

                                                                   ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
