more wisdom with which to usethe riches you gave me at birthin the form of power to controland direct my mind to whatever

5/96

Part Twelve is enclosed herewith. In the fourth paragraph you willfind the following statement: "You must first have the knowledge of

your power; second, the courage to dare; third, the faith to do."

You must first have theknowledge of your power;

Second, the courage to

dare;

Third the faith to do


6/96

If you concentrate upon the thoughts given, if you give them yourentire attention, you will find a world of meaning in each sentence,

and will attract to yourself other thoughts in harmony with them,


7/96

and you will soon grasp the full significance of the vital knowledgeupon which you are concentrating.


8/96

Knowledge does not apply itself; we as individuals must make theapplication, and the application consists in fertilizing the thought

with a living purpose.


9/96

The time and thought which most persons waste in aimless effort wouldaccomplish wonders if properly directed with some special object in

view.


10/96

In order to do this, it is necessary to center your mental force upon aspecific thought and hold it there, to the exclusion of all other thoughts.


11/96

If you have ever looked through the viewfinder of a camera, youfound that when the object was not in focus, the impression was

indistinct and possibly blurred,


12/96

but when the proper focus was obtained the picture wasclear and distinct.


13/96

This illustrates thepower of

concentration.


14/96

Unless you can concentrate upon the object which you have in view,you will have but a hazy, indifferent, vague, indistinct and blurred outline

of your ideal and the results will be in accordance with your mentalpicture.


15/96

1. There is no purpose in life that cannot be best accomplished througha scientific understanding of the creative power of thought.


16/96

2. This power to think is common to all


17/96

Man is, because he thinks.


18/96

Man's power

to think is

infinite,consequently

his creative

power isunlimited.

19/96

3. We know that thought is building for us the thing we think of andactually bringing it nearer,

t fi d it diffi lt t b i h f i t di t ll


20/96

yet we find it difficult to banish fear, anxiety or discouragement, allof which are powerful thought forces,

d hi h ti ll d th thi d i f th


21/96

and which continually send the things we desire further away, sothat it is often one step forward and two steps backward.


22/96

4. The only way to keep

from going backward is tokeep going forward.


23/96

Eternal vigilance is the price of succes


24/96

There are three steps, and each

one is absolutely essential.


25/96

5 With this as a basis you can construct an ideal business an


26/96

5. With this as a basis you can construct an ideal business, anideal home, ideal friends, and an ideal environment.

You are not


27/96

You are notrestricted as tomaterial or cost.


28/96

Thought is

omnipotent and has

the power to draw onthe Infinite bank of

primary substance for

all that it requires


29/96

Infinite resources aretherefore at yourcommand.

6 But your ideal must be sharp clear cut definite; to have one


30/96

6. But your ideal must be sharp, clear-cut, definite; to have oneideal today, another tomorrow, and a third next week, means to

scatter your forces and accomplish nothing;

your result will be a meaningless and chaotic combination of


31/96

your result will be a meaningless and chaotic combination ofwasted material.


32/96

7. Unfortunately thisis the result which

many are securing,and the cause is

self evident.

If a sculptor started out with


33/96

If a sculptor started out witha piece of marble and a

chisel and changed his idealevery fifteen minutes, what

result could he expect?

And why should you expect any different result in molding the


34/96

And why should you expect any different result in molding thegreatest and most plastic of all substances, the only real

substance?

8 The result of this indecision and negative thought is often found


35/96

8. The result of this indecision and negative thought is often foundin the loss of material wealth.


36/96

Supposed independencewhich required manyyears of toil and effort

suddenly disappears.


37/96

It is often found then thatmoney and property arenot independence at all.

On the contrary the only independence is found to be a practical


38/96

On the contrary, the only independence is found to be a practicalworking knowledge of the creative power of thought.

9. This practical working method cannot come to you until you


39/96

9. This practical working method cannot come to you until youlearn that the only real power which you can have is the power to

adjust yourself to Divine and unchangeable principles.

You cannot change the Infinite, but you can come into an


40/96

You cannot change the Infinite, but you can come into anunderstanding of Natural laws.

The reward of this understanding is a conscious realization of your


41/96

The reward of this understanding is a conscious realization of yourability to adjust your thought faculties with the Universal Thought

which is Omnipresent.

Your ability to cooperate with this Omnipotence will indicate the


42/96

Your ability to cooperate with this Omnipotence will indicate thedegree of success with which you meet.

10. The power of thought has many counterfeits which are more


43/96

0 e po e o t oug t as a y cou te e ts c a e o eor less fascinating, but the results are harmful instead of helpful.

11. Of course, worry, fear, and all negative thoughts produce a


44/96

, y, , g g pcrop after their kind; those who harbor thoughts of this kind must

inevitably reap what they have sown.

12. Again, there are the Phenomena seekers who gormandize on the


45/96

g gso-called proofs and demonstration obtained at materializing sances.

They throw open their mental doors and soak themselves in the


46/96

y pmost poisonous currents which can be found in the psychic world.

They do not seem to understand that it is the ability to become negative,


47/96

receptive and passive, and thus drain themselves of all their vital force,which enables them to bring about these vibratory thought forms.

13. There are also the Hindu worshippers, who see in the materializing

48/96

phenomena which are performed by the so-called adepts,


49/96

a source of power,

forgetting, or neverseeming to realize that assoon as the will is

withdrawn the forms wither,and the vibratory forces of

which they are composedvanish.


50/96

14. Telepathy, or thought transference, has received considerableattention, but as it requires a negative mental state on the part of

the receiver, the practice is harmful.

A thought may be sent with the intention of hearing or seeing, but it will


51/96

bring the penalty attached to the inversion of the principle involved.

15. In many instances, hypnotism is positively dangerous to the


52/96

subject as well as the operator.

No one familiar with thelaws governing in the mental


53/96

laws governing in the mentalworld would think ofattempting to dominate thewill of another, for by sodoing, he will gradually (butsurely) divest himself of hisown power.

16. All of these perversions have their temporary satisfaction and


54/96

for some a keen fascination,

but there is an infinitely greater fascination in a true understanding


55/96

of the world of power within,

a power which increases with use; is permanent instead of fleeing;


56/96

which not only is potent as a remedial agency to bring about theremedy for past error or results of wrong thinking,


57/96

but is a prophylactic agency protecting us from all manner andform of danger, and finally is an actual creative force with which

we can build new conditions and new environment.

17. The law is that thought will correlate with its object and bring


58/96

forth in the material world the correspondence of the thing thoughtor produced in the mental world.

We then discern the absolute necessity of seeing that everyf f


59/96

thought has the inherent germ of truth in order that the law ofgrowth will bring into manifestation good, for good alone can

confer any permanent power.

18. The principle which gives the thought the dynamic power tol t ith it bj t d th f t t d h


60/96

correlate with its object, and therefore to master every adverse humanexperience, is the law of attraction, which is another name for love.

This is an eternal and fundamental principle, inherent in all things, ine er s stem of Philosoph in e er Religion and in e er Science


61/96

every system of Philosophy, in every Religion, and in every Science.


62/96

There is no gettingaway from the law of

love.


63/96

It is feeling that imparts vitality

to thought.

Feeling isdesire and


64/96

desire, anddesire is love.Thought

impregnatedwith lovebecomesinvincible.

19. We find this truth emphasized wherever the power of thoughti d t d


65/96

is understood,

The Universal Mind is not onlyIntelligence but it is substance and


66/96

Intelligence, but it is substance, andthis substance is the attractive forcewhich brings electrons together bythe law of attraction so that they

form atoms;

the atoms in turn are brought together by the same law and formmolecules; molecules take objective forms; and so we find that the


67/96

molecules; molecules take objective forms; and so we find that thelaw of love is the creative force behind every manifestation,

not only of atoms, but of worlds, of the Universe, of everything ofwhich the imagination can form any conception


68/96

which the imagination can form any conception.

20. It is the operation


69/96

of this marvelous lawof attraction which

has caused men inall ages and all timesto believe that there

must be somepersonal being whoresponded to their

petitions and desires,and manipulatedevents in order tocomply with their

re uirements.

21. It is the combination of Thought and Love which forms theirresistible force called the law of attraction


70/96

irresistible force, called the law of attraction.

Thought+ Love

All natural laws are irresistible, the law of Gravitation, or Electricity,or any other law operates with mathematical exactitude


71/96

or any other law operates with mathematical exactitude.

There is no variation; it is only the channel of distribution whichmay be imperfect


72/96

may be imperfect.

If a bridge falls, we do not attribute the collapse to any variation ofthe law of gravitation


73/96

the law of gravitation.


74/96

If a light fails us, we do not conclude that the laws governing electricitycannot be depended upon, and if the law of attraction seems to be

imperfectly demonstrated by an inexperienced or uninformed person,

we are not to conclude that the greatest and most infallible law uponwhich the entire system of creation depends has been suspended.


75/96

which the entire system of creation depends has been suspended.

We should rather conclude that a little more understanding of the law isrequired, for the same reason that a correct solution of a difficult


76/96

required, for the same reason that a correct solution of a difficultproblem in Mathematics is not always readily and easily obtained.


77/96

22. Things are created in the mental orspiritual world be fore they appear in the

outward act or event.

by the simple process of governing our thought forces today, wehelp create the events which will come into our lives in the future


78/96

help create the events which will come into our lives in the future,perhaps even tomorrow.


79/96

Educated desire is the mostpotent means of bringing intoaction the law of attraction.

23. Man is so constituted that he must first create the tools, orimplements by which he gains the power to think


80/96

implements by which he gains the power to think.

The mind cannot comprehend an entirely new idea until acorresponding vibratory brain cell has been prepared to receive it


81/96

corresponding vibratory brain cell has been prepared to receive it.

This explains why it is so difficult for us to receive or appreciate anentirely new idea; we have no brain cell capable of receiving it; we


82/96

entirely new idea; we have no brain cell capable of receiving it; weare therefore incredulous; we do not believe it.

24. If, therefore, you have not been familiar with the Omnipotence of the lawof attraction, and the scientific method by which it can be put into operation,


83/96


84/96

or if you have not been familiar with the unlimited possibilitieswhich it opens to those who are enabled to take advantage of the

resources it offers,

begin now and create the necessary brain cells which will enableyou to comprehend the unlimited powers which may be yours by


85/96

you to co p e e d t e u ted po e s c ay be you s bycooperating with Natural Law.

25. The intention governs


86/96

the attention.


87/96

Power comes through repose.

It is by concentration that deep thoughts, wise speech, and allforces of high potentiality are accomplished.


88/96

g p y p

26. It is in the Silence that you get into touch with the Omnipotentpower of the subconscious mind from which all power is evolved.


89/96

p p

27. He who desires wisdom, power, orpermanent success of any kind will find it only


90/96

p y ywithin; it is an unfoldment.


91/96

The unthinking may conclude that the silence is verysimple and easily attained, but it should be

remembered that only in absolute silence may one

come into contact with Divinity itself;

may learn of the unchangeable law and open for himself the channelsby which persistent practice and concentration lead to perfection.


92/96

28. This week go to the sameroom, take the same chair, the


93/96

same position as previously; besure to relax, let go, both

mentally and physically; always

do this; never try to do anymental work under pressure; seethat there are no tense musclesor nerves, that you are entirely

comfortable.

Now realize your unity with omnipotence; get into touch with this power,come into a deep and vital understanding, appreciation, and realization

f h f h bili hi k i bili h


94/96

of the fact that your ability to think is your ability to act upon theUniversal Mind, and bring it into manifestation, realize that it will meet

any and every requirement;

that you have exactly the same potential ability which any individualever did have or ever will have, because each is but an expression or

if i f h O ll f h h l h i


95/96

manifestation of the One, all are parts of the whole, there is nodifference in kind or quality, the only difference being one of degree.

Thought cannot conceive


96/96

gof anything that may not

be brought to expression.

He who first uttered it maybe only the suggester, but

the doer will appear.
