Conscious Mind: (Objective Mind)

Subconscious Mind: (Subjective mind)

Your Subconscious mind works without the help of the conscious. It is independent of the conscious mind.

5 Innovative Approaches To Improve Your Mental Health Awareness.

Chapter 1:The Treasure House Within You

The treasure house is within you. Look within for the answer to your heart’s desire

The great secret possessed by the great men of all ages was their ability to contact and release the powers of their subconscious mind. You can do the same.

Your subconscious has the answer to all problems. If you suggest to your subconscious before sleep, “I want to get up at6 A.M.,” it will awaken you at that exact time.

Your subconscious mind is the builder of your body and can heal you. Lull yourself to sleep every night with the idea of perfect health, and your subconscious, being your faithful servant, will obey you.

Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect.

If you want to write a book, write a wonderful play, give a better talk to your audience, [then] convey the idea lovingly and feelingly to your subconscious mind, and it will respond accordingly.

You are like a captain navigating a ship. He must give the right orders, and likewise, you must give the right orders (thoughts and images) to your subconscious mind, which controls and governs all your experiences.

Never use the terms, “I can’t afford it” or “I can’t do this.” Your subconscious mind takes you at your word and sees to it that you do not have the money or the ability to do what you want to do. Affirm, “I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind.”

The law of life is the law of belief. A belief is a thought in your mind. Do not believe in things to harm or hurt you. Believe in the power of your subconscious to heal, inspire, strengthen, and prosper you. According to your belief is it done unto you.

Change your thoughts, and you change destiny.

Chapter 2: How Your Own Mind Works

Think good, and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.

Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, “I can’t afford it,” it may be true, but do not say it. Select a better thought, decree, “I’ll buy it, I accept it in my mind.”

You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. You can choose to be friendly, or you can choose to be unfriendly. Choose to be co-operative, joyous, friendly, lovable, and the whole world will respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.

Your conscious mind is the “watchman at the gate.” Its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions. Choose to believe that something good can happen and is happening now. Your greatest power is your capacity to choose. Choose happiness and abundance.

The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you will react.

Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle word. Never say, “I will fail; I will lose my job; I can’t pay the rent.” Your subconscious cannot take a joke. It brings all these things to pass.

Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends on how you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless, heal, and inspire all people everywhere.

Never say, “I can’t.” Overcome that fear by substituting the following, “I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind.”

Begin to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths and principles of life and not from the standpoint of fear, ignorance, and superstition. Do not let others do your thinking for you. Choose your thoughts and make your own decisions.

You are the captain of your soul (subconscious mind) and the master of your fate. Remember, you can choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!

Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring it to pass. Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action, and all the blessings of life.

Chapter 3: The Miracle-Working Power of Your Subconscious

Your subconscious mind controls all the vital processes of your body and knows the answer to all problems.

Before sleep, turn over a specific request to your subconscious mind and prove its miracle-working power to yourself.

Whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as conditions, experiences, and events. Therefore, you should carefully watch all ideas and thoughts entertained in your conscious mind.

The law of action and reaction is universal. Your thought is action, and the reaction is the automatic response of your subconscious mind to your thought. Watch your thoughts!

All frustration is due to unfulfilled desires. If you dwell on obstacles, delays, and difficulties, your subconscious mind responds accordingly, and you are blocking your good.

The Life Principle will flow through you rhythmically and harmoniously if you consciously affirm: “I believe that the subconscious power, which gave me this desire, is now fulfilling it through me.” This dissolves all conflicts.

You can interfere with the normal rhythm of your heart, lungs, and other organs by worry, anxiety, and fear. Feed your subconscious with thoughts of harmony, health, and peace, and all the functions of your body will become normal again.

Keep your conscious mind busy with the expectation of the best, and your subconscious will faithfully reproduce your habitual thinking.

Imagine the happy ending or solution to your problem, feel the thrill of accomplishment; and what you imagine and feel will be accepted by your subconscious mind and bring it to pass

Chapter4: Mental Healing in Ancient Times

Remind yourself frequently that the healing power is in your subconscious mind.

Know that faith is like a seed planted in the ground; it grows after its kind. Plant the idea (seed) in your mind, water, and fertilize it with expectancy, and it will manifest.

The idea you have for a book, new invention, or play is real in your mind. This is why you can believe you have it now. Believe in the reality of your idea, plan, or invention, and as you do, it will become manifest.

In praying for another, know that your silent inner knowing of wholeness, beauty, and perfection can change the negative patterns of the other’s subconscious mind and bring about wonderful results.

The miraculous healings you hear about at various shrines are due to imagination and blind faith, which act on the subconscious mind, releasing the healing power.

All disease originates in the mind. Nothing appears on the body unless there is a mental pattern corresponding to it.

The symptoms of almost any disease can be induced in you by hypnotic suggestion. This shows you the power of your thought.

There is only one process of healing and that is faith. There is only one healing power, namely, your subconscious mind.

Whether the object of your faith is real or false, you will get results. Your subconscious mind responds to the thought in your mind. Look upon faith as a thought in your mind, and that will suffice

Chapter 5:Mental Healings in Modern Times

Find out what it is that heals you. Realize those correct directions given to your subconscious mind will heal your mind and body.

Develop a definite plan for turning over your requests or desires to your subconscious mind.

Imagine the end desired and feel its reality. Follow it through, and you will get definite results.

Decide what belief is. Know that belief is a thought in your mind, and what you think you create.

It is foolish to believe in sickness and something to hurt or to harm you. Believe in perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth, and divine guidance.

Great and noble thoughts upon which you habitually dwell become great acts.

Apply the power of prayer therapy in your life. Choose a certain plan, idea, or mental picture. Mentally and emotionally unite with that idea, and as you remain faithful to your mental attitude, your prayer will be answered.

Always remember, if you want the power to heal, you can have it through faith, which means a knowledge of the working of your conscious and subconscious mind. Faith comes with understanding.

Blind faith means that a person may get results in healing without any scientific understanding of the powers and forces involved.

Learn to pray for your loved ones who may be ill. Quiet your mind, and your thoughts of health, vitality, and perfection operating through the one universal subjective mind will be felt and resurrected in the mind of your loved one

Chapter 6:Practical Techniques in Mental Healings

Be a mental engineer and use tried and proven techniques in building a grander and greater life.

Your desire is your prayer. Picture the fulfillment of your desire now and feel its reality, and you will experience the joy of the answered prayer.

Desire to accomplish things the easy way with the sure aid of mental science.

You can build radiant health, success, and happiness by the thoughts you think in the hidden studio of your mind.

Experiment scientifically until you prove that there is always a direct response from the infinite intelligence of your subconscious mind to your conscious thinking.

Feel the joy and restfulness in foreseeing the certain accomplishment of your desire. Any mental picture which you have in your mind is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

A mental picture is worth a thousand words. Your subconscious will bring to pass any picture held in the mind backed by faith.

Avoid all effort or mental coercion in prayer. Get into a sleepy, drowsy state and lull yourself to sleep feeling and knowing that your prayer is answered.

Remember that the thankful heart is always close to the Riches of the universe.

To affirm is to state that it 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.

Generate electronic waves of harmony, health, and peace by thinking of the love and the glory of God.

What you decree and feel as true will come to pass. Decree harmony, health, peace, and abundance.

Chapter 7: The Tendency of the Subconscious Is Lifeward

Your subconscious is the builder of your body and is on the job 24 hours a day. You interfere with its life-giving patterns by negative thinking.

Charge your subconscious with the task of evolving an answer to any problem, before sleep and it will answer you.

Watch your thoughts. Every thought accepted as true is sent by your brain to your solar plexus -your abdominal brain -and is brought into your world as a reality.

Know that you can remake yourself by giving a new blueprint to your subconscious mind.

The tendency of your subconscious is always lifeward. Your job is with your conscious mind. Feed your subconscious mind with true premises. Your subconscious is always reproducing according to your habitual mental patterns.

You build a new body every eleven months. Change your body by changing your thoughts and keeping them changed.

It is normal to be healthy. It is abnormal to be ill. There is within the innate principle of harmony.

Thoughts of jealousy, fear, worry, and anxiety tear down and destroy your nerves and glands bringing about mental and physical diseases of all kinds.

What you affirm consciously and feel as true will be made manifest in your mind, body, and affairs. Affirm the good and enter into the joy of living.

Chapter 8:How to Get the Results You Want

Mental coercion or too much effort shows anxiety and fear which block your answer. Easy does it.

When your mind is relaxed and you accept an idea, your subconscious goes to work to execute the idea.

Think and plan independently of traditional methods. Know that there is always an answer and a solution to every problem.

Do not be overly concerned with the beating of your heart, with the breathing of your lungs, or the functions of any part of your anatomy. Lean heavily upon your subconscious and proclaim frequently that Divine right action is taking place.

The feeling of health produces health, the feeling of wealth produces wealth. How do you feel?

Imagination is your most powerful faculty. Imagine what is lovely and of good report. You are what you imagine yourself to be.

You avoid conflict between your conscious and subconscious in the sleepy state. Imagine the fulfillment of your desire over and over again before sleep. Sleep in peace and wake in joy.

Chapter 9:How to Use the Power of Your Subconscious for Wealth

Decide to be wealthy the easy way, with the infallible aid of your subconscious mind.

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.

Wealth is a subconscious conviction. Build into your mentality the idea of wealth.

The trouble with most people is that they have no invisible means of support.

Repeat the word, “Wealth,” to yourself slowly and quietly for about five minutes before sleep and your subconscious will bring wealth to pass in your experience.

The feeling of wealth produces wealth. Keep this in mind at all times.

Your conscious and subconscious mind must agree. Your subconscious accepts what you feel to be true. The dominant idea is always accepted by your subconscious mind. The dominant idea should be wealth, not poverty.

You can overcome any mental conflict regarding wealth by affirming frequently, “By day and by night I am being prospered in all of my interests.”

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.”

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.

Deposit thoughts of prosperity, wealth, and success in your Subconscious mind, and the latter will give you compound interest.

What you consciously affirm, you must not mentally deny a few moments later. This will neutralize the good you have affirmed.

Your true source of wealth consists of the ideas in your mind. You can have an idea worth millions of dollars. Your subconscious will give you the idea you seek.

Envy and jealousy are stumbling blocks to the flow of wealth. Rejoice in the prosperity of others.

The block to wealth is in your mind. Destroy that block now by getting on good mental terms with everyone.

Chapter 10: Your Right To Be Rich

Be bold enough to claim that it is your right to be rich and your deeper mind will honor your claim.

You don’t want just enough to go around. You want all the money you need to do all the things you want to do and when you want to do them. Get acquainted with the riches of your subconscious mind

When money is circulating freely in your life, you are economically healthy. Look at money like the tide and you will always have plenty of it. The ebb and flow of the tide are constant. When the tide is out, you are sure that it will return.

Knowing the laws of your subconscious mind, you will always be supplied regardless of what form money takes.

One reason many people simply make ends meet and never have enough money is that they condemn money. What you condemn takes wings and flies away.

Do not make a god of money. It is only a symbol. Remember that the real riches are in your mind. You are here to lead a balanced life -this includes acquiring all the money you need.

Don’t make money your sole aim. Claim wealth, happiness, peace, true expression, and love, and personally radiate love and goodwill to all. Then your subconscious mind will give you compound interest in all these fields of expression.

There is no virtue in poverty. It is a disease of the mind, and you should heal yourself of this mental conflict or malady at once.

You are not here to live in a hovel, to dress in rags, or to go hungry. You are here to lead life more abundant

Never use the terms “filthy lucre” or “I despise money.” You lose what you criticize. There is nothing good or bad, but thinking of it in either light makes it so.

Repeat frequently, “I like money. I use it wisely, constructively, and judiciously. I release it with joy, and it returns a thousandfold.”

Money is not evil any more so than copper, lead, tin, or iron which you may find in the ground. All evil is due to ignorance and misuse of the mind’s powers.

To picture the result in your mind causes your subconscious to respond and fulfill your mental picture.

Stop trying to get something for nothing. There is no such thing as a free lunch. You must give to receive. You must give mental attention to your goals, ideals, and enterprises, and your deeper mind will back you up. The key to wealth is the application of the laws of the subconscious mind by impregnating it with the idea of wealth.

Chapter 11: Your Subconscious Mind As A Partner In Success

Success means successful living. When you are peaceful, happy, joyous, and doing what you love to do, you are successful.

Find out what you love to do, then do it. If you don’t know your true expression, ask for guidance, and the lead will come.

Specialize in your particular field and try to know more about it than anyone else.

A successful man is not selfish. His main desire in life is to serve humanity.

There is no true success without peace of mind.

A successful man possesses great psychological and spiritual understanding.

If you imagine an objective clearly, you will be provided with the necessities through the wonder-working power of your subconscious mind.

Your thought fused with feeling becomes a subjective belief, and according to your belief is it done unto you.

The power of sustained imagination draws forth the miracle-working powers of your subconscious mind.

If you are seeking a promotion in your work, imagine your employer, supervisor, or loved one congratulating you on your promotion. Make the picture vivid and real. Hear the voice, see the gestures, and feel the reality of it all. Continue to do this frequently, and through frequent occupancy of your mind, you will experience the joy of the answered prayer.

Your subconscious mind is a storehouse of memory. For a perfect memory, affirm frequently: “The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind reveals to me everything I need to know at all times, everywhere.”

If you wish to sell a home or property of any kind, affirm slowly, quietly, and feelingly as follows: “Infinite intelligence attracts to me the buyer for this house or property, who wants it, and who prospers in it.” Sustain this awareness, and the deeper currents of your subconscious mind will bring it to pass.

The idea of success contains all the elements of success. Repeat the word, “success,” to yourself frequently with faith and conviction, and you will be under a subconscious compulsion to succeed.

Chapter 12:Scientists Use the Subconscious Mind

Remember that the subconscious mind has determined the success and wonderful achievements of all great scientific workers.

By giving your conscious attention and devotion to the solution of a perplexing problem, your subconscious mind gathers all the necessary information and presents it full-blown to the conscious mind.

If you are wondering about the answer to a problem, try to solve it objectively. Get all the information you can from research and also from others. K no answer comes, turn it over to your subconscious mind before sleep, and the answer always comes. It never fails.

You do not always get the answer overnight. Keep on turning your request over to your subconscious until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.

You delay the answer by thinking it will take a long time or that it is a major problem. Your subconscious has no problem, it knows only the answer.

Believe that you have the answer now. Feel the joy of the answer and the way you would feel if you had the perfect answer. Your subconscious will respond to your feeling.

Any mental picture, backed by faith and perseverance, will come to pass through the miracle-working power of your subconscious. Trust it, belief in its power and wonders will happen as you pray.

Your subconscious is the storehouse of memory, and within your subconscious are recorded all your experiences since childhood.

Scientists meditating on ancient scrolls, temples, fossils, etc, can reconstruct scenes of the past and make them alive today. Their subconscious mind comes to their aid.

Turn over your request for a solution to your subconscious before sleep. Trust it and believe in it, and the answer will come. It knows all and sees all, but you must not doubt or question its powers.

The action is your thought, and the reaction is the response of your subconscious mind. If your thoughts are wise, your actions and decisions will be wise.

Guidance comes as a feeling, an inner awareness, an overpowering hunch whereby you know that you know. It is an inner sense of touch. Follow it.

Chapter 13:Your Subconscious and the Wonders of Sleep

If you are worried that you will not wake up on time, suggest to your subconscious mind before sleep the exact time you wish to arise, and it will awaken you. It needs no clock. Do the same thing with all problems. There is nothing too hard for your subconscious.

Your subconscious never sleeps. It is always on the job. It controls all your vital functions. Forgive yourself and everyone else before you go to sleep, and healing will take place much more rapidly.

Guidance is given to you while you are asleep, sometimes in a dream. The healing currents are also released, and in the morning you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

When troubled by the vexations and strife of the day, still the wheels of your mind and think about the wisdom and intelligence lodged in your subconscious mind which is ready to respond to you. This will give you peace, strength, and confidence.

Sleep is essential for the peace of mind and health of the body. Lack of sleep can cause irritation, depression, and mental disorders. You need eight hours’ sleep.

Medical research scholars point out that insomnia precedes psychotic breakdowns.

You are spiritually recharged during sleep. Adequate sleep is essential for joy and vitality in life.

Your tired brain craves sleep so hungrily that it will sacrifice anything to get it. Many who have fallen asleep at the wheel of an automobile can testify to this.

Many sleep-deprived people have poor memories and lack proper coordination. They become befuddled, confused, and disorientated.

Sleep brings counsel. Before sleep, claim that the infinite intelligence of your subconscious mind is guiding and directing you. Then, watch for the lead which comes, perhaps on awakening.

Trust your subconscious completely. Know that its tendency is always lifeward. Occasionally, your subconscious answers you in a very vivid dream and a vision in the night. You can be forewarned in a dream in the same way as the author of this book was warned.

Your future is in your mind now, based on your habitual thinking and beliefs. Claiming infinite intelligence leads and guides you; and that all good is yours, and your future will be wonderful. Believe it and accept it. Expect the best, and invariably the best will come to you.

If you are writing a novel, play, or book, or are working on an invention, speak to your subconscious mind at night and claim boldly that its wisdom, intelligence, and power are guiding, directing, and revealing to you the ideal play, novel, book, or revealing the perfect solution whatever it may be. Wonders will happen as you pray this way

Chapter 14:Your Subconscious Mind And Marital Problems

Ignorance of mental and spiritual laws is the cause of all marital unhappiness. By praying scientifically together, you stay together.

The best time to prevent divorce is before marriage. If you learn how to pray in the right way, you will attract the right mate for you.

Marriage is the union of a man and woman who are bound together by love. Their hearts beat as one, and they move onward, upward, and Godward.

Marriage does not bequeath happiness. People find happiness by dwelling on the eternal truths of God and the spiritual values of life. Then, the man and woman can contribute to each other’s happiness and joy.

You attract the right mate by dwelling on the qualities and characteristics you admire in a woman or a man, and then your subconscious mind will bring you together in divine order.

You must build into your mentality the mental equivalent of what you want in a marriage partner. If you want to attract an honest, sincere, and loving partner in life, you must be honest, sincere, and loving yourself.

You do not have to repeat mistakes in marriage. When you believe you can have the type of man or woman you idealize, it is done unto you as you believe. To believe is to accept something as true. Accept your ideal companion now mentally.

Do not wonder how, why, or where you will meet the mate you are praying for. Trust implicitly the wisdom of your subconscious mind. It has the “know-how,” and you don’t have to assist it.

You are mentally divorced when you indulge in peeves, grudges, ill will, and hostility toward your marriage partner. You are mentally dwelling with error in the bed of your mind. Adhere to your marriage vows, “I promise to cherish, love, and honor him (or her) all the days of my life.”

Cease projecting fear patterns to your marriage partner. Project love, peace, harmony, and goodwill, and your marriage will grow more beautiful and more wonderful through the years.

Radiate love, peace, and goodwill to each other. These vibrations are picked up by the subconscious mind resulting in mutual trust, affection, and respect.

A nagging wife is usually seeking attention and appreciation. She is craving love and affection. Praise and exalt her many good points. Show her that you love her and appreciate her.

A man who loves his wife does not do anything unloving or unkind in word, manner, or action. Love is what love does.

In marital problems, always seek expert advice. You would not go to a carpenter to pull a tooth; neither should you discuss your marriage problems with relatives or friends. You should go to a trained person for counsel.

Never try to make your wife or husband over. These attempts are always foolish and tend to destroy the pride and self-esteem of the other. Moreover, it arouses a spirit of resentment that proves fatal to the marriage bond. Cease trying to make the other the second edition of yourself.

Pray together and you will stay together. Scientific prayer solves all problems. Mentally picture your wife as she ought to be, joyous, happy, healthy, and beautiful. See your husband as he ought to be, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and kind. Maintain this mental picture, and you will experience the marriage made in heaven which is harmony and peace.

Chapter 15: Your Subconscious Mind And Your Happiness

William James said that the greatest discovery of the 19th century was the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith.

there is tremendous power within you. Happiness will come to you when you acquire sublime confidence in this power. Then, you will make your dreams come true.

You can rise victorious over any defeat and realize the cherished desires of your heart through the marvelous power of your subconscious mind. This is the meaning of Whosoever trusteth in the Lord[spiritual laws of the subconscious mind], happy, is he?

You must choose happiness. Happiness is a habit. It is a good habit to ponder often on Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. PHIL.

When you open your eyes in the morning, say to yourself, I choose happiness today. I choose success today. I choose the right action today. I choose to love and goodwill for all today. I choose peace today. Pour life, love, and interest into this affirmation, and you have chosen happiness.

Give thanks for all your blessings several times a day. Furthermore, pray for the peace, happiness, and prosperity of all members of your family, your associates, and all people everywhere.

You must sincerely desire to be happy. Nothing is accomplished without desire. Desire is a wish with wings of Imagination and faith. Imagine the fulfillment of your desire, and feel its reality, and it will come to pass. Happiness comes in answered prayer.

By constantly dwelling on thoughts of fear, worry, anger, hate, and failure, you will become very depressed and unhappy. Remember, your life is what your thoughts make of it.

You cannot buy happiness with all the money in the world. Some millionaires are very happy, some are very unhappy. Many people with very little worldly goods are very happy, and some are very unhappy. Some married people are happy, and some very unhappy. Some single people are happy, and some are very unhappy. The kingdom of happiness is in your thought and feeling.

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet mind. Anchor your thoughts on peace, poise, security, and divine guidance, and your mind will be productive of happiness.

There is no block to your happiness. External things are not causative, these are effects, not cause. Take your cue from the only creative principle within you. Your thought is the cause, and a new cause produces a new effect. Choose happiness.

The happiest man is he who brings forth the highest and the best in him. God is the highest and the best in him, for the kingdom of God is within.

Chapter 16:Your Subconscious Mind And Harmonious Human Relations

Your subconscious mind is a recording machine that reproduces your habitual thinking. Think good of the other, and you are thinking good about yourself.

A hateful or resentful thought is a mental poison. Do not think ill of another for to do so is to think ill of yourself. You are the only thinker in your universe, and your thoughts are creative.

Your mind is a creative medium; therefore, what you think and feel about the other, you are bringing to pass in your own experience. This is the psychological meaning of the Golden Rule. As you would that man should think about you, think you about them in the same manner.

To cheat, rob, or defraud another brings lack, loss, and limitation to yourself. Your subconscious mind records your inner motivations, thoughts, and feelings. These being of a negative nature, loss, limitation, and trouble come to you in countless ways. What you do to the other, you are doing to yourself.

The good you do, the kindness proffered, the love and goodwill you send forth, will all come back to you multiplied in many ways.

You are the only thinker in your world. You are responsible for the way you think about the other. Remember, the other person is not responsible for the way you think about him. Your thoughts are reproduced. What are you thinking now about the other fellow?

Become emotionally mature and permit other people to differ from you. They have a perfect right to disagree with you, and you have the same freedom to disagree with them. You can disagree without being disagreeable.

Animals pick up your fear vibrations and snap at you. If you love animals, they will never attack you. Many undisciplined human beings are just as sensitive as dogs, cats, and other animals.

Your inner speech, representing your silent thoughts and feelings, is experienced in the reactions of others toward you.

Wish for the other what you wish for yourself. This is the key to harmonious human relations.

Change your concept and estimate of your employer. Feel and know he is practicing the Golden Rule and the Law of Love, and he will respond accordingly.

The other person cannot annoy you or irritate you except you permit him. Your thought is creative; you can bless him. If someone calls you a skunk, you have the freedom to say to the other, “God’s peace fills your soul.”

Love is the answer to getting along with others. Love is understanding, goodwill, and respecting the divinity of the other.

You would not hate a hunchback or cripple. You would have compassion. Have compassion and understanding for mental hunchbacks who have been conditioned negatively. To understand all is to forgive all.

Rejoice in the success, promotion, and good fortune of the other. In doing so, you attract good fortune to yourself.

Never yield to emotional scenes and tantrums of others. Appeasement never wins. Do not be a doormat. Adhere to that which is right. Stick to your ideal, knowing that the mental outlook which gives you peace, happiness, and joy is right, good, and true. What blesses you, blesses all.

All you owe any person in the world is love, and love is wishing for everyone what you wish for yourself health, happiness, and all the blessings of life.

Chapter 17:How to Use Your Subconscious for Forgiveness

God, or Life, is no respecter of persons. Life plays no favorites. Life, or God, seems to favor you when you align yourself with the principle of harmony, health, joy, and peace

God, or Life, never sends disease, sickness, accident, or suffering. We bring these things on ourselves by our negative destructive thinking based upon the law as we sow, so shall we reap.

Your concept of God is the most important thing in your life. If you believe in a God of love, your subconscious mind will respond with countless blessings to you. Believe in a God of love.

Life, or God, holds no grudge against you. Life never condemns you. Life heals a severe cut on your hand. Life forgives you if you burn your finger. It reduces the edema and restores the part to wholeness and perfection

Your guilt complex is a false concept of God and Life. God, or Life, does not punish or judge you. You do this to yourself by your false beliefs, negative thinking, and self-condemnation.

God, or Life, does not condemn or punish you. The forces of nature are not evil. The effect of their use depends on how you use the power within you. You can use electricity to kill someone or to light the house. You can use water to drown a child or quench his thirst. Good and evil come right back to the thought and purpose in man’s mind.

God, or Life, never punishes. The man punishes himself by his false concepts of God, Life, and the Universe. His thoughts are creative, and he creates his misery.

If another criticizes you, and these faults are within you, rejoice, give thanks, and appreciate the comments. This allows you to correct the particular fault.

You cannot be hurt by criticism when you know that you are the master of your thoughts, reactions, and emotions. This allows you to pray and bless the other, thereby blessing yourself.

When you pray for guidance and right action, take what comes. Realize it is good and very good. Then there is no cause for self-pity, criticism, or hatred.

There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so. There is no evil in sex, the desire for food, wealth, or true expression. It depends on how you use these urges, desires, or aspirations. Your desire for food can be met without killing someone for a loaf of bread.

Resentment, hatred, ill will, and hostility are behind a host of maladies. Forgive yourself and everybody else by pouring out love, life, joy, and goodwill to all those who have hurt you. Continue until you meet them in your mind and you are at peace with them.

To forgive is to give something for. Give love, peace, joy, wisdom, and all the blessings of life to the other, until there is no sting left in your mind. This is the acid test of forgiveness.

Let us suppose you had an abscess in your jaw about a year ago. It was very painful Ask yourself if it is painful now. The answer is in the negative.

Chapter 18:How Your Subconscious Removes Mental Blocks

The solution lies within the problem. The answer is in every question. Infinite intelligence responds to you as you call upon it with faith and confidence.

Habit is the function of your subconscious mind. There is no greater evidence of the marvelous power of your subconscious than the force and sway habit holds in your life. You are a creature of habit.

You form habit patterns in your subconscious mind by repeating a thought and act over and over again until it establishes tracks in the subconscious mind and becomes automatic, such as swimming, dancing, typing, walking, driving your car, etc.

Chapter 19: How To Use Your Subconscious Mind To Remove Fear

Do the thing you are afraid to do, and the death of fear is certain. Say to yourself and mean it, “I am going to master this fear,” and you will.

Fear is a negative thought in your mind. Supplant it with a constructive thought. Fear has killed millions. Confidence is greater than fear. Nothing is more powerful than faith in God and the good.

Fear is man’s greatest enemy. It is behind failure, sickness, and bad human relations. Love casts out fear. Love is an emotional attachment to the good things of life. Fall in love with honesty, integrity, justice, goodwill, and success. Live in the joyous expectancy of the best, and invariably the best will come to you.

Counteract the fear suggestions with the opposite, such as “I sing beautifully; I am poised, serene, and calm.” It will pay fabulous dividends.

Fear is behind amnesia at oral and written examination time. You can overcome this by affirming frequently, “I have a perfect memory for everything I need to know,” or you can imagine a friend congratulating you on your brilliant success on the examination. Persevere and you will win.

If you are afraid to cross water, swim. In your imagination swim freely, joyously. Project yourself into the water mentally. Feel the chill and thrill of swimming across the pool. Make it vivid. As you do this subjectively, you will be compelled to go into the water and conquer it. This is the law of your mind.

If you are afraid of closed places, such as elevators, lecture halls, etc, mentally ride in an elevator blessing all its parts and functions. You will be amazed at how quickly the fear will be dissipated.

You were born with only two fears, the fear of falling and the fear of noise. All your other fears were acquired. Get rid of them.

Normal fear is good. Abnormal fear is very bad and destructive. To constantly indulge in fear-thoughts results in abnormal fear, obsessions, and complexes. To fear something persistently causes a sense of panic and terror.

You can overcome abnormal fear when you know the power of your subconscious mind can change conditions and bring to pass the cherished desires of your heart. Give your immediate attention and devotion to your desire which is the opposite of your fear. This is the love that casts out fear.

If you are afraid of failure, give attention to success. If you are afraid of sickness, dwell on your perfect health. If you are afraid of an accident, dwell on the guidance and protection of God. If you are afraid of death, dwell on Eternal Life. God is Life, and that is your life now.

The great law of substitution is the answer to fear. Whatever you fear has its solution in the form of your desire. If you are sick, you desire health. If you are in the prison of fear, you desire freedom. Expect the good. Mentally concentrate on the good, and know that your subconscious mind answers you always. It never fails.

The things you fear do not exist except as thoughts in your mind. Thoughts are creative. This is why Job said, The thing I feared has come upon me. Think good, and good follows.

Look at your fears; hold them up to the light of reason. Learn to laugh at your fears. That is the best medicine.

Nothing can disturb you but your own thought. The suggestions, statements, or threats of other persons have no power. The power is within you, and when your thoughts are focused on that which is good, then God’s power is with your thoughts of good. There is only one Creative Power and it moves in harmony. There are no divisions of quarrels in it. Its source is Love. This is why God’s power is with your thoughts of good
