Core Principles: Subconscious & Belief
1. Never use the terms “I can’t afford it” or “I can’t do this”. Affirm “I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind.” you must remember whenever your subconscious mind accepts an idea, it immediately begins to execute it.
2. The law of the life is the law of belief. Belief is a thought in the subconscious mind.
3. Change your thoughts, and you change your destiny. If you really want peace of mind and inner calm, you will get it.
4. If you think good, good will follow; if you think evil, evil will follow; this is the way your mind works;
5. The only thing necessary for you to do is to get your subconscious mind to accept your idea, and the law of your own subconscious mind will bring forth the health, peace, or position you desire.
6. Sometimes it seems to bring about an immeiate solution to your difficulties, but at other times it may take days, weeks, or longer .... its ways are past finding out.
7. You are what you think all day long. The fleeing of health produces health, the feeling of wealth produces wealth. How do you feel?
Problem-Solving with the Subconscious
1. 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. If no answer comes, turn it over to your subconscious mind prior to sleep, and the answer always comes. It never fails.
2. Many of our great scientists have received answers to perplexing problems while they were asleep.
3. Sleep is a divine law, and many answers to our problems come to us when we are sound asleep upon the bed. The main reason we sleep is because “the nobler part of the soul is united by abstraction to our higher nature and becomes a participant in the wisdom and foreknowledge of the gods.”
Affirmations, Prayer & Practice
1. Get into a sleepy state, and in that sleepy state, say quietly, over and over again as a lullaby, “I am completely free from this habit; harmony and peace of mind reign supreme.” by this means you induce the subconscious to accept the idea, and a healing follows.
2. The three steps to success in prayer:
3. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. MATTHEW 7:7”
4. The prime condition which Jesus insisted upon was faith. Over and over again you read in the Bible, according to your faith is it done unto you.
Health & Healing
1. It is abnormal to be sick; it simply means you are going agaist the stream of life and thinking negatively.

Choice, Happiness & Daily Direction

Scenes and Images that Stuck with Me:
Would I recommend it?
Yes—if you’re open to blending spirituality with psychology. It’s dated in language but still practical. At its core, it’s a reminder that the mind isn’t just a mirror of reality—it’s also a tool for shaping it.
