of the ladder water will be the result you're very familiar with the fact that one atom of oxygen and one atom of carbon will produce carbon monoxide a poisonous gas but if you add another atom of oxygen you will get carbon dioxide a harmless gas and so on throughout the vast realm of chemical compounds you must not think that the principles of chemistry physics and mathematics differ from the principles of your subconscious mind let us consider a generally accepted principle water seeks its own level this is a universal principle which is applicable to water everywhere consider another principle matter expands when heated this is true anywhere at any time and under all circumstances you can heat a piece of steel and it will expand regardless whether the steel is found in china england or india it is a universal truth that matter expands when heated it is also a universal truth that whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as condition experience and event your prayer is answered because your subconscious mind is principle and by principle i mean the way a thing works for example the principle of electricity is that it works from a higher to a lower potential you do not change the principle of electricity when you use it but by cooperating with nature you bring forth marvelous inventions and discoveries which bless humanity in countless ways your subconscious mind is principle and works ing to the law of belief you must know what belief is why it works and how it works your bible says in a simple clear and beautiful way whoever shall say unto this mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he saith mark 11 23 the law of your mind is the law of belief this means to believe in the way your mind works to believe in belief itself the belief of your mind is the thought of your mind that is simple just that and nothing else all your experiences events conditions and acts are the reactions of your subconscious mind to your thoughts remember it is not the thing believed in but the belief in your own mind which brings about the result cease believing in the false beliefs opinions superstitions and fears of mankind begin to believe in the eternal verities and truths of life which never change then you will move onward upward and godward whoever reads this book and applies the principles of the subconscious mind herein set forth will be able to pray scientifically and effectively for himself and for others your prayer is answered ing to the universal law of action and reaction thought is incipient action the reaction is the response from your subconscious mind which corresponds with the nature of your thought busy your mind with the concepts of harmony health peace and good will and wonders will happen in your life the duality of mind you have only one mind but your mind possesses two distinctive characteristics the line of demarcation between the two is well known to all thinking men and women today the two functions of your mind are essentially unlike each is endowed with separate and distinct attributes and powers the nomenclature generally used to distinguish the two functions of your mind is as follows the objective and subjective mind the conscious and subconscious mind the waking and sleeping mind the surface self and the deep self the voluntary mind and the involuntary mind the male and the female and many other terms you will find the terms conscious and subconscious used to represent the dual nature of your mind throughout this book the conscious and subconscious minds an excellent way to get acquainted with the two functions of your mind is to look upon your own mind as a garden you are a gardener and you're planting seeds thoughts in your subconscious mind all day long based on your habitual thinking as you sow in your subconscious mind so shall you reap in your body and environment begin now to sow thoughts of peace happiness right action good will and prosperity think quietly and with interest on these qualities and accept them fully in your subconscious reasoning mind continue to plant these wonderful seeds thoughts in the garden of your mind and you will reap a glorious harvest your subconscious mind may be likened to the soil which will grow all kinds of seeds good or bad do men gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles every thought is therefore a cause and every condition is an effect for this reason it is essential that you take charge of your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions when your mind thinks correctly when you understand the truth when the thoughts deposited in your subconscious mind are constructive harmonious and peaceful the magic working power of your subconscious will respond and bring about harmonious conditions agreeable surroundings and the best of everything when you begin to control your thought processes you can apply the powers of your subconscious to any problem or difficulty in other words you will actually be consciously cooperating with the infinite power and omnipotent law which governs all things look around you wherever you live and you will notice that the vast majority of mankind lives in the world without the more enlightened men are intensely interested in the world within remember it is the world within namely your thoughts feelings and imagery that makes your world without it is therefore the only creative power and everything that you find in your world of expression has been created by you in the inner world of your mind consciously or unconsciously a knowledge of the interaction of your conscious and subconscious minds will enable you to transform your whole life in order to change external conditions you must change the cause most men try to change conditions and circumstances by working with conditions and circumstances to remove discord confusion lack and limitation you must remove the cause and the cause is the way you are using your conscious mind in other words the way you are thinking and picturing in your mind you are living in a fathomless sea of infinite riches your subconscious is very sensitive to your thoughts your thoughts form the mold or matrix through which the infinite intelligence wisdom vital forces and energies of your subconscious flow the practical application of the laws of your mind as illustrated in each chapter of this book will cause you to experience abundance for poverty wisdom for superstition and ignorance peace for pain joy for sadness light for darkness harmony for discord faith and confidence for fear success for failure and freedom from the law of averages certainly there can be no more wonderful blessing than these from a mental emotional and material standpoint most of the great scientists artists poets singers writers and inventors have a deep understanding of the workings of the conscious and subconscious minds one time caruso the great operatic tenor was struck with stage fright he said his throat was paralyzed due to spasms caused by intense fear which constricted the muscles of his throat perspiration poured copiously down his face he was ashamed because in a few minutes he had to go out on stage yet he was shaking with fear and trepidation he said they will laugh at me i can't sing then he shouted in the presence of those behind the stage the little me wants to strangle the big me within he said to the little me get out of here the big me wants to sing through me by the big me he meant the limitless power and wisdom of his subconscious mind and he began to shout get out get out the big me is going to sing his subconscious mind responded releasing the vital forces within him when the call came he walked out on the stage and sang gloriously and majestically enthralling the audience it is obvious to you now that caruso must have understood the two levels of mind the conscious rational and the subconscious or irrational level your subconscious mind is reactive and responds to the nature of your thoughts when your conscious mind the little me is full of fear worry and anxiety the negative emotions engendered in your subconscious mind the big me are released and flood the conscious mind with a sense of panic foreboding and despair when this happens you can like caruso speak affirmatively and with a deep sense of authority to the irrational emotions generated in your deeper mind as follows be still be quiet i am in control you must obey me you are subject to my command you cannot intrude where you do not belong it is fascinating and intensely interesting to observe how you can speak authoritatively and with conviction to the irrational movement of your deeper self bringing silence harmony and peace to your mind the subconscious is subject to the conscious mind and that is why it is called subconscious or subjective outstanding differences and modes of operation you will perceive the main differences by the following illustrations the conscious mind is like the navigator or captain at the bridge of a ship he directs the ship and signals orders to men in the engine room who in turn control all the boilers instruments gauges etc the men in the engine room do not know where they're going they follow orders they would go on the rocks if the man on the bridge issued faulty or wrong instructions based on his findings with the compass sextant or other instruments the men in the engine room obey him because he is in charge and issues orders which are automatically obeyed members of the crew do not talk back to the captain they simply carry out orders the captain is the master of his ship and his decrees are carried out likewise your conscious mind is the captain and master of your ship which represents your body environment and all your affairs your subconscious mind takes the orders you give it based upon what your conscious mind believes and accepts as true when you repeatedly say to people i can't afford it then your subconscious mind takes that at your word and sees to it that you will not be in a position to purchase what you want as long as you persist in saying can't afford that car that trip to europe that home that fur coat or irmine wrap you can rest assured that your subconscious mind will follow your orders and you will go through life experiencing the lack of all these things last christmas eve a beautiful young university student looked at an attractive and rather expensive traveling bag in a store window she was going home to buffalo new york for the holidays she was about to say i can't afford that bag when she recalled something she had heard at one of my lectures which was never finish a negative statement reverse it immediately and wonders will happen in your life she said that bag is mine it is for sale i accept it mentally and my subconscious sees to it that i receive it at eight o'clock christmas eve her fiance presented her with a bag exactly the same as the one she had looked at and mentally identified herself with at 10 o'clock the same morning she had filled her mind with the thought of expectancy and released the whole thing to her deeper mind which has the know-how of accomplishment this young girl a student at the university of southern california said to me i didn't have the money to buy that bag but now i know where to find money and all the things i need and that is in the treasure house of eternity within me another simple illustration is this when you say i do not like mushrooms and the occasion subsequently comes to you that you are served mushrooms in sauces or salads you will get indigestion because your subconscious mind says to you the boss your conscious mind does not like mushrooms this is an amusing example of the outstanding differences in modes of operation of your conscious and subconscious minds a woman may say wake up at three o'clock if i drink coffee at night whenever she drinks coffee her subconscious mind nudges her as if to say the boss wants you to stay awake tonight your subconscious mind works 24 hours a day and makes provisions for your benefit pouring all the fruit of your habitual thinking into your lab how her subconscious responded a woman wrote me a few months ago as follows i am 75 years old a widow with a grown family i was living alone and on a pension i heard your lectures on the powers of the subconscious mind wherein you said that ideas could be conveyed to the subconscious mind by repetition faith and expectancy i began to repeat frequently with feeling i am wanted i am happily married to a kind loving and spiritual minded man i am secure i kept on doing this many times a day for about two weeks and one day at the corner drugstore i was introduced to a retired pharmacist i found to be kind understanding and very religious he was a perfect answer to my prayer within a week he proposed to me and now we're on our honeymoon in europe i know that the intelligence within my subconscious mind brought both of us together in divine order this woman discovered that the treasure house was within her her prayer was felt as true in her heart and her affirmation sank down by osmosis into her subconscious mind which is the creative medium the moment she succeeded in bringing about a subjective embodiment her subconscious mind brought about the answer through the law of attraction her deeper mind full of wisdom and intelligence brought both of them together in divine order be sure that you think on whatsoever things are true whatsoever things are honest whatsoever things are just whatsoever things are pure whatsoever things are lovely whatsoever things of good report if there be any virtue and if there be any praise think on these things philippians 4 8 brief summary of ideas worth remembering 1. the treasure house is within you look within for the answer to your heart's desire 2. 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 3. your subconscious has the answer to all problems if you suggest your subconscious prior to sleep and want to get up at 6 00 am it will awaken you at that exact time 4. 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 5. every thought is a cause and every condition is an effect 6. if you want to write a book write a wonderful play give a talk to your audience then convey the idea lovingly and feelingly to your subconscious mind and it will respond ingly 7. 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 eight 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 9. 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 ing to your belief it is done unto you 10. change your thoughts and you change your destiny chapter 2 how your mind works you have a mind and you should learn how to use it there are two levels of your mind the conscious or rational level and the subconscious or irrational level you think with your conscious mind and whatever you habitually think sinks down into your subconscious mind which creates ing to the nature of your thoughts your subconscious mind is the seat of your emotions and is the creative mind if you think good good will follow if you think evil evil will follow this is the way your mind works the main point to remember is once the subconscious mind accepts an idea it begins to execute it it is an interesting and subtle truth that the law of the subconscious mind works for good and bad ideas alike this law when applied in a negative way is the cause of failure frustration and unhappiness however when your habitual thinking is harmonious and constructive you experience perfect health success and prosperity peace of mind and a healthy body are inevitable when you begin to think and feel in the right way whatever you claim mentally and feel is true your subconscious mind will accept and bring forth into your experience 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 the position you desire you give the command or decree and your subconscious will faithfully reproduce the idea impressed upon it the law of your mind is this you will get a reaction or response from your subconscious mind ing to the nature of the thought or idea you hold in your conscious mind psychologists and psychiatrists point out that when thoughts are conveyed to your subconscious mind impressions are made in the brain cells as soon as your subconscious accepts any idea it proceeds to put it into effect immediately it works by association of ideas and uses every bit of knowledge that you have gathered in your lifetime to bring about its purpose it draws on the infinite power energy and wisdom within you it lines up all the laws of nature to get its way sometimes it seems to bring about an immediate solution to your difficulties but at other times it may take days weeks or longer its ways are past finding out conscious and subconscious terms differentiated you must remember that these are not two minds they are merely two spheres of activity within one mind your conscious mind is the reasoning mind it is that phase of mind which chooses for example you choose your books your home and your partner in life you make all your decisions with your conscious mind on the other hand without any conscious choice on your part your heart is kept functioning automatically and the process of digestion circulation and breathing are carried on by your subconscious mind through processes independent of your conscious control your subconscious mind accepts what is impressed upon it or what you consciously believe it does not reason things out like your conscious mind and it does not argue with you controversially your subconscious mind is like the soil which accepts any kind of seed good or bad your thoughts are active and might be likened unto seeds negative destructive thoughts continue to work negatively in your subconscious mind and in due time will come forth into outer experience which corresponds with them remember your subconscious mind does not engage in proving whether your thoughts are good or bad true or false but it responds ing to the nature of your thoughts or suggestions for example if you consciously assume something is true even though it may be false your subconscious mind will accept it as true and proceed to bring about results which must necessarily follow because you consciously assumed it to be true experiments by psychologists innumerable experiments by psychologists and others on persons in the hypnotic state have shown that the subconscious mind is incapable of making selections and comparisons which are necessary for a reasoning process they have shown repeatedly that your subconscious mind will accept any suggestions however false having once accepted any suggestion it responds ing to the nature of the suggestion given to illustrate the amenability of your subconscious mind to suggestion if a practiced hypnotist suggests to one of his subjects that he is napoleon bonaparte or even a cat or a dog he will act out the part with inimitable accuracy his personality becomes changed for the time being he believes himself to be whatever the operator tells him he is a skilled hypnotist may suggest to one of his students in the hypnotic state that his back itches to another that his nose is bleeding to another that he is a marble statue to another that he is freezing and the temperature is below zero each one will follow out the line of his particular suggestion totally oblivious to all his surroundings which do not pertain to his idea these simple illustrations portray clearly the difference between your conscious reasoning mind and your subconscious mind which is impersonal non-selective and accepts as true whatever your conscious mind believes to be true hence the importance of selecting thoughts ideas and premises which bless heal inspire and fill your soul with joy the terms objective and subjective mind clarified your conscious mind is sometimes referred to as your objective mind because it deals with outward objects the objective mind takes cognizance of the objective world its media of observation are your five physical senses your objective mind is your guide and director in your contact with your environment you gain knowledge through your five senses your objective mind learns through observation experience and education as previously pointed out the greatest function of the objective mind is that of reasoning suppose you are one of the thousands of tourists who come to los angeles annually you would come to the conclusion that it is a beautiful city based upon your observation of the parks pretty gardens majestic buildings and lovely homes this is the working of your objective mind your subconscious mind is oftentimes referred to as your subjective mind your subjective mind takes cognizance of its environment by means independent of the five senses your subjective mind perceives by intuition it is the seat of your emotion and the storehouse of memory your subjective mind performs its highest functions when your objective senses are in advance in a word it is that intelligence which makes itself manifest when the objective mind is suspended or in a sleepy drowsy state your subjective mind sees without the use of the natural organs of vision it has the capacity of clairvoyance and clairaudience your subjective mind can leave your body travel to distant lands and bring back information often times of the most exact and truthful character through your subjective mind you can read the thoughts of others read the contents of sealed envelopes and closed safes your subjective mind has the ability to apprehend the thoughts of others without the use of the ordinary objective means of communication it is of the greatest importance that we understand the interaction of the objective and subjective mind in order to learn the true art of prayer the subconscious cannot reason like your conscious mind your subconscious mind cannot argue controversially hence if you give it wrong suggestions it will accept them as true and will proceed to bring them to pass as conditions experiences and events all things that have happened to you are based on thoughts impressed on your subconscious mind through belief if you have conveyed erroneous concepts to your subconscious mind the sure method of overcoming them is by the repetition of constructive harmonious thoughts frequently repeated which your subconscious mind accepts thus forming new and healthy habits of thought and life for your subconscious mind is the seat of habit the habitual thinking of your conscious mind establishes deep grooves in your subconscious mind this is very favorable for you if your habitual thoughts are harmonious peaceful and constructive if you have indulged in fear worry and other destructive forms of thinking the remedy is to recognize the omnipotence of your subconscious mind and decree freedom happiness and perfect health your subconscious mind being creative and one with your divine source will proceed to create the freedom and happiness which you have earnestly decreed the tremendous power of suggestion you must realize by now that your conscious mind is the watchman at the gate and its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions you are now aware of one of the basic laws of mind your subconscious mind is amenable to suggestion as you know your subconscious mind does not make comparisons or contrasts neither does it reason and think things out for itself this latter function belongs to your conscious mind it simply reacts to the impressions given to it by your conscious mind it does not show a preference for one course of action over another the following is a classic example of the tremendous power of suggestion suppose you approach a timid-looking passenger on board ship and say to him something like this you look very ill how pale you are i feel certain you are going to be seasick let me help you to your cabin the passenger turns pale your suggestion of seasickness associates itself with his own fears and forebodings he accepts your aid down to the birth and there your negative suggestion which was accepted by him is realized different reactions to the same suggestion it is true that different people will react in different ways to the same suggestion because of their subconscious conditioning or belief for example if you go to a sailor on the ship and say to him sympathetically my dear fellow you're looking very ill aren't you feeling sick you look to me as if you were going to be seasick ing to his temperament he either laughs at your joke or expresses a mild irritation your suggestion fell on deaf ears in this instance because your suggestion of seasickness was associated in his mind with his own immunity from it therefore it called up not fear or worry but self-confidence the dictionary says that a suggestion is the act or instance of putting something into one's mind the mental process by which the thought or idea suggested is entertained accepted or put into effect you must remember that a suggestion cannot impose something on the subconscious mind against the will of the conscious mind in other words your conscious mind has the power to reject the suggestion given in the case of the sailor he had no fear of seasickness he had convinced himself of his immunity and the negative suggestion had absolutely no power to evoke fear the suggestion of seasickness to the other passenger called forth his indwelling fear of seasickness each of us has his own interferes beliefs opinions and these inner assumptions rule and govern our lives a suggestion has no power in and of itself except it is accepted mentally by you this causes your subconscious powers to flow in a limited and restricted way ing to the nature of the suggestion how he lost his arm every two or three years i give a series of lectures at the london truth forum in caxton hall this is a forum i founded a number of years ago dr evelyn fleet the director told me about an article which appeared in the english newspapers dealing with the power of suggestion this is the suggestion a man gave to his subconscious mind over

each country of the earth in many parts of the world it is the controlling power in religion suggestion may be used to discipline and control ourselves but it can also be used to take control and command over others who do not know the laws of mind in its constructive form it is wonderful and magnificent in its negative aspects it is one of the most destructive of all the response patterns of the mind resulting in patterns of misery failure suffering sickness and disaster have you accepted any of these from infancy on the majority of us have been given many negative suggestions not knowing how to thwart them we unconsciously accept them here are some of the negative suggestions you can't you'll never amount to anything you mustn't you'll fail you haven't got a chance you're all wrong it's no use it's not what you know but who you know the world is going to the dogs what's the use nobody cares it's no use trying so hard you're too old now things are getting worse and worse life is

on the negative suggestions that people make to you you do not have to be influenced by destructive heterosuggestion all of us have suffered from it in our childhood and in our teens if you look back you can easily recall how parents friends relatives teachers and associates contributed in a campaign of negative suggestions study the things said to you and you will discover much of it was in the form of propaganda the purpose of much of what was said was to control you or instill fear into you this heterosuggestion process goes on in every home office factory and club you will find that many of these suggestions are for the purpose of making you think feel and act as others want you to and in ways that are to their advantage how suggestion killed a man here is an illustration of heterosuggestion a relative of mine went to a crystal gazer in india who told him that he had a bad heart and predicted that he would die in the next new moon he began to tell all members of his family about this prediction and he arranged his will this powerful suggestion entered into a subconscious mind because he accepted it completely my relative also told me that his crystal gazer was believed to have some strange occult powers and he could do harm or good to a person he died as predicted not knowing that he was the cause of his own death i suppose many of us have heard similar stupid ridiculous superstitious stories let us look at what happened in the light of our knowledge of the way the subconscious mind works whatever the conscious reasoning mind of man believes the subconscious mind will accept and act upon my relative was happy healthy vigorous and robust when he went to see the fortune teller she gave him a very negative suggestion which he accepted he became terrified and constantly dwelt upon the fact that he was going to die at the next new moon he proceeded to tell everyone about it and he prepared for the end the activity took place in his own mind and his own thought was the cause he brought about his own so-called death or rather destruction of the physical body by his fear and expectation of the end the woman who predicted his death had no more power than the stones and sticks in the field her suggestion had no power to create or bring about the end she suggested if he had known the laws of his mind he would have completely rejected the negative suggestion and refused to give her words any attention knowing in his heart that he was governed and controlled by his own thought and feeling like tin arrows aimed at a battleship her prophecy could have been completely neutralized and dissipated without hurting him the suggestions of others in themselves have absolutely no power whatever over you accept the power that you give them through your own thoughts you have to give your mental consent you have to entertain the thought then it becomes your thought and you do the thinking remember you have the capacity to choose choose life choose love choose health choose abundance the power of an assumed major premise your mind works like a syllogism this means that whatever major premise your conscious mind assumes to be true determines the conclusion your subconscious mind comes to in regard to any particular question or problem in your mind if your premise is true the conclusion must be true as in the following example every virtue is laudable kindness is a virtue therefore kindness is laudable another example is as follows all formed things change and pass away the pyramids of egypt are formed things therefore someday the pyramids will pass away the first statement is referred to as a major premise and the right conclusion must necessarily follow the right premise a college professor who attended some of my science of mind lectures in may 1962 at town hall new york said to me everything in my life is topsy-turvy and i've lost health wealth and friends everything i touch turns out wrong i explained to him that he should establish a major premise in his thinking that the infinite intelligence of his subconscious mind was guiding directing and prospering him spiritually mentally and materially then his subconscious mind would automatically direct him wisely in his investments decisions and also heal his body and restore his mind to peace and tranquility the professor formulated an overall picture of the way he wanted his life to be and this was his major premise quote infinite intelligence leads and guides me in all my ways perfect health is mine and the law of harmony operates in my mind and body beauty love peace and abundance are mine the principle of right action and divine order govern my entire life i know my major premise is based on the eternal truths of life and i know feel and believe that my subconscious mind responds ing to the nature of my conscious mind thinking unquote he wrote me as follows i repeated the above statement slowly quietly and

me about dr james esdail a scotch surgeon who worked in bengal before ether or other modern methods of anesthesia were discovered between 1843 and 1846 dr esdail performed about 400 major operations of all kinds such as amputations removal of tumors and cancerous growths as well as operations on the eye ear and throat all operations were conducted under mental anesthesia only this indian doctor at rishikesh informed me that the post-operative mortality rate of patients operated on by dr esdail was extremely low probably two or three percent patients felt no pain and there were no deaths during the operations dr esdail suggested to the subconscious minds of all his patients who were in a hypnotic state that no infection or septic condition would develop you must remember that this was before louis pasteur joseph lister and others who pointed out the bacterial origin of disease and causes of infection due to unsterilized instruments and virulent organisms this indian surgeon said that the reason for the low mortality rate and the general absence of infection which was reduced to a minimum was undoubtedly due to the suggestions of dr esdail to the subconscious minds of his patients they responded ing to the nature of his suggestion it is simply wonderful when you conceive how a surgeon over 120 years ago discovered the miraculous wonder working powers of the

reasoning mind when your conscious or objective mind accepts the thought completely it is sent to the solar plexus called the brain of your mind where it becomes flesh and is made manifest in your experience as previously outlined your subconscious cannot argue it acts only from what you write on it it accepts your verdict or the conclusions of your conscious mind as final this is why you are always writing on the book of life because your thoughts become your experiences the american essayist ralph waldo emerson said quote man is what he thinks all day long unquote what is impressed in the subconscious is expressed william james the father of american psychology said that the power to move the world is in your subconscious mind your subconscious mind is one with infinite
