1. POWER OF THOUGHT

2. How To Control What Happens To You This book reveals the secret of attaining success in any activity of your life. In particular, it tells how you can turn an unsuccessful business into a prosperous one, how you can solve problems which appear to be insurmountable at the time and how you can attract just the right person in your life. All of these activities are accomplished by how you think and how you use the enormous power of the mind. By Eugene Maurey

3. The Conscious Mind is that portion of the mind (as distinct from the brain) which weighs the input and facts available to make decisions. The Subconscious Mind is also known as the subjective or the unconscious. This is the area of the mind where all emotions and feelings reside. The Superconscious Mind is that part of the mind which possess infinite intelligence and all creative power, available everywhere all the time.

4. Most important, the conscious mind is the decision maker. The subconscious comes into play when a person is in deep thought or is concentrating. Unlike the conscious mind, it cannot make decisions. The Superconscious Mind is that part of the mind which possess infinite intelligence and all creative power, available everywhere all the time

5. Law of thought The law simply states: WHATEVER YOU THINK AND BELIEVE, THAT IS YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

6. The quality of your life is entirely due to your thinking. Your thoughts create the things and events in your life.

7. WATCH THOSE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS! Great care must be practiced in what you think and say. If you desire good things, positive thoughts in that direction will create them for you. If you think something can happen, it will happen. The key to neutralizing a negative thought is to acknowledge its possibility but to add the thought, “But it won’t happen to me!

8. Some people use the expression, “Cancel, Cancel!” to clear their minds of a negative thought. Wouldn’t it be great to have only good things happen to you!

9. POWER OF A NEGATIVE THOUGHT Often an unknown element can be a stumbling block to your success. Negative persons may be around you who with their negative thinking are either quietly or loudly negating everything that you are trying to do. A negative thought follows the same law as a positive one. Whatever a negative person thinks and believes will surely manifest in his/her world.

10. Such thoughts can be powerful indeed. Therefore, one must ever be vigilant to guard against the negative thinking of other. Negative people in your personal life or in your work place do much to destroy the success of what you wish to accomplish. Such people in business are a burden to the operation, retarding both the progress and prosperity of the business.

11. Speaking from experience, my advice is to run when you see them coming! Let me give you an actual case. In my business the people are positive minded. Their vocabularies are devoid of such words as “if”, “maybe”, “perhaps” or “I’ll try”. As a result of their positive mental attitude, the business is doing well.

12. PRACTICING THE MYSTERY One of the most powerful tools you can use to speed up the process of achieving a desire is to visualize what you want as already being your.

14. Put into your belief strong feelings of love, joy, harmony, prosperity, great satisfaction or other positive emotion associated with the event.

15. Concentrate on having what you desire.

17. USING THE LAW We note the interesting relationship between the three parts of our mind but what is not immediately apparent is that the Superconscious Mind is the same Mind that we all have. This means that we are all of that Mind; It can’t be doled out a little here and little there. The conclusion must be that if this is so – that we are sharing together this same Mind – Then you know all about me and I know all about you.

18. THE IMPORTANCE OF FORGETTING When we first start thinking about applying the laws of the mind to our daily tasks and problems, many of us have doubts. You follow the instructions to the letter; you relax, you have a good idea what you wish to accomplish, you put feeling into it and expect it to happen. You have done everything correctly. Later you say to yourself, “Perhaps I missed something. Did I do anything wrong? Maybe it won’t hurt to review my thoughts and perhaps do the work better.”

19. Do your programming once and then completely dismiss it from your mind. Forgetting is the most difficult thing you must learn to do. If you planted the seed, would you keep digging it up to see if it is growing? WITH A LITTLE CARE, A ROSE WILL GROW ANYWHERE

20. COLLECTING EGGCUPS You ask, “Yes, perhaps you can produce what you need in your life, but no matter how positive I try to be, I am always broke.” Or: “I tried your methods to help my financial problem, yet I’m always in debt.”

21. The solution to such a problem comes in three parts. To begin with, you should start with something small and easy to believe, things that you can readily accept. Avoid trying to win instant millions in the lottery. This is difficult to believe. You may be able to do that sort of this later. You may start, for instance, wanting information on something that interests you.

22. Think this way: Know that it will be forthcoming, say in three days. Then dismiss the thought. The information will come to you. It may come from a book you happened to pick up, from a chance conversation or from an inspirational thought. You may desire to acquire an unusually object.

23. For example, not long ago I wanted to buy eggcups yet none of the clerks in the department stores I visited had even heard of eggcups. After many futile inquiries, I gave up hunting for them and dismissed the matter from my mind. A few days later I went to a flea market. I stopped at a booth with a motley collection of chinaware. With a positive thought, I spoke to the saleslady. “You have an eggcup somewhere, let’s see it.” “Oh yes”, she replied, “here it is” I had my eggcup and from then on whatever I went I seemed to acquire eggcups.

24. QUANTUM JUMP At times in our lives we are faced with what appear to be insurmountable problems. I can recall that when I was a child, some problems seemed crushing… These were real problems then, yet somehow I survived them. Today, as adults we look back at such problems perhaps with amusement as they don’t compare with our present day almost overwhelming situations. Let us reflect upon the big problems that we have solved. We all can recall situations that placed us in awkward, often stressful predicaments. Yet, as we look back at them, we take pride in the fact that we did come up with the successful solution to the problem.

25. … “We are never given a problem that we cannot solve. The more difficult the problem that is given us, the greater our opportunity for spiritual growth.” YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN
