Follow these methods and you will have the world any way you want, guaranteed. It is foolproof, it is fail proof. And now, ACT AS IF. I have developed a program for those who suffer from, and thats many of you, lack of love, lack of money, poor health, not having a feeling of power, and personal expression, and most of all low self esteem. With the ACT AS IF method I will illustrate a way for you to live your life with joy, love, lots of money, total health, power and freedom.

I mean joy, love, money, freedom, success in any endeavor you may have dreamed of. Your dreams will come true. And I will show you how to ACT AS IF step by step. THE WAY OF ACT AS IF When you ACT AS IF, you turn away from any bad or unpleasant situation, Something could have happened a year ago, or maybe 20 years ago that caused you to create a belief, a belief about yourself. As long as you still have that belief, look at it as true, you will not overcome it. By continuing this belief and give it life of thought, you perpetuate it and cause it to grow so that ultimately it will be true. ACTING AS IF is the science of inducing within mind, the concepts of peace, joy, wealth, health, love, and self expression-or whatever your need might be.

To ACT AS IF you do not need to change your life by force of will.; To ACT AS IF I will teach you that it is within ourselves to carve an avenue through which life will flow. ACTING AS IF and believing so opens the venues of thought, expands the conscious and subconscious mind, and allows you to receive your indisputable reality. Youll know how you shall live, it clarifies your mind, removes all mental obstacles, brings on the light; removes doubt and fear, and when this life force presents itself you will recognize the presence of spirit. Every problem is mental, and every solution can only be found in spiritual realization.

AS YOU SAY SO BE IT Once you make firm statements about yourself-declare your truth and understand that you are a divine being, complete, happy and filled with all good things in life, you are beginning to ACT AS IF. Im not someone who people like you might say. If you are not happy hearing yourself say this, then that is not your truth. Free yourself from this condition, ACT AS IF everyone is your friend and see how true it becomes. THIS IS NOW THE TRUTH, and this is science. When people see you transform, and they will, theyll think it miraculous. It is only a miracle as everything else is in life. When you ACT AS IF you have set a spiritual idea in motion in the definitive concrete world. A narrow world of people who mostly can only judge ideas subjectively. A world that increasingly embraces the material and has been losing its accordance with the divine. IF YOU DON'T CREATE YOURSELF, SOMEONE WILL CREATE YOU If you accept negativity from people you will become just that a negative unhappy person. Worries and negatives are given out like candy these days. Letting someone tell you over and over again youre nothing you
2

will become nothing. If you find yourself carrying dead weight drop it, whether it is business or romantic or personal. Find people who lift you up and back you up

WATCH WHAT YOU SAY When you state the two important words --I am -- that is what you either are or will be. However you state -- I am -- and whatever you put after it, will become your life. An example, if you state I am tired, I am not feeling so well, I am a failure, I am not really ready for this. Then all this about you IS true. This will manifest your life. Keep in mind that your subconscious mind is like a computer, whatever you program into it will reveal itself to be true. GIGO is a famous computer axiom meaning Garbage in garbage out. If invalid data is entered into a system, the resulting output will also be invalid. This axiom holds true for all systems, including, for example, decisionmaking systems. That is how the mind works; GIGO. If you feed your subconscious negative programs you cannot have positive experiences. Thats how the subconscious mind works. So I am going to tell you how to ACT AS IF and you'll life will start changing immediately. When you state negative; I am , whatever you are feeling that day, headache, toothache, bad breakup, you will experience negative. When you state positive; I am feeling great, and I am expecting great things to happen you will change your reality and allow for the positive to prevail. You need to deny all the negative feelings that you have, you need to say all these negative feelings that I have about myself are gone. Once you affirm the positive, make optimistic outlooks your state of mind, positive results will envelope you. You can state I am a charming person and people like me. Or I am a dolt and wish I was popular
3

you choose the truth about yourself. As I always say and I will say for the rest of my life because it is so true, ACT AS IF and it will be done on to as you believe. So to restate how to ACT AS IF so thats it will engrain itself in your mind, heart, body and soul you must take a strong positive stand and ACT that something already IS. It is the belief that something has happened before it ever does. And it we are so. ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE One of the quickest and best ways to change your life is to watch what you ask yourself. That makes all the difference. What you ask for you will receive; when you ask yourself destructive questions, such as, Why me? Why can't I find the right person? How will I ever pay these bills? Questions such as these destroy your subconscious power to create the good. If you ask negative questions, you will get negative answers. The subconscious mind is impersonal, never forget that. Your subconscious mind is always at your service, and whatever question you ask it, it will come up with an answer. So when you ask it, why can't I? The answer to a negative question will always bring the same dismal answer, "Because you don't deserve it." Same is true when you switch to positive questions like, how can I make the most of this, how can I find great success? Positive questions bring powerful positive directions that are real and well deserved by anyone, for everyone is entitled.

THOU SHALT NOT BE COMPLACENT Being complacent is detrimental to your mind and to every area of your life; Complacency has no space in the creative process that surely will bring you all good. Complacency is in fact a dangerous destructive disease. You may become a casualty of complacency, maybe your entire life. If this is true you are mentally, physically and spiritually living in a disaster unaware of your failing. You are drifting, not creating. You have become relaxed in self-satisfaction of routines and have closed
4

yourself off from new ideas. You have subconsciously eliminated yourself from participation in life. You may state all the great things you've done and all the value of your present life. Yet in your heart and soul you feel as though you are a failure. The truth has been looking right in your face and yet you have closed your eyes. And why? GOALS, a word that frightens many. I dare you to think, I challenge you to dream. Nothing is impossible for anyone who decides on possibility. The infinite responds by corresponding resolve and determination. Become the thing that you aspire to and ACTED AS IF and so you became. For example, you want to be a great writer, and then see in your minds eye the finished book, the people who ask you to autograph their copy for them. You want to be a painter, then visualize your work beautifully framed, hanging in a gallery where elegant patrons are complimenting your originality, your colors, your style, while sipping fine wine and eating fine hors d'oeuvre. If this is what you want, this will happen when you ACT AS IF now start writing and/or painting. Your life is subject to change the moment you make the decision that it can change now. All you need do is put new and great ideas in your mind, and you will arise to a new and great life. The important thing is vision before decision.

IT WORKS LIKE THIS Silently, while daydreaming, Acting As If -- IT -- has already happened, will program your subconscious mind. Soon the shape of your dreams will become a reality in your life. And I guarantee that what you program into your sub conscious mind through conscious thought will become the reality in your life. There are no exceptions, no exemptions. This is true for every body out there. There are no excuses; excuses are not going to help. If you want
5

a better life you have to ACT AS IF you have to already happen and it will. And here is how to ACT AS IF.

KNOW OF WHAT YOU SEE You see this all the time. You see it everywhere. People who are sick, people who have no money, people who don't have good relationships in their lives, and people who feel powerless. It is all just feelings. The more you put your mind and attention into those negative feelings, the more negative outcomes will manifest in your life. So what you have to do is immediately go to the opposite. If you are having money problems you have to state the opposite. Negate the negative saying okay my money problems are over, I am now a success, that I am going to be a success, I am now a success. Visualize your success. For each person success is different, create a channel for your success, and proceed through that channel toward the light at the end of the tunnel. You may want success with money, with love, with work, with family. Only by visualizing that light can you know what youre proceeding toward. ACT AS IF you already finished the journey, but proceed in the direction one step at a time. (Example here) If you are not feeling well, which does occasionally happen, do not get trapped into the world of illness and sickness. Understand that sickness is an excuse for not having to deal with your life. And understand that when you deal with your life, you will be dealing with a joyous, prosperous love filled life.

AVOIDING VICTIM MENTALITY Right now, in this moment, in this country, and in this world, is the biggest victim mentality consciousness going. Victimization is selling at a wholesale level to anyone who is buying. And I can tell you these rights now STOP buying. Every television commercial is some new drug, for some new problem or some new disorder. If you hear this often enough you will start experiencing the symptoms that the advertisers need you to experience so that you will buy what theyre selling. If youre not guarded your going to start having symptoms of
6

social anxiety disorder, adult attention deficit disorder, dry eyes, thinning hair, the agony of fungus of the feet. Soon disorders you never knew you had feed into your mind consciously, then go into your subconscious mind and can soon consume your life. Until you believe that you in fact need to be fixed, and until then, Ill bet you didnt know you were broken. Do not subscribe to the new trend of victim mentality. It seems almost forgotten but everyone is a born winner. You have got to realize you are a born winner and start saying to yourself over and over again, I am a winner, I have love, I have life, I have joy, I have freedom and that will start programming your subconscious mind. And here is how you start, here is how you really ACT AS IF. WATCH OUT FOR VICTIM PROGRAMING WHAT IS PLANTED WILL GROW If you were to plant apple seeds you would grow apples, same as if you planted any other seed, this is also true of the subconscious mind if you plant a seed of misery, illness, poverty, and loneliness they will grow, and they will grow in proportion to the amount of time you water and feed them by entertaining these thoughts. Same is true of positive thought, seeds of joy, love, peace, prosperity, and all the good things in life will grow just as well and fast. The subconscious mind does not know nor care what is planted, it will let it grow. So pay very close attention to your garden, AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REEP.

AN EASY START An easy one, just change your posture to a winning posture, force it if you have to. Straighten up and bring your shoulders back and start feeding your mind positive thoughts. Put good thoughts and the great expectations that you already have into your mind and guess what, positive things will start happening to you within an hour or two, maybe less, and maybe it will happen immediately. Straightening up, say yes, I am one with life, I am joy, freedom, peace, whatever you want and ACT AS IF you already have it and you'll start to see doors opening. Here is a great way to test yourself.

SO SAY UNTO YOURSELF

7

Say unto yourself every chance you get I AM health, I AM Joy, I AM rich, I AM in a great relationship, whatever you want, state that you are and so it will be done unto you. At the same time say to yourself I NOW NEGATE ALL NEGATIVES in my subconscious mind. You must get rid of negatives, always remember to negate them.

A SIMPLE TEST This is a very powerful test, and it will show you what you are all about. To test yourself, go out and buy something you want, just for yourself, not for the family, not for the house, not for friends, just for yourself. See if you do not get a feeling of either guilt or non entitlement or I shouldn't have done that, yes you should do that and yes you deserve it. Why would you be undeserving? It all comes down to self entitlement. And a great way to get over that block is to go out a buy something for yourself and catch yourself when you start to feel guilty or regret that you did it. There are no regrets, you did something good for yourself, and you deserve it. The important point is watch, because in 99% of anybody who does this there is a residual feeling of guilt or oh I shouldn't have or why did I buy this for myself, I didnt really need it. Oh yes you did. You did need it because it is setting you in motion for a much better life. You deserve the best, you deserve things for yourself, and do not deserve the punishment of self inflicted guilt and suffering because you did something nice for yourself. Unfortunately, the mind of most people has drifted into this type of mentality. By catching it and negating it and saying yes I do deserve it, next time I'm going to get myself something better you are pulling yourself out of that negative spiral. And into a positive way of living.

GO TO THE OPPOSITE AND THINGS CHANGE Now do this, ACT AS IF you are in a good mood and keep saying to yourself, I'm in a good mood and I'm feeling great when you arent in a good mood. Keep doing this when you wake up in a bad mood, when you wake up frustrated or angry or miserable or mad at the world,
8

immediately, start acting as if you are in a good mood. Straighten up, walk around and keep thinking I'm in a great mood; I'm feeling really good about myself and watch how fast your mood will change. And it will if you start visualizing the best all possible life you can ever live, and ever want to live. And keep thinking that you already have it. Watch. IT will to start to happen to you immediately.

CHANGING YOURSELF It is that simple. It's not as though you are tricking yourself, what you are doing is reactivating and reprogramming you subconscious mind. And when you program your subconscious your mind, good things have to manifest because the subconscious mind is foolproof. That is how it works. Your subconscious mind does not care what you program into it but you will experience positive results if you put in good thoughts, great ideas, great aspirations and most importantly, great beliefs. Your belief and your ability to ACT AS IF you already have something will prove itself a certainty in your life and quite quickly.

DEALING WITH A BAD SITUATION So when a bad situation comes up you must immediately mentally embrace the opposite. There are many ways, so many ways, of taking a bad situation and turning it around. And so many of you are taking a bad situation and letting your mind accept it. It's you let, you let, and you have complete and unlimited control in this area of what you let your mind accept. And what it accepts will manifest in your life. So if a bad situation comes up, lets say you smash your car, if you accept oh I'm a bad driver oh I'm worried about my insurance rates going up, I'm worried about this, no you must go to the opposite. As soon as something bad happens say to yourself, okay, these things happen. Because it happened and you can't change it, you can change the way you think about it and say okay, it happened, I'll get a better car, I'll get it fixed, things are going to be wonderful- things are going to be great. Your mind will receive it, your subconscious mind will program it and your life will experience it. SO you always must take a bad situation and
9

turn it around by not letting your mind accept the negative. Look for the positive. If your house is burnt down, I'm using an extreme example here. Complaining is not going to bring it back; kicking over garbage cans in the street is not going to bring it back. But by believing, I'll find a better house, and nothing is going to stop me because I believe I already have one. You will have one.

LOVE THYSELF AND OTHERS WILL FOLLOW Now how to ACT AS IF in the situation of love. And this is just one example. You have to start, not by falling in love with any member of the opposite sex, and wondering why aren't things working out. You just dont have to worry about that anymore because I am going to tell you why things arent working out. You must fall in love with yourself first. When you love yourself first you will feel deserving of the love you receive from others. And the love you receive from others will come in the exact proportion to the love you give to yourself. (This is not narcissism) If you treat yourself well, mentally, emotionally, and physically you can't be helped but be loved back in the same way. If you treat yourself poorly how can you expect others to treat you well. If you feel undeserving you will never be able accept love that is given. A heartfelt acceptance of love is pleasure experienced by both the giver and the receiver. How ever much you accept and love yourself you will be loved in return by others. (Giving love back)

APPLYING THE ACT AS IF PRINCIPLE A simple example, if you believe and ACT AS IF, you are rich, your are healthy, you have freedom to do whatever you want, you have joy, you have power, if you ACT AS IF on this, and believe it and keep telling yourself that you are, you will become. Now you might be saying to yourself, well how. How am I ever going to become rich? I have no opportunities, I have nothing going for me, and I am broke. How, given the circumstances am I ever going to have money or become rich? I will tell you how.

10

If you ACT AS IF you are rich, if you convince yourself watch how the doors of opportunity begin to open, and they will. So long as you believe you are, you will be. That is what this is all about. This is the power of knowing how to ACT AS IF. Despite circumstances, you must stay focused on the fact that you must ACT AS IF you already have what you don't. In reality you do already have it. (Need example here) By focusing on and staying on what I said, every opportunity in the world will come your way. And one of the good things about it is once you become rich, and you will, you won't even remember when you ever struggled. That is the power of the subconscious mind. The positive will always burry the negative, as long you stay focused on the positive, the negative seems like oh yea that was ages ago, centuries ago, the positive will erase the negative. They both cannot exist in the same space. So you must ACT AS IF and I will keep saying this again, because it is that important, that you already have good things, and you will get good things. SOMETHING THAT WORKS A simple technique that never fails, Try this and watch how fast it works. As you are falling asleep keep saying to yourself every day and in every way I get better, better, and better, or everyday and in every way I get richer, richer and richer. This works because the subconscious mind will take immediate action on this.

RESPECT UNTO OTHERS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE Here is another technique that will really help build up your self-esteem. It's a simple easy thing to do. Giving respect to other people. Like good morning sir, hello ma'am, may I help you, its great to hear from you, its always great to see you, you did a great job, its always good to have you around, its great to see you again, -- things like that where even if in some cases you don't mean it. But by giving respect to other people, gives you a lot of personal power. And will bring respect back to you ten fold. It is a great feeling and people look forward to seeing you when you give them respect. And people, all people, deserve respect. No matter what their rotten life is. Find something about them and let

11

them know you respect something about them. Be it their opinion what have you, it will teach you self respect.

ADD ENTHUSIASM Now, add to that enthusiasm. Instead of how you are, or what's up-, thats how most people blandly communicate. Give people the gift of letting them know what joy they bring to your life. When you see somebody say HEY great to see you, you just made my day. Start the enthusiasm going and it will build on its own momentum just because you activated it. You're just hitting the button to turn it on. So when you see anybody, anybody from the past, say hey I haven't seen you in years, you look fantastic, send them the message that you make me feel great being around you you be the one to bring the rare gift of enthusiasm and joy to life. To their life, to your life and youll be a hero because of it. Do not get caught up in this crazy media hype going on now about, victimizations, If you think theres something wrong with you because you cannot afford the most expensive cars, designer clothes, exotic vacations does not make you a victim. Because your life doesnt look like the lifestyle of the rich and famous, isnt as gorgeous as the magazine spreads who try to convince you that you are totally stressed out and in need of a makeover does not mean you are a victim. The lifestyle sold to you through the media is designed to make you feel inadequate. It is driven by the need of advertisers to sell you a solution to all your problems. Do you have social anxiety disorder? A mental illness that once upon a timed was called shyness. Well now theres a pill to cure shyness, and for every new medication that can find FDA approval a new disorder will be recognized. A little experiment was done a while back. They took a few people out and they picked a victim and they said are you feeling okay today? She said yea I'm feeling find. And they asked her again something different, would you like a glass of water? Are you sure you're okay? I'll take a glass of water, I'm not completely sure, maybe a little off today. BY the time the fifth person asked her, if she was
12

alright, she called an ambulance. That is how you get caught up in letting the negatives take over your system. The positives are just as easy and you dont need 5 outside agitators to do it. So long as someone else has the power to make you feel inadequate, you give them the power to convince you that those problems can be solved by separating you from your hard earned money. Remember, not having the latest and the greatest or being the skinniest and the prettiest, the strongest or the buffest does not make you a victim. You are only a victim if you buy into the idea that you have no control of your own destiny and that you need to be fixed. ACT AS IF you are not a victim and you will not become a victim. Once you start getting caught up in the medias hype, again I'm going to address the subconscious mind here, , you put the idea of being a victim into your mind, your subconscious mind takes it in and it manifests in your life and soon you will become a victim. You dont want that, I dont want that. I don't want that for you. You cannot allow this media hype, victimization mentality to enter in your subconscious mind. Here are some easy solutions, change the channel, laugh it off the media desperation to snag you, is another one, find or create your own culture among friends who dont buy into the culture of the medias greedy self serving messages. The important thing is to say to yourself I am not a victim I am a winner and I always will be a winner. So it is my life and it will be in your life. They got ads coming out daily with more mental illnesses, why, simply to sell medication for it and it will draw you in. What is good about this, it can be done in the privacy in your own home and done all by yourself. Just by knowing how to ACT AS IF. And there are more examples coming right now on how to ACT AS IF to improve your life.

BE IN THIS WORLD NOT OF THIS WORLD See I think we are living in very crazy times these days. Where all of us are supposed to be on medication for something. Are we all supposed to be sedated or calm? Are you calm? Are you feeling relaxed? Well Im not and I dont want to be. I have my own opinion about sedation

13

and relaxation. I dont want to be on medication. I want to feel wildly enthusiastic with the joy and experience all that life has to offer. And If I were to take medication in order to never feel the downside of life I would also eliminate the means and perhaps the ability to feel pure pleasure and the kind of joy that can only be appreciated when one can feel the gamut of human emotions, whatever they are and know that I am indeed alive. Joy and the enthusiasm and the freedom to be who you want in life, does not come in pills- that comes from you. And only from you. And everybody, everybody, has the same amount of power to make it their life happen. No body has more, nobody has less everybody has their own. We are all born with the same amount of power and ability to know how to ACT AS IF and make it happen in our life. True, you can't ACT AS IF you're taller or shorter, and there are a lot of givens, but what Im talking about transcends the givens, because no matter what, life is enjoyable. Life is great. Life is wonderful. Keep saying that to yourself. You'll believe it, it will become true, and it will become your life. and avoid all this negative reinforcement.

IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE TO CHANGE A LOT If you only spend just a few minutes a day, acting as if your life is going to change for the better, and believing it to be so, it will become so. Immediately, thats how fast acting as if works. What makes ACTING AS IF and knowing how to ACT AS IF, different than any other book on the market is simple. How to ACT AS IF, gives you ways to actually ACT AS IF and see your life change. Not just reading about it. Not just understanding it, but by doing it. And that is a big difference. You got to do these things and when you see results you will do more, and more and more and more. Because the rewards keep getting better and better and better.

THE SOURE OF MOST PROBLEMS

14

Now I'm going to tell you where most of your problems comes from. I have some clients who are billionaires, billionaires, and they are miserable. Well, I should say they were miserable. I helped them change that. Because I knew where their problems were coming from. Now you might be wondering how could a guy or a woman who has billions of dollars be unhappy. No mysteries, I will give you the answers right now. They felt they were not entitled to what they had, and therefore felt guilty and had to impose punishment upon themselves. And this is the big core of why so many problems are manifesting in so many people. It is that belief of non entitlement and that all that one has gained is underserved. I don't need to do a 3 hour lecture here to say, yes you do deserve it. No matter what you did in the past, cannot be changed. But the way you think right now, you can change, right now. When you start to say I am entitled to a great life, I am entitled to a great romantic life, it will happen. I am entitled to a great financial life and entitled to enjoy it then you will enjoy it. I am entitled to great health, you will have it. You got to say these things over and over again with the belief that you already have them. And especially that you are entitled to have them.

PROOF OF LIFE SEEKING GROWTH Lets to take a look at concrete for a second. Have you ever noticed a little plant, a little blade of grass in the midst of concrete, a little crack, in the concrete there is a little plant growing out. That is like seeking the energy of life. And because it is a plant, it does not have a feeling of non entitlement. It will try to grow, it will try to blossom, despite all odds, It will grow. You are so much more than that and you are capable of so much more than that if you could only say to yourself, and you can, I am entitled to. and whatever you add to that, you will have.

WHERE ILLNESS COMES FROM All diseases start first in the mind, into the subconscious mind and into the body, change the way you think. And you'll life will change. Here are some ways to use how to ACT AS IF to immediately you change the way you think and the results comes instantly. Start by changing small
15

patterns in your life. By doing this you begin to change your life. I'm talking about simple easy things here. Such as dressing differently, or driving home a new way. Doing things in a way you havent done before. This is an exercise to show you how flexible your mind really is despite what you may believe, this will show you different. SO change patterns in your life. If you put on your pants first, start by putting on your shirt first. Any pattern, change it, it just shows you, and shows your subconscious mind there's a new way to program your mind and change and you can start it now. Start by changing the small patterns in your life. Becoming enthusiastic about little changes and soon youll make more and more changes and youll see your enthusiasm grow. . And that grows, and then big things comes, and the enthusiasm grows, and then bigger things come, and there's no limit to where it is so you can go on forever, but it gets bigger and better in all areas. The four main areas that people suffer from are lack of love, lack of money, lack of health, and lack of personal expression. Well those are ending right now. By knowing, just by knowing, that the universe is unlimited and it is science has proven that, that means you are unlimited.

THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE There's not the universe and there's you. There is the universe and you're included in it. If the universe be unlimited then you must be unlimited. Which means as the universe is always creating you can create your own life. Start by walking and carrying yourself like a winner. Believing yourself to be a winner. Despite whatever situation youre in right now, doesn't make a difference. And you will become a winner. It's not that I'm personally guaranteeing it, it is the laws of the universe that guarantee this. It is the way the subconscious mind works that guarantees it. It is the way life itself works that guarantees it. You cannot have a positive life when you think yourself negative thoughts. On the opposite you cannot have a negative life when you keep feeding yourself with positive thoughts and ideas. So do this. When something good happens to you immediately say to yourself I deserve this and I deserve more. Say it, believe it and guess what you will get more and it will come fast.
16

Now mixing acting as if with enthusiasm you own the world. There are a lot of negative people out there. Do not let them program you, your mind. Don't pay attention to what the have to say, everybody likes to pull someone else down. You just havent learned yet. Dont buy into the victim negative mentality. They actually have groups where people can go and be negative and reinforce each others negativity and they become sicker and sicker but this is the path they chosen for themselves. They found comfort there why, because they are ignorant that life is to be enjoyed and enjoying the enthusiasm and you are entitled to it.

LOOK UPON OTHERS IN A GOOD WAY It's that simple. If you see somebody suffering, whether it be health, wealth, a lack of being able to express themselves or bad relationships, don't look at them and say Oh, poor them. Look at them as though they are healthy, wealthy full of love, full of joy, full of power and freedom. Look at them and treat them like that and they will start to change. That is how you can help other people while helping yourself, great little how to ACT AS IF right there, but it does work and does have the power. And again it is foolproof, the system was setup by the subconscious mind and the way the human being is created and the system never fails.

THOU MUST TEST THYSELF Okay, here's the test you got to take. Get a pad and a pen, I don't care you can afford it, you can afford more than that, but right now just get a pad and a pen and take it with you and write down how many times a day you think you complain to yourself or complain to others, you may be astounded and astonished by how big that list is going to be. SO day one, if you have 200 complaints in that list, you at least know that what you are doing with every complaint is pushing yourself down further and further. Okay, you made the list that you want, thats fine. What you are going to start doing is taking that list and stop complaining so much. Complaining believe me, does not make you money does not get you good relationships, does not get you anything, no body that I ever met succeeded in anything, go there by complaining. So you take your list of

complaints, and the next day, you cut them down. You catch them and you stop them, by the end of the week, you should have blank paper and no need to take to book along with you. Complaints are a path to the road to ruin.

FROM MY OWN EXPRIENCE I'll tell you a story here, how a joke yet a complaint, started me on this new way of thinking. I was a teenager and there was a girl I liked, yea thats normal nothing wrong with that. And she lived in Manhattan in a high floor building, I had no problem with elevators whatsoever, but I thought it would be kind of cute to tell her I am afraid of elevators could you meet me downstairs. I thought it would be endearing, it was. She met me downstairs. Well, you know what happened within a few weeks, I was afraid of elevators, and then I realized. Thats when it hit me. I acted as if and became done onto me, as I stated it. And that was done merely as a joke, or as a gimmick. Think of much is done to yourself, when it is done seriously. An 100 times more the negative effect or a 100 times more the positive effect depending whether your putting in negatives or positives in the way your acting the way you are believing. It is in everything you do. And it all starts with words. The words you say to yourself, because we think in words, we express in words. ALL GETS BETTER FAST When you go, thats good, thats nice, thats okay, thats fine, thats all it will be. If you change the way you speak and say thats great, thats fantastic, I can't wait to see what happens next, I'm really glad you did that for me. Things get better right there and then. Also the way you think to yourself, watch and guard yourself. Just like the list of complaints on how many times a day you say, Oh I dont know how I'm going to pay my bills, when will he or she cal me back. You are programming yourself for either the positive or the negative. You've got to change the words in which you speak to others and speak to yourself. And keep them positive and throw enthusiasm every time and it will happen to you. And ill keep repeating this; it is a system that is built in every one of us, that cannot be cannot be circumvented. And it works all the time.
18

AND SO GOOD THINGS WILL HAPPEN Just keep saying to yourself. I deserve great things in life and they will happen. And I'll say again, you might not know how they happen but the doors will open. An old saying, knock and a door will be open and it will be open for whoever knocks that door opens. When I'm talking about the door, I'm talking about the door in your subconscious mind which is connected to the universe which is connected to the dynamic unlimited power that can flow through you. SO if you get enthusiastic, even about the smallest things in life, and don't get upset about the small things in life, where are you going to go? You're going straight up to joy, to freedom, to anything you want, doesn't matter what area, and doesn't even matter if it's good or bad. It will happen to you, in direct proportion to what you believe you deserve. So you got to watch out for all the negative programming out there and it's on every channel right now. They are doing all sorts of makeovers on people and you know something. Those people arent happy if they are made over because they are still them. You can't put paint over an old house and think its a new house, it starts from within. It starts from acting as if. It starts from knowing who you are and believing and knowing where you'll be. And it will happen to you, every time. There is no way around it; it is a foolproof system that works for absolutely everybody.

FREE WILL We are all living the life we choose. Whether you like it or not. Whether you believe it or not. It is true. Every single thing that happens to you, the good and the bad is dictated by your own subconscious thoughts and desires and belief in what you are entitled to. Knowing how to ACT AS IF, you can eliminate all unhappiness from your life. You can live free from self imposed guilt and the punishments that come along with that, that manifest themselves in poverty, in struggling, in bad relationships, in illness and inability to express yourself. All these are needless burdens that you have done onto yourself. It is time for you to
19

now make a change to every aspect of your life. Using and knowing how to ACT AS IF, is all you need for the set of ideas gives you absolute control over all aspects of your existence. If can and does and will alter any situation you be trapped in. And it will reward you equally with the lifestyle you want, the lifestyle you always dreamed of, if you simply know how to ACT AS IF. Knowing how to ACT AS IF, and acting as if and believing you already have it and everything you have ever desired and saying to yourself over and over again, I already have that. Done see the problem, just visualize and ACT AS IF you have the solution. And you will conquer any problem. And you will be able to recreate yourself the lifestyle that up until now you may have thought was impossible but very quickly you will see it is very possible and it will come falling right on your lap. As I said, those doors will open.

THERE IS ONLY ONE REASON Most people do live unhappy, miserable lives because of one reason; they have chosen too, subconsciously, they have programmed their mind to live miserably. They are squandering their own amazing abilities and turning away from the simple truth that will set them free instead they are punishing themselves for no good reason. I don't care what your lot in life is, what you did, there is no reason to self punishment. If you're tired of living that way I am showing you how to use all your great gifts so your life will be exactly the one you always known you deserved. One filled with wealth, health, love and personal power. Because the things you say and do, the things you think control every aspect of your life. You are in control. Just ACT AS IF it is already happened to you and it will happen to you. The system fails no one. And there are many, many, techniques to knowing exactly how to ACT AS IF and how to apply it so everyday you are getting closer and it is a very short process and a very effective process. As I said the power of words use greater, more positive more dynamic words, the belief that you already have something and you will have it. The belief and a very important one that you deserve to have all the good things in life, no more self punishment, and anytime you see it coming, catch yourself and stop it. Say no, this is not for me anymore, I will not accept this, and I will only accept good things in my life. And don't say
20

Oh, well if I get something good will something bad happen to me, no. Accept the good things reject the bad things. There are no limits here to how far you can go. There are absolutely no limits. The only ones you have are the ones that are imposed upon yourself. When you feel nonentitled, non-deserving, when you are carrying the past a very simple metaphor to get rid of a lot of past negativity.

CARRY NOT THE THINGS YOU NEED NOT I was with a client and she handed me a vase for some unknown reason and it dropped, I dont know if I dropped it or she dropped it, it wasn't a dynasty vase, it was a supermarket 8 dollar vase, no big deal, and it broke. Well she was really upset about this. I said well why are you upset, she said well I'm clumsy; I said no you're programming yourself in the wrong direction. Now to illustrate the metaphor, the vase once broken is gone, she's still carrying it that is how the accumulation of your life of negative thoughts starts building upon each other. Negative energy creates negative energy. Positive energy creates positive energy. Find the good in anything. If you hurt your right arm think of how good your left arm feels. And you know what happens your right arm starts to feel good. It is very simple. Don't think about the pain, think about how you're going to feel when the pain is gone, and your subconscious mind will start working the programming and things recover real fast. I have seen people cured, I have seen so much by just people knowing how to ACT AS IF. And applying it and the result work all the time. That is the beauty of this system. It cannot fail anybody. The only obstacle is your belief and that you don't deserve it. And I will tell you right now you deserve a great life. Everyone does, everyone does. All wars, all horrors, all illness, all poverty, all sadness, all stems from one thing. A belief that you don't deserve a good life. And you do.

THE KINGDOM OF THE WORD Here are some powerful words to remember. That are life is shaped by only one thing, our mind. We become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought just as the wheels of a car follow the mule that draws it.
21

Our life is shaped solely and only by our mind. We become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves. We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them in life. And all things start and end with decision, how to ACT AS IF is how to make the right decisions.

SEEK NOT ADVICE, BUT EXPRESSION For example, take the chronic advice seeker. That is a sorry soul. Because the chronic advice seeker has the inability to accept the responsibility of running their own life. Which is a major catastrophe. It a pattern that can be broken so it is not hopeless. I have known many people who have done this, some easy, some not so easily. But understand freedom of mind is your birth right. It is your potential, if you an indecisive person, it can always be activated. You were born to be you. Your consciousness is fully equipped to express you. But you must realize that you can be you, otherwise, you are a mixture of everybody else's decision that was ever in your life. You are a second place person, getting from life a small portion of good and learning the consequences and living the consequences of others.

BELIEVE YOURSELF AND NOT THE MULTITUDES I have a friend; he is a very good psychiatrist. When I spoke to him, he told me you know if people keep hearing things over and over and over again, they are going to believe them. They are going to start living that way. And he wasn't talking about his patients, he was talking about his peers, he was talking about absolutely everyone who is susceptible to hearing negative things over and over and over again and they believe it. Now this is a point of view of one man which is shared by many of his perfection, a psychiatrist that has heard negative things over and over again, you will believe them and start living them. SO if that be true and it is, the same must be true of hearing good things over and over and
22

over and over again. And you begin to live a good life. Understanding how fragile the mind is until you are really centered in saying no I will not accept that thought, or yes I will accept that thought because it is beneficial to me, you can be destroyed by the opinions of other people. That is something you must be on guard for 24/7. No vacations. SO here and now I am going to tell you how to ACT AS IF in detail so that you always stay on the positive on the powerful and on the strong path of life. And never suffer again.

CAST YOUR BREAD UPON THE WATER Here is how we are going to start. We will start by giving gifts to other people. We are going to give gifts to everybody we meet. And here's a bonus, these gifts don't cost anything. Yup, these gifts are free but the valuable to yourself and other people are unlimited and here what the gifts are a smile and a compliment. It costs nothing. When you give someone a compliment, no matter what it might be and a smile, your building their self esteem and confidence at the same time building yours. Win, win situation all the way. Try it, do it and you will see how fast you benefit just from giving compliments and smiles. Small compliments like hey, great to see you, where did you get that shirt it looks fantastic I want one like that, and smile. Hey had a great time with you the other time. Everything, any compliment you can find anything good to say about someone, and if you look for the good you will find the good. Compliment people it will make your life better and it will also make their life better. Now, give compliments to yourself all the time. All the time.

SAY TO YOURSELF AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS Always say to yourself, I look great today. Even if you don't think you do, say it anyway. I feel great today, even if you don't feel that great, you'll start to feel good. I am going to make money today, even if you don't have a lot of money right now keep saying it, it will happen. I am going to have a great relationship I am going to find the person that is my soul mate and make me happy. Say it to yourself, believe it and act as thought it has already happened. And it does happen, every time. It
23

is again, foolproof, just remember to start feeling good about yourself, you've got to compliment yourself. Yea I did a good job, yea women love me, or yea men love me depending on your gender. I can succeed in this, I will succeed in this, even better, I am succeeding in this, it already happened, and it begins to happen immediately.

OPEN THE DOORS TO YOUR OWN KINGDOM Here is something else to do, throw yourself a party. And then have no feelings of regret. Treat yourself like the king or queen that you are. As you treat you will see that you are worthy. And when you feel you are worthy the world opens up to you. And actually is drawn into you to give you everything you have ever happened. And you have heard a lot of negativity you have in the back in your mind, you got to treat yourself like the king or queen that you are and the results, as I always say, are unlimited.

JUDGE NOT So now we are talking about all this compliments and praise and stuff like that. I'll tell you something to avoid doing, and catch yourself doing it and see if you ever benefited at all from doing this. Criticizing other people. I'll tell you what criticizing does, all it does is get you frustrated and gets the other person bringing up there defenses, trying to justify their existence and create resentment towards you. That is not the spot you want to be in. That is the spot you want to lose. Forget criticizism, it doesnt work. It doesn't ever work. You can't change anybody else. You could direct by example but don't expect other people to change. You want other people to change, well guess what there is a secret method on how to do it. Change yourself, and other people will react to you in the light you want them to. Now if you are looking for medication to change yourself, there is only one medication I recommend and that is laughter and joy. GOOD MEDICINE

24

The old saying and everybody who knows me knows I love old sayings, laughter is the best medicine. And it really is, it fills your body with all sorts of chemicals. You can heal yourself with laughter. So dont overlook that, I am being serious here. Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter alone is a great medicine. If you laugh and feel guilty that you laughed you are sort of breaking even. You have to laugh with the freedom and joy that flows with it. Laughter was developed for a reason. The reason is because is has so many medicinal effects, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and no side effects. You got to learn to laugh. Even if you start to fake laugh, watch, really laughter will come and already you are on the right track with using the ACT AS IF method and getting the life you want because when you laugh you bring out the child within. You ever notice a little kid playing, they are so happy they laugh their whole body laughs, their whole body is exploding with joy. The adult grows out of it; you just have to talk to yourself out of it. You feel like I can't go this far in joy, there is no limit to how far you can go in joy and laughing.

REMOVE THE STONE AND LIVE Don't limit yourself to how much joy and laughter you can have. If you see yourself stopping yourself from enjoying yourself as much as you can because you think if you well if I have a good time then I guess I got to get a bad time back that is just wrong believing. If you are having a really good time, you will attract more good times. That is how it works. And do you deserve it? Yes you do deserve it. Yes you are worthy of everything you ever desired. You dont have to explain your reasons to anyone. You dont have to make excuses, you dont have to justify yourself in any way manner or from because you do deserve it. But joy will never start down the road that you want until you allow all your wants, your dreams, your desires, everything you have ever dreamed of to come to you. Because when you are in joy with your life you cannot, you just simply cannot feel insecure, ashamed unworthy, unsafe, guilty or inferior in any manner. Because you dont have that energy there anymore. And you will not be attracting negative energy like lack or disappointment, as long as you stay on the path of joy all good things will come to you.
25

YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FREE Having dreams, desires, and wants is not a sin. Never again think you have to justify your wants. You don't. You cannot be justifying defending or rationalizing which is all negative energy. You need to make no excuses to anything, anybody, any higher or lower authority to have great desires and great dreams. To do so is to turn your back on your own higher energy. Thus, deny your very existence of your divine right to live as you want. This is contrary to common teachings. Gaining happiness is your birthright. Believe it because it is so.

DARE TO FULLFILL YOUR DREAMS SO let yourself go and dream. And ACT AS IF and you are already creating your life every moment, of every day by how you think and how you act so why not create a world you'd like to be in. Why not create the person you want to be. And the best way to implement all those wants, you want, is to pretend. I'm going to say pretend; I mean to ACT AS IF. Remember all thats required for you to have whatever you want whatever you dreamt of, no explanation no excuses, no apologizing, you don't need to reason at all. All you need to do is want. And pretend and ACT AS IF you already have it and you will have it. I will give you a good example right here. Let's say you're going to make a phone call. You are going to ask for a date, you are going to ask for a date a job, you are going to ask for a date a loan, you are going to ask for so many things you can ask for today. But I think you get the point now. If you call up with the assumption I hope I get the job, odds are good you might not get it. If you call with the idea I wish I could get the job it might be a little better, but if you call up believing you already have the job, the date, or whatever you are calling about, watch how the reaction changes, you will get so much more by assuming you already have what you want and you will have what you want. Here are some things that you can do to create this powerful, positive energy so that all good things come into your life.

26

One, shower everyday. Make yourself look great. Treat yourself great, means other people will treat you great, and means the universe will treat you great. Why? Because you are showing respect for yourself. When you respect yourself, you are using the ACT AS IF method. You are creating and aura and power of self respect by treating yourself well. You deserve to look good, you deserve to be proud and you never have to explain yourself to anyone. It is your birthright. A lot of people come to me saying I want to quite smoking. I want to stop abusing drugs, alcohol, etc. Is there a way to do this using ACT AS IF method? Yes there is, and does it work? All the time. And I will explain exactly how to do this. Lets just use smoking as barometer for all substance abuse. A lot of people tell you just throw the cigarettes away and use will power. That doesn't work. Everyone tried that, it doesnt work. As you smoke, don't quit, just start saying to yourself I am not a smoker, I use to be a smoker I'm glad I gave it up and you know what happens in a couple of weeks, you stop smoking and you don' t even know how it happened. Same with alcohol same with drug abuse. Just keep saying, I used to do this I dont do it anymore as you are doing it. Keep saying, I used to do this because you are creating a new program and your subconscious mind will act on it and all those bad habits that you may not like will go away. Because you got to remember there is something in your mind somehow, somewhere that you felt you needed some self punishment so you take up some bad habits to continuously do to yourself, the same mind that brought it to you will simply bring it away but just acting as if you dont have it anymore and tricking yourself out of those addictions.

LABOUR NOT AND YOU SHALL BE REFRESHED It's a very simple formula but it always works. A lot of people come to me with phobias. Some serious heavy phobias. I've dealt with agoraphobics that can't go out of their rooms. I've dealt with people who are afraid of trains, planes, cars, driving and even had to do a lot of work on myself because people are loaded with phobias and I'm going to tell
27

you right now how to overcome your phobias. You can't fight them because they are in there already, they are going to win but you can get rid of them. By just saying to yourself and acting even if its just minutes a day like you dont have a phobia. Or say to yourself I'm coming out of my phobia and acting as if a couple times a day like you dont have it. Because the positive energy will knock out the negative. You have to visualize yourself of being free of your phobias. Instead of thinking to yourself oh I'm afraid of this, think I love this, if youre an agoraphobic say I love being outside I love being with people until your mind believes it. It may take a little time but it will break out and you'll be free. And this applies to any phobia you may have. Go like I said earlier to the opposite and just keep staying in the opposite despite what the current circumstances are and you will be free.

NO SUCH THING AS A LOOSER Remember a loser is just a winner that just doesn't know it yet. Using the ACT AS IF method, the word loser will be gone from your vocabulary. Remember we are going to use strong words here to make ourselves better. Like winner, champion, I can, I will, I am, I have if you use words like I am a loser, I am a failure, you'll get that too. ACT AS IF does not care, the universe does not care, and your subconscious mind does not care whether you want a good life or a bad life. And simply define heaven and hell. Heaven is having what you want. Hell is not having what you want. By using the ACT AS IF method you will always have what you want money, lunch, dinner and there is no suspicious strings attached take it, take the compliments. Give yourself compliments. Do this all day and watch how fast things turn around to your benefit.

RELATIONSHIPS Now let's talk about relationships why some people get them why some people don't. One of my clients said to me, she said I can't get a date. Now right there, when she said I can't, she was right. Because if you say I can or I cant either way you will be right. So I simply told her instead of saying I can't get a date say I can get a date, I have a date I just
28

havent found it yet. In a very short time she had a date. It's how it works. If you say you can your right, if you say you can't your wrong. Now let's look at the divorce rate going on in America, the fights, the domestic abuse, why is all this happening? One, sometimes we punish ourselves by virtue of other people in our life. Because you find people in bad relationships and I always find this to be true, they always have the same repetitive bad relationship. The names change, the way the people act towards them doesn't change. SO you have to change yourself by not allowing yourself to be a victim. And that was explained earlier, just do not have a victim mentality and people will not victimize you. Unfortunately, it is human nature to go after weakness, but if you are filled with joy, great expectations, if your life is great, people will not victimize you. You have to change yourself. You cannot change other people. Change yourself and your next relationship will be a good one. And here's how to keep it. This is how most relationships are destroyed. First think about this, if you tie two birds together even though they have four wings, they cannot fly. Now I tried this experiment myself, and it really looked silly in the backyard watching two birds trying to get off the ground. Okay I was just kidding there, but the statement is true. You cannot tie two birds together and see them fly. But what is they big destroyer of relationships, why do they fall apart? Because people start getting into pettiness. Instead of seeing the person as great as they were when they met them you start looking for petty defects. Its a trap and it leads to destruction on relationships. Now I can go on and on about this. But catch yourself looking for pettiness, nonsense, the little fights you had about nothing add up to divorce court, lawyers, losing houses, losing self esteem. Very simple, dont be petty. And this is universally applicable. Dont be petty about anything.

JEALOUSY IS A BELIEF IN LACK And to add more power in great relationships, with everything, no jealousy. WHY? Because jealousy is a belief in lack. If you become
29

jealous you believe that there is only a limited supply of whatever it is you want and you are limiting yourself. Jealousy of all things is the greatest curse and destroyer of all things. Don't allow yourself to become jealous because again we are talking about the subconscious mind, you only have to do 10% of the work, 10% of the acting as if on the good things. Your subconscious mind will take care of 90% of it. Say this to yourself; I believe this to be true. I let it go into my subconscious mind and my sub conscious mind will do the work for me. And it will, all the time.

KNOWING THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU And here is the biggest piece of the puzzle. Here is where you find your limitations and where you could unlimit yourself to everything. How you define God is how you define yourself. Your definition of God is your definition of yourself. See God as a good benevolent provider who cares for all of his children. God does not specialize in anyone. Not in the prophets not in the bible, nowhere. Some of those people specialized in God, but God gives all good things to you because you already have them all you need to do is claim them. Do not define God as a harsh cruel ruler or you will be defined as your own definition of God. And God is good and how you define God is how you define yourself. Watch how your views change the more you get to enjoy life the more your dreams come true. It is that simple, it is a matter of knowing how to ACT AS IF.

THE MYTH OF SECURITY Here are some things to remember and put to work in your mind and in your life. Know there is really no such thing as security on earth. There is no security. But there is opportunity and opportunity wins. Too many people are thinking and living and worrying about security instead of pursuing opportunity, this makes them more afraid of life than death. If you think like that change it now. Remember you are what you believe. Because the power in your mind what you believe to be true, either is true or it will become true. Remember a strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles then any wonder drug. Try it, it works, no side
30

effects, no prescription needed. Just by changing it in attitude in your mind you can change all other aspects in your life. For good or bad, remember it's impersonal but I would recommend going in the good direction. Because I will say it again you deserve it.

WE ARE ALL FREE The greatest discovery I made in my life, the greatest one, is that by altering the way you think you will change your life forever. Nobody, no one, is a prisoner of faith, but we are all prisoners of our own minds. Here's the chance to turn the key and walk away free. Destiny is not a matter of chance; it's a matter of choice. It is not a thing you sit around and wait for it is something you immediately go out no time wasted, and go out and achieve that. Abolish anger in anything you do it makes you smaller. While forgiveness on the other hand, forces you to grow beyond anything you ever were. Holding on to anger, resentment, and hurt, only gives you tense muscles, a really bad headache, a sore jaw, from clenching your teeth, while forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life. SO remember, to ACT AS IF, to know how to ACT AS IF you will get everything you ever wanted. Because whether you know it or not you're acting as if every moment of every day, every second of every day, what you are putting into your mind goes into the subconscious mind and manifests right at this very moment as your life experience. Change the way you program your mind, and your life experience has to change. And so it will.

THE SOURCE OF ALL POWER The source of all power in the universe is God. Whether you think of God as an actual person, as the cosmic infinite, as the never-ending creative intelligence, as that which has no beginning and no end, et cetera, no matter how you perceive God, He is the absolute be all and end all of all things. God is the absolute intelligence, always creating that knows all that was all that is and all that will be. God is power unequalled. God is all natural law and all determining principles. God is the living truth. God is everything.

31

And we, being free souls under God, with free will given to us by Him, created in the unlimited image of his power, should possess all the power He does. And yet, we have ignored these abilities, we have cast them aside and have abused this highest of power we all possess and yet refuse to see. So great is this power and our freedom within it, so absolute is this law of the universe, that we could be like gods ourselves if we but lifted from our eyes that which blinds us. It is the misuse of this power that has brought upon us all the conditions from which we suffer. How can this be, you ask? We are bound to lives of suffering and poverty, of fear and depression because we are free to do so. It is not God's curse that afflicts us thusly; it is the power which He has granted us that has brought to us this suffering. We chose to suffer. Understand this and you will understand all. I repeat it is our misuse of the free will granted us by God; it is our own misunderstanding of the power we all possess that brings us ruin and devastation. And, it is only the proper understanding and us of this power that can free us. The power which binds is the same power which frees. IT IS DONE TO YOU AS YOU BELIEVE These are the words of Jesus Christ, but they are also the words of dozens of great spiritual teachers who, over the centuries, have pointed the way to freedom for mankind. Let me simplify what this means. IT IS DONE TO YOU What is the "it" here? Of course, this word represents everything that happens to you. If good things happen, if bad things happen, if nothing much happens, if your lot is eternal suffering, great riches, never-ending sex or success or torment, whatever, this is "it." "It" is your lot in life, because you believed it so, your subconscious mind accepted it and you are now experiencing it. AS YOU BELIEVE What does this mean? Am I saying that if you suffer, it is your fault? Yes, I am. If you have unending success, neverending failure, or anything in between, it is your doing yes it is 100 percent of the time. What you believe is what will come to pass. Many
32

teachers, doctors, psychiatrists, et cetera, have all agreed on one point over the centuries, the fact that we all create our own realities. What? Am I telling you that our suffering is our own fault? Isn't our suffering imposed upon us by God? No. Absolutely not. God gave us free will. God's greatest gift He gave us the power to make any decision we wish, to be anything we want. If we fail or rise, it is our own doing. It is because we are ignorant of our true nature, our true potential, our absolute power that we suffer, and only because of this fact that we suffer to any degree whatsoever. The power to master the universe is always present. It is always within our grasp. It comes to us from everywhere and everything, and yet we do not see it. We have been taught to be weak by those who are weak. We have been taught to not understand our true potential by those who did not understand their own. But, if this is the case, then how can we now reach out and claim this power which is our birthright? We must learn to see ourselves as the center of our universe, but it is essential that we understand that our universe is interconnected to every other person and thing. As always, I shall explain.

JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED We all recognize the above quote. We have all heard it a million times. And yet, how many of us understand what it really means. Judge others and ye will be judged by the standard by which you impose upon others. This is common sense. And yet, many miss its actual meaning. These words are a perfect illustration of the law of cause and effect, the Essence and balance of the Universal Law that governs all the world's religions. What ever you sow you will reap--no exceptions no exemptions. What this means is that our life experience will return to us in the exact manifestation of our own desire, thoughts, and motives, whether they were intended for ourselves or others. The thought of criticism and condemnation will and must fall upon those who set it in motion. What all this means is that we can not maintain two separate sets of rules in our lives--one for other people, and one for ourselves. In other words,
33

if you think someone who litters is a slob, then so are you a slob if you litter. If it is wrong in your eyes for someone to rape, or cheat the government, or flies kites on Mondays, then it is wrong for you to rape, cheat the government, or fly kites on Mondays. It is critical for our own well being that civil and criminal laws are enforced, because in the present state of our world there would be no protection from those who seek to destroy the common good. But, personal judgments must be eliminated. The laws we set in society must apply to everyone. Celebrities and politicians, police officers and sports figures, everyone must be held as accountable as the man in the street. Everyone agrees with this. But, many of us do not seem to realize that in our daily affairs we often employ two sets of standards--one for ourselves and one for everyone else. Guess which one is usually the more understanding of the two? It has to be understood that we must praise others and not condemn or criticize when they are only doing things for which we would expect praise.

WHY DO YOU TAKE NOTE OF THE SPECK IN YOUR BROTHER'S EYE AND NO NOTICE THE BEAM IN YOUR OWN? FIRST REMOVE THE BEAM FROM YOU OWN EYE AND THEN YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY. If we want to be able to use our unlimited power, then we must learn to be concerned with our own lives solely. Judging others, when God has specifically stated that only he can judge others, is not only a waste of our time, but counterproductive.

THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF WORRY Worry is a terrible burden in all of our lives. Worry is completely and utterly self-destructive. And yet, it is something we all do--usually to a far greater extent than we can handle. But why? Why do we worry so? It is because we have been taught to worry. From birth, we have been taught by our parents, our societies and the ever-present media to always
34

be on guard and alternately to always worry. To worry about absolutely everything. We worry about how we dress and our relationships. We worry over our finances, our automobiles and the weather. We worry about who will like us and who wont and why and why not? As children we were brainwashed into following a series of misleading, crippling beliefs--watch out, youll fall. Dont act like that, what will people think? What if you fail, what will people say? Be careful, dont act like that, there is danger out there. Stand up straight, don't talk back, be good, watch out for others, and keep your eyes open, study hard, do you want to end up homeless? And on and on and on. But, even though we laugh at many of these clichs when we grow up, what is the result of all this indoctrination on our subconscious? What happens to us is that a great stone in wedged within our subconscious minds, one capable of blocking our ability to live as free souls under God. What has happened in the world because of this is that far too many people have become petty worriers and critics of others. Since they were trained from childhood to look for and to only look for what is wrong with everything and everyone that is all they can find--what is wrong with everything and everyone? But, they are themselves are a part of everyone. Thus, as they find fault with those around them, subconsciously they find fault with themselves as well. Does anyone make money by complaining, does anyone ever attain a dream, a love, or what ever by complaining and worrying. No all you do by complaining is push your desire further away. No one can complain themselves into anything good.

ENERGY IS LIFE Science has proven to us that, on the subatomic level, all things are made of energy. Everything--trees, rocks, water, mountains, et cetera, everything in the universe, from the stars and planets down to our very
35

selves is composed of raw energy. But, unlike everything else, unlike inanimate objects and the animals, unlike the comets and stars and other celestial bodies that make up the heavens above, we have an edge over the rest of the universe. We can control our energy. Science has proven that energy and matter are one and the same. Physics has proven that energy cannot be destroyed it. It can be manipulated, it can be changed, but it can not be destroyed. Coal can be burned to heat homes, to melt iron ore, to move locomotives. Wood can be fashioned into homes. Vegetables and meat can be turned into the energy that moves our muscles, or even into other human beings. No matter is ever destroyed. No energy is ever lost. It is only transformed. As the laws of physics have also proven, there are two kinds of energy in this universe--positive and negative. The main energy, the most detectible of human energies is that generated by EMOTIONS. Emotions are powerful attractors of both light and dark. Now, is this important? Absolutely. It is beyond important, it is vital--the root and cause of all your problems and all your blessings. Everything that has come into your life, every minute of every day, has come to you because of the energy based solely on your beliefs. And, it will continue to come into your life, again no exemptions no exceptions, in exactly the same way. When we emit emotions, they attract the emotions of others. If we send out emotionally weak signals, we attract predators. Worry sent out into the ether only brings back those who live on worry. As mathematician Tom Lehrer once said, "Life is like a sewer, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it." He was making a joke, of course, but only to make his point all the stronger. And that point is, obviously, if you aren't getting out of your life what you want, if you aren't attracting the kinds of people and good will and good fortune that you want to attract, then maybe it's time you change your thought process and your attitudes.

SAME OLD STORY

36

Have you ever noticed yourself becoming stuck in the same place day after day, week after week year after ? Let's pick one aspect of life that can often become filled with negativity for people. Have you always struggled with your bills? Has the paying of them become not just hard to accomplish, but something that you actually resent? Does the thought of paying bills make you angry, frustrated, enraged, even? What you have to understand here is that you are not actually mad at the bills themselves. How can you be? They are merely inanimate pieces of paper. They are harmless, lifeless, and powerless. What you are upset about is not the bills, but the fact that you have to pay them. What you are actually upset with is the fact that you have incurred these bills in the first place. But, since you don't want to be angry at yourself, you instead direct your wrath at the bills themselves. However, this is only frustrating because deep down inside, your subconscious mind knows that your energy is being wasted. You can hate and loath your bills for the next million years and your situation is not going to change. You will still always have to pay your bills. What you need to do is redirect your thinking. If dealing with these problems does not make you feel good the way you are doing it, then you must be doing something wrong. If you hate any portion of your life, and are feeling horrible emotions of dread when dealing with any types of problems then there must be something wrong with the way you are dealing with them. This simply must be. What your specific problems are, of course, I can not say. Neither can your religious leader, your dentist, your best friend or your dog. No one can tell you what you are actually feeling except yourself. As Shakespeare wrote, "To thine own self, be true." If you are continuously experiencing negative feelings when addressing your problems, you are sending out negative emotions and negative energy. When you do this, you attract like negativity and only cause your problems to repeat themselves ad infinitum.

FLEXIBILITY
37

You must remain flexible; you must wash your reactions to both the past and the present. For these are the two trouble spots in your thinking. If the thoughts are negatives of the past shall govern your decisions of new ideas and new thoughts you'll find the old pattern of negativity dominating your thoughts. No matter how great any past traditions or wisdoms might have been there is a better one today. It is the worship of the old, the past that have prevented the progress of millions from going forward. To worship or believe in the past is negating the idea that the one spirit, the eternal intelligence, is out of business. CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK AND WATCH YOUR LIFE CHANGE The universe has two sides to everything, the law of Polarity, there is dark and there is light, there is water and there is air. There is male there is female and most important there is positive and there is negative. So lets say you find yourself in debt and business is bad or you find yourself in a relationship that is falling apart, or you find you have health problems. You cannot think Oh Woe Is Me. You must go to the positive remember the universal law dictates like attracts like. You must say unto yourself at this moment I am fine, I have money, I have success, I have health. You must make yourself believe because As you believe, so are you. Do this in the worst of times and you will become successful at anything. Always ACT AS IF and it will be done unto you. As you believe you shall receive. Always leave no room for worry. WHO BY WORRYING CAN ADD BUT ONE MOMENT TO THEIR LIFE? FREE WILL God gave everyone free will. It is Gods greatest gift to the human race. What do we do with this magnificent gift? Unfortunately most of us dont do much; even thought the potential is unlimited in everyone. It is so simple and stated so many times in so many books, and yes so neglected. As you believe it in your heart so shall you be. In other words ACT AS IF AND IT SHALL BE DONE UNTO YOU AS YOU
38

BELIEVE. It is that simple if you can in the midst of everything going wrong switch gears and go into the positive I am fine things are fine. I have said it and it is so, you must say it and believe it and it will be so. If you say I want or I wish it ruins the manifestation of what you desire. Only when you believe it and know it, will it become what you desire. If at this moment you are living in a cardboard box in the street and you ACT AS IF and believe you are rich and successful it will become so. CLUELESS No one knows how they get or got what they have in life. Everyone has a long list or so many things they want, and a much longer list of things they dont want. Unfortunately this is what has become peoples everyday life. Dwelling on what you do not have. Most of us believe in antiquated ideas, most of us believe in struggle, potluck. And if we go to school, work hard, we will get a head if we are lucky. It is only by our beliefs and attitude of self deserving and self entitlement that we will ever get anywhere in life. WORDS NOT TO THINK OF The words I should, I hope, and I wish at this moment remove them from your vocabulary forever. They are loser words and will cause you loss and confusion. You wishing, shoulding, and hoping for things you already have. Words are power, watch the words you say to others and to yourself, catch and stop all negative words you say unto others and mostly what you say unto yourself. You will be surprised just how many negative words you will catch yourself saying to yourself and others. Negative words are the seeds of destruction of all lives endeavors. GOD IS IMPERSONAL God is energy. God is like any other form of energy. You can use the energy of God to destroy or to build, its the same energy. The same energy that is an impersonal God will and does always respond to your commands. The programming that you feed into your conscious mind
39

the goes to that which is called the subconscious mind that becomes what your life is right now at any moment at any time. Most peoples lives are not what they want because they feel that they lack entitlement or have low self esteem. The answer is simple you must focus on the positive. If you dwelleth upon smallest of good things in your life since like attracts like all good things will emerge. Your energy has now turned positive. If youre down and out find one thing in your life that is good and positive keep reaffirming it to yourself even the most minute thing, since you are focused on the positive, positive changes can and will begin to happen to you the instant you change the way you think. TO BELIEVE A doubting person will get no where in life. Why is this? The infinite can only give us what we can take. In sense this is a mental act between the conscious and the subconscious we can only receive what we believe we already have. Believe we already have the answer as we ask for it.

THE MISUSE OF GOD Embedded in all of lifes struggles and problems that have plagued people since the beginning of time based on the beliefs of non-self entitlement and self judgment people have enacted with universal laws or god how ever you want to phrase it. A way of punishing and limiting themselves based on their beliefs upbringing or society etc. Most people feel they have to suffer greatly before any reward in life can be given to them nothing can be further from the truth. Therefore guilt reaps you nothing therefore it is a form punishment put there by yourself or accepted from others. All need is from fear and desire is inspired from excitement. Let me ask you this big question. When you want something that you dont get doesnt that make you feel bad? Because now you are clueless how to get what you really want. The mystery is solved. Change your feeling. When you want something find a way to feel good about it dont think about the lack of having. Instead thinking about having the focus must become one of joy and desire about having. To create the energy to over ride the feeling of lack but you must never
40

judge or impose upon yourself any form of self punishment be it guilt, lack, poor health. Must always go into the positive because like attracts like. WHAT DOES GOD MEAN TO YOU? God is just a name given to the one spiritual power the one source. From which all things flow. When your thoughts are constructive spiritual power which is always responsive to your thought will bring to you health joy and abundance. You must completely reject every thought of lack by instantly remembering the availability and unlimitless of the spiritual power of the infinite. It responds to your constructive thoughts and beliefs as quickly as it will respond to your destructive thoughts and beliefs because god is impersonal. WHY DO BAD THING COMES IN THREES FOURS AND FIVES Everyone says that and now I will tell you why they say that. Because when bad things happen your mind is focused on the negative and so the negative comes. Because people have been told bad things come in threes you have set yourself to a negative sequence of events based on the belief. Youre just merely fulfilling a ridiculously overstated old saying that bears no fruit unless you water it. BELIEVING IS SEEING No matter what you want no matter what you desire if you can visualize it in your mind if you can believe and ACT AS IF you have it so shall ye have it... So instead of seeing is believing you should now focus on believing is seeing. PRAYING RIGHT OR CORRECT When we pray for things anything you desire we are to believe that we have received it. Because when we pray we must believe that we
41

already have it. The reason is we are always in tune with universal law which creative it moves from a thought to thing. Unless there is first an image it cannot move without an image there would be nothing for it to move toward. Prayer must accept its own answer as an image in your mind before the one intelligence will make it manifest. You can not reap a harvest before you plant a seed. You must believe your prayers can be answered. A prayer must be an undisputed place of agreement. Taking your mental images and desires and wants to the one creative spirit and impressing upon the spirit those beliefs with positive beliefs your prayers will be answered. A THING ABOUT PRAYERS Emotion will win over logic every time, without fail. What prayer must be is a marriage between emotion and logic. Knowing emotion always wins over logic and knowing that all your decisions in life are based on emotion and then justified by logic your prayer must be a unity between your emotion and logic and it will work.

YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY THAT YOUR PRAYER WIIL BE ANSWERED When you are done praying, state I release this prayer to GOD, THE LAW, UNIVERSAL ITELLIGENCE, OR THE LAWS OF NATURE, any of the above; saying to yourself or out loud knowing that the work will be done, and the work will be done.

A WORD ABOUT NEGATIVE THINKING The problem with negative thinking is most people dont realize theyre doing it. Negative thought of any kind even the smallest bit will remove you from the life youre entitled to into a state of just existence. Negative thoughts happen when we fail to realize and focus on the things we want and make us happy. Every negative thought you have and will ever have from the conscious to the subconscious has come from the lack awareness that you can prevent that from happening. Why
42

are we fearful of thing? Because we lack the feeling of safety. Anyone who is depressed is depressed because they dont have something they want even if that something is just feeling good. We justify and rationalize because we lack self esteem and approval including our own. Blame is also placed on people or events that cause us to feel fear or bad about ourselves. Whos to blame? The harshest reality for anybody to accept is that where ever you are in live right now. Whether youre in a mansion enjoying your life or a homeless shelter its because you and only you have decided that is what you deserve. Even if you hate your life condition somewhere in your subconscious mind you has decided this is what you deserve or all you can have. Remember the one intelligence or God is impersonal it will give you exactly what you believe you deserve in life be it good or bad. FEAR Fear has always been the greatest enemy of the human race. It is responsible for every war and every atrocity and every unpleasant moment. That is written in the history books or in your own life. Fear is nothing more than a mental attitude it is the opposite mental attitude to faith thus fear is the result of lack of faith. Fear brings limitation in its wake and is the destroyer of happiness and all things possible to those who suffer from it. FEAR KNOCKED ON THE DOOR FAITH ANSWED- NO ONE WAS THERE, that simple, that effective.

FEAR BLOCKS THE GIVINGNESS OF THE ONE SPIRIT Fear rising out from a mental attitude which denies the possibility and willingness of spirit. To give us all we desire the one spirit the one intelligence the one god is more completely expressed thru people who live well and large than ones who live sick and meagerly. Fear is a belief in limit. Confidence casts out fear. Confidence overcomes the depression of doubt. Depression which is rooted in lack and doubt will produce financial, spiritual, physical and romantic depression. You must remember the one intelligence god is always there the constant source of sustenance and supply. If it is Gods pleasure to give us the kingdom then it is surely our privilege to accept the gift. Have no fear of tomorrow enjoy today. To have a fear of tomorrow is to carry the corpse of a mistaken past do not carry the misery imposed by your yesterdays or
43

entertain thoughts of a bitter tomorrow because the enjoyment of today with often get stuck between the misery of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow.

GIVENS If your born handicapped, to short, to tall, to fat, to ugly. These are givens this is stated clearly in the statement. To accept the things you cannot change, and to change the things you can and the wisdom to know the difference. Once you have the wisdom to know the difference there is no limit to the joy you can have in your life. Think of how many good looking and healthy rock stars that were so miserable they took their own lives? How many wealthy successful people who seem to have it all wind up in mental hospitals on drugs or committing suicide? The is all due to a lack of self worth, self deserving and acceptance of all the good things. So no matter who you are if you accept and believe in the good and believe you deserve the good does it really matter if you have one leg or two? Remember dont think about what you cant have think about what you can have. Think about the great and joyous life you can have when you focus on the positive things. THE FABRIC OF THE HUMAN MIND The fabric of the human mind can be so easily torn. For example is someone says to you hey you dont look so good today do you feel alright? Most people will immediately start to follow that thought and begin not feel so well. The solution is immediately as I have stated before immediately upon receiving a negative no matter how you receive it you must jump to a positive you must think I feel good I feel great you must stay I feel great it will negate the negative. It is that simple. POWER OF WORDS With words you can make somebody angry you can make someone happy you can create romance you can create argument. You take over
44

a country just with words people are sent to prison. If you can do this to other people with words what are you doing to yourself every second when everyone thinks in words. Be careful how you speak to yourself always speak to yourself with confidence with desire and with joy and youll build a shield against negative words and thoughts that spring out of negative words. THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD. SELF CONDEMNATION This represents an idea which may be all too common for us. One of self condemnation "Oh this is going wrong and that's going wrong, should have, would have, could have," all bear the seeds of self condemnation and personal distrust. It is morbid, destructive, and is the road to self destruction and mental and physical illness. Self condemnation should not be indulged or entertained by anyone. To do so is a big mistake. There is no question that all of us have done that which is not for the best for us. From this view point all have fallen short of our connection with the infinite and the divine. We did so because we are ignorant of our true nature and because experience was necessary to bring us to ourselves. THE POWER TO LIMIT US OR UNLIMIT US Do you desire to live in a world with friends with love, with health, with joy, and self expression? There is but one way, and this way is as certain as the sun will rise. WE MUST CONTROL ALL THOUGHT THAT DENIES THE REAL: AFFIRM THE DIVINE PRESNCE WITHIN US. Then as the midst shall disappear before the sun so shall the adversity melt. Before the shining radiance of our exalted thought. There is no limitation outside of our own ignorance. And since we could all perceive of greater goods and greater experiences, far greater than we have yet experienced, we all have the ability to transcend previous experience and rise triumphant above them. But we shall never triumphant over them as we persist in going through the same old mental reactions. GOD KNOWS NO SIN
45

Perhaps the most significant thing in the bible is that God did not answer his son when he talked about being a sinner. This is one of the most wonderful lessons in the bible. Why did God not answer? God the infinite does not know evil, and therefore cannot talk about it or conceive it in any form. God or the one intelligence or whatever you may call it, is a living consciousness that is wholly good. If the one intelligence could know evil or sin then evil and sin would be an internal reality. But because God, the one intelligence and is sinless and perfect and nothing can reflect itself in the divine, save a perfect image. If God, the one intelligence could know sin he would be a sinner. It should be enough to know that this could never be. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SIN, ONLY M ISTAKES.

IN HIS OWN IMAGE Being created in gods image means you can create as well. This power is bestowed on us by god so like god himself you are a creator. What have you created? Your entire life. Every bit of it. Every experience.

THE POWER OF REINFORCEMENT BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE A sick person because they constantly reinforce that their sick, the more doctors the more medical treatments the more reinforcement they get that they are sick will keep them sick. If someone is thought of as a success and are constantly reinforced and told that they are successful they will believe it and they will receive it. So think about this how much you can keep reinforcing yourself with positive words positive action and positive thought. And now think about how much you can help others not by feeding the negativity but by inspiring their unlimited possibilities. And when you inspire another person you inspire yourself and never get caught in the trap of feeling bad about feeling good thats limited thinking and has been the destruction of many people and for no reason at all.

46

SO LET IT BE WRITTEN This works it also allows you to demonstrate the power of the written word. If you write down what you want your life to be as if it already was in detail this will effect an almost immediate change in your life for the better. God does not specialize. Many people have a great fear that god or the infinite intelligence favors one person over another. That is simply not true. God doesnt specialize in people, people specialize in God it is that simple.

FORGIVENESS One of the good things about forgiveness that it is always available. Think of how much emotional garbage you can drop how ridiculous personal responsibility to negative attraction you can lose when you forgive because the eternal mind of god hold naught against anyone. Who are you to point a finger or scorn at your brothers or sisters? Any one who feels self righteous enough to point fingers at their brothers and sisters is living in a world of petty virtues and will surely live a life of self delusion. The mind which condemns, does not understand the truth of being and the heart that would slam the door to one has mistaken in doing so destroys their own good. Because the inability to forgive another person is the same inability to release your soul from the burdens of your past. When you forgive others you are freeing yourself and your subconscious mind to accept the good inline. Now to forgive and not to forget is a big mistake because what is not forgotten like a tree will spread branches and grow larger casting a shadow on all the great things you may receive in life. What mind can conceive you can achieve anything you can think of you can do. Never have any doubt in your ability to demonstrate this truth conceive of your words as being the thing you desire as an already accomplished fact. And take knowledge in perfect confidence never becoming worried. The subconscious mind is not conscious of time, knows neither time nor process it knows only completion and the answer.

47

WHAT IS GOD TO YOU God is never poor. God is never sick. God is never happy. God is never afraid. God is never confused. Perfect God equals perfect beings. Therefore the spiritual person is never sick or unhappy or poor nor afraid. Would it be logical would it make any sense that a perfect god would create within a force to work against you. No a perfect god would not do that only you can do that. In fact how you define God to yourself is how you define yourself. THE CONCEPT OF THE TRINITY The concept of the trinity can in one way be viewed as the holy union between your mind, body and spirit.

ABOUT LOVE God shows his love for you thru the love of other people and through your love for yourself. So you must love yourself to be loved, plain and simple. ABOUT MONEY Money is god in action, why? Because money can go places you cannot go and create of it, work for other people and by virtue of the infinite creates more money. Like the universe money is always circulating and since god has no limits on prosperity you should not limit yourself in you financial potential. Since God is not stingy neither should you be. What stops us is the thought that money must be fought for earned, struggled for and sometimes cheated or stolen. When you realize money like everything else in the universe is nothing but energy. Then money is nothing but a positive energy. Not having money is a symptom of a consciousness and a belief in lack, having money is a symptom as is demonstration in the true belief in abundance.

48

ABOUT HEALTH It is again you belief in self punishment that affects you physically, emotionally and spiritually it is a form of self punishment. Being over weight is self rejection by accepting yourself you can over come this. The body molds to the mind. If you look at mobsters, bikers or Wall Street executives and cops they all have a similar look to them. The reason is the mind went there first and body went there afterward. First the thought then the physical manifestation of the thought. This is true in all things, all things in life you want or don't want you will become just as you are acting like, this shows you the unbelievable potential we all have.

ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS Why most relationships fail is because of the exchange of negative beliefs being passed along to the person closest to you coming back to you as negatives like criticism and petty arguments. Losing perspective of yourself and fighting to get it back is the cause of why most relationships go bad. From petty arguments grow the destructive elements into monsters and destroy the relationships. The key to keeping all your relationships good is to see only the good in the other person and knowing that person is an individual with their own heart and soul under god that you have no right to change. By not holding to tight you will not crush the life out of your relationship. Most love doesnt die it just gets buried under the soot of petty small thinking. Once youre free you from thinking petty and small your potential in the relationship will be unlimited. If you truly love another person you must always believe in there freedom to be another person. When you go to a house of worship when you have no belief or conviction is like going to the bank when you have no money and trying to make a withdrawal it just wont happen. Belief must start from with in, and then where ever you go you can transact it.

HOW TO BE FREE
49

True belief in the positive acting as if. And in believing in your heart and your mind. Know that you are what you think all day long by your own individual thinking you have created your own laws of belief by repeating a certain train of thought you do establish definite opinions and beliefs in the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind will accept these beliefs and direct and control them to all the outer actions of you life. Changing thoughts of lack and limitation into abundance is as simple as acting as if you already have it and believing its so. The process of changing water into wine. So, these teachings are dedicated to that Truth which frees people from themselves and sets you on the pathway of a new experience, which enables you to see through the mist to the Eternal and Changeless Reality. This book is dedicated to helping you be directed by Divine Intelligence. The All-Knowing Mind knows what to do and how to do it. Do not hinder, but let it operate in your affairs. It prospers and directs us and controls our life. All of your affairs are managed by Love, and directed by Wisdom, and they cannot fail to prosper and expand. Oh, for some Word to comprehend the boundless idea! Would that some Voice were sweet enough to sound the harmony of Life. But within, in that vast realm of thought where the Soul meets God, the Spirit knows. I will listen for that Voice and it will tell me of Life, of Love, and of Unity. We should be careful to distinguish wishful thinking and day dreaming from really dynamic and creative action. When we treat we do not wish, we KNOW. We do not dream, we STATE. YOU do not hope, YOU ACCEPT. YOU do not pray, you ANNOUNCE. You do not expect that something is going to happen; BELIEVE THAT IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. People are so tired of looking for things where they do not exist, that they are going to more and more completely open their thought to the realization that Spirit is an active Presence...Somehow there must come to each individual an interior conviction that we are One with the Universe, and that the Spirit flows through us at the level of our recognition and embodiment of it. What the world needs is spiritual conviction followed by spiritual experience...
50

WHEN ACTING AS IF WHEN ACTING AS IF, we turn entirely from the condition, because so long as we look at a condition we cannot overcome it. That is why the GREAT mystic said: "Behold my face forevermore." "Look unto me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth." That is, look up and not down. One, alone, in consciousness with the Infinite, constitutes a complete majority. Knowing this in your thought, work in perfect peace and calm. ALWAYS EXPECT THE GOOD. Have enthusiasm, and, above all, have a consciousness of love - a radiant feeling flowing through your consciousness at all times. Treat yourself until you have an inner sense of unity with all Good. The fear of lack is nothing more than the belief that God does not, and will not; supply us with whatever we need. The fear of death is the belief that the promises of eternal life may not be true. The fear of loss of health, loss of friends, and loss of property - all arise from the belief that God is not all that we claim: Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. ABOUT VANITY It is great to look good, and who does not want to? There is nothing wrong with looking good, wearing the best clothes and having great accessories. But when the insanity for vanity takes over then there is a problem. When you are constantly getting plastic unnecessary surgery, when you live at the gym all day, when you starve yourself, when no matter what you see you don't like then there is a problem. The problem is simple you are buying in to the endless media hype of what you should look like, how you should age, and how to buy their products. Know this if you are filled with positive energy on the inside it will show on the outside. If you spend time working on the inner the outer will show. Do not let the media be your God. BE NOT ANXIOUS FOR YOUR BODY OR LOOKS FOR HOW MUCH MORE ARE YOU THAN THAT.

51

DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE CLASSIFIED Once you state to yourself, I'm sick, I'm poor, nobody loves me and believe me as I am sure you know, there are multitudes of places and people that would be more than happy to give you a classification whether it be attention deficit disorder, anxiety disorder, bad relationships, or substance abuse, they will be more than happy to classify and label you. Once you accept this label as being real you will become it. So whenever the situation arises and any negative labels are going to be affixed to you do the opposite and stay in the opposite. So, as Buddha said if you could label something you can negate it. ACTING AS IF By using acting as if, you will program your subconscious to be what ever it is you desire. You will ACT AS IF you are something, and in reality become it because your unconscious has believed you are already is what you have become. You are capable of whatever your heart desires, there are no limits. The universe has no limit. It is all in your hands, you are able to be what you chose. Acting as if will allow you to achieve anything you wish.

MAKING DESCIONS Success and failure are direct results of the use of your mind. Every success motivated mind has been one that makes decisions. On the other hand, every failure is the result of an indecisive mind. A dreamer acts with clear decisions on their dream, brought forth something knew and valuable. It takes as much hard mental work to fail as to succeed. Failure is actually being successful at being negative. Worry always brings indecision.

52

SEEING TO THE END When you are in a situation that seems hopeless, when you are in a state of fear or worry here is what to do. See yourself out of the situation, see it passed and done with. ACT AS IF the problem is solved, dont worry how it will be solved ACT AS IF it is and it will be.

A TICKET TO FREEDOM Today more than ever people are held back from enjoying life, and why? Needless lingering guilt feelings causing neurotic beliefs to manifest and hold you back from the joys of life. Today more than ever people are filled with all manors of anxieties, OCD, ADHD, and a host of other new psychological diseases that are given names daily. Not a surprise that so many people's subconscious minds are a real mess. Not a surprise that so many people are on medication today, psychiatrists, psychologists are having a field day with this. Few of these doctors can really define the terms they are throwing around and so many people still grasp for it like candy. The reality is they banter these words around with little or no knowledge of their meaning. Freud and let's give thanks to him, made the first scientific investigation of the psychological structure to prove people have a subconscious mind. To know you have a subconscious mind and at the same time being ignorant of how to control it is not advancing you a single step. The subconscious mind is not something to fear or ignore. It is something to be directed consciously for the production of beneficial results. It is no demon, no matter what your life looks like now; and it has no negative tendencies inherent in it. If there are negative patterns there, it is because you have without intention placed them there through the years. Good news they can start changing into positives right now. Since the discovery of the subconscious mind it has become the base of all forms of mental therapy. It revealed that a person is more a mental and emotional process and not just a body. Knowing the human being is
53

more than just a body, requires a new understanding of the spirit in people. Your body does not make you do anything wrong. It is your consciousness that determines what the body does. You decide to act and your body does what you decide. Your body does not cause you to cause errors in functioning. You must want to commit them either consciously or subconsciously, to have your body accomplish them. Your way of thinking and feeling is your primary problem or solution. Treating this is using the adaptation of spiritual principles with psychological techniques giving you help the only place you will get it, which is in your mind. Your subconscious mind is the main operating system in your life. Everything you do, you do because your subconscious mind does the work no exemptions. The area of your conscious and subconscious and the inter action of the two is the whole cause and continuity of life. What you decide with the conscious mind, you will produce with the subconscious mind. When you do not decide any issue in your life with the conscious mind, your subconscious takes the left over material from previous decisions and produces after its own kind. If you fail to direct your subconscious mind, it will produce average or mediocre results at its best. The most important factor in your life is never what you are thinking of this instant. It is the sum total of all you ever thought. Spiritual treatment is an idea deliberately accepted by the conscious mind, setting into action a law at the subconscious level. Spiritual treatment is a command to the subconscious to produce great things for you. Each time you use spiritual treatment, you thought becomes a law of creativity and creative action. THE LAW OF CREATION When intelligence makes a demand on itself, it answers only its own demand out of its own nature and cannot help doing so. This idea is
54

called creation or evolution you pick; they are one in the same. Whenever the universe makes a demand upon itself, out of every demand is created fulfillment. But that can only happen when the demand is in accordance with the universe. Therefore, the person specializing in God, the one who believes God is specializing in them is right. God is specializing in you through the law of the universe. There is a divine intelligence that knows the right answer, and when you accept this statement as being true, the answer to all problems right then are created in mind, and will be sent through your intellect a soon as you are ready to receive. FOR THIS IS THE LAW OF CREATION. CARRYING WEIGHT When you are involved with someone in your life who does not ant will not stand behind you and encourage you, DROP THEM be it wife husband, lover or best friend. Because you are carrying dead weight. And it is hard indeed to get anywhere constantly carrying dead weight.

GIVE LIFE TO THINGS What do I mean by this, well the answer is simple what I mean here is simple; for example if you see someone making a mistake or doing something wrong or self destructive, don't ever say hey you doing that all wrong or worse I know better. All this does is put you on a petty plane of existence, go to the opposite, say may I help, or allow me to assist help anyone it does as much for you as them. Spiritually you are putting money in your spiritual coffer. ACT AS IFS HEALTH There is one infinite mind, one energy, one universal perfect functioning of all ideas in mind. My health is an action of an infinite intelligence that functions perfectly, functions in the order of infinite mind, all ideas work perfectly, functioning normally, functioning in order, all ideas working
55

perfectly, completely and divinely; so that there is neither over action nor under action. There is only normal action. There is no principle of straining. There is only the principle of ease. Therefore I am not under the law of tension. I am under the law of ease, order, harmony, normalcy of all functions. So my consciousness, which is the CAUSE and maintenance of my body, is now circulating its ideas perfectly. It is now assimilating all ideas perfectly. It is right here and now eliminating all ideas that have finished their course. It is now working in divine order at this very MOMENT. This is my health and I rejoice in it. My subconscious mind accepts this. AND I ACT AS IF IT WERE AND SO IT BECOMES

WEALTH This is for total freedom in money. We enter into this with joy, because we are always dealing with the principle of eternal abundance. The universe is never poor. The universe is and will always be abundant, always rich, and always productive. Therefore I, as part of the eternal system, part of the eternal process, of and created by the eternal system, a part of the eternal mechanism, I am the same abundance. Any and all limiting subconscious patterns regarding money in my subconscious mind that are limiting are now eliminated, neutralized and gone. Every concept in my subconscious mind regarding money, income and wealth now expands. I am free in the freedom of money. Money is God in action. Money is God in circulation. Money is life itself, flowing in, and flowing out. Money is good. Money is great. I appreciate it. I praise it. I rejoice in it. Money is an idea in the mind of God, of ease and freedom. I am the idea in the mind of God; therefore, these ideas now come together and become one, are one. I AM money. I decree this in my own mind, I ACT AS IF and it is so.

LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS Communication with people. It is that which unifies unites and maintains us as free people. It is without possession, without the need to control. ACT:

56

Know that there is one infinite mind, one spirit, always in an eternal emotional field through which ideas can communicate, one with another. This is love this is relationships. Therefore, I decree that I AM this great composite idea of the infinite mind moving in an arena of balanced emotions, giving and receiving life, love, ideas, and success; all people communicate with me; I communicate with all people. Therefore there can be no closed doors. All channels of communication between myself and another living soul--these channels are opened and the flow both ways. I love to love with the love of God. This is balanced perfect communication. Any and all subconscious obstacles are now and forever gone. I believe this and so they are gone. It is definite in my consciousness now, and it operates and shall forevermore be. I ACT IT, I BELIEVE IT. And so it is. SELF Personal relationships-- one of those difficult fields of life. It will do anything that you believe it can do. The need of the soul to express individuality-- which you are. All of us have this need and are expressing it all the time. There is one individuality - the eternal I AM that is God. This is the oneness with God. This is my individuality right now. This individuality includes the totality of intelligence, love, wisdom, beauty, and truth. It has within it everything necessary for my full self-expression in all fields that I select, in all avocations as well as vocations. Therefore I now declare that I have full self expression. Any and all subconscious conditioning that would hinder or obstruct my total self expression is now denied and neutralized. I AM able to express my full and complete self. I accept this in my subconscious mind. So be it.

GRADITUDE The illustrations given in the last chapter will have conveyed to the reader the fact that the first step toward getting rich is to convey the idea of your wants to the formless substance. This is true, and you will see that in order to do so it becomes necessary to relate yourself to the formless intelligence in a harmonious way.
57

To secure this harmonious relation is a matter of such primary and vital importance that I shall give some space to its discussion here and give you instructions which, if you will follow them, will be certain to bring you into perfect unity of mind with the supreme power, or God. The whole process of mental adjustment and attunement can be summed up in one word: Gratitude. First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance, from which all things proceed. Second, you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire. And third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude. Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude. Having received done gift from God, they cut the wires which connect them with him by failing to make acknowledgment. It is easy to understand that the nearer we live to the source of wealth, the more wealth we shall receive, and it is easy also to understand that the soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to him in thankful acknowledgment. The more gratefully we fix our minds on the supreme when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come. And the reason simply is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come. If it is a new thought to you that gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the universe, consider it well, and you will see that it is true. The good things you have already have come to you along the line of obedience to certain laws. Gratitude will lead your mind out along the ways by which things come, and it will keep you in close harmony with creative thought and prevent you from falling into competitive thought. Gratitude alone can keep you looking toward the all, and prevent you from falling into the error of thinking of the supply as limited and to do that would be fatal to your hopes.

58

There is a law of gratitude, and it is absolutely necessary that you should observe the law if you are to get the results you seek. The law of gratitude is the natural principle that action and reaction are always equal and in opposite directions. The grateful outreaching of your mind in thankful praise to the supreme intelligence is a liberation or expenditure of force. It cannot fail to reach that to which it addressed, and the reaction is an instantaneous movement toward you. Draw nigh unto God, and he will draw nigh unto you. That is a statement of psychological truth. And if your gratitude is strong and constant, the reaction in formless substance will be strong and continuous; the movement of the things you want will be always toward you. Notice the grateful attitude that Jesus took, how he always seems to be saying, I thank thee, Father, that thou hearest me. You cannot exercise much power without gratitude, for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with power. But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future. Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are. The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, the squalid, and the mean and your mind takes the form of these things. Then you will transmit these forms or mental images to the formless. And the common, the poor, the squalid, and the mean will come to you. To permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things. On the other hand, to fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best, and to become the best. The creative power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention. We are of thinking substance, too, and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about. The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.
59

Also, faith is born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. The reaction of gratitude upon ones own mind produces faith, and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith. The person who has no feeling of gratitude cannot long retain a living faith, and without a living faith you cannot get rich by the creative method, as we shall see in the following chapters. It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. Do not waste a lot of time thinking or talking about the short-comings or wrong actions of those in power. Their organization of the world has created your opportunity; all you get really comes to you because of them. Do not rage against corrupt politicians. If it were not for politicians we should fall into anarchy and your opportunity would be greatly lessened. God has worked a long time and very patiently to bring us up to where we are in industry and government, and he is going right on with his work. There is not the least doubt that he will do away with plutocrats, trust magnates, captains of industry, and politicians as soon as they can be spared, but in the meantime, they are all very necessary. Remember that they are all helping to arrange the lines of transmission along which your riches will come to you, and be grateful. This will bring you into harmonious relations with the good in everything, and the good in everything will move toward you.

A SUMMARY OF THE ART AND SCIENCE OF LIFE There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance, the infinite can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.

60

In order to do this, a person must pass from the struggling to the creative mind. Otherwise you cannot be in harmony with formless intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit. A person may come into full harmony with God, the infinite, the formless substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon them. Gratitude unifies the minds of individuals with the intelligence of substance, so that a persons thoughts are received by the formless. A person can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude. A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become, and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The person who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the formless and the creative forces set in motion. The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the person who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce, love, wealth, health and personal empowerment. In order to receive his own when it is ready to come to him, a person must be in action in a way that causes him to more than fill his present place. They must keep in mind the purpose to get rich, or healthy, find love or personal empowerment through realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day all that can be done that day taking care to do each act in a successful manner. You must give to every person a use value in excess of the value they receive, so that each transaction makes for more life, and we
61

must hold the advancing thought so that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact. The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get wealthy, healthy love and personal power, and all they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude. You if pick someone at random and say I love or hate this person over and over again to yourself watch what happens, you will find you will start to love or hate these people. The same is true about all the things in your life
