You have all read of "Aladdin's



Lamp," which accomplished such

wonderful things. This, of course,

is only a fairy tale, but it

illustrates the fact that man has

within him The Power, if he is

Able to use it, to gratify his

every wish.

If you are unable to satisfy your

deepest longings it is time you

learned how to use your God-given

powers. You will soon be

conscious that you have latent

powers within capable when once

developed of revealing to you

priceless knowledge and unlimited

possibilities of success.

Man should have plenty of everything

and not merely substance to

live on as so many have. All natural

desires can be realized. It

would be wrong for the Infinite to

create wants that could not be

supplied. Man's very soul is in his

power to think, and it,

therefore, is the essence of all

created things. Every instinct

of man leads to thought, and in

every thought there is great

possibility because true thought

development, when allied to

those mysterious powers which

perhaps transcend it, has been the

cause of all the world's true progress.

In the silence we become conscious

of "that something" which

transcends thought and which uses

thought as a medium for

expression. Many have glimpses of

"that something," but few ever

reach the state where the mind is

steady enough to fathom these

depths. Silent, concentrated thought

is more potent than spoken

words, for speech distracts from

the focusing power of the mind

by drawing more and more attention

to the without.

Man must learn more and more to

depend on himself; to seek more

for the Infinite within. It is

from this source alone that he

ever gains the power to solve his

practical difficulties. No one

should give up when there is

always the resources of Infinity.

The cause of failure is that men

search in the wrong direction

for success, because they are not

conscious of their real powers

that when used are capable of

guiding them.

The Infinite within is foreign to

those persons who go through

life without developing their

spiritual powers. But the Infinite

helps only he who helps himself.

There is no such thing as a

Special "Providence." Man will not

receive help from the Infinite

except to the extent that he believes

and hopes and prays for

help from this great source.

Concentrate on What You Want and Get

It. The weakling is

controlled by conditions. The strong

man controls conditions. You

can be either the conqueror or the

conquered. By the law of

Reiki - Concentration you can achieve

your heart's desire. This law is so

powerful that that which at first

seems impossible becomes attainable.

By this law what you at first see

as a dream becomes a reality.

Remember that the first step in

Reiki - Concentration is to form

a Mental Image of what you wish

to accomplish. This image becomes a

thought-seed that attracts thoughts

of a similar nature. Around

this thought, when it is once

planted in the imagination or

creative region of the mind,

you group or build associated

thoughts which continue to grow

as long as your desire is keen

enough to compel close Reiki ?

Concentration.

Form the habit of thinking of

something you wish to accomplish

for five minutes each day. Shut

every other thought out of

consciousness. Be confident that

you will succeed; make up your

mind that all obstacles that are

in your way will be overcome and

you can rise above any environment.

You do this by utilizing the

natural laws of the thought world

which are all powerful.

A great aid in the development of

Reiki - Concentration is to write out

your thoughts on that which lies

nearest your heart and to

continue, little by little, to add

to it until you have as nearly

as possible exhausted the subject.

You will find that each day as you

focus your forces on this

thought at the center of the stream

of consciousness, new plans,

ideas and methods will flash into

your mind. There is a law of

attraction that will help you

accomplish your purpose. An

advertiser, for instance, gets to

thinking along a certain line.

He has formed his own ideas, but he

wants to know what others

think. He starts out to seek ideas

and he soon finds plenty of

books, plans, designs, etc., on the

subject, although when he

started he was not aware of

their existence.

The same thing is true in all lines.

We can attract those things

that will help us. Very often we

seem to receive help in a

miraculous way. It may be slow in

coming, but once the silent

unseen forces are put into operation,

they will bring results so

long as we do our part. They are ever

present and ready to aid

those who care to use them. By forming

a strong mental image of

your desire, you plant the thought-seed

which begins working in

your interest and, in time, that desire,

if in harmony with your

higher nature, will materialize.

It may seem that it would be

unnecessary to caution you to

concentrate only upon achievement

that will be good for you and

work no harm to another, but there

are many who forget others and

their rights, in their anxiety to

achieve success. All good

things are possible for you to have,

but only as you bring your

forces into harmony with that law

that requires that we mete out

justice to fellow travelers as we

journey along life's road. So

first think over the thing wanted

and if it would be good for you

to have; say, "I want to do this;

I am going to work to secure

it. The way will be open for me."

If you fully grasp mentally the thought

of success and hold it in

mind each day, you gradually make

a pattern or mold which in time

will materialize. But by all means

keep free from doubt and fear,

the destructive forces. Never allow

these to become associated

with your thoughts.

At last you will create the desired

conditions and receive help

in many unlooked-for ways that will

lift you out of the undesired

environment. Life will then seem

very different to you, for you

will have found happiness through

awakening within yourself the

power to become the master of

circumstances instead of their

slave.

To the beginner in this line of

thought some of the things stated

in this book may sound strange,

even absurd, but, instead of

condemning them, give them a trial.

You will find they will work out.

The inventor has to work out his

idea mentally before he produces

it materially. The architect first

sees the mental picture of the

house he is to plan and from this

works out the one we see. Every

object, every enterprise, must

first be mentally created.

I know a man that started in business

with thirteen cents and not

a dollar's worth of credit. In ten

years he has built up a large

and profitable business. He attributes

his success to two

things--belief that he would succeed

and hard work. There were

times when it did not look like he

could weather the storm. He

was being pressed by his creditors

who considered him bankrupt.

They would have taken fifty cents

on the dollar for his notes and

considered themselves lucky. But by

keeping up a bold front he

got an extension of time when needed.

When absolutely necessary

for him to raise a certain sum at a

certain time he always did

it. When he had heavy bills to meet

he would make up his mind

that certain people that owed him

would pay by a certain date and

they always did. Sometimes he would

not receive their check until

the last mail of the day of the

extension, and I have known him

to send out a check with the prospect

of receiving a check from

one of his customers the following day.

He would have no reason

other than his belief in the power

of affecting the mind of

another by Reiki - Concentration of

thought for expecting that check, but

rarely has he been disappointed.

Just put forth the necessary

concentrated effort and you will be

wonderfully helped from sources

unknown to you.

Remember the mystical words of

Jesus, the Master: "Whatsoever

thing ye desire when ye pray,

pray as if ye had already received

and ye shall have."
