thinking produces inharmony in our body1 which in turn produces sickness4 ,our bodies sometimes are instantly re-harmonized while in the ,silence4 ,in the ,silence our minds become passive1 open1 free and loving1 at which time the ,infinite ,master of harmony touches the mental chords of our being and we are well4 ,just as the piano can be tuned1 so can the mind4 ,man's body is made up of twelve octaves the same as in music4 ,all matter is music4 ,all matter is composed of twelve octaves4 ,wrong thinking brings inharmony in some of the octaves of our body4 ,right thinking tunes these organs1 puts them back into their normal condition4 ,boys have their little steel magnets by which they pick up small pieces of steel1 pins and so forth4 ,when overworked1 these magnets no longer attract4 ,then the boys take their magnets1 have them rubbed against strong magnets or remagnetized with an electric current and their power is quickly restored--so with our bodies4 ,mind is the re-electrifier and re-harmonizer of the octaves into all harmony4 ,right thinking1 therefore1 is the most important thing in life4 ,as a man thinketh in his heart so is he4 ,just as a tuning fork near a piano will respond with a vibration when a key of the same pitch is struck on the piano nearby1 so likewise do the bodies of men respond to proper stimulus and become in tune4 ,by right thinking man can re-harmonize himself1 can achieve health1 success and prosperity4 ,to enter the ,silence one must first establish perfect relaxation in mind and body4 ,then as the consciousness is brought from one part of the body to another the tuning takes place4 ,if the leader in the ,silence should be intoning1 there will be many in the audience who will feel tinkling sensations--vibrations--and often are instantly healed4 ,they have been instantly re-harmonized4 ,sometimes it may take several intonings in the ,silence for a complete healing4 ,should you have a violent vibration1 feel no fear1 but thank ,god for your healing because the more violent the vibration perhaps the worse has been your condition and the more surely has the re-harmony begun4 ,some people will feel this vibration for hours1 even days1 throughout which there is always healing4 ,others may not feel the vibration at all1 yet if there has been any inharmony in the bodily organs1 these organs are unconscious to the conscious intoning re-harmonization4 ,many people who have been healed of divers and many malignant diseases were at no time conscious of any vibration4 ,never be discouraged if you feel no sensation4 ,if you do feel a vibration1 know that you are susceptible and on the high road to a healing demonstration4 ,the one intoning may or may not be feeling vibrations4 ,religion is the life of ,god in the soul of ,man4 ,the ,silence is the medium by which the life of ,god and the soul of man are brought into ,at-one-ment4 ,the ,silence is a medium by which man comes in a closer touch with the ,infinite2 a medium by which man becomes conscious of his nearness to the ,infinite4 ,the ,silence is the meeting place where man's spirit links with ,god's spirit2 where spirit meets spirit and the marvel of ,his grace never ceases4 ,the ,silence is another way of praying1 which is another way of concentration4 ,it is another way of visualization4 ,as a man thinketh in his heart so is he4 ,in the ,silence a man can by his thoughts change his life1 his conditions1 his environment1 his all4 ,by right thinking man becomes harmonious4 ,a harmonious man--in tune with the ,infinite--is on the ,king's highway to health1 success1 abundance1 prosperity1 happiness1 love and peace4 ,by means of wrong thinking our minds are put out of harmony with the great ,infinite spirit of ,god4 ,as a man thinketh in his heart so is he4 ,when wrong thinking becomes right thinking1 then man's right relationship to ,god is restored4 ,he becomes an open channel for the influx of the spirit so that whatever demonstration he may desire he may have4 ,in the ,silence a man may change his thinking as in no other way1 therefore1 may change his heart1 change his whole being1 change his environment1 change every condition to which he was subject4 ,the human body may be likened to a harp4 ,when man thinks rightly his body is in tune2 but wrong thinking creates inharmony in the body and produces sickness4 ,wrong thinking produces inharmony in the mind1 which1 of course1 disconnects man from rightful association with the ,divine4 ,a man must1 therefore1 think right4 ,yet1 because of centuries of erroneous conception of ,god and of the world1 man has been a negative instead of a positive being1 and his unwisdom has reacted upon the present generation4 ,we are mental sending and receiving stations4 ,what we receive depends upon how we are thinking ,now4 ,for success1 health and happiness we must in the silent chambers of the soul change our thinking if we are holding negative or inharmonious thoughts4 ,in the ,silence there is presented to man his greatest opportunity to change his thinking4 ,wrong thinking produces inharmony of the body which in turn produces sickness4 ,if we change to right thinking we have health1 success and happiness4 ,therefore the ,silence when properly used re-harmonizes our bodies and minds through the simple agency of right thinking4 ,there are steps of approach to the ,silence4 ,stillness is one thing and the ,silence is another4 ,one may quiet himself physically and not be still1 and he may be still without entering the ,silence4 ,when one becomes physically and mentally at rest1 he is apt to become receptive to psychic influences2 and when these are not desired it is advisable to protect oneself while mentally negative4 ,one may affirm his ,oneness with ,god1 his being surrounded and protected by the divine ,goodness1 and may symbolize this by enveloping himself in thought with the white light of love or the mellowed tints of sunshine4 ,with the senses calmed and unresponsive to the slower vibrations1 but responsive to the quicker ones1 a peace and calm pervade one's mind1 and it becomes consciously receptive to higher vibrations of vital energy4 ,immune from the lesser harmonies1 one opens himself to the greater ones1 which are always seeking avenues of expression4 ,with the greater influx of the ,one ,life1 a sense of power steals over one and he becomes conscious of increased vigor and vitality4 ,in relinquishing specific thoughts1 one opens inwardly rather than outwardly1 and becomes receptive to subconscious impressions that are directed by his conscious affirmation of fundamental ,truth4 ,the subconscious responds by returning to the conscious the logical sequences of the ,truths that have been consciously impressed upon it4 ,the subconscious follows the lead given to it by the conscious affirmations of ,truth1 and it brings back the consciousness of those ,truths in their various ramifications4 ,health ,silence ,select one or more of the affirmations or formulas below to hold in thought while in the ,silence4 ,you may change or vary these as you choose3 ,soul is health1 spirit is health1 ,god is health1 ,i am health4 ,since there is but one mind1 there is but one mentality4 ,this mind and mentality is ,god2 ,god is health4 ,i am health4 ,i am whole1 perfect1 strong1 powerful1 loving1 harmonious and happy and what ,i am myself ,i desire for everyone else4 ,i am filled with the abundant1 intelligent1 ever-present life of ,spirit4 ,it flows through me freely1 cleansing1 healing1 purifying and vitalizing every part4 ,i am one with this life and in it ,i am every whit whole4 ,the all-powerful ,christ ,mind in me dissolves and dissipates every adverse thought4 ,my body is the pure and ,holy ,temple of the ,living ,god1 and every organ and every function is now in ,divine ,order and ,harmony4 ,all the organs of my body are functioning normally and ,i am well1 whole and complete4 ,all is mind1 all is ,god1 all is universal energy4 ,i am part of creative force and ,i am health1 abundance1 joy and peace4 ,i am filled1 ,i am thrilled with ,life ,eternal and ,i radiate that life within to me and without to all4 ,every experience of my life has been for my good and ,i am happy in living4 ,god is ,spirit4 ,i 7use your own name7 am life4 ,life ,spirit is now flowing through me freely and ,i am well1 whole and complete4 ,be still and know that ,i am ,god4 ,,use ,,the ,,following ,,as ,a ,,basis ,,for ,,your ,,meditation ,,as ,,you ,,demonstrate ,,health4 ,,of ,,course1 ,,you ,,may ,,use ,,other ,,thoughts ,,provided ,,they ,,are ,,constructive ,,health ,,thoughts4 ,you may practice the ,silence sitting1 reclining1 or in bed4 ,there is no better way to learn how to relax than by going into the ,silence4 ,are you tense8 ,let go4 ,relax4 ,then direct the mind to go from one part of the body to another4 ,take a deep breath between each change of your consciousness4 ,be sure to use the diaphragmatic or abdominal breathing--breathing through the nostrils1 mouth closed until the muscles of the abdomen expand4 ,the best time to hold the ,silence is as you retire at night1 and just as you awaken in the morning4#b ,but you should hold your thought at least three times a day1 without stress or strain1 without doubt or worry1 passive in mind and body--perfectly relaxed4 ,hold the ,silence or thought upon retiring at night1 awakening in the morning1 and at noon day4 ,of course1 you may take any other time that is convenient4 ,you may concentrate on the roadway1 street car1 home or office1 but it is well1 if possible1 to have one room for your ,silence4 ,most people in that way will build up stronger vibrations4 ,at noon now there are all over the world thousands of others holding ,silence so that there is a great combined mental force working together at one time for success1 health1 prosperity and happiness1 and we therefore get the benefit of this great vibration4 ,the more often you hold the ,silence without stress or strain1 as a rule1 the quicker may be the demonstration4 ,the real part of me is ,spirit1 not matter4 ,i believe that this body of mine is a ,tabernacle for the ,spirit4 ,the real ,i am within me is therefore ,spirit4 ,the real me is ,spirit4 ,this ,spirit is the ,god ,spirit4 ,this is what ,jesus meant when in the fourteenth chapter of ,john and again in the seventeenth chapter of the same ,gospel1 speaking to ,his ,disciples ,he referred to ,i in you1 you in ,me and ,we in ,god4 ,my ,spirit is a part of the ,god ,spirit4 ,god is health1 ,god is perfection1 ,god is abundance1 ,god is harmonious4 ,therefore1 the real ,i am is ,god2 the real ,i am is health1 perfection1 abundance and harmony4 ,when ,i am sick ,i know that it is the material of me that is sick1 not the ,god ,spirit2 it is my physical being which is out of harmony1 it is this ,tabernacle of which ,paul speaks1 housing my spirit1 which gives me pain and suffering4 ,the real me is not sick1 it is my body4 ,for centuries we have held to a wrong idea of life4 ,we have thought that life is material2 but life is spiritual1 it is the invisible within me which is eternal1 which is ,god4 ,many still believe that life is material and matter1 instead of mind and spirit4 ,i no longer hold that conception4 ,i believe that all is mind and ,spirit4 ,just here is where the healing methods of drugs and the scientist's explanation of life is so limited4 ,not until we recognize that life is really a thing of spirit--not matter but mind--not material but spiritual--do we come into an understanding of ,truth4 ,jesus said1 ,god is ,spirit1 and on different occasions told ,his ,disciples that this ,spirit was within them as well as within ,himself4 ,therefore1 this same ,spirit is within me and this same ,spirit is the ,god ,spirit of health1 abundance1 happiness1 harmony and perfection4 ,god is all health1 all abundance1 all harmony1 peace and perfection4 ,therefore the ,god ,spirit within me is the same4 ,i am sick in body2 not in mind1 not in ,spirit4 ,inasmuch as ,i cannot conceive of ,god being sick neither can ,i conceive of my ,spirit being sick4 ,my spirit is health1 perfection and harmony4 ,my body may not be well1 but since mind is all1 since this material is subject to the spiritual1 since matter is subject to mind1 ,i believe and affirm that my health does not depend upon matter but upon the ,god ,spirit within me4 ,it depends not upon the material but the spiritual1 upon the ,god mind within4 ,just as wood when made into a violin and properly tuned1 will give forth harmony1 so my body1 though made in the material1 when properly tuned by mind will give forth harmonious living1 perfect health4 ,as the tree standing in the forest may be made into the violin music box of harmony1 so my body1 the material in the forest of matter1 may be put in tune1 become harmonious and be raised to perfection by the ,master ,musician1 ,god--,his mind within me4 ,god is all health4 ,no one could conceive of ,god as being sick4 ,i can visualize only the eternal spirit of the ,infinite ,father4 ,perfection existing in everything and ,i being a child in ,spirit1 am well1 whole and complete in ,spirit4 ,my real ,i am is well4 ,science now asserts that matter is composed of twelve octaves1 just as in music4 ,my body is the composite of these twelve octaves4 ,science also says that every cell atom1 every electron in my body is intelligent4 ,this spirit of mine is housed in the ,tabernacle of the body which is composed of millions and millions of cells1 all of which having intelligence respond in my body according to the way ,i think4 ,every word ,i entertain1 every thought ,i hold1 influences everyone of the millions of cells making up this ,tabernacle4 ,my body is made whole and complete physically4 ,that is1 all the cells of my body are made over new every eleven months4 ,the body ,i have today is not the body ,i had eleven months ago4 ,i get a new body every eleven months and my body is today what my thinking was yesterday1 the day before that and the months before that4 ,my body in the future depends upon my thinking in the future4 ,i am what ,i think ,i am4 ,when ,i affirm that ,i am well1 whole and complete2 that ,i am perfect1 harmonious and strong1 ,i am suggesting to every atom in my body perfection and every atom in turn begins to make my body over1 new in health and and in perfection4 ,i may or ,i may not have to wait for the element of time to make over every cell4 ,that may be done spontaneously and instantly4 ,there is no limitation to the power of ,god so ,i shall not set a time limit for my healing1 knowing that all things are possible with the ,father4 ,i affirm that now ,i have that which ,i desire4 ,i know that now the ,spirit of divine health is surging through me1 touching and reaching every atom of my body and that now the ,god ,spirit within me is perfect and that ,spirit makes my body perfect4 ,man is a ,spiritual ,being4 ,man expresses himself mentally and manifests himself physically4 ,the ,one ,life animates all that exists4 ,harmony of existence depends upon the polarities of the three aspects of life4 ,the mind is at ease when open to the inflow of the ,spirit4 ,it is discordant when it follows sensory impressions4 ,the body is healthy when responsive to the direction of the spiritualized mind4 ,it becomes diseased when it accepts the physical as its guide4 ,one achieves mental ease and physical health through his mental polarity4 ,if open to the physical and closed to the spiritual1 discord will prevail4 ,if open to the spiritual and closed to the physical1 he lives the ,one ,life1 in mental ease and physical health4 ,i open my mind to the inflow of the ,spirit4 ,i place my body under the control of my spiritualized mind4 ,i feel the ,one ,life animate my mind and my body4 ,i ,,am a ,spiritual ,being4 ,i ,,am ,perfect ,health6 99 99 99 99 99 ,miscellaneous ,silence#c ,,thought ,,to ,,hold ,,in ,,the ,,silence ,,for ,,abundance 7,see also ,abundance1 page #bc7 ,the ,universal ,abundant ,spirit ,supplies ,all ,my ,needs4 ,there is no want or limitation in the law4 ,if1 perchance1 there should appear to be lack of1 or need of1 abundance in our lives1 it is because of wrong thinking--not because there is a lack of abundance4 ,therefore1 we should enter the ,silence with the profound faith and conviction that the world is filled with plenty1 and that all our needs are most bountifully supplied4 ,the mind should be saturated with the conviction that all life is filled with abundance--all space is overflowing with abundance--all living comes from an abundant source of supply4 ,in a ,universe where this is true1 there can be no want1 no lack for you or yours 7for me or mine74 ,as you take your exercises this month1 take the affirmation above4 ,as you walk on the street to your office1 or place of business1 continue this thought4 ,as you go about your daily duties in the home or workshop1 let the mind be saturated with a spirit1 a feeling and thinking of abundance--,the opulence of the ,universal ,source of ,supply now meets all my needs1 ,the ,abundant ,life ,giving ,spirit of ,prosperity now leads and guides me into the paths of plenty1 peace and power1 ,my mind is filled with prosperous thoughts1 my being is pulsating in abundant rhythm1 my soul is uplifted and sustained by a thousand thoughts of ever-present abundance1 prosperity and opulence4 ,as these thoughts are maintained and repeated again and again1 absorbed and sunk deep into the subconscious mind1 know that all of your needs are this minute supplied4 ,know that you could not ask for anything from the ,universal ,spirit--,father1 ,god--without that ,spirit being most willing to supply1 instantly1 all your needs4 ,the spirit and body are well1 but the flesh is weak4 ,allow your flesh to be stimulated1 and your body to respond by thoughts of abundance1 prosperity and opulence4 ,i am now rich in thought1 rich in body and rich in spirit4 ,i am now part of the abundant ever-present spirit of prosperity and opulence4 ,all that ,i need is now mine1 mine1 mine4 ,the ,universal ,abundant ,spirit supplies all my needs4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,thought ,,to ,,hold ,,in ,,meditation ,,in ,,the ,,silence ,,for ,,misfortunes1 ,,grief1 ,,mistakes1 ,,reverses1 ,,failure1 ,,sorrow1 ,,loss ,,and ,,disappointment ,all is ,good4 ,we are entering upon a new consciousness for the human race1 a higher plane of mentality1 and a greater development of the spiritual life4 ,in spirit1 of course1 there is no wrong1 no sorrow1 no grief1 no misfortune1 no losses1 no reverses4 ,in short all is perfection4 ,the age in which we are living has not yet developed this spiritual understanding4 ,we are still of the earth--earthly--and we are still in that consciousness where the physical is affected by seeming misfortunes1 reverses1 sorrows1 griefs1 trouble1 sickness1 etc4 ,we may be wise in not expecting that suddenly this generation of man will reach that spiritual plane where there will be no recognition of anything except good4 ,we are a part of the ,infinite ,spirit ourselves and1 of course1 in spirit1 we are perfection4 ,but this physical body of ours manifests imperfection from time to time1 because of our past training and past thinking1 because of our own consciousness4 ,in time there is no doubt in my mind but that the spirit within will make a perfect body without4 ,this perfection will be recognized in health and in peace of mind4 ,it will be recognized so that there will be no such thing as misfortunes1 sorrows1 reverses1 failures1 griefs1 disappointments or losses being able to affect our mentality or our body4 ,in this state of consciousness1 as we are emerging from the chrysalis1 material stage of man into the greater life1 into the deeper spiritual understanding1 we are subject to certain conditions not conducive to peace of mind without an effort4 ,in other words1 we recognize1 or feel the effects of losses1 misfortunes1 disappointments1 sorrows1 griefs1 etc4 ,we recognize now1 that the time is coming when the spirit will be so completely in control of matter in the body1 that we will not recognize any inharmony4 ,to reach that ,great ,spirit is one of the big forward steps in this generation4 ,to reach that spiritual plane also means the right kind of thinking now4 ,we plan1 today1 for tomorrow4 ,this is true in every walk of life4 ,we plan our home today--and build it tomorrow4 ,we make our merchandise today and market it tomorrow4 ,we sow our seed today and we reap the harvest tomorrow4 ,we build our career today1 little by little1 and we reach the outcome tomorrow4 ,therefore1 our thinking today will change our tomorrow4 ,the thinking of this generation will change the condition of tomorrow's generation4 ,if tomorrow's generation is going to be free from the recognition of sorrows1 misfortunes1 griefs1 fears1 pain1 losses1 failures1 reverses1 inharmony1 discord1 etc41 it depends upon our seed sowing4 ,our seed sowing today should be ,all is ,good4 ,all is ,good in spirit4 ,you can say that and be honest with yourself4 ,all is perfection in spirit4 ,all is good for us in spirit4 ,all is good for our lives here4 ,spirit transcends matter4 ,when we recognize1 affirm1 and continue to hold the constructive thought that ,all is ,good in spirit1 we are changing our own mental attitude1 our own bodies1 all matter in general--getting ready for the greater realization of the spiritual manifestation in the next generation4 ,therefore1 for your own good here today in success1 prosperity and happiness as well as in health1 peace and harmony1 begin to pronounce over everything in life1 ,all is ,good4 ,if you have any misunderstandings1 ,all is ,good4 ,if you have any losses1 ,all is ,good1 any reverses1 ,all is ,good1 any sorrow1 ,all is ,good1 any inharmony1 ,all is ,good4 ,in everything at all that is out of perfection you must recognize only the good4 ,,all ,,is ,,good4 ,sending your thought energy by repeating ,all is ,good1 and thinking ,all is ,good1 and living ,all is ,good1 you will actually1 in this day1 overcome your difficulty1 and turn all of your mistakes1 blunders and misfortunes into stepping stones for your own success1 health and happiness4 ,i enter the ,silence this month1 this day1 this hour and this minute4 ,my mind is obsessed and under control of the ,divine ,spirit1 ,i recognize here and now only good4 ,i see in my fellowmen only perfection and good4 ,i see in nature all around me only perfection and good4 ,i see in every transaction of life only the perfect good4 ,i see in every activity of my experience1 and in every form1 color and thought1 good4 ,all is ,good for me now1 today and forever4 ,god is

,base your thought for this ,silence upon the following4 ,you may add any constructive thought you choose4 ,my ,subconscious ,mind1 ,i ,desire and ,command ,you to ,have ,peace1 ,harmony and ,justice ,reign in the ,hearts of ,men ,everywhere4 ,i realize that there can be no negative thinking for my destruction1 downfall or harm sent out by anyone else that can reach my consciousness1 or do me ill1 unless ,i am afraid that such negative thinking will produce the evil effects others are planning4 ,i know that ,thought is ,energy4 ,this is scientifically demonstrated1 and ,i realize that a constructive thought has much more energy than a destructive thought4 ,i know1 because it has been conclusively proven1 that constructive thinking will blast away every negative thought-current sent out by one person1 or by a thousand4 ,therefore1 if there should be any inharmonious thoughts anywhere in the world--any discordant thought-current by those who seek my downfall1 or block my progress1 or by those who would endeavor to hurt my reputation--,i know that by holding a harmonious attitude of peace1 love1 joy and success for everyone1 including those who would do me wrong that such constructive thought-currents will blast away all of the discordant and inharmonious mental currents of evil so that they will not even reach my conscious mind4 ,i also realize1 when ,i hold my silent thought1 my subconscious mind ,i desire and command you to have peace and harmony and justice reign1 that ,i am sending out the energy of construction which is bound to turn all of the efforts for my embarrassment and destruction into a higher current for my greater achievement4 ,therefore1 ,i send out blessings and thanksgiving to the very ones who would work my downfall4 ,i charge my subconscious mind to let peace1 harmony and justice reign so that all things will work together for the good for me and for those who are thinking evil4 ,if ,i should think it hard to send out blessings to my enemies1 ,i remember the affirmation of the ,greatest ,teacher of all ages ,who said1 ,forgive until seventy times seven4 ,i remember that when ,he1 ,himself1 was reviled1 reviled not in turn4 ,i remember that when ,his merciless enemies had nailed ,him to the cross1 had apparently crushed ,his fondest ambition1 had scorned and reviled the ,kingdom of which ,he had spoken1 and had tortured ,him as ,he hung on the cross1 ,he uttered the immortal1 lovable1 constructive words which have rung throughout the centuries1 and will continue to bless all mankind throughout eternity3 ,father1 forgive them1 for they know not what they do4 ,so those who would try to block my way1 curb my progress or put thorns in my crown are doing so not knowing what they are doing4 ,whatsoever a man soweth1 that shall he also reap4 ,instead of hurting me1 they are sowing weed seeds1 which shall bring forth a harvest of weeds and tares in their own lives1 and not in mine4 ,i1 therefore1 do not wish them harm1 nor think that they should feel the reaction4 ,i do not have to concern myself about the negative people in the world--for the law takes care of them4 ,i shall always think constructive thoughts1 harmonious thoughts and loving thoughts4 ,my ,subconscious ,mind1 ,i desire and command you to have peace1 harmony and justice reign1 and know that all things are now working together for the good of my would-be enemies and for myself4 ,i relax 7here pause and wait71 take time for meditation 7here pause and rest relaxed7 and ,i become happy in the silence--holding my thought of peace1 harmony and justice reigning in the hearts of men everywhere--and1 as ,i relax and wait1 ,i feel my vibrations rise4 ,i am resting at ease1 in faith4 7,pause47 ,i am perfectly calm and contented4 7,pause47 ,i am sending out love1 peace and harmonious thoughts1 and1 as they go1 love1 peace and harmony will come to me4 ,these are now returning4 ,they enter my being and uplift my soul4 ,i am1 therefore1 sending out a strong current of spiritual blessings1 with such a spirit of helpfulness1 that ,i am getting back the same which ,i send out4 ,my harvest shall be peace1 love1 joy1 harmony1 justice and contentment1 because ,i am sowing the seed of love1 peace1 harmony1 joy1 contentment and justice into the great subconscious soil of the universe4 ,my ,subconscious ,mind1 ,i desire and command you to have peace1 harmony and justice reign everywhere throughout the world4 ,i wait--,i rest--,i am relaxed--,i am at ease and filled with the spirit of harmony4 ,i wait4 ,i listen for the spirit within4 ,i feel and hear the voice of infinite love sending back into my consciousness these thoughts which ,i send out4 ,i know that my every constructive thought blasts away a thousand destructive ones4 ,therefore1 ,i think peace1 joy1 love1 harmony and justice1 and1 as ,i utter these words slowly and prayerfully1 ,i feel my vibration rising--,i experience ease of mind and peace of soul4 ,harmony is now within and without4 ,i realize that ,i cannot send out my affirmation of peace1 love1 joy and harmony without peace1 love1 joy and harmony coming back to me4 ,i1 therefore1 send out my affirmation3 ,my ,subconscious ,mind1 ,i desire and command you to have peace1 harmony and justice reign-in the hearts of men wherever they may be4 ,i wait and listen--perfectly relaxed and at ease--and ,i feel the vibrations which ,i sent out coming back to me4 ,i1 therefore1 know that no harm can befall my dwelling place4 ,i know that whatever evil thoughts have been sent out for my destruction have been counter-blasted1 and that now everything is working for my good4 ,as ,i recognize1 and realize1 that all things work together for my good1 ,i am sending out love-thoughts that all things are working together for the good of those who would do me wrong4 ,they know not what they do4 ,they alone will have to reap the harvest of the weeds they are sowing4 ,my

,scripture3 ,my ways are not your ways1 saith the ,lord2 neither are my thoughts your thoughts1 for as the heavens are higher than the earth1 so are my thoughts higher than your thoughts4 ,i understand by this ,scripture that the thoughts of the ,infinite ,god are far above the understanding of finite me2 that ,god's ways are higher than my ways4 ,god moves in a mysterious way ,his wonders to perform4 ,i also have faith and conviction in my ultimate success because ,i am a part of the ,infinite ,spirit1 and in the ,infinite ,spirit1 there can be no failure4 ,i am harmonious1 complete and successful in ,spirit--in ,god4 ,i may not see my success today1 or ,i may feel as though ,i have accomplished little1 but ,i know that all my efforts and energies1 in the past1 present and future1 are working together for my good4 ,therefore1 ,i shall hold the thought that my success has already been achieved4 ,i am ,success1 ,i have success now and forever6 ,therefore1 ,i think only success2 ,i talk only success2 ,i believe only in success2 ,i am demonstrating success1 and ,i know that success is mine4 ,the needed lessons ,i am having now1 have had in the past1 and may require in the future1 are but necessary stepping stones to my greater success4 ,the apparent delay of my greater success means that ,i am now demonstrating more success than ,i could otherwise have4 ,dreams that ,i have dreamed1 visions that ,i have visualized1 and the goal that ,i have mapped out1 are all a part of my ultimate greater success4 ,i have that now6 ,i am successful now6 ,as ,moses went into the land of ,midian1 and spent forty years of his life as a shepherd in the wilderness--7apparently with no future before him--which1 however1 was the great schooling necessary for his greater triumphant success in the future7--so ,i may be1 in my land of ,midian1 apparently1 only a sheep herder1 but in reality getting the necessary training for my greater and ultimate success4 ,therefore1 ,i now rejoice in every experience ,i have--giving thanks for every apparent set back1 and for every seeming blocking of my purposes and aspirations4 ,i believe that my past experiences1 as well as present happenings1 are for my benefit1 and that ,i could not have been the great success ,i am1 and shall be1 had not the discouragements of yesterday1 the perplexities of today and the drawbacks of tomorrow come into my life4 ,i realize that ,i need to go into the land of ,midian2 that it is as necessary for me1 as it was for ,moses1 to spend a few years in the wilderness of ,life's experience4 ,i am happy to know that ,i am in such company as that of the ,great ,leader of his people1 and rejoice in the thought that the ,lord has called me to spend my time in the land of ,midian1 getting the necessary training for the greater things the ,lord has in store for me4 ,there is no place in the world where clouds do not gather1 and storms do not rage2 but when the storms abate1 and the skies clear1 then do we appreciate more fully the glories and beauties of ,god1 the ,universe and its natural laws1 and ,infinite ,love4 ,however1 ,i know by experience in the land of ,midian1 where clouds hover low1 and where storms try the soul and body1 that the dawn of a new day shall make life all the sweeter for me and mine4 ,moses could not have enjoyed leading his people into the promised land1 had he not been in the land of ,midian4 ,if he had stayed forever in the ,court of ,pharaoh1 with its attendant luxuries1 life would have taken on a dull1 monotonous hue1 and his experience would have seemed drab1 wearisome and pale4 ,i am glad for the privilege accorded me to be in the land of ,midian for a short time6 ,i know that1 as did ,moses1 ,i shall enjoy my promised land all the more when my greater success shall have been well worked out by the hand of ,divinity4 ,faith and conviction in my ultimate greater success is stronger today than ever6 ,i hold such a strong thought1 and such a deep and courageous faith in the workings of ,god's plan1 that ,i know ,i now have that which has been intended for me1 and nothing can take from me that which the ,lord hath prepared for my success1 health and happiness4 ,i know1 too1 that ,i shall learn daily to enjoy1 appreciate1 and make better use of the success ,i now possess2 that ,i shall unfold day by day into greater opportunities for more influence1 power1 friendship1 charity1 love1 comradeship and service4 ,i know that my present success is but a part of the greater success which the ,lord has waiting for me--just around the corner4 ,therefore1 ,i shall offer up prayers of thanksgiving and gratitude2 ,i shall work harder1 being more particular in the preparation for my greater work1 than ,i have been in the past--never doubting but that every moment spent in this greater preparation will bring added interests1 and a greater success in the future4 ,even as ,moses did not doubt the wisdom of the ,lord for a greater future 7when in the land of ,midian for forty years71 so shall ,i not doubt ,his ways today4 ,i claim1 with a joyful heart and an attitude of thanksgiving1 that my life could not have been as great in the future had ,i been denied my present experience4 ,i know that greater things are in store for me1 because ,god's thoughts are greater than my thoughts2 because ,he is giving me that training now1 in my land of ,midian1 which ,i most need4 ,i trust the guiding ,spirit of ,infinite ,love to lead me1 at the right time1 into my life's ,promised ,land4 ,the success today1 in my land of ,midian1 is attracting unto me the greater influence and power in my ,court of ,pharaoh1 and in my leadership1 as ,i lead others into that promised land which the ,lord has prepared for me and mine4 ,i smile--,i sing--,i rejoice1 and offer thanksgiving and gratitude for my success now and forever4 ,surely ,i believe more and more3 ,my thoughts are not your thoughts1 neither are my ways your ways1 saith the ,lord1 and all things are now working together for my good4 ,therefore1 ,i have faith and conviction in my ultimate success--in my greater success--in my greatest success6 99 99 99 99 99 ,,abundance 7,see also ,abundance1 page #aa7 ,there is abundance in the world for me given by the bountiful hand of ,omnipotence4 ,i gratefully claim and accept all the supply for my needs4 ,the old idea of orthodox prayer was that of supplication and begging4 ,i have spent a whole night at a time begging for a few pennies and supplicating for the salvation of others4 ,what waste of energy4 ,each time that we send up such a weak supplication as the attitude of a beggar1 with the timid1 frightful thoughts that only a beggar's mind can have--this condition of mind1 cross circuits the power to bring into our lives the very things we most desire4 ,when the beggar extends his hand for a copper1 he knows that not everyone who passes is going to give him a coin4 ,he1 therefore1 solicits more or less mechanically1 with a mind not positive or sure4 ,his hand is extended in timidity and weakness4 ,now and then he gets a coin from a sympathetic passer-by4 ,the same principle holds true for the man who prays in the old orthodox fashion4 ,he utters his petitions with doubts and misgivings1 with timidity and wonderings4 ,some of his prayers are answered--just as the occasional coin is cast to the beggar4 ,but most of the orthodox prayers sent up in the fashion of begging and supplicating are never answered4 ,of necessity1 they cannot be1 because the concentration is filled with fear and trembling4 ,only by positive and courageous thinking do we attract to ourselves the answers to our prayers4 ,when we are permeated with the spirit of doubt1 our petitions are cross-circuited4 ,therefore1 in making your affirmation this time1 rest assured that the abundant spirit of the ,universal ,supply has everything you need1 and has it now4 ,you have only to put your mind in a condition to receive4 ,you do not have to beg the sun for its rays1 nor ,god for ,his love4 ,it is there for the taking4 ,many of us keep the sunshine of abundance out of our lives by pulling down the curtain of doubt--just as we may go into a room1 pull down a shade and keep out the sun4 ,james ,russell ,lowell1 seventy-five years ago1 told us the same story in ,the ,vision of ,sir ,launfal1 when he said that ,heaven is given away and ,god may be had for the asking4 ,by gratefully accepting all of the supply for your needs1 you are running up the shade of positive faith and letting the sunlight of abundance in4 ,send out the desire for your supply to the ,universal ,mind and then rest--feeling that it has been acquired4 ,of course1 the stronger you concentrate1 without stress and strain 7as outlined in ,practical ,psychology and ,sex ,life1 by the author1 under the chapter ,how to get what you want1 and chapters on ,concentration71 and the more positive and courageous your concentration1 the stronger will be your mental thought currents and consequently the quicker your demonstration4 ,omnipotence has provided for me and mine1 ,i raise the shade of my faith and let in the ,sunlight of ,abundance4 ,i know ,i do not have to beg for this1 for it is mine now4 ,when first ,i saw the light of day1 the bountiful spirit of the ,father made all preparations for my life's necessities and pleasures4 ,they have been in the world since ,i was born4 ,i now claim and accept my supply4 ,from now on the spirit goes before me--making easy and prosperous all my ways--and ,i have abundance for every need4 ,from the bountiful hand of ,omnipotence ,i have abundant health--,i have abundant love--,i have abundant prosperity--,i have abundant peace4 ,my ,father careth for the grass of the field and the birds of the air--and ,he careth for me4 ,i realize it4 ,think it and live it now4 ,abundance for all my needs is mine1 now and forever4 99

prosperity1 unity in health and unity in spirit4 ,there can be no separation in ,spirit4 ,all is ,mind1 all is ,god1 all is ,universal ,energy4 ,i am part of the creative force4 ,i am a part and parcel of the ,unity of ,love1 ,nature and ,god4 ,therefore1 where ,god is1 ,i recognize a completeness4 ,and ,i1 being a part of ,god1 a part of this spirit1 a part of the power with ,him1 am1 therefore1 at one with ,god and all thought4 ,i am therefore at one with ,god and all spirit4 ,nothing can separate me from the love of ,god1 but my own mental attitude4 ,nothing can separate me from abundance1 happiness1 success1 prosperity and love1 but my own wrong thinking4 ,love is dealt in the world in the spirit of ,god and1 therefore1 recognizing this unity of love1 ,i am a part of it and have perfect love1 success1 prosperity1 abundance and health4 ,the ocean is composed of water4 ,if ,i take a bucket of water from the ocean1 it still is the water of the ocean4 ,i may take this water to an island in the sea4 ,though ,i have separated this water from the main body of the ocean1 it still is the water from the sea4 ,but1 as the water is separated from the main body of the ocean1 it loses its power1 its strength and many of its cardinal properties4 ,i am the same as the sea water when ,i1 by wrong thinking3--whether it be jealousy1 envy1 hatred1 misunderstanding1 worry or fear--separate myself from the spirit of ,god4 ,i am as one going upon an island of humanity4 ,i am still of that same spirit2 but it has been separated1 so that within me1 it has lost many of its cardinal virtues4 ,these virtues are there1 but ,i do not recognize them4 ,separation has lessened my strength1 my vitality1 my power1 my health1 my happiness1 my prosperity and my joy4 ,just as it is necessary for the bucket of water to remain in the ocean in order to contain all of its original power and to retain all of its original strength1 to be intact1 so is it necessary for man to keep in the spirit of at-one-ment with the ,father1 that we may manifest daily ,god's principle of ,unity with ,god1 man and nature4 ,when we have maintained that attitude of one-ness with the ,father in all respects1 we are then recognizing and expecting1 in this act1 the fullness of our spirit4 ,this fullness of our spirit will1 therefore1 give us health1 prosperity and happiness4 ,when ,i have a mind that is filled with negative1 discordant or inharmonious thoughts1 ,i am separating myself from the full expression of the ,divine within me4 ,i am the bucket of water going stale on a human island2 but1 when ,i make my spirit at one with the ,father by harmonious thinking1 by love1 kindness1 good will1 fellowship and co-operation1 ,i am not only maintaining all of my original properties1 but ,i am in correspondence with the ,infinite ,spirit so that ,i can manifest and express ,his original spirit in every particular4 ,where there is a unity of spirit1 there is unity of all the good things of life4 ,perhaps ,i am not drawing from the bank of life's experience everything that ,i ought to have--because ,i have separated myself from the spiritual board of directors in this bank of life1 and am not getting my dividends on time4 ,my mental attitude is the cause2 therefore1 as ,i enter the ,silence this time1 ,i am going to maintain the faith and the love-spirit of my unity with all things4 ,i maintain1 therefore1 my at-one-ment with ,god1 with man and nature4 ,i maintain that all of the original strength of spirit is mine4 ,i hold that the manifestations of this original spirit will produce everything in my life for my ultimate good1 because ,i am at one with the ,father4 ,all things are mine4 ,the ,silence1 this day1 finds me at one with all4 ,the ,silence1 this day1 finds me at peace with ,god1 ,man and ,nature4 ,the ,silence1 this day1 finds me in at-one-ment with ,god and all1 in unity with every conceivable thing in the universe4 ,therefore1 my unity1 my at-one-ment with the ,father1 my wholeness of spirit with ,god brings into my life everything for my good4 ,all things work together for my good in my at-one-ment with ,man1 ,god and ,nature--in my unity with all4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,how ,,to ,,have ,,more ,i ,am ,unselfish in ,action1 ,being and ,motive4 ,the science of psychology as applied to everyday life is1 strictly speaking1 a new science4 ,it is a matter of thousands of people in the world all of a sudden coming in contact with certain laws1 which make them successful1 healthy and prosperous4 ,it is quite natural1 because man is interested more in himself than in any one else1 that1 when he finds these laws may be applied to give him more abundance1 the tendency may be to use these laws for selfish purposes4 ,nothing could be more unpsychological4 ,the laws should be used for the individual1 but should not stop there4 ,each individual who is profiting by the operation of the laws1 or understanding of psychology1 ought not only to get everything himself that psychology can give him1 but he should pass these on to others2 he should tell others about it2 he should cry it from the housetops and megaphone it from the street corners4 ,he should not want to get everything himself1 but wish the same that he has to everyone else4 ,by doing this1 the law will rebound1 and1 instead of having less1 he will have still more than he would have were he thinking about the laws for himself alone4 ,the human race is made up of a whole lot of selfishness1 and the man1 or the woman1 who hopes to get the most out of life and out of psychology1 must learn at the very beginning of his or her understanding of the laws4 ,then1 only1 will the best come to those who are absolutely unselfish4 ,if there is any selfish motive or selfish desire in your heart1 you may operate the law and get a certain amount of benefit1 nay1 you may even become rich by it and have great power1 but it should not end there4 ,your riches are for the use of others1 as well as for yourselves1 and the real psychologist1 in getting his riches1 will pass on to others that which he has4 ,the real psychologist1 in getting more power1 will share it with others and will use it for the good of others1 as well as for his own personal aggrandizement4 ,therefore hold the thought3 ,i am unselfish in action1 being and motive4 ,many a person never will get the demonstrations he wants1 because the channel of abundance and prosperity1 happiness and joy1 is clogged up with his own selfish attitude4 ,the selfish person who does operate the laws1 does so by overbalancing his selfishness with some other great virtue4 ,but when he is extremely selfish1 he may never have demonstrations as he wants2 he may not have enough other virtues to outweigh his selfishness4 ,he may live for years1 and know what the laws are1 and yet lack this one little thing1 unselfishness1 in operating the laws for his own abundance1 prosperity or happiness4 ,if you are not having the demonstrations you want1 it is because there is a kink in the mind somewhere4 ,the kink may be selfishness1 or it may be pride1 haughtiness1 duplicity1 dishonesty1 hatred1 envy or jealousy4 ,this time we are going to hold the thought3 ,i am unselfish in action1 being and motive1 and each time we go into the ,silence1 this unselfish spirit shall be the guiding-star of our thoughts4 ,it will be the personal touch with the ,infinite ,spirit itself4 ,the beginning of life's happiness1 as well as the end thereof1 is the spirit of unselfishness4 ,i am unselfish in action1 being and motive4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,all ,,things ,,are ,,in ,,divine ,,order ,divine ,harmony and ,peace ,actuate ,every ,thought and ,action of ,my ,being4 ,i realize that all things are in ,divine

,divine ,harmony and ,peace actuate every thought and action of my being4 ,this thought is energy1 this thought is life1 this thought is power4 ,the energy1 life and power of this thought weaves all of my diversified ,life's experiences into a ,divine pattern of perfection for me4 ,there can be no trouble1 disappointments1 sorrow1 reverses1 loss or discord but that shall be changed for my good when ,i think ,spirit and live the affirmation of today1 namely1 ,divine ,harmony and ,peace actuate every thought and action of my being4 ,all things are in ,divine order4 ,the ,spirit of ,divinity prompts my thinking4 ,the ,divine within me actuates my actions4 ,the ,god ,powers within1 this minute are working all things together for my good4 ,there can be no danger come nigh my dwelling for my body is the temple of the living ,god4 ,therefore1 the ,god ,spirit within me protects me from all harm1 inspires me to high ideals1 lifts me to heights of righteousness and fills my soul with love4 ,love for my circumstances1 love for my present conditions1 love for my environment1 love for every one in the world1 love for all of the creation of ,god4 ,therefore ,i have no enemies1 for ,i love all4 ,i recognize no misfortunes1 for the love energy within turns all misfortunes and sorrows into stepping stones for my greater advancement and achievement4 ,the ,god energy within transforms all inharmonious conditions without into a perfect harmony within4 ,the ,kingdom of ,god now reigns within me and ,i am at ease1 at peace and at-one-ment with all nature and ,god4 ,the harmony therefore within me in nature and in ,god gives me perfect peace within and perfect peace without4 ,divine thought and energy1 love and blessing actuate every action of my being4 ,where ,divine ,love reigns there can be no trouble1 no discord1 no inharmony1 no lack1 no limitation1 no sorrow1 no grief1 no sickness1 no failure4 ,the energy of ,divine ,love transforms all things into my ,good4 ,the ,love and ,peace of the ,father abideth within me and is manifested without so that my life is one harmonious whole touching the lives of all others who come in contact with me so that they1 too1 feel my vibrations of at-one-ment with the ,father and they in turn become harmonious and complete in ,spirit with man and ,god4 ,divine ,harmony and ,peace actuate every thought and action of my being4 ,all things are in ,divine order4 99 99 99 99 99 ,,thought ,,to ,,hold ,,in ,,silence ,,and ,,to ,,meditate ,,upon ,,during ,,the ,,day ,,for ,,justice ,there's a ,spirit of ,justice that ,secures me in ,which is ,my ,own4 ,if we reach a consciousness of justice1 we need have no doubts as to our care in every particular while journeying between the two peaks of eternity--from birth to the ,great ,divide4 ,there is nothing that can defeat justice2 and the person who has a consciousness of justice will attract to himself every conceivable thing needed for this life1 because it will be the logical objective of justice to supply to each individual that justice for which he thinks4 ,that is the reason why this affirmation is so complete in itself2 namely1 ,there is a spirit of ,,justice that secures me in which is my own1 and this security is provided already for us by the ,spirit of ,justice4 ,it would be a psychological paradox to think that ,justice could be defeated4 ,that could not be4 ,perhaps it appears to you that your own has not yet been secured to you1 but1 remember that life is fleeting--that a year is as a tale that is told--and that a decade is but as ,ships that pass in the night--when the years have vanished in the distance4 ,if you have lived a life of justice1 and it appears now that your own is not coming to you1 that someone else is having more of the good things of life than you1 and that someone seems to have used the art of the man of injustice1 be not deceived1 ,god is not mocked1 for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap4 ,if you have sowed equity and justice in the days that are gone1 be sure that the same equity and justice will be secured to you4 ,the ,scriptures tell us not to think too much of the man who is nourishing like a green bay tree1 for his efforts are soon cut off and he vanisheth away4 ,one who is astride the scales of justice1 and who thinks that he can hold the balance1 is gravely mistaken4 ,he may have occupied his present position for many years1 first putting his weight on one side and then on the other in an effort to keep his equilibrium4 ,perhaps today it appears that the scales of justice are being well manipulated by his insincerity1 duplicity or trickery--but it is like the green bay tree4 ,it will soon pass away4 ,justice is as eternal as ,god ,himself1 and there is no more possibility of defeating it in the individual's life1 in your own life1 in the life of a nation or in the history of mankind1 than there is likelihood that the sun can get away from its own rays4 ,the justice of ,god is eternal1 or1 in other words1 ,god always is ,justice1 personified4 ,where ,god rules1 and where ,his laws and mandates have been given by ,his own fiat1 man1 neither flesh nor the devil can defeat the ultimate outcome of justice4 ,your own is secured to you4 ,man himself is fashioned by the finger of ,divinity4 ,the crown of justice is placed upon his brow and no ruthless hand of greed1 duplicity or evil dexterity can ever tear it away4 ,it is there to stay1 and the man who has been thus crowned because he has lived in this consciousness of justice--in the consciousness of ,god ,himself--is bound to have come back to him that which he has thought1 that which he has sowed--,justice4 ,you are secured by this spirit of justice4 ,perhaps already your life has had the law of compensation bring to you more than to others of whom you may think1 and who1 because of their bank account1 get more out of life than you4 ,a man may have a million dollars1 and yet not be as happy as the laborer living in a thatched cottage4 ,perhaps ,justice has tipped the scales in your favor already--and you have failed to recognize it4 ,perhaps you have children1 loved ones1 family and fireside which bring more comfort to you than the land owner gets who lives in his palace on the hill4 ,half of ,life1 or the joys of ,life1 depend upon our ability to recognize and appreciate the blessings we already have4 ,therefore1 in counting your blessings1 or discounting your blessings1 be sure that you use a moral standard1 instead of a material standard1 in gauging whether justice has been meted out to you or not4 ,the ,justice of the ,eternal secures me1 the ,spirit of ,justice secures me in which is mine own4 ,believe it1 think it1 live it1 claim it and ,justice shall be yours4 99 99 99 99 99 ,question--,in practicing the ,silence1 the mind seems to flutter all about and there is great nervous tension4 ,what is wrong8 ,answer--,lack of concentration4 ,this person ought to follow some simple exercise of concentration1 such as given below1 until the mind has control over the body4 ,by practicing a few of the simple exercises given below1 fifteen minutes a day1 and then taking the ,silence a few hours after these exercises have been practiced1 the mind will begin to be under control4 ,the nervous tension is caused because of this lack of control1 and in the effort to bring the scattering mind into one focus the reaction comes upon the nervous system which1 in turn1 reacts upon the body4 ,practice and exercises for lack of concentration follow4 ,,exercises ,by ,thos4 ,parker ,boyd 7#a7 ,select some part of the body1 a foot or hand1 with the idea of ,,heat4 ,while holding the mind in this attitude1 breathe deeply and steadily1 and1 in from one to four minutes1 you will feel the warm glow coming to the foot4 ,in this way1 you can soon master the entire body4 ,begin with the sense of feeling4 ,if there is an itching of the body1 make it stop by the force of your will4 ,in from three days to three weeks1 you can stop the itching sensation at will4 ,then try the habit of sneezing2 stubbornly resist the inclination to sneeze1 and you will soon have the mastery4 ,now try your will on coughing4 ,when the tickling sensation comes1 stop it by the exercise of your will4 ,you can soon master it4 ,next try it on pain4 ,when you feel a pain in the body1 instead of rubbing on liniment1 rub in a little will power2 soon it will ease your pain as if by magic4 ,with the fingers of one hand rub the skin on the back of the other hand1 stroking toward the elbow1 and will that all feeling shall disappear4 ,in from one to three minutes1 take a needle1 and you can stick it through the skin on the back of the hand without pain4 ,you may have to try it a dozen times1 but persistence will bring success4 ,having mastered the sense of feeling1 take up that of hearing4 7#b7 ,it may seem impossible at first thought1 but you have seen people so absorbed in what they were reading or thinking that they heard nothing1 although you addressed them directly4 ,they are simply abstracted from all else1 and are thinking of one thing--to the exclusion of everything else4 ,they entered this state of abstractedness unconsciously4 ,to do so intentionally1 you go by the law of indirectness4 ,for instance1 take sight2 concentrate your vision and your whole attention upon some object1 real or imaginary1 until soon the sense of ,,hearing becomes dormant4 ,a little practice will enable you to study1 think or sleep1 regardless of noise4 7#c7 ,having mastered hearing1 begin on ,,sight4 ,you have known people who walked on the street1 looked at you and passed by without recognition1 although they knew you well4 ,a person deeply thinking on some subject1 neither sees nor hears1 but uses the mental sense entirely4 ,the method is to let the eyes be open1 but concentrate the thoughts on hearing or feeling4 7#d7 ,after getting control of your sight1 take up the ,,taste4 ,take some tasteless thing on the tongue1 abstract the mind to something else until the taste becomes dormant4 ,then take something with more taste to it1 abstracting the taste1 until by this gradual process you can make the sourest pickle sweet4 7#e7 ,finally take some light odor1 and hold it before the nostrils1 abstracting the attention from the sense of smell1 by hearing or seeing1 etc41 until by practice you can pass through the foulest odor without inconvenience or notice4 ,sit or stand absolutely motionless1 except your breathing1 for one to five minutes at a time4 ,do this often4 ,practice closing each finger in rotation2 then1 when all are closed1 open one at a time very slowly1 keeping the attention fixed on what you are doing4 ,keep all the other fingers still1 save the one you are exercising with4 ,inhale gradually for ten seconds1 then exhale in the same way and time4 ,look steadily at some point or object for a minute without winking the eye1 keeping your attention fixed on the object4 ,look at a picture critically1 then close your eyes and mentally reconstruct it4 ,close your eyes and construct the face of a friend1 feature by feature4 ,fix your attention on a hand or foot1 hold on it the idea of heat and continue until the hand or foot feels warm4 ,then try cold2 then try pain4 ,will that the person in front of you shall turn around or put his hand on his head or neck4 ,hold your hand on some one in pain and say1 ,i will the pain to depart4 ,repeat till the pain goes4 99 99 99 99 99 ,note4--,for a scientific
