my other self has taught me to concentrate upon my purpose and to
forget about the plan by which it is to be attained when I go to prayer
I am NOT suggesting that material objects may be acquired without plans
what I am saying is that the power which translates one's thought or desires into
realities has its source and an infinite intelligence which knows more about
plans than the one doing the praying I know nothing about any form of Prayer
which can be induced to work favorably in a mind that is colored in the
slightest degree by fear since becoming better acquainted with my other self my
way of praying is different from what it was before I used to go to prayer only
when facing difficulty now I go to prayer before difficulty overtakes me
when possible I now pray not for more of this world's goods and greater blessings
but be worthy of that which I already have a fight of this plan is better than
the old one infinite intelligence seems not at all offended when I give thanks
and show that I am grateful for the blessings which have crowned my efforts

I was astounded when I first tried this plan of offering a prayer of thanks for
what I already possessed to discover what a vast fortune
I had own without being creative of it for example I discovered that I
possessed a sound body which had never been seriously damaged by illness I had
a mind which was reasonably well-balanced
I had a creative imagination through which I could render useful service to
great numbers of people I was blessed with all the freedom I desired in both
body and mind I possessed an imperishable desire to help others who
were less fortunate I discovered that happiness the highest
aim of mankind was mine for the taking last but by no means least I discovered
that I had had the privilege of approaching infinite intelligence either
for the purpose of offering thanks for what I already possessed or to ask for
more and for guidance the whole world is undergoing a change of such stupendous
proportions that millions of people have become panic-stricken with worry doubt
indecision and fear it seems to me that now is a splendid time for those who
have come to the crossroads of doubt to endeavor to become acquainted with their
other selves all who wish to do so will find it helpful if they take a lesson
from nature observation will show that the eternal stars shine nightly in their
custom places that the Sun continues to send down its rays of warmth causing
Mother Earth to yield an overabundance of food and clothing that water
continues to flow downhill that the birds of the air and the wild animals of
the forest receive their accustomed requirements of food the useful day

follows restful night in reality only men's minds have ceased to function
normally and this because men have filled their minds with fear observation
of these simple facts of everyday life may be helpful as a starting point for
those who wish to supplant fear by faith I am NOT a prophet but I can with all
due modesty predict that every individual has the power to change his
or her material or financial status by first changing the nature of his or her
beliefs do not confuse the word belief with the word wish two are not the same
everyone is capable of wishing for financial material or spiritual
advantages but the element of faith is the only sure power by which a wish may
be translated into a belief and a belief into reality
and right here is an appropriate place at which to call attention to a real
benefit which anyone may experience by deliberately using faith and focusing
attention upon any form of constructive desire the mind acts upon once
dominating or most pronounced desires there is no escape from this fact it is
a fact indeed be careful what you set your heart upon for it surely shall be
yours nothing within reason is impossible to the man who knows and
relies upon his other self what man believes to be true has a way
of becoming true it prayers a release thought sometimes expressed in audible
words and at other times expressed silently I have observed by experience
that a silent prayer is as efficacious as the one which is expressed in words
I have observed also that one state of mind is the determining factor and
prayer works as well as when it does not my conception of the other self which I
the power of faith over fear connect with your higher self to manifest all of your dreams napoleon hill outwitting the devil the secret to freedom and success "law of attraction"
have tried to describe is that it merely symbolizes a newly discovered approach
to infinite intelligence an approach which one may control and direct the
simple process of mixing faith with one's thoughts this is only another way
of saying that I now have greater faith in the power of prayer the State of Mind
known as faith apparently opens to one the medium of a sixth sense through
which one may communicate with the sources of power and information for
surpassing any available through the five physical senses there comes to your
aid and to do your bidding with the development of the sixth sense a strange
power which let us assume is a guardian angel who can open to you at all times
the door to the temple of wisdom the sixth sense comes as near to being a
miracle as anything I've ever experienced and it appears because I do
not understand the method by which the principle is operated
this much I do know that there is a power or a first cause or an
intelligence which permeates every atom of matter and embraces every unit of
energy perceptible to man that this infinite intelligence converts acorns
into oak trees causes water to flow downhill in response to the law of
gravity follows night with day and winter with summer each maintaining its
proper place and relationship to the other this intelligence may aid in
transmuting one's desires into concrete or material form I have this knowledge
because I've experimented with it and I have experienced it
