Part Nine - Introduction

In this Part you may learn to fashion the tools by which you may build for yourself any condition you desire. If you wish to change conditions you must change yourself. Your inmost thoughts will find expression just as certainly as the plant springs from the seed.

Suppose, then, we desire to change conditions, how are we to bring this about? The reply is simple: By the law of growth. Cause and effect are as absolute and consistent in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of material things.

Hold in mind the condition desired; affirm it as an already existing fact by giving thanks for it happening. This indicates the value of a powerful affirmation. By constant repetition it becomes a part of ourselves. We are actually changing ourselves; are making ourselves what we want to be.

Character is the result of continued effort. If you are bold, assertive, self-confident, and if you are calm and visited by thoughts of love or continued safety remember that is axiomatic that only one thing can exist in the same place at the same time. Exactly the same thing is true in the mental and spiritual world; so that your remedy is plainly to institute thoughts of courage, power, self-reliance and confidence.

The easiest and most natural way to do this is to select an affirmation which seems to fit your particular case. The positive thought will destroy the non positive as certainly as light will destroy darkness, and the results will be just as effectual.

Action is the blossom of thought, and conditions are the result of action, so that you constantly have in your possession the tools by which you will certainly and inevitably make yourself, and joy will be the reward.
