- At least ninety per cent of our mental life is subconscious, so that those who succeed to make use of this mental power live with very wide freedom.
- The subconscious can and will solve any problem for us if we know how to direct it. The subconscious processes are always at work; the only question is, are we to consciously direct the work? Shall we have a vision of the destination to be reached, the benefits to be had?
- We have found that mind pervades every part of the physical body and is always capable of being directed or impressed by authority coming from the objective or the more dominant portion of the mind.
- The mind, which pervades the body, is largely the result of heredity, which, in turn, is simply the result of all the environments of all past generations on the responsive and ever-moving life forces. An understanding of this fact will enable us to use our gratitude when we find some desirable trait of character manifesting.
- We can consciously use all the desirable characteristics with which we have been provided, and we can encourage the acceptance and allowance of new desirable ones to manifest.
- Again, this mind which pervades our physical body is the result of hereditary tendencies, and the result of home, business and social environment, where countless thousands of impressions, ideas, prejudices and similar thoughts have been received.
- Much of this has been received from others, the result of opinions, suggestions or statements; much of it is the result of our own thinking, and some of it has been accepted only after much examination and consideration.
- The idea seemed plausible, the conscious received it, passed it on to the subconscious, where it was taken up by the Sympathetic System and passed on to be built into our physical body.
