CHAPTER 9
PERSISTENCE
THE SUSTAINED EFFORT NECESSARY TO INDUCE FAITH
The Eighth Step toward Riches
PERSISTENCE is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting
DESIRE into its monetary equivalent. The basis of persistence is the POWER
OF
WILL.
CHAPTER 15
HOW TO OUTWIT THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR
Take Inventory of Yourself, As You
Read This Closing Chapter, and Find
Out How Many of the "Ghosts" Are
Standing in Your Way
BEFORE you can put any portion of this philosophy into successful use,
your mind must be prepared to receive it. The preparation is not difficult.
It
begins with study, analysis, and understanding of three enemies which you
shall
have to clear out. These are INDECISION, DOUBT, and FEAR!
CHAPTER 14
THE SIXTH SENSE
THE DOOR TO THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM
The Thirteenth Step toward Riches
THE "thirteenth" principle is known as the SIXTH SENSE, through which
Infinite Intelligence may, and will communicate voluntarily, without any
effort
from, or demands by, the individual.
This principle is the apex of the philosophy. It can be assimilated,
understood, and applied ONLY by first mastering the other twelve
principles.
CHAPTER 10
POWER OF THE MASTER MIND
THE DRIVING FORCE
The Ninth Step toward Riches
POWER is essential for success in the accumulation of money.
PLANS are inert and useless, without sufficient POWER to translate them
into ACTION. This chapter will describe the method by which an individual
may
attain and apply POWER.
CHAPTER 13
THE BRAIN
A BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING STATION FOR THOUGHT
The Twelfth Step toward Riches
MORE than twenty years ago, the author, working in conjunction with the
late Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, and Dr. Elmer R. Gates, observed that
every
human brain is both a broadcasting and receiving station for the vibration
of
thought.
CHAPTER 12
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
THE CONNECTING LINK
The Eleventh Step toward Riches
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND consists of a field of consciousness, in
which every impulse of thought that reaches the objective mind through
any of
the five senses, is classified and recorded, and from which thoughts may be
recalled or withdrawn as letters may be taken from a filing cabinet.
It receives, and files, sense impressions or thoughts, regardless of their
nature. You may VOLUNTARILY plant in your subconscious mind any plan,
thought, or purpose which you desire to translate into its physical or
monetary
equivalent. The subconscious acts first on the dominating desires which
have
been mixed with emotional feeling, such as faith.
CHAPTER 6
IMAGINATION
THE WORKSHOP OF THE MIND
The Fifth Step toward Riches
The imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans
created by man. The impulse, the DESIRE, is given shape, form, and
ACTION
through the aid of the imaginative faculty of the mind.
CHAPTER 8
DECISION
THE MASTERY OF PROCRASTINATION
The Seventh Step toward Riches
ACCURATE analysis of over 25,000 men and women who had
experienced failure, disclosed the fact that LACK OF DECISION was near
the
head of the list of the 30 major causes of FAILURE. This is no mere
statement of a
theory— it is a fact.
CHAPTER 5
SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE
PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OR
OBSERVATIONS
The Fourth Step toward Riches
THERE are two kinds of knowledge. One is general, the other is
specialized. General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety
it
may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money. The faculties of
the
great universities possess, in the aggregate, practically every form of
general
knowledge known to civilization. Most of the professors have but little or
no money.
CHAPTER 7
ORGANIZED PLANNING
THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF DESIRE INTO ACTION
The Sixth Step toward Riches
You have learned that everything man creates or acquires, begins in the
form of DESIRE, that desire is taken on the first lap of its journey, from the
abstract to the concrete, into the workshop of the IMAGINATION, where
PLANS
for its transition are created and organized.
In Chapter two, you were instructed to take six definite, practical steps, as
your first move in translating the desire for money into its monetary
equivalent.
CHAPTER 4
AUTO-SUGGESTION
THE MEDIUM FOR INFLUENCING THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
The Third Step toward Riches
AUTO-SUGGESTION is a term which applies to all suggestions and all
self-administered stimuli which reach one's mind through the five senses.
Stated
in another way, auto-suggestion is self-suggestion. It is the agency of
communication between that part of the mind where conscious thought
takes
place, and that which serves as the seat of action for the subconscious
mind.
CHAPTER 3
FAITH
VISUALIZATION OF, AND
BELIEF IN ATTAINMENT OF
DESIRE
The Second Step toward Riches
FAITH is the head chemist of the mind. When FAITH is blended with the
vibration of thought, the subconscious mind instantly picks up the
vibration,
translates it into its spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to Infinite
Intelligence,
as in the case of prayer.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
THE MAN WHO "THOUGHT"
HIS WAY INTO PARTNERSHIP
WITH THOMAS A. EDISON
TRULY, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are
mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE
for
their translation into riches, or other material objects.
CHAPTER 2
DESIRE
THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
The First Step toward Riches
WHEN Edwin C. Barnes climbed down from the freight train in Orange,
N. J., more than thirty years ago, he may have resembled a tramp, but his
thoughts were those of a king!
As he made his way from the railroad tracks to Thomas A. Edison's office,
his mind was at work. He saw himself standing in Edison's presence. He
heard
himself asking Mr. Edison for an opportunity to carry out the one
CONSUMING
OBSESSION OF HIS LIFE, a BURNING DESIRE to become the business
associate
of the great inventor.
