That "IT" is prosperity and we're all trying to achieve that stage in our lives where wealth, health, success are a daily part of our lives. So what's the problem? Why aren't some of us living a prosperous life? Read on, my friends... 1) CLARITY Many people don't know what they truly want in life. They have not clarified exactly what they desire and where they want to be within a year, 5 years even 3 months. Because they don't know where they are going they drift along with the daily grind, totally forgetting that they want to attain true prosperity. 2) PATH They are some that have a goal for their life, yet they do not know how to attain it.... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19387.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:11 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19385.html I want you first to realize how powerful thought is. A thought of fear has turned a person's hair gray in a night. A prisoner condemned to die was told that if he would consent to an experiment and lived through it he would be freed. He consented. They wanted to see how much blood a person could lose and still live. They arranged that blood would apparently drop from a cut made in his leg. The cut made was very slight, from which practically no blood escaped. The room was darkened, and the prisoner thought the dropping he heard was really coming from his leg. The next morning he was dead through mental fear. The two above illustrations will give you a little idea of the power of thought. To thoroughly realize the power ... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19385.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:10 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19386.html Controlling the images of the mind through image projection has proven valuable not only for psychotherapy, but also as a learning aid. Visualization can have as much impact on the subconscious, memory, and entire body as a "real" experience. For example, it is sometimes more expeditious to memorize a song by reading and thinking it through than it is to play it. Some musicians like to work on a difficult passage by visualizing themselves playing it with perfect execution and technique. When visualizing, energy is channeled and concentration is pinpointed. The mind, and sometimes even the muscles will react and learn as if the music was actually being played. I'm not suggesting you sell your instrument and spend all of your... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19386.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:10 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19383.html Man from a psychological standpoint of development is not what he should be. He does not possess the self-mastery, the self-directing power of Psychic - Concentration that is his by right. He has not trained himself in a way to promote his self-mastery. Every balanced mind possesses the faculties whose chief duties are to engineer, direct and concentrate the operations of the mind, both in a mental and physical sense. Man must learn to control not only his mind but his bodily movements. When the controlling faculties (autonomic) are in an untrained condition, the impulses, passions, emotions, thoughts, actions and habits of the person suffer from lack of regulation, and the procedure of mental Psychic - Concentrati... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19383.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:09 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19384.html The ignorant person may say, "How can you get anything by merely wanting it? I say that through Psychic - Concentration you can get anything you want. Every desire can be gratified. But whether it is, will depend upon you concentrating to have that desire fulfilled. Merely wishing for something will not bring it. Wishing you had something shows a weakness and not a belief that you will really get it. So never merely wish, as we are not living in a "fairy age." You use up just as much brain force in "vain imaginings" as you do when you think of something worth while. Be careful of your desires, make a mental picture of what you want and set your will to this until it materializes. Never allow yourself to drift without he... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19384.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:09 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19382.html Everyone has two natures. One wants us to advance and the other wants to pull us back. The one that we cultivate and concentrate on decides what we are at the end. Both natures are trying to gain control. The will alone decides the issue. A man by one supreme effort of the will may change his whole career and almost accomplish miracles. You may be that man. You can be if you Will to be, for Will can find a way or make one. I could easily fill a book, of cases where men plodding along in a matter-of-fact way, were all at once aroused and as if awakening from a slumber they developed the possibilities within them and from that time on were different persons. You alone can decide when the turning point will come. It is a ma... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19382.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:08 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19380.html There was a woman who was in such a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to step on it. She was so engrossed with her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going on a different route. Suddenly, a man went inside the cab and took her handbag where she placed her visa, passport, and all her money for the trip. The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed the world for being so mean to her, and she kept on thinking how unlucky she was to be in that situation. That very same night, she heard a shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230 has crashed! It was the plane where she was supposed to board into. If she have no... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19380.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:07 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19381.html You've probably heard of the popular saying "It's better to give than to receive." But do you actually know what hidden power lies within this magnanimous act known as "giving?" When you give something from your heart without expecting anything in return, you release a powerful force that will trigger your good deed to "bounce" back to you in amazing, and sometimes unusual ways. I firmly believe that whatever you impart to others will come back to you a hundred fold. You are doing yourself a big favor by helping someone in need. By doing even the smallest acts of generosity, you are inviting good vibrations to come into your life. You would be earning the respect and love of your recipients. You know that... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19381.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:07 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19379.html The mind is an infinite wonder. It has the fantastic ability to transmute your desires into their physical counterparts. You can do anything that your mind can conceive, as long as you have the belief and will power to back it up. Take the case of cancer patients who were given placebo pills. These are just plain pills that have no healing capabilities. So how did they get well? The power came from their thoughts. They were told that these pills contain the highest amounts of cancer-fighting ingredients which can effectively cure them in a matter of days. See how powerful your mind is? They believed that their health will be restored. They have registered in their minds that these pills will cure ... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19379.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:06 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19377.html Select some thought, and see how long you can hold your mind on it. It is well to have a clock at first and keep track of the time. If you decide to think about health, you can get a great deal of good from your thinking besides developing Psychic - Concentration. Think of health as being the greatest blessing there is, in the world. Don't let any other thought drift in. Just the moment one starts to obtrude, make it get out. Make it a daily habit of concentrating on this thought for, say, ten minutes. Practice until you can hold it to the exclusion of everything else. You will find it of the greatest value to centralize your thoughts on health. Regardless of your present condition, see yourself as you would like to be ... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19377.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:05 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19378.html Exercise 11 By Psychic - Concentration You Can Control Your Temper. If you are one of those that flare up at the slightest "provocation" and never try to control yourself, just think this over a minute. Does it do you any good? Do you gain anything by it? Doesn't it put you out of poise for some time? Don't you know that this grows on you and will eventually make you despised by all that have any dealings with you? Everyone makes mistakes and, instead of becoming angry at their perpetrators, just say to them, "Be more careful next time." This thought will be impressed on them and they will be more careful. But, if you continually complain about their making a mistake, the thought of a mistake is impressed on them and they... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19378.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:05 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19376.html When you focus your thought, you increase its strength. The exercises that follow are tedious and monotonous, but useful. If you will persist in them you will find they are very valuable, as they increase your powers of Psychic - Concentration. Before proceeding with the exercises I will answer a question that just comes to me. This person says after he works all day he is too tired to practice any exercise. But this is not true. We will say he comes home all tired out, eats his supper and sits down to rest. If his work has been mental, the thought which has been occupying his mind returns to him and this prevents him from securing the rest he needs. It is an admitted fact that certain thoughts call into operation ... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19376.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:04 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19374.html Exercise 6 Put the right hand on knee, both fingers and thumb closed, except the first finger, which points out in front of you. Then move the finger slowly from side to side, keeping the attention fixed upon the end of the finger. You can make up a variety of exercises like these. It is good training to plan out different ones. The main point you should keep in mind is that the exercise should be simple and that the attention should be firmly fixed upon the moving part of the body. You will find your attention will not want to be controlled and will try to drift to something more interesting. This is just where these exercises are of value, and you must control your attention and see it is held in the right place and ... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19374.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:03 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19375.html It will be necessary to first train the body to obey the commands of the mind. I want you to gain control of your muscular movements. The following exercise is especially good in assisting you to acquire perfect control of the muscles. Exercise 1 Sit in a comfortable chair and see how still you can keep. This is not as easy as it seems. You will have to center your attention on sitting still. Watch and see that you are not making any involuntary muscular movements. By a little practice you will find you are able to sit still without a movement of the muscles for fifteen minutes. At first I advise sitting in a relaxed position for five minutes. After you are able to keep perfectly still, increase the time to ten mi... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19375.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:03 -0400 http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19372.html In bringing this book to a close, I again want to impress you with the inestimable value of Psychic - Concentration, because those that lack this great power or, rather that fail to develop it, will generally suffer from poverty and unhappiness and their life's work will most often be a failure, while those that develop and use it will make the most of life's opportunities, I have tried to make these lessons practical and I am sure that many will find them so. Of course the mere reading of them will not do you a great deal of good, but, if the exercises are practiced and worked out and applied to your own individual case, you should be able to acquire the habit of Psychic - Concentration in such measure as to greatly im... http://www.sitemy.com/articles/article_19372.html Fri, 05 Aug 2005 23:59:02 -0400
