Abraham-Hicks - A New Beginning I II Quotes Exercises

Abraham_Esther Hicks
Abraham is a non-physical entity who speaks through Esther Hicks. Esther began speaking for
Abraham in 1986. There are currently two books published by Esther dictated by Abraham. They are
"A New Beginning" Volumes 1 and 2. There is also much information existing on cassette tapes
directly from the Abraham-Hicks publication group.

The eye opener. Just a few pages into this book I knew I was reading
the real deal. This book and it's sister volume (New Beginning II) are
simply loaded with information. There is no beating around the bush.
This book gives very specific and practical information on how to apply
"conscious creation" in our lives. This book contains the "Earth Changes"
stuff which for me was fairly disturbing for a few days. Considering the
rest of the material in this book I had to take that stuff seriously also.
I've pulled out 5 exercises (one is in New Beginning 2 - Meditation) and
many quotes.
This book is the most comprehensive of the two. This book revisits most
of the material from book one and is the move valuable of the two
(IMO). It explains why we are here and how to open the channel to our
higher being. I have identified and pulled out nine exercises and several
quotes.
I'm betting that when writing this book Wallace was in

contact with the Abraham entity. This book was written in
1910 and it contains so many of the Abraham concepts of
conscious creation one cannot deny the possible
connection. I'm so convinced I've added it here to the
Abraham page.

Selected quotes from
"A New Beginning, Volume 1"

by Esther Hicks
Abraham-Hicks Publication © 1987, Softcover
"If you were able to see us as separate beings you would see us as approximately one hundred
beings."
Page 2
"Those of us who are gathered here are together because we are of the same intention, and just as
you hold many intentions within your heart in any given moment, we do, as well."
Page 3
"For in understanding your reasons for wanting to be in physical form, your physical experience will be
tremendously enhanced."
Page 3
"The thoughts that you think, regarding those things that you want, set into motion the creation, and
eventual fulfillment, of that which you want. And likewise, the thoughts that you think, regarding
those things that you do not want, set into motion the creation, and eventual fulfillment, of that which
you do NOT want."
Page 7
"The thoughts that you set forth in combination with great emotion are the most powerful of your
thoughts."
Page 8
"To summarize this segment of the Creative Process: Understand that all thoughts create -- and the
more emotion that is present at the time that a thought is set in motion, the faster the creation will be
received -- and as frequent thought is given in any direction, without the hindrance of negative
thought, there is certain creation, eventually."
Page 8
"Your emotions are not from your physical world. They come forth from the inner world and are
directly communicated to you from your Inner Being.""
Page 15
"As you are feeling positive emotion - such as love, peace, happiness, joy, excitement, exhilaration ...
it is your Inner Being communicating to you in that moment that you are feeling the emotion - that
your thoughts are in harmony with that which you are wanting, As you are experiencing negative
emotion - such as fear or doubt, anger, hatred, jealousy, stress, guilt, anxiety .. it is a communication
from your Inner Being telling you that in that moment - that which you are focused upon is not in
harmony with what you are wanting."
Page 16
"It is that you do not allow because you do not believe. What you believe regarding anything that you
want is extremely important - FOR YOU WILL ALLOW ONLY WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF YOUR
BELIEFS. And so, in many cases your beliefs must he altered to harmonize with your intentions."
Page 17
"For a belief is nothing more than a thought that you have thought before, that you continue to
think."

by Esther Hicks
"When you effectively utilize the marvelous GUIDANCE SYSTEM that comes forth from your Inner
Being -- in the form of emotion -- then you will be in a position to always effectively create that which
you want, while you deliberately avoid creating that which you do not want.""
Page 18
"Your thoughts are powerful creators, and your words are even more powerful than your thoughts,
but your actions are more powerful than your words or your thoughts."
Page 23
"If you are wanting to know about those who surround you, if you are wondering whether they are
upon the path of their intent as they have come into physical expression, pay attention to the emotion
that comes forth from within them, for it is not something that is easily hidden. When you are a
joyous being, it is obvious, And the joy seeking being is always drawn to the being who is
experiencing joy. The Law of Attraction sees to that."
Page 45
"In order for you to understand that blending, you must step back a bit and try to view yourself from
a broader perspective. You must see yourself as a being who has lived thousand of lifetimes, physical
and non-physical, one who has gained knowledge through all of those life experiences."
Page 50
"Each of you has specifically and excitedly chosen this particular time to be involved in what is taking
place upon this planet, for you understood, prior to coming to physical form, that this would, indeed,
be a time when more beings would receive upliftment than any other time upon Planet Earth."
Page 52
"Our point, here, is that you are dominant in this physical experience. And no matter what decisions
have been made prior to this physical birth, you are attracting the others, with whom you are
interacting, through your physical conscious thoughts. You have only to intend, now, in your new
awareness, that you will meet those with whom you have agreed to participate - and it will be."
Page 53
"Most beings in your physical world are not seeking. Most have adopted beliefs that were present
around them on the day that they were born upon this earth. And most physical beings have done no
real searching or thinking -- on their own. And so, as they do not search -- it is not surprising that
they do not find."
Page 57
"As you observe others who are creating life experiences that are not in harmony with your desires, at
times it seems that they are too close for comfort, and you have a feeling as you are not wanting to
become involved in a negative situations that are happening around you."
Page 60
"Everything that you experience is of your choosing, for as you give your thought and attention to a
thing -- you have chosen it, for that time."
Page 61
"The revolving sphere upon which you live is in the process of readjustment. It is seeking balance.
Gradually, over a very long period of time, it has gotten out of balance. What that means to you, in a
physical sense, is tat there will be a dramatic shifting as your planet realigns itself. From our broader
perspective, we can tell you that this has occurred many times in the history of the existence of the
earth. In fact, on more than one occasion, a much more dramatic shifting has occurred than what is to
be experienced now. This is a partial shifting which will bring about much devastation in some areas
on the surface of your earth while other areas will be relatively free of destruction."

"Much information has already been gathered by those who have been studying the activity of your
changing earth, and that information will be of value to you as you are choosing places of safety."
Page 74
"We preface this information with this statement of knowledge: The majority of your thoughts which
bring forth fearful emotion have no valid basis."
Page 77
"And so, the planet is always righting itself, and every 26,000 years or so, give or take a thousand or
so..."
Page 82
"When you understand that you control the events of your personal experience by the power of your
thought, then your focused attention to that which you want will always bring forth excited emotion --
and the excited emotion is the indicator that your creation is being propelled forward."
Page 86
"Continues attention to a problem attracts it into your experience. To remove it from your experience
you must remove your attention from it."
Page 87
"...for as you make those statements -- through your thoughts, or as you voice them aloud, or as you
write tem with your pen upon paper -- you will set into motion the creation of those desires."
Page 90
"That blending is accomplished, first, by recognizing that a broader "you" exists, and next, by wanting
the blending, and finally, by allowing it. The allowing is accomplished by setting a time aside, in every
day, with the intent to quiet your physical conscious thinking world, that you may experience the inner
world."
Page 94
"Recognize, in every day, that your perspective has changed, and make a new statement of what is
most important to you from your current perspective."
Page 97
"...it is of value for you to continually counter that negative stimulation by restating your intention of
perfect health. ANY CREATION THAT YOU SET INTO MOTION, WILL BE, UNLESS YOU GIVE THOUGHT
TO SOMETHING THAT COUNTERS IT."
Page 97
"BRIEF REVIEW OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS

• Make more decisions, in every day, of what you intend, and as you do that, know that you have
become an automatic sifter who will attract those beings and circumstances that will enhance that
which you want, while you will ignore, or repel, those beings or circumstances that do not enhance
that which you want.
• Understand that all thought that you give toward that which you want furthers the creation of it,
and that the feeling of positive emotion indicates the speed of your creation.
• As you are moving through your day, be sensitive to the way that you feel, and recognize those
negative warning bells at their early subtle stages.
• Bring to your conscious mind the thought or word or action that has caused the warning bell to ring,
and replace that thought with a thought of what you do want, and feel the negative emotion
transformed to positive emotion, and as you are interacting with others, the same process may he
applied."

"You live in a society where much criticism abounds. Through your television and radio and
newspapers there is much more searching for disharmony than there is searching for harmony. There
is much more criticism than praise. But you need not participate within that attitude, and, in fact, you
must not, because you are seeking harmony. The negative emotion that you feel as you listen to
those broadcasts, or even as you listen to the negativity of a friend, is a very powerful signal to you
from your Inner Being letting you know that, in that moment, you are miscreating."
Page 107
"When you really want something, you find an easy alignment of thought, word, and action -- and
that is the key."
Page 127
"For the most part, the connection that you make will be a being of your "Family of Consciousness". It
is very unusual that you would attract one whose intentions were not in harmony with your own."
Page 129
"I am wanting joyous communication. I am wanting to speak with those beings that are in harmony
with who I am, beings who will uplift me. I am wanting a high level of consciousness, for I understand
that there are many frivilous beings, and I am not communicating for fun, so much as I am for
knowing."
Page 130
"See yourself in perfect health, and if you will do it right before you sleep, then there will be many
hours where you will be unconscious, where you will not be doing any miscreating to counteract that."
Page 142
"But if you have not intended anything about this segment and something occurs that catches you off
guard, then you are swept up by the influence of others, you see -- ad you may create in a direction
that is not really to your wanting."
Page 143
"But as you try (To deal with the unknown details) because you don't currently have enough
information, that is where your miscreating begins to occur. That is where fear comes in. That is when
you start worrying. And fear or worry is a signal that you are miscreating."
Page 144
"But because there is this belief that "Because I am a certain color I am mistreated," then as I walk
the streets, I solicit that from every being with whom I interact."
Page 149
"It is the reason that most relationships deteriorate: When you are drawn together, you are drawn
together by that which you are wanting, you see, but then as you are together, your focus is no longer
on what is wanted...but upon what is not wanted."
Page 150
"As you are looking for your truth outside of yourself, hearing is through the words of others, you will
always have that question, for you will hear many different answers, but as you are looking for your
truth from that which comes from within you, then you will never question it, for your Inner Being
knows the truth that is appropriate for you -- and you may trust it."

"If you can release the titles you have given to these negative emotions, such as guilt, jealousy,
anger, hate, frustration, anxiety, stress, fear, and recognize that they are all negative warning bells,
then it will be easier for you to understand what the warning bell is trying to tell you. In most cases,
the feeling of guilt comes forward not because you are doing something "wrong," - but because our
freedom is being suppressed."
Page 156
"It is most important that you understand that you are in the physical because you have intended to
be. Your flesh and bone are proof of that, you see? And so, do not feel that you are focused where it is
not meant to be, for you have intended to be focused here, you see. As you are wanting to accomplish
the blending - indeed the awakening that you have so long been hearing about - we encourage setting
a time aside of 15 or 20 minutes in every day for the allowing of that, but not more, and the rest of
your focus, indeed, keep it here, in the here and now, for this is where you are creating, you see.
There are many who do not understand that, and in part it is because they are wanting to escape.
They have created that which they do not like, so now they are wanting to get on to something else,
and so they are literally focusing outside of their reason for being here, you see. And it does not feel
right. Your emotion guides you, you see."
Page 159
"...as you try to get your logical thoughts around that which is unknown - that is when you begin
doing your most negative creating."
Page 173
"Now hear this: As you are intending that which you are wanting from the broader view, in other
words, something that is general, "I intend health. I intend happiness. I intend harmony .. 11 you will
begin attracting those sorts of experiences without ever putting the detail into it. But as you are
clearer about the details that you are wanting, then begin inserting the details so that you are, in a
more finely tuned way, drawing the specific creation to yourself that you are wanting. But in that
process, if you find yourself struggling because there are unknowns - and because they are unknown,
you are bringing forth negative thought and negative emotion - then stop that, and back away from it
again. And begin creating on a broader, more general scale."
Page 173
"...it is the "allowing" part that is, for the most part, a hindrance for you - and the allowing includes
ALL of your beliefs. If you do not believe that you should, or can, then you usually will not, you see?
Now, you are saying "I am wanting a car." Until you get very specific about it, you may not get very
excited about it, and when you understand that specifics bring forth excitement, then you understand
the value of the specifics. If you want something very much, it is coming to you very fast, and if you
fear something very much, it is coming to you very fast."
Page 176
"Now, if you cannot bring yourself to the point of getting excited, then it is better not to think about it
at all, but go back to your broader perspective of, "I am wanting a new car," Very often, as you get
caught up in the specifics of your creating, you miscreate."
Page 180
"Everyone has killed someone in one lifetime or another -- and has been killed."
Page 197
"Q: Is this event that's coming, going to put me in that simple life?
A: Indeed it is"
Page 202
"You are about to experience a time when you will do that which is most important to you, instead of
creating all of those experiences that please someone else, or that you have set forth at a time when
your intentions were different. It is your time to decide what it is you are wanting in this day and to
have it."
Page 203
"What you are wanting most is freedom, and many of you are bound to the physical things that you
have accumulated -- for they have taken your freedom away from you."

"I see others doing things with money that I would not do. (wasting it) I know that there is an
abundance of money. And I know that I will find a way to begin attracting it to my experience. There
is enough. It is just that I have not to this point, attracted it, and I am in the process of doing that,
now. I know that there is enough. I know that there is more than enough."
Page 206
"See yourself with a balance in your checkbook that is more to your liking. Envision yourself going to
your bank with much more than you are usually going with. See yourself balancing your checkbook
and delighted with the very large balance that is there after everything else has been paid."
Page 209
"When you are creating toward your wanting, there is enthusiasm and excitement. When you are
creating toward your need, it is negative creating."
Page 211
"The four steps of the creative process:

• The first step is to identify what it is that you do not want
• The second step is to identify what it is that you do want
• The third step is the most important step, and that is, once you have identified what it is you do
want, you must find the feeling place of that."

Deliberate Creation
THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXERCISE TO ASSIST YOU

IN THE DELIBERATE CREATION OF WHATEVER
YOU DESIRE:
It is best, in the early stages of understanding the
Deliberate Creative Process, to target three or four
of your primary desires, Eventually, you will he
able to simultaneously create in unlimited
directions, hut as you are learning the process, it
is best to focus in only three or four directions.
Select those desires or wants or intentions that are

most important to you in this time and write each
of them at the top of a separate sheet of paper in
this way:
"I intend to receive..." and then write whatever it

is that you are intending to receive. And then take
each of those sheets of paper, individually, and
complete them one at a time, as follows:
Below your statement of intent write, "These are

the reasons that I intend..."and then restate your
intention. And write all of the reasons that you
want this.
WHEN YOU ARE WRITING, YOU ARE AT THE

STRONGEST POINT OF FOCUS THAT YOU CAN
ACHIEVE WITH YOUR CONSCIOUS THINKING
BEING. Write what flows forth from you. Do not
write what someone else wants you to want, but
that which is important to you. Write as long as it
flows forth naturally. Do not force it.
Then turn your sheet of paper to the other side,

and write at the top:
"I know that this is, (or 'that it will be,' if that
stretches your belief a bit too far) for the following
reasons...... And then state and write all of the
reasons that you know that you will achieve, that
which you have written on the other side. Again,
let it flow forth from you.
Once you have completed your statement of
belief, fold the paper and put it into your pocket or
your handbag or someplace where it will be
convenient for you to retrieve it and read it during
the day, and know that your creative work is
complete, CONSIDER IT DONE! Realize that you
have set into motion the creation of that intention
which you have stated and written,
On the first side of your paper you have stated

your intention, and below it you have enhanced
the wanting or the intending part of the equation
for creation. On the second side of the sheet you
have enhanced the allowing part of the equation
for creation. And now it is complete.
There is nothing more for you to do toward the

creation of that which you have intended - other
than to allow it to be. And by that we are saying
that unless you create against the creation that
you have set into motion, with your thoughts that
bring forth fear or doubt or worry - or your notice
it has not yet happened - then that creation will
appear within your physical experience.
You see, as you are noticing that what you have

intended has not yet occurred, what you are giving
your attention to is the lack of that which you
want, And as you give your attention to anything,
you create more of it. And so your notice that it
has not yet occurred creates more of it not yet
occurring. YOUR NOTICE OF THE LACK CREATES
MORE OF THE LACK.
THE MORE INTENSE EMOTION THAT IS PRESENT

WITHIN YOU, AS YOU ARE STATING THAT WHICH
YOU WANT - THE FASTER YOU WILL RECEIVE IT.
Be certain that You are thinking, always, in the

direction of what you are wanting - not in the
direction of what are not wanting. In the direction
of the receiving of it - not in the direction of the
fear that you may not receive it. In the direction of
the joyous expectation - not in the direction of
your noticing that it has not yet come.
And then continue this process with the remaining

two or three sheets of paper, setting each creation
into motion with this process.
And now, your creative work is finished upon those

topics, Now you have only to think positively - or
in the direction of that which you want. Do not
allow yourself to think negatively regarding these
topics - or in the direction of that which you do not
want. And as you apply this exercise you will
receive that which you intend.
It is not necessary for you to contain your

thoughts only to those three or four intentions that
you have listed earlier in your Exercise for
Deliberate Creation, for there are many other
things that you must also tend to in this physical
experience in which you are participating.
When you are consciously concentrating upon the

task at hand, you are not usually miscreating or
undoing a creation previously set into motion.
MOST MISCREATING OCCURS WHEN YOUR MIND

IS DRIFTING, OR WANDERING, DURING THOSE
ACTIVITIES THAT DO NOT REQUIRE CONSCIOUS
CONCENTRATION, SUCH AS DRIVING YOUR
AUTOMOBILE OR TAKING YOUR BATH OR
GROOMING YOURSELF. THEREFORE, IT IS OF
VALUE FOR YOU TO BE FOCUSED UPON
SOMETHING AT ALL TIMES, FOR YOUR
MARVELOUS CONSCIOUS THINKING MECHANISM
IS NOT CONTENT TO BE IDLE. If you do not
deliberately give it something to think about, or to
focus upon, it may he stimulated by thoughts or
words or actions that surround you.
Exercise
Allowing
The allowing part is accomplished in this way: In

every day, set a time aside of 15 or 20 minutes,
not more, for the intent is to quiet the physical
thinking mind, and if you ask it to be quiet for
more"
than that, it will resist it. 15 or 20 minutes is quite
enough. Not one, and then not the next, and then
one day, and then not the next. Consistency of a
number of days. 20 days will be enough. 20 days,
of every day, of sitting for 15 or 20 minutes, will
allow the opening of your passageway.
Now, as you are sitting, put your feet on the floor

and your hands in your lap, or wherever it is
comfortable. Do not lay down,
Do not sit in too comfortable of a chair, you will go

to sleep. And if you go to sleep, you are not doing
your work, you see, and so, as you are sitting with
the intent of "meditation" - that is a label we are
not liking very much, and so we'll tell you what we
mean. The intent of this process is to quiet the
physical, that you may sense the inner. Which
means you must not consciously think. Now, if we
say, "Do not think," the first thing you do is think,
for you are wanting to think. Your mechanism is
trained to think.
And so, as you are sitting in a quiet room with no

distraction of light or sound, with your eyes
closed, focus upon your breathing, for as you
focus upon that which does require thought, but
not very much thought, you will quiet your mind.
And so, as you breathe out and breathe in and
breathe out and breathe in .... Have you ever
hyperventilated? Taking much oxygen in, leaves
you feeling tingly, and it is not so different from
that.
If you will allow yourself to breathe very deeply,

you will find yourself feeling a little bit tingly, and
as you are doing it - it may be in the first sitting -
you will find yourself feeling a little bit
disassociated with what is physical. As you are
feeling a little bit numb - you may not even feel
the chair beneath you - you have done your work.
Now, if it does not occur in the first or second or

even the l0th sitting, do not worry about it. Let
that be your objective thought.
"I am wanting to quiet my mind and I will know

my mind is quiet when I have achieved
numbness," you see? And as you are feeling this
numbness, a sort of tingling, different from
anything you have known, you will recognize that
it is new. Know that you have done your part, and
now, your Inner Being will do its part. Your Inner
Being, once you have achieved this quieting, will
begin the opening of your passageway. Now it is
not really hacking a physical passageway through
your being. It is not any physical distress or
discomfort. It is an alignment of Energy.
You see, every being who is in physical form has

the physical body that has been created, that is
part of you, but there is an Energy that surges
through you. That is the difference between the
live ones and the dead ones, you see, (Group
laughter) and you are accustomed to this Energy
that surges through you. You have known it since
the day you were born, and you say, "This is what
it feels like to be alive," you see. But now there is
a new Energy that'll begin to blend with that
Energy, and that is what this opening of the
passageway that we are speaking of is about. And
it is not your work. You do not need to consciously
know how to do it. You do not need to know what
colors the chakras are, and where they are and
what they mean. You have many points of
alignment within your being. Do not get involved
with it consciously. Let your Inner Being, that
knows far more than your conscious mind will ever
know about this subject ... Let your Inner Being do
it. All you must do is quiet your physical. Your
Inner Being will do the rest. And as your Inner
Being is doing its work, you will be...
Let us begin again. We are putting this in order for

you, upon this recording, so that you may listen to
it as you are achieving each step: Your first
objective is to sit quietly and achieve the
numbness. Once the numbness has been
achieved, in however many days it takes to
accomplish that, then know that your passageway
is being opened, and you will know that it is being
opened; you will feel it being opened because you
will feel sensations. You will feel a twitch here and
a twinge there. Nothing that is painful, but you will
say, "Oh, they are working on my nose! I can feel
them in my " just a little sensation, and all it is the
new Energy that is flowing through you, and you
will notice the difference here and there. Once you
are receiving movement (head rolling around on
neck) your passageway is open. And once your
passageway is open, then there is not a need for
this meditation process any more. Many continue
it because they like it.
There are many purposes for meditation. Our

purpose, as it has been expressed here, is for the
opening of the passageway. Now what does that
mean? When the passageway is open, what does
that mean? Does that mean that anything that is
out there may pass through it? Indeed, it does
not. It means that you are opening the
passageway between you and you. Your Inner
Being, the being that sends forth emotion to you
already, will now be able to send, not only clearer
emotion, but thought. And it also means you will
like this very much, (To Questioner: For you are
very much not wanting to be a selfish being; it is
very important to you that you do your part in all
things) - you will be benefiting ALL-THAT-is
because once the passageway is open, not only do
you benefit by the knowing that comes forth from
the inner dimension, but all that is within the inner
dimension benefits more clearly by the experience
that you are participating within, for the
passageway allows information and experience to
pass both ways, you see?
THIS IS LITERALLY THE AWAKENING THAT HAS

BEEN TALKED ABOUT. Most beings do not know
that it is something for everyone to experience.
They think there will be one who will be king, who
will have all of the great experience, and the rest
will worship, and it is not that way. It is that every
being will receive this awakening, this blending of
Inner Being and conscious physical being, and as
you accomplish this, this physical experience - in
which you are focused, in which you have great
intent to be focused, in which you are wanting to
be focused - will be enhanced beyond your
conscious understanding in this time. Your -
physical experience will be more delicious than it
has ever been before. Your joy will be ecstasy.
Your love will be intense. Your feeling of peace will
be beyond anything you have sensed or felt
before, you see? All that you experience will be
more.
Your guidance will be keener, and if you allow it,

you will be manifester in a much more dramatic
and faster way than ever before.
As you envision that which you want, it will be,

more quickly, you see? In your physical life
experience there is wondrousness to behold, and it
begins with the conscious allowing of the opening
of the passageway.
We are appreciative of your question, for it has

brought forth, in this discussion, that which is our
dominant reason for interacting with those who
are physical. To lead you, if it is your wanting, to
that.
Exercise
Belief Bridging
HERE IS THE TECHNIQUE FOR CONTINUAL,

DELIBERATE, POSITIVE CREATION:
As you are moving through your day, participating
in the wide variety of activities which make up
your physical experience - BE SENSITIVE TO THE
WAY THAT YOU ARE FEELING. As long as you are
feeling positive emotion, know that you are
creating toward those things that you are wanting.
But if you feel negative emotion - fear, doubt,
anxiety, stress, anger, guilt, loneliness, jealousy ..
stop, immediately, in the moment that you
recognize that you are feeling the emotion, and
ask yourself what thought or word or action
brought forth that emotion. And if you will respond
in the moment that you are feeling the emotion,
you will very quickly be able to identify what
thought, word or action has brought it forth -for as
you recall it, the negative emotion will be
intensified.
As soon as you identify what thought, word or

action has brought it forth your negative emotion,
ask yourself, "What is it that I want?" Make your
positive statement of what it is that you want. And
then make strong statements that will lead you
from your current state of negative thought and
negative emotion to your desired state of positive
thought. We will call it building a bridge from
where you are to where you are wanting to be.
Do not try to build a very long span (or bridge) for

your conscious thinking mind will resist that. It has
had enough life experience that it is not so
"gullible" as to make a very wide jump, but if you
will take small spans, making one statement after
another, you will find yourself arriving at the
positive position that you are wanting and you will
find yourself feeling positive emotion at the same
time.
Once you have made the transition from negative

thought and negative emotion to positive thought
and positive emotion - you will then be creating in
the direction of that which you are wanting.
Here is an example of the bridging process that we

have just spoken about: You have begun this day
by writing upon your separate pages those
dominant intentions that you are currently holding,
and among them you have intended to acquire a
new red car. You have been very specific about
your car, and as you made your list of what you
want and why you want it, visualizing yourself as
the owner of this car, you felt yourself filled with
strong, positive, excited emotion. And as you are
moving through your day, thinking about various
things, your car is on its way to you, for you have
set it into motion, and you have done nothing to
stop its motion toward you. And then, as you are
driving, not focused or thinking about anything in
particular, you see an automobile very much like
the one that you are wanting, driving next to you.
As you look over at it and you feel happy or
excited, then that positive emotion is an indication
to you that, in that moment, the thoughts that you
are thinking, regarding the creation of your new
red car, are in harmony. But, if, as you look over
at that car, you feel depressed or dissatisfied, or
you are unhappy and anxious because you do not
have it yet, or you feel jealous that the other
driver does have it and you do not - then know
that the negative emotion is an indication that you
are creating against your desire, and in the time
that you are feeling those negative emotions, you
are pushing your car away rather than attracting it
to you.
Because you are sensitive to the negative emotion

that you feel, you are now aware that you are
pushing your car away. You may stop that
negative creating, immediately, by bringing
yourself from your negative thought and negative
emotion to positive thought and positive emotion
by building the following bridge:
"I want a new red car like that one. By making this
statement of intent, I have set the creation in
motion. Now I have only to allow it to be, and it
will be. My Guidance System has alerted me that,
for a moment, I was pushing the car away, but I
have stopped that now and am again attracting it
by my strong desire. It is a beautiful car. I am
excited when I think about having and driving my
new red car. Circumstances or events or others
cannot prevent me from having my red car. Only
my own thoughts might push it away. But now my
thoughts are again attracting the car. I know that,
because I feel positive emotion."
As you begin to apply this exercise, you will get

very good at it. You will find yourself responding to
the negative "warning bell" emotion in the very
early, subtle stages before other negative
thoughts are attracted. You will have far fewer
negative experiences experienced by you once this
process is understood, for most negative
experiences start out with a small and subtle
negative thought and negative emotion, and then,
by the Law of Attraction, blossom into something
much bigger and more painful.
There is great value in recognizing, at the early

stages, that you are upon a negative path, so that
you may divert it and by your deliberate decision
create in the direction of that which you choose,
instead.
NEGATIVE EMOTION IS OF GREAT VALUE, FOR IT

ALERTS YOU TO NEGATIVE CREATION, BUT IF THE
NEGATIVE EMOTION GOES UNNOTICED, AND THE
LAW OF ATTFACTION ENHANCES IT, SO THAT IT
BECOMES LARGER AND LARGER - THEN YOUR
PHYSICAL APPARATUS IS DAMAGED, AND WHAT
IS WANTED IS PUSHED AWAY.
A very high percentage of those who are

experiencing physical deterioration or illness, in
your time, are experiencing it because the
"warning bell", or negative emotion, has been
ignored.
Exercise
Deliberate Creative Control

We encourage you to be aware of the natural
segments of your day. There are not two of you
who experience the same SEGMENTS, for each of
your life experiences are different, but we will give
you some examples here:
When you wake up in the morning, the time that

you remain in bed after you are awake is a
segment. After you get out of bed, the time that
you are in your house, making preparation to
leave for work, or other activities is a segment.
When you get into your automobile, the time that
you are in your automobile, moving from one
place to another is a segment. When you answer
the telephone, it begins a new segment. When
someone walks into your office, it begins a new
segment, and so on.
IF YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE BEGUN

A NEW SEGMENT, AND AT THE BEGINNING OF
EACH SEGMENT, IF YOU WILL TAKE A MOMENT TO
CLARIFY WHAT YOUR DOMINANT INTENTIONS
ARE - WHAT YOU MOST WANT TO RECEIVE, OR
GIVE, DURING THAT SEGMENT - THEN YOU WILL
BE IN DELIBERATE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
EXPERIENCE. You are beings who hold many
intentions, and every intention does not apply to
every moment of your life experience. Some of
your intentions are more appropriate in some
moments, while others are more appropriate in
others. And it is necessary for you to identify
which intentions are most important during which
moments in order to be in complete and deliberate
control of your life experience. For example:
When you get into your automobile, as you are

buckling your safety belt, intend safety, keen
awareness, and perceptiveness of what other
drivers are intending. Clearly, it is more
appropriate to intend safety when getting into
your automobile than when you are reading a
book at home.
When you answer your telephone, take a moment,

once you know who is calling, to intend that which
you most want to communicate to that person.
Intend clarity of thought and clarity of expression.
Intend brevity if it is important. Intend to uplift the
caller. It is more appropriate that you intend
clarity of communication as you are speaking on
the telephone than when you are swimming alone
in your pool.
Most of you do not take time to think about what

you generally want, let alone thinking specifically
about what you want, moment by moment as you
move through your day. But as you identify each
new segment and intend clearly what your
dominant intentions are for that segment, you will
have deliberate control of your life experience.
We are aware that it would he cumbersome to

stop in every moment to identify what you most
want, but it Is not cumbersome to divide your day
into segments and to take a few seconds in the
beginning of each segment to identify what you
are wanting.
In a short time you will find it is very easy for you

to identify the beginning of a new segment, and
the few seconds that it takes to intend what you
are wanting will not only streamline your life,
providing much more time to do those things that
you are wanting to do, but you will find much
more joyous contentment within each day as you
are receiving that which you have deliberately
intended.
Exercise
OPENING THE PATHWAY BETWEEN

YOUR PHYSICAL AND INNER
WORLDS
In order to sense your inner world you must first

quiet the physical world. You must remove your
conscious focus from the physical world, that you
might perceive the inner world. It is not a difficult
process. It has been called many different things
some call it meditation - but regardless of what
you call it, it is a time of quieting the physical, that
you may sense the inner world:
Sit in a quiet place, making yourself comfortable,

and close your eyes - and be. Do whatever you
can to reduce the possibility of conscious physical
interruption. And as you are comfortably sitting,
quiet your conscious thinking mind. In the
beginning, that is not an easy task, for your
conscious thinking mind is very quick to respond
to the stimulation of thought. You have trained it
to be fast, and it is eager to participate.
As you are sitting, intending to quiet your

conscious thinking mind, in time it will allow you
your quiet time. We encourage a short time in
every day - FIFTEEN OR TWENTY MINUTES IS
ENOUGH. The time of the day is not important,
and it need not he the same time in every day, hut
it Is important that you set aside the time, in
every day.
As you have quieted your conscious thinking mind

- perhaps by concentrating upon your breathing -
and as you are not so aware of the physical world
in which you live, you will begin to perceive the
inner world, and for each of you it will be a
different experience.
We encourage you not to compare your

experiences with those of another, for there is no
value in comparison. The intent of comparison is
to find one better than the other, and as you are
focusing upon the one that you do not Prefer -
YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT
WANT IS ATTRACTING THAT WHICH YOU DO NOT
WANT INTO YOUR EXPERIENCE.
In time - for some of you it may be in the first

sitting - you will sense a sort of numbing of your
physical being, and that is an indication that you
have succeeded at quieting your conscious
thinking mind and your physical world, that you
may sense the inner world.
What are the advantages of being sensitive to the

inner world? When you understand that you are a
much broader, more experienced, wiser, older
being than your physical being remembers, then
you will see the advantage of being in touch with
that being, and, in fact, receiving communication
from it. Each of you are already receiving
communication from that Inner Being in the form
of emotion, but you can receive much more
detailed information if you are wanting it. The
process of quieting your physical world, that you
may sense the inner world, will open that path of
communication between your physical dimension
and the inner dimension, so that you may receive
guidance that is appropriate - and that you may
offer instruction in terms of what you are currently
wanting.
Communication is not intended to be only from the

inner world to the physical world but from the
physical world to the inner world, as well. It is a
pathway through which you may offer your clear
intent, and once your channel, or pathway, has
been established - there are many wondrous
benefits.
Once you have decided that you are wanting, or

intending, to open the passageway from your
physical dimension to the Nonphysical dimension,
then you have only to allow it to be. And the
setting aside of the time in which to quiet your
physical world is your allowing of the opening.
As with each other segment of your day, it is also

important that you identify the intent as you move
into this segment of meditation. If your intent is to
open the passageway between dimensions, that
you may receive clear communication, then state
it as you are beginning to meditate. If your intent
is to quiet the physical world, for you are wanting
the relaxation of being apart from that which is
confusing and overwhelming and tiring, then state
that.
You are the creator of that which you will

experience during this time, but for our purposes
here, we have offered this exercise that you may
allow the opening of the passageway between
your physical and inner worlds.


by Esther Hicks
"From our Non-physical perspective, our focus can easily be extended to include a clear awareness of
your physical experience, while from your physical dimension, it is more difficult for you to extend
your awareness to include our Non-physical experience."
Page 39
"Do not worry. Your experience, your hard work, your growth, is not being wasted, for your Inner
Beings accumulates every particle of every experience that you have ever lived, or that you are now
living."
Page 45
"Actually, nothing here in your physical environment can be explained ONLY through physical terms,
and so, that which you not understand, you force into a sort of logic, and the result of that is that the
majority of you are living and working and seeing through eyes of tremendous misconceptions."
Page 50
"To receive information from the inner world it will be necessary for you to hear with your mind,
instead of your ears. And as with most things that are new, it will take some practice to make the
adjustment."
Page 60
"In the same way that you have 'feeling" sensors in your fingertips, to protect your fingers from
sharp, or hot, objects, your Inner Being often evokes feelings or emotions within you to guide you.
The discomfort of pain in your fingertips brings forth an impulse to act that prevents you from greater
harm, and in the same way, negative emotion is offered to guide you away from that which is not of
value to you."
Page 65
"...your Inner Being is able to accurately assess all of the details of your wanting, and to intricately
prioritize your subjects of desire. Your Inner Being knows which of your intentions are dominant,
which supersedes another, and so on. Your Inner Being not only considers the factors of this physical
experience, but remembers the intentions that you held at the time of your emergence into this body,
and all of those intentions are factored into the equation for guidance."
Page 66
"...but when there is interacting with others who have strong ideas of right and wrong -- when you
have lost your own sense of guidance -- then you are buffeted about in all of the differences,
becoming more and more confused."
Page 71
"You are continually offering a message, or pure meaning, to the Universe. Not through your words,
not through your thoughts, but through the way you feel. Of course, the way you feel in any moment
is as a result of your choice of thought or word. But it is the way that you feel that is your true
message to the Universe, and it is the way that you feel that is your point of magnetic attraction. And
that which is like unto itself is drawn."
Page 81
"On the other hand, when you grasp the concept of joyous becoming, then, in your now, even though
many of the things that you want are not yet part of your experience, as you are joyously anticipating
them, actually enjoying your journey toward those things, then you are in a state of joyous becoming,
and you not only shorten the time between the not-having-now and the later-having-future, but you
enjoy yourself in the meantime. And then, just like the magnificent sculptor or artist, you are
gloriously involved in the hands-on creation of your life experience."
Page 87
"But if you are looking forward to a happier tomorrow, and find yourself continually contrasting the
less pleasant what-is with the more pleasant future, your attraction is more toward the less pleasant
what-is than the more wanted future."

"Most physical beings are aware of influence but have only a partial understanding of influence.
Instead of benefiting by the influence that could enhance your experience, most of you are in a
position of protecting yourselves from influences, and so, the end result is not benefit but detriment."
Page 91
"The triad of intentions that are very well established within you are: Freedom, growth and joy."
Page 98
"Esther's dream exemplifies the lopsided creation that many of you are living, for you often make
hasty decisions that satisfy only the most superficial of your intentions, while your action, or decision,
defies the intentions that are really important to you."
Page 100
"As you give thought to something that you want, very much, and you feel excitement or happiness -
the combination of your chosen directed thought and the corresponding positive emotion, are, in that
moment, drawing unto you the subject of your thought and emotion."
Page 103
"The process of Deliberate Creation is twofold: It involves the thought that you project, and the
corresponding feeling that comes forth. You offer the thought from your conscious, physical
perspective -- and your Inner Being offers you a corresponding feeling. Therefore, you are literally co-
creating: You, the physical you, and you, the inner, Non-physical you."
Page 107
"To stand in your now, looking forward with deliberate intent and anticipation of what is to come, is
infinitely more satisfying than to stand in your now, looking back, retracing your steps as to how you
got where you are."
Page 109
"We are exhilarated to find so many of our physical friends wanting to understand the Law of
Deliberate Creation. And there is not a better way to understand this Law than by evaluating your own
personal physical life experience. As you see the absolute association between your thought and
action and what you are living, you come to understand how it has come to be."
Page 109
"As you set a goal to achieve a new house, or a new body size and a shape, or a new occupation - and
you reach that goal - you misunderstand, thinking that the new house or new body or new job was the
subject of creation, when all along the subject of creation is your state of being. In this physical
experience you use the format of houses and bodies and jobs to facilitate your state of being - but
none of those physical things are the subject of your creation. YOU ARE THE SUBJECT OF YOUR
CREATION. YOUR STATE OF BEING, OR THE WAY YOU FEEL, IS THE SUBJECT OF YOUR CREATION. If
you will seek ways to observe your state of being, you will have a clearer understanding of how you
are doing in the creation of you. If you will deliberately identify the way you want to feel or be, you
will be more effective in achieving that which you came into this body to achieve."
Page 112
"It is far more beneficial to your overall creation to, first, identify the state of being that you intend,
and next, the state of having that you intend - and last, what action you will seek."
Page 114
"By stopping, before taking any action, And asking, "Will this action enhance my intended state of
being?" you will always know the appropriateness of that possible action."
Page 114

by Esther Hicks
"You can move much more swiftly and effectively toward the joyous success you seek in life by giving
your attention and emphasis to the way you want to feel, or to your state of being, rather than to the
action."
Page 114
"In other words, as you go to your job, feeling distaste for it, because you believe that if you do not
work you will not have money, and what will be worse, then your negative feeling of distaste is the
predominant factor - and from your state of feeling, you will attract more and more reasons to feel
distaste. However, instead of acting first, if, from your state of being, you will identify your quest for
freedom (and the dollars you earn are synonymous with freedom), your quest for growth (your
interaction with others always affords you new understanding), your quest for joy (you can find that,
whenever and wherever you look for it) you will be inspired to the action that will harmonize with
those core intentions."
Page 116
"Surely you have witnessed those who, in their feeling of insecurity, act out aggressively. They try to
compensate with their action to make up for the feeling of lack. But they can not make up for it in
action that tries to compensate, for that action only adds powerful emphasis to the deep lack within.
And that lack that they feel is their point of attraction. They must focus upon their desire to feel
secure first - and the action that will enhance their feeling of security will be inspired."
Page 116
"By giving 99% of your attention to bringing yourself to the feeling that you seek and giving 1% of
your attention to inspired action -- you will be in a place of powerful motion forward while you exist in
a continuous state of joyful well-being."
Page 118
"There is tremendous benefit to you to interact with those who see in you what you want to see in
yourself But, in like manner, it can be very detrimental to your self-appreciation to have those in your
experience who do not see in you the things you are wanting to see."
Page 119
"Our encouragement is that you let your opinion of you be your top priority. That you put your
greatest effort into examining yourself with the intent of discovering wonderful things. That you let the
way you feel be the most important aspect of your work. For it is our absolute knowing that the way
you feel is your point of attraction. From a place of self-appreciation you will attract all sorts f
wonderful things. From a centered place of liking yourself you will allow all wonderful things to come
unto you."
Page 119
"...if you will not only consider the action that you believe is directly related to your success or failure,
but also make the correlation between the way you were feeling during that time of action, then you
will discover the powerful understanding that we are offerings to you here."
Page 121
"When the only perspective you have of yourself is purely from your physical perspective of flesh and
blood and bone, then your total approach to life is from the physical perspective of action. From that
limited perspective, you tend to see physical evidence looming bigger than it actually is."
Page 125
"A feeling of vulnerability, and expectation of bad things happening, is the reason that bad things
happen. That feelings produces the physical evidence of bad things happenings.""
Page 126
"Even the most dreaded disease will vanish when you completely remove your attention from it."

by Esther Hicks
"If you are wanting to affect the outcome of your physical experiences in a positive way, put your
primary attention upon the way you feel -- and look for reasons to feel good."
Page 134
"To put yourself in the clear, unrestricted, unresisted position of allowing health, or abundance, or
security, or love, or whatever it is that you consider to be Well-being, you have only to identify your
desire, and then relax, with the intent of basking in the spirit of Well-being."
Page 139
"We are not different on that point; it is just that we are a little more practiced at holding our
thoughts only upon what are wanting."
Page 182
"When you feel free, you're free to be who you want to be under any and all conditions, and you really
don't worry about what anybody else thinks about it, because you know that what they think about
you is their problem. It has nothing to do with you. And when you really feel that way, you become in
the greatest place that we know of, which is in the place of allowing -- and you know you are in the
place of allowing when you can see another not approving of you and it is okay with you."
Page 184
"Your laws do not affect you, it is your attention to your laws that affect you. Your neighbors do not
affect you, it is your attention to your neighbors that affect you."
Page 189
"There is never a better way of inviting into your experience than getting really, really excited about
something. The more excited you are -- negatively or positively -- the faster, the faster it comes. The
more excited you are the faster it comes. And what gets you excited? Talking about it. Or talking to
others who are excited about it."
Page 204
"You mean, me has not always been me? I'm not climbing up the rungs of the ladder from worm to
GOD?" And we say, "Indeed not." You began GOD and you are extending your experiences because
you want to have more knowing. There is not an ending to growth."
Page 210
"...we would say need should be removed from your experience altogether. The word need is purely
coming from a position of lack."
Page 223
"Ordinarily, when you feel negative emotion, the majority of the time, it is because your freedom is
being challenged. Somebody is telling you you can't do something or somebody is not believing you
can do something, and you're feeling it. The majority of the negative emotion that all of you feel has
to do with freedom."
Page 229
"...the Universe doesn't speak English, you see. The "fairies of the Universe"...We are having fun with
that....The Laws of the Universe -- by which all things come to you -- responds to blocks of thought
and the corresponding feeling, but does not understand English, anyway. Whether you say "want" or
"intend" or "know" or "am" or "be." it is the way that you feel that is being acted upon, you see. And
so, as you are saying "I want" but you are feeling otherwise - then you are getting the result of the
predominant feeling."

"It is attention to lack that causes negative emotion, always."

Page 246
"The point we are making is when you feel great negative emotion, it is because this is an important
issue to you."
Page 249
"And so, as you acknowledge your perfection, as you say, "Here I am, healthy," and live with that for
a moment. Envision yourself, and try to get to that feeling place. "Here I am, a magnificent mother.
Here I am, a most creative artist. Here I am, a generator of thought and new ideas in the world." Find
words that will exaggerate the feeling to you. "Here I am, Here I am."
Page 265
"When we say, "You are creators," you think we are talking about creating furniture, or creating
houses, or creating empires, or creating relationships. That isn't what we talk about when we talk
about creating. We are talking about the creating of your state of being. And when you have
understood that, and are giving that your dominant attention, then all of the physical trappings of this
Universe will fall into alignment in such glorious fashion that you will amaze even yourself. YOU
CANNOT DO IT WITH ACTION. IT IS THROUGH FOCUSING UPON HOW YOU WANT TO FEEL."
Page 266
"In other words, those of you who are physical counterparts of the Non-physical family of teachers, in
this case, specifically of ABRAHAM, are highly evolved beings who know your power, and so there is
this feeling, sometimes, a frustrating one of being trapped in the mundaneness of the physical. It
would be like knowing you are an eagle who can soar and then having somebody clip your wings, and
say, "You are an eagle, but here, eagles don't fly." And so, you're walking around on the ground,
knowing, remembering what it was like to fly, but not being able to get off the ground. And that is the
whole point of our discussion with you, here."

Exercise
Meditation
We offer our words, knowing that they will remind

you of experiences past, or prepare you for clearer
recognition of the experiences that are to come.
No amount of words offered in explanation are as
valuable as real first-hand experience. And so, we
could write thousands of pages, here, about the
existence of your Inner Being and its willingness to
communicate with you and the value thereof, and
in all of those pages of reading, you would not
reap the benefit of one simple physical exercise.
And so, here we will offer to you a step-by-step
process to facilitate the opening of a passageway
between the conscious physical you and the inner
you - your Inner Being - that you may have that
valuable first-hand experience.
And so, if you are accepting the existence of the

inner world and of your Inner Being, and if you are
now wanting fuller communication and more
experiencing of the reservoir of knowledge and
strength and clarity that is there for you,, here is
the process:
It is important that you have a desire for the

opening of this passageway in order to achieve it.
It must be something that you want. Then all that
is required is that you set some time aside to allow
it.
Find 15 or 20 minutes in every day to sit with the

intent of quieting your conscious mind. It is not
necessary that you block the same time of day
every day, but it is great value to be consistent
and not miss a day, for this process is a
progressive thing.
Quieting of your mind means sitting for a few

minutes each day and allowing your mind to rest,
still and quiet, not thinking of anything. That is not
an easy thing for you to do, for your thinking
mechanisms are very responsive to stimulation of
thought, however it is important that you quiet
your mind for a short time each day.
Many have questioned, "How can I quiet my mind

without falling asleep?" .
That is a very good question, and an important

one. For falling asleep does not put you in the
place of allowing this process. If we were drawing
you a graphic picture on paper, we would show full
conscious awareness on one end of our graph, and
being fast asleep on the other extreme. And what
you are wanting to achieve is very near the end of
being asleep, yet you are wanting to be awake.
Sometimes it is helpful to focus upon something
within your physical awareness that requires very
little conscious thought, such as the sound of a
dripping faucet, or the sight of a flickering candle.
Sometimes concentrating only upon your own
breathing is effective. Your first objective in your
deliberate opening of your passageway between
the physical you and the Non-physical you is to
consciously withdraw your thoughts from the
physical realm and allow yourself to sit, quiet, still,
and eternally connected to that which is Non-
physical. Only when the external awarenesses of
the physical world are released can you sense the
subtle awarenesses of the Non-physical world.
However, it is not beneficial for you to try to see,
or sense, or hear, the Non-physical world in the
early days of your sitting. Your objective is simple
and singular: "I am sitting with the intent of
stilling my mind." .
When you have succeeded, even for a few

seconds, with stilling your conscious thinking
mechanism, your physical body will feel different
to you. You will feel numbness, or heaviness.
Esther said she could not tell her nose from her
toe, with all parts of her body feeling as if they
were one part.
This numbness, or heaviness, is an indication that

you have succeeded in quieting your conscious
thinking mechanism, and you are, in that moment
of numbness, in the state of allowing the
alignment of your Energies. Your first objective
has been accomplished and now your Inner Being
is in a position to do its work. As you sit in this
absolute state of allowing, your Inner Being will
begin to align your Energies, merging the faster,
higher frequency Energy of the inner world with
the slower, lower frequency Energy of your
physical world. During this process there is
nothing for you to do, other than sit with the
intent of quieting your mind. If you try to become
actively involved in the process, you will lose your
place of numbness and you will interfere with the
work of your Inner Being.
Each day, as you accomplish the quieting of your

mind, and allow the alignment of your Energies,
your blending becomes more, until eventually,
during your process of quieting your mind, you will
feel physical sensations such as twitching of
muscles, or the itching or tickling of your skin.
Those sensations are physical evidence of the
aligning of your Energies. Do not give attention to
these sensations, for you will lose your place of
numbness. Continue to quiet your mind, and focus
upon that place of quiet.
When you receive movement, in other words,

when your hand moves, or your head moves, or
when a finger or toe wiggles, and you know you
did not set forth the signal for the movement, your
alignment of Energies has been sufficiently
completed to begin the process of communication.
When your body moves and you did not
consciously intend the motion, understand that the
intent to move was sent from your Inner Being,
from Non-physical perspective, and you are the
conscious physical receiver of the impulse or
intentions. And once that occurs, the conscious
transmission and receiving of blocks of thoughts
from Non-physical to physical has been
successfully accomplished.
The amount of time that will pass from your first

decision to quiet your mind to the receiving of
movement will vary from person to person. The
factors that most affect your success, in this
alignment of Energies process, are these:
(1) Your degree of wanting of this alignment

process. Are you really wanting to interact with
your Non-physical counterpart, or are you sending
forth contradictory messages of concern or
reluctance? As your wanting is pure and not
sabotaged by thoughts of worry or doubt, your
alignment process will be very fast. The better you
feel, the faster the process.
(2) The impetus behind your wanting. Do you seek

this interaction from your positive position of
wanting, or from your negative position of lack?
Do you seek this interaction from your position of
wanting to experience more freedom, more growth
and more joy, or are you wanting your Inner Being
to intervene and fix the things you have messed
up in your life? Again, the better you feel, the
faster the process.
(3) Your willingness to allow this alignment. Have

you been able to successfully quiet your mind so
that you feel detached or numb for at least one or
two minutes each time you sit to quiet your mind,
or does your mind continue to ponder throughout
the quiet time? If you are having difficulty quieting
your mind, try sitting at the beginning of your day,
before you have received so much thought
stimulation.
There is not a prescribed amount of time that is

required for the opening of your passageway. If it
is your desire, and you sit wanting and willing to
allow the alignment, this can be a very fast
process.
The alignment of Energies is an extremely

technical process and cannot be accomplished
from your physical perspective. You cannot begin
to identify the points of Energy within your
physical apparatus, for there are thousands of
them. Your Inner Being, however, is fully aware of
each Energy point, and has full awareness of the
level of vibration within each. It is absolutely the
work of your inner perspective - not your
conscious perspective - to accomplish this task.
You may trust that your Inner Being is capable of
this delicate task. Your work, from your conscious
physical perspective, is to set forth your clear
intent, or desire, for this alignment, and then to
put yourself in the physical position of allowing the
alignment.
The alignment of Energies is an ongoing thing, for

you will never achieve absolute alignment as long
as you remain focused through your physical
apparatus.
Only when you die, by your terms, or withdraw

from your physical focus and re-emerge into the
Non-physical, by our terms, will you be absolutely
blending with the Non-physical Energies. But
sufficient blending for the extreme enhancement
of your physical experience can be rather easily
accomplished
Exercise
Finding Your Sense of Self
As you accept that your Inner Being exists as the

culmination of all that you have lived, and that
your Inner Being is absolutely aware of you, and
adores you, then you have taken a very big step
toward an appreciation of self.
If you are wanting to get a sense of that which

you have just read, sit quietly for a few moments
and offer some very clear thoughts. Choose a
subject that delights you. Think of someone you
adore, and offer thought of your pleasant
interaction with that one. Or think of something
that you are wanting to experience, and let
thoughts of living that experience roll across your
mind. Or think of something that you have
recently done that you enjoyed very much. And as
you ponder these positive thoughts, feel the
positive Energy surge through your body as your
Inner Being resonates with your current thoughts.
Then choose a subject that is not so pleasant.
Contemplate not having enough money, and think
of the bad state you will be in when the bills come
and there is not enough money to pay. Or think of
that person who has wronged you, and spend
some time justifying your own position while you
defend yourself mentally against this enemy. Or
think of your own deficiencies, beating up on
yourself mentally for a while. Now, feel the
absence of your happy Inner Being. Notice the
feeling of divergence. See how it feels to choose
subjects that your Inner Being does not agree
with. Feel what it feels like to be disconnected
from your positive powerful Inner Being and to
stand there physical, and disconnected.
Someone said to us, "ABRAHAM, why would my

Inner Being forsake me, just when I needed him
most? Why would my Inner Being turn his back on
me?"
And we say, your Inner Being never turns it's

attention from you, but you are not always in the
place of allowing that which your Inner Being is.
When you feel good, you are in the place of
allowing your connection with your Inner Being,
and when you feel bad, you are not.
Your most important work - that which is the very

basis of your accomplishment, achievement and
satisfaction from this life experience - is your
finding your true sense of self.
Exercise
Law of Creation
The things that come to you, the circumstances

that come to you, the relationships that come to
you, indeed all of the stuff that your physical
experience is comprised of, comes to you - NOT
BY THE POWER OF YOUR ACTION, BUT BY
THE BALANCE OF THOUGHT THAT YOU HOLD.
That thought evokes a feeling response within you
which serves as an indicator of what you are
attracting.
In the heat of the summer, our friend, Esther, the

woman through whom we are speaking, was
walking across the grass in her front yard, noting
how very dry the grass and trees were. She
stopped, and said, in a very positive sounding
voice, using positive words, "ABRAHAM, I want
some rain!" We said, "And from this position of
lack, you think you will get rain?" Esther asked,
"What am I doing wrong?" "Why do you want the
rain?" we asked. "I want the rain because it makes
the grass green. I want the rain because it
refreshes the trees. I want the rain because it
gives all the creatures in the bushes enough water
so that they are not dependent upon the small
amount in our bird bath. I want the rain because it
lowers the temperature of the air, and feels good
upon my skin, and it makes us all feel better."
"Now you are attracting rain," we replied.
When do you, or others you know, usually think

about health? When you are sick! When do you
usually think about having more money? When
there isn't enough! When do you usually think
about finding a mate? When you are lonely! And
under those conditions, from your position of lack
- you are attracting more of the lack of what you
want, rather than attracting what you want.
What we are most wanting you to hear from all of

this is this: You cannot feel one way and think and
speak another, and expect to receive what you are
thinking or speaking - because the way you feel
influences what you are attracting. You can smile a
broad smile, and speak happy words, but it is what
is in your heart, or the way that you feel, that is
your predominant point of attraction. When you
feel fat, you cannot attract slim! When you feel
poor, you cannot attract prosperity! When you feel
lonely, you cannot attract a companion! IT
DEFIES LAW! AND WHAT IS THAT LAW? LAW
OF ATTRACTION. THAT WHICH IS LIKE UNTO
ITSELF IS DRAWN.
What is necessary, before you can begin the

attraction of what you want, is that you change
the way that you feel. You must bring yourself to a
state of feeling good before you can attract what
you want, or what you consider to be good.
Exercise
The Process of Pivoting
The Process of pivoting will assist you in changing

your negative point of attraction to a positive point
of attraction, Here is how it works:
Whenever you feel negative emotion, recognize

that your Guidance System, from within, is telling
you two very important things: First, there is
something you want! Otherwise you would be
feeling no emotion. Second, you are not looking at
what you want, but in the opposite direction.
Recognizing this, say to yourself, "There is

something important that I want, but I am not
looking at it. What is it that 1 want?" You may
continue to think along those lines by asking,
"Why do I want this?" As you ponder what it is
that you do want, and why you want it, then begin
to envision yourself as already being in that
position. Already being it, or having it, or doing it,
until you feel the positive emotion come forth
within you.
The more you apply this process, the more

proficient you will become. And the faster the pivot
will occur. You will know, or recognize, when you
have successfully accomplished a pivot - when you
feel better. If you are very sensitive to the way
that you feel, you may find one hundred to one
thousand opportunities to pivot in just one day.
However, there will not be one hundred or one
thousand different things that you want. You will
begin to discover that all of this pivoting is
pointing to a few things that are extremely
important to you: Freedom, usually highest in
priority. Growth. Joy. Upliftment.
Pivoting accomplishes the following things: First,

and most importantly, it leads you to a continuous
state of feeling positive emotion - which means
you are continuously in a magnetic point of
attracting only what you consider to be good. Also,
as you are sensitive to the way you feel, you are
allowing your Guidance System, from within, to
point out to you things that are important to you,
so that as you notice more and more opportunities
to pivot - the things that are of greatest
importance to you become more apparent to you.
Next, with every pivot, you draw greater clarity
about what you want, and move ever closer to it.
Some misunderstand the process of pivoting. They

believe that we are saying, find something that is
obviously wrong, and call it right. Or, look at
something that is white, and call it black. That is
not what we mean by pivoting.
• Pivoting is the process that helps you discover

what is most important to you.
• Pivoting is the process that puts you into a
continual state of attracting only what you want.
• Pivoting is the process through which you chew
upon the data of life, determining your ever-
changing point of desire.
• Pivoting is recognizing that when you are feeling
negative emotion, that you are, in that moment of
feeling bad, attracting that which you consider to
be bad, and then making a conscious decision to
stop that attraction and begin a positive attraction.
• Pivoting is the process of changing your
thought, word, or action, thus changing your
emotional response.
• Pivoting is the process where you recognize, by
the negative emotion that you are feeling, that
you are taking the Non-physical Energy of the
Universe and directing it toward what you do not
want, or toward the lack of what you do want.
• Pivoting is the process whereby you round up
any renegade Energy that you have offered in
opposition to what you want, and get it going only
in the direction of your desire.
• Pivoting is the process that changes the
direction of your creating, or more specifically
stated, the direction of your attracting.
• Pivoting is the process that brings you into
balance with your core intentions.
The process of pivoting - literally watching for

opportunities, or reasons, to identify what it is you
do want - because you are currently feeling bad
because you are currently focused upon lack of
what you want, or focused upon what you do not
want - is the key to lead you to the productive,
joyful physical life experience that you intended
even before your emergence into this physical
body.
So often, we are asked the question, "Why am I

here?" So many physical beings do not understand
why they exist, and even though many answers
have been offered, including such things as, "You
are here, being tested, to prove yourselves worthy
of happy existence after this physical life," to "You
are an accidental product of physical mass coming
together," we would like to offer a further
explanation:
YOU ARE CREATORS! NOT GATHERERS OF THINGS
OR REL4TIONSHIPS. NOT REGURGITATORS OF
EXPERIENCES LIVED BY OTHERS! You have very
specifically chosen this time and this place and this
dimension for the deliberate application of
Universal Laws. In short, you wanted to be here
upon the earth, in this physical body, at this time,
to enjoy the deliciousness of creating.
Exercise
Wallet Process for the Attraction

of Dollars
If you conclude that your balance of thought

regarding the subject of dollars is more on the side
of the lack of dollars, rather than the pure wanting
of dollars, here is an effective process that will
help you to tip the balance: Set aside, from your
budget, or savings, a clump of money. $100 is a
very good sum to begin with. Put it in your pocket,
or pocket book, or purse, and keep it with you
wherever you go. As you move through your day,
identify as many things as possible that you could
do, if you wanted to, with those dollars. Note the
things that you could buy, or use, or experience,
or eat, in exchange for your $100. We have been
teased, ABRAHAM you obviously have not been
physical lately, because $100 buys very little,
today." However, if you mentally spend that $100,
one thousand times today, you have spent the
equivalent of one hundred thousand dollars, and it
is our absolute promise to you that you have
changed the balance of your thought.
Pay attention to your own thoughts regarding the

subject of money. If you find yourself noticing the
things that you cannot afford, and feeling the
frustration of that, know that you are adding to
the lack side of your balance regarding dollars. If
you find yourself envious, or angry, because
others have dollars when you do not, you are
adding to the lack side of your own balance. When
you pay your bills, do you feel good or bad? As the
money moves through your fingers do your feel
the positive or the negative momentum?
The Wallet Process, described above, will assist

you in changing the balance of your thought
regarding the subject of dollars, and in the
moment that the balance is tipped, more dollars
will begin to flow into your experience. It is law.
(Later in the Book p.262-263)
Picture the man who seeks fortune. And we do not

mean to be materialistic, except everything in your
environment is, and so it is a good point to start.
He seeks fortune, but he does not have a fortune.
So how does he get from his position of not having
it, to having it? By acknowledging the good
fortune in what he has. By looking for reasons to
feel good about what he has. By taking the
meager one hundred dollars, putting it in his
pocket and acknowledging how valuable it is. "I
can have that, I can have that, I can have that."
Until that one hundred dollars will foster within
him a feeling of prosperity. Now, we know that if
this man will continue to do this, in very short
order he will have 10, or 20, or 30 million dollars
that he will be using to foster that feeling of
prosperity. And we know, that in a very short
time, he will look back upon that time that he had
only one hundred dollars, and he'll have a hard
time remembering why it excited him. But from
his position, right now, it will excite him if he will
allow himself to focus.
What we are really saying to you is that under any

and all conditions, if you will look for your reason
to feel good, for it is always there, rather than
look for your reason not to feel good, by virtue of
some comparison of something outside of you,
then you will be in that centered place of positive
attraction, and from that centered place of positive
attraction, you will move beyond and move
beyond and move beyond.
Exercise
PROCESS: BOOK OF POSITIVE

ASPECTS
This exercise will assist you in finding a more

deliberate, constant place of positive attraction:
Purchase a new notebook. Write across the front
of your book, in bold letters: "Book of Positive
Aspects". The primary objective of your Book of
Positive Aspects is to quickly bring you to a
position of feeling good, therefore to a position of
positive attraction, but there are many other
benefits: A daily entering of positive aspects on
old and new subjects will help you to maintain
your positive balance. As one area of your life
draws you to your Book of Positive Aspects, the
recording of your entries will bleed over into other
aspects of your experience. Because you are
feeling better more of the time, more of the things
that you consider to be good will begin to flow
smoothly into your experience. Many of the things
that you have been wanting - but have been
blocking by offering thoughts that attract
resistance in the form of negative emotion - will
easily flow into your experience. The balance of
thought and feeling in your experience will shift
from predominantly negative to predominantly
positive. You will soon discover that no matter
what the emotional state of your world, your
economy, or even those close around you in your
work or home, you will find yourself in a more
positive balance, and by law, indeed by the Law of
Attraction, your own life will begin to show the
result of that, immediately.
This "Book of Positive Aspects" is not offered as a

process whereby you take a negative and turn it
into a positive. It is a process to assist you in
giving your attention to that which is positive. And
as you are focusing upon that which is positive,
you cannot focus upon that which is negative. And
when you withdraw your attention from that which
is negative - it will leave your experience.
Upon each page, begin a new subject. Write what

flows easily from you. Do not work at it. When you
work at it, you may find yourself trying to stretch
something you actually feel negative about into a
positive, and in giving it attention, even giving it
positive words - you further your negative
attention. When the thoughts regarding a
particular subject have stopped flowing, turn to a
fresh new page and begin a new subject. 15
minutes at the beginning of each day is enough
time for this process.
On the second day, read what you have written

before, and add as the thoughts come to you.
Notice how good you feel during and following this
process.
If you find yourself feeling negative emotion

regarding a specific person in your experience,
begin a page of positive aspects regarding that
person.
If you find yourself feeling negative emotion

regarding any subject, such as not enough money,
not enough time, too much work to do, not
enough respect from another ... begin a page in
your book to help yourself to identify the positive
aspects of that particular situation.
You will notice, right away, that your overall

feeling is improved. Not only will the specific
situations, upon which you have written, improve
immediately, but, also, other experiences not yet
identified in your book, because AS YOU FEEL
BETTER YOU ATTRACT MORE OF THAT WHICH YOU
CONSIDER TO BE GOOD. AS YOU FEEL BAD, YOU
ATTRACT MORE OF THAT WHICH YOU CONSIDER
TO BE BAD.
Continue for a full week, each day reading what

has been written before and adding to that. At the
end of the first week, put your book aside and
purchase another.
Again, write across the front of your book: "My

book of Positive Aspects". You may now begin to
see this book as the treasure it really is, for it is
the key to your centered, balanced place of Well-
being. It is the key to your deliberate positioning
of yourself in a place of positive attraction. While
your world is predominantly focused upon the
negative, with many more critics than those who
praise - you have found a process to control the
way you feel. While almost everyone you know
makes decisions to act from their concern of what
will happen if they don't act - you are being
inspired to positive, joyful activity.
The motivation to act is inspired from two primary

sources: From a clear, exhilarated vision of what is
wanted, or from a clear, uncomfortable vision of
what is not wanted. As we view your physical
world, we see that the majority of action is
inspired from the negative perspective of what is
not wanted. Most are moved to act, not because of
their blissful, excited positive objective, but
because they believe that if they do not act, there
will be negative consequences. In other words,
they do not go happily, enthusiastically to their
work because of their clear vision of the value of
this work. They are not joyfully inspired to action
because of their clear picture of their desire. Most
work because they believe that if they do not
work, they will not have money, and if they do not
have money, they will be without things they
want.
When you are focused upon the negative

consequence of what will happen if you do not act,
and so you act to circumvent the negative
consequence, YOU DO NOT CIRCUMVENT THE
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE BUT ADD POWER UNTO
IT. IT IS LAW.
You cannot have a happy ending to an unhappy
journey. And you can not have a happy journey
when your motivation has been inspired from your
attention to a negative consequence.
The key point, here, is this: ACTION IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR BUT
ATINYFRACTIONOFYOURCREATIVEEFFORT. The
way you feel is primarily responsible for what you
are getting and what you are creating and, indeed,
what you are living.
So many find themselves in a state of futility

because they just cannot act enough to make the
difference. They try, they struggle, they
persevere, but things do not improve. And the
reason things do not improve is because the very
basis of their creative attraction Is not coming
from their action, it is coming from the way they
feel as they act.
Exercise
Before Bed
When you fear or guard against sickness, or

monsters, or that which you do not want, your
Inner Being does not participate with you, because
your Inner Being understands that attention to a
subject Is an invitation to it. Your Inner Being
literally basks in a place of Well-being, and those
guarded, frightened thoughts are absolutely alien
to your Inner Being.
As you put yourself into your bed each night,
acknowledge the existence of your Inner Being,
and your connection to it, and lie in your bed for a
few minutes before slumbering, and bask in the
spirit of your own Well-being. Your Inner Being will
literally flood you with pure, positive, powerful
Energy. Set forth your intention to allow the
complete refreshment of your physical apparatus,
knowing that your Inner Being will lovingly and
intricately align the Energies of your physical body.
And set forth the intention to awaken refreshed,
and happy.
When you awaken in the morning, acknowledge

that you have just reemerged hack into the
physical, and immediately set forth the clear
intent: "Today, it is my dominant intent to look for
that which makes me feel good. " For as you feel
good, you are in the place of positive attraction.
As you feel good, you are in perfect alignment with
your broader perspective, and greater intent. As
you feel good, only that which you consider to he
good, can come unto you.
As you set forth the intent to look for reasons to

feel good, you begin to pull upon that positive
rope, and one idea and then another will come to
you. As old habits of thought creep in, or as you
automatically pull on some old negative ropes, you
will recognize more quickly what you are doing,
and you can quickly release those ropes, looking
again for a reason to feel good, until, eventually,
the balance of thought within you will be
predominantly positive, and your connection with
your magnificent Inner Being will be strong and
clear.
Exercise
Segment Intending
(Answering someone's question) You have an old

habit of always saying "yes." You have an old habit
of saying "yes," even to your own detriment. And
you also have a habit of seeking approval from
others. And so you have pretty well got both of
those hindrances very well adapted into your
experience.
Here is the way you get rid of it: by Segment

Intending, by doing more deliberate intending of
what you want.
Have you ever walked through a busy shopping

center, or an airport or any place where there is a
crowd of people, and you're undecided where
you're going? You're just sort of waltzing through.
Do you notice how many people get in your way
and how they bump into you? You are buffeted
about. But take the same situation, but where you
are moving with purpose, do you not notice that
they get out of your way? As you are in the flow of
things, it is as if you have the whole place to
yourself. You find yourself really enjoying the
challenge of your agility. You are understanding?
Well, that is what Segment Intending will do for

you, if you will stop, anytime you realize you are
going into a new segment - which simply means a
block of time when your intentions are different - if
you will stop and say.. "What am I wanting to feel
in this segment? What am I wanting to have?
What am I wanting to do?" It will come forth to
you, very quickly, and then you will not be swept
up by the influence of someone else's intentions. If
you're not deliberate, and they are, they'll over
power you every time. It is Law. It is momentum.
You are getting the point?
Good. This powerful Energy that comes forth from

Non-physical is there for all of you. And the way
that you utilize it affects your experience.
When what you want and what you expect are all
going in the same direction, you are so powerful
that nobody can dissuade you. Nobody that is out
of harmony. And that is not a bad thing, for what
happens is, you begin attracting those who are in
harmony.
Exercise
Morning Process
You are in a much better place than you know,

because never are you at a place of greater
creation than when you are in intense emotion.
And you have been at a very high emotional pitch.
And so, we say, you have accomplished your
pivoting as you have been here tonight.
Do not judge the way any of you feel, right now.

You are tired. We have been talking too long, and
you are ready to seek your refreshment. But it is
our promise to you that as you awaken in the
morning, you will awaken with greater clarity than
you have had in a very long time.
And if you will begin your day with this process:

Take three pieces of paper, set a timer for 15
minutes, write at the top of the first sheet: To Be.
And write for one minute, only one minute, how
you are wanting to feel, "I want to feel joyful. I
want to feel free. I want to feel inspired. I want to
feel prosperous. I want to feel ... whatever." One
minute only. Then go to the second sheet and for
seven or eight minutes write: To Have. "I am
wanting to have this relationship. I am wanting to
have this house. I'm wanting to have these shoes,
this car ... whatever, this body." It doesn't matter.
Tangible or not tangible, write what are you
wanting to have. And then, on the third sheet,
these things, for seven or eight minutes: What I
Will Do Today. Once you have utilized this process
for twenty or thirty, or so, days, you will discover
that what is in your doing will harmonize with your
state of being.
THIS IS THE PROCESS WHERE YOU GET IN

HARMONY WITH YOU, AND THAT IS THE ONLY
THING THAT MATTERS.
You receive thought from the Universe. You

receive thought from those who surround you. You
receive thought from your physical friends. You
receive thought from your Non-physical friends.
But the way that you respond to it by the way you
feel tells you whether it is valuable or not

Chapter 1 - The Right To Be Rich
Chapter 2 - There Is A Science of Getting Rich
Chapter 3 - Is Opportunity Monopolized?
"Everything you see on earth is made from one original substance, out of which all
things proceed. New Forms are constantly being made, and older ones are dissolving;
but all are shapes assumed by One Thing.
There is no limit to the supply of Formless Stuff, or Original Substance. The universe is
made out of it; but it was not all used in making the universe. The spaces in, through,
and between the forms of the visible universe are permeated and filled with the Original
Substance; with the formless Stuff; with the raw material of all things. Ten thousand
times as much as has been made might still be made, and even then we should not have
exhausted the supply of universal raw material."
Chapter 4 - The First Principle in The Science of Getting Rich

"In creating, the Formless seems to move according to the lines of motion it has
established; the thought of an oak tree does not cause the instant formation of a full-
grown tree, but it does start in motion the forces which will produce the tree, along
established lines of growth."
"And if there were no existing channels through which the creative energy could work,
then the house would be formed directly from primal substance, without waiting for the
slow processes of the organic and inorganic world."
"And so far man has confined his efforts wholly to the work of his hands; he has applied
manual labor to the world of forms, seeking to change or modify those already existing.
He has never thought of trying to cause the creation of new forms by impressing his
thoughts upon Formless Substance."
"There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and
consecutive thought; it is the hardest work in the world. This is especially true when
truth is contrary to appearances."
"To look upon the appearances of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your own
mind, unless you hold to the truth that there is no poverty; there is only abundance.
To think health when surrounded by the appearances of disease, or to think riches when
in the midst of appearances of poverty, requires power; but he who acquires this power
becomes a MASTER MIND. He can conquer fate; he can have what he wants."
Chapter 5 - Increasing Life

"It is essential, however that your purpose should harmonize with the purpose that is in
All.
You must want real life, not mere pleasure of sensual gratification. Life is the
performance of function; and the individual really lives only when he performs every
function, physical, mental, and spiritual, of which he is capable, without excess in any."
"You want to get rich in order that you may eat, drink, and be merry when it is time to
do these things; in order that you may surround yourself with beautiful things, see
distant lands, feed your mind, and develop your intellect; in order that you may love
men and do kind things, and be able to play a good part in helping the world to find
truth."
"You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for
what is already created."
"I am aware that there are men who get a vast amount of money by proceeding in direct
opposition to the statements in the paragraph above, and may add a word of explanation
here. Men of the plutocratic type, who become very rich, do so sometimes purely by
their extraordinary ability on the plane of competition; and sometimes they
unconsciously relate themselves to Substance in its great purposes and movements for
the general racial upbuilding through industrial evolution."
"Riches secured on the competitive plane are never satisfactory and permanent; they are
yours to-day, and another's tomorrow. Remember, if you are to become rich in a
scientific and certain way, you must rise entirely out of the competitive thought."
"Never look at the visible supply; look always at the limitless riches in Formless
Substance, and KNOW that they are coming to you as fast as you can receive and use
them.Nobody, by cornering the visible supply, can prevent you from getting what is
yours."
Chapter 6 - How Riches Come to You

"God, the One Substance, is trying to live and do and enjoy things through humanity. He
is saying "I want hands to build wonderful structures, to play divine harmonies, to paint
glorious pictures; I want feet to run my errands, eyes to see my beauties, tongues to tell
mighty truths and to sing marvelous songs," and so on."
"God wants those who can play music to have pianos and every other instrument, and to
have the means to cultivate their talents to the fullest extent; He wants those who can
appreciate beauty to be able to surround themselves with beautiful things; He wants
those who can discern truth to have every opportunity to travel and observe; He wants
those who can appreciate dress to be beautifully clothed, and those who can appreciate
good food to be luxuriously fed."
Chapter 7 - Gratitude
"The whole process of mental adjustment and atonement can be summed up in one
word, gratitude.
First, you believe that there is one Intelligent Substance, from which all things proceed;
second, you believe that this Substance gives you everything you desire; and third, you
relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude.
Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their
lack of gratitude. Having received one gift from God, they cut the wires which connect
them with Him by failing to make acknowledgment."
"But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the
future. Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding
things as they are."
"Also, faith is born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things, and
expectation becomes faith."
"It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that
comes to you; and to give thanks continuously."
Chapter 8 - Thinking in the Certain Way

"You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot
transmit an idea unless you have it yourself."
"It is not enough that you should have a general desire for wealth "to do good with";
everybody has that desire.
It is not enough that you should have a wish to travel, see things, live more, etc.
Everybody has those desires also. If you were going to send a wireless message to a
friend, you would not send the letters of the alphabet in their order, and let him
construct the message for himself; nor would you take words at random from the
dictionary. You would send a coherent sentence; one which meant something."
"That clear mental picture you must have continually in mind, as the sailor has in mind
the port toward which he is sailing the ship; you must keep your face toward it all the
time. You must no more lose sight of it than the steersman loses sight of the compass."
"...all you need is to know what you want, and to want it badly enough so that it will stay
in your thoughts."
"It is the things you do not really care about which require effort to fix your attention
upon them."
"The more clear and definite you make your picture then, and the more you dwell upon
it, bringing out all its delightful details, the stronger your desire will be; and the stronger
your desire, the easier it will be to hold your mind fixed upon the picture of what you
want."
"Behind your clear vision must be the purpose to realize it; to bring it out in tangible
expression."
"Live in the new house, mentally, until it takes form around you physically. In the
mental realm, enter at once into full enjoyment of the things you want."
"See the things you want as if they were actually around you all the time; see yourself as
owning and using them. Make use of them in imagination just as you will use them
when they are your tangible possessions. Dwell upon your mental picture until it is clear
and distinct, and then take the Mental Attitude of Ownership toward everything in that
picture. Take possession of it, in mind, in the full faith that it is actually yours. Hold to
this mental ownership; do not waiver for an instant in the faith that it is real."
"The man who can sincerely thank God for the things which as yet he owns only in
imagination, has real faith."
"The whole matter turns on receiving, once you have clearly formed your vision. When
you have formed it, it is well to make an oral statement, addressing the Supreme in
reverent prayer; and from that moment you must, in mind, receive what you ask for.
Live in the new house; wear the fine clothes; ride in the automobile; go on the journey,
and confidently plan for greater journeys. Think and speak of all the things you have
asked for in terms of actual present ownership. Imagine an environment, and a financial
condition exactly as you want them, and live all the time in that imaginary environment
and financial condition."
Chapter 9 - How to Use the Will

"Use your mind to form a mental image of what you want, and to hold that vision with
faith and purpose; and use your will to keep your mind working in the Right Way.
The more steady and continuous your faith and purpose, the more rapidly you will get
rich, because you will make only POSITIVE impressions upon Substance; and you will
not neutralize or offset them by negative impressions."
"Doubt or unbelief is as certain to start a movement away from you as faith and purpose
are to start one toward you. It is by not understanding this that most people who try to
make use of "mental science" in getting rich make their failure. Every hour and moment
you spend in giving heed to doubts and fears, every hour you spend in worry, every hour
in which your soul is possessed by unbelief, sets a current away from you in the whole
domain of intelligent Substance."
"Since belief is all important, it behooves you to guard your thoughts; and as your beliefs
will be shaped to a very great extent by the things you observe and think about, it is
important that you should command your attention."
Chapter 10 - Further Use of the Will

Chapter 11 - Acting in the Certain Way
"Thinking in a Certain Way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought
alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many
otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck--the failure to connect
thought with personal action."
"If you act in the present with your mind on the future, your present action will be with a
divided mind, and will not be effective.
Put your whole mind into present action."
"Hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment, but act
upon your present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength, and with
all your mind."
Chapter 12 - Efficient Action

"In the animal world, evolution is caused by excess of life. When an organism has more
life than can be expressed in the functions of its own plane, it develops the organs of a
higher plane, and a new species is originated.
There never would have been new species had there not been organisms which more
than filled their places. The law is exactly the same for you; your getting rich depends
upon your applying this principle to your own affairs."
"In saying that you must hold your vision while you are doing each act, however trivial
or commonplace, I do not mean to say that it is necessary at all times to see the vision
distinctly to its smallest details. It should be the work of your leisure hours to use your
imagination on the details of your vision, and to contemplate them until they are firmly
fixed upon memory."
Chapter 13 - Getting into the Right Business

"A day or two spent in contemplating the vision of what you want, and in earnest
thanksgiving that you are getting it, will bring your mind into such close relationship
with the Supreme that you will make no mistake when you do act.
There is a mind which knows all there is to know; and you can come into close unity
with this mind by faith and the purpose to advance in life, if you have deep gratitude."
Chapter 14 - The Impression of Increase

"Every living thing is under this necessity for continuous advancement; where increase
of life ceases, dissolution and death set in at once."
"And because it is the deepest instinct of their natures, all men and women are attracted
to him who can give them more of the means of life."
"Nothing is so pleasant to the unformed or partially developed mind as the exercise of

power or dominion over others. The desire to rule for selfish gratification has been the
curse of the world."
"Today, the main motive in the business and industrial world is the same; men Marshal
their armies of dollars, and lay waste the lives and hearts of millions in the same mad
scramble for power over others."
Chapter 15 - The Advancing Man

"The man who is certain to advance is the one who is too big for his place, and who has a
clear concept of what he wants to be; who knows that he can become what he wants to
be and who is determined to BE what he wants to be."
Chapter 16 - Some Cautions, and Concluding Observations
Chapter 17 - Summary of the Science of Getting Rich (in it's entirety)
"THERE is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original
state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless
substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; otherwise
he cannot be in harmony with the Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and
never competitive in spirit.
Man may come into full harmony with the Formless Substance by entertaining a lively
and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the mind
of man with the intelligence of Substance, so that man's thoughts are received by the
Formless. Man can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the
Formless Intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.
Man must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do,
or to become; and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply
grateful to the Supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The man who wishes to
get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his Vision, and in earnest
thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too much stress cannot be laid on the
importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering
faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the
Formless, and the creative forces set in motion.
The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of
the industrial and social order. All that is included in his mental image will surely be
brought to the man who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not
waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and
commerce.
In order to receive his own when it shall come to him, man must be active; and this
activity can only consist in more than filling his present place. He must keep in mind the
Purpose to get rich through the realization of his mental image. And he must do, every
day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner. He
must give to every man a use value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each
transaction makes for more life; and he must so hold the Advancing Thought that the
impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes in contact.
The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get rich; and
the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the
fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.
