The New Psychology #614202

When any object or purpose is clearly held in thought, its precipitation, in tangible and visible form, is merely a question of time. The vision always precedes and itself deter‐ mines the realization. — Lillian Whiting

The man with the money consciousness is constantly attracting money. The man with the poverty consciousness is constantly attracting poverty. Both fulfill the exact conditions — by thought, word, and deed — that make the path for the thing of which they are conscious, come to them. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Job said, "The thing I greatly feared has come upon me." In modern psychological language, it might better have been stated this way: "The thing I was greatly conscious of came upon me." Consciousness, or thought and faith, are mental wires by which the thing we are conscious of finds its way to us. The family that expects burglars is the family that attracts burglars. The per‐ son who has no fear — or consciousness of burglars entering his home — is never molested. The highwayman never attacks the absolutely fearless man or person. There is something that forbids him. The man with a fearful conscious‐ ness invites attack. Just as the timid, fearful dog in the street is instinctively the target for all other dogs to attack. Man is the architect of his own fortune. He can make or unmake himself. He can be weak or strong, rich or poor, according to the way he manipulates his consciousness and develops his inherent ability. The requires will power, deter‐ mination, self-improvement through work, activity, and study. He must learn to clothe his mind with beautiful garments of strength and power. He must be willing to spend as much money, time, and patience to bring about this mental garment as he would in clothing his body, beautifully and efficiently. By fulfill‐ ing the law of faith and proper adjustment in the business world, nothing is im‐ possible. You have an inheritance of worth that is endless. While it is already given to you, it will only be possessed by you in so far as you make paths for it to come to you by the fulfillment of natural, mental, and Spiritual laws.
