FAITH

Visualization Of And Belief In Attainment Of Desire


Faith is the head chemist of the mind.

The emotions of faith, love, and sex are the most powerful of all the major positive emotions.

When the three are blended, they have the effect of "coloring" the vibration of thought in such a way that it instantly reaches the subconscious mind, where it is changed into its spiritual equivalent, the only form that induces a response from Infinite Intelligence.

The method by which one develops faith, where it does not already exist, is extremely difficult to describe, almost as difficult as it would be to describe the color of red to a blind man who has never seen color, and has nothing with which to compare what you describe to him.

Faith is a state of mind which you may develop at will... because it is a state of mind which develops voluntarily, through application and use...

Repetition of affirmation of orders to your subconscious mind is the only known method of voluntary development of the emotion of faith.

Perhaps the meaning may be made clearer through the following explanation as to the way men sometimes become criminals. Stated in the words of a famous criminologist,

"When men first came into contact with crime, they abhor it.

If they remain in contact with crime for a time, they become accustomed to it, and endure it.

If they remain in contact with it long enough, they finally embrace it, and become influenced by it."

This is the equivalent of saying that any impulse of thought which is repeatedly passed on to the subconscious mind is, finally, accepted and acted upon by the subconscious mind, which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent, by the most practical procedure available.

Millions of people live in poverty not because of some strange force that they have no control over is wrecking them.

They are the creators of their own "misfortunes".

I'm sure many of you would have heard this story before:

When an elephant is still a baby, it is tethered by a very thick rope to a stake firmly hammered into the ground.

It tries several times to get free, but lacks the strength to do so.

After a year, the stake and the rope are still strong enough to keep the small elephant tethered, although it continues to try, unsuccessfully, to get free.

After some time, the animal realizes that the rope is too strong and so it gives up.

When it reaches adulthood, the elephant can still remember how, for a long time, it had failed at trying to escape captivity.

At this stage, the elephant can be tethered with a slender thread tied to a broom handle, and it will not attempt to escape to freedom.

Our mind is the only thing that stands between us and success. It can either aid you or stop you. Have faith in your own abilities.

You may have grown strong enough to break the ropes before you know it.

  • Believing that you can do something is all you need to get started.


  • Do you believe in the laws of attraction which states that if you keep thinking about something, it will come to you?

  • Does having strong thoughts about becoming rich clash with any of your believes? If so, would you mind sharing your believes?
