Introduction

The introduction provides information about the book and its purpose.

Three Magic Words is a book written by U.S. Anderson in 1954.

The book aims to reveal the unlimited power that is available to individuals and how they can use it to make their lives better.

The book is not affiliated with any religion, sect or society.

Foreword

The foreword discusses the current state of humanity and the questions that people ask themselves.

This is an age of uncertainty, emotional upset, and nervous instability.

People are searching for answers to questions such as "What am I?", "Why am I here?" and "Where am I going?"

These questions are being asked by people from all walks of life, including those in psychiatric institutions, penal institutions, and homes for the insane and depraved.

Man's Spiritual Nature

This section discusses man's spiritual nature and his relationship with the universe.

Man is not just a physical body; he also has a spiritual nature.

Man is part of a mighty intelligence that controls the universe.

This intelligence is God-given and denied to no one except by themselves.

Understanding this intelligence can help individuals control their thoughts and create what they desire in life.

Three Magic Words

This section introduces the concept of three magic words that can help individuals unlock their power.

There are three magic words that can help individuals unlock their power: thought, creator, and control.

Thought is the only mover in all creation.

The Universal Subconscious Mind (or God) is the creator who creates exactly what you think.

Individuals can control their thoughts to obtain answers to problems or create what they desire in life.

Conclusion

The conclusion emphasizes the power of belief and the potential for individuals to create a better life.

All things are possible to those who believe.

It may take time, but individuals can use their power to make their lives good and great.

By spending just a few minutes each day controlling their thoughts, individuals can achieve greater hope and promise in life.

The Power of the Conscious Mind

The Conscious Mind shapes our lives and determines our destiny. It remembers its beginning and looks forward to its end. Circumstances should not shape our destiny, but we have a resource that can raise us above all circumstances.

The Lock that Bars the Door to the Infinite

Light, sound, discomfort, pain, roughness, dampness, hunger, smells—all impinge on subconscious memory.

These experiences forge the Lock that bars the door to the infinite.

Self-determination is beautiful because this infant is free wherever it is being born at this moment.

False Thought Habits

Most people lead drab and colorless lives concerned only with fear, frustration, and insecurity.

This scheme into which we have been drawn through no volition of our own seems pointless.

These thoughts are products of your Conscious Mind.

Conceptual Habits of the Conscious Mind

Conceptual habits of the Conscious Mind are the greatest bar to man's discovery of himself.

The Same Power Brings Both Good and Evil

Everyone has experienced this power to some degree.

Yet strange to say, most people shrug it off as perhaps only a fortunate circumstance or coincidence.

It is important for you to remember every day of your life that the same power that brings you good fortune brings you bad fortune according to how you use it.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

This section discusses the power of the subconscious mind and how it is different from the conscious mind. It also talks about how psychiatry has helped us understand more about the subconscious mind.

The Mind That Never Sleeps

The subconscious mind is constantly active and has infinite capacity and power.

Psychiatrists have discovered that the memory of the subconscious mind is perfect, even for small details that were long forgotten by the conscious mind.

Patients under deep hypnosis can describe scenes and experiences that they could not have possibly known or witnessed in their current life.

Probing the Subconscious

Psychiatry has been successful in restoring mental health by probing emotional "sore spots" in a patient's subconscious and exposing them to their conscious mind.

However, sometimes this process can lead to disaster if serious "rejections" are elicited from the subconscious, causing hysteria or depression.

Despite these risks, probing the subconscious has unearthed a vast store of previously unknown material.

The Master and The Servant

The tiny conscious mind is actually the master of our thoughts because it controls what we tell our subconscious to do.

Our prompters set into our subconscious by our conscious minds can cause negative outcomes such as sickness, poverty, or failure.

Pain Rejection

No one consciously wants negative things like sickness or poverty but they may be victims of prompters set into their subconscious by their own conscious minds.

The Subconscious Mind

This section discusses the role of the subconscious mind in shaping our beliefs and behaviors. It explains how past experiences can create "prompters" that influence our thoughts and actions, often without us realizing it.

The Making of a Dictator or a Murderer

Fred Smith's aggressive attitude towards life is due to his first searching for love from his mother meeting with complete rejection.

As he grows older, he forgets that he ever desired love from his mother at all. He takes pride in the fact that he needs nobody and nothing to make him complete, and he runs roughshod over people to attain his ends.

Fred Smith hates life because his first reaching for life was rejected. He is simply rejecting that which first rejected him. Consciously, he has long forgotten the cause, but the memory of the Subconscious Mind is perfect. The pain remembrance or Prompter buried there will not let him rest.

Prompters in the Subconscious Mind

Psychiatrists run down prompters in the subconscious mind by exposing them to patients. For example, Miss B comes to a psychiatrist complaining about recurrent headaches while cooking on her gas stove due to a fear of fire caused by an explosion when she was two years old.

Prompters can be trivial things such as burying an infant-heard phrase like "There's never enough to go around," leading to poverty despite efforts made towards financial stability.

A lonely person may have prompters repelling love such as "Nobody ever did anything for me," "You can't trust anyone," or "People are just out to get what they can out of you."

Self-Mastery

Prompters can be removed by understanding the laws and dynamics of life. The conscious mind controls the subconscious mind, which is all-powerful.

Unlocking the Power of the Mind

In this section, the speaker introduces the concept of unlocking the power of the mind by eradicating all notions related to one's circumstances and concentrating on one's spirit within. The Universal Mind is introduced as a medium that responds only to thought and conviction.

The Real You

The real you is timeless, formless, and built from all glory and magnificence that ever was.

You are pure spirit cast into human mold as a manifestation of divine intelligence.

There is only one intelligence, one mind in all creation, and everyone is a part of it.

The Universal Mind

The Universal Mind flows through everyone and knows no limitation or lack.

Its great dominant characteristic is creativeness. It creates exactly what the mind of each individual person thinks into it.

Thought plus Conviction equals Manifestation. There is manifested in your experience exactly that which you are convinced of!

Subconscious Prompters

Our subconscious prompters can make automatons out of free persons.

Hypnotism illustrates perfectly how our subconscious mind operates entirely by suggestion.

If our subconscious prompters believe success to be impossible, then our emotional thought will be aimed at failure.

Mighty Subconscious Mind

Through post-hypnotic suggestion, patients act on every suggestion as if it were truth for they have given control over their subconscious minds to hypnotists.

This mighty Subconscious Mind at work!

The Power of Positive Prompters

In this section, the speaker discusses how installing positive prompters in the subconscious mind can override negative prompters and lead to happiness and success.

Installing Positive Prompters

Instead of searching for negative prompters causing sickness or other issues, it is best to install a positive prompter that says it is natural to be well and healthy.

Once a positive prompter is installed in the subconscious, negative "Sick Prompter" will disappear.

Understanding the origination of all negative circumstances in life can aid in therapy.

Intuition and Faith

This section covers two additional compartments of the human mind: intuition and faith.

Intuition

Intuition is a compartment of the human mind that allows individuals to know the correct answer to a problem without being versed in its parts.

Not all persons are intuitively "awakened," but where such an awakening exists, reason and memory have flouted all measurement.

Faith

Faith is another compartment of the human mind that has only recently achieved widespread recognition despite ancient philosophers proclaiming it as most important.

Through revelation, intuition, enlightenment, attunement with the infinite, Jesus knew as perhaps no one before or after him of the unlimited power of faith.

Miracles happen every day through faith. It was not a rag but faith that caused warts to disappear.

The Conscious and Subconscious Mind

In this section, the speaker discusses the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind. They explain that faith is what moves mountains and works miracles, and it is the conscious mind acting on the subconscious mind. The human mind consists of memory, reason, imagination, intuition, and faith.

Intuition and Faith

Intuition and faith are essential for overcoming limitations.

Thought is a great creator that can be used to achieve anything when negative prompters in the mind are removed.

Complete recognition of spiritual laws and nature is necessary for full contact with infinite power.

Journey Toward God

This section discusses man's essence as pure spirit, a part of God. Man's earthly existence is temporary, but his spirit undergoes isolation and personal responsibility. Memories of insecurity, isolation, frustration are unbearable to his conscious mind causing him to reject them into his subconscious memory where they act as prompters of limitation.

I Am Will Not Be Denied

Inside every person there exists a still small voice that knows their true spiritual existence.

Statements made in this chapter may not be immediately accepted because hidden truths require struggle to learn.

These chapters are demonstrations with experiments to conduct that will convince beyond doubt that there is a power far greater than oneself which can make life happy.

Result of Self-Knowingness

This section explains how one's body is a result of self-knowingness. One's form or body results from knowing oneself or being aware of oneself.

Spirit Clothed in Flesh

One's body is a result of measurement and established self-knowledge.

The spirit clothed itself with a gown of flesh.

The Perfection of Spirit and Body

In this section, the speaker discusses how illness and disease are the result of the misuse of spiritual law and lack of spiritual understanding. The body that expresses spirit must be perfect.

Understanding Yourself as Spirit

Your body is a manifestation of your spirit, a changing form made from eternal substance.

It is difficult to analyze and probe the mystery of spirit with the conscious mind.

Man's words and conceptions are hardly adequate in tackling the realms of spirit.

The Challenge of Infinite Spiritual Power

Science has proven that every physical law of the universe has a corresponding spiritual law.

Despite conceptual inadequacies, science has shown us that anything in the way of bridging space, time, and form is not impossible to the mind or spirit of man.

The Invisible Plane

There is a great medium of mind and intelligence that surrounds every human being.

This intelligence is all-intelligence and knows and does everything.

The invisible plane offers the greatest challenge and hope for all mankind.

The Mystery Of Life

In this section, we learn about how doctors view life on a strictly material plane. We also learn about an illiterate woman who was able to speak English despite never having learned it before.

Materialism vs. Thought

A doctor once said "I have cut many bodies open but I have never found a soul."

To which it was answered "Undoubtedly true, but while you were there did you ever find a thought?"

An Illiterate Woman's Gift

A young woman born in America who could not read or write spoke only English when through the front door came a long-time friend of her father's who had just arrived.

The Power of Thought

This section discusses the power of thought and how it can be used to achieve physical occurrences.

The Power of Thought

A woman was able to reveal a tragedy to a gentleman she had never met before by circumventing the barriers of space, time, and language.

Another woman was able to activate a light switch through nothing but thought in front of a group of highly trained scientific minds.

Groups are organizing throughout the world aiming at creating peace through thought power which is essentially prayer.

Dr. Ernest Holmes has authored books on the healing power of positive beliefs and maintains a spiritual treatment clinic that makes miracles an everyday occurrence.

Unlocking Self-realization

This section discusses how we limit ourselves with our thoughts and how we can unlock self-realization.

Limitations Imposed Upon Ourselves

We impose limitations upon ourselves by looking around us at the material world, making judgments about things and people, and then imposing those judgments upon ourselves.

By looking outward, we have achieved what we believe to be knowledge about ourselves, but this is falsity of the highest degree.

An average person living in the United States would answer "who are you?" with either their name or job or both because they have gained an impression of their own success from comparing themselves with those around them rather than looking within themselves.

Creativeness makes each man an individual counterpart of God while competition attempts to mold everyone into the same mold.

Unlocking Self-realization

We must dissipate our locked-in viewpoint and unlock self-realization.

We are manifested here on this earth in the form we now occupy to do work that only we can do, no matter how humble our job may seem.

The universe has sired no other person like us, and only we can draw upon the infinite for those divine powers that are ours.

The Power of the Universal Creative Mind

In this section, the speaker discusses how everything in life changes except for our association with the infinite. He explains that recognizing and using this truth will provide security and success in life.

Key Points:

The Universal Creative Mind is a power greater than ourselves that we can use to make our lives successful and happy.

All of us live and move in the great intelligence that makes up the universe and world.

Our conscious desires do not always manifest themselves because we are not projecting our thoughts with conviction, or there are Prompters in the Subconscious Mind which cause our thinking to go astray.

Diligent daily application of principles can dissipate all doubt, develop powers of faith and intuition, leading to a flash inside you where suddenly all the world will assume a shape divinely inspired for you alone.

Principal Points Covered

This section covers principal points covered in chapter one.

Key Points:

There is a power greater than ourselves which we can use to make our lives vibrant, successful, and happy.

The Universal Creative Mind is responsive to thought; it creates what is projected into it.

Prompters in the Subconscious Mind make up the Lock which bars us from proper use of infinite power. These Prompters are primarily pain experiences buried in subconsciousness long forgotten.

Understanding, study, and application of great laws of spirit can remove these Prompters.

The High Adventure

This section discusses the importance of understanding a lock before using the key and understanding the key before using it to open the lock.

Key Points:

In this chapter, you have encountered basic elements of the Lock that keeps you from enjoying but a small fraction of your God-like given power.

Certain elements of the Key to the Lock have been discussed in this chapter.

Throughout subsequent chapters, we will undertake study of Hypnotism, Thought Transference, and Clairvoyance and show how they are all products of vast power of Universal Subconscious Mind.

Devote at least ten minutes daily to practice what you have learned for enlightenment.

Achieving Your Desires Through Mental Law

This section discusses how to achieve your desires through the proper use of mental law.

The Power of Affirmation

To manifest your desires, you must affirm more than you deny.

Commit the meditation to memory or carry it with you and say it over to yourself when negative circumstances arise.

Speaking the words of affirmation will restore peace and confidence.

The Law Always Works

You cannot quit using the law as a human soul. You are always using it, whether for good or evil.

The law must bring you what you desire, whether good or evil.

Meditation and Manifestation

Speaking with conviction and maintaining that conviction with faith is the complete chain of manifestation from thought to thing.

During meditation periods, be alone in a quiet place undisturbed by other voices or movements.

Let go of everything except self during meditation. When calm and peaceful, speak the meditation aloud.

The Illusion of Evil

In this section, the speaker reflects on his experience during World War II and how it led him to question the concept of good and evil. He argues that evil is a product of ego-absorption and partial knowledge, and that God cannot be responsible for creating evil.

Witnessing Death in War

The speaker witnessed his first violent death during World War II when a Japanese attacker was killed by a shell.

The speaker initially thought this was an evil act, but realized that it was only his limited ego's viewpoint that colored it as such.

The speaker questions whether the killing was truly good or evil, as different people may have different perspectives on the matter.

Understanding Evil

The speaker gains new insight into the nature of evil while standing on the deck of a ship at night.

He realizes that evil is a product of partial knowledge and ego-absorption.

To God, who possesses all knowledge, there is no such thing as evil.

Rejection of Traditional Religious Views

The speaker rejects traditional religious views that posit a loving God who created both good and evil.

He argues that if God is truly loving, then he could not have created evil or condemned people to hell.

Instead, he believes that man alone creates these negative experiences in life through their beliefs.

Understanding God

The speaker argues that God is all-knowing and does not possess moral attributes.

He believes that man has created the concept of evil, disease, poverty, hell, and the devil in their own lives on earth.

Overall, the speaker reflects on his experience during World War II and how it led him to question traditional views of good and evil. He argues that these concepts are products of ego-absorption and partial knowledge, and that God cannot be responsible for creating them. Instead, he believes that man alone creates negative experiences in life through their beliefs.

The Power of Thought

In this section, the speaker discusses how human beings create right and wrong, good and evil through their own thoughts. He explains that the act of creation is accomplished by the Conscious Mind acting on the Subconscious Mind.

Creation Through Thought

Morally conscious human beings know right and wrong, good and evil, therefore they create them.

Disease and suffering are created by man alone.

A seed sown in the garden of the mind shall reap the blossom thereof.

The Subconscious Mind knows only to create reality from the seed of thought.

Freedom - The Essence of Mankind

God is the Subconscious Mind and does not recognize the difference between good and evil.

Man is free to obtain what he perceives as evil as well as good; otherwise, it would not be complete freedom.

The very essence of man's existence is a determination of what constitutes good and what constitutes evil.

Morality and Spiritual Law

Success, achievement, health, vigor are not directly related to morality or righteousness.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

In this section, the speaker discusses how success is a result of right thinking and how the subconscious mind can create either success or failure based on the seeds planted in it.

The Subconscious Mind

Success is not a result of hard work but rather right thinking.

The subconscious mind can develop either failure, disease, loneliness or unhappiness based on the seed planted in it.

There is only one Universal Mind that we all use to create our physical reality with each thought that is sped with complete belief.

The Universal Subconscious Mind tends to create for your neighbor what you think into it for him.

Thought Transference and Mental Healing

Thought transference, mental healing, intuition and insight are all phenomena that suggest we exist in the same ether or intelligence or mind.

Even Voodoo rites are not altogether superstition as they demonstrate how faith can cause physical reality to manifest.

Belief and Faith

Thought plus faith creates physical reality regardless of whether it's good or evil.

Believing you will fail will make you fail while believing you will succeed will make you succeed.

Evil could not be anything other than the result of man's belief.

Dispelling Notions of Evil

Evil does not exist as a separate entity but rather an illusion created by man's belief system.

Mankind has never been able to account for the occurrence of evil which seems to follow no moral pattern.

Conclusion

The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of right thinking and belief in creating a successful life.

Right thinking and belief are essential in creating a successful life.

The Power of Thought

This section discusses the power of thought and how it affects everything in existence.

Everything is Created as a Result of Thought

Everything on earth is the result of thought, but not everything has been created by thought.

The Subconscious Mind acts on all volitional thought that is placed there.

Every person's thoughts have been indelibly recorded in this mind, which attempts to manifest all thought to the person thinking it and to all the world.

All form maintains itself as long as the thought is held. As the thought changes, so does the form.

Deformity in Newborns is Also a Result of Thought

Every newborn child is the result of thought, in form as well as substance.

Deformity in a newborn child is also the result of thought.

A great portion of our buried pain remembrances are projected into the Creative Mind unconsciously.

Thought conceptions of other persons than ourselves may show themselves in our experience.

All Life Exists Within One Mind

The Universal Subconscious Mind exists not only in man but also in every living thing.

Desire being projected into this mind results in physical reality and evolution.

Every reaching desire of conscious life is answered from an inexhaustible source without regard to suffering or good or evil, but simply in answer to conception and desire.

Change Is Progress

Deformity may seem like an injustice when viewed through self-identification, but change is progress and they both answer one immutable law.

The Subconscious Mind recognizes only conception and desire.

Understanding the Power of the Mind

In this section, the speaker discusses the power of the Universal Mind and how it relates to Jesus' teachings. The responsibility of creation is not solely on an individual but rather a greater power that responds to one's conviction.

The Power of Conviction

Jesus understood that he was not responsible for his miracles but rather a greater power within him.

The same power that responded to Jesus and restored Lazarus to life would also cause Lazarus to die if approached with the same conviction.

This power manifests both good and evil according to one's image and conviction.

Truth and Error

Good is truth while evil is error. The experience of error and selection of truth are progress towards understanding.

Evil proceeds from thought just as good does. Establishing a sentinel on our minds can guide us towards good thoughts.

Evil is illusion, dissipating easily when replaced by good.

Spiritual Knowledge

Enlightened men have existed throughout history who possess acute perception of truth, but societies have often deemed it dangerous to reveal this knowledge.

Mankind now seeks answers to human existence and spiritual freedom, standing at the threshold of such freedom today.

Understanding Truth and Sin

In this section, the speaker discusses the concept of truth and sin. He explains that truth exists in some form and can be described, while sin is simply error. Punishment is the inevitable result of error, as it is a law of cause and effect.

The Nature of Truth

Truth must always be possible to describe.

All truth exists in some form somewhere.

Reality can be described.

Sin and Punishment

Sin is simply error.

Punishment is the inevitable result of error.

Cause and effect is a law that applies to all evil.

Responsibility for Evil

Evil is created by man's thought conceptions being projected into the Universal Creative Mind or Subconscious Mind.

God cannot err; therefore, God could not possibly be responsible for evil.

Consequences of Error

In this section, the speaker discusses how good or evil thoughts will inevitably develop in one's experience. Each error carries with it its own consequences since we are dealing with a law of cause and effect.

Law of Cause and Effect

Good or evil thoughts will inevitably develop in one's experience.

The consequences of error are borne on this earth; they are not borne in a hereafter.

That which you send out returns to you in this life much sooner than you think.

Remorsefulness

Remorsefulness is a sin against yourself.

Do not allow remorse to become a prompter. Be joyful that error has disclosed truth.

Progression to Oneness with God

In this section, the speaker discusses how man progresses by a system of trial and error. Each error carries with it its own consequences, and there will be evil in the world until man completes his progress to oneness with God.

Trial and Error

Man progresses by a system of trial and error.

Every error in your life is for the purpose of revealing truth to you.

Completion of Progression

There will be evil in the world until man completes his progress to oneness with God.

You cannot live and not make mistakes, but you can suffer the consequence of each.

Making Decisions

In this section, the speaker emphasizes the importance of making clear-cut decisions and taking responsibility for their consequences. The subconscious mind is a powerful tool that can be harnessed through decisive action.

The Power of Clear-Cut Decisions

Indecision places a burden on one's shoulders that no one can bear.

A clear-cut decision leads to either truth or error, but even an error can lead to progress if it is learned from.

Those who have suffered defeats may know more truths than those who have only experienced victories.

To manifest desires into reality, one must have conviction and assurance in the law of attraction.

Consequences of Indecision

Vacillating between wanting something and not caring about it will lead to nothing happening.

The law of cause and effect holds individuals accountable for their actions, but also allows for progress through learning from mistakes.

Shame, remorse, and self-pity will only create more negative consequences if carried forward.

Taking Responsibility for One's Life

Man makes his own circumstances through the law of attraction.

Examining errors in thought and arriving at truth leads to success.

Circumstances do not make the man; rather, man makes his own circumstances through rising above them.

Erroneous Thought Conception and Moral Law

This section discusses the relationship between erroneous thought conception, evil, and circumstance. It also explores the evolution of moral and ethical laws in society.

Erroneous Thought Conception

Erroneous thought conception is the cause of evil.

Evil is a circumstance that can be created or avoided by individuals.

Moral and ethical laws are designed to preserve the welfare of society.

The evolution of moral and ethical law is consistent with spiritual laws.

Moral Law

Breaking a man-made law results in punishment from society.

The consequences of breaking a man-made law are determined by cause and effect.

The laws of the spirit work without error, creating good or evil based on an individual's thoughts.

Ethical and moral laws aim to eliminate error from society.

Prompters at Work

Individuals often recognize right from wrong but still choose to do wrong.

The devil does not exist; pain experiences rejected by the conscious mind create what people perceive as evil.

God's Love

This section discusses Jesus Christ's revelation that God is a loving entity rather than one seeking vengeance.

God's Love

Jesus Christ revealed that God is a loving entity rather than one seeking vengeance.

This was significant because mankind had previously lived in terror of a vengeful God.

The Power of Forgiveness

In this section, the speaker discusses how Jesus' teachings emphasized the importance of forgiveness and letting go of mistakes. He explains that carrying the burden of mistakes can attract negativity and hinder personal growth.

Jesus' Teachings on Forgiveness

Jesus taught that individuals should let go of their mistakes and not carry them as burdens.

His message was not about interceding between a vengeful God and sinners, but rather about forgetting past errors and focusing on positivity.

While it may be difficult to live in a world free from error, individuals need not fear the consequences of their mistakes unless they hold onto them as burdens.

Controlling Negative Prompters

This section focuses on controlling negative prompters in one's subconscious mind to prevent attracting negativity such as disease, poverty, or loneliness. The speaker emphasizes the importance of conditioning oneself for positivity through meditation.

Overcoming Negative Prompters

Individuals may have prompters in their subconscious mind that encourage negative outcomes.

To prevent these prompters from controlling one's life, individuals must condition themselves for positivity through conscious meditation on spiritual laws.

Failure to control negative prompters can prevent individuals from living a full and good life.

The Power of Words and Thoughts

This section discusses the power of words and thoughts in creating reality. The speaker explains that speaking with conviction activates a power to create desired conditions.

Speaking with Conviction

Words or thoughts are the first step in all creation, achievement, and desire.

The power of words or thoughts is such that nothing can stand against them when spoken with conviction.

The subconscious mind is a brilliant deductive reasoner that can produce logical steps for achieving desired outcomes.

You Are Never Alone

This section emphasizes the idea that individuals are never alone and should not fear future errors. The speaker explains that the power into which one projects their thoughts is the only creative force there is.

Dispelling Fear

Responsibility for one's actions does not rest entirely on oneself, as individuals cannot create themselves or anything by themselves.

Individuals need not fear future errors because they are never alone in creating reality.

The power into which one projects their thoughts is the only creative force there is, building and constructing all form and circumstance according to how one thinks.

The True Use of Spiritual Law

In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of accepting abundance and not demanding it. He explains that the power greater than oneself creates what one believes and manifests what one is prepared to accept.

Acceptance vs. Demand

One cannot demand money or force it with the idea that there is not enough to go around.

Money will be created in one's experience only if they realize and know that there is abundance all about them and they accept it.

The true use of spiritual law lies in accepting money as there is a great abundance of it about us.

The force of one's will against the Universal Mind sets up opposition instead of cooperation.

Attunement for Guidance

It is possible to achieve guidance through perfect attunement with the power greater than oneself.

Attunement or guidance cannot be achieved when consciously willing something to happen.

Answers to questions can be provided by letting go of problems and having confidence in the power greater than oneself.

Complete attunement every minute of every day can eliminate pain, lack, limitation, and disease from one's experience.

Faith vs. Expectancy

Faith must be present at least 51% of the time before manifestation occurs in one's experience.

Manifestation will come according to predominant thought.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

This section discusses the nature of the subconscious mind and its role in manifesting thoughts into reality. It also emphasizes the importance of balance between the conscious and subconscious minds.

Key Points

God is incapable of error or evil, and the single function of the subconscious mind is to manifest thoughts into form or circumstance.

Man has complete freedom of choice in the kind of thoughts he wishes to plant in his subconscious mind, and no one can assume responsibility for anything other than their own thinking.

Spiritual law always follows the law of cause and effect, while moral law is man-made. The proper use of spiritual law is acceptance and faith.

Strive for balance between your conscious and subconscious minds. Men and women of genius have a perfect balance between these two aspects, while ordinary people scarcely use their subconscious minds at all.

Work joyfully and confidently with your meditation practice, casting aside doubt, morbidity, effort, and strain. Accept, believe, know, relax - everything you desire will be provided by the universe.

Telepathy Experiment

This section provides an interesting experiment to test the power of telepathy using playing cards.

Key Points

Gather a few friends together for a telepathy session. Join hands in a circle after one member has been blindfolded.

Instruct all members to concentrate on one exposed card from a pack placed in the center of the circle. Have each blindfolded member report which card they see uppermost in their mind as soon as they have a clear picture of it.

Results won't be perfect, but this experiment will prove that there is a mind or ether in which we all live and move and have our beings, and through which we may contact each other through nothing but thought.

Dispelling Illusion or Evil

This section provides a meditation aimed at dispelling illusion or evil from your life.

Key Points

Recall circumstances in your life that you consider to be error or evil. Say to yourself that they are simply illusion and do not exist in reality.

Commence with your meditation, denying all evil and error. When your senses are deluded with the apparent circumstance of evil, turn away and lift your thoughts to the perfection, abundance, and love of the universe.

Within a month of practicing this meditation, you will see some very startling changes.

Affirmation for Complete Guidance

This section provides an affirmation for complete guidance from the Universal Subconscious Mind.

Key Points

Affirm that you are one with the Universal Mind and may rely upon it for complete guidance in all daily affairs.

Deny all evil and limitation. Lift your thoughts to the perfection, abundance, and love of the universe.

Understanding the Power of the Universal Find

In this section, the speaker discusses how our thoughts and beliefs shape our experiences. They emphasize that we cannot control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond to it.

The Law of Creation

Our thoughts create our experiences. If something negative happens, it is a result of our own thoughts.

We have the power to deny negative thoughts and focus on the good.

We should not try to will things into happening because we are not bigger than God.

Trusting in a Higher Power

In this section, the speaker emphasizes the importance of trusting in a higher power and having faith that everything will work out for our benefit.

The Power of Creation

The law of creation is bigger than us, and we cannot help our thoughts from becoming real in our experience.

We should hold steadfastly onto positive thoughts without effort or force.

We should trust in a higher power and have complete faith and confidence in its guidance.

Accepting Goodness and Rejecting Evil

In this section, the speaker discusses how accepting goodness while rejecting evil can lead to abundance and love from the universe.

Trusting in a Higher Power

By refusing to accept evil, it disappears from our lives.

By accepting good, we open ourselves up to abundance and love from the universe.

The Mystery of Mind

In this section, the speaker challenges traditional views on mind as being solely related to brain function. They argue that mind exists beyond physical matter as pure thought and conception.

Mind Beyond the Physical

Mind is often viewed objectively as brain function, but this is far from the truth.

The personal "I am" of self-consciousness has never been fully understood through scientific investigation.

Mind exists beyond physical matter as pure thought and conception.

Conscious Mind and Its Instincts

In this section, the speaker discusses how our conscious mind is a product of our five senses and its pursuit is to find pleasure instead of pain. They also discuss how our survival instinct is based on a pleasure-pain principle.

Conscious Mind

Our conscious mind exists at the level of our five senses and seeks to satisfy them with pleasurable sensations.

Our memory, reason, and imagination are all part of our conscious mind's instinct to find pleasure and avoid pain.

Survival Instinct

All conscious organisms have a life urge to survive.

This survival instinct must be based on a pleasure-pain principle because pleasure assures survival while pain warns against destruction.

Understanding Self-Existence

In this section, the speaker argues that understanding self-existence requires looking beyond physical matter and recognizing that thought is the creator of everything.

Beyond Physical Matter

Objectively stating that brain function exists does not bring us closer to understanding self-existence.

Self-existence goes beyond physical matter as pure thought and conception.

Thought as Creator

Thought is the only mover and creator of everything.

By arriving at unity where all things are one thing, we recognize that thought creates everything.

Functions of the Conscious Mind

The conscious mind is a recording, analyzing, and selective instrument for sensation. It remembers circumstances that produce pain and pleasure, analyzes experiences that may produce pain and pleasure, imagines a flight into pleasure and escape from pain. It has compartments of memory, reason, and imagination.

The Conscious Mind as an Instrument of Sensation

The conscious mind is finite, a thing of this world, a thing of the senses.

It must be destructible as the body which houses it.

Its functions are to record sensation at the level of pain and pleasure; analyze this sensation according to circumstances which caused it; file such sensation away under one of two main compartments headed "Recall about Pain" and "Recall about Pleasure."

Of itself, the conscious mind has no memory.

Subconscious Memory

Every thought of the conscious mind has been indelibly recorded in the subconscious as well as every sensory perception of the individual.

Subconscious memory contains premises, conclusions, and perceptions that exist without knowledge of the conscious mind.

These subconscious memories beyond conscious recall are neither a plus nor minus factor in any person's circumstances since they do not move the subconscious mind to creation.

Prompters

Convictions filed away by the conscious mind with express order never to be available for recall are called prompters.

They move the subconscious mind to those very things which an individual fears.

Relationship between Man and Universal Subconscious Mind

The conscious mind is an infinitesimal part of a gigantic whole, the entire power and wisdom of which are within the reach of every intelligent person.

The Eternal Substance

There is no beginning to infinity, just as there is no conclusion.

Our attempt to find a starting place for creation is simply an attempt to place ourselves in space and time at a point where our physical universe as we know it did not exist.

Conclusion

The conscious mind records sensation at the level of pain and pleasure, analyzes this sensation according to circumstances which caused it, and files such sensation away under one of two main compartments headed "Recall about Pain" and "Recall about Pleasure." Every thought of the conscious mind has been indelibly recorded in the subconscious as well as every sensory perception of the individual. Subconscious memory contains premises, conclusions, and perceptions that exist without knowledge of the conscious mind. Convictions filed away by the conscious mind with express order never to be available for recall are called prompters. They move the subconscious mind to those very things which an individual fears.

Infinity and God

In this section, the speaker discusses the concept of infinity and its relationship with God. The speaker explains that infinity is an exact conception that science has substituted for God.

Infinity as a Concept

Everything is one thing, has no beginning or end, no past or future, but only one eternal now.

Einstein's Theory of Relativity states that the speed of light represents infinity.

Few doubt the basic truth of the Theory of Relativity today.

Infinity and God

Infinity is a difficult word that covers anything beyond understanding.

Science has substituted infinity for God; both are one and everywhere.

Religion, biology, botany, chemistry, electronics, physics, philosophy are different roads leading to one common destination: Infinity or God.

The Grand Conception

All things lead to an understanding of your true self by breaking down finite bounds in thinking and undergoing expansion in power and conception.

The last chapter will reveal a metaphysical secret which is simple yet difficult to grasp.

One Power Behind the Universe

There is but one power behind the entire universe which is everywhere at all times and is the substance from which all things are made.

The same infinite intelligence pervades all life - vegetable and animal life - even every inanimate object in our world.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

In this section, the speaker discusses the nature of the subconscious mind and how it can be accessed through hypnosis.

The Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind is eternal and unified, and does not recognize time or place.

It reacts entirely by suggestion and has no volition of its own.

It rearranges matter, substance, and knowledge according to suggestion.

Hypnosis as a Tool

Hypnotism is the first concrete way in which man has been able to reveal and study the workings of the subconscious mind.

Through hypnotism, we are able to temporarily put the conscious mind out of the way and deal directly with the infinite intelligence in every person.

Limitations of Hypnosis

Hypnosis is still shrouded in superstition and ill-repute due to misunderstanding and malpractice.

While hypnosis can accomplish amazing things such as curing disease or anesthetizing the body, it is not yet widely used.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

In this section, the speaker discusses the power of the subconscious mind and how it can manifest success from failure, health from disease, prosperity from poverty, friendship and love from loneliness and isolation.

The Limitless Potential of the Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind has limitless potential to create change in a person's life.

With proper suggestion, the subconscious mind can manifest success from failure, health from disease, prosperity from poverty, friendship and love from loneliness and isolation.

Hypnotism Techniques

Hypnotism techniques have revealed that there is an infinite creative power in man's mind that responds entirely to suggestion.

However, current hypnotism techniques are insufficient as only about one out of five people can be hypnotized.

A hypnotic suggestion once planted in the subconscious will eventually dissipate itself if it is not renewed.

Overcoming Conditioned Responses

A new conditioned response prompting a person to be well must be watered and tended in order for it to grow.

The old seed or Prompter which is making a person sick must be overcome and disintegrated.

Techniques of Hypnosis

A perfect stranger can tell your subconscious when you are under hypnosis that you have no feeling in your arm and forthwith you have no feeling in your arm.

You are not able to accomplish this cessation of feeling because you think as well as speak.

There is positively no other explanation for the fact that the hypnotist can accomplish what you can't.

The Conscious Mind and Subconscious Mind

The very primary fact that the hypnotist must put your conscious mind out of the way is all the proof we need.

The subconscious mind seizes on the suggestion of the hypnotist and attempts to turn it into truth.

Repetition is Essential

Repetition is essential in hypnosis techniques, as it incites a tiredness in the eye muscles of the subject and thus promotes a sleepy feeling.

Hypnotic Sleep

In this section, the speaker discusses how to induce deep hypnotic sleep in a patient and how it can be used to give suggestions of health and prosperity to the subconscious mind.

Inducing Deep Hypnotic Sleep

The hypnotist talks about how tired the patient is and how delightful it is to sleep soundly.

Once the subject is in a state of deep sleep, the hypnotist may simply leave him there for a while.

The deepest sleep possible on the part of the subject is what the hypnotist strives for.

Suggestions to Subconscious Mind

Suggestions of health, prosperity, etc., can be given to the subconscious mind once deep hypnotic sleep has been induced in the patient.

These new conditions may revert to their former states if hypnotic suggestion is not persisted in.

Thought Transference and Intuition

In this section, the speaker discusses thought transference and intuition as tools that help us understand how we can grasp universal law through our mental power.

Thought Transference

Thought transference is that phenomenon whereby one person may grasp another person's thought without any apparent means of communication.

Separating subjects by miles, continents, and oceans has made no difference in the percentage of successes against failures.

The human mind does not grasp thought transference perfectly because Conscious Mind has imperfect contact with Universal Subconscious Mind.

Intuition

Intuition enables a person to "contact" certain aspects of Subconscious Mind with ease.

Mathematical and musical prodigies are similarly intuitive.

Intuitively, the mathematical prodigy is in contact with the Subconscious Mind, and he sees immediately, with the posing of the problem, exactly what the answer is.

The Power of the Universal Subconscious Mind

In this section, Miss St. John discusses the power of creation that flows through each of us and how every great artist and engineer must have some contact with the Universal Subconscious Mind.

Contacting the Universal Subconscious Mind

Miss St. John believes that every great artist and engineer must have some contact with the Universal Subconscious Mind.

The characteristics of this great mind become apparent under deep hypnosis.

The success of thought transference is increased many times under hypnosis.

Reasoning Methods

Science knows two main classifications for reasoning methods: inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.

Inductive reasoning means to reason from the particular to the general while deductive reasoning means to reason from a general law to specific circumstances where it is involved.

Man knows circumstance and seeks the law while the Universal Subconscious Mind knows the law and seeks circumstance.

The Power of Suggestion

The Universal Subconscious Mind reasons only deductively because it already knows all law!

This characteristic of the Subconscious Mind, that it reasons only deductively, is an indisputable proof that it is God in man, the ultimate or absolute of all creation.

This mind responds entirely to suggestion. It attempts to create in form and circumstance that which Conscious Mind suggests to it.

Hypnosis as an Example

A young man was cured of "Elephant Hide" through hypnosis by simply saying "Your left arm is clearing up."

The young man himself could not say, "My left arm is clearing up," and have any healing take place at all because he was in complete rapport with himself.

The Universal Subconscious Mind does not direct man as an automaton, visit disaster and suffering upon him, or govern his life. It is the servant of man and does exactly what man tells it to do.

Conclusion

In this transcript, Miss St. John discusses the power of the Universal Subconscious Mind and how it responds entirely to suggestion. She also provides examples of hypnosis as a way to illustrate how this mind works.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

In this section, the speaker discusses the power of the subconscious mind and how it can be used to achieve our desires.

Using Hypnotism as an Experiment

Hypnotism is only one small facet of the study of the Universal Mind.

It should be regarded as an experiment rather than a solution to all problems.

The principal use of hypnotism is to show that the Universal Subconscious Mind responds to suggestion alone.

Meditation Affirms Suggestion

Meditation is our primary tool in attaining all our desires.

In meditation, we affirm certain suggestions to the Subconscious Mind with faith and conviction so that they will be acted upon by infinite intelligence.

Our percentage of success will be low at first because even as we affirm, we deny. Negative doubts ingrained in our thinking over years tend to project themselves into the subconscious and negate all affirmation.

Solving Your Own Problems

We must arrive at an understanding of mighty forces that we are part of this minute and forevermore.

Only by solving your own problem, only by attaining control and understanding your own power will you be truly master of your life.

Don't seek solutions through hypnotism unless your problem is so acute and time-sensitive that no other procedure can help you.

Ultimate Reality

Our Conscious Minds tend to convince us about final reality through sheer variety and exactness with which it performs classifications on everything it comes in contact with for survival purposes.

Physical circumstance originates on the plane of thought.

Each person will stand individual sentinel against all disease and emotional suffering, and they will disappear from our world.

I apologize, but I cannot see any transcript or video to summarize. Please provide me with the transcript or video so that I can create a comprehensive and informative markdown file for you.

Understanding the Power of the Mind

This section discusses the different types of reasoning and how they relate to the conscious and subconscious mind. It also touches on hypnotism, meditation, thought transference, intuition, and the power of the subconscious mind.

Types of Reasoning

Inductive reasoning attempts to arrive at law through observing particular circumstance and is primarily done by the Conscious Mind of man.

Deductive reasoning attempts to arrive at particular circumstance through knowledge of law and is always done by the Subconscious Mind.

Hypnotism

Hypnotism exposes the essence of the Subconscious Mind and allows us to see that it responds entirely by suggestion.

We cannot order our lives through hypnotism but only through consciously exercising our control over the Subconscious Mind which simply means consciously exercising control over our thoughts.

Meditation

Meditation is a tool with which we seek to control our thoughts and thus control our world through the Subconscious Mind.

Thought Transference & Intuition

Thought transference is proof that all life exists within one mind - Universal Subconscious Mind.

Intuition is proof that Universal Subconscious Mind contains knowledge of law and will reveal it to Conscious Mind when proper rapport established.

The Power of The Subconscious Mind

The Subconscious Mind has power to heal body, create physical form/circumstance but acute ill health must still be dealt with by doctor/psychiatrist as we have not come far enough in faith/conception to remove all cause/effect from purely physical plane.

First cause of every object/circumstance is its creation on the plane of Mind.

Control Your Thoughts

Thought is the only mover and according to degree of conscious intelligence, you will grasp power that is yours.

You can control your thoughts and thus control your destinies, and become as great and powerful as you can conceive of being, for there is at our disposal the unlimited power of all creation.

Meditation

Meditation is a tool with which we work. It is our way of giving suggestion to the Subconscious Mind.

Only through constant use of this great tool can you achieve control over your circumstance and destiny. You will succeed, for you cannot fail.

Understanding the Universal Mind

In this section, the speaker talks about his understanding of the searchings and copings of everyone he knows and sees. He emphasizes his sympathy and tolerance for all things and people. The speaker believes that helping others is equivalent to helping oneself.

Sympathy and Tolerance

The speaker has sympathy and tolerance for all things and people.

Helping others is equivalent to helping oneself.

Immutable Laws of Action

In this section, the speaker discusses how the universe hums like a great harp string resounding a mighty chord. He explains that there are immutable laws of action in the universe that account for the accumulation of substance into form.

Basic Substance

Energy is the basic thing behind all form and creation.

The basic substance that permeates all space and time is energy.

Immutable Laws

Everlasting and immutable laws of action alone account for the accumulation of substance into form.

Nothing extraneous to law calls into being centers of force; it is the nature of law to manifest them.

Vibrating Universe

In this section, the speaker describes how vibrations in pure universal intelligence are established on many different frequencies. All vibrations of one frequency are inevitably attracted.

Vibration

Vibrations in pure universal intelligence are established on many different frequencies.

All vibrations of one frequency are inevitably attracted.

The Formation of Matter

This section discusses how matter is formed from intelligence and how intelligence is in matter. It also explains that consciousness exists in all things.

Intelligence and Matter

Matter is formed from intelligence.

Intelligence is in matter.

Consciousness exists in all things.

Consciousness of the Atom

Atoms exercise a conscious choice whether they would or wouldn't combine with other atoms.

Atoms seek out other atoms which vibrate at a corresponding rate, and the coalescence of such atoms forms that which we designate as inanimate matter: water, earth, air, and minerals.

The atom is conscious! Working in accordance with law or universal intelligence, the atom seeks out other atoms which vibrate at a corresponding rate.

Expanding Consciousness

This section explains that the entire universe is alive and expanding its consciousness. It also discusses how form consists of many individual lives building up to a conscious whole.

Attempt to Expand Consciousness

The great motivating force of all life is its attempt to expand its consciousness.

All form consists of many individual lives building up to a conscious whole, building up to a conscious entity which attempts to work out its own purpose.

Levels of Consciousness

Though we can safely attribute consciousness and intelligence to the atom, there remains not the slightest possibility that the atom is self-conscious.

A group of conscious units must necessarily form a group consciousness.

The rock exists, therefore it must be conscious. It consists of conscious intelligence and must then have some consciousness of its own, albeit so far below our level of consciousness as to be indiscernible to us.

Life

There is nothing dead, nothing inanimate.

From the rock and sand and earth and water and air to the formation of the pain-pleasure responsive amoeba, what gigantic step is this? Expanding consciousness! Only that and nothing more.

The Nature of Universal Intelligence

In this section, the speaker discusses the nature of universal intelligence and how it seeks to know itself.

Expanding Consciousness

The entire universe is caught up in a mighty work of expanding consciousness.

The Universal Subconscious Mind is seeking an expanded self-consciousness.

As time progresses and our consciousness expands, we are growing closer and closer to attaining oneness with God.

Knowing Itself

It is the nature of universal intelligence to seek to know itself.

In order for universal intelligence to know itself, it must become something with boundaries, something finite, a thing.

Evolution

What is evolution? It is life expanding to a conscious oneness with God.

All the great metaphysical and religious works speak of the evolution of consciousness as the descent of spirit into matter.

Spirit Into Matter

In this section, the speaker discusses how spirit becomes matter and how consciousness evolves through different forms.

Centers of Force

The Universal Subconscious Mind sets up centers of force which are conscious and which attract other similar centers of force to form matter.

This matter resolves itself into a particular form and seeks ever to know more about itself.

Living Organisms

As its consciousness grows, matter becomes a living, expanding, feeding, and growing entity that we designate as a living organism.

Thus is established the cycle of birth and death such as exists in all living organisms.

Evolution

The process of evolution is now in high gear.

The amoeba seeking to know itself unites with other amoebas and becomes a jellyfish; the jellyfish further develops its perception and consciousness and becomes a fish; the fish further develops its consciousness and becomes a mammal; the mammal further develops its consciousness and becomes a man.

The Consciousness of God

In this section, the speaker discusses the consciousness of God and how it is present in all things.

Understanding the Consciousness of God

Browning wrote: "Such men are even now upon the earth Serene amid the half formed creatures round Who should be saved by them and joined with them."

Jesus said, "Who hath seen me, hath seen the Father."

The consciousness of Jesus has been distorted and misconstrued over time.

Form is but a result of consciousness, which is a result of thought.

Expanding Spirit Changes Form

As our spirit expands its consciousness, it seeks new forms through which to express itself.

Our body is an instrument of our consciousness and an expression of our knowledge of ourselves.

Reincarnation

There is only one life and one mind that incarnates itself billions of times over in its search to completely know itself.

Reincarnation will be obvious when we understand that there can be no life without an incarnation of the one life within us.

Perception of Indwelling Presence

In this section, the speaker talks about how difficult it can be to perceive the indwelling presence.

Difficulty in Perceiving Indwelling Presence

Perception of indwelling presence can be difficult to come by.

Dr. Elton Trueblood tried to lead the speaker out of his own circuitous questionings regarding the existence of God.

Dr. Trueblood offered the immense variety of religious experience undergone by men of high repute through the centuries.

Seeing God

The speaker asks Dr. Trueblood what God looks like, and he responds that God looks like everything.

Dr. Trueblood sees God in everything and everyone, as He is the changeless in the changing, the immutable and ever-present spirit.

Unity Versus Separateness

The consciousness of separateness cannot achieve mental healing and creation of circumstance and form through thought. Achieving the consciousness of God, the consciousness of the whole, can change form and circumstance and promote bodily healing through thought.

Consciousness of Separateness

Mental healing and creation of circumstance and form through thought may never be accomplished by him whose consciousness is one of separateness.

Consciousness of God

He who achieves the consciousness of the whole, the consciousness of God, may change form and circumstance and promote bodily healing through thought.

Jesus' Miracles

Jesus walked upon water, raised the dead, healed the sick, fed five thousand with seven loaves of bread, changed water into wine, appeared and disappeared at will.

Those who shut their eyes to these miracles are blinding themselves to the greatest truth ever revealed to a searching world.

Destiny of Man

Such is man's destiny that one day there will be no necessity for form or differentiation in the mind of God. All will be one complete unity - a self-conscious Universal Mind.

These things will one day be commonplace as individuals achieve this all-encompassing consciousness more frequently.

The Secret Doctrine

There exists a body of esoteric teaching called "The Secret Doctrine" which holds that man's evolution proceeds through seven principal races.

Evolution Through Seven Principal Races

According to "The Secret Doctrine," man's evolution proceeds through seven principal races.

We are currently living under the great Fifth race, which began with the civilizations in Persia, Egypt, and the Orient.

The first race of man was largely spiritual, the second began to take on form, the third produced a race of giants that inhabited the continent of Lemuria.

The fourth inhabited the continent of Atlantis and the fifth sought refuge in Europe and Asia after the deluge to produce today's materialistic age.

Evidence for Lemuria

Adherents of "The Secret Doctrine" maintain that Lemuria existed in the South Pacific Ocean and offer as evidence gigantic statues found on Easter Island. These statues are between twenty-seven and thirty feet high and show no evidence of having been built by scaffolding but appear to have been molded by beings whose stature was approximately the same.

Evidence for Atlantis

Adherents also maintain that Atlantis was destroyed when Earth reversed its poles again. The men inhabiting this continent were supposedly eighteen feet tall, their civilization putting our present one to shame with all our scientific advances having been made as well as development far exceeding our own.

The Secret Doctrine

This section discusses the Secret Doctrine, which holds that intelligence and law are the only realities, and that mankind is evolving towards spiritual oneness. It also suggests that there are superior beings in the universe who guide man's evolution on earth.

Evolution of Mankind

Evidence of the existence of races is sketchy.

Intelligence and law are the only realities.

Mankind is evolving towards spiritual oneness.

Man can attain universal consciousness and control over all things.

History of Mankind

Man's evolving spirit has inhabited other forms than we know today.

The process of evolution has gone on for perhaps millions of years.

The earth may turn over every so often, for the precession of the equinoxes is known to every astronomer.

Superior Beings

There are superior beings in the universe who watch and guide man's evolution on earth.

These beings send their messengers or teachers to our world in the form of Adepts (those whose evolution has progressed sufficiently to be able to gradually reveal eternal truths to mankind).

Jesus was one of these Adepts, as was Gautama Buddha, as was Plato.

Life on Other Worlds

Higher evolved beings than man exist on other worlds in space.

All form is merely manifold differentiations of one supreme mind; therefore life exists everywhere.

Some stars have climate conditions that may approximate those of Earth.

Relativity of Matter

This section discusses how matter is purely relative to the senses that perceive it. In its essence, it is pure intelligence and combines into such a form as to be perceptible to whatever perceives it.

Our spectroscope reveals the existence on far-flung planets of elements that may weigh as much as hundreds of tons per cubic inch.

Matter is purely relative to the senses that perceive it.

In its essence, matter is pure intelligence and combines into such a form as to be perceptible to whatever perceives it.

The Relativity of Time

This section discusses the concept of time in relation to spaceship travel and how it changes as the speed of the ship increases.

Spaceship Travel and Time

A spaceship would float in free space, orbiting around a principal interstellar body.

If rockets were fired from the rear of the spaceship, its speed would increase.

The speed could eventually be accelerated to 186,000 miles per second or 669,600,000 miles per hour which is the speed of light.

Einstein maintains that an object increases in size with its speed and at this speed, a mass would become infinitely large. He also maintains that time becomes longer for those who travel at increased velocities; that at the speed of light, time actually stands still!

Growing into Understanding

This section talks about expanding consciousness and understanding what mind is.

Understanding Mind

There are no words or formulas that must not first be understood.

Conception and thought are the alpha and omega of all existence.

Concern with space and time and the nature of matter and form are essential to expanding consciousness.

Reality versus Delusion

This section discusses how we perceive reality versus what it really is.

Perceiving Reality

All form is made of pure eternal intelligence, Universal Subconscious Mind; and that mind lies within each one of us.

Mountains, trees, brooks, seas, meadows - all forms around us are made of the same basic substance as ourselves.

We attach our fleeting securities to the forms around us, vainly try to build up a sense of permanence in a constantly changing material world, forgetting the enigma of our births and the inevitability of our deaths.

Form and Conception

The existence of form even when it is not perceived. The duality of our lives, living on two planes at once: the plane of mind and thought; and the physical plane of things and circumstances.

Form as Conception

Form may exist even though it is not perceived.

Form is no more than conception, an idea that always involves consciousness.

The chair actually exists in the Universal Subconscious Mind as a conception made of the same substance as the Universal Subconscious Mind.

Duality of Our Lives

We live upon two planes at once: the plane of mind and thought; and the physical plane of things and circumstances.

All truth exists within man, who studies his own mind studies the cause and source of things as they really are.

The Fourth Dimension

Science's attempt to place a fourth perpendicular in space to answer for the cause and existence of things studied. Life evolving to recognize possibly seven dimensions with each dimension representing itself as movement.

Science's Attempt to Place a Fourth Perpendicular in Space

Science has long been working along the premise that we fail to grasp the full significance of form.

Three dimensions cannot possibly answer for the cause and existence of things studied.

Life Evolving to Recognize Possibly Seven Dimensions

Life is evolving to recognize possibly seven dimensions with each dimension representing itself as movement.

Man perceives fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh dimensions as movement also.

The Unity of All Things

In this section, the speakers discuss the idea that beneath the illusion of separateness lies a great unity of all things. They argue that space and time are combined into one underlying infinite spirit or intelligence, which they refer to as the Universal Subconscious Mind.

The Purpose of Individual Lives

The purpose of individual lives and things is for the Universal Subconscious Mind to know itself by becoming things.

Human evolution is destined to expand self-consciousness to infinity.

Viewpoint and Illusion of Separateness

Viewpoint gives us the illusion of separateness in life.

Consciousness plays a trick on us by making us believe we are negligible in the vast scheme of things.

Our consciousness is imprisoned within our bodies, leading us to presume that our personal "I's" are forever limited.

Who Is "I"?

This section explores the concept of "I" and how it represents hundreds, perhaps thousands, or even millions or billions of "I's." Each person has their own unique train and sequence of thought that makes them who they are.

The Nature of "I"

Every conscious organism refers to itself as "I."

Each "I" represents another on an expanding scale of consciousness.

Your "I" is different from anyone else's in the world because only you have had your exact train and sequence of thought.

The Illusion Of Isolation

One barrier in explaining the unity of life is that people often believe in the illusion of isolation.

The true nature of mind is universal and in all things.

The Oneness of All Things

In this section, the speaker discusses how consciousness tends to lock itself within a finite body, making it difficult for individuals to perceive that they and their neighbors are one. The speaker suggests that if each thought affecting an individual were identical in number and sequence with their neighbor's, then their consciousness would have to be the same.

The Uniqueness of You

No two completely identical things exist in the universe.

You are what you are only because of what you have thought.

Most of your thinking is prompted by the sensations that come to you through your five senses.

At this stage of evolution, you are acutely aware of self as a separate, isolated being.

The Kingdom of God is Within

All form and matter represent only the same intelligence that is in us.

We must strive constantly to expand our consciousness by identifying ourselves with everything and everyone about us.

We must search in our quiet hours for contact with the Universal Subconscious Mind, where all information and all thought have been indelibly impressed.

Teach our children to control their thinking, teach our neighbors to control their thinking.

Mind is Greater Than All

Expand your consciousness to include everything as living parts of the fluidic medium in which you live.

Somewhere behind the barriers established by your habits of thought exists the consciousness of the whole, the intelligence that knows all things, the Universal Subconscious Mind.

As we work more and more with intelligence and consciousness, we will learn to disregard size in relation to our own bodies.

Mind alone is the answer to all things and mind need never be limited by space and time.

The Secret Doctrine

This section discusses the teachings of the Secret Doctrine, which has been held inviolate by esoteric groups for many ages. It teaches that mankind is evolving toward spiritual unity and lays down the past and future of man's evolution.

Key Points:

The Secret Doctrine has been held inviolate by esoteric groups for many ages.

It teaches that mankind is evolving toward spiritual unity.

The Secret Doctrine lays down the past and future of man's evolution but this cannot be accepted as substantiated.

Matter is only relative, and is nothing more than a combination of centers of force or moving intelligence.

Space and time are also relative and represent concepts in the Universal Subconscious Mind.

Man Lives Upon Two Planes

This section discusses how man lives upon two planes at once—the plane of mind and thought, and the plane of things and circumstances.

Key Points:

Man lives upon two planes at once—the plane of mind and thought, and the plane of things and circumstances.

Actually these two planes are only one.

Your "I" is a product of your thought

and is never the same from one moment to the next, except insofar as it is confined within the fleshly limits of your body.

The real "I" is eternal, everlasting, only one, and contains all things.

The Kingdom of God is within us.

You are what you think, and thoughts are things; therefore select your thoughts with care.

Patience

This section discusses the importance of patience when it comes to applying the laws of mind to the realms of love, success, and health.

Key Points:

Still we have not come to grips with concrete problems in concrete lives.

We modems are an impatient people, and always the first thing we want to know is what does it do?

Bear with us; the groundwork must be thoroughly laid.

The Infallible Law

This section discusses how the law taught in this book works all of the time and nothing or nobody on the face of the earth is big enough to stop it from working.

Key Points:

The law this book teaches works all of the time and nothing or nobody on the face of the earth is big enough to stop it from working.

The law works one hundred percent of the time. It never fails.

If you apply it to achieve success and you meet with failure, it isn't the law that has failed—it is you!

That which knows and does everything is inside you and harkens

to the slightest whisper.
