of the faculties and forces on the subject in question speech interferes with the powers of concentration of the mind as it withdraws attention to the external and, therefore, can hardly be compared with that deep silence of the subconscious mind where deep thoughts and silent forces of high power develop; silence is necessary before the person who is truly alert and well can speak wisely.

Serene and able to speak wisely in difficult circumstances is the person who has practiced silence. Most people do not know what silence is and think that it is easy to enter silence, but this is not so in the real silence that we attach ourselves to. that inner law and forces become silent because they are in a state of high power or beyond the vibratory sounds to which our outer ears are attuned. Whoever wishes to be above the ordinary must open the inner channels that lead to the absolute. law of the omnipotent you can only do this by persistently and intelligently practicing concentration of thought keep the thought silent I will allow my higher self to have complete control I will be true to my higher self I will live true to my conception of what is right I realize that it is It is in my own interest to give my best.

I demand wisdom so that I can act wisely for myself and for others. In the next chapter I will tell you about the mysterious law that unites all humanity through the powers of cooperative thinking and choose for us company and friends lesson 5 how concentrated thought unites all humanity it is in your power to satisfy all your desires success It is the result of the way you think I will show you how to think to be successful The power to govern and attract success is within you The barriers that close you are subject to your control You have unlimited power to think and this is the link that connects you with your omniscient source success is the result of certain moods or ways of thinking thinking that these moods can be controlled by you and produced at will, you have evolved into what you are from a humble atom because you possess the power to think that this power will never leave you, but will continue to propel you until you reach perfection as you evolve. you create new desires and these can be satisfied the power to govern is within you the barriers that prevent you from governing are also within you these are the barriers of ignorance concentrated thought will achieve seemingly impossible results and will make you realize your most cherished ambitions by At the same time, the moment you break down the barriers of limitation, new ambitions will awaken and you will begin to experience conscious thought constructions.

If you realize that through deep concentration you link yourself with thoughts of omnipotence, you will completely end your belief in your limitations and at the same time drive away all fear and other negative and destructive thought forces that constantly act in your against; Instead, you will develop a strong confidence that each of your initiatives will be successful when you thus learn to concentrate and reinforce the thinking you control. your mental creations, they in turn help shape your physical environment and you become the master of circumstances and the ruler of your kingdom. It's just as easy to surround your life with what you want as with what you don't want. a question that must be decided by your will there are no walls that prevent you from getting what you want, as long as you want what is right, if you choose something that is not right, you are in opposition to the omnipotent plans of the universe and you deserve to fail, but if you base your desires in justice and good will, you will harness the useful powers of the universal currents, and instead of having an obstacle to work against, you will be able to depend on ultimate success, even if outward appearances are not bright at first.

Never stop to think about temporary things. appearances but maintain an unwavering belief in your ultimate success make your plans care

y and see that they are not contrary to the tides of universal justice the main thing you must remember is to continue obeying the destructive and opposing forces of fear and anger and their satellites No There is power as great as the belief that comes from the knowledge that your thought is in harmony with the divine laws of thought and from the sincere conviction that your cause is right; Apparently you can achieve results for a while, even if your cause is unjust, but the results will be temporary and over time you will have to tear down your edifice of thoughts and build on the true foundation of correct plans that are not built on the truth, they produce vibrations. discordant and therefore self-destructive.

Never try to build until you can build well, it is a waste of time to do anything else, you can temporarily set aside your desire to do what is right, but its true vibrations will interfere with your unjust plans until you are forced to return to the paths. righteous of power, although all just causes succeed in time. They can temporarily fail, so if you face the moment when everything seems to be against you, calm your fears, push away all destructive thoughts and defend the dignity of your moral and spiritual life, where there is a will, there is a way, reason The reason this is so is that The will can open a path if it is given the opportunity to enlist the help of forces that help it.

The more it develops, the higher the path it will lead to. When everything seems bleak and discouraging, then it's time to show what you're made of by rejoicing. that you can control your moods making them as calm, serene and bright as if prosperity were yours. Be faithful to sow the seeds of the thought of success with perfect confidence that the sun will not cease to shine and bring a bountiful harvest in one season. It is not like this. It is always necessary to think about the success of a company when you are really involved in it, because when the body is inactive the mind is freer to capture new ideas that will promote the opportunity you are looking for when you are really involved in doing something you are doing. thinking about the channels that you have previously built and the work does not have to be done again when you are in a negative mood the intuitions are more active because then you are not controlling your thoughts by the will everything we do must have the approval of the intuition when you are in a negative mood you attract thoughts of a similar nature through the law of affinity that is why it is so important to form thoughts of a successful nature to attract similar ones if you have never done a study on this topic you can think that all this is nonsense, but It is a fact that there are currents of thought that infallibly bring thoughts of a similar nature.

Many people who think about failure actually attract failure through their worries, anxieties, and hyperactivity. These thoughts will surely bring failure once learned. If you follow the laws of thought and think only of the good truth, of success, you will progress more with less effort than you have ever made before there are forces that can help the mind that the average person can hardly dream of. when you learn to believe in things more. value of thought and its laws, you will be guided to the right path and your trading profits will multiply. The following method can help you gain better thought control.

If you can't control your fears, just tell your faulty determination, don't hesitate or be afraid. I am truly not alone I am surrounded by invisible forces that will help me eliminate unfavorable appearances soon you will have more courage the only difference between the brave man and the fearful is in his will his hope so if you do not succeed believe in I hope you say it, You can use the same method to reinforce your thoughts of desire, aspiration, imagination, expectation, ambition, understanding, confidence and security. If you become anxious, angry, discouraged, indecisive, or worried, it is because you are not receiving the cooperation of the powers. superiors of your mind by your will you can organize the powers of the mind in such a way that your moods change only as you want, instead other circumstances affect you.

I was recently asked if I advised you to focus on what you eat or what you see while you walk. My answer was. that it does not matter what you may be doing when in practice you do not think about anything other than that act at the moment the idea is to be able to control your unimportant actions otherwise you establish a habit that will be difficult to overcome because your faculties have not Si You have the habit of concentrating your faculties, you cannot be disorganized one minute and organized the next. If you allow your mind to wander while doing small things, you will be likely to get into mischief and find it difficult to focus on the important act when necessary.

The man who is able to concentrate arrives, he is the happy and busy man, time does not drag, he always has a lot to do, he does not have time to think about the mistakes of the past that would make him unhappy if, despite our discouragement and failures, we claim our great Life, truth and the force of inheritance, like an electric current, will permeate our lives until we enter into our birthright in eternity. The will does not act with clarity, decision and promptness unless it is trained to do so. There are comparatively few who really know what they are doing. every minute of the day this is because they do not observe with enough order and precision to know what they are doing.

It is not difficult to know what you are doing all the time if you simply practice concentration and calm deliberation and train yourself. To think clearly, quickly and decisively, if you allow yourself to worry or rush through what you are doing, this will not be clearly photographed on the sensitized plate of the subjective mind and therefore you will not be truly aware of your actions, so Practice precision and concentration. thought and also absolute truthfulness and soon you will be able to concentrate lesson six the training of the will to do the will to do is the greatest power in the world that deals with human fulfillment and no one can determine in advance its limits things what we do now It would have been possible a few years ago;

Today the safest maxim is that everything is possible; The will to do is a force that is strictly practical, but it is difficult to explain exactly what it is; It can be compared to electricity because we know it only through its cause and effects, it is a power that we can direct and to the extent that we direct it we determine our future every time you perform any defined act, consciously or unconsciously, you use the principle of the will that you may want to do. anything, whether it is right or wrong and therefore the way you use your will makes a big difference in your life each person possesses a certain will to do it it is the internal energy that controls all conscious acts what you wish to do directs your vital forces all good or bad habits are the result of what you want to make improvements or diminish your condition in life so you want to do your will has a connection with all the paths of knowledge all activities all achievements probablyDo you know of cases where people have shown wonderful strength under certain emotion similar to the following a farmer's wife's house caught fire there was no one around to help remove anything she was a fragile woman and was usually considered weak in This occasion took things away.

Habits of thought and habits of will can be formed. All physical impressions are the realization of the actions of the will and intellect. Our nervous systems are what they are today because of the way they have been trained. As we age, most of us become older. and more like automatic machines the habits we have formed grow in strength we work in our old characteristic way your associates learn to expect you to do things a certain way so that you see that your habits make a big difference in your life and how it is almost as easy to form good habits as well as bad ones you should form only the former no one except yourself is responsible for your habits you are free to form the habits you should and if everyone could realize the importance of forming the right kind of habits Habits What a different world it would be this!

The happier everyone would be, then everyone, instead of just a few, could be successful. Habits form more quickly when we are young, but if we have already passed the youthful plastic period, it is time to start controlling our habits. It is right now, as we will never be younger, you will find the following maxims worth remembering. First maxim: we must make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy. Second maxim both in the acquisition of a new habit and in the abandonment of an old one. We must be careful to launch ourselves with the strongest and most determined initiative possible.

The man who has a habit of doing the right thing since childhood has only good motives, so it is very important for you to focus assiduously on the habits they reinforce. good reasons surround yourself with every age you cannot play with fire by forming bad habits make a new beginning today study why you have been doing certain things if they are not for your good avoid them from now on do not give in to a single temptation because every time you do it you strengthen the chain of bad habits every time you maintain a resolution you break the chain that enslaves you third maxim never allow an exception to occur until the new habit is firmly rooted in your life here is the idea that you never want to give in until the problem is solved new habit, otherwise you undo everything that has been achieved by previous efforts, there are two opposite inclinations, one wants to be firm and the other wants to give in of your will, you can become firm through repetition, strengthen your will to be able To confront any maximal fourth opposition, take advantage of the first possible opportunity to act on every resolution you make and every emotional impulse you may experience in the direction of the habits you aspire to acquire.

To make a resolution and not maintain it is of little value, so That, of course, stick to every resolution you make, as you will not only benefit from the resolution, but it will also provide you with an exercise that will cause your brain cells and their physiological correlates to form the habit of adapting to carry out your resolutions, a trend. Acting takes root in us effectively in proportion to the uninterrupted frequency with which actions actually occur and the brain grows for its use. When a resolution or fine glow of feeling is allowed to evaporate without bearing fruit, it is worse than a missed opportunity.

If you keep your resolutions. You form a very valuable habit. If you break them, you form a very dangerous one. So focus on accomplishing them, whether they are important or unimportant, and remember that it is equally important for this purpose to keep all four unimportant. By doing so, you are forming. The fifth maxim of habit keeps alive in you the power to make an effort through a small free exercise each day. The more we exercise our will, the better we can control our habits. Every few days do something for no reason other than its difficulty, so that when the time of extreme necessity approaches, you may not find yourself nervous or untrained to withstand the test.

Asceticism of this kind is like the insurance a man pays for his house and property. The tax is of no use to you at that time and may never bring you benefits. but if the fire comes for having paid it will be his salvation from ruin, so with the man who has daily ensured two habits of concentrated attention, energetic flight and self-denial in unnecessary things, he will remain like a tower when everything sways around him and his softer mortal companions are blown like chaff in the explosion; Young people must be made to concentrate on their habits and made to understand that if they do not do so they become walking bundles of harmful habits;

Youth is the plastic state and must be used in laying the foundation for a glorious future The great value of habit for good and evil cannot be overestimated Habit is the deepest law of human nature No man is stronger than your habits because your habits increase your strength or diminish it why we are creatures of Habits habits have often been called a laborious invention because when they are formed they require less mental and material strength, the deeper the habit becomes, the more automatic becomes, therefore, habit is an economizing tendency of our nature because if it were. not out of habit we should have to be more attentive we walk down a crowded street the habit of stopping and looking prevents us from getting hurt the right kind of habits prevents us from making mistakes and mishaps it is a well known fact that a driver is not capable of master your machine safely until you have trained your body on a regular basis when an emergency comes, you instantly know what to do where safety depends on how quickly the operator must work automatically habits mean less risk less fatigue and greater precision you don't want to Becoming a slave to habits of a trivial nature, for example, Wagner needed certain clothing before he could compose the corresponding parts of his operas.

Schiller could never write easily unless there were rotten apples in his desk drawer from which he could occasionally get a smell that seemed sweet to him. Gladstone had different desks for his different activities, so when he worked on Homer he never He sat among the usual companions of his legislative work. To overcome undesirable habits, two things are necessary, you must have trained your will to do what you wanted to do and the stronger the will, the easier it will be to break a habit, then you must make the resolution. to do just the opposite of what the habit is, therefore, one habit must replace another, if you have a strong will, you can do it.

Focus tenaciously and persistently on eliminating the bad habit and in no time the good habit will take the lead. I will close this chapter by giving Dr. Oppenheim's instructions for overcoming a habit if you wish to abolish a habit and its accumulations. Aside from the circumstances, you must deal with the matter as seriously as you would a physical enemy. You must face the encounter with all the tenacity of determination, with all the ferocity of resolution, yes, even with a passion for success that can be called vengeful, no human enemy can. to be so insidious so persevering so relentless as an unfavorable habit never sleeps does not need rest it is like a parasite that grows with the growth of the body that supports it and like a parasite the best way to kill it is by violent separation and crushing when life It is stormy and everything seems against us.

It is when we often acquire bad habits and that is when we have to make a gigantic effort to think and speak as we should and although we may feel the opposite at that moment, the slightest effort will be supported by a tremendous power and will lead us to a realization never felt before. It is not in the easy and happy moments of our lives that we make our greatest progress, because then it requires no special effort to stay in tune, but it is when we are in the midst of trials and misfortunes that we believe we are sinking and being overwhelmed.

It is important that we realize that we are linked to a great power and if we live as we should there is nothing that can happen in life that can permanently harm us. Nothing can happen that should disturb us, so always remember that you have a power within you. unlimited ready to manifest itself in the form that meets our need at this moment, if when we have something difficult to solve we remain silent like the child, we can obtain inspiration. When it arrives, we will know how to act, we will discover that there is no need to rush or bother, that it is always more prudent to wait for inner guidance than to act on impulse from outside.

Lesson 10, business results through concentration, a successful business is not normally the result of chance nor is it a failure it is the result of luck most failures could be determined in advance if the founders had been studied no It is always possible to start a profitable business from the beginning. Normally you have to make a series of changes. The plans do not work as their creators thought, you may have to change them a little, expand it, it can be here and there, and as you expand your business , you expand your power to achieve it, you gain an intense and sustained desire to make your business a success when you start a business you may have only a vague notion of the way in which you will carry it out you must fill in the details as you go you must concentrate on these details as you fix them one after another others will require attention in this way you cover the field of the first effort and new opportunities open up for you when you make one wish another comes but if you do not fulfill the first wish you will not fulfill the second the person He who does not put his desires into action is just a dreamer.

Desire is a great creative force if it is pure, intense and sustained. It is our desires that continue to drive us to action and will strengthen and expand you if you make them materialize. Every man who achieves success deserves it when he started. I don't understand how to solve the problems that arose later, but he did each thing as it came to him to the best of his ability and this developed his power to do greater things. We become masters of business by learning to do well whatever we try. The man who has a thorough knowledge of his business can, of course, direct it with much more ease and skill than the man who lacks that knowledge; the skillful business manager can sit in his private office and still know precisely what he wants. is really being done, he knows what needs to be done.

It must be done at a given time and if it is not achieved, he knows that his employees are not doing the work they should, then it is easy to apply the remedy, the success of the business depends on well-concentrated efforts, he must use all the mental strength he can . master the more they are used the more they increase, therefore, the more you achieve today, the more strength you will have at your disposal to solve your problems tomorrow, if today you are working for someone else and want to start a business for yourself, think care

y about what what you would like to do, then when you have figured out what you want to do, you will feel drawn towards it.

There is a law that opens the way for the fulfillment of your desires. Of course, behind your wish you must present the necessary measures. Effort to carry out your purpose. You must use your power to put your wishes into effect once they are created and you maintain your determination to fulfill them. You work, both consciously and unconsciously, towards its materialization. You set your heart on your purpose. You focus your thoughts on it. direct your efforts with all your intelligence and in due time you will realize your ambition, feel like a success, believe that you are a success and thus put yourself in the attitude that demands recognition and current thinking attracts to you what you need to become a Success Don't have afraid of big companies, approach them with determination and follow methods that you believe will achieve your purpose.

You may not achieve complete success at first, but aim so high that if you fall a little short you will still have achieved a lot. what others have done you can do you can even do what others have not been able to do always keep in your mind a strong desire to succeed fall in love with your goal and your work and make them fit as much as possible with the rule of the greatest good for the greatest number and your life cannot be a failure the successful attitude in business must be cultivated to get the most out of your life the attitude of expecting great things from both yourself and others, this alone will often make the men do good at the height For the best in them, it is not the spasmodic outbursts that count on a long journey, but the constant efforts cause fatigue and make it difficult for you to continue trusting your own opinion.

It should be as good as anyone else's once you arrive. a conclusion accept it do not allow doubts or hesitation in your judgment if you are notsure of every decision you make you will be subject to doubts and harassing fears that will make your judgment of little value the man who decides according to what he thinks is right and who learns from every mistake acquires a balanced mind that obtains the best results he gains trust From others he is known as the man who knows what he wants and not as one who is as changeable as the weather.

The man of today wants to do business with the man he can depend on. The uncertainties in the business world are met with. less and less favor trustworthy companies want to do business with men of qualities known with men of firmnesssubject read long articles and remember the thread of the argument associate with people who are firm, patient and tireless in their thinking, action and work see how long you can sit still and think about a topic without interruption concentrating on the higher self father time continues Over and over again, every day he rolls means one less day for you on this planet.

Most of us are just trying to master the external conditions of this world. We believe that our success and happiness depend on us doing so. These are, of course, important and I am not. I don't want you to think that they are not, but I want you to realize that when death comes, only those qualities and conditions inherent and acquired within the mentality, the conduct of your character and the growth of the soul will accompany you, if you are They are what they should be, you don't need to be. afraid of not being successful and being happy because with these qualities you can shape the materials and external conditions, study yourself, find your strong points and make them stronger, as well as the weak ones and strengthen them, study yourself carefully and you will see yourself as you really are.

The secret of achievement is concentration or the art of directing all your power to a single point at a time. If you have studied yourself carefully, you should have a good line about yourself and should be able to make appropriate internal readjustments. Remember first, last and always right. Thinking and living correctly necessarily results in happiness and therefore it is in your power to obtain happiness. Anyone who is not happy does not claim their birthright. Keep in mind that one day you are going to leave this world and think about what you will take with you. It will help you focus on higher forces.

Now begin from this minute to act according to the advice of the higher self in everything you do. If you do so, its ever-harmonious forces will necessarily assure you a successful fulfillment of all your life's purposes whenever you do so. I am tempted to disobey your higher impulses. I hold the thought that my higher self assures me the happiness of doing what best corresponds to my true relationships with all others. You possess latent talents that, when developed and used, are helpful to yourself and others, but if you do. If you do not use them properly, you will shirk your duty and be the loser and suffer the consequences.

Others will also be worse off if you do not fulfill your obligations. When you have activated your powers of thought, you will realize the wonderful value of these principles. In helping you carry out your plans, what is right must prevail in the end. You can help carry out the great plan of the universe and reap the rewards, or you can work against the great plan and suffer the consequences. The fires are gradually purifying all discordant elements. If you choose to work against the law, you will burn in its crucible, so I want you to learn to intelligently focus on being in harmony with your higher self.

Hold the thought. I will live for the best I seek. wisdom self-knowledge happiness and power to help others I act from the higher self therefore only the best can come to me the more aware we are of the presence of the higher self the more we should try to become a true representative of the human soul in all its integrity and holiness, instead of wasting time thinking about some insignificant external quality or defect, we should try to secure a true conception of what we really are so as not to overvalue the external furniture; then you will not give up your dignity or your self-esteem. respect when others ignorantly flaunt material things to show off only the person who realizes that he is a permanent being knows what the true self is this recording of the power of concentration by
