The subconscious mind does not question the source from which it receives orders, nor the soundness of those orders, but it will proceed to direct the body to carry out any order it receives.

A PLEASURE THAT DEMANDS

Every movement of the human body is controlled by either the conscious or the subconscious section of the mind, and that not a muscle can be moved until an order to do so has been sent out by one or the other of these two sections of the mind.
Any idea or thought that we create and hold in the conscious mind until the subconscious mind has time to take over that thought and begin the work of transforming it into its material counterpart.
A Definite Chief Aim, which is only another name for desire, would be meaningless unless based on a strong desire for the object of that aim. Many people "wish" for many things, but a wish is not the
equivalent of a strong desire, and therefore wishes are of little or no value unless crystallized into the more definite form of desire.

anything we can imagine and believe we can do!
Every material thing that man has created began in the form of energy, through the seed of an idea that was released through the imaginative faculty of the human mind. In other words, the beginning of every material thing is energy and the ending of it is energy.
All matter obeys the command of one form or another of energy. The highest known form of energy is that which functions as the human mind. The human mind, therefore, is the sole directing force
of everything man creates, and what he may create with this force in the future, as compared with what he has created with it in the past, will make his past achievements seem petty and small.
We do not have to wait for future discoveries for evidence that the mind is the greatest force known to mankind. We know now that any idea, aim, or purpose that is fixed in the mind and held there with a will to achieve or attain its physical or material equivalent, puts into motion powers that cannot be conquered.
English author Charles Buxton said: "The longer I live the more certain I am that the great difference between men, between the feeble and the powerful, the great and the insignificant, is energy
invincible determination-a purpose once fixed, and then death or victory. That quality will do anything that can be done in this world and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a two-legged creature a man without it."
Author Donald G. Mitchell has well said: "Resolve is what makes a man manifest. Not puny resolve; not crude determinations; not errant purposes-but that strong and indefatigable will which treads down difficulties and danger, as a boy treads down the heaving frost
lands of winter, which kindles his eye and brain with proud pulse-beat toward the unattainable. Will makes men giants!"
The great Benjamin Disraeli said: "I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment."
Sir John Simpson said: "A passionate desire and an unwearied will can perform impossibilities, or what may seem to be such to the cold, timid and feeble."
Abraham Lincoln said of General Grant: "The great thing about Grant is his cool persist-ency of purpose. He is not easily excited, and he has got the grip of a bulldog. When he once gets his teeth in, nothing can shake him off."
A strong desire, to be transformed into reality, must be backed with persist-ency until it is taken over by the subconscious mind. It is not enough to feel very deeply the desire for achievement of a Definite Chief Aim, for just a few hours or a few days. The desire must be placed in the mind and held there-with persistence that knows no defeat-until the automatic or subconscious mind takes it over. Up to this point you must stand behind the desire and push it; beyond this point the desire will
stand behind you and push you on to achievement.
Persistence may be compared to the dropping of water that finally wears away the hardest stone. When the final chapter of your life has been completed, it will be found that your persistence, or lack of this sterling quality, played an important part in either your success or your failure.
Success is won by the person who understands how to use their power of thought.
creates ideas and it may be made to transform these ideas into their most profitable, constructive form.
Your thoughts affect your entire personality and attract to you the outward, physical things that harmonize with the nature of your thoughts.
When you suggest to your subconscious mind a Definite Chief Aim that embodies a definite desire, you must accompany it with such faith and belief in the ultimate realization of that purpose that you
can actually see yourself in possession of it. Conduct yourself as you would if you were already in possession of the object of your definite purpose-from the moment that you suggest it to your subconscious mind. Enrich it with full belief that infinite intelligence will step in and mature that purpose into reality in exact accordance with its nature.
Anything short of such belief will bring you disappointment. Do not question whether the principles of autosuggestion will work. Do not doubt, but believe! The power to think as you wish to think is the only power over which you have absolute control.
You are the "master of your fate" and the "captain of your soul" because you control your own thoughts. With the aid of your thoughts you may create whatever you desire
The term accurate thought, as used in this lesson, refers to thought that is of your own creation. Thought that comes to you from others, through either suggestion or direct statement, is not accurate thought within the meaning and purpose of this lesson, although it may be thought that is based on facts.

Any idea or thought that we create and hold in the conscious mind until the subconscious mind has time to take over that thought and begin the work of transforming it into its material counterpart.
The Value of Adopting a Chief Aim
First create the objective toward which you are striving, through the imaginative faculty of your mind, then transfer an outline of this objective to paper by writing out a definite statement of it in the nature of a Definite Chief Aim.
By daily reference to this written statement, the idea or thing aimed for is taken up by the conscious mind and handed over to the subconscious mind, which in turn directs the energies of the body to transform the desire into reality.
Desire
Strong, deeply rooted desire is the starting point and seed of all achievement. It is the starting place behind which there is nothing, or at least nothing of which we have any knowledge.A Definite Chief Aim, which is only another name for desire, would be meaningless unless based on a strong desire for the object of that aim. Many people "wish" for many things, but a wish is not the
equivalent of a strong desire, and therefore wishes are of little or no value unless crystallized into the more definite form of desire.
Suggestion and Autosuggestion
Impressions arising out of one's environment, or from statements or actions of other people, are called suggestions, while sense impressions that we place in our own minds are placedthere by self-suggestion, or autosuggestion.
No one may influence another without the consent of the one influenced, as the influencing is done through one's own power of autosuggestion.
The Value of Autosuggestion in
Achieving Your Definite Chief Aim
THE SUBJECTIVE MIND IS
ENTIRELY UNDER THE CONTROL
OF THE OBJECTIVE MIND.
WITH THE UTMOST FIDELITY
IT REPRODUCES AND WORKS OUT
TO ITS FINAL CONSEQUENCES
WHATEVER THE OBJECTIVE MIND
IMPRESSES UPON IT.

The word impossible means less now than it ever did before in the history of the human race. There are some who have actually removed this word from their vocabularies, believing that we can doanything we can imagine and believe we can do!

ALL THAT WE ARE
ARISES WITH OUR THOUGHTS.
WITH OUR THOUGHTS,
WE MAKE THE WORLD.

Accurate Thinking is thinking that makes intelligent use of all the powers of the human mind, and it does not stop with the mere examination, classification, and arranging of ideas. Accurate Thinkingcreates ideas and it may be made to transform these ideas into their most profitable, constructive form.

Man is but the physical reflection of thought that was put into motion by infinite intelligence.
All thought is creative. However, not all thought is constructive or positive. If you think thoughts of misery and poverty and see no way to avoid them, then your thoughts will create those very conditions. But reverse the order, and think thoughts of a positive, expectant nature, and your thoughts will create those conditions.Your thoughts affect your entire personality and attract to you the outward, physical things that harmonize with the nature of your thoughts.
When you suggest to your subconscious mind a Definite Chief Aim that embodies a definite desire, you must accompany it with such faith and belief in the ultimate realization of that purpose that you
can actually see yourself in possession of it. Conduct yourself as you would if you were already in possession of the object of your definite purpose-from the moment that you suggest it to your subconscious mind.

THE PROBLEM WITH MOST PEOPLE
IS THAT THEY THINK WITH THEIR
HOPES OR FEARS OR WISHES
RATHER THAN THEIR MINDS.
