- 無限的思考力
宇宙是無限的，人的思考力也是無限的，因此人的創造力也是無限的。認識到這一點，你的任何目標都可以實現，一切險阻都會變成坦途。
- 消極的思想具有破壞力
消極的思想具有破壞力，它不僅會驅逐我們的快樂、自信、健康的精神狀態，還會使我們的物質財富蒙受損失。因此，必須把它們從我們的思想中排除出去。
- 思考力是人類的本能
- 專注於你的理想
有許多人擁有理想，但並未獲得他們的想要的成功，這並不是理想的過錯，而是這些人在不停地更換他們的理想。理想不是衣服，可以今天穿這件，明天換那件，後天還要更換。如此頻繁的更改目標隻會耗散你的力量，讓你的生活變得混亂不堪、失去意義，結果必將一無所成。
- 一位雕塑家的失敗
有一位雕塑家，得到一塊上好地大理石，他想雕刻一座宙斯的神像，然後還沒等雕出輪廓，他又想雕刻一個美少女，剛鑿了幾下他又想不如換成一位運動員，如此不停地更改，結果會怎樣呢？可想而知：他什麽也沒有雕成，而上好的原料卻浪費掉了。
- 思想雖然無形，卻是永恒
或許你會認為金錢和財富是世界上最寶貴的東西，擁有了它就擁有一切。然而，金山可能在瞬間崩塌，財富也會在一夜間化為烏有。世界上惟一可靠的，取之不盡用之不竭的，就是我們的思想。思想創造一切，當然包括你希望擁有的金錢與財富。思想無形，卻是永恒，是最值得依靠的東西。
- 與宇宙精神保持一致
亙古以來宇宙精神已經存在，我們要做的就是調整自己思考力與之相適應。
- 衝動是魔鬼
我們常常將一時的衝動、莽撞、誤打誤撞看作是思想的力量的體現，其實這些隻是魚目混珠的贗品，雖然它們或多或少能產生成功的假象，讓人迷醉一時，但長久來看，它們非但無益，反而有害，甚至會讓你迷失了方向。
- 以積極的觀念取代消極的觀念
抱持消極、悲觀想法的人們，最終會收獲自己種下的惡果，而樂觀的人收獲的卻是成功與快樂。
- 勿要輕信命運
有些人相信他們的命運受控於一些神秘未知的力量，甚至迷信鬼神、整日沉醉在盲目無知的精神暗潮中。他們不明白這是一種讓他們變得消極、馴服、被動、失去信心的力量，最終將使他們精神耗盡，元氣大傷。他們至死也不明白正是他們的信仰消耗了他們的生命。
- 另外一種失敗者
另外還有一些人，他們看到了一些力量之源，並且也確實努力地進取。但遺憾的是他們卻沒能夠堅持到底。一旦意誌消退，行動隨之渙散，充斥其中的能量，轉瞬間就土崩瓦解。一句話，他們失之於堅持。
- 你不是一個人在戰鬥
- 以真理說服他人
真理無處不在，它是最好的辯論，足以讓任何固執的人信服。愚蠢的強迫他人服從你，如同催眠術對受摧眠者一樣，都隻是暫時性的滿足，雖然有一定的迷惑力，但被施術者終將覺醒，然後將施術者拋在一邊。
- 精神的力量令人折服
物質的世界如過眼煙雲，稍縱即逝，精神的力量永恒存在。精神力量才是真正的造物者，蘊藏著無限的魅力。精神的力量令人折服，對它的領悟越是透徹，它的力量就越是彰顯出來。
- 愛的法則
愛是永恒的基本法則，在萬物之中，在一切生命當中，愛無處不在。因為愛，思想被賦予了情感與活力。在愛的催化下，思想長大成熟；在愛的撫慰下，思想才能擁有永恒的力量，它創造了整個世界、整個宇宙，以及我們所能夠想到的萬事萬物。
- 愛無所不在
- 宇宙精神的物化
我們會發現，宇宙精神不僅僅是智慧，也是物質。為什麽會是這樣？原因就在於宇宙精神通過我們的思想，創造著一切，這個繽紛的世界正是由此而來。
- 思想與愛的結合
思想在愛的孕育中產生，愛的撫育使思想變得強大有力。思想和愛聯手，人類就會擁有不可阻擋的力量，所向無敵。這種力量就是引力法則。
- 精神世界孕育物質世界
世界上的任何事物都是先有“神”後有“形”，事物都是先在精神世界被創造出來，然後才以有形的方式展現在我們的麵前，精神世界孕育物質世界，隻有神形兼備才能完整。
- 用心體驗引力法則
或許，你尚未了解引力法則的全能力量，還不能對它加以充分運用。隻要你與自然法則協調一致，這種力量就會屬於你。而要做到這一點，你必須集中你的注意力。
- 一切蘊藏在潛意識當中
入靜、放鬆，深呼吸，仔細體驗你意識深處的那股厚重的能量。專注於你的心靈，然後，深邃的思想、睿智的談吐和一切至高的潛力都可以淋漓盡致地發揮出來。
- 入靜
粗心大意的人可能會認為，“入靜”非常簡單而且容易實現。然而入靜指的絕對不是外部環境的安靜，而是指你的內心。任何一個渴望智慧、思想或者不朽成就的人，都會在內心世界裏尋找那種安靜祥和的狀態。在這種狀態下，你的潛意識將會蘇醒，潛能會自發地噴湧而出。要記住，隻有在絕對寂靜的狀態下，才能夠觸摸到你身體裏最強大的那股力量，才能領悟到永恒不變的真理。

Part Twelve
Part Twelve is enclosed herewith. In the fourth paragraph you will find the following statement: "You must first have the knowledge of your power; second, the courage to dare; third, the faith to do." If you concentrate upon the thoughts given, if you give them your entire attention, you will find a world of meaning in each sentence, and will attract to yourself other thoughts in harmony with them, and you will soon grasp the full significance of the vital knowledge upon which you are concentrating.
Knowledge does not apply itself; we as individuals must make the application, and the application consists in fertilizing the thought with a living purpose.
The time and thought which most persons waste in aimless effort would accomplish wonders if properly directed with some special object in view. In order to do this, it is necessary to center your mental force upon a specific thought and hold it there, to the exclusion of all other thoughts. If you have ever looked through the viewfinder of a camera, you found that when the object was not in focus, the impression was indistinct and possibly blurred, but when the proper focus was obtained the picture was clear and distinct. This illustrates the power of concentration. Unless you can concentrate upon the object which you have in view, you will have but a hazy, indifferent, vague, indistinct and blurred outline of your ideal and the results will be in accordance with your mental picture.
PART TWELVE
1. There is no purpose in life that cannot be best accomplished through a scientific understanding of the creative power of thought.
2. This power to think is common to all. Man is, because he thinks. Man's power to think is infinite, consequently his creative power is unlimited.
3. We know that thought is building for us the thing we think of and actually bringing it nearer, yet we find it difficult to banish fear, anxiety or discouragement, all of which are powerful thought forces, and which continually send the things we desire further away, so that it is often one step forward and two steps backward.
4. The only way to keep from going backward is to keep going forward. Eternal vigilance is the price of success. There are three steps, and each one is absolutely essential. You must first have the knowledge of your power; second, the courage to dare; third, the faith to do.
5. With this as a basis you can construct an ideal business, an ideal home, ideal friends, and an ideal environment. You are not restricted as to material or cost. Thought is omnipotent and has the power to draw on the Infinite bank of primary substance for all that it requires. Infinite resources are therefore at your command.
6. But your ideal must be sharp, clear-cut, definite; to have one ideal today, another tomorrow, and a third next week, means to scatter your forces and accomplish nothing; your result will be a meaningless and chaotic combination of wasted material.
7. Unfortunately this is the result which many are securing, and the cause is self evident. If a sculptor started out with a piece of marble and a chisel and changed his ideal every fifteen minutes, what result could he expect? And why should you expect any different result in molding the greatest and most plastic of all substances, the only real substance?
8. The result of this indecision and negative thought is often found in the loss of material wealth. Supposed independence which required many years of toil and effort suddenly disappears. It is often found then that money and property are not independence at all. On the contrary, the only independence is found to be a practical working knowledge of the creative power of thought.
9. This practical working method cannot come to you until you learn that the only real power which you can have is the power to adjust yourself to Divine and unchangeable principles. You cannot change the Infinite, but you can come into an understanding of Natural laws. The reward of this understanding is a conscious realization of your ability to adjust your thought faculties with the Universal Thought which is Omnipresent. Your ability to cooperate with this Omnipotence will indicate the degree of success with which you meet.
10. The power of thought has many counterfeits which are more or less fascinating, but the results are harmful instead of helpful.
11. Of course, worry, fear, and all negative thoughts produce a crop after their kind; those who harbor thoughts of this kind must inevitably reap what they have sown.
12. Again, there are the Phenomena seekers who gormandize on the so-called proofs and demonstration obtained at materializing séances. They throw open their mental doors and soak themselves in the most poisonous currents which can be found in the psychic world. They do not seem to understand that it is the ability to become negative, receptive and passive, and thus drain themselves of all their vital force, which enables them to bring about these vibratory thought forms.
13. There are also the Hindu worshippers, who see in the materializing phenomena which are performed by the so-called adepts, a source of power, forgetting, or never seeming to realize that as soon as the will is withdrawn the forms wither, and the vibratory forces of which they are composed vanish.
14. Telepathy, or thought transference, has received considerable attention, but as it requires a negative mental state on the part of the receiver, the practice is harmful. A thought may be sent with the intention of hearing or seeing, but it will bring the penalty attached to the inversion of the principle involved.
15. In many instances, hypnotism is positively dangerous to the subject as well as the operator. No one familiar with the laws governing in the mental world would think of attempting to dominate the will of another, for by so doing, he will gradually (but surely) divest himself of his own power.
16. All of these perversions have their temporary satisfaction and for some a keen fascination, but there is an infinitely greater fascination in a true understanding of the world of power within, a power which increases with use; is permanent instead of fleeing; which not only is potent as a remedial agency to bring about the remedy for past error or results of wrong thinking, but is a prophylactic agency protecting us from all manner and form of danger, and finally is an actual creative force with which we can build new conditions and new environment.
17. The law is that thought will correlate with its object and bring forth in the material world the correspondence of the thing thought or produced in the mental world. We then discern the absolute necessity of seeing that every thought has the inherent germ of truth in order that the law of growth will bring into manifestation good, for good alone can confer any permanent power.
18. The principle which gives the thought the dynamic power to correlate with its object, and therefore to master every adverse human experience, is the law of attraction, which is another name for love. This is an eternal and fundamental principle, inherent in all things, in every system of Philosophy, in every Religion, and in every Science. There is no getting away from the law of love. It is feeling that imparts vitality to thought. Feeling is desire, and desire is love. Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible.
19. We find this truth emphasized wherever the power of thought is understood, The Universal Mind is not only Intelligence, but it is substance, and this substance is the attractive force which brings electrons together by the law of attraction so that they form atoms; the atoms in turn are brought together by the same law and form molecules; molecules take objective forms; and so we find that the law of love is the creative force behind every manifestation, not only of atoms, but of worlds, of the Universe, of everything of which the imagination can form any conception.
20. It is the operation of this marvelous law of attraction which has caused men in all ages and all times to believe that there must be some personal being who responded to their petitions and desires, and manipulated events in order to comply with their requirements.
21. It is the combination of Thought and Love which forms the irresistible force, called the law of attraction. All natural laws are irresistible, the law of Gravitation, or Electricity, or any other law operates with mathematical exactitude. There is no variation; it is only the channel of distribution which may be imperfect. If a bridge falls, we do not attribute the collapse to any variation of the law of gravitation. If a light fails us, we do not conclude that the laws governing electricity cannot be depended upon, and if the law of attraction seems to be imperfectly demonstrated by an inexperienced or uninformed person, we are not to conclude that the greatest and most infallible law upon which the entire system of creation depends has been suspended. We should rather conclude that a little more understanding of the law is required, for the same reason that a correct solution of a difficult problem in Mathematics is not always readily and easily obtained.
22. Things are created in the mental or spiritual world before they appear in the outward act or event. by the simple process of governing our thought forces today, we help create the events which will come into our lives in the future, perhaps even tomorrow. Educated desire is the most potent means of bringing into action the law of attraction.
23. Man is so constituted that he must first create the tools, or implements by which he gains the power to think. The mind cannot comprehend an entirely new idea until a corresponding vibratory brain cell has been prepared to receive it. This explains why it is so difficult for us to receive or appreciate an entirely new idea; we have no brain cell capable of receiving it; we are therefore incredulous; we do not believe it.
24. If, therefore, you have not been familiar with the Omnipotence of the law of attraction, and the scientific method by which it can be put into operation, or if you have not been familiar with the unlimited possibilities which it opens to those who are enabled to take advantage of the resources it offers, begin now and create the necessary brain cells which will enable you to comprehend the unlimited powers which may be yours by cooperating with Natural Law. This is done by concentration or attention.
25. The intention governs the attention. Power comes through repose. It is by concentration that deep thoughts, wise speech, and all forces of high potentiality are accomplished.
26. It is in the Silence that you get into touch with the Omnipotent power of the subconscious mind from which all power is evolved.
27. He who desires wisdom, power, or permanent success of any kind will find it only within; it is an unfoldment. The unthinking may conclude that the silence is very simple and easily attained, but it should be remembered that only in absolute silence may one come into contact with Divinity itself; may learn of the unchangeable law and open for himself the channels by which persistent practice and concentration lead to perfection.
28. This week go to the same room, take the same chair, the same position as previously; be sure to relax, let go, both mentally and physically; always do this; never try to do any mental work under pressure; see that there are no tense muscles or nerves, that you are entirely comfortable. Now realize your unity with omnipotence; get into touch with this power, come into a deep and vital understanding, appreciation, and realization of the fact that your ability to think is your ability to act upon the Universal Mind, and bring it into manifestation, realize that it will meet any and every requirement; that you have exactly the same potential ability which any individual ever did have or ever will have, because each is but an expression or manifestation of the One, all are parts of the whole, there is no difference in kind or quality, the only difference being one of degree.
Thought cannot conceive of anything that may not be brought to expression. He who first uttered it may be only the suggester, but the doer will appear.
Wilson
