Surely， enough has been stated to give a startingpoint from which one may， through experiment andpractice， acquire the ability to mix FAITH with anyorder given to the subconscious mind. Perfectionwill come through practice. It cannot come bymerely reading instructions.
If it be true that one may become a criminal byassociation with crime， （and this is a known fact），it is equally true that one may develop faith byvoluntarily suggesting to the subconscious mindthat one has faith. The mind comes， finally， to takeon the nature of the influences which dominateit. Understand this truth， and you will know whyit is essential for you to encourage the positiveemotions as dominating forces of your mind， anddiscourage—and eliminate negative emotions.
A mind dominated by positive emotions， becomesa favorable abode for the state of mind known asfaith. A mind so dominated may， at will， give thesubconscious mind instructions， which it will acceptand act upon immediately.
FAITH IS A STATE OF MIND WHICH MAY
BE INDUCED BY AUTO-SUGGESTION
All down the ages， the religionists have admonishedstruggling humanity to “have faith” in this， that， andthe other dogma or creed， but they have failed to tellpeople HOW to have faith. They have not stated that“faith is a state of mind， and that it may be inducedby self-suggestion.”
In language which any normal human being can understand， we will describe all that is knownabout the principle through which FAITH may bedeveloped， where it does not already exist.
Have Faith in yourself； Faith in the Infinite.
Before we begin， you should be reminded againthat：
FAITH is the “eternal elixir” which gives life，power， and action to the impulse of thought！
The foregoing sentence is worth reading a secondtime， and a third， and a fourth. It is worth readingaloud！
FAITH is the starting point of all accumulation ofriches！
FAITH is the basis of all “miracles，” and all mysterieswhich cannot be analyzed by the rules of science！
FAITH is the only known antidote for FAILURE！
FAITH is the element， the “chemical” which， whenmixed with prayer， gives one direct communicationwith Infinite Intelligence.
FAITH is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought， created by the finitemind of man， into the spiritual equivalent.
FAITH is the only agency through which the cosmicforce of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed andused by man.
EVERY ONE OF THE FOREGOING STATEMENTS IS
CAPABLE OF PROOF！
The proof is simple and easily demonstrated. It iswrapped up in the principle of auto-suggestion. Letus center our attention， therefore， upon the subject ofself-suggestion， and find out what it is， and what it iscapable of achieving.
It is a well known fact that one comes， finally，to BELIEVE whatever one repeats to one’s self，whether the statement be true or false. If a manrepeats a lie over and over， he will eventually acceptthe lie as truth. Moreover， he will BELIEVE it tobe the truth. Every man is what he is， because ofthe DOMINATING THOUGHTS which he permits tooccupy his mind. Thoughts which a man deliberatelyplaces in his own mind， and encourages withsympathy， and with which he mixes any one or moreof the emotions， constitute the motivating forces，which direct and control his every movement， act，and deed！
Comes， now， a very significant statement of truth：
THOUGHTS WHICH ARE MIXED WITH ANY OF THE FEELINGS OF EMOTIONS， CONSTITUTE A“MAGNETIC” FORCE WHICH ATTRACTS， FROM THE VIBRATIONS OF THE ETHER， OTHER SIMILAR， OR RELATED THOUGHTS. A thought thus “magnetized” with emotion may be compared to a seed which，when planted in fertile soil， germinates， grows， andmultiplies itself over and over again， until that whichwas originally one small seed， be-comes countlessmillions of seeds of the SAME BRAND！
The ether is a great cosmic mass of eternal forcesof vibration. It is made up of both destructivevibrations and constructive vibrations. It carries，at all times， vibrations of fear， poverty， disease，failure， misery； and vibrations of prosperity， health，success， and happiness， just as surely as it carries thesound of hundreds of orchestrations of music， andhundreds of human voices， all of which maintaintheir own individuality， and means of identification，through the medium of radio.
From the great storehouse of the ether， the humanmind is constantly attracting vibrations whichharmonize with that which DOMINATES the humanmind. Any thought， idea， plan， or purpose which oneholds in one’s mind attracts， from the vibrations ofthe ether， a host of its relatives， adds these “relatives“ to its own force， and grows until it becomes thedominating， MOTIVATING MASTER of the individualin whose mind it has been housed.
Now， let us go back to the starting point， andbecome informed as to how the original seed of anidea， plan， or purpose may be planted in the mind.
The information is easily conveyed： any idea， plan， orpurpose may be placed in the mind through repetitionof thought. This is why you are asked to write out astatement of your major purpose， or Definite ChiefAim， commit it to memory， and repeat it， in audiblewords， day after day， until these vibrations of soundhave reached your subconscious mind.
We are what we are， because of the vibrations ofthought which we pick up and register， through thestimuli of our daily environment.
Resolve to throw off the influences of any unfortunate environment， and to build your ownlife to ORDER. Taking inventory of mental assetsand liabilities， you will discover that your greatestweakness is lack of self-confidence. This handicapcan be surmounted， and timidity translated intocourage， through the aid of the principle ofautosuggestion. The application of this principle maybe made through a simple arrangement of positivethought impulses stated in writing， memorized， andrepeated， until they become a part of the workingequipment of the subconscious faculty of your mind.
