Remember， as you carry out these instructions，that you are applying the principle of autosuggestion，for the purpose of giving orders to yoursubconscious mind. Remember， also， that yoursubconscious mind will act ONLY upon instructionswhich are emotionalized， and handed over to itwith “feeling.” FAITH is the strongest， and mostproductive of the emotions. Follow the instructionsgiven in the chapter on FAITH.
These instructions may， at first， seem abstract. Donot let this disturb you. Follow the instructions， nomatter how abstract or impractical they may， at first，appear to be. The time will soon come， if you do asyou have been instructed， in spirit as well as in act，when a whole new universe of power will unfold toyou.
Scepticism， in connection with ALL new ideas， ischaracteristic of all human beings. But if you followthe instructions outlined， your scepticism will soonbe replaced by belief， and this， in turn， will soonbecome crystallized into ABSOLUTE FAITH. Thenyou will have arrived at the point where you maytruly say， “I am the master of my fate， I am thecaptain of my soul！”
Many philosophers have made the statement， that man is the master of his own earthly destiny，but most of them have failed to say why he is themaster. The reason that man may be the master ofhis own earthly status， and especially his financialstatus， is thoroughly explained in this chapter.
Man may become the master of himself， and ofhis environment， because he has the POWER TOINFLUENCE HIS OWN SUBCONSCIOUS MIND， and through it， gain the cooperation of InfiniteIntelligence.
You are now reading the chapter which representsthe keystone to the arch of this philosophy. Theinstructions contained in this chapter must beunderstood and APPLIED WITH PERSISTENCE， if yousucceed in transmuting desire into money.
The actual performance of transmuting DESIRE
into money， involves the use of auto-suggestion asan agency by which one may reach， and influence，the subconscious mind. The other principles aresimply tools with which to apply auto-suggestion.
Keep this thought in mind， and you will， at all times，be conscious of the important part the principleof auto-suggestion is to play in your efforts toaccumulate money through the methods described inthis book.
Carry out these instructions as though you were asmall child. Inject into your efforts something of theFAITH of a child. The author has been most careful，to see that no impractical instructions were included，because of his sincere desire to be helpful.

EVERY NIGHT， UNTIL YOU BECOME THOROUGHLY
CONVINCED THAT THE PRINCIPLE OF AUTOSUGGESTIONIS SOUND， THAT IT WILL ACCOMPLISHFOR YOU ALL THAT HAS BEEN CLAIMED FOR IT. AS

SENTENCE WHICH IMPRESSES YOU FAVORABLY.
