%&AT do we mean by the $pirit o a thing(ne re)uently hears the expression *&eenters into the spirit o a thing* and it will beo value to us to examine the phrase care ullyand try to arrive at its exact meaning. Thesimplest way to achieve our ob+ect is to take ahypothetical case.

et us suppose that some man realises thatthere is an immense need or supplying theunemployed with ree meals! and proceeds toorganise a movement to achieve this ob+ect.,nable to do the whole +ob single handed! heenlists the aid o other people and asks them*to enter into the spirit* o the thing. #n actual

act! he asks them to share his attitude o mind towards the ob+ect he has in view. #n

other words he endeavours to reproduce inthem that )uality o li e which inspired him tobring his movement and organi-ation intoexistence.

That is precisely the ob+ect in introducing toyou very brie y the whole ascinating sub+ecto Mental $cience. #t is intended that youshould share the creative attitude o mind!which originated the ,niverse and itsinhabitants.

There are certain ,niversal aws in constantand evident operation all around us! and! byattaining some grasp o their principles! wemay use the power inherent in them to help

ourselves through our daily troubles andperplexities. %e can! metaphorically speaking!bring our water wheel into appropriate contact

with the main stream and cause it to turn ourparticular mill.

# then! we examine the course o the worldaround us! we fnd that continuous /rogress orMovement is being mani ested! and we musttry to trace to its source that /ower whichcauses the evolution that is so obviouslyinherent in everything.

$cientists have made it very clear to us that itis no use to look or that /ower in the physicalworld! or they have reduced all materialthings to nothing more or less than *changedspace.*

And here! # expect! you pull up with a +erk andsay *# don't )uite understand that lastsentence!* 0ight! let us re"state it.

$cientists have proved to us that there musthave been! at the beginning o all creation! a,niversal $ubstance which! by the action o some (utside 1orce 2the identity o which wewill examine later3! set in motion a process o change. This process consisted o the gradualbuilding up o the universe and its inhabitantsby successive stages o evolution. #n otherwords! the universe and its beings are nothingmore than ,niversal $ubstance which hasundergone trans ormation. There! there ore!

remains that essential basic actor to beremembered that! )uite literally! *4e are all(ne.*

$o much or the /hysical and Material$ubstance.

The Spirit

#5 the last section we were brought ace to

ace with the realisation that there was aMotive /ower which acted on the ,niversal$ubstance to produce the chain o changewhich is known to us as Evolution.

et us examine this /ower or i e /rinciple inaction on our own bodies and in the naturalworld around us.

$o long as a ower is animated by the i e1orce! or! as we say! as long as it is alive!there is growth and increase. As soon as the

i e 1orce commences a sel "withdrawal! thendisintegration sets in and the ower decaysand dies. (ur own bodies are reducible to a

chemical ormula and! without the i e 1orce!they also proceed with change and decay. #nact! we fnd that all *things* are in a process

o disintegration unless the i e 1orce ispresent. The i e 1orce there ore can besummed up as a Power whichorganises matter and arrests the natural

process o matter which is 6isorgani-ation and6isintegration.

7ut i e is an (rgani-ing 1orce su8cientlyselective and discriminating in its action tooriginate and maintain a recogni-able 9osmic/lan. #n other words it is a $pirit"#ntelligence o limitless capacity.

The ob+ect o our study must there ore be torealise that we ourselves and all things aroundus are merely the expressions ormani estations on the material plane o the All(riginating $pirit. (r to put it more simply! weare all ormed rom the same original,niversal $ubstance by the action o the $ame#ntelligence upon that $ubstance.

%e can at once decide that the characteristico $pirit"#ntelligence is Thought! so let us see!

by means o a simple illustration! where weare now heading.

# am typing these words at a desk on whichthere is a bowl o owers. #n examining these

owers # fnd that my knowledge o them islimited! entirely! to my own physical capacity

or perception. # know their orm only throughmy eyesight. # know their colour by the samemeans. # know their scent by my sense o smell! and there ore # am entirely dependenton my physical ftness and completeness ormy appreciation o their 7eauty. 7ut i # am tofnd the everlasting all"7eauti ul! all"/er ect!and all":ood! it is to the infnite capacity o myMind and Thought that # am compelled to turn.

Exactly the same principle is ound in the worko any creative artist. # we examine the caseo a painter o a picture! we fnd that his

fnished work may all ar short o its originalmental image which he frst conceived in hisimagination. 7ut i that picture stirs up in thebeholder a realisation o that primal mentalpicture! then it has reproduced in him thespirit that was the essence o causation o thepicture.

Take the instance o our own bodies. # there isthe per ect 7ody on the psychic plane whilstthe physical 7ody is diseased! the reason orthat disease lies in the mind which is the onlyconceivable channel between the psychic andthe physical planes. (n this act the wholeprinciple o mental healing is built up and thecomplete success in dealing with widelydiversifed diseases o many spiritual andmental healers is a ully ade)uate proo o thecorrectness o the principle.

&ere is a rough summary o the acts at whichwe have arrived at so ar! and which! i you

wish! you may accept without worryingyoursel unduly in an e;ort to completelyunderstand all that # have ound it necessaryto say to arrive at them.

The ,niverse and its inhabitants can betreated as a single entity made rom the samespecial ether by a /rocess o 9hange as theresult o a defnite 9osmic aw o Evolution.

The physical world as we know it is not the,ltimate 0eality! but is a materialisation o what frst exists on the psychic plane! i.e. inthe immaterial realm o thought.

5othing can exist on the physical plane that isnot frst conceived on the psychic plane.

Evolution and change is controlled by $piritwhich is all"/ervading.

$pirit acts through individualised man andthrough all li e orms by the /rinciple or aw o Attraction which will explained in detail urtheron.

The Machine

The Mind

E<E04(5E has heard o the conscious mindand the subconscious mind! and there is atendency to regard them as two completelyseparate units. This is an entirely misleading

view. They are no more separate than twodi;erent parts o the same room. #n act! thatis an analogy which we can pursue rather

urther! and liken the mind to a huge roomwith a light in only one end o it! so that only asmall portion is illuminated with any degree o brightness! and beyond its immediate rays

there is a space o shadows and twilight! and

Page 8: Changing Reality With Your Mind

8/11/2019 Changing Reality With Your Mind

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/changing-reality-with-your-mind 8/33

urther still we fnd absolute darkness.

%e may imagine a steady progression o people into the brightly"lighted area. $omecome rom the dark shadows o the room!whilst others come in rom outside! but theyall go the same way in the end=into theshadows and into the darkness.

&ere is the key to the analogy. The brightly"lighted area is the conscious mind andcontains those thoughts 2people3 which we areat this moment thinking. They may be newthoughts and impressions which have come in

rom outside or they may be old thoughtswhich have been stored up in the darkness butwhich we have recalled to the light.

%here the light is not good! but vision is stillpossible! we fnd those thoughts which arewithin immediate recall! i.e.! memory> orthoughts in some way related to those in ulllight.

%hat is in the darkness or subconscious mindwe will deal with in a moment.

et me! with another illustration! try to makethe matter clearer to you.

$upposing you were in a hall listening to alecture. The speaker and his matter would bein your conscious mind. ?ust beyond its rangeyou would fnd other matters o which youmight be partially conscious. 1or instance! that

Page 9: Changing Reality With Your Mind

8/11/2019 Changing Reality With Your Mind

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/changing-reality-with-your-mind 9/33

the seats were hard or that the hall was toocold. And a little urther still rom the centre o complete consciousness! we would fnd those

thoughts which might! at an instant! be calledto the centre by some remark o the speaker'swhich! momentarily! made you think o something else. 1or instance! the mention o

ood might conceivably bring to the centre o consciousness the thought that you weregoing to be late or your dinner.

1inally! we fnd the complete darkness orsubconscious mind with which this section isprimarily designed to deal.

A man lives in accordance with his belie s! andhis belie s are the result o the credit or debitbalance o the contents o his subconscious

mind.As it is so much simpler to drive home a pointby means o an illustration! let us continue theanalogy o the dark part o the room and itsinhabitants.

# we penetrate the darkness we fnd that theroom is large enough to accommodate everyperson 2thought3 that comes in. There isample space or all and not a single one getssu;ocated. 7ut on closer examination we fndthat they are not pushed in anyhow! but arecare ully grouped according to the interestthey may have in common! and are labelledwith the name o that interest! and even if

Page 10: Changing Reality With Your Mind

8/11/2019 Changing Reality With Your Mind

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/changing-reality-with-your-mind 10/33

their views on their common interest aretotally opposed to each other, they nevertheless join the group.

5ow let us take a hypothetical case and seethe subconscious mind at work.

$uppose you! reader! have never in your li eseen a dog. Then in your subconscious mindthere will be a label with the word *6og* on itbut with! so ar! no group o thoughts to whichto attach it. Then one day you hear a noiseand someone says that it is a dog barking.#mmediately the thought that a dog issomething that barks goes down and takes itsplace under the label *6og.* And so on as yourin ormation about dogs grows! so the group o thoughts under that label gradually increases.

Then perhaps someone says that a dog hasfve legs. 6own goes that thought and takesits place in the group even though you mayhave seen a dog and so know that the thoughis a alse one.

5o thought or impression entering the mind isever lost. Every thought or impression youhave ever received! even rom pre"natalexistence! right through your li e! is storedunder its appropriate label in yoursubconscious mind until your death=anda ter.

#n the frst section above! we decided that the/sychic i e":iving ,rge is an organising orce

Page 11: Changing Reality With Your Mind

8/11/2019 Changing Reality With Your Mind

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/changing-reality-with-your-mind 11/33

when brought into association with matter!and! as scientists have shown us! we fndtherein the greatest proo o survival a ter

death! because it is surely common sense tostate that that 1orce which organises andcontrols the indestructible! is itsel Eternal.

%hen 6eath takes place! there ore! the mindshakes itsel ree o all that is physical andlimited! and the 0eal 4ou! which is the sumtotal! on balance! o your subconscious mind!emerges! untrammelled any longer by aconsciousness o physical conditions andsurroundings! to complete reedom o action

or urther experience on other less materialplanes.

To return to our illustration o the *6og":roup*

o thoughts as given above. # you are askedwhether a dog has our legs or fve! youranswer is the result o a balance o thethoughts contained in that group. $o are youractions all through your li e. $o the health o your subconscious mind is o primaryimportance to you and is certainly worthy o

still urther consideration.A great truth lies in the analogy o the mind asa room o 6arkness and ight! or thesubconscious mind works completely *in thedark!* whilst the conscious mind workscompletely *in the light.*

The conscious mind! because it works in the

Page 12: Changing Reality With Your Mind

8/11/2019 Changing Reality With Your Mind

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/changing-reality-with-your-mind 12/33

light! is able to check up or reason about anyin ormation given to it! and need not react tothat in ormation! but the subconscious mind

accepts as literal and complete truth everystatement made to it and immediately sets towork to act upon it.

1or instance! i a man is seated in a chair andhypnotised=by which we mean that hisconscious mind is temporarily put to sleep=and then he is told that he is swimming in arough sea! the subconscious mind will proceedto make the man go through all the motions o swimming or even o exhaustion. 7ut an un"hypnotised man! in ull possession o hisconscious aculties! will immediately re+ect thesuggestion that he is in the sea=he knowsthat he is sa ely in a chair and that is all thereis to it as ar as he is concerned.

The habitual liar does actually begin to believehis or her own lies! because he or she has toldthem so o ten and lived them so consistentlythat on balance in their subconsciousmind they are the Realities.

To cure him or her and straighten them out!there ore! there must be given them anade)uate number o truth"thoughts to ensurethe balance working out on the right side.

%hat else does the subconscious mind dobeside contain our belie s

#t also directly controls all those actions o the

body which we regard as automatic whetherthey be glandular! muscular or nervous. Allour unctional activities are guided by the

subconscious mind.

Creative Power

This section is o great importance and # askyou to realise it to the ull! as it is on these

oundations that the whole structure o the

/ractice o Mental $cience is built.%e have seen that the only conceivable/rimary $ource o the 9reation lies in Thoughtand that everything created is there ore amani estation o the (riginating Thought. 5owwe go a step urther! in linking ourselves tothe /owers that 7e! when we realise that ourown mind is there ore the mani estation o theoriginating Thought. #n other words! our mindis a distributing centre or the entire /ower"in"Action o the originating Thought.

7ut we have the :od"given iberty o <olition!and we can there ore sum up our discovery bysaying that! through our mind! we have at ourdisposal all the /ower and 0esource o theoriginating $pirit! which created all thingsseen and unseen.

&erein! students o the 7ible will fnd the realmeaning o the statement that we are created

in the image and likeness o :od.

#mmediately ollowing the appreciation o theoregoing sentences it becomes reasonable to

ask *why then! with all this /ower at our

disposal! do we remain hindered andrepressed by antagonistic environment (rwhy! indeed! does antagonistic environmentexist *

To answer these )uestions e;ectively we mustconsider care ully what is known as*suggestion.*

#n dealing with the subconscious mind we sawthat the habitual liar comes to believe in theirown lies. %e decided that this was so becausehe or she had told the lie so o ten that itbecame a reality to them. This is what ismeant by suggestion. A *suggestion* is astatement so repeated and en orced that itbecomes or the subconscious mind a truth.

5ow we can see the vicious circle in which weare. %e look at the adverse conditions aroundus and give our subconscious mind a strongsuggestion o limitation. /eople around us are

su;ering rom poverty and disease and oursubconscious mind assimilates the suggestionthat such conditions constitute reality! andproceeds to evolve those conditions or us!unless we are strong enough to counter thenegative suggestion with a su8ciently stronga8rmative suggestion.

7y ade)uate a8rmative suggestion! we can

Page 15: Changing Reality With Your Mind

alter our surroundings and a realisation o thisact is summed up in the phrase ''5othing

succeeds like success.'' This simply means

that the frst small success acted as ana8rmative suggestion which led to the nextand perhaps slightly larger success. And soon! ad in nitum.

An Interpolation

MA54 books on /sychology are written interms that savour o religion. The phraseologyis ecclesiastical in tone and the words *:od**9hrist!* *&eaven!* appear regularly and as anintegral part o the teaching expounded.

Those are the books that are right.

$o ar! on this website! # have purposelyavoided all direct re erence to the 6eity! but itcould not be completed satis actorily on those

lines. The greatest handbook on Mental$cience is the 7ible and the :rand Master o Mental $cience is ?esus 9hrist.

Any books that are written on /sychology orMental $cience are! o necessity! plagiarisms.

The whole /rinciple and /ractice is given indetail right throughout the 7ible and itremains the only su8cient guide to the Art o

come.Man is a ,nity with three modes o li e=$piritual! /sychic and 9orporeal. The )ualityand e8cacy o all our actions is the result o the interaction o 7ody! $oul and $pirit! andwe must get very clearly set in ront o us thatall three modes o being are necessary. (ver"emphasis on any one or two o these is sin.

This is very easily seen i we ade)uatelyconsider the matter.

To live only in the /hysical aspect o our beingis to become materialistic. %e become limitedto what can be realised by our physical senses

alone. %e should then be concentratingexclusively on that which is but acorrespondence o the /er ect instead o onthe /er ect itsel .

An illustration such as we have used be orewill clari y the matter. et us think o an artistwho! in his imagination! conceives a per ectpicture! but whose completed work alls arshort o what he intended. &e decides to makealterations. To do so success ully he must notsimply regard the picture and say *what can #do to it * &e must recreate in his imaginationthe original intention and then compare. 5oconstructive evolution! can be accomplishedthrough materialism alone.

Service and #eneralisation

T&E0E are two other aspects o MentalAttitude either o which re)uires a small bookdevoted entirely to it! but we will endeavour togive them in rough here.

The frst is summed up in the word *$ervice.*%e have already regarded each one o us asan agent or the #nfnite /ower o $upply! and!i we continue that view o the position! we willrealise that the success ul agent is the onewho concentrates all their energies on*passing on* the goods or which they areagent. &e or she does not waste their timeendeavouring to store up the goods but triesto keep them moving as ast and as reely asthey can.

# you are a garage proprietor! and have beenappointed district agent or a leading make o motor car! you would naturally do everythingin your power to ensure a big outlet or themodels as they come through to you rom thesupplier. # you simply stored them in yourgarage! and made no e;ort o any kind to passthem on to others! all your available spacewould be very soon flled! and your supplierwould seek another and more progressive

agent.

The same thing exactly applies in your mentalattitude towards your own supplies as theycome rom the #nfnite $upplier.

/resumably you are going to use Mental$cience to ensure or you an ade)uate supplyo happiness! service! peace and love.

There ore you must act as agent or thesethings and pass them on reely to any andeveryone with whom you come into contact!otherwise the stream will be dammed and the

ow o #nfnite supply will cease as far as youare concerned and will fnd other and reerchannels through which to progress. :et it intoyour head that to have resh supplies youmust make room by passing on what youalready have.

The other aspect is summed up in the word*:eneralisation.* #n your asking or supply!concentrate on the end! not on the means tothe end. et me illustrate that statement asclearly as # can. $uppose you want money withwhich to purchase a home o your own oryour wi e and children. 6o not concentrate

your mental powers on the money but uponthe happiness! peace! and contentment whichsuch a home will bring.

The reason or this becomes obvious i youre ect or a moment. /eace! &appiness and9ontentment are your aims! but there may be)uite one hundred ways by which they maycome to you. All o them are known to the All"
