All down the ages, the religionists have admonished struggling humanity to “have faith” in this, that, and the other dogma or creed, but they have failed to tell people how to have faith. They have not stated that “faith is a state of mind, and that it may be induced by self-suggestion.”
In language which any normal human being can understand, we will describe all that is known about the principle through which faith may be developed, where it does not already exist.
Have faith in yourself; faith in the Infinite.
Before we begin, you should be reminded again that:
Faith is the “eternal elixir” which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!
The foregoing sentence is worth reading a second time, and a third, and a fourth. It is worth reading aloud!
- Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
- Faith is the basis of all “miracles,” and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!
- Faith is the only known antidote for failure!
- Faith is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.
- Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.
- Faith is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.
Every one of the foregoing statements is capable of proof!
The proof is simple and easily demonstrated. It is wrapped up in the principle of auto-suggestion. Let us center our attention, therefore, upon the subject of self-suggestion, and find out what it is, and what it is capable of achieving.
