The man who fearing loss of present pleasures or material comforts, denies Truth within him, can be injured, and robbed, and degraded, and trampled upon, because he has first injured, robbed and degraded, and trampled upon his own nobler self; but man of steadfast virtue, of unblemished integrity, cannot be subject to such conditions, because he has denied craven self within him and has taken refuge in Truth. It is not scourge and chains which make a man a slave, but fact that he is a slave.

Slander, Accusation, and malice cannot affect righteous man, nor call from him any bitter response, nor does he need to go about to defend himself and prove his innocence. His innocence and integrity alone are a sufficient answer to all that hatred may attempt against him. Nor can he ever be subdued by forces of darkness, having subdued all those forces within himself; but he turns all evil things to good account - out of darkness he brings light, out of hatred love, out of dishonour honour; and slanders, envies, and misrepresentations only serve to make more bright jewel of Truth within him, and to glorify his high and holy destiny.

Let man of integrity rejoice and be glad when he is severely tried; let him be thankful that he has been given an opportunity of proving his loyalty to noble principles which he has espoused; and let him think: "Now is hour of holy opportunity! Now is day of triumph for Truth! Though I lose whole world I will note desert right!" So thinking, he will return good for evil, and will think compassionately of wrong-doer.

The slanderer, backbiter, and wrong-doer may seem to succeed for a time, but Law of Justice prevails; man of integrity may seem to fail for a time, but he is invincible, and in none of worlds, visible or invisible, can there be forged a weapon that shall prevail against him.

Anyone who is prepared to take necessary time to strengthen themselves by confronting their fears is guaranteed a clear path to mind power.

The subconscious mind is analytical. It creates, computes, plots, plans and NEVER makes a mistake! It is this part of mind that we use least but rely on most. The subconscious mind knows your desire and when it receives relevant information it organises them into a plan to enable your to reach whatever that desire happens to be. When it has finished computing information it brings results to your conscious mind by way of an idea.

Do you feed negative thoughts and images into your subconscious mind? Thoughts of fear and failure?

Thoughts of not having enough? Your subconscious will loyally compute this information to bring you what you're focusing on. If you feed it thoughts of happiness, success and abundance then it will loyally compute this information to bring you what you are focusing on.

Your subconscious mind gives you exactly what you ask for so be very careful what you think!

Practice rehearsing future as you would like it to be. See your desires and goals clearly. Cut pictures from magazines and place them where you can see them often. Now add emotion and feeling to visualisation you've created - how does it feel to be living life of your dreams?

Your subconscious mind can only work with data it has available just like a computer. Feed your subconscious with images and feelings surrounding your desires and let it work with that data to produce outcome. Don't concentrate on how you'll achieve your desire - leave that to your subconscious but be alert for any little nudges that life may present you with.

Do you have a problem that needs dealing with right now? Write it out on paper in as much detail as possible then write as many solutions to problem as you can - include every solution no matter how unlikely you think it may be. Now look at those solutions again and eliminate those that will not produce a solution. Repeat process until you have a small number of solutions remaining and then hand it over to your subconscious to work on.

As you hand problem over tell your subconscious what you're doing. Use a simple phrase such as "I'm now handing this over to my subconscious to find a solution". Now forget problem and let your subconscious get to work for you. If thoughts of problem resurface surround them with a speech bubble, acknowledge bubble and let it pop. Soon enough a solution to your problem will present itself as an idea -maybe like a light bulb flashing on in your mind with thought "why didn't I think of that".
