How To Attract Success

Impressions have their origin solely in the objective side of life. They come as the result of the things we have learned on the objective plane through our physical senses. We may have learned them years ago, and perhaps forgotten, but they are stored up in the Intellect the Mental mind and come to us from that source. Having their origin in the objective world it depends on the basis or foundation on which they were originally built as to their value. Impressions are never safe to follow blindly because of the difficulty in determining their origin. It is interesting and instructive, sometimes, to follow them and see where they lead us. Many times this is the only way by which we learn to differentiate between them and our intuition.

CHAPTER 3

We all possess within us the power to unfold and develop, to the greatest perfection, every state of consciousness; in fact most of mankind manifest them all in some degree. We have persons who are over-developed in some one of these different states and underdeveloped in the others; these find it difficult to express rationally, or understand anything which is not directly related to or connected with their own particular state of consciousness or unfoldment.

Thus those who live continuously in the Inspirational, Intuitional or Revelational states these are more generally known as the emotional states to the exclusion of the Instinctive and Intellectual states, become so abnormal to the majority of mankind that they are called insane.

They are the Col. Mulberry Sellers of the financial world, having great, wonderful inspiration and oft-times intuition and revelation as well, but lacking the intellectual development which would enable them to materialize their wonderful visions in a practical way on the objective plane. On the other hand we have people who are over-developed intellectually; their intellect has made them as hard as flint; they are what the world calls practical men; their intellect is always in absolute control of every vibration; they would not permit of an increased heart beat nor allow themselves to be thrilled with an inspiration for anything; they pride themselves upon having absolute control of their emotions and would not allow any such a weakness to manifest in their lives; An emotional nature is all right for women and children, they say, but not for a man with red blood in his veins.

Such lives have yet to learn that it is not the emotional natures which are destructive any more than the mental, but it is the use to which we put such natures, such states of consciousness, which makes them constructive and successful or destructive and unsuccessful. The successful business man is one who has some development of his inspirational and intuitional faculties but who guides and directs (instead of repressing) their manifestations with an intelligent application of his intellect. When we live in any one of these states of consciousness to the exclusion of the others we can only relate with the things which are in its currents.

We obtain such things under the Laws which prevail and control in that state of consciousness, and we can only retain them under the same Laws. But when we develop ourselves and learn to express in all of these states of consciousness, joining them all together in one harmonious expression, we learn to get what we want, get it when we want it, and keep it as long as we want it. The Law under which we work in the Physical and Mental states of consciousness is the Law of Force. on the Physical plane; this Law is expressed purely as brute force; whoever is the strongest, physically, is the most successful in this state of consciousness whether he be man or animal.
