How To Attract Success

On the objective plane, when our income is limited, it is necessary to adjust our expenses to such limits as long as we retain the consciousness of limitation but there is no reason why we should retain that limitation in our consciousness. On the other hand there is every reason why we should at once go to work and develop a consciousness which does not in any way recognize any limitations.

That is one step toward removing the objective limitations. When we have established the fixed habit in our lives of recognizing our oneness with everything we want, established it so firmly that it is just as natural as is the habit of breathing, then we will find that the way will be opened up on the objective plane for us to materialize whatever we may want just as rapidly as we determine that we really do want it and are willing to pay the price for obtaining it. The price to be paid under such conditions is to attract it to us under the Law of Harmony.

At a recent service in one of the New York churches the minister talked on Faith. In order to illustrate his point he related the following incident. He was fond of playing golf; a small lake was one of the hazards on the links he used; he had made it many times and had never failed in the attempt. At the time of this incident and just as he was about to make the drive a friend said Doctor, can you see the ball on the other side?

Should you not be able to see it there it will fall in the lake. He made the drive and the ball fell into the lake. Why?

Simply because he unconsciously allowed his friends image of seeing the ball fall into the lake to displace his own image of seeing the ball fall safely on the other shore. Had the friend given him the same image as his own, instead of giving him one of doubt, fear, anxiety or failure, the ball would have landed safely on the other shore as it always had done before.

Many times we have an image of success when some kind (?) friend, like that of the Doctors, gives to us an image of doubt or failure and we unconsciously recognize it, instead of our own image of success, and failure is the inevitable result. The man or woman who is successful is the one who has filled their imagination with images, visions, and ideas of success, and who displaces as often as is necessary all thoughts and images of failure and lack which may come to them from every source.

There is never a moment of our lives but what we are imagining or imaging something, and when we image lack in our environment and our separation from the abundance of supply, that is what we will materialize; but when we learn to image consciously and persistently the thing we want, to fill our imagination with the abundance of supply, with the abundance of money, of food, of clothing, of joy, of happiness, of success, and our oneness with it, it is just as sure to materialize for us in form on the objective plane, in accordance with the degree and persistency with which we intelligently apply these laws, as it is for us to absorb the air into our lungs whenever we breathe.

CHAPTER 15

The universal laws which make for success are the Law of Harmonious Attraction, the Law of Non-Resistance in its positive application, the Law of Conscious Imaging or Ideation, and the Law of Persistent Application. Under the Law of Harmonious Attraction we take an attitude which will make for harmony in our lives toward everything that comes to us.

No matter how inharmonious has been our attitude in the past we now refuse to let any person or any thing disturb our harmony. The moment we recognize that we are becoming inharmonious we at once change our attitude and get back under the Law of Harmony.
