    Study Notes

    Faith as a Powerful Force

    • Faith is the "head chemist" of the mind, translating thoughts into their spiritual equivalents and communicating them to Infinite Intelligence.
    • Faith, Love, and Sex, when combined, powerfully affect thought, instantly reaching the subconscious mind.
    • Love and faith are spiritual, while sex is biological. Combining them opens communication with Infinite Intelligence.

    Developing Faith

    • Faith can be cultivated by autosuggestion — repeated affirmations to the subconscious mind.
    • Believing in receiving your desired outcome, even through autosuggestion, fosters faith, leading to concrete plans for achieving your goals.
    • Faith develops through voluntary application of principles — repetition and affirmation to the subconscious is crucial.
    • Continued exposure to a negative influence can convert aversion to acceptance. Similarly, repeated positive affirmations build faith.

    Faith and Subconscious Mind

    • Any thought with feeling and faith translates into physical reality.
    • Emotions (particularly Faith, Love, and Sex) provide vitality and direction to thoughts. They can strengthen the effect of ideas significantly.
    • Negative thoughts, emotions, and beliefs lead to misfortune through mental acceptance.

    The Power of Belief

    • Faith is the element that dictates the subconscious mind's actions.
    • Act as if the desired outcome is already present to increase belief.
    • Perfection in faith comes from practice to strengthen belief, not just instructions.
    • People become what their dominating thoughts and impulses create.

    Faith and Success

    • Faith is the cornerstone of all religions.
    • Faith is evidenced through inspirational figures such as Mahatma Gandhi.

    • The accumulation of wealth is closely tied to an idea’s presentation with faith.
    • The creation of U.S. Steel demonstrates the potential of a powerful IDEA combined with Faith, imagination, persistence, and a burning desire for success.

    Law of Autosuggestion

    • The Law of Autosuggestion shapes individual success or failure.
    • Positive autosuggestion cultivates self-confidence, while negative autosuggestion creates mental barriers.
    • Faith, driven by autosuggestion, is demonstrated by figures like Abraham Lincoln.
    • The law of autosuggestion works both constructively and destructively—success depends on the direction of thought.
    • Autosuggestion is a law of nature.
