The Power of SubConscious Mind - Chapter 6

MENTAL MOVIE METHOD

The Chinese say"A picture is worth a thousand words." William James,

the father of American psychology, stressed the fact that the subconscious

mind will bring to pass any picture held in the mind and backed by faith. Act as

though I am, and I will be.
A number of years ago I was in the Middle West lecturing in several states,

and I desired to have a permanent location in the general area from which

I could serve those who desired help. I travelled far, but the desire didnot

leave my mind.One evening, while in a hotel in spokane , washington, I relaxed

completely on a couch, immobilized my attention, and in a quiet, passive

manner imagined that I was talking to a large audience, saying in effect, "I am

glad to be here; I have prayed for the ideal opportunity." I saw in my mind's

eye the imaginaryaudience, and I felt the reality of it all. I played the role

of the actor, dramatized this mental movie, and felt satisfied that this

picture was being conveyed to my subconscious mind, which would bring it

to pass in its own way. The next morning, on awakening, I felt a great

sense of peace and satisfaction, and in a few days time I received a telegram

asking jme to take over an organization in the Midwest, which I did, and I

enjoyed it immensely for several years.
The method outlined here appeals to many who have described it as "the

mental movie method." I have received numerous letters from people who listen

to my radio talks and weekly public lectures,telling me of the wonderful

results they get using this technique in the sale of their property. I suggest

to those who have homes or property for sale that they satisfy themselves in

their own mind that their price is right. Then, I claim that the Infinite

Intelligence is attracting to them the buyer who really wants to have the

property and who will love it and prosper in it. After having done this I

suggest that they quiet in their mind,relax, letgo,, and get into a

drowsy,sleepy state which reduces all mental effort to a minimum. Then, they

are to picture the check in their hands, rejoice in the check, give thanks for

the check, and go off to sleep feeling the naturalness of the whole mental

movie created in their own mind. They must act as though it were an objective

reality, and the subconscious mind will take it as an impression, and through

the deeper currents of the mind the buyer and the seller are brought

together. A mental picture held in the mind, backed by faith, will come to

pass.

When we come to analyze prayer we discoverthere are many different approaches and methods. We will not consider in this book the formal, ritual prayers used in religious services. These have an important place in group worship. We are immediately concerned with the methods of personal prayer as it is applied in your daily life and as it used to help others.
Prayer is the formulation of an idea concerning something we wish to accomplish. Prayer is the soul's sincere desire. Your desire is your prayer.It comes out of your deepest needs and it reveals the things you want in life. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. That is really prayer, life's hunger and thirst for peacem harmony,health,joy and all the other blessings of life.

THE VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE
The easiest and most obvious way to formulate an idea is to visualize it, to see it in your mind's eye as vividly as if it were alive. You can see with the naked eye only what already exists in the external world; in a similar way, that which you can visualize in your mind's eye already exists in the invisible realms of your mind. Any picture which you have in your mind is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. What you form in your imagination is as real as any part of your body. The idea and the thought are real and will one day appear in your objective world if you are faithful to your mental image.
This process of thinking forms impressions in your mind; these impressions in turn become manifested as facts and experiences in your life. The builder visualizes the type of bvuilding he wants; he sees it as he desires it to be completed. His imagery and thought-processes become a plastic mold from which the building will emerge - a beautiful or an ugly one, a skyscraper or a very low one. ?His mental imagery is projected as it is drawn on paper. Eventually, the contractor and his workers gather the essential materials, and the building progresses until it stands finished, conforming perfectly to the mental patterns of the architect.
I use the visualization technique prior to speaking from the platform. I quite wheels of my mind in order that I may present to the subconscious mind my images of thought. Then, I picture the entire auditorium and the seats filled with men and women, and each one of them illumined and inspired by the infinite healing presence within each one. I see them as radiant, happy,and free.
Having first built up the idea in my imagination ,I quietly sustain it there as a mental picture while I imagine I hear men and women saying, "I am healed" "I'm transformed". I keep this up for about ten minutes or more, knowing and feeling that each person mind and body are saturated with love,wholeness,beauty, and perfection. My awareness grows to the point where in my mind I can actually hear the voices of the multitude proclaiming their health and happiness; then I release the whole picture and go onto the platform. Almost every Sunday some people stop and say that their prayers we answered.
