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.
