136 the ones most commonly used in creative effort. Master these seven emotions
137 (they can be mastered only by USE), and the other positive emotions will be at
138 your command when you need them. Remember, in this connection, that you are
139 studying a book which is intended to help you develop a "money conscious-

143 The emotion of JEALOUSY
144 The emotion of HATRED
145 The emotion of REVENGE
146 The emotion of GREED

157 conscious mind is sufficient to destroy all chances of constructive aid from your
158 subconscious mind.
