AUTO-SUGGESTION 79
55 Plain, unemotional words do not influence the subconscious mind. You will get
56 no appreciable results until you learn to reach your subconscious mind with
57 thoughts, or spoken words which have been well emotionalized with BELIEF.
58 Do not become discouraged, if you cannot control and direct your emotions the
59 first time you try to do so. Remember, there is no such possibility as
60 SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. Ability to reach, and influence your
61 subconscious mind has its price, and you MUST PAY THAT PRICE. You
62 cannot cheat, even if you desire to do so. The price of ability to influence your
63 subconscious mind is everlasting PERSISTENCE in applying the principles
64 described here. You cannot develop the desired ability for a lower price. You,
65 and YOU ALONE, must decide whether or not the reward for which you are
66 striving (the "money consciousness"), is worth the price you must pay for it in
67 effort.
68 Wisdom and "cleverness" alone, will not attract and retain money except in a few
69 very rare instances, where the law of averages favors the attraction of money
70 through these sources. The method of attracting money described here, does not
71 depend upon the law of averages. Moreover, the method plays no favorites. It
72 will work for one person as effectively as it will for another. Where failure is
73 experienced, it is the individual, not the method, which has failed. If you try and
74 fail, make another effort, and still another, until you succeed.
75 Your ability to use the principle of auto-suggestion will depend, very largely,
76 upon your capacity to CONCENTRATE upon a given DESIRE until that desire
77 becomes a BURNING OBSESSION.
78 When you begin to carry out the instructions in connection with the six steps
79 described in the second chapter, it will be necessary for you to make use of the
80 principle of CONCENTRATION.
81 Let us here offer suggestions for the effective use of concentration. When you
82 begin to carry out the first of the six steps, which instructs you to "fix in your
83 own mind the EXACT amount of money you desire," hold your thoughts on
84 that amount of money by CONCENTRATION, or fixation of attention, with
