the Art of Mental Pictures

Chapter 5 of the self-help classic the Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol is the Art of Mental Pictures.

Assume the virtue in your imagination. See yourself doing the thing and go ahead and just do it.

With vision, the people prosper. Act as if. Act as if you were confident and in control of your destiny.

Plant the right kind of seed and reap a rich harvest in due season, like a farmer.

A true mental picture is proper use of the imagination – a clear and dynamic desire.

Faith combined with works, deeds, action is alive and powerful.

“ If you can dream it – You can do it.”  – Walt Disney

Mind is your Supreme Commander

Chapter 3 of Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol involves the subconscious mind.

The conscious mind is the source of thought while the subconscious mind is the source of power. Thought power is your supreme commander.

A close harmony between the conscious and subconscious mind is a work of art that allows for the best results in life.

Subconscious power includes intuition, emotion, inspiration, imagination, psychic powers and dynamic energy.

Keeping your mind on what you do want assists in attracting your desires.

“ The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind

and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort.” – Claude Bristol

the Power of Thought

The Power of Thought inspired by Chapter 2 of the self help classic The Magic of Believing by Claude Bristol, revised for 2012.

Rolls-Royce luxury automobiles, F-22 jet airplanes and $150,000,000 exquisite mansions – where did they come from originally?

Only one source, from that creative force – THOUGHT. Obssessive thinking and a burning desire makes it so.

Keep your mind off the things you don’t want and on the things you do want. This is the secret to power and plenty.

Something more than hard work is necessary. It is creative thinking and firm belief in your ability to achieve your ideas.

All of our possessions came as a result of our creative thinking. Thought is the source of all wealth.

Successful people have succeeded through their thinking. Their hands were helpers to their brains.

“ There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” – William Shakespeare
