As A Man Thinketh



“As you think, that is what you become,” should be kept in the forefront of our minds constantly. For when you expect something wonderful to happen that is watching and praying without ceasing. At those times when we are not feeling quite up to par physically or our mind is becoming clouded with doubt, we should realize it is time to pray with all the more conviction or work at developing a stronger feeling of expectation. You must guard your mind constantly against doubt, because it is a crippling vibration. Whereas Expect An Abundance 101 most of the preceding pages have been dedicated to the power of positive thoughts (namely, the building of the image of prosperity), doubt is the flip side of the coin (i.e. negative thinking). And, when you are entertaining doubts, what you are actually doing is creating images of the things you don’t want. Moreover, justifying your doubt to yourself by originating reasons for it (i.e. rationalizing), will do you absolutely no good. You cannot strike a bargain with your subconscious mind, because the subconscious has no sense of fairness, no sense of humour, and it cannot even determine what is good or what is bad for you. Every image just IS, to the subconscious mind. Therefore, your negative, worrisome and doubtful images will be accepted just as quickly and as willingly as will your images of prosperity. The instant you become aware you are entertaining thoughts which create doubt, become quiet, start relaxing and image yourself already in possession of the prosperity you desire. When you do this, you are altering the mental current which is flowing into your marvelous mind. Expect, with all of your consciousness, to receive your good in your material world—“You think in secret and it comes to pass, environment is but your looking glass.” James Allen wrote those words three-quarters of a century ago, but they are still true today and they will always remain true in the future. So program your “personal computer” to expect good results and that is exactly what you will receive.
