Chapter IX How to Use the Power of Your Subconscious for Wealth If you are having difficulties, if you are trying to make ends meet, it means you have not convinced your subconscious mind that you will always have plenty and some to spare. You know men and women who work a few hours a week and make fabulous sums of money. They do not strive or slave hard. Do not believe the story that the only way you can become wealthy is by the sweat of your brow and hard labor. It is not so; the effortless way of life is the best. Do the thing you love to do and do it for the joy and thrill of it.

I know an executive in Los Angeles who receives a salary of $75,000 yearly. Last year he went on a nine month cruise seeing the world and its beauty spots. He said to me that he had succeeded in convincing his subconscious mind that he is worth that much money. He told me that many men in his organization getting about one hundred dollars a week knew more about the business than he did, and could manage it better, but they had no ambition, no creative ideas and were not interested in the wonders of their subconscious mind.

Wealth Is Of The Mind Wealth is simply a subconscious conviction on the part of the individual. You will not become a millionaire by saying, “I am a millionaire, I am a millionaire.” You will grow into a wealth consciousness by building into your mentality the idea of wealth and abundance.

Your Invisible Means Of Support The trouble with most people is that they have no invisible means of support. When business falls away, the stock market drops or they lost their investments, the seem helpless. The reason for such insecurity is that they do not know how to tap the subconscious mind. They are unacquainted with the inexhaustible storehouse within.

A man with a poverty type mind finds himself in poverty-stricken conditions. Another man with a mind filled with ideas of wealth is surrounded with everything he needs. It was never intended that man should lead a life of indigence. You can wealth, everything you need and plenty to spare. Your words have power to cleanse your mind of wrong ideas and to instill right ideas in their place.

The Ideal Method For Building A Wealth Consciousness Perhaps you are saying as you read this chapter, “I need wealth and success.” This is what you do: Repeat for about five minutes to yourself three or four times a day, “Wealth - Success.” These words have tremendous power. They represent the inner power of the subconscious mind. Anchor

You are not saying, “I am wealthy,” you are dwelling on real powers within you. There is no conflict in the mind when you say, “Wealth.” Furthermore, the feeling of wealth will well up within you as you dwell on the idea of wealth.

The feeling of wealth produces wealth; keep this in mind at all times. Your subconscious mind is like a bank, a sort of universal financial institution. It magnifies whatever you deposit or impress upon it whether it is the idea of wealth or of poverty. Choose wealth.

Why Your Affirmations For Wealth Fail I have talked to many people during the past thirty-five years whose usual complaint is, “I have said for weeks and months, 'I am wealthy, I am prosperous,' and nothing has happened.” I discovered that when they said, “I am wealthy, I am prosperous,” they felt that they were lying to themselves.

One man told me, “I have affirmed that I am prosperous until I am tired. Things are now worse. I knew when I made the statement that it was obviously not true.” His statements were rejected by the conscious mind, and the very opposite of what he outwardly affirmed and claimed was made manifest.

Your subconscious accepts what you really feel to be true, not just idle words or statements. The dominant idea or belief is always accepted by the subconscious mind.

Make this practical statement frequently, particularly prior to sleep: “By day and by night I am being prospered in all of my interests. “ This affirmation will not arouse any argument because it does not contradict your subconscious mind's impression of financial lack.

I suggested to one businessman whose sales and finances were very low and who was greatly worried, that he sit down in his office, become quiet, and repeat this statement over and over again: “My sales are improving every day.” This statement engaged the cooperation of the conscious and subconscious mind; results followed.
