OPEN YOUR MIND AND LEARN “To learn you need a certain degree of confidence, not too much and not too little. If you have too little confidence, you will think you can’t learn. If you have too much, you will think you don’t have to learn.” ERIC HOFFER “A person’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfolding — in other words, his right to be rich.” WALLACE D. WATTLES “Curious how we acquire wisdom! Over and over again, the same truth is thrust under our very noses. We encounter it in action; we are admonished of it; we read it in the written word. We suffer the experience; we gradually assent to the advice; we approve, intellectually, the written word. But nothing happens inside us. Then, one day, some trivial experience or word or encounter stops us short. A gleam of illumination penetrates the depth of our consciousness. We see! Usually it is but a glimpse; but on rare occasions a brilliant flash reveals truth fully formed. And we marvel that this understanding has escaped us so long.” STEWART EDWARD WHITE & HARWOOD WHITE 3 © 2015 Proctor Gallagher Institute

UNDERSTANDING PRECEDES CHANGE To bring order and understanding to your mind, you must have an image to work with. Since your mind is the unseen part of your personality, you must engage your imagination to build this image. This can be accomplished with ... THE STICKPERSON. The stickperson, like all other ideas presented in the seminar, is extremely simple. Do not allow the apparent simplicity to deceive you, for the stickperson concept can reveal to you a wonderful world of power, possibility and promise. This seminar is built upon the premise that you have a power within you that is far superior to any condition or circumstance around you. With FREE WILL, your thoughts direct this power to whatever results you choose in this lifetime.

THE CONSCIOUS MIND This is the part of you that thinks and reasons. Your free will lies here. This is the part of your mind that will decide how much money you want to earn. The conscious mind can accept or reject any idea. No person or circumstance can cause you to think about thoughts or ideas you do not choose. The “thoughts” you choose eventually determine the results in your life. All pain, pleasure, or limitation is either originated in the conscious mind, or accepted uncritically from an outside source. As you accept a thought, it is impressed upon the second part of your personality (see part 2). “You become what you think about.”

THE SUB-CONSCIOUS MIND This part of you is certainly the most magnificent; it is the power center. It functions in every cell of your body. Every thought your conscious mind chooses to accept, this part must accept ... it has no ability to reject. This part of you operates in an orderly manner. “By Law,” it expresses itself through you, in feelings and action. Any thought you consciously choose to impress upon the sub-conscious over and over, becomes fixed in this part of your personality. Fixed ideas will then continue to express themselves without any conscious assistance, until they are replaced. (Fixed ideas are more commonly referred to as habits.) The sub-conscious mind is the God-like part of you, referred to as Spirit. It knows no limits, save those you consciously choose.

THE BODY Although this is the most obvious part of you, the material medium, it is merely the instrument of the mind, or the house you live in. The thoughts or images that are consciously chosen, impressed upon the sub-conscious (which is in every cell of your body), must move your body into action. The actions you are involved in determine your results. No. 1 — Thoughts, No. 2 — Feelings,

151 © 2016 Proctor Gallagher Institute

152 © 2016 Proctor Gallagher Institute

“Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the Formless, and the creative forces set in motion.” WALLACE D. WATTLES

172 © 2016 Proctor Gallagher Institute

“Visualizing without a will sufficiently steady to inhibit every thought and feeling contrary to your picture would be as useless as a magic lantern without the light.” GENEVIÈVE BEHREND

174 © 2016 Proctor Gallagher Institute

176 © 2016 Proctor Gallagher Institute

“Many people ask, “But why should we have a physical world at all?” The answer is: Because it is the nature of originating substance to solidify, under directivity rather than activity, just as it is the nature of wax to harden when it becomes cold, or plaster of paris to become firm and solid when exposed to the air.” GENEVIÈVE BEHREND
