How To Be and Have What You Want.

First, you should endeavor to learn to be as near the perfect reflection of your own idea of God as possible, in thought and action. It may seem impossible at first thought, to even approach such a goal, but reflection upon the thought that God made you out of Himself, because He wished to see and feel Himself in you, will help you to persevere. When you first began to learn to read, no doubt you felt in your childish way that it would be wonderful to read as well as the grown-ups could; you kept on trying and then you read. Perhaps you have a big desire which you would give your life to have fulfilled. In reality it is only necessary for you to give a few moments each day to earnest effort, in getting into the spirit of this idea of God and living in it every waking hour. Then endeavor to find the Spiritual Prototype for your desire. By this I mean inhibit all thought of the physical side of your desire.If you desire a true companion, close your mind entirely to all personality and physical being, and dwell in thought and feeling on the spirit of love and true comradeship, without reference to any physical person. The person is the instrument through which these particular qualities manifest, and not the qualities themselves, as we often learn too late.
Or you may desire improved financial condition. Here again it is not mere money you desire. It is that which money symbolizes --Substance, Liberty, Freedom from lack. Therefore, you should go alone night and morning (or any time when you are certain you will not be disturbed) and meditate first upon your own true relation to God. After your feeling has been stimulated to the point of certainty, then meditate upon the ever-present, never-failing substance and freedom of God. Try not to lose sight of the fact that the greatest magnet for acquiring money is Ideas. There is every reason that you should capture one of these big money ideas, if you will persistently follow the suggestions given.
If you do this, you will not only capture the idea, but also the courage to put the idea into practical application. This courage, put to positive uses, will bring you to the goal of your desire-substance, love, friends, health, happiness, and the peace that passeth all understanding.

Secrets of the Operation of Your Mental Pictures by Genevieve Behrend [Extracted from the book: Your Invisible Power]
 
Genevieve Behrend(1897 - 1950) was determined to have Thomas Troward’s personal instruction even if she was the only pupil to do so. He reported that when he visited London at the Higher Thought Centre, she was waiting for him with earnest prayers for his lessons, and when he returned to his home on the South Coast, she was waiting with earnest prayers, sitting on the doorstep. Finally, under the stress at this most insistent resolve, he caved in letting her prepare a long list of questions she wanted to ask about the practical application of his views, particularly on visualization and other forms of concentration for health and prosperity. He answered these questions at his leisure time away from his other precious occupations.

Mrs. Genevieve Swink, who later changed to Mrs. Behrend, was touted as “the only personal student in America of Judge Troward's teaching."
She married  Hugo William Behrend (1878 - 1924) in 1915

Mrs. Behrend gave nationwide publicity to the writings of Mr. Troward, and made them popular in the metaphysical circles in the United States and Canada, where she lectured.

[Evidently, in Troward’s view her and Archdeacon Wilberforce were both his pupils]

When she was "well along in years" she became Mrs. Smith. She married Heber Worth Smith (1898-1952) in 1930. Her husband, Heber Worth Smith, was a quite younger man. In Vancouver, Canada he reflected:

”That he married her not only because, as her business associate and manager, he learned to love her, in spite of the difference in age, but also because he could protect her from may schemers who sought to separate her financially from the prosperity life had brought her, some of it as a result of the success teachings of Troward.” According to Harry Gaze.

Visualizing success was one of her special methods. She presented the Troward material in a practical way, with emphasis on visualizing success and prosperity.

Evidently the marriage was a happy one. As Mrs. Behrend-Smith's lecture work gradually diminished , Mr. Smith helped her maintain Troward’s work through correspondence courses.
As a footnote: Walter Goodyear, a grandson of the Goodyear name in rubber tires and other products, actually preceded her by two years in promoting Trowards work in New York. He opened a metaphysical library in New York and ran a publishing company, The Goodyear Book Concern, which published early Troward’s books. Goodyear was intrigued by the deep philosophy of abstract principles in their pure classic form.

In a 1917 passport application Genevieve Swink stated she was born Sept 9 1880 in Dresden, Ontario, Canada (Dresden, Carleton, Ontario, Canada) emigrated to the U.S. in 1880 and married Sidney Burbridge Swink  (1861–1904) in 1892.

Born in Denmark on 18 Oct 1878 to Harold [Harald]Behrend. Hugo William Behrend married Genevieve A Shumway(born 1880 Dresden Canada) in 1915. He passed away on 09 Feb 1924 in New York City (All Boroughs), New York, USA. (No Shumway found)
