Dollars want me!



In the old competitive thought men sought business and wanted the dollar. Under the New Thought, it is: "

This greatest of all secrets; the secret of imaging. [ALL POWER IS IN MAN]



 “I know of no other Christianity and of no other Gospel than the liberty of both body and mind to exercise the Divine Arts of Imagination. Imagination, the real and eternal World of which this Vegetable Universe is but a faint shadow, and in which we shall live in our eternal or Imaginative Bodies when these Vegetable Mortal Bodies are no more.” ~ William Blake
Why do we hyphenate the name “Judeo-Christian?”

THOUGHT IS POWER!

Recently, at my class, we tried an experiment, old to me, and yet then and there it burst upon my comprehension that in this experiment lay Power.“Five persons were concerned in it. One sat on a stool. Two stood at the side of the person at the knees, two behind the shoulders, all breathed in unison, and all raised their hands together, palms pressing together, all except index fingers closed. As their hands came up the fourth time, the fingers were placed under arms and knees and the person was lifted without any sense of weight. This was also done with a person lying down, and with a table. With a friend, I have lifted a heavy stone thus. I am sure that a few persons, by practice in breathing and moving in unison can in this way practically annihilate, In any given case, the law of gravity.”

The greatest gift that the nineteenth century gave the twentieth, was the demonstration that Thought is a Form of Energy. This is the greatest gift of all the centuries. It is
Man's Greatest Discovery and marks the beginning of the Psychic Era: the Dawn of the Millennium.
Today it is known, among thinkers and investigators, that Thought is Power. It is THE Power that controls all other Power. THOUGHT is POWER!
THOUGHT IS POWER!


Begin now to control SELF manifestations by controlling Thought, and by recognizing that it does the work. As you have used in the past other power, now use this. NEVER BEGIN TO DO A THING UNTIL YOU ARE READY. And you are not ready until, like the engine on the track, you are filled with Power. The hasty, the worried, the fearful, the irritable, the impatient, the doubtful, the fault-finding, are all like the engine that has punctures in the boilers, or has no fire. They are not ready. Get ready by first filling up with Thought. As in the experiment, breathe and think. Consider what to do; think of it; and breathe slowly, with this concentrated thought. All calm, patient, concentrated persons do this. All happy, healthful and successful persons do this. It is the secret of their success. Before they move
to do, they let the Thought fill them possess them. The Suggestion and the Affirmation must have time and opportunity to fill the organism with its power. This done, then this Power, this Thought, does the work. Think and breathe before you act! This is the Law of Power.

MAN'S GREATEST DISCOVERY.HENRY HARRISON BROWN1901





To MY READERS OF 2002.
What to me is Perception, to you is History.
The Century between us will shape into the sense-life of the race that which now has form only in Thought.
In that eternal world where we are one, I greet you.
You understand.

"SUGGESTION" IS THAT WHICH CAUSES A SENSATION OR A THOUGHT.

"A SUGGESTION" IS ANYTHING USED WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF ITS POWER TO PRODUCE A CERTAIN MENTAL RESULT WHEN ACCEPTED BY ANOTHER PERSON.

Henry Harrison Brown (1840-1918) was one of the elder statesmen of the New Thought movement in the early part of the 20th Century. He taught school; worked for newspapers; lectured in a variety of fields for 17 years and was a Unitarian minister for 7 years. He entered the work of mental healing and teaching in 1893. He thus knew that which he taught in his books.
Books include:


CONCENTRATION: THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
HOW TO CONTROL FATE THROUGH SUGGESTION
NOT HYPNOTISM, BUT SUGGESTION
MAN'S GREATEST DISCOVERY
SELF-HEALING THROUGH SUGGESTION.
ORIGIN, HISTORY AND PRINCIPLES OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT
DOLLARS WANT ME THE NEW ROAD TO OPULENCE
The Lord's Prayer: A Vision of Today
Success: How Won through Affirmation


Excerpts from
NOT HYPNOTISM, BUT SUGGESTION A Lesson in SOUL CULTURE
-BY HENRY HARRISON BROWN
[1902]

• Each person now, in ignorance of his power and of the laws of mind (and foremost among them is the Law of Suggestion), creates his body and his surroundings without being conscious of so doing, from his choice. Each day's conditions are the result of choices made without knowledge of results. These are common expressions: "If I had known more last year;" "Had I chosen differently;" "Had I forgiven;" "Had I bought or sold, how different my life would be." And one is condemned for his intemperance, his crime, his poverty, or his ignorance, "because he could do better," thus implying a belief, at least in a limited power of choice, and a limited responsibility for the conditions of life. Everyone realizes that his life would be very different today had he made a different decision on certain matters a year ago. Thus do we shape destiny according to our intelligence. This proves the point I wish to emphasize: each one, whether he is conscious of it or not, creates his own conditions of life.

• … some of the advertisements of the teachers and schools where the words, "secret power," "subtle power," and others are used to convey the idea that they have something mysterious and hidden and that the possession of this something will enable its possessor to influence any person to do his will, and will enable a graduate of their school to win everything he wishes in the battle of life. These claims are false. They mislead. NO such power exists. All persons may cultivate and attain all that is claimed for "Hypnotism" and "Personal Magnetism" by a simple application of this Law of Suggestion.

• Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy was, in her early career, a Spiritualist Medium. Dr. Quimby, of Maine, had, from his studies in Suggestion then called "Animal Magnetism," discovered that Disease is a belief. He developed a system of mental treatment. Mrs. Eddy, then Mrs. Baker, was a patient and a student under Dr. Quimby. This was her start. To the philosophy of Dr. Quimby, she applied an original Biblical interpretation. Rightly does she claim the name of "Christian Science" for the philosophy and Art founded upon her interpretation of the Bible. But she has no claim to originality in the Principle for the beginnings of this stream were, like that of Spiritualism, in the spring of Suggestion. Such movements, resulting in such blessing, affecting every avenue of modern thought and activity, are only prophecies of what shall be when Suggestion is generally understood.

Although this book was written in 1902 it is every bit as relevant NOW as it was then.
