Always believe and think about things as you desire them to be.
You wish health? Then affirm health, think health, feel health, breathe health, live health.
Do you want success?

There is no doubt that our thinking raises or lowers the rate of our vibration.
We know that each word has its rate of vibration, hence every thought has its particular vibratory rate. The positive thought always has a rate of vibration higher than the negative. The health thought a rate of vibration higher than the sick. The cheerful thought a vibratory sensation higher than the discouraged.

Let miracles replace all grievances.
Problems are always some form of grievance that we cherish.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...
Invite the solution to come to you through your forgiveness of the grievance, and welcome the miracle that takes its place.
You are entitled to miracles!
Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...
"YOU ARE!" is the answer.
"How many times do YOU do the same thing and respond the same way?"
People are like that.
Because according to your subconscious mind, you get what you focus on.
"When do the good things start?"
When YOU are ready to change YOUR mind.
Say, If I only could...
Oh...
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...
Let miracles replace all grievances.
If only I could,
Be running up that hill...

New Thought
"New Thought: A Practical American Spirtuality" and "Practising the Presence of God for Practical Purposes" by Anderson and Whitehouse are a couple of light-hearted gems if you want to understand New Thought. They had an issue with ACIM calling it New Age though. Maybe because it's non-denominational. But ACIM is more congruent with some of the New Thought writings than the New Age writings.

Riches within your Reach
Published 1947 by Robert Collier.This is a collection of 4 books."The God in You" (1937),
"The Magic Word" (1940),
"The Secret of Power" (1945) and
"The Law of the Higher Potential" (1947)
He talks of the New Thought philosophy: God, the "I AM", thought vibrations, health, Ask-Believe-Receive, Praise and appreciation, Prayer, Treasure mapping, writing down our desires in the past tense as if they have already happened and being truly grateful.
He even quotes David V. Bush from "Applied Psychology and Scientific Living(1923):
"Man is subject to miscellaneous wrong thought currents if his mind is not in tune with the Infinite. or if he is not keyed up to higher vibrations than those of negation."From the P-R-A-I-S-E chapter:"When I worry, I am not trusting God. When I trust God, I have nothing to worry about".Maybe this is "The REAL Secret".
Which appears on all U.S. currency."In God I Trust"

Ask, believing you have already received is the “Law of Attraction”.
Amazing how many websites don't acknowledge his work.
I never watched "The Secret". Couldn't stand the introduction. Too sensational and suggestive. As Tomas Vieira says it's an ego thing. Someone at an NLP course said it appeals to people who are kinenesthetic. Someone else said there was nothing about taking action. The black and white pictures in the back of the book led me to New Thought. And was one of my paths to P.P. Quimby.

The Book of Life
Phineas P. Quimby, the father of New Thought, taught the "Science of Health and Happiness" . There was something bigger that we were all a part of. And we project the world we see.
History recalls how great the fall can be
His ideas have been carried by the likes of Mary Baker Eddy, the Dressers, Emma Curtis Hopkins, the Fillmores, Malinda Cramer, Nona Brooks, Rev. Joseph Murphy and the like each adding their own distinct flair to the ideas expressed. Others like S. S. Grimke, " Personified Unthinkables, 1884", contributed merely by grasping the idea of mental pictures and their influence. One hundred years after Quimby, Freud would express similar ideas and develop the EGO. A terms Quimby was the first to describe in his own terms.
Were the ideas expressed by New Thought entirely different than those of other parts of the world. No, but unqiue to the time and places they developed and based on the teachings of the New Testament.
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
Many books from that period are now once again available. One such author that grasped the ideas of the movement was Robert Collier. Cured by an illness through Christian Science he was an early advocate of Health products and developed an interest in New Thought and the power of the Mind. He penned: "Wisdom of the Ages"[originally titled "The Book of Life"], "The God in You", "The Magic Wand", "The Secret of Power" and "The Law of the Higher Potential Power".
As he wrote in "Wisdom of the Ages", 1924: "Psycholgists and Metaphysicians the world over are agreed on this ~ that Mind is all that counts. You can be whatever you make up your mind to be. You need not be sick. You need not be unhappy. You need not be poor. You need not be unsuccessful. ...
You body is for all practical purposes merely a machine which the mind uses."
So you tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
Collier correctly noted in "Wisdom of the Ages" 1924: "For the law of attraction is service. We receive in proportion as we give out". "...you are but the effect. Your thoughts are the causes.".
He also noted: "The most important province of your conscious mind is to center your thoughts on the thing you want. Believe that you receive, and then shut the door on every suggestion of fear or worry or failure.".
As Thomas Troward, in his "The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science" of 1909, wrote: "To get good results we must properly understand our relation to the great impersonal power we are using. It is intelligent and we are intelligent, and the two intelligencies must co-operate. We must not fly in the face of the Law by expecting it to do for us what it can only do through us; and we must therefore use our intelligence with the knowledge that it is acting as the instrument of a greater intelligence; and because we have this knowledge we may, and should, cease from all anxiety as to the final result. In actual practice we must first form the ideal conception of our object with the definite intention of impressing it upon the universal mind -- it is this intention which takes such thought out of the region of mere casual fancies -- and then affirm that our knowledge of the Law is sufficient reason for a calm expectation of a corresponding result, and that therefore all necessary conditions will come to us in due order. We can then turn to the affairs of our daily life with the calm assurance that the initial conditions are either there already or will soon come into view. If we do not at once see them, let us rest content with the knowledge that the spiritual prototype is already in existence and wait till some circumstance pointing in the desired direction begins to show itself."
As Collier eloquently wrote:
"There are three steps necessary.
First to realize you have the power.
Second to know what you want.
Third to single your thought upon it with singleness of purpose."
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie,
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie
"The initial step, then, consists in determining to picture the Universal Mind as the ideal of all we could wish it to be both to ourselves and to others, together with the endeavour to reproduce this ideal, however imperfectly, in our own life; and this step having been taken, we can then cheerfully look upon it as our ever-present Friend, providing all good, guarding from all danger, and guiding us with all counsel". Judge Thomas Troward "The Edinburgh Lectures on Mental Science" 1909
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, Yeah!

The Art of Metaphysical Demonstration vs ACIM
Tidbits from
THIS IS IT:The Art of Metaphysical Demonstration by Rev. Joseph Murphy
I've been alone with you inside my mind
You, the reader, are the one and only being there is. When you say, “I AM,” that means the sum-total of all the personalities in the world. All other conceptions are projections in space of the one being, yourself.
Hello, is it me you're looking for?
In reality we are all dreaming; when man fully awakens he knows that planets are thoughts, suns and moons are thoughts, and his own consciousness is the space which sustains them all. He begins to realize that the whole world is a thought. For example, he becomes aware of the fact that the body is not real, but it is a thought or idea held in consciousness. The body has no life apart from consciousness. He realizes that there is absolutely no reality to matter or the body of man; it is a group of ideas and opinions. Man gives life to ideas and opinions as long as he believes them. When he disbelieves the errors, these ideas have no life in them.
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
What has transpired is all a dream, a dream of the unreality. “Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” (Eph. 5:14).
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
Temporarily in space are moving the dreams of the Dreamer; worlds, suns, moons and stars are the thoughts of the Thinker. His eyes are closed; He is meditating, and we are His meditation.
'Cause you know just what to say

“Of all existence I am the source, the continuation and the end. I am the germ, I am the growth, I am the decay. All things and creatures I send forth. I suppose them while they yet stand without, and when the dream of separation ends, I cause their return unto myself. I am the Life, the Wheel of the Law, and the Way that leadeth to the Beyond. THERE IS NONE ELSE.”
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...
