Think and Grow Rich -- Chapter 4

AUTO-SUGGESTION
THE MEDIUM FOR INFLUENCING THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
The Third Step toward Riches

(The following are non-edited transcripts turned it by a couple brilliant mind masters)

Auto Suggestion:

Since I have not been doing my lesson plans
or being on many calls I have found that my
old thoughts are back again.

I am not programing my subconscious mind
with my burning desires, not doing my self
talk, negativity is creaping back in.... I have
been trying to please everyone else in my
life so I don't rock the boat. As you know I
have lots of things happen in the past and I
need to keep it under control.

So I am committing again to doing my lesson
plans, my self-talk, getting e-book downloads
and helping other leaders who want to learn
and be successful.

I am the one in control of what I think, what
I want , what I desire, what my success will
be and who I work with..... Autosuggestion
means I am in control of what I am putting
into my subconscious mind, I am the only
one who knows what I truly desire and want.

No one can stop me from having my desires
or stop me from my self-talk.

Speaking of self talk, it is just not the words
I say, but how I say them and also my emotion
I have when I am saying myself talk. It is truly
amazing when you can actually get your heart
racing, or close my eyes and picture myself
and my team at the success level we all want.

One other think I also do to help with auto-
suggestion is have photos of my team members,
and for people I am speaking with I will put
their names up so I can see them every single
day and focus on them.

Short but I have started on my journey once again.

Thanks to both of you, for the belief, the friend
ship and the love you both give me.

Your friend for life

Hello Michael,

I have absolute control over the material, thoughts,
ideas, beliefs, that reach my subconscious mind. So
says Hill. So it must be as far as I'm concerned.

The fact that I have absolute control over mt thoughts
reaching my subconscious mind,,,, does not mean that I
have exercised that control. Any control. So says Hill.

Don't I know it.

Here lies the recurring frustrations of my life, along
with all the voices of my ghosts, and any power they may
have been allowed to exercise. Allowed by me.

The preceding chapters have been a building of my self
talk, auto suggestion. Identifying my desire(s), naming
them, seeing them, untiI can feel them.

Desires I would not have previously dared to reach for.

Reaching for them by building Belief, and Faith, through
my own self talk. Self talking my way through this, into
it, becoming it, is such a foreign concept to my mind,
alien, but it feels so essential. So different from what
I have believed.

I don't know how to explain a craving for something I
have never tasted. But that's what I have. It's funny
how it works. At first it was just words, but I found
myself altering them, to something I liked better,
something that seemed to ring a bell.

Even if my self talk was not that passionate at first,
passion for what I am saying is building, as I edit
and rewrite, and get specific. The bell rings louder.

A war wages in me. A battle between the me I feel
that I want to be, and the me I drift back to, if
I allow my mind to drift.

I can't lose this war. I've been conceding ground my
whole life, without realizing it.... If I lost this
growing faith in myself, belief in myself, and daring
to reach for what I desire, then I could lose my
growing faith and belief in that universe, higher
power, the ether.

What a shame that would be..... If I can't be who I
dream of being, what is my purpose here?

Hill asks us; What price is too large to pay to gain
this? Talking to myself seems like a ridiculously
cheap price to pay. Self talk is free. All I have to
do is stick with it and re-program myself.

I have a long way to go to master this, and really
get from it, all I truly want....I can tell, because,
when I read this out loud to myself, part of me still
cringes at thinking it, writing it down, and then....

God Forbid, speaking it.

This is my old programming trying to kick in, telling
me to get real, this sounds nuts. That programming
has kept me running into the same brick wall, over
and over again, my whole life. How sane is that?

At these moments, I have to meet my past programming
with my self talk. But I know that with each expression
of my self talk, I'm replacing the old programming with
my new programming a little more each time I say it.

I think other people can hear it? Old programming
says things like "What do you mean you get your
plans from the ether?"

It's a scrap. A real battle in here. I knock that
voice down with my self talk. I'll win this scrap.
With each head on, I am gaining back ground I
previously surrendered.

Left to outside programming, others programming,
my mind is wide open to every influence, except
mine, and not working toward my desires.

Hill says, if your not so good at self talk, just
because you're a beginner, just keep practicing.
That's what Michael says. That's what Patti says.

I wonder how many people I couldn't hear say that
to me, until I hit that familiar wall again?

Like a drunk stumbling past the building where '
the AA meeting is, and never noticing it. Like not
noticing the step by step how to instructions with
each chapter in this book, the other times I passed
by.

ORDERS, given to my mind, by me, in the SPIRIT
of Faith, my faith, in me, and in the universe,
in Hill,in Michael, ORDERS based in my BELIEF
that this works, is all underpinned by my self
talk.

Without it, I'll build another house of cards,
and it will come down on me again.

I cannot trust to reason. Reason thinks I'm nuts
and keeps running me into the same brick wall.
At this wall, faith, belief, and desire fade away.

I should not wonder how I missed this chapter
before. Understanding it, and using it, was not
serving my old programming.

Carry out these instructions as though you
were a small child - Hill
